Co., recently organized at Fargo by
North Dakota business men, is forg-
ing to the front with rapid strides.
The first week of the companys' ex-
istence 100000 worth of insurance
was written by that company, all of
which goes to show that the people
have absolute confidence in the new
company. This company has all the
advantages Of the outside foreign
companies Of its kind; 1t is as we'll

and will follow closely the mortuary

is we'll the people of the state are TAX

that will keep as much money with
in the state as a local insurance COM
pany of this nature, and it is deserv-
ing of the peoples consideration.

violations of the law as other citizens
Hence they should exert their infiu-
ence to see that the laws, are upheld
if they would maintain the respect
with which they are regarded by.
their fellows. 1t is not only ques-
ton of patriotism, but of self-inter-
est which deeply concerns them.
n / am persuaded that the system of
4boycotting by which members of lab
or unions are instructed not to pat
Sronize certain obnoxious business
houses, is not only disapproved by
IAN impartial public sentiment, but
that it does not commend itself to
the more thoughtful and conserva-
tive portion of the guilds themselves.
Every man is free indeed to select
the establishment with which he
wishes to deal and in purchasing from
one in preference to another he is
not violating. justice. But the case
is altered when by a mandate of the
society he is debarred from buying
from a particular firm. Such a pro-
hibition assails the liberty of the pur-
chaser, and the rights of the seller,
and is an unwarrantable invasion of
the commercial privilege guaranteed
by the government to business con-
Germs. II such a social ostracism
were generally in vogue, a process of
retaliation would naturally follow,
the current of mercantile intercourse
would be checked, every center of
population would be divided into hos
tile camps, and the good footing
which ought to prevail in every com
munity would be seriously impaired.
Live and let live is wise maxim,
dictated alike by the law, of trade
and by Christian charity. III
Experience has shown that strikes
are drastic and at best very ques-
ttionable remedy for the redress of
the laborers' grievances. They par.
alyze industry. they often foment
| fierce passions; and above all they re
suit in inflicting grievous injury on
the laborer himself by keeping him
in enforced idleness, during which
time his mind is clouded by diseon-
tent. while brooding over his situa-
ton and his family not infrequently
suffer from the want of the necessar-
les of life The loss inflicted by
strikes on the employers is not much
more than half as great as that
which is sustained by the employed
| who can much less afford to- bear it.
1T would be vast stride in the inter
ests of peace, and of the laborine
classes, If the policy Of arbitration
which is now gaining favor for the
settlement of international quarrels
were also availed for the adjustment
of disput es between capital and lab.
or.@ Many blessings would result
from the adoption of this method
Tor, while strikes, as the names i'm
Iplies. are aggressive and destructive
/ arbitration is conciliatory and con
sttuotive. The result in the former
case is; determined by the weight Of
the purs,t in the latter by the weight
OF the argument.

San Francisco, April 1.-Two sensa-

Prevented Settlement.
RUFF SETS UP A BIG HOWL.
Asks to Be Released From Alleged IT,
local CUSTODY of EIisor.

San Francisco. April 3.-On the eve
of his trial on the charge of extorting
$28 900 from French restaurant keep
ers of this city, which is to begin to-
day before Judge Dunno in the supe-
rior court, Abraham Ruef yesterday
asked the supreme court of California
to free him from the custody of Elisor
Buggy and order him into the charge of
the sheriff, whom Judge june disqual-
flied on the ground of personal inter
est.
Ruef sets up that his Imprisonment
by Elisor Buggy is Illegal; that he is
constantly and infinitely watched by
eight private guards and the court
elisor. all of them bearing firearms,
all of them employed by Rudolph
Spreckels, Francis j. Heney, William
J. Burns, and all of them paid out OF
a private fund of 100000 raised and
guaranteed by Spreckels; hat his in
dictment by the grand jury was insti-
gated and caused by Spreckels, Heney
and Burns; that S%preckels, Heney II
Judge Dunno are his enemies; that so
strict is the espionage maintained over
him by his guards that it is impossible
for him to have privacy, ever in con
v~ersation with his attorneys. The SUI
preme court took no action on the ap-
~plication to-day, not eve issuing an al
tentative writ.

MANY KILLED IN TRAIN WRECK
TRAIN DERAILED AND WRECKED
COACHES ARE HURLED IN
EVERY DIRECTION.

Cotton, Cal, March 80. - A disas-
trous wreck occurred near here yes
terday, when a passenger train ran
into an open switch while going at the
rate of forty miles an hour. Ten or
the fourteen coaches were derailed.
Twenty-six persons are known TO
have been killed and the list will total
much higher than this number.
The injured number about 100, many
Of whom will die.
Smashed Into SpIinters.
The wrecked coaches were hurled
in every direction. Four of them were
smashed into splinters. Most of the
dead were Italians who occupied the
smoker and day coach. The dead were
terribly mangled. The injured were
carried to this city.
But two Americans are known to
have been killed, although several OF
those among the injured will undoubt-
eddy die within a few hours.
Pullman Passengers Escape.
Out OF about eighty Pullman passen-
gers there were but two who sustained
serious injuries. The three Pullman
coaches and the diner, which were on
the rear Of the train, did not leave the
track. The occupants of these cars
we're practically unframed. The Flor
ence Roberts Theatrical company oc-
cupied one coach. which was hurled
from the tracks and both ends OF 1t
crushed in by impact against the 9th
ers. But two members of Miss Rob
erts' company out of a total Of twenty
two people were injured.
No Warning Of Danger.
The derailment of the train was
caused by the crew of a switch engine
leaving a switch open at this point.
There was absolutely nc warning OF
the impending catastrophe. The engl-
heel saw the signal of the open switch
when but a few rods distant from 1t
and had no time to sound even a whis-
tie of warning, much less to reverse
the throttle or set the brakes. he
called to his fireman to jump, and they
both leaped wildly from opposite sides
of the engine.
