The application of Vincent st. John for
writ of habeas corpus was taken under
advisement.
| Later the supreme court denied the ap-
plication for writ of habeas corpus in
the case of Meyer, Haywood and Petit

custody of the sheriff of Canyon county.
At the request of the prisoners the place
of their confinement will be changed from

COUNSEL RETAINED
FOR INVESTIGATION
First Steps Are Taken In Proposed
Investigation Into Affairs of the
Eastern Coal Carriers.

Washington March 12-The interstate
commerce commission has taken prelimi-
nary steps toward compliance with the
TiIlman- Gillespie resolution adopted by
Congress directing the commission to
make an inquiry into alleged restraints
of certain railroads in the handling Of
coal and oil The first step taken was
the selection of special counsel in the
Investigations and today the commission
announced that Edward b. Whitney of
New York and William A. Glasgow. Jr.,
of Philadelphia. had been retained as
such counsel. While some Of the hear
ings will be held here, 1t probably will be
necessary to conduct hearings In other
cities. The inquiry will be directed to-
ward traffic to tidewater and to the in
terror as well, hence the hearings will
cover the east and the middle west But
the details and other matters are to be
worked out, although they have received
attention in a general way.
just how long 1t will take to conclude
the investigation and to obtain all the
facts called for by the resolution is prob
lematical.
Mr.. Whitney is a Yale graduate and
classniate of Secretary Taft and has been
a member of the New York state bar
since 1880 He was assistant attorney
general of the United States to Attorneys
General Olney, Harmon and McKenna
from 1898 to 1897 and has taken part
in the arguments in the supreme court
in cases coming under the Interstate COM
merce law, as well as the income tax
and other cases.
Mr.. Glasgow has been counsel for the
commission In cases in the supreme court.
Both the attorneys selected for the con-
duct OF the inquiry were in conference
today with Chairman Knapp of the COM
mission.

trations. The railroad companies resisted
the levy as contrary to the territorial
laws. The effect of today's action is 10

It would take many columns to give
anything like a comprehensive ac-
count Of the political career of Abra-
ham Lincoln. It was almost newt
able that a man of his force of char
acter, his patriotism and his interest
in the welfare of the nation should
drift into politics. We find him run
ming as a candidate for the State AS
sembly Of Illinois in 1892 and suffering
a defeat that did not depress him in
the least; it was after this defeat that
he and a partner bought the store in
New. Salem. In 1884, Lincoln again
announced himself as a candidate for
the State Assembly, and there are old
men in Illinois who like to tell of the
queer but forceful speeches they heard
him make as he rode about the coun-
try electioneering for himself. He did
so with triumphant results this time,
for ne was elected, and for eight
years he was a member of the State
Assembly Of Illinois.
Then his friends sought to have him
become a candidate for governor, but
this honor he refused because he had
his eye on a seat in Congress and to
Congress he went in the year 1847,
after having been defeated as a can.

NEED NO LID At GRAND FORKS

...#.m f.. -- .a.
Refreshments { obtainabIe in Town
"Across the Red.'
Grand Forks has no lid. This is not
because Grand Forks is not modish,
but there is no need of a lid. There
are 40 saloons to regulate, and early
closing would only affect the mercan-
tile establishments, the hotels and the
billiard halls.
A thorough search might unearth a
few poker games, but they are of the
quiet kind, patronized largely by &C
quaintances, and they have never been
disturbed.
The liquid refreshments of the city
are obtained from East Grand Forks,
Just across the Red river and a lid on
in that city might be the means of
raising just as strong a protest, or
stronger, in Grand Forks than in East
Grand Forks. The Dakotans take their
flyers in Minnesota ands come back In
the morning or whenever, they get
ready and there is no objection on the
part of the city across the Red. The
city was built after the enactment Of
the prohibition law in North Dakota,
or largely so. and this is expected.
Just now the lid is on the gambling
section in East Grand Forks, but this
is described as just temporary and in
cident t. a change in municipal admin
istration. East Grand Forks furnishes
all the advertisement needed by Grand
Forks, and that explains why Grand
Forks has no lid and has never had
one @ III. .. ...

NEWS Or THE STATE.
A MIX The CODES.

indian Divorce by Desertion Not
Held.
An Indian case of more than usual
interest has just been decided In the
ounty court at New Rockford. The
case involved the question OF descent
and the right to inherit the estate OF
Esther Oyesna, deceased. The father
Of the woman contested the right OF
|Hakakaduta, claiming to be the wom-
ans husband, to inherit her estate.
The evidence showed that Hakaka-
duta in 1880 married. according to the
rites of the church, a woman who four
years afterwards deserted him and lied
to Canada. In 1890 and 1891 allot-
ments were made under the Dawes
act to Indians of the Devils Lake
Sioux reservation. to which Hakaka-
duta belonged. In the fall of 1891,
without securing a divorce, Hakaka-
duta married Esther Oyesna, the cere-
mony being performed by a Presbyte-
rian missionary.
The contention of Hakakaduta was
chat Notwithstanding the fact that the
acceptance of land in severalty consti-
tuted a severance of the tribal rela-
tons, and brought the Indian under
the state civil and criminal laws. he
could, by reason of the desertion OF
his first wife, fall back on the Indian
custom Of divorce and marry again
without formal divorce proceedings.
The court decided against him, how,
ever, holding that the case could not
be judged from both the Indian and
the civilized standpoint at the same
time. but that either one of the other
tests must be applied. Inasmuch as
Eakakaduta had complied with the
civilized usages in the matter of his
marriage, and further had complied
with. the terms Of the Dawes act, he
had, in fact. severed his tribal rela'
tons, and that therefore his marriage
to Esther Oyesna vas void. A notice
of appeal has been given.

PRAISES SIOUX INDIANS.
Rev. A. Meg. Bede Says They Are
Moral Equals Of the Whites.


Moral Equals of the Whites.
Morally, the Sioux Indians are the
equal. even the superior, of the whites.
This is the assertion of Rev. A. MEG.
Bede of Rolla, N. D., who has charge
of the religious work Of the Episcopal
church among the Sioux Indians Of the
Standing Rock agency in North Da-
kota and Of the missionary work
among the Chippewa Indians Of the
Turtle mountains.
"The Sioux with whom I have come
in contact" says Mr.. Bede, care
harder to subdue and are Of firmer,
better stuff than the Chippewa. They
resist the vices of the whites better.
They shun intemperance. If n Of
their number gets intoxicated he is
looked down upon for some time by
the rest of the tribe. . =
"The Sioux women exert a good in
hucnce over the braves. In some in
stances the women are the physical
superiors of their husbands. and in a
number Of instances have been known
to chastise men who refused to do
their share of the work."

Fargo's Y. NJ. C.. A. Seeks to Raise
Fund for New Building.
The committees of the Fargo Y. M.
C. A. are doing some lively hustling
these days to raise the balance of the
$50. 900 needed for the new building
by the end of this month. The first
$780, 900 was raised last year with little
difficulty. and the canvass was prac-
tically dropped till just before the
holidays, when the young men of the
city raised about $4,000 when the main
committees began their canvass. The
total subscriptions now amount to
about S41. 900.
Fargoans are more afraid of the, Red
river water now than. formerly, as ty-
phoid is reported at Wahpeton. The
fact that the. Wahpeton sewers empty
into the Red river, from which Fargo
and Moorhead get their city water
supply, is what causes the uneasiness.
At present the stream is frozen over
to almost half it's depth, and this
leaves it little more than a covered
ditch. Chances for publication under
the circumstances are not good. It is
only ffty-four miles by air line to
| Wahpeton, though a much greater dis
lance by the river. Those who do not
use, artesian or spring water are. boil

In commemorating the birthday Of
Abraham Lincoln the American peo-
pie pay a just tribute to a very great
man, but the observance has a far
deeper significance than this implies.
With every recurrence of the anni>
versary there should be a fresh ms
spiration for his ccuntrymen both in
what Lincoln did and in what he
said. His deeds lifted him above all
his contemporaries, his words set
forth the enduring principles of free
government t which we must return
again and again as our society, be-
comes more complex and our national
problems increase and expand.
When we dwell upon the achieve
ments of the army at Gettysburg in
what was perhaps the mostly truly
eloquent speech OF which there is a
record IN history he erred only
in declaring: The world will little
note, nor long remember. what we say
