BLIND P|GGERS ARE BIG
EDWARDS At HEART ---GOSS
In Talk to the Police Force of Mno District Judge Tells
About Dispensers of Booze-Costs Considerable to
Prosecute Vioators

Minot, N. D., Feb. 2O-When district
court opened the city police force, in
Guiding Chief Hagen, who had been
summoned by Judge Goss to appear at
2 o'clock, were asked to take the front
seats, and the Judge proceeded to give
the police few pointers as to the law
with regard to blind pigs.
Several times, once by the grand
jury, my attention has been called to
the fact that the police department is
not doing much toward the suppress
sion of blind pigs in Minot. 1 am not
criticising, and do not know but wha,
you have been doing your duty as we'll
as you could under the circumstances.
l do not know what the attitude of the
police or the administration is upon
this point, but that does not alter the
situation. There is no cause for the
existence of a blind pig in the city.
While realize that there is a happy
medium in all things, 1 want to say
that II it develops that there is a blind
pig in the city which has been running
for any length of time, the court will
have to investigate why it is running
and who Is responsible. We have been
trying these blind pig cases by the
month and it is costing the county con-
siderable money. There is hardly
blind pig case that does not cost at
least 500. You have been under a
misrepresentation as to your duty, by
reason of recent ruling of the court
within the county to the effect that you
must have warrant before you arrest

considers the judgment that the Fargo
reporter was insane to, be correct be-
cause the reporter wanted to inter-
view the mayor On the building a road

thinks the road would not pay
traffic being too light. Well, If Grand
Forks people had to go through Fargo

Forks would be suffering from reduc-

do not wish to :nfer that they were
dry, but they were trying to get evil
dence to substantiate their belief that
liquor was being struggled in. in gas
olene cans. They accordingly entered
in on the premises and got a can
which they hastily retreated with only
to find that it was gasoline. How they
got the idea that there has been any
liquor thus struggled in is a mystery
to all. We do not believe there is a
town in the state that is inflrcirg the
prohibition law any better than Plaza,
and II they continue to thus sally
out on suspects, we will be quite GER

quite in accordance with law, yet the
end will probably Justify the means.

Names of Flowers.

1t is interesting to know how certain
flowers got their names. Many were
named after individuals. For instance.
fuchias were so called because they
were discovered by Leonard Fuchs.
Dahlias were named for Andre Dahl.
who brought them from Peru. The
Camelia was so called for a missionary
named Kamel, who brought some mas-
nificent specimens of the flowers to
France from Japan. He called it the
rose of Japan, but his friends changed
it to camelia. Magnolias were named
in honor of Prof. Magnol de MONTPELIER,
who first brought the beautiful trees to
France from America and Asia. Be-
cause they tremble with the wind is
the meaning of anemones. The Latin
word to wash is lavare and lavendar
received its name because the Romans
put the flowers into the water when
they washed, to perfume their hands.

China $ Emperor

China's emperor Is an emperor only
in name. The real ruler both of him
and of his millions of subjects is his
aunt, the dowager Empress Tsze-hsl.
This remarkable woman, says NJ. A. P.
was born of very poor family and
when she was quite little girl her
parents were forced to sell her In or
der to raise little money. She was
bought by Chinese general, who
later on presented her to the Emperor
Hien Flung. At her husbands death
she quickly asserted her powers as a
stateswoman, and 1t was owing to her
Intervention that the present emperor
eventually succeeded to the throne
The empress is one of the strangest
mixtures of civilization and oriental
ism 1t Is possible to imagine. for while
she is a stern upholder of the ancient
customs of her fOrefathers, she is an
intrepid motorist and has proclaimed
herself interested in Christian Science.
. In spite of her great age, Tsze-hsi
Is very early riser, and conducts a
good deal of her business while the
majority of her subjects are still in
bed. She is extremely fond of reading
and is herself a poetess of no mean
merit. She is also a clever artists,
and, naturally enough II great ad-
mirer of all kinds of jewelry. Dogs
are especial favorites with the en-
press and she possesses numerous
magnificent specimens of various
breeds. Flowers, too, take up large
share of her time and she personally
superintends the decoration of her
apartments with beautiful blooms. So
infiexible ruler has this wonderful
woman proved that she has been nick
named by her people "the only man
In China"

A Royal Reporter.

King Louis XIII is said to have been
the first reporter in France. The
French national library possesses the
manuscripts of thirty-six articles writ
ten by that king. Almost all are ac-
counts of his military operations.
These articles were published in the
Gazette de France. The copy" how
ever, did not go directly to the printer.
Louis XIII wrote abominable French
and had vague notions of photography.
His articles were corrected and often
entirely rearranged by a secretary
named Lucas, who copied them, send
ing to Richelieu the new manuscript.
RicheHeu examined it in his turn and
often introduced additional correc-
lions. At the siege of Corbie the king
wrote few lines eugolistic of the car
dinal, but afterward crossed them out
of his article. Richelieu wrote them In
again and so they appeared in the Ga
zette de France.

Though this is bad time for beg

They were tearing up an old side

cording to the story told by Street

HILL CLIMBING TESTS Will Be MADE
BY MACHINE HOUSES At STATE FAIR

The exhibit of farm machinery at
the state fair in this city during the
coming summer viii unquestionably be
the most magnificent and costly ever
put on display to the people of the
Northwest. Two years ago the large
machine dealers of the country made
an agreement amongst themselves
that after that data no exhibits at
fairs would be made. Last year, how
ever. several of the companies vio-
lated the agreement and exhibited at
the Fargo fair, consequently this year
the entire line up of machine houses
will make shipments to Grand Forks
and no expense will be spared to put
before the people of North Dakota the
most complete array Of mechanical
workers ever punched together.
A hill is to be manufactured-in
other words an inclined plane with
a slant of 30 degrees is to be erected
to aid the companies in showing off
the hill climbing abilities of each par
ticular breed" The J.I Case COM
pany particularly desires to display
the uplifting propensities of its WON
der workers.
Mayor Geo. w. Duis of Grand Forks
has charge of the arrangements for
the bringing Of the various exhibits
to the state fair and Mr.. Duis states
that he is most appreciably surprised
with the results of his work, even at
this early date.

barber ought to talk about?"
The answer was in the negative.
WELL" continued the man in the
chair, "he should talk, about two min
utes."
There was intense silence during the
remainder of that job.
This just happened last night. A
north side young man called on his
girl living on the south side of the city.
