In no other five years of w. C. T. u.
history has so much been accomplished
that we are able to realize or enumerate;
and refer only to that which has nat
ional character, while we do not forget
that nearly every state has had its VIC
tories:-Protection extended to the Paci-
fic lands against opium and rum; liquor
selling prohibited in the Immigrant sta
tons; the enactment Of scientific temper
ance laws by Virginia and Georgia, thus
covering with this benifcent law the en-
tire nation; the law prohibiting the sale
Of liquor in post exchange or canteen; an
appropriation Of 81, 50O, 600 for library,
reading, lunch and amusement rooms
and gymnasia for military posts and sta
tons; an order from the United States
War Department abolishing the system
of licensed or legalized prostitution
which had heretofore existed in the Phil
ippines; the retirement Of Brigham Rob.
erts, OF Utah, from the United States
Congress; the searching investigation
regarding the fitness Of Apostle" Smoot

A Serious Runaway.

On Tuesday evening while returning
home to Neche, VIM. Howell's team ran
away as he was turning the corner Of
Rolette and Second street. The cutter
upset and threw Mr.. Howell in snow
bank, not seriously hurt but dazed.
When he got up the team was nowhere
to be seen. He made search around
town but found no track ofthem. Think
ing they had gone on to Neche he hired
a rig and drove home, keeping a close
lookout for the missing team on the way.
When he got home and found the team
had not been seen there he Immediately
returned, by this time it was daylight.
On arriving here the horses were found
on snowdrift less than hundred var DIS
from where they left Mr.. Howell. They
had made sharp turn and run up
against the livery barn. When found
one of the horses was able to stand up
while the other was more dead than
alive from exposure. Thos. O'Connor,
the attendant of the barn took the animal
that was able to walk and started to lead
him into the barn when the horse fell
over on top of Mr.. O'Conner and frac-
tured his knee. He was taken to his
residence across the street and DR.. Har.
ris summoned, who dressed the fractured
limb. The patient is in bad condition,
and is doing as we'll as can be expected
under the circumstances. The horse
that was able to stand up soon revived
while the other had to be hauled into
the barn where it laid all day, apparently
more dead tnan alive. Now the ANNA
is able to stand up but it will be severa
days before he will get over it.

The Pioneer Express has been an oft
mentioned topic in the court room dur
ing the examination of the prospective
jurors on account of the full report given
of the Hartzell trial, but while some jur.
ors undoubtedly did form distinct opin :
ions from The evidence given there was
no one who said that his opinion was
caused by any conclusions drawn by this
paper. That was the point we tried to
avoid. If the witnesses testify in the
present trial as they did in the previous
trial, the reading will not have hurt any
thing but will only help the memory Of
the jurors.
