Decision Affirmed.

Washington. an opinion by JUS
tice Holmes, the supreme court of the
United States upheld the validity of
the Minnesota state law holding rail-
road companies responsible for injur-
les done to employees through the
carelessness of other employees.
The case was that of the Minnesota
Iron company VS.. Mark NJ Kline.
Kline was the engineer of train on a
road in st. Louis county, owned by
the iron company and was injured
through the failure OF a brakeman
to set switch. The jury in the trial
court brought in verdict for SIS, 600.
The court. however, took the case
into it's own hands, and ordered that
the state law awarding damages to the
servants of corporations because OF
carelessness on the part of their fel.
low-servants was unconstitutional.
The state supreme court reverses this
finding and ordered that the verdict OF
the jury be carried into effect That
decision was affirmed.

preacher to preach to them, a fellow
who used to preach to the cowboys
out west. Sunday morning the tough
fellows in the show said they wouldn't
do thing to the preacher when he
came on to do his stunt. Their idea was
to wait until he got we'll on his
sermon and then begin to interrupt
him and ask questions, and finally to
get blanket and toss him up a few
times for luck, and then chase him out
and have the circus bulldog, that
chew the clowns pants, catch the min

during the closed season of the Red
Lake of the Red River of the North is
a problem which confronts drainage

North Dakota at this time and promi-

The fact that the Red Lake river and
Red River of the North do not open up
clear of ice for the free passage of the
vast accumulations of spring water un-
til after serious floods and enormous
damage to the entire farming commu-
nifty along their banks has been done,
makes the question of handling spring
freshet and thaw water most serious
one, particularly at this time when
there is so much ditch work just COM
pleted and so much in prospect for an
other year.

oR.uIN OF WORD BONFIRE.
Expression Most Probably Dates Back
to Druidic Days.

Was bonfire" originally written
"bone-fre" and were "bone-fires" an
ciently SO called from the burning OF
the martyrs? This is one theory OF
the origin of the word. From ancient
times bonfires have formed a striking
part of the celebration of st. Johns
eve, or Midsummer eve, June "a,
which was observed with similar rites
in every Country in Europe. Fires
were kirdled in the streets and mar
ket places of the towns. The young
people leaped over the flames or
threw flowers and garlands into them
with merry shoutings and songs ind
dances. A heather origin is beliered
to be indicated by these acts. A writer
says: "On the whole 1t seems prob.
able that the druidic fires, round
which 1t was considered lucky to leap
and dance on the occasion of the srm.
mer solstice. were built up of con,rl.
buttons brought by every one who
wanted to secure his luck for the cem.
ing year, and SO bonfire is reall.
