THE GOORALS OF POLAND.



The character of the goorais has
nothing In common with the humble
peasants OF the low country. In their
good qualities and faults they rather
resemble the proud noblemen of Po-
land. Thes are Siyacious, honest, hos
pitable and full of pride, bravery and
chiyalry, on which Que may always
count But their defects are grave.
Obstinacy and quarrels lead them Of
ten to bloody fights, the lack of thrift
is frequent among them and supersti-
lions haunt them at every step. They
love nature and in their songs praise
their gigantic peaks, spruce forests
and the clouds and rain. They build
their houses facing Tatra, which they
constantly observe and consult about
weather conditions. A gooral cannot
live without his mountains, and II he
sometimes leaves them inconsistencies
Will soon bring him back.
They are very religious, but their
Christian faith Is mixed with old SUI
perstitions, and the Roman Catholic
rites are mingled with weird, often
very picturesque, usages which have
their origin IN the old Slavonic pagan
ism. SO, for instance on st. Johns
night Sobotka is celebrated by burning
bonfires ON FIELDS and hills and by
dancing, festiyity which In pagan
times was held on the summer solstice
in honor of Sviatovit. the god of sun,
fire and love.
On Easter holidays from every house
various kinds of food are brought into
the church to be blessed by the priest,
or the priest, accompanied by sexton,
goes to the house, where on long,
white covered table cake, eggs and
venison await his blessing. This is
called swocone. The table remains
covered with food for week to await
all friends Of the house that may
come
The Polish tongue among the noun
taineers has pleasant, soft infections
and their dialect resembles the old Pc
lish Of the fifteenth or sixteenth cen
fury. The picturesque and practical
costume Of the goorals consists of a
coarse linen shirt fastened with brass
brooch; a serdak, which is sleeveless
sheepskin jacket of a reddish color
richly decorated with applique orna-
ments Of colored leather and silk EN-
broidery and lined with fur; tight fit
ting trousers of coarse whitish, home

Platteville journal.
Last Wednesday, horse belonging
to Williams & Beckwith, fell down into
John Webb's barber shop. 1t had been
left standing on Main street but some
thing frightened it and it ran onto the
cement walk in front of Kemler's store
1t slipped on the smooth walk and slid
down the steps, leading to the barber
shop below. 1t was surprising that the
horse was not killed or badly injured,
but beyond few slight scratches, it
was not hurt at all. The comical part of
the accident was that the horse had to
be lead through the barber shop and out
the back door, in order to regain the
street.

In our Almanac for many years past we
have given unusual advice to those Attic
ted with coughs, colds, throat or lung
troubles or consumption. We have told
them if they did not receive any special
benefit after the use of one 75-cent size
bottle of German Syrup, to consult their
doctor. We did not ask them or urge
them to use large number of bottles, as
is the case in the advertising of many
other remedies. Our confidence in Ger
man Syrup makes it possible for us to
give such advice. We know by the ex-
perience of over IS years that one 75-cent
bottle of German Syrup will speedily re-
lieve or cure the worst coughs, colds,
bronchial or lung troubles-and that,
even in bad cases of consumption, one
large bottle of German Syrup will work
wonders. New trial bottles, 25c.; reg
ular size, 75c. At all druggists.

splR11WooD COIN SPIRITED away
Cracksn,en Blew Safe In General Store
and Escape With $3.50.

The general store at Spiritwood was
burglarized few night ago, two men
being engaged in the operation. They
broke in the back door by boring holes
in the door and christening the lock.
They then drilled into the safe in the
store, and inserted a heavy charge of
powder and dynamite and blew open
the safe door. They secured about $50
in silver and the remainder in currency
to the amount of about $40. They took
one check. an asylum check for pro-
duce, payment on which has been
stopped. A number of other checks
were in the safe which were not TAX
en-. The burglars made their escape,
and so far no clue has been found of
them. The drill they used on the
safe they stole from blacksmith
shop in the town. Two freight trains
were standing in the yards at the
time and it is supposed that the men
went east by the usual hobo route.
The rapidity with which they worked
is seen in the fact that the Clamp
family slept over head on the second
story and before they could get down
to the lower floor, after being awak-
ened, the burglars had looted the safe
and departed. The store was filled

FORMER RESIDENT BROKE SPINE
John Murphy, Bridge Foreman on
Montana Central Is Recovering
From Accident.

But little short OF miraculous has
been the recovery of John E. Murphy,
the Montana Central bridge foreman
whose back was broken in a fall from

which he was riding. His accident be-
Ing unobserved, no attention was paid
to the matter until the train stopped
at the next station, when his absence
was noted and some of the train crew
went back on a handcar looking for
him, finally discovering him lying
upon the side of the track in a help
less condition. He was still conscious,
although having lain in the hot sun
for couple of hours, but was soon
placed upon an engine and brought to
oiOoI i dhS, " NC IdhcU u TIE QOSplCal.
There 1t was found that his spine was
broken and the lower part of his body
paralyzed.
An operation was performed in
which the broken vertebrae was re-
moved and the injured man was given
every attention, although no hopes
were entertained that he would ever
recover.
Since that time he has been slowly
but surely gaining in strength, until
yesterday it was found that he was
strong enough to sit up and did spend
a portion of the day in chair. The
hospital attendants expect that he will
soon be able to be moved downstairs
and that it will be only matter of
time until he shall be able to be re-
moved to his home.
Mr.. Murphy is still paralyzed and
has no use Of his lower limbs.

ARE PREPARING FOR FARGO TERN
United States Marshals Are Kept Busy
Serving Papers.

Having the entire state to cover, in
serving papers, the United States mar
shal's Office is very busy place. 1t
was but recently decided to hold the
September session of the United States
court, which will open Sept. 25 in
Fargo.
There has been nothing given out as
vet that would indicate that the ses-
sion will be featured in any manner
If there is anything sensational it has
yet to be sprung.
There are some of the cases that
will occupy the attention of the court
that were left over from the last ses-
sion, which convened about six weeks
ago.
1t is probable that perjury cases,
which are the result of indictments
returned by the last United States
grand jury, will come up for trial.
There have already been several ar
rests for perjury and subordination of
perjury. They will come in making
proof on claims secured from the gov
eminent. The affidayits made for the
final proof are alleged to be false in
referring to Improvements supposed
to have been made. Besides the land
Chalmers there are also many witnesses
as we'll that are held for trial at this
term of court. 1t is this class of cases
that will furnish the greater part of
the work.
There are several Indian cases that
will probably come up at this term,
including those against Joseph Bristol,
Drags Wolf and Others

marshals are busy getting things in
shape for the coming term. and the
amount they are transacting is i'm

without due process of law, Is a Judi
cial power and cannot be taken away
from the courts. 1t seems to me
much confusion has arisen in the dis.
cussiOns on this subject by not keeping
clearly in mind the demarkation be-
tween the powers of these two
branches of the government. Con-
gress has power to pass q law fixing
rates to be charged by railway COM
pany in the future, which is no more
than laying down a rule of action for
future guidance The court has power
to declare the law unconstitutional il
the rates are SO low as to deny the
railroad reasonable earnings and
amounts to taking private property
without due process of law.
at is the duty of the courts to carry
out and enforce the orders and regu-
lations of the commission, unless they
invade property rights. Railroad prop
erty and all property invested in such
public utilities. can only be worth what
it will earn to its shareholders. 1t is
as much an injustice to
deny the stakeholder any part of a
reasonable earning, as it is to deny
him any earnings whatever. 1t is
therefore, judicial question when
the commission has fixed a rate or
schedule of rates for railroads to
charge, whether those rates give to the
stakeholder reasonable return upon
their capital"

at the opera house, the visiting attor-
neys repaired to the Elk's hall in the

rendered a reception which was fol-

cARELEssNess N MAILING PosIAls
Scores Of Pretty Postals Find Their
Way to the Dead Letter Office
Each Month.

From dozen to twenty postal
cards, or post cards are mailed each
week that find their way only to the
Dead Letter Office. said one of the
mailing clerks at the Grand Forks
postoffice yesterday. "The cards are
some of them mailed entirely with
out address, in fact most of them
are sent to Washington On the other
side will be the writing, with the
signature, first name or initials. It
may be meant for Father" or Moth
err" or Ann" or Jennie" or some one
else, nothing anywhere on which to
tie to. card with photographs on
some times can be traced. 1t is not
uncommon for letters to be mailed
with only stamp on perfectly white
field. but post cards certainly are far
in the lead The writer's must be
dreaming over their message or the
picture or the joke, or something, and
when they get through, think that they
had put on the address. A great many
are mailed without postage, but in
these cases. if the address is there,
the person the card is intended for is
invited to contribute the postage I'M
portant messages are frequntly on
these cards that no one. not even the
expert in Washington. can tell for
whom they are intended or who was
the writer. And If the persons who
mailed the blank cards were told
about it they would hardly believe
1t unless the cards were there to show
for themselves. Mistakes charged up
to the postal service are nealy al
ways the fault of the people sending
mail matter. A card this week is
going to the dead letter office. with
the faces of seven young people on
it, with the first name of each writ
ten thereon. and yet no one in the
office can tell who mailed it or where
1t is meant for. 1t is signed by
Bessie" and Bessie forgot to put the
address on, although she properly
