After n county has been settled fifty
years or more, its courthouse, school
houses and bridges built, 1t would
seem us though the yearly rate Of tax
alton would and should be less. If
there Is such county in all the west,
we should like to know It's name.
Taxes, instead of growing less as a
result of getting these improvements
made and of the greatly increased
amount of taxable property available,
either remain stationary or show an In
crease from year to year, the cost of
the administration of county, school,
municipal and state government con-
stantly increasing. The moment sur
plus appears in any of the several
funds that moment some new object
romcs up to absorb it. A live political
issue could be well made in many
states and in nearly all cities and
counties demanding more economical
methods of administration of govern
ment and a lowered rate of taxation.
The methods of procedure in our
criminal courts have come to a point
where case is almost never disposed
of. where for even the most hclnous
ofrenses the defendant Is allowed trial
after trial granted on the most trivial
and fictitious of grounds. Nothing
does the country need more than the
Importation of a few English Judges
to show our courts how to try a case
and finish 1t at minimum of expense.

Skim milk Is one of the most valu-
nble products of any farm. 1t is rich
In protein content and the one thing
which is needed by all the young things
on the farm to make them grow lusty
and strong. 1t never should be fed
to matured animals II there are any
young things-calyes, pigs and colts
to feed 1t to. 1t is especially good food
for laying hens and young chicks. and
the ability to have plenty Of skim milk
on the farm Is one of the Justlhcations
for keeping dairy Of cows.
England pays to Denmark $4,000 900
year for the one item of butter, and
the queer thing is that while we can
sell the Danes good share of the
dairy rations used In the manufacture
of this butter we are st'll unable to
sell the Englishmpn the butter Per-
haps the time VIII come when we will
adopt the same rigid system of inspec-
tion and manufacture employed by the
Danes and as carefully study the tastes
and notions of the English people as
closely as they do, but 1t is rot here
yet.

FISH FOR NORTH DAKOTA.

A carload Of young fish to stock
North Dakota streams arrived in
the city last night, and the work Of
distribution has already been com.
menced. The car is one of six op.
Grated by the government bureau
of fisheries, and is fitted up for the
service in which it is engaged in a
most ingenious manner.
In the car at the present time are
large-mouth black bass, rock bass
croppy, yellow pencil, cat fish and
brook trout. The fish are distrib-
uted by the government without
cost to persons who are interested
enough to make formal application
and who have a proper place in
which they may be bred.
Great care is exercised in the dis
tribution. The water supply must
be first tested and before the fish
are turned in their new home, the
temperature Of the water in which
they are to be placed must cores.
pond with the temperature of the
water in which they we're kept.
Supplies of fish were sent out OF
here this morning along the N. P
to Dickinson, over the 500 to I'm
derwood. to the southern tier OF
counties in the state as far as Ell
lendale, to local points between
this city and Casselton, and north
to Binford. The car will remain
here until Thursday, when it will
start for Church's Ferry. Fish will
be distributed from there along the
line of the Great Northern as fa1
west as the Montana line. -Fol UNI

COMPULSORY ATTENDANCE

An important amendment to the
school law is the change in the en-
forcement Of the compulsory at
tendance. Heretofore, this work
was in the hands Of the president
of the school board, and would Of
ten lead to unpleasantness between
that official and his neighbors. It
now becomes the duty Of the clerk
to report delinquents to the county
superintendent, and he in turn to
the states attorney. Below is the
section of the law covering this
point:
It shall be the duty of the clerk
or secretary of the board Of educa-
ton Of any city, town or village, OF
the clerk of the school board Of any
district to inquire into all cases Of
neglect Of the duty prescribed in
this article and to ascertain from
the person neglecting to perform
such duty the reason therefor, if
any, and to notify the county super
intendent Of schools Of such neg
lect; and said county superintend-
ent, upon proper presentation Of
facts, shall lay the matter before
the states attorney whose duty il
shall be to proceed forthwith to Sc
cure the prosecution for any ofense
occurring under this article; pro-
vided further, that the board of ed
ucation in any city Of over 5000
inhabitants may appoint truant
officer who shall perform the duties
implied in this section

Last week we had the pleasure
of attending the Minnesota State
Fair along with a number Of other
Washburnites. On our way to the
city of Minneapolis, near Kuhn on
the 500, we were agreeably sur
prised to meet one of our Mclean
county. stockmen. He was lost.
He had left Bismarck the night
before with several cars of cattle
billed through to Chicago. When
Kuhn was reached the conductor
said that they would stop for break
fast and the Mclean county man
headed for restaurant. After
eating his meal he went to the de-
pot and all he could see of his cars
Of stock was a fast disappearing
spot on the horizon. The only
thing to do was to wait until the
next train, which arrived that af-
ternoon. On the, arrival of the
limited he climbed aboard with
hopes Of catching up with his stock
in St. Paul. This side Of Cakes
the train went into the ditch and
there was delay of several hours,
and on arrival at Cakes a train was
made up and Hankinson was made
by daylight. The lost man was
about discouraged and he was
busily trying to figure out how he
could explain things to his wife. A
stock train took him aboard and he
took up the pursuit Of his three
cars of stock.
Monday morning we arrived in
the city about'2 o'clock a. M, and
proceeded to hunt a room. After
several hours hunt, we found one
on the outskirts. About nine o. clock
we started for the fair grounds.
Talk about a crowd, it was a per
feet jam from the time we left the
city until our return. The twin
city press had long articles about
the efficient manner in which the
large crowd was handled especi-
ally by the street cars. The fact
Of the matter is that we have never
seen such a large crowd act in a
manner that would be2a discredit
to a herd Of Texas cattle before.
The country people we're not to
blame as in the rushes for street
car or an, admission ticket to the
grand stand you would always find
the cityite fighting like-all possess
ed for a front row. The fair was
something grand and the exhibits
the best ever, but we are afraid
that in 9 few more years that too
much Of the space will be taken
up BY fake shows and other fea-
lures Of not the best Dan Patch
proved the drawing card that was.
the best ever. Take it al together
the fair could not IS best.

But how prone the young minister Is
TO follow after those who are rieh OF
socially strong in a community and yet
not noted for their Christian consecra-
tioni How common it is for the rich
merchant TO be the president OF the
hoard of trustees, even though he De
not a church member. How easy 1t IS
for the young minister to yield to the
worldly elements of his congregation
who want fine music in the choir lott
even though that music has to be rem
dered by men and women who never
have protested Christ as their Saviour
and who are notorious for their indlf-
ference to all things sacred and divine!
How liable the minister is to lean upon
those who never lean upon Jesus and
then to expect his people to be spiritual
people! God forbid that in any church
the pastor should seek for his chief ad-
visers and leaders those who think
more of the cut of their outer garments
than they do of their inner conseera-
tion. for those who would sooner go to
a ball or a card party Or a theater than
to the house Of prayer! When the lead
ers of church are unsanctitied they
become the leaven which leavens the
church loaf.
But there is still another class TO
whom l wish to call your attention.
The new minister's best friends are al
ways to be found among those who
were the best friends of the minister
who preceded him in that pulpit. They
are to be found among those who are
always ready to praise their last min
ister's virtues and never allude to his
failings. They will tell you their last
pastor had the loveliest wife and the
finest children and the happiest of
homes. They viii say: "Yes, our old
pastor was a good man. l never sat at
his feet without receiving a blessing
from his sermons" And these friends
of the old minister did receive a bless
ing from every one of his sermons.
And they will receive a blessing from
every one of the new minister's ser
mons. As they were friends to the old
minister so they will be friends Of the
new.

so1a Masnineton,s Socks.

The Paris police have in custody
man who, they are not certain which,
is either the most arrant fool or
swindler of the utmost audacity. Jean
Manutor, as he calls himself, opened a
little shop and began selling alleged
antiquities. Among the articles cata-
logued and offered at fabulous prices
were:
A pair of Cardinal Richelieu's slip
pers.
Bathtub in which Marat was MUIR
dered.
Pistol with which Boulanger shot
himself.
Pipe once owned by Edgar Allan Poe.
Three pairs Of George Washington's
socks.
Bow with which William Tell shot
the apple from his sons head.
A tooth of Raphael
The bullet which killed Abraham
Lincoln.
Manutor was doing a rushing busi-
ness when the police stepped in. He
seems to be totally unaware that he
was breaking the law and protested that
all the articles were as represented.

and valuable ca e been lost
in that winding stream. Now, my
friends, whose advice should the min
lister most willingly follow-the young
men who know but little about Christ
and who have only been church mem
bers for a few months, the younger
men who have not risen to the high
plane where they can drop their selfish
ambitions. or the old men who know
that their lives are nearly run and
whose only object is to serve their
church during the few years that are
left? want to tell all ministers and
all church members that any minister
or any church which gets out Of the
habit of honoring and following the
advice of the old folks is heading to-
ward almost certain shipwreck. The
older members of the church intuitiyely
know when any proposed course Is
right, and they intuitively know when
it is wrong. Better, rather, heed the
advice of the old Christians than any
other class Of laymen.
