o DISPENSER.

Authorities Would Have Express Co.
Take Out Liquor License.
The United States government has
started suit against the Western Ex-
press company, which operates on the
500 road through this state. The reve-
nue. officials claim the express COM
pany is doing a wholesale and retail
booze business in the state in the sale
and collection of liquor and beer. The
company contends that the stuff is
sold By duly licensed dealers in other
states, and the express people merely
act as common carriers, and their coll
lection department is used by the
wholesalers to secure payment In the
same manner that bills for any other
kind of goods are Corrected by the
company. The government insists
that the company should pay a license
for every point in the state which
handles G. o. D. packages of liquor,
and sues for $1O5 from each station.
A, large number of stations are named
and. the total makes a considerable
sum. r
The express company is forced to
fight. for If they pay the license it will
be an admission of the form of the
business conducted, and in direct vio-
lation Of the prohibition laws of the
state. It would give the authorities
of every county along. its lines an OPP
portunity to have its agents arrested
as blind piggers. y -
The result Of the action win be
watched, for closely. .ssisss

read by X. M. Mass of Grand Forks Oh
"The Merchant in Politics." and one
by w. C. Short of Neche on "The
Value of Advertising"

ter Poader, New Rockford; A. T.

The election of secretary was left
to the board of directors at a later
meeting. Resolutions were passed
against the proposed parcels post bill,
the grounds for the resolution being
that it would work hardship on the
smaller merchants, would create a
still larger deficit in the p%ostofice de-
partment, and that it favored the re-
duction of letter postage to 1 cent.
The next meeting Of the association
will be held at Valley City about this
time next year.
Before adjournment the name of the
organization vas changed by vote to
the Retail Merchants Association Of
Dakota. The object was to widen tho

Citizen Train.

Citizen George Francis Train is
dead. Eccentric almost to the point
of lunacy. he was in many respects a
most remarkable man. The children
in the neighborhood of Madison square
New York, will miss the Citizen -
the birds he fed every sunshiny day
will wonder what has become of their
benefactor. and the great. busy world
will stop long enough to smile over
the recollection of his idiosyncrasies.
to sigh over the loss of generous.
hearted. sunny tempered. kindly man.
The present generation knew rrain
only for his mannerisms and his af-
fectations. but he was in his day
man of affairs, one who welded pow
erful influence in the spheres of bust
ness andletters. He was busy pioneer
street railway builder and promoter.
and through that chanel. in which he
may be said to have blazed the way
for others. he accumulated fair
share of the worlds goods. Then he
found time to write some extremely
clever books. Among them are AN
American Merchant in Europe, Asia
and Australia. young America
Abroad, - Championship of Women"
and others.
OF Trains eccentricities volumes
might be written. In the later years
of his life he would never shake hands
with an adult. When one was intro
duced to him his acknowledgement
was made by clasping his own hands
together and shaking them smilingly.
With children he was always at
his best. and they loved him and fol-
lowed him and learned from him
Every fair dav when lie was in New
York he might be found ON Madison
square, group of childen around him
telling stories and engaging with
them in childish sports
The Citizen spent several
months at the Worlds Fair in Chica-
go. On the day of his arrival he
announced that he would wear
white duck suit every day until he
could wear one an entire day without
soiling it. The Chicago atmosphere
is not the best in the world for such
purpose and the cold weather found
Citizen Train still donning fresh
duck suit every morning. He finally
gave up the task as hopeless. Salt

Timely Warning.

Leadville has a typhoid fever epi-
demic. 1t is causing many deaths
and the News Dispatch warns all res
idents of the city to clean up in the
following strong language:
1.-The wind blew gale all of yes
terday morning and the ambient was
saturated with carrion. Down from
Tennessee Pass it swept. bringing
with it a fine load of frost, laden with
the filth from the dumps. for the CON
sumption of every consumer of life
giving oxygen in the bailiwick of
Leadville.
Up from the Leadville Basin west
of the livery barns, the garbage of the
grocery stores, the rotten meats and
the decayed vegetables of the markets
are dumped in any old spot that looks
handy There is not an outlet to the
city which is not strewn with the
same banks of filth. The snow and
frost which blows and falls on the flats
is discolored with the fine particles of
pollution which blows up FROM the
dumps. All this comes down the val
ley to the city.
Along Harrison Avenue the street
and the gutter has become stopping
ground for the horses of expressmen.
All day long they stand there, depos-
iting filth which no one ever dreams
of removing. only the water which
flows along the gntter removes part
of the filth, carrying it to some lodg-
ment IN front of a home, where when
the water stops it is picked up by the
wind, driven into the homes. and the
air even of the fireside is laden with
disease breeding germs. This accum-
ulation has been collecting for years
and no effort made to remove it.
Frost and cold weather do not de-
stroy the pollution of the filth. The
frost aids disintergation the more and
the PARTICLES become finer, even refus-
ing to be held by the fine tissues of
the nasal organ. and thev pass unpre-
vented into the lungs.
The time to clean up NAV come a
little later-the time to stop filthy
habits is now. 1t is never out of sea
son to prevent the accumulation of
refuse, carrion and decayed matter in
the streets. 1t is never ont of season
to use the ounce of prevention. "
This warning from Leadville should
be needed in Grand Junction. Do
not dump filth into the hack yards and
alleys.

Newspaper readers will remember
the question recently appearing in
the newspapers in the country in re-
gard to the age of person known as
Ann, and this question seems destined
to play a more or less conspicuous
part in the fortunes of "a Kansas school
teacher. According to the New York
Tribune, this teacher is ON probation
and in grave danger of losing his sit
uation. because lie insists that Ann is
eighteen years old and the trustees
know better. The teacher gave the
problem to the pupils and demonstrat-
ed claerly by algebra and plain arith-
metic that Ann must be eighteen. The
children took the problem home end
one of the trustees discovered that
Ann was twelve-couldn't be any
thing else. He called the other trus-
tees in council and convinced them of
the correctness of that conclusion

proved TO be, if not an idiot, an iano-
ramus. unfit to teach anvbody's chill
dren. The trustees put the alterna-

CHAPTER K.
The Rescue.


The arms Of the men were brawny
and strong; Green was light in weight
and 1.-THE as a tiger; the rope ran out
sloly and steadily, slid out ard down
over the sharp edge OF the chasm
where the grasses were long and hid
the sharp cut into emptiness, making
a treacherous foothold. Suddenly the
rope stopped running, grew slack. and
Green's voice came up in shout.
Thus silence reigned again save for
the rain and wind.
Moments passed; to the girl stand
ing back motionIess the moments
seemed like hours. Her eyes did not
move from the edge where the rope
ran over. Green called again, and
they began to pull the rope.
Dolores eyes widened as she
watched them; her lips. were apart, a
flush on her cheeks. The mist grew
more thick and dense, stealing up and
up until 1t reached the edge OF the
chasm. 1t stole about the men at
work at the rope and enyeloped them
silently; through its gray folds they
looked like specters at work for all
eternity, with set faces, pulling the
rope in and in.
The rope came up steadily and slow
and sure, then Green spoke from just
below the surface.
stop; some of you give me hand
here. Careful. He is insensible.
They obeyed him without word A
terror was on Dolores face; she did
not move; her fingers were twisted
tightly together her lips we're COM
pressed in a straight red line.
The men were slow and careful; 1t
was 10 light thing to lean over the
edge of the chasm; the treacherous
edge hidden in sedge might give way
at any moment, bat the hands OF the
men were slow and steady; they
obeyed Green's commands as though
they were powerless of self-thought-
They had Johnson up on firm ground
and Green after him; they laid the
insensible man on the ground with
coats for pillows; they forced some
cider between his fsetl and chafed
his brawny hands tenderly as a wo-
man would. Two of them cut down
couple of saplings and Topped of the
branches, making the body smooth;
these they bound together with two
cross pieces; they crossed the rope
in a network back and forth No
words were uttered; they worked in
silence with a grimness that was al
most terrible to the watching girl
The rain was falling steadily now.
and dripped through the branches,
falling on Johnsons face. His hands
moved gropingly moment; he
opened his eyes and locked vacantly
about him; they were hollow eyes and
hungry; he recognized no one. Dolo-
res came up shyly, offering no word
of sympathy. and with moan John
son closed his eyes again.
