The fierce county-seat war which
has ragged in Sherburne county be-
tween partizans of Elk River and
Becker is apparently about to be set
tied by action of the district court.
Attorneys for the two towns have
agreed on case to be submitted to
Judge Giddings and briefs are now
being prepared. The action is to
compel the county commissioners to
submit ting question of county-seat re,

years ago but refused. The feud has
torn asunder friendships of long
standing.
Amy Gustafson, the eight-year-old
daughter of Mrs. Nels Gustafson of
the town of Dovre, near Willmar,
froze to death while walking from her
grandmother's to her mother's home,
distance of about four miles. With
a ten-year-old cousin she had been
staying at the grandmother's home.
The two children started out to ex-
anime traps they had set for small
game and then decided to walk to
Amy's home. After wandering about
for four hours they reached the
home of Henry Carlson, where Amy
collapsed, utterly exhausted and
numbed by the cold. Every effort was
made to revive her, but she died in a
few moments.
Sheriff Albertson of Otter Tail
county has in his hands an execution
to be levied on tombstone in a
cemetery within four miles of Park
er's Prairie, and says he does not
relish the job before him of robbing a
grave. He might be haunted by the
ghost he robs. The tombstone was
sold some time ago by a Crookston
marble company, which brought an
action Tor the purchase price. Judg-
ment was entered and execution is
sued. There is no property for the
sheriff to attach except the tomb
stone. 1t is said the creditors are
willing to take 1856 for the stone, and
Sheriff Albertson says that he will
give the creditors S35 rather than levy
on the tombstone.

Emil Walsten, laborer, had one of
his ears cut off and his right arm
fractured in two places in the Great
Northern yards, Minneapolis, near
the freight depot. He was shoveling
snow from the tracks when a freight
train backed on him. He was thrown
beside the tracks and the wheels took
off an ear. He fell on his right arm.
When picked up by the other workmen
his head lay against one of the rails.
VIM. Krause, freight conductor
on the Northwestern railway, was run
over in Rochester at the Broadway

the upper part of the body. His home
is in Winona and he leaves a wife and

about ten miles to his appointment.

FORGING ANTIQUITIES.
0ven Experts Tricked In Distin-
gushing Real From the Spurious.

gushing Real From the Spurious.
DR.. Oliver Tonks in the Outlook Mag
azine shows the difficulties of distin-
gushing real from spurious antiquities.
Here is one of his anecdotes:
At times the forger is content to take
ancient fragments of ancient vases or
statuettes and complete them with clay
Or plaster of paris. These new cold"
wares he then paints up and passes to
the unsuspecting, and sometimes sus-
pecting, purchaser as real antiques.
The story is told Of forger in Athens
that he protested that when he had fin
'shed Improving" an antique he him
self could not always tell where the
genuine part ceased and the false be-
gan. Under such circumstances it
may not be wondered that at times
even experts are tricked.
The following incident shows how
torgeries turn up in very unexpected
places: One hot day party of us were
tolling up a steep ascent in the island
OF Melos when we saw above us
number Of Greeks seated on parapet
of ruins. We had been cruising long
enough among the Egean islands to
know that these people of the place had
seen our ship drop anchor in the water
below and were now waiting to sell us
antiquities. At the sight of these
Greeks one Of our number, a tireless
Scotchwoman, scrambled ahead of us
to the top, where we could soon see
her, wind blown and outlined against
the blue sky, bargaining for vase.
When we reached the top after more
leisurely climb she put her purchase in
my hands and asked me what thought
of it. My hands were moist with per-
SEPARATION from the exertion Of the climb,
and for answer to her question held
them out to her all blackened from
grasping the vase. The sweat had at
tackled the modern paint with which it
was covered, and by thus coming off
on my hands the color had betrayed it's
falsity. The whole vase had been
patched up from six or seven pieces
and then painted over to conceal the
repairing.

put the question squarely, "What is
your personal reason for not attend

The senator smiled in no-offense-in-

one finds so many hypocrites there"
Returning the smile, the bishop said:

ADJUSTMENTS TO-DAY.
THE TALE OF HOPE.

And where is now my Hope?"
The question sounds as if it might
have been asked several times in Salt
Lake City during the last few days.
The truth is that poor old Job asked

in it's swaddling clothes. Job passed
triumphantly through his Affections,
numerous though they were. We trust
our Salt Lake friends who have lost

Gus proposition. The Herald's tale of
Hope is about finished. Nothing re-
mains to be told except few odds
and ends of his picturesque career. We
think you will agree with US that the
various installments have been rather
interesting reading. Hope is an I'M
usual sort of rascal. He had to be that
% he could not have fooled the keen,

The Herald had no great pleasure in
posing Hope except insofar as the
l-rformance of a duty is always
e-easure. Every newspaper is under
an obligation to the public to expose
rascality wherever it is found and our
exposure has, we believe, been COM

he escapes trial and conviction on a
criminal charge, for a complaint has

The rapid development of the mining
industry in many sections of Nevada
means the building of permanent cities
and towns. 1t means strong and
growing demand for supplies of all
kinds. Idaho. too. is being rapidly de-
veloped, both in the agricultural and
mineral lines. Both states afford a
natural market for Utah products, a
natural field for Utah jobbers and
wholesalers. 1t would be little short
of criminal to let the opportunity get
away. And we do not believe it will
be allowed to slip
Salt Lakes business men are, gen.

simple reminder that they are in dan

enough to spur them to renewed action.

MUST FIGHT FOR TRADE

OrsOn II. Hewlett, president of the
Manufacturers and Merchants asso-
citation, sounded a timely warning in
The Herald of yesterday when he spoke
of the necessity for increased diligence
on the part of local manufacturers and
iobbers if they are to hold the trade
they have in the territory that is nor
mally theirs. Mr. Hewlett declares that
the Salt Lakers have been sleeping
in some respects" and that unless
something is done there is a prospect
OF our losing the large trade which
was coming our way" 1t is greatly
to be hoped that the warning will be
needed
AS Mr.. Hewlett, continuing his re-
marks, said Salt Lake can compete
with Denver and Los Angeles on equal
terms The only question is as to rail-
road rates. An inquiry into this mat
ter should be made at once. If there
is any discrimination against Salt Lake
iobbers and manufacturers they can
not know il too quickly. If, on the
other hand, the railroads are treating
them as we'll as the jobbers and man
ufacturers of the competing cities are
being treated the retention of the pres
ent trade and it's increase rest entirely
with the Salt Lakers interested.
1t is not possible to believe that the
railroads will deliberately discriminate
in favor of Denver and Los Angeles

uNDIcATIoN OF DREYFUs.

After years of suffering such as has
been visited on but few men, Captain
Dreyfus has been completely exonerat-
ed. He is now to be restored to his for
mer rank in the French army and it is
to be supposed that he will be given
his full pay for all the years during
which he was tortured by the army
cabal against him. No money, however,
can requite Dreyfus. Nothing can blot
from his memory the bitter injustice
that was done him and he is more
than human if he ever forgives the men
who were responsible for it.
The history of the Dreyfus case is ia
miliar to the whole world. For no
known reason except that he was, and
is, a Jew, he was falsely accused of
selling French military secrets to
Germany. A secret court-martial tried
him and found him guilty, sentencing
him to public degradation and to soli-
tary confinement for life on Devils ISL
and. This was in 1894. In March. 1895,
he was taken to the island and rigor-
ously confined there. Then, little by
little, the black story came out.
1t developed that Major Esterhazy
was the man who had actually sold
the secrets to the German government.
He it was who plotted so successfully
to fix the crime on Dreyfus. Colonel
Henry, who aided EsterhaZy, confessed
to his part in the plot and committed
suicide. 1t was not until August, 1889,
although the disclosures referred to
were coming out at frequent intervals
after Dreyfus was sent to Devils ISL
and, that a new trial was ordered.
Even then justice was not done.
On the curious plea that the honor of
the nation must be preserved Dreyfus
was again found guilty, but with ex-
tenuating circumstances. and sem
fenced to serve ten years in prison, the
time spent on the island to be deducted
from that sentence. Thus, instead Of
preserving her honor France only add
ed a fresh blot. President Loubet par
doned Dreyfus in December, 1899, but
that was not what the unfortunate
man wanted. He had committed no
crime, therefore he could not be par
doned One is not pardOned for an Of
sense one has had no hand whatever
in.
Justice has been done at last. how
ever though it certainly cannot be said
that France is entitled to any credit
for it, Had it not been for the siren
uous and unwearying efforts of the
friends of Dreyfus he would either be
in chains on Devils island today or
the occupant of an unmarked grave.
Tardy though it is, the vindication is
the most welcome event in the life of
Dreyfus. And France will doubtless be
more than glad to close the record and
bury it far from the light of day.
