lUNACY INCREASED
In France, and Legislators
Will Prohibit Sale of
Ahsintho

Paris, Feb. 26-The rapidly in
creasing consumption of alcohol in
France is attracting the serious at
tention Of statesmen, who, following
the example Of Belgian and Swiss
legislators, are devoting earnest eff
forts to restrict the spread of the
evil.
In both chambers important groups
have been formed, whose members
are endeavoring to secure the en-
forcement of existing enactments and
the promotion of fresh legislation
with the view Of limiting the number
OF saloons, of Strengthening the hands
of the authorities so as to improve
their supervision and eventually for
bid the sale Of absinthe as being the
most deleterious Of alcoholic liquors.
1t Is argued that the enormous aug
mentation in the percentage of luna
tics among the population OF recent
years is for the most part due to
drink, and that the habit is, besides,
raving general deteriorating effect
on the nation.
The senators taking part in the agi-
tation are headed by NJ. Charles Du-
puy. and the deputies by M. kibo,.
and these two statesmen have OBJ
tained an assurance from NJ. Clemen-
ceau that the cabinet will strongly
support the movement.
In the course of an interview with
the premier deputation OF the two
groups secured promise that cir
cular would be addressed to the may
ors OF the 10000 communes instruct:
ing them to enforce more strictly the
law of January, 1873. which deals
with the punishment of drunkenness.
An offender is thereby mulcted in
graduated penalties
The premier promised to procure
statistics from all the Warehouses of
France Of the number of inmates
whose lunacy is directly or Indirectly
ascribable to alcoholism, and more
particularly to the absorption of alb
sinthe. These figures, which are like
ly to be formidable, are to be utilized

BODY IN THE RIVER
Valley City Mystery Solved BY
Finding of Remains
of Evans.

Valley City, Feb 27.-The body of
Carl Evans, the driver for Mayor
Wood, who disappeared mysteriously
last October. was found in the river
Monday afternoon. The body was
found at point just west of Mr..
Woods barn. near where the main
sewer empties into the river. and was
discovered by Lorne Richie and Ern-
est Dobbin. who were skating. They
noticed something sticking up from
the ice which at first glance was taken
for rag. but closer look showed
that 1t was a mans hand. The body
was removed from the river and TAX
en- to the undertaking rooms OF the
Valley City Furniture. Co
The discovery OF the body clears up
mystery and makes it plain that
Evans death was clearly accidental.
Evans had been working for Mayor
Woods at his barn and on the evening
OF Oct. IS. was sent out with rig to
take Tom Leine to the Baumez place,
north of the city where the latter was
threshing. The horse and empty bug
gy were found in the rear of the barn
the following morning, but there was
no trace of Evans. His disappearance
was advertised and an attempt made
to find the missing man all of which
We're unsuccessful.
The theory of his death is that after
leaving Mr.. Leine at the Baumez place
Evans concluded to take nap on the
way home. The horse was steady
and reliable one, which if left alone
would make its way to the barn, and
accordingly Evans wrapped himself up
in his coat and robes and went to
sleep. When the horse arrived at the
barn it probably stopped at the front
entrance. After waiting awhile to be
unhitch, the driver being asleep and
no one putting in an appearance, the
horse became uneasy and made its way
around to the rear of the barn. in
doing so it was necessary to travel
along the river bank and at this point
the bank is perhaps twenty feet high
and quite steep. There are build
ings nearby between which and the
river it would be difficult to drive in
daylight, and in getting around them
it is probable that one wheel of the
buggy went over the bank. The ten
dency would be to throw the driver
out and this is undoubtedly what hap
pened. Evans was probably tipped
directly into the river. He had on
heavy fur coat, which was buttoned its
full length; he also had on gloves and
his cap was pulled down over his
ears. He had no chance to save him
self after getting into the river.
The body was discolored by the Wa
ter, but not otherwise greatly disfg-
ured. 1t was fully identified by the
clothing and also by letters and other
papers, among which was an insur-
ance policy for 81, 900 in the Order of
Maccabees.
Mayor Wood has notified Evans
mother who resides in Wisconsin.
Getting busy often takes a hard
: fall out of a fit of the blues.
Many mans popularity is due to
the fact that he isn't aware of If

THE MAN ABOUT TOWN

The following was over heard by
the Man this morning at the corner
of DeMers avenue and Third street.
The speakers were two prominents,
and as soon as The conversation was
over they started for East Grand
Forks.
Who is that ugly old frump?"
The one with the nose glasses?"
Yes"
Think she's ugly?"
She's worse than wart hog"
Gee! l must tell her about that!
She's my mother-in-law"
Why. didn't know Ter"
That's all right, old fel: let's so
and get drink"
With all their faults" said a local
business man to the Man today 1.-The
old extravaganza of the insurance
companies was good for some thing.
The Man was surprised. 1t was the
first time he had heard a good word
for the insurance companies since
the New York investigation.
Yes" continued the L. B. NJ. they
gave away some good blotters.''
My wife has perfect confidence in
ME" said we'll known benedict Mon
day afternoon as he was seated in
pool room putting at a choice Ha-
vana cigar He was surrounded by
about halt a dozen friends, the Man
being one of them.
Yes he continued ''she will take
my word for any thing. When l tell
her that l am going down to the
Office for the evening to work, she
willingly lets me go. condoles with
ME in the fact that must labor
after supper, and then has a nice
lunch waiting for me when I return.
She believes in me in everything"
The Man went away wishing that
he could fool his wife in the same
manner.
The Man, during his daily travels
about the city has many chances of
over hearing conversations, many of
which to say the least are comical.
This morning, as he was walking in
front OF the Northern hotel, young
man quickly knelt to the sidewalk
picking up young lady's glove,
which he had just dropped.
Why did you pick it up in such
hurry" asked the young miss.
Well. he replied, thought that
there might be some thing in it for
me some day."
Then there was the married man
who was discussing with his unmar-
ried friends the foolishness of be-
coming benedict.
Before l was married" he said
Il never saved cent"
"And now?" eagerly asked one OF
the audience.
Now l never have a chance was
the response.
Probably the best one heard was
in the grocery store. Tommy had
been sent to get some sugar, but had
played along the way so long that
he forgot what kind to get and so
purchased pound of granulated.
He was at once sent back to ex-
change it.
Tommy" said the grocer, as he
made the exchange, Il hear you have
a new member in your family"
Yes, sir" replied Tommy, 1--WE
got little brother"
well, how do you like that?"
Don't like it at ALL" said Tommy,
rather have little sister,"
Then why don't you change him."
WELL We would If we could; but
don't suppose We can. You see
we've used him four days"

THE ROTTERDAM DISASTER.

The wreck of the channel steam
ship Berlin, at the mouth OF the river
Mas, leading into Rotterdam, was
as nearly true sea accident as often
happens. The Berlin piled between
Harwich, England, and Rotterdam, on
what is practically ferry service. and
was OF only LIS tons burden. The
North Sea is relatively shallow, and,
under the right strength of wind, is
terror to all small vessels. The Ber-
lin got along all right, so long as she
had sea way, being a well-built and
staunch vessel; but when she turned
into the waterway leading to Rotter-
dam it is probable that the wind and
the waves, working together, struck
her at just the right angle to lift her
and shove her over on the sandbar.
For a moment or two her weight did
not hold her down, or her engines
failed to resist the overwhelming i'm
pact, and the mischief was done. The
grounding was due to an ounce of at
tack by the sea more than man had
calculated for-an extra ounce of at
tack that might not recur at just the
fatal angle in a thousand years, and
which, therefore was outside of even
prudent human estimation.
sub disasters are always possible
under right conditions The sea some
times goes into untamable furies; and
at such times its actual strength has
never been accurately measured by
man, and presumably never can be in
such a manner as absolutely to Sc
cure safety when near the land or
turning corners.
