MUST NOT SHAKE
L|HGANT'S HAND
Judge Lewis Forblds Jurors to
Congratulate Parties to Law
suit In Court Room.


If jurors in cases that are tried before
Judge Lewis, in the district court, feel in
spired to congratulate the successful lit
igants, or if those who win suits wish to
express their thanks to the jurors in hand
shaking, they must in future leave the
court room to bring it off.
Judge Lewis, in mandate delivered
from the bench yesterday morning, de-
clared the handwriting privilege abolished
for all time.
Jurors in the court over which l pre-
side.' said Judge Lewis, will not be per-
mitted to shake hands with -litigants in
the courtroom either before, during or at
the close of a trial"
This; announcement came as rebuke
and warning to jurors in the case of Henry
Holland against the Great Northern Rail-
way company.
Holland was employed by the Great
Northern. company in the yards at Su-
perior, and on Dec. 3 last was injured by
falling from the top of freight car on
which he was: loosening brakes, and be-
ing run over. In his complaint it was
alleged that the accident was due to the
sudden stopping of the train. Holland S
left foot was crushed under the wheels,
and for the disability he demanded dam
ages of $50, 900.
The trial occupied three days and the
case went to the jury at 5 o'clock Mon
day afternoon.

.LUMB[RJACKS MAKE
TROUBLE ON TRAINS
They Occasionally Give Con-
ductors and Brakemen a
Strenuous Game.

Passenger crews of Northern Mime
sofa trains are having the usual trou-
BILE in handling unruly 41umberja cks."
Several encounters between the men
just coming out of the woods and con-
ductors and brakemen of trains have
been reported.
The men, who have spent long win
ter In the pineries, are like lot of
m1sch1evous boys, but to their natural
bent for fun is often added thet fcti-
tfous energy of poor whisky, and not
1nfrequently they try to run" the
trains. With conductors charged with
the responsibility of train management
and the protection of peaceable passen-
gers, they occasionally clash, and there
have been a number Of rough-and-
tumble encounters.
One conductor on Minnesota & In
ternational train, in Northern Mime
sofa, demonstrated to q, crowd of intOx-
icated woodsmen that he is something
of pugilist one day last week, and
there have been several instances on
other lines Of railroad where there have
been pitched battles between the train
crews and the men from the pineries.
Travelling alone or. in two or threes, the
lumberjacks are peaceful enough, but
often there are thirty or forty of the
men, with dozen TASKS of squirrel
whisky, and then trouble is almost I'M
avoidable.

SCARE AT CITY HALL
Smallpox Patient Drives Clerks
From Big Building.

For some time yesterday smallpox
patient was confined in one of the
rooms of the health department, and
as result the officials near where the
patient was located were careful to
keep as far away as possible.
1t was not a case concerning which
there was doubt, but was fully de-
veloped and at the period when the
disease is considered highly contagious.
1t is therefore little wonder that the
men working in the Office of the clerk
of the municipal court, the city prose-
cutor and other near by carefully
avoided the vicinity.
d. J. Kelly was the name of the pa
tient, and when first noticed by Pa
trolman Hurley was walking down
Robert street, the officers attention
having been directed by the people
taking to the street and avoiding the
sidewalk where Kelly was walking.
Hurley took charge of Kelly and es-
corted him to the city hall, taking the
patient in through a side door.
The news that real smallpox pa
tient was in the health Office was soon
noised about the court house and the
police court frequenters suddenly re-
membered that they had business else
where. A few of the Drawer spirits
determined to make sure that the re-
port was based upon fact. When they
were permitted to look at Kelly
through a glass door, they also reach
ed the conclusion that some other sec
ton of the city hall was more con-
ducive to health. The scare was not
greatly reduced when assurance was
given that the room where Kelly had
been kept had been disinfected.
Kelly is a 1aborer, twenty-four years
of age, and came from ST. Paul Park
five days ago. He has been stopping
at a Third street hotel, and it is fear
ed that other of the dodgers have been
infected. AS soon as possible Kelly
was removed to the Dale street infirm-
airy, it being the opinion that he will
develop a dangerous case of continent

RAISES PRIZE SPUDS
Clay County soiIProduces Fine
Potatoes.

'"The Clay county potato is the belle Of
our country" said D. w. Meeker, the
Moorhead editor and agriculturist, at the
Windsor hotel last night.
"Clay county has taken prominent
place in the potato producing belt" con-
tinued the newspaper man. 1.-THE soil in
parts of our country is peculiarly adapt
ed to the cultivation of fine potatoes. It
is a sandy loam and I venture to say
that not to exceed % per cent Of the
potatoes grown in Clay county are used
as food The fine varieties planted and
product in great demand for seeding pur-
poses, and potatoes grown in our section
of the country and used as seed in Mis-
souri, and other states far to the south
mature at least two weeks earlier than
the Southern varieties.
Henry Schroeder, of Sabin, is probably
the most extensive potato raiser in the
Northwest. He and his son last season
had over 800 acres planted with the tubers
and they realized handsomely from the
sale of the crop Some fifteen years ago
Schroeder settled in the county and had
just an even $1,000 and habits of thrift
and industry Today he is worth close
to 100000, and he has made 1t honestly
and by intelligent, diversified farming.
"Our potato raisers have organized an
association to protect the good name of
Red river valley potatoes. The product Of
the valley Is so good that our people
found that other sections were marketing
their tubers as the far-famed Red river
valley potatoes. The practice will be stop

DOCTORS WIN SUIT
Jury Holds Them BIameIess for
X-Ray Burns.

Drs. Wheaton, Rogers and Dennis
have won in the damage suit in which
William Henslin demanded $22,500
from them for injuries alleged to have
been suffered by him while under
X-ray treatment. The jury, after being
out all night, brought in its verdict for
the defendants yesterday morning. The
case was tried this time before Judge
Brill.
Mr.. Henslin first introduced his suit
in the Ramsey county district court
about year ago, and it then came be-
fore Judge Orr, who granted motion
to dismiss. On an appeal from this
order the supreme court granted new
trial, and evidence has been taken at
great length before Judge Brill. The
circumstances are peculiar and the evil
dence has proved of great interest to
members of the medical profession, and
to the general public as well.
Mr.. HenSlin, when he sought advice
from the physicians named as defend
ants in the case, believed that a gold
crown from one of his teeth had pass
ed down his windpipe into the lung
cavity. To enable the doctors to To-
cate the cause of his trouble, he sub
mitted to an examination under the
X-ray apparatus. In his complaint he
alleged that In the X-ray treatment he
was burned in such manner as to
cause q recurrent running sore, which
injured his health, gave him much pain
and inconveniece and prevented him
from following his regular occupation
as a carpenter. He. demanded $22,500
as damages.

HAS VALUABLE MAPS
Historical Society Is Recipient
of Interesting Records.

The Minnesota State Historical So
ciety has received three valuable sets
of maps to be added to it's archives.
One covers the Mississippi from the
mouth of the Ohio to the Twin Cities,
another is map Of the Mississippi
from the Ohio to the gulf, and third
covers the Missouri from its mouth to
the Three Forks in Montana. The
maps are the result of work of the
men of the war department and the
Mississippi river commission, and it
was through the courtesy of Senator
Knute Nelson that they were received
by the Historical society. Senator Nell
son is chairman of the commission to
survey the Mississippi river and it's
tributaries
The maps are made on a large scale
and are printed on heavy cloth paper.
Those covering the Mississippi from
the mouth of the Ohio to the Twin
Cities, the head Of navigation, are on
a scale of three inches to the mile, and
numerous soundings are recorded on
the maps. There are eighty nine maps
in the up-river series, and eighty three
in the series covering the river from
the Ohio to the gulf. All the navigable
portions Of the river are completely
marked, and the maps are up-to-d date,
the last having been printed within six
months.
A colored map of Itasca state park,
at the headwaters of the Mississippi, is
included In the donation. This map, on
scale of four inches to the mile,
shows the topography Of the park as
well as the lakes, sloughs and tiny
streams among which originate the
mighty Mississippi. This map will be
framed and will be made a permanent
wall map.
The Missouri river maps are on a
scale of one inch to the mile and cover
the Big Muddy from it's juncture with
the Father of Waters to the Three
Forks, far above Great Falls. Mont.
There are eightyfour sheets in this
display, and these, along with the two
sets covering the Mississippi, will be
bound in atlas form and will consti-
tute a valuable record for the historical
society's habitues. Secretary Upham
is much pleased with the donation, and
has written Senator Nelson the ac-
acknowledgements of the society.

BUSES FOR PUPILS
Parker's Prairie MayAdopt Con.
solidated School System.


Township officers of Parkers Prairie,
into practice the township school plan
now in force in some four or five town
ships in the state.
Members Of the board of education
of the village called on State Superin-
tendent j. w. Olsen at the state CAPT.
toll yesterday for information on the
consolidated school system. There are
five rural schools in the township, that
in the village being about the center of
the township, and the other four be-
ing in the four corners of the square.
1t is proposed to build a modern school
building in the village to cost from
$4,000 to $4,000, and which will accom-
modate all the school children of the
whole township. A complete system Of
grades will be installed in the new
school, and the children of the farm
ers of the other four districts will be
conveyed to the consolidated school by
teams.
The average term of school in the
five schools now. is seven months, and
it is proposed to give the pupils nine
months of school and a more superior
course of instruction than would be
possible in rural schools. The saving
in the closing of the four schools will,
1t Is believed, almost compensate for
the added cost for instruction and the
conveying Of the children to and from
the central school,. Teams and buses
can be hired in the country for from
$50 to $35 per month for this purpose.
Petitions will be circulated in the
school districts interested and on the
call of majority of the freeholders of
the districts special election will be
held
