HAS REAL GRIEVANCE.
Prisoner Suffers Inconvenience in an
Indian Jail.

A prisoner in Rampore Boalla jail
has clear grievance against the gov
eminent. There are certain incon-
veniences inseparable from prison life
which all reasonable criminals more
or less unwillingly accept but the
most complaisant draw the line at be-
ing marked down and clawed by
leopardess in the seclusion of the
prison yard. The animal seems TO
have been inspired by a suffragette-
like curiosity as to the inside of
prison, and having got in by the high
ly irregular method of leaping the
wall she ensconced herself among the
low brick piers on which the old bar
racks are raised from the ground. In
the early afternoon she espied a pris-
oner in the yard clearing up, and, like
the 'impulsive creature she is, prompt
ly leaped upon him, striking him to
the ground and clawing his back.
Then, With the fickleness of her sex,
she suddenly changed her mind, and
in an access of shyness ran away and
hid herself among the brick pillars.
Now Col. r. r. Weir, inspector general
of prisons, happened TO be in the vii
lage, and 10 him the incident was re-
ported. Though it cannot be said that
the duties of an inspector general of
prisons included the destruction Of
vermin Col Weir did not stop to con-
slider technioalities, but borrowed a
rife After some difficulty in getting
within striking distance of the in
truder as she lay in her fastness, he
succeeded in planting his first shot
behind her shoulder, after which
h1thing remained TO be done but to
drag off the carcass and record it's
tape measurements as more than
seven feet.-London Daily Telegraph.

Among the Worst City Noises.

All American cities are afflicted
with too many noises, most of them
wholly unnecessary, and in the opin-
ion of scientists this is the cause of
many of the nervous disorders which
are characteristic Of the nation. None,
however, is so useless and annoying
as the raucous yelling of the street
peddlers who drive their carts at a
snail's pace through the residence
districts, shouting at the top of their
voices from morning until night. The
practice is offensive enough to well
persons who have enjoyed a nights
rest, but TO the sick and to night
workers who are compelled to sleep in
the daytime it is an intolerable hard
ship from which they have a right TO
be protected by law.-Kansas City

FREAK EUROPEAN PAPERS
Plans TO Win Readers Failed to Pro
long Their Lives.

A French magazine writer who has
been looking into the subject of freak
newspapers thinks that one of the
most remarkable of these was the
Luminaria. published i'm Madrid. The
ink with which il was printed contain
ed a small percentage of PHOSPHORUS,
so that the letters were visible and the
paper could be read i'm the dark
Next after this he finds remarka-
bic the case Of the Regal, printed with
an ink guaranteed nonpoisonous on
thin sheets of dough. After absorb
ing all the information the sheet con
tanned one could eat it, thus deriving
from il nourishment for mind ana
body.
The publisher OF new Partisan
journal, lie Bien 'Etre, promised TO
all subscribers for 40 consecutive
years a pension and free burial, In
spite of the inducement subscribers
were so few that the paper died in
month. 1t was followed shortly after
by a paper called lie Nouchoir, the
handkerchief 1t was printed on pa
per SuCn as the so-CdllSu J"p'hOSN
napkins are made of and might be
used in case the reader forgot or lost
his handkerchief Ii did not last long.
At two different French seacoast re-
sorts newspapers called the Courier
des Baigneurs Gathers Courier and
La Naiade, which doesn't need trans
lation, were printed on waterproof
paper The inducement was that the
bather could take his paper into the
sea with him and read it while he en-
joyed his bath.
The climax Of utility seems to be
reached in Norway, where some OF
the newspapers used so tough quail
ty of paper that it can be cut into
strips and twisted into serviceable
rope when the news is all read.

Disqualification.
the SAME FIGHT IN OTHER PLACES
Fergus Not the Only County in
Which Legality Of Old Boards
Actions is Questioned.

AS yet there has been no determine
ton of the legal controversy over the
county printing contract. 1t may be
several days before the matter is
brought to settlement in the district
court, and even after a decision is
rendered here, the chances are more
than even for an appeal to the supreme
court for final adjudication
Last Thursday was the date set for
hearing on the application by the Fer
gus County Argus for a permanent re-
straining order against the commits
sioners letting further work to the
Democrat. On that day, the board o.
commissioners through their chair
man julius Petersen, filed an affidavit
or disqualification, I'm which it was al
legged that the defendant could not
secure fair and unbiased hearing of
the cause before the local court It
may be stated In passing, that this
action by Mr.. Petersen has the en-
tire approval OF Commissioner Parent
and County Attorney Ayers Mr..
Ayers was prevented from appearing
at the judges chambers Thursday to
argue the motion Owing to his being
engaged in trying a case in the ius-
tice court. In his absence, William
Blackford of the firm of Blackford 6u

assist the county attorney in the case.
made the argument.
Judge Cheadle has taken the afff-
davit of disqualification under con-
sideration and had not rendered his
decision up to the time of going to
press Actions similar to the one now
before the court in this county are up
IN other counties of the state and 1t has
been intimated by Judge Cheadle that
he may wait until a decision Is reach
ed In some other county.
The Democrat Is sincerely anxious
TO have the matter settled with all
possible expedition and this Is also the
feeling of the board of commissioners
and County Attorney Ayers The at
torneys for the board are simply taxi
ing the steps that would be taken by
any other parties to such an action to
safeguard the interests of their client,
the board of commissioners, but as yet
nothing has been done by the board
or their attorneys to I'm any wise
hinder or delay settlement of the
action.
