PONper1sn1 and Crime.

AT THE meeting of the Minnesota Board of
Charities and Correction, recently held at Fergus
Falls, series of papers were read on "Pauperism
and Crime" Undoubtedly the subject was gone in
to exhaustively, paupersm and crime two
elements which effect every state in the Union.
It is not the aim of the state to pamper the
to encourage the other but rather to make the former
selfsustaining and the latter law-abidng To bring
about this result, many methods have been proposed,
some rejected and put into practical opera
ton.
Abroad the idea is gaining root that to achieve
the best results in keeping down the criminal popu-
lation, can only be obtained by keeping men out of
jails and prisons. To this end they have enacted
what is known as the 6rst offenders act' law sim.
liar to the probation system in this country. In
connection with the first offenders act, note the
following in speaking of the beneficial results: Hun
dreds of thousands of offenders have been prevented
been the happier: weak humanity has been strength
ened character has been developed and that mass Of
SORROW misery and poverty, that is generally associ-
ated with those whose friends or supporters are in
prison, has been prevented"
Many persons will imagine that this procedure
does not inspire respect for the law, that it is d-
luted sort of justice totally out of harmony with
time-honored traditions. However if the young Of
fender can be kept from becoming lifelong GRIM
inal by such method traditions should be swept
aside as of little consequence. Results more
necessary than is the observance of obsolete ira
ditions.

THE ANNIHILATION OF DIS
LANCE.

How much nearer to each other the
nations of the world are today than they
were a few decades ago! When weeks
and months were required to get news
from across the ocean the old world
seemed t be a long way off. Now the
whole earth is belted with telegraph and
cable lines, and yesterdays happenings
in Europe, Asia, Africa, South America,
Australia and the islands of the sea are
read at this mornings breakfast table.
Distance is annihilated and the nations
are becoming friendly neighbors in con-
sequence. The marvellous change is
brought home to the mind most strikingly
upon reading a great modern newspaper
whose Geographic news covers the whole
world each day-a paper such as The
Chicago Record-Herald. which has a
veritable army of correspondents in
every important city. In addition to its
own staff of correspondents The Record
Herald has the benefit Of the foreign
news service of the New York Herald,
famous for its worldwide cable system
and for the reliability of its foreign news;
also that of the New York World and
the New York Journal of Commerce,
besides that great cooperative news
gathering organization, the Associated
Press.

w. B. Howe recently contracted for
the purchase of 600 2-year old ewes at
s4.5o, and 700 lambs at 1895. The
wool from his original bands Of sheep
sold at 70 to 23Hc. and he believes that
good sheep are good property at prices
quoted above.
The H T people shipped as cars, or
1000 head of horses, to St. Louis this
week. Another shipment will be made
about the 7oth, it being the plan to
gather all the horses of the H T and
Spear brands running on the range out

The balance OF the F. o. Barber wool
from Midland, Mont. was expected in
this week, also the Empire Sheep Co.
clip of 10000 pounds from the Grand
river country. The Barber wool sold at
about 2oc., averaging from 7 to 8 lbs. to
the fleece. Mr.. BARRIERS wool money
this year amounts to about $4,000 and
he figures his lamb crop at $4,000.
w. w. Phipps has sold 122 head Of
high grade Shorthorn cattle, including
calves, to R. H. Coe for a lump sum OF

stock such as is raised at the Phipps
ranch northwest of Dickinson. Mr.,
Phipps sold his sheep last fall and is
selling out all of his horses and cattle
this season and is also offering his fine
land and improvements for sale.
Up to Tuesday morning the wool
baled and shipped from Dickinson
amounted to 10000 pounds. with
over 10000 pounds in two clips to come
in, and probably enough to bring the
figure nearly up to a million and a half
pounds. This is a little short OF the
amount marketed here last season.
The growers have received good prices,
ranging between 20 and 23Kc. and are
we'll satisfied. So far as known the
highest price. 23Mc. was paid to c. c.
and ]. F. Mead. The next best, 23Mc.,
was paid to J. A. Belden. Very little
wool was consigned this year.

SUSPICIOUS PIRDcAGEs.

SEATTLE, Sept. 7.-Several Chinese
debarked from the steamship Mime
sofa yesterday carrying bird cages.
rhe cages were partially wrapped with
paper but not so completely covered
as to prevent Customs Inspector A. Nc
Lean from seeing they were occupied
by yellow canaries.
After two or three of the Chinese had
successfully passed the inspector. the
second carpenter of the ship and the
second bosn, both Chinese, came
along with bird cages completely wrap
ped in paper They had almost reach
ed the electric car before the inspector.
whose curiosity was aroused by the
unusually heavy influx of birds, over
took them and asked what was inside
the cages.
Canary bird" said the man.
Let's have a look" said Mclean.
He tore off the paper wrappings and
found the cages stuffed with silks. The
Chinese submitted to arrest as impas-
sively as they had played the whole
game
A search of their bodies disclosed
the fact that both men were wrapped
in layers of costly silks. Kimonas,
caps, scarfs, and bolt silk were found
in the collection. The men win have a
hearing before a United States COM
missioner in few days.
