CONTEMPT FOR COURTS.

Some real nice people have
critised the wage-worker for ex.
pressing contempt for certain
judges and courts. They have
accused this little paper oi
breeding disrespect for the
courts and encouraging a spirit
Of anarchy. The first charge in
the accusation is quite correct
and we are glad of it. The
last count in the accusation is
false. And if these nice people
want a sample of the nice
things that are making us feel
a contempt for courts, here it
is:
Last week a private soldier
in the regular army, a man
named Baily, was accused of
having stolen a bugle from
Uncle Sans storehouse at
Omaha. Baily was arrested,
taken before Federal Judge
Munger and fined $1,000. Now
we don't object to that partic.
ularly. But
A couple of months ago a
couple of rich cattle barons,
Richards and Comstock, were
brought before this same Judge
Munger, charged with stealing
a tract of government land
thirty-tive miles wide and
seventy-five miles long-a tract
larger than at least two states
i'll the union. They entered a
plea of guilty and were fined
Three hundred dollars each!
But the poor devil who stole
a three-dollar bug]e was fined a
thousand dollars.
And yet some people wonder
why the poor and oppress sed
have lost respect for the courts
and believe there is one kind OF
justice for them and another
kind of justice for, the rich.-

1.-THE LITTLE PRINCESS"

Jhe presentation of the Lit
tie Princess by the Chase
Lister Theater Co.. at the local
playhouse last evening was
without doubt one of the clever
est and brightest performances
ever witnessed in this city.
The company is playing in
Minot for week and if their
initial performance is any crit
erion, the local theater goers
will have the pleasure of wit
Messing some excellent perform
ances. One of the pleasing
features of the play last even
ing were the large number of
up-to-date specialties which
entertained the large audience
between the acts. The moving
pictures and illustrated songs
are the best and were greatly
enjoyed. "a Harmless Flirta-
ton" a one act sketch by Clint
and Bessie Robbins was very
cleverly executed and called
forth prolonged applause from
the audience.
The illustrated songs, "Why
Don't They Play With Me-" and
"I'm Trying So Hard To Forget
YOU" sung by Miss Victoria
Miller were very good. As a
buck and wing dancer, Jack
Krall is one of the best on the
"boards" and his stunt last
evening added to the enjoy
ment of the entertainment.
The Chase-Lister Company
carry large amount of gorge
Gus costumes I'M addition to
several sets of special scenery.
The company is good through
out and the audience last even
ing was more than. pleased

The Release OF Hoyt Hayes.

Columbia, June 24.-About the hap
piest man in Columbia to-day is Hoyt
Hayes, who, after being under the SEN
tence of death, will tomorrow morning
go forth from prison free man. Last
night Governor Hayward told Capt.
Griffith that he might tell Hayes of bis
good fortune and that he would be par.
doned. Capt. Griffith sent for Hayes
and told him of his pardon. Hayes was
naturally very much pleased with the
decision to liberate him. He said that
he now hoped that all who believed he
had killed his wife would appreciate his
innocence. He said that he felt that in
time every one would believe that he
was innocent of the crime for which he
came so near being hanged. He has al
ways stoutly insisted upon his innocence
and seemed to be oyerjoyed at the good
news of his pardon.
The pardon papers could not be coun-
tersigned last night by the Secretary of
State, but it is the intention of Governor
Hayward to have the official pardon re-
corded at the penitentiary early Monday
morning.
Members of Hoyt Hayes's family will
be here to 20 with him to the upper part
of the State. Hayes is in good health
and expects to get to work at once. He
will probably 90 into cotton factory as
a laborer.

week, to visit the county school for
teachers. This school is under the able
management of three of the best in
formed teachers in the county, and will
prove benefit to all who can attend.
Prof. Nicholson's efficiency as mathe-
matioian is surpassed by none, being
able to solve and explain a problem so
plainly that even child with ordinary

is ind I'd fortunate in s. uring his SER
vices for another year. Mr.. Bowen, the
professor OF English is tho right man in
the right place, having been bred in the
North, where our language has not been
corrupted by the demoralizing effects Of
slavery. Miss Steck's reputation is of
long standing, and long may she wave
her banner of influence over the aspir-
ing young minds of Walhalla. We were
very favorably impressed with the teach
ers who are attending this school, some
of whom we could heartily recommend
to any school in the county. We feel
greatly interested in the work of educa-
tion, and bid Godspeed to all in their
efforts to higher intellectual attainmepts,
and feel personally benefited by our
short attendance upon tho summer
school. E.ED.

The Pardon Of Hoyt Hayes.

Governor Hayward has pardoned Hoyt
Hayes, the white man who was convicted
of numbering his wife and whose death
sentence was, about a year ago, COM
muted by the Governor. When the
Governor commuted the sentence he was
severely and generally criticised. We
did not pass judgment on the case until
after reading every word of testimony
offered at the trial and that testimony
will, we thin' convince any unbiased
person that Fl; yes guilt was unproven.
Since then tw o noted experts in hand
writing, one G. osen by the Governor and
one by the Solicitor, have unaualifiedly
sustained the defense. The verdict was
based, on the allegation that Hayes
forged the note bearing his wife's sigma
ture and Indicating her purpose to com
init suicide. There is nothing to sustain
that contention. 1t has been remark
able case. Juries have freed 70 many
murderers, yet this man was convicted
OF the marder Of his wife on the supposi-
ton that he forged note when the evil
dence was against the forgery theory and
no motive was ever assigned. State,
