The 1905 Session Laws.

The present session of the legislature
promises to make lot of trouble for the
1899 code and subsequent session laws.
Up to date more bills have been intro.
ducee than any session of the past. IF

and you know that ignorance of the law
does not excuse any person. The quick

printed within few hours after the gov
ernor has disposed Of the last measure

laws. contain 80 pages of North Dakota

terest, we think. The "Pocket Edition"
will cost but dollar. and its possession
may save you much more than this.

mary" Are not state officers public
officials? And is it not the methods in
vogue at the state conventions the
cause of about all sentiment in favor of
primary election reform of any kind?
And yet. under the mckenzie substi-
tute" these officials are exempt from
the operation of the primary. More
than this it violates the spirit of the
constitution and aims to strengthen the
power of the state machine by proyid.
ing that delegates at state conventions
shall vote by secret ballot. Heretofore
the people bad the satisfaction of
knowing how their delegates voted at
the state conventions, but under this
so.called substitute" measure they are
denied even this small consolation.
Still The Forum Endorses the "substi.
tute" as redemption of the party
pledge!
I trust that the people will come to
unde rstaud that the "substitute"
measure recently enacted into law was
originated and forced: drought the
legislature by the enemies of real
genuine primary election reform, and
that in the future they will all the more
persistently insiet, upon an effective
primary election law. Just as the
Australian ballot has thrown safe.
guard around the voter and wiped out
corruption at the polls. so will law
like the senate bill wipe out the cor.
ruption now attending the nomination
of candidates by party conventions, and
the party voter be given voice in the
selection of the party nominees for
public Office. Spot the traitors in the
legislature, close up the ranks and con.
tinue the fight. T. s. Hunt.

PHILIPS is
TAKEN AWAY
.Forger Who Plead Guilty
Will Start Serving Term
in Pen Tomorrow.

Sydney Philips, the self con-
confessed forger who passed a
number of bogus checks in the
city some time ago, was taken to
Saltwater this morning and will
start serving his term Of three
years in the penitentiary tomor-
row. Before leaving Philips ex-
planned his reasons for attempt
ing to obtain money by forging
checks. He stated that he had
taken a claim in Canada last sum-
mer and was married last fall.
He came to northern Minnesota
in August and worked for the
Irwin and O'Brien company at
their camp near Kelliher last
winter. When he landed in Be
midi this spring he did not have
sufficient money with which to
make final proof upon his claim
and took the forgery method of
obtaining it. He secured the
blank checks while working at
the camp.

HONKERS ARE

Crookston Times: During the
high wind last night the fright
ened wild geese on their way
north found the electric lights Of
the city the lodestones which at
tracted them, as it seemed ire
sistibly, and during the late night
and early morning hours the wild
'shonks" of thousands of the
birds were to be heard lowering
in circles oyer the bright beams
Of light. The wind apparently
would drive the honkers before
it with a vengeance and the flap
ging Of wings and other goose"
noise as the birds circled back to
the lights and lowered around
about them, made many a late
home goer wish he had a gun.
The birds maintained an eleva-
ton of perhaps hundred feet
but some of them approached
much nearer the lights.

FELL FROM
A BOX CAR
Brakeman Narrowly Escaped
Being Killed as Result
of Accident.

Crookston Journal: This morn
ing an accident occurred on the
Great Northern which might
easily have resulted in the death
of Brakeman Neil who was the
victim. He was running along
the top of the cars on the local
freight early this morning before
day light and fell near the Benoit
station.
One of the cars of the train
was filled with horses and the
harnesses were thrown on top of
the car. Forgetting this or not
being aware of the fact, Mr.. Neil
in running, stumbled over them
and fell to the ground. He was
badly bruised and shaken up but
it is not believed that he suffered
any serious result. When he re-
gained sufficient strength he
managed to walk to farm house
where his bruises were dressed
and then getting back to the
tracks he tagged the passenger
No. IS and came in on that. In
the meanwhile he had been miss
ed upon the arrival of the freight
in this city and a switch engine
had been sent back to look for
him. They ran back as far as
Erskine and gave up the search
there, knowing that he had been
with the train when it had passed
through that village.

Since his departure it is
learned that the Toxic govern
ment pays all of the expenses at
tached to the trip in the far east
and as well makes liberal prom
ises of advancement and recon-
pense for service. Roma told his
friends that he cared neither for
honor: money or favors from his
native government, but that he
wanted to see Russia whipped to
a standstill and was ready to lay
down his life for the cause of h is
country.

Northern Towns Will All
Send Delegates to Conven-
ton at Blackjack.
PROPOSITION TO LOWER WOOD.
RATES WILL BE SUCCESSFUL.
Matter Will Be Discussed al
Length and Committee Will
Go to st. Paul.

There are few propositions
agitated in northern Minnesota
that have attracted the wide
spread attention and the hearty
support of SO many settlers and
residents as the wood rate prob
lem, which will be discussed at a
meeting of delegates to be held at
Blackduck next Tuesday. Citi.
zens of towns and villages, to-
gether with the residents of coun-
try districts, join in demanding a
lower rate from the railroads for
hauling cordwood from northern
Minnesota to the markets in the
western part of this state and
North Dakota, and from present
indications there is little dOu BIT
but that the demand will be
granted. If not granted by the
railroad companies, the matter
will be appealed to the railroad
and warehouse commission.
Every town affected by the
rates now in force will send dele
gates to the convention, which
will voice the sentiments of north
ern Minnesota in demanding that
rate be established whereby
the settler who cuts his cordwood
and hauls it to the market may
realize something for his stamp
age. Under present conditions,
there is no possibility of doing
this unless the settler has enough
ready money to first cut his wood
and then allow it to season, and
there are very few settlers in
northern Minnesota who can af-,
ford to do this, as the country is
new and in some sections wholly
undeveloped.

matters right. Nearly every cit.

the affair, and an attempt to tar

the cooler headed citizens pre-.
vailed and he was not subjected
to any indignity. Felt is cordi-
ally disliked, however, and senti
ment among the better class at
Mallard is all in favor of the
widow whom they think has been

Emil, son Of John Eikstadt, is

Judge Pendergast on charge Of
having assaulted his cousin, the
son of Karl Eikstadt. The trouble
is the result Of a family feud

years past. There has been i'll
feeling between the three broth
ers, John, Fred and Karl, for a

years of age, is claimed to be
spite work. A large number of
witnesses will be examined and
the case is quite interesting.
