Unsuccessful, But $50 Worth of
Goods Was Secured.

The burglars are busy again, and
one night this week a bold burglary
was successfully perpetrated at the
Apple grocery, 723 Third avenue, the
burglars, of whom there appears TO
have been two, securing about Sl-oo'
and clothing and other articles valued
at about $40. The thieves evidently
made an effort to break down the rear
door. and finding this impossible. tried
To- pry open several Of the windows
One of the windows at the rear OF the
building. facing the street, was finally
smashed. half of the window removed,
two iron bars broken, and entrance
gained in this manner.
Long ut the job.
From the appearance of the store in
the morning. the burglars took their
leisure in the work, for about the floor
were half a hundred or more burned
matches. innumerable cigaret stubs,
and evidences of the men having ran
sacked a great many shoe boxes in
the search of n certain size. In the
shoe department two pairs were taken,
one of size 10 and the other 515. The
cash register had been hammered and
battered about. but the effort TO break
it open was unsuccessful. Two gum
dispensing machines were broken into.
and about $3.50 in cash secured from
these. a file and handkerchief were
left lying on the floor. The cigar case
had been opened and a quantity of
cigars taken. 1t is judged that the
burglars were in the store something
over an hour.

scented to act.

Dangers of a Cold and How to Avoid
Them.

More fatalities have their origin in
or result from a cold than from any
other cause. This fact should make
people more careful as there is no
danger whatever from n cold when it is
properly treated in the beginning. For
many years Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy has been recognized as the mos;
prompt and effectual medicine in use
for this disease. 1t acts on natures
plan. loosens the cough, relieves the
lungs. opens the secretions and aids
nature in restoring the system to 9
healthy condition. Sold by all leading
druggists.

Final Set of Drawings.


A candidate for the royal engineers
some years ago was told by his in
structor to draw up the plans and spec
iications for railway yiaduct to con
meet two high hills, between which
ran small stream. Il,
In due course an excellent set of
drawings was presented, one showing
the bridge in it's completion, with a
sketch Of the surroundings, and on
which sat two men, with their legs
hanging over the side, fishing The
drawing was returned with the request
that the men be removed from the
bridge. Ii :s W.
Upon receiving the paper the second
time the professor discovered that his
instructions had been carried out, but
that the two men were seated on the
bank Of the stream still In quest OF
representatives Of the fnny tribe.
Again was the paper returned, and
this time with positive orders to re
move the men from the drawing alto

Sandy and the Mare.

A Scottish paper tells a story Of San.

had been spending an hour or, two. isis
the evening with a friend couple, OF
miles away. 1t was a nooniigh night,
and Sandy, after partalSing freely OF,
his friends hospitality, was riding
quietly home across the sheep pastures
on his s.guid aud mare when they;
came to an open ditch, which his mare,
refused to cross.
..Hoot ava, Maggie" said the rider
'sthis Wilma dae. Ye maun jist gang

He turned back about 100, yards,
wheeled round and gave the mare q
touch OF his whip. On she went at a
brisk canter, but as they reached the
edge of the ditch she stopped dead and
shot Sandy clean over to the other
side.

opinion from the supreme court to
definitely settle this case
3 If the supreme court sustains the
lower court it will undoubtedly be
a difficult matter to bring another
attack against this law. The drain law
has been tested before the district
and supreme court and in every in
stance the actions and proceedings
OF the drain commission of the val
ley eounties have been held valid.
Farmers have become aggravated
because of the assessments placed
against their land, and in every in.
stance where they have rushed into
courts for relief they have been
defeated, and in addition to their
assessments for benefits they have
had court costs to pay.
This last decision gives reason tc
believe that the drain law is fault
less. The valley counties require i
system of drainage and if the sys
tenn is Ito he established under {
state law it almost seems that the
Legislature cannot make much nm
proFement in the present statute
pertaining to drains.

IN age Pollock mas filed a decision
! In a case of Trail county origin.
which valididates the North Dakota,
drain law and upholds its constitu-

county had resorted to the district
court to restrain the drain commits
sion from constructing a drain that
had been ordered by the board
claiming that the drain commission,
which is an appointiye body, did not
have power to levy assessments from
which there is no appeal. Ex-Judge
Engerud, the attorney for the farm
ers, raised this point and it was
recognized as difficult question to
decide. Attorneys J F. Selby and
States Attorney Kaldor for the
board, made a demurrer to the com
