in large numbers 10 have their as
sessment reduced. The smalness OF
the number applying for reduction
appears to be the source of soreness
on the part Of the News, and because
Of that soreness and its eagerness to
make wrong impression, it does
not even attempt to give the names
Of those who have petitioned for a
reduction. How many of the forty
nsnres has it given? 1t has not
made even a feeble atetmpt to re
port the actual proceedings of the
court, for the reason that it knows
well enough the facts in that connec-
ton would show the public them
constituencies of its declarations so
replete with Misrepresentation and
would destroy the effort it is max
inr to mislead. The public may go
10 the records to learn the real
truth in the matter and that public
will find by those records that the
News has been giving its readers I'M
qualified fabrications, and having
learned that it is an easy matter Tor
the public to conclude that the mo-
tive of that sheet is merely to make
the wrong impression, though IN ITS
prejudice and ignorance, it may
actually be as guileless of design as
babe. or an IDIOT.

1t is apparent that the sole mo-

pie are hocI1ing to the court house

So He Amounted Jones,

II began to practice law in Dakota
in territorial days." said the lawyer
from Chicago. Our Judges We're sent
to us, and some Of them didn't know
any mor about law than they did
about the political beliefs Of the mound
builders. One Of them-Ill call him
Jones-was SO appallingly ignorant
that 1t was a great relief when on the
admission Of North Dakota to the
Union he left the bench and began to
practice law. His successor was a man
wholly without q sense Of humOr, and
the only good thing he ever said In his
life was wholly accidental. A man was
brought to trial charged with selling
liquor to the Indians. The Judge asked
him If he had a lawyer to defend him.
mo said the man, I don't want q
lawyer
"'Well,' said his honor, looking about
the room till his eyes rested on his
predecessor, I'll appoint Judge Jones
to defend him.'"-Washington Post.

The Chronometer.

In 1713 the English government Of
fered 10000, f15,OOO or 100000 to any
n discovering a method for determin-
ing the longitude at sea within sixty,
forty or thirty miles. John Harrison, a
carpenters son, made his first chro-
nometer in 1873 and was sent the next
year to Lisbon and back to test IT. Inc
trial was successful, but the inventor
was awarded only $500. He produced
other instruments in 1870 and 1749.
and finally in 1850 he constructed q
chronomcter in the form Of n watch,
Ave inches in diameter, which was only
/ minute 54s seconds in error after a
VOYAGE to Jamaica and back. This was
equivalent to determining the longitude
within eighteen miles, but full pay
ment for his invention was withheld

PRAIRIE DOGS.
Choked Up II River While TRAVELLING
From Oklahoma to Texas.

From to Texas.
"The prairie dog migration from
Oklahoma to southwestern Texas dur
ing July, 1874, eclipsed anything Of
that sort witnessed by white men in
this country" said q veteran who saw
1t. millions Of tho frisky little bark
ers must have been In quest Of new
pastures or perhaps feared the ap-
proaching legions of home seekers
would surely eXterminate the dogs and
pillow up the dog towns. The prairie
dog migration from the north to tho
southwest lasted six days during tho
month Of July, 1874. The travelling
dogs while crossing the Red river in
terfered to q great extent with the
cattle that came to that stream to
Quench their thirst, Some cowboys
that were on the banks Of Red river
during the time when the prairie dogs
swan across say that the stream was
chock full Of the little rascals for
many miles up and down the river.
The thirsty cattle were either unable
or unwilling to stick their mouths into
tho water through the moving mass of
living prairie dogs. The cowboys were
getting ready to drive the furnishing
stock to a distant stream, but tho Red
river became clear Of the repelliny
swimmers after blocking the useful
drinking place for about a week. It
was generally supposed that the dogs
halted when they had reached the
staked plains Of Texas."-Kansas City
Times.

BANKER CLEMENT CONVICTED.
round Guilty on T%wenty.four Counts
of Indictment

VI indictment.
81 faal. July 8.-Guilty as charged
IN tWenty-four Of the counts in the in
uictment was the verdict returned by
'he Jury IN the United States district
court IN the case of Thomas B. Glenn
ent, the aged F%aribault banker,
charged with misapplying the banks
1unds and with making false entries
IN the books and in reports to the
comptroller Of the currency.
The indictment contained twenty.
seven counts and the court directed a
verdict OF not guilty in two of these,
SO that the jury found the defendant
guilty in all but one Of the counts
submitted to it.
george N. Baxter, the defendants
attorney, made a motion for a new
trial and Judge Morris set the date for
.ne hearing on this motion as Nov. 10.
The defendant will continue at lib
erty on his bond, which is a continu-
ing one, and the passing of sentence
VIII be deferred until after the court
a passed on the motion for a new
trial.
Inc penalty under each of the counts
IS from five to ten years imprison.
ment, but the court may make the
sentences concurrent. This would
probably be done In this case, as the
jurors unanimously recommended
mercy IN behalf of the defendant.
