LOSES SOME MONEY.
North Dakota Farmer Who Comes to
Buy Horses Has Bad Luck.

Bertel Sand, farmer of Rugby, n.
D., arrived in the city yesterday for the
purpose of buying some horses to take
back with him. He came from Madelia,
where he spent yesterday. Soon after
his arrival, he made the discovery that
he had lost part of the contents of his
bill book. He was eating supper, enter
tanning six others, and when he took his
book from his inner vest pocket he as
certained that he had but so bill left.
There was missing one $40 mill and
two $40 bills, and also a draft for $500.
He reported his loss to the police, but
was unable to account for it. If he had
been robbed while he was asleep, it is
strange that all of his money was not
taken He remarked that this loss would
not break him, anyway.

'The work of the Chicago lawyers in
the HOch case was particularly coarse,
is the opinion of The Minneapolis Jour
nal. "After the condemned man was III
the hands of the executioner, his lawyers
rushed before the United States dis.
trict court and asked for writ of ha-
beas corpus on the most frivolous
grounds. Judge Lands very properly de
MED it, and it is fortunate thing he
did so; for, if it had been granted, ant
the legally fixed hour of execution haC
passed without hanging, Hoch woult
have been a dead man in the eyes of the
law and it would not only have been I'M
possible to hang him, but he would have
gone free. Seems if these lawyers
ought to be arrested for something"

We feel like shouting from the
City Hall tower our congratulations
20 Senator Spooner. 1t looked as if
his fellow senators were drunk from
long imbibiDg of the absurd ''senate
tradition or had gone mad outright.
Fancying that they were punching
LaFollet,e, and growing crazier APP
parently from every drop of blood
they drew, they were in reality
doing their utmost for the Wiscon-
sin man.
We do not think Senator Spooner
saw this, and therefore asked them
to slow up a little bit. Senator
Spooner is not the kind of man
that sees such things. AS policy
player he is the poorest stick we
know of. So IL must have been
natural fairness that prompted him
to call upon his colleausnes to desst
from making asses of themselves in
their hot footedness after LaFollette.
That slowing-up took lot of glory
out of LaFollotte's day. 1t did d
lotof harm to the campaign picture
he " as making. Still, there is con-
siderable left.
Senator LaFolette has shown
enough of his hand in Washington
to make it clear to Wisconsin people
is his purpose. He is to work bis
national campaign on the same lines
he did his political business in Wis
consln. He is going to preach the
things for which he stands, and pitch
into everybody and everything that
does not agree with him. He is
going to preach the things for
which he stands, and pitch into

soon punch a Republican as Demo-
crat; a recreant senator as dis
agreeing legislator.

Strawberries and Insanity

Mind how you eat Straw berries
A Buffalo medical man has advanced
figures to argue that there is a de-
clded increase in the number of in.
sanity cases during strawberry
season and dropping off after the
favorite berry has been stricken
from the menu.
The physician, none other than
the allerist, DR.. E. P. Blomer, is
touring the West now in order to
obtain further figures id support OF
his theories. He will visit the hos.
pitfalls and asylums for the insane
from Colorado Westward and south
westward and compare statistics
with the state boards.
DR., Blomer does not as yet try to
explain why he thinks straw berries
have bad effect on the mind, but
declares his strong belief that they
DO exert malign influence over the
mental processes of persons Of GER
tain nervous temperament.
AS straw berry season al ways re-
ours IN given locality at the same
season or seasons annually, it may
be the weather influencing the sea
son, not the incidental toothsome
berry that is at fault. He cites the
uncontradicted fact that many per-
sons are visited with rash on their
bodies after eating strawberries and
there are others with whose diges-
tive systems the juicy berry plays
havoc. Still others there are who
are not harmed by the berry, so
long as they do not use cream with
| it
Just now when straw berries are
within reach of all in price, it seems
a little unkind of the medical man
to be trying to scare the consumer.
He will not be thanked among the
growers and will fail of finding gra-
titude among the timid who will not
again partake of the favorite dessert
without an inward fear of conse-
quences. Duluth News Tribune.

TOWN OF WASHBURN-LEE CASE.

! in circuit court. An appeal
was taken and the Judgment
has just been reversed on the
grounds that necessary par
ties defendant were lacking.
This will mean that the
Northern State Bank and
perhaps a hundred or more
citizens who signed a guar
antee indemnifying the bank,
will be made defendants, to-
gether with the town treas
urer and his bondsmen.
The reason why the people
outside of Washburn have
watched this case with inter
est are two fold. First they
were interested because the
prompt action of the Wash
burn citizens when they met
the demands of the N. p. un-
doubtedly saved the county
for all time a great public
highway which will prove a
powerful agency in the set
Element of large tract Of it's
undeveloped lands; and sec
ondly, because they had
strong sympathies with the
defendants in this action and
hoped they would win a clean
victory in the higher court.
| About two-thirds of this road
passes through the town of
Washburn and today furnish
es the only outlet the west
ern and northern part of the
town has. Settlers are COM
ing in along the railroad and
are converting stump lands
into valuable farms, adding
to value of the town and MAX
ing it a tit place for the habi-
tation of man. The town of
Washburn has been receiving
its full share of the benefits
from the transaction, and the
only regretable thing under
the circumstances is that it
will continue to do so. There
are times when the public in
terests demand immediate
action, and in such cases it is
not always practicable to
wait and 60 through the for
malities required by law.
This seems to be a case clear
ly in point.
After paying attorney fees
and other expenses it is
doubtful if the Town of Wash
burn will be any money
ahead even in case it RECEIVERS
it's share Of the money spent
to secure the N. p. Those
behind the action must have
known this, but they seem to
feel better about their money
going into the hands of law
yers than for something of
undoubted benefit to their
town. They have millions
for war, but not one cent to
contribute, when it comes to
assisting in securing great
public enterprises. Iron River
