Lothario Got Wise But Lady Was the
Engineer In Charge.
A couple of young people came to
Brocket one day last week for the
purpose Of getting married, but after
arriving in town the young man con
cluded that he did not care to make
the venture, so when the freight train
came along he boarded 1t and started
north. The young woman then swore
out a warrant for his arrest, and the
authorities at Lawton were 'phoned
to arrest him when the train arrived
at that place, which was promptly
done. An officer went up and brought
him back. While on the road back, he
told the officer that he would marry
the woman in a few days, but she was
not to be put off in that manner, but
told him that if he was going to marry
her that no time was better than that
day. He agreed to the proposition and
accompanied by the officer they went
to Lakota and we're married.-Lakota

The decision of the supreme court
in the Stark county case is probably
not unexpected by those who have
become familiar with the frequent ef-
forts to annex the unorganized terri
tory in the southwest part of the state
to the county of Stark. This is, we
think, the third time the supreme
court has declared laws which were
passed with this end IN view uncon-
stitutiond and Of no effect The de-
cision in this case seems to rest upon
the sensible contention that law is
to be tested not by what has been
done under It but by what may be
done under its provisions. In other
words, the legislature cannot pass a
law giving authority which is uncon.
stituti0nal, even II 1t develops in the
administration Of the law that that
authority has not been taken advantage
Ell In this case, the law provides for
annexation upon majority vote. The
court holds that under this law ma
jority may have been returned IN one

tion, and q majority sufficient to over
come this in the county of Hettinger
for annexation. and such vote would
have accomplished the annexation.
This the court holds is beyond the
power, Of the, legislature to do. The
decision. the gist of which was pub
hshed yesterday CONSTITUTES several i'm
portant sections of the constitution
with regard to counties, and it would
seem that in the light of all the decis-
ions that have been made, whoever

Of unorganized territory to this county
should be able to steer clear of the
breakers.

The report of the pure food commits
sioner of the state, Prof. E. F. Ladd of
the agricultural college, has been re-
ceiyed from the printer. The report
covers some two hundred pages and is
full of interesting matter with regard
to food products sold in the state and
the efforts that have been made to
bring them up to the required stand
ard. In addition to the fact that many
of the goods offered for sale are
adulterated and falsely labeled, Prof.
Ladd says that there has been quite a
large increase In short weight pack
ages during the year, boxes supposed
to. contain. one pound to range from
ten to sixteen ounces; baking powders
have been found one and two ounces
short; cartoons of dried fruit, boxes
OF coffee and other articles have been
found ranging from an ounce to sew
eral pounds short from what they were
advertised to contain. Prof Ladd says
that the law is defective in that it
does not require the placing of the net
weight on every box of goods offered
for sale. Prof. Ladd also states that
there is much work vet to be done
with candies which are found adulter-
ated with harmful substances. Bever-
ages and soda fountain supplies have
been analysed and found to contain
coal tar dye and other coloring agents.
A number of proprietary medicines
have been placed under the ban, some
of them containing as high as forty
one per cent of alcohol, nearly as high
a percentage as whiskey and brandy.
Box Car merchants have been doing q
smaller business than in previous
years and the class Of goods has been
found better. Short weights, how
ever, are complained of, in boxes Of
fered for sale by these merchants.
During the year, it is worthy of note
that twenty two complaints were made
against violations of the pure food
law, and in twenty-one Of the cases
the parties either pleaded guilty or
were convicted. One was dismissed
upon a technical point. The last legis-
1ature increased the appropriation for
the prosecution of this work and with
the increased amount, it is likely that
more effective work can be done in
the following two years. The report
of Prof. Ladd gives in detail a great
number of complaints that have been
filed, and also list Of the food pro
ducts. analysed and the results. These
are published in detail. Every person
interested in the matter of pure foods
particularly housewives. and others
whose duty it is to be informed as tt
the food products offered for salt
should have copy of this report o
