ness in North Dakota do not intend
tamely to submit to the confiscation
of liquor in their possession. There
have been two seizures to date, one
at Minnewaukon and one at Churches
Ferry, both having been made under
the statute adopted by the legislature
empowering peace officers to confis-
cate liquor brought into the state for
illegal sale.
The beer is shipped into the state
with charges collect. The law pro-
vides that the express companys
charges are lien ON the property
until such time as they are paid. So
when the liquor is in the warehouse
with the charges unpaid, the company
has q lien on it. At Minnewaukon
and Churches Ferry the property was
taken from the warehouse while the
charges were still unpaid.
The express companies threaten to
bring suit for damages against the
peace officers who made the seizures

O'Clock in the cupola Of grain eleva-
tor at Omemce. threatened for time
To destroy the entire town. The citi-

hut found that the fire had gained
such Roadway that it was useless to
attempt to save the building in which
it started. They devoted their efforts
ID saving the st. Anthony & Dakota
elevator, which was located near the
one in which the fire started.
Huge cinders and burning embers
were carried about the town, setting
fro to buildings in the business dis
trict. and requiring constant vigilance
"n the part Of the fire fighters to pre-
vent the flames from spreading. Sew
'ral times the. St. Anthony & Dakota
elevator took nre, but the volunteer
:iren'en always managed to subdue
the flames before they reached
dangerous proportions. The fight was
continued until 6 a. NJ. by which time
the elevator was entirely desrayed
and danger of further spread of the
flames was passed.
The burned elevator was owned by
the Heis:ng company and contained
$4,000 bushels of wheat The loss is
estimated at $4,000, fully covered by
insurance. The origin of the fire is
unknown.

WHAT rs CHARLEY SCRWAB?

Much wrath has been engendered and much steam blown off by our
contemporaries from Reno to Rhyohte, from Eko to Ely, because Charles
Schwab go. full of barre-house booze in San Francisco the other day
and lost his suspenders.
From one point of view they are hardly to blame, and yet, if the Oft
repeated injunction to consider the source is worthy of heed, they
have been guilty of gieyous waste of time and talk. For Schwab is a
man, and the average Pittsburg mar is hair hog and half dog.
From which side of his ancestry he inherHs his canine attributes it Is
not necessary to mention; deeency has her claims.
When the Biblical character inquired, Can aught that is good come
out of NAZARETH" he was forestalling a question of the twentieth cen
fury, Can anything good come out of Piusburg?" And the answer to
the latter question is No in letters a yard wide and a mile high.
Whenever you read of a particularly foul scandal in high life, look
for the date-ine, and nine times out of ten you will find the word
'Pittsbnrg.". Then open the transom and the windows, put the paper in
the fire with a tongs, and hoIler for chloride of lime. Thus you may
avoid sewer-gas asphyxauon.
Pittsburg is become so tough and 81 bad that her best citizens, men
like Harry Thaw and William E. Corey, spend as much time as they
can away from there, and it is rumored that Hartie will move, too, if he
can get a divorce.
The business atmosphere is the same IS the social-equally rotten.
The Athenians used to say All Cretans are liars" In these days the
people of the Atlantic seaboard waste no time telling what the Pitts
burgers are. If a man is superlatiyely incapable of telling the truth, they
do not stop to inquire where he is from; they know, and they announce
that knowledge in the phrase, He is a Pittsburgh"
Charley Schwab is a Pittsburger-Reno Reveille
