\. DAKOTA LEAGUE
IS NOW. AIM OF
Mr.. PRICE
He is Attempting to Line Up
Bismarck, Mandan, Valley
City and Jamestown.

This morning President Price of the
Northern Baseball league rleft Fargo
for Bismarck and Mandan. 1t is un-
derstood that he is preparing second
line of defense If the copper country
goes back on the present plans for
an eight team league. He will en-
deavor totinterest Bismarck and Man
dan in a team as we'll as Valley City
and jamestown. 1t is not definitely
known but it is understood that he
will form North Dakota league with
Duluth and Superior if the copper
country goes back on his present
plans or he may intend to enlarge the
league by adding three new teams to
the present circuit. Whatever his aim,
Mr.. Price is busy at work on the
knotty problem of a Northern Base
ball league this season.
Locally, number of citizens are
in correspondence with E. H. Kent
who will shortly reach home. 1t is
believed by the fans here that when
he gets into the game, there will be
something accomplished. All it needs
here is somebody to shout and others
to stop kicking, and Grand Forks
team will be an accomplished fact.
Grand Forks will get in line when the
time comes if the league holds to-
gether.
1t is believed by some of those most
familiar with the condition m the
league that If the same energy was
expended on the old league which has
been given to the copper country, that
all would be running smoothly. Fargo,
Grand Forks, Winnipeg and Duluth
are considered safe for the league
when the showdown comes. E. H.
Kent's proposition to take 81 900 worth
of stock in the Superior team, insures
team from there and The Evening
Times has positive information that if
Grand Forks goes into baseball this
year, that Crookston will put in
team under the management of Sam
Rosenthal and w. S. Lycan, this in
sures team from Crookston.
Locally there is some talk among
the fans of making W. H. Mcneil
manager under the direction of M.
Stanchfield or James Dinnie or some
other responsible baseball enthusiast.
Mr.. Mcneil is one of the best manag-
ers in the northwest and it is under
stood that he would accept.
All that Grand Forks needs at the
present time is some one to take the
lead and rouse the latent enthusiasm
of the fans. At present the baseball
Lushers are deep in the game of poll
tics but as soon as that is out of the
way, they will go after a team.

TAXES ARE HIGHER.
Board Of County Commissioners Are
Puzzled by G. N. Taxes.

The board of county commissioners
for Grand Forks county are very
much mystified as to the taxes paid by
the Great Northern in Grand Forks
and Ward counties respectively. They
have taken the matter up and will
thoroughly investigate it.
According to the statement made
by County Auditor Anderson in Grand
Forks county the Great Northern has
"a miles of main line, SO miles of
branch lines and 81 miles of side
tracks. In Ward county they have 81
miles of main line, 81 miles of branch
lines and Fl miles OF sidetrack.
The total mileage in Grand Forks
county is 1853 and the taxes paid ag-
gregates $4,000; in Ward county the
mileage in LAG and they pay approx
mately $4,000 in taxes.

talking"
There was unusual excitement at fire
headquarters recently when tho tele-
phone rang and the foregoing words
came over the wire.
The engine was sent, and no team
ever made a quicker run. When the
firemen arrived at 219 Madison avenue,
the home of the multi-millionaire, they
found Mr.. Satterlee in the doorway.
The only sign of fire was a slender
sheet of fame shooting out of the
chimney.
"For heavens sake, do not use any
water" Mr.. Satterlee begged. You
will ruin irreplaceable paintings II you
do. The fire is in the chimney. But
please be quick"
The firemen yielded to Mr.. Satter
lees request, and used hand grenades
instead of the hose They found Po
liceman Daniel Kelleher on the roof.
He had almost extinguished the fire
by throwing salt down the chimney.
The fire caused no damage.

AS old as is civilization, so old is the
history of the beggar kingdom, for
wherever have been found any collec-
| ton of men, the beggars there played
their business despite Indifference and
the scorn of the majority, yet always
| reaping their harvest from the philan-
thropic. The nearer one draws to the
warmer countries more and more nu-
merous one finds the professional beg
gar. Egypt, India and Italy are the
worst examples. In countries which
boast of their higher civilization beg
gary fiourishes not through want or
prlyaton, but through Cidss or ptO-
| pie who make beggary their profes-
| sion and who have made line art of
| the methods of reaching the soft
hearted. And beggars of this class do
not seem to stop ut criminality.
A recent case was noted in press
dispatches OF unusual brutality prac-
ticed by n beggar upon three children
in Austria who had been kidnapped
from their parents. The children told
terrible tale of suffering at the hands
of the beggar who had broken their
legs IN two places ana then tWlsteu
the limbs out of shape, so that in
knitting together the bones would not
set straight. The man sent the chill
dren out to beg for him and their pitt
| ful condition made compa ssionate peo-
pie give large sums because OF their
apparent misery.
Fake Deformities.
While n number of the beggars
! found in large -. .cs are really de-
formed-blind, lame, manned, crippled,
or deaf and dumb. yet it is a known
fact to the police authorities that there
are establishments where idle, worth
less and lazy persons are readily man
ufactured into objects of charity. The
theme of one of the best of the Sher-
lock Holmes stories is wonderfully

Maintenance of a Great Institution

Tho National Soldiers Home in the
District of Columbia is the only insu-
tuition Of its kind in the United States.
The home was founded March 3, 1871.
The ilea of the establishment is said
to have originated with General Win
field scott, after whom the main build
ing of the Home is named, and or
whom there is fine bronze statue in
the grounds. During the occupation OF
Mex GO General Scott exacted sum of
money from that country. The money
was paid to him, and he asked Con-
grcss that it be set aside for the estab-
lishment at washington of home for
disabled enlisted men of the regular
nayy and army. This was done. The
Homo Is maintained by exacting from
every enlisted man and officer u IL
cent from each months pay. Fines
from court martial and money due
desertcrs is turned into this fund. I'M
proyemcnts at the Home are contem-
plated. which call for the expenditure
of over one million dollars. The Home
has on deposit in the Treasury OF the
United States 4 fund of more than two
million dollars. 1t should be borne In
mind that the Government of the
United States does not contribute one
dollar to the support of this great in
tuition.
No women are employed at the
Home excepting those in the corps Of
trained nurses in the Home hospital.
Much of the work at the home, farm
work, dairyins, gardening. road main
tenance, housework, cooking, waiting
nn table, ETC., is done by the inmates,
who are paid for their services out Of
the Home fund.
There are about 1900 veterans In the
Institution. Many Of them are civil
war soldiers, some were disabled in
the West Indies, others in the Philip
pines, some in the Indian campaigns,
and some were discharged from the
service for disability incurred in camp
and garrison. Many of the Home
inmates are mere youths. Every hon

for passing on.
Inspired with this idea Of sending
out remembrances that might be null
tiplied four-fold new set of cards
was given to Mrs. Alden by the Re
corder's staf and these cards were at
once sent out. The thanks received
for them were so pretty that an item
was made of them in the New York
Recorder. This caused further corre-
spondence and resulted in a club for
the exchange of friendly greetings.
The name of Chat" was at first
chosen for the column, but in time the
membership grew SO large that the
mo 60 Good Cheer" was adopted and
in 1886 the name OF the society was
changed to the Sunshine" Society,
and It's active members were to include
all who were desiross of Frightening
life by word, thought or deed.
The growth of the Society has been
almost phenomenal. From the parent
society branches have sprung up until
every State in the Union is represent
ed with regularly enrolled presidents
and organizers.
When a State has ten branches, each
one consisting of at least ten members,
it becomes entitled to a State presi-
dent. Besides the thousands of men,

Quickly Disposed Of

A certain colonel is an authority on
all military matters, and he is often
besieged by cranks with pneumatic
rapid firing guns, rifles, dirigible war
balloons, and other martial inventions.
On one occasion he was sitting in
his private room at the barracks with
friend when a servant brought in a
card.
"Oh, send him in," said NJ. "His
business won't take more than a min
ute or two"
There was shown in a wild-eyed
long-haired man, twisting his soft hat
nervously in both hands.

During the year new administra.

According to last report Of Gen. 81.

were 1901 permanent inmates on June

A Close Corporation Suit.

Following the example OF large cor
porationS which form combines for
mutual protection and profit, there
was recently established in New York
"beggar trust" through the efforts OF
a one-legged youth who had left a
comfortable home to engage dcliber-
ately in begging. His remarkable In
slght into business methods would
probably have reaped him n greater
reward than was derived through beg
Sury. Organizing n community of in
forest among the mendicants of Park
Row, he picked out favorable points
throughout the city TO which We're as

would be placed at one point, n blind
