The Law Regulating Autos.

The speeding OF automobiles or.
perhaps, it were better to say an auto
mobile through the streets Of Linton,
at dangerous and illegal rate of speed
is something that we believe will soon
come TO an end. Pedestrians and
team owners have IA few rights to the
streets. The law is plain and clear
regarding the matter. Ii anybody
wants to run his auto at high rate of
speed. let him so outsdeof the village
limits, where the danger of running
into or over somebody is reduced to a
minimum. Everybody is pleased to
see the automobiles on the streets i'm
the evening. There is nothing that
gives village IA more progressive and.
"citiiied" air. There are men owning
automobiles in this town who. for a
two-f,d reason, take q moderate speed
Through the streets. They not only
do not wish tn endanger life, but they
KNOW hat such excessive speed going
up lliIi and down dale will soon send an

North Dakota Magasiae.

The issue of the North Dakota Mag
azine to be put forth in few days by
Commissioner of Agriculture w. G.
Gilbreath contains much matter OF
historical and other value to North
Dakota There is "a sketch OF the new
counties Of Adams, HettiDger and
Bowman, profusely illustrated with
photographs, and that will serve to
set these new counties before the peO-
Pile of the country. An old photograph
of territorial council Of 1874, fur
nished by Andrew AIcIIench, of Fargo,
one of the members Of that body, pro
vides inspiration for an interesting
article by the editor dealing with that
early-day council and the legislation
enacted by it. Mi. Mcfiench and
Hon. Il. A. Williams OF Bismarck
were the only members of that conn-
eli from that part OF the Territory
which now constitutes the state OF
North Dakota. When it is considered
that North Dakota now has forty SEN
atorial districts and a legislative body
comprising l4O members, the growth
of the state will be apparent. There
will also be a sketchof Larimore, show
ing the growth of that enterpriSing
city, an interesting article with refer
ence TO early-day missionaries among
the Indians, some letter press and pic

nAzELTon vs.. LINTON.
The Reds Won tAe THIRD oa,ne ney
Have Playel THIS Seasoa-They
Have Lost No Games This Year.

The Linton Reds last Thursday won
their third game Of the season and the
first away from home. They played
the fast Hazelton aggregation and
were victorious by score Of . to i.
The Hazelton boys had an of day and
put up a ragged exhibition OF the ma
tional game: but they will play a re-
turn game here this afternoon at I
O'Clock, and they have promised to
even things up. While the boys of
our sister town were doing such poor
work, the Reds were In prime condi-
tion: the two errors made being of lit
tile Importance in the result.
Hazelton had previously played four
games, winning all of them, and was
consequently confident of the result Of
this one. 1t was doubtful in the morn
ing whether the game would he played,
as frequent showers made it appear as
II the contest must he postponed.
However, after dinner the weather
was fair, and the game was started.
In the first inning Linton followed its
usual tactics of making sure Of the
game at the start. The LintOns Sc.
cured three scores by q combination OF
errors on the part of the home team
and long hits by the Reds. In the last
half Hazelton succeeded in squeezing
in one score on close decision. This
was their only run. For four innings
the result was unchanged. However
in the last five innings the numerous
hits of the visiting team raised the
score to final sum of nine. The Reds
kept up their reputation as sluggers
making Il total of fifteen hits, Of which
five were good for two bases and one {;
three dagger. Flanagan again did the
champion sticking, drawing three safe
ones in four times up. Toward the
close Of the game the rain began tt
fall until, in the last half of the ninth
inning, it was pouring. But the entire
nine innings were played. Following

Base Bal, "Root.ns" Dy.ss ost.

Nothing in this years base ball sea
son has been so remarkable as the sal
utory growth OF intelligent interest i'm
the national game and the decay of
"rooting,' as exubeiant demonstra-
tion of partisanship has been called by
baseball people.
For the past twoyears the ''roUtets' y
have been making themselves less and
less of the irsutferable nuisance they
were before the advent uf clean base
bali and its incubator, the American
league, In st. Louis. The worry of at :
tending baseball games has become
very much less intensified since root
ing has begun its decay For 1t was
most idiotic, shameful and sense
less practice.
No one, OF course, objects tn agO0d,
solid cheer that has the uIhnistAllsa BILE
depth and solidity of tune thAt can
come only from a genuine ebuliitian
OF enthusiasm
Nor to the rOusing hisSur steMtOriam
groan which marks proper iisapproval.
1t Is against the hollow, hang Tipped,
slack Drained. meaningless bawling
that is wearisome and disgusting be
yOnd all endurance.
The worst of il was that until lately
even now some of them still exist
these insnfferablc fowdies In their silli-
ness imagined that they we're TO a
large extent honorable public insbitu-
tions instead of intolerable public
nuisances They felt that their right
to. hoot, abuse and offend was as In
alienable as that OF free speech. As a
result of this every baseball player
and umpire was subjected to the vile
outbnrst Of artificial, unmanly, ungen
erpus. undignitied. un-American howl
ing, whicn degraded the stands to the
level of the cages In the meHagerie.

To Kill Wire Grass.

To kill out quack or wire grass, first have
the ground reasonably we'll moved so it is
not too uneven, and on this put tarred pa
per such as frequently used on buildings
that are to be covered with siding and such
as is kept by hardware merchants. Have
the paper overlap little, say three inches,
and be sure and let it reach out beyond the
last leaves of the quack grass that are to
be seen in the patch and keep the paper
in its place by putting something over the
edges and along the seams-usually dirt
will do this-then let it alone. 1t is very
important that the light be excluded from
the plants. They are practically smoth-
cred because it can retain no green leaves
to work for it. 1t will be probably safer
to let the tarred paper remain for more
than six weeks. This paper not only kills
the quack grass, but all other plants on the
lawn. Below the surface will be living
seeds of weeds and other things along that
line that will likely sprout up afterward.
To re-seed the lawn after this is taken
off, cut pieces about an inch square off the
turf and scatter these fragments at random
over the barren spot, just as they may
lodge on the ground so there will be, per
haps, one of these on each ; to 6 inches,
and then pound them down. This is
cheaper than sodding the ground and
quicker than seeding the lawn. 1t is
called seeding by incubation.

Curious Watches.

A man in Switzerland has just made a
watch entirely Of ivory obtained from an
old billiard ball. Works, hands and case
are all of the same material. And yet II
keeps very good time.
The first photographic watch was made
in Paris in 1897. 1t was large and heavy
but was regarded as great curiosity new
ertheless. Now, however, watches that
speak the hour in place of Ginning them
are not at all uncommon.
They are, says the House Beautiful,
still somewhat bulky, as compared with the
best ordinary modern chronometers, al
though not so much SO but that they can
be easily carried in an ordinary waistcoat
pocket. :,
Beneath the crystal back of valuable
chronometer owned by an English trades
man six tiny gold and silver fish with ruby
eyes are seen, apparently swimming about
in real water. The fish, infinitely small,
are beautifully modelled, and the effect
of movement in their natural element Is
due to combination of hair springs with
a background of quicksilver. ;,
Far more wonderful, because of its small
size, is the watch owned by the Czarlna oi
Russia, originally presented to the En-
press Elizabeth on her coronation.
At the back is inset an exquisitely beau
tiful little model of the Holy Sepulchre,
over which is seen standing, stern and
motionless praetorian guard.

Considerate Juryman.

William Archer was advocating spelling
reform at dinner in New York. II be-
lieve,' he said, ''that reformed spelling
would be unanimously adoptedif if the public
would but weigh the matter with an open
mind.
He paused and smiled. ''But no, )" he
said, the public's attitude is such that it
brings vividly before me an episode that
once heard related in London by Justice
Darling. The justice, as the trial of GER
tain case was about to begin, started and
said suddenly: But there are only IL
jurymen in the box. Where is the twelfth?
1.-The foreman rose and held up his hand
with soothing gesture It's all right,
your honor" he said respectfully. The
twelfth juryman had to go away on busl-
ness, but he has left his verdict with me. -

UP in the Air.

SOUTH NoRwALK, Conn. June 10
Young Henry Remsen was playing hide
and seek yesterday, and hid in one of the
old spring guns or mortar once owned
by p. 4. Barnum, the Snowman.
He had hardly got comfortably fixed
when he suddenly shot up in the air and
landed in an apple tree nearby. He was
bruised, but not seriously hurt.
The mortar responsible for Remsen' s
flight was one which Barnum used in his
old 'human cannon ball. act in which a
young woman was shot to the top Of the
canvas and there caught in net. Rem
sen went through the act all except the net.
George L. Britton obtained the mortar
years ago, and has used it as an ornamen-
tation of his lawn. The boys in the
neighborhood have used it for years as a
plaything, but none Of them touched the
powerful spring hidden away in it until
young Remsen slid in yesterday.
