The supreme court holds in the case
of H. P. Beets against the Frisco
railway, from Miami county, that the
railway is liable for damages to Beet's
cattle which escaped from a stock
pen at Hillsdale because one side of
the pen broke down, and the cattle
escaped. The court holds that the
railway company was liable for the
shrinkage in weight which the cattle
sustained by getting into green feed.
In a case involving the validity of
the law enacted a the 1905 session Of
the legislature giving counties the
right to tax oil and gas leases, the su-
preme court holds that such right to
tax does not become operative until
the wells are actually drilled, and the
leases become developed. The county
commissioners of Neosho county at
tempted to collect the tax on unde-
veIoped leases of the Kansas Natural
Gas company. The lower court refus-
ed the injunction which the company
sought to prevent the collection. The
supreme court holds that the injunc-
ton should have been granted. This
is a decision of great Importance to
the Kansas Natural Gas company,
which holds leases to vast tracts of
undeveloped mineral lands.

Will Not Bring Up Disarmament.
Washington, June 17.-It can be
stated on authority that the American
; delegates to The Hague conference
will not bring up for discussion the
question of limitation of ornaments.
That matter is regarded as purely
European question at present and as
the result of a years work by Prof.
=. De Martens at the various capitals of
Europe has been to thrash out pretty
thoroughly the whole matter and make
evident the fact that at least four of
the great powers are averse to the
question, the Washington government
regards itself as relieved from the
necessity of bringing this matter to
the fore. It is the opinion here also
that the subject of limitation of arma-
ment will not now be broached by
any of the powers represented at The
Hague court.

Smith Mcpherson in the United States
District court Saturday heard the ar
guments both of the state and the IS
Missouri railways involved in the ac-
tions concerning the enforcement of
the two-cent passenger fare and the
maximum freight rate acts. The first
skirmish was over the question Of
jurisdiction of the Circuit court, that
Friday ordered the roads to obey these
laws, and of the federal court, which
enjoined the railways at their own re-
quest from complying with them.
In the meantime, the railways are
obeying the edict Of the federal court

Tribute to Roosevelt.
M. Nelidoff opened the conference
by affirming that universal peace and
disarmament we're unattainable. The
deliberate utterances Of the Russian
statesman, although pessimistic to the
extent referred to, were hopeful when
later he said he believed that better
method for the judicial adjustment OF
disputes was possible, even though all
conflicts between nations were no
more avoidable than conflicts between
individuals.
In the course of his address M.
Nelidoff greatly pleased the American
delegates by the, high tribute which
he paid to President Roosevelt and
Andrew Carnegie, not mentioning any
other countries or rulers.

GRAND FORKS ALL RIGHT
Not the Only Place Where People Are
Complaining of the Backward
Spring, Says Wolfe.

81 have never heard so many kicks
on the weather in my life as 1 have
this spring. said H. L. Wolfe of Chi
cage at the Dacotah. ''In the past
four weeks have travelled pretty we'll
over all the territory east of the Mis-
sissippi, and have covered a part of
eastern Canada. and l don't believe ]
struck single town where everybody
was not complaining of the backward
spring. Everywhere the same tale
was poured out, telling about the lat
est spring in twenty years. etc. I
guess warm weather is rather slow
hitting Grand Forks along this time
of the year as general thing, but If
it has been slower this year than usu-
al, you can console yourselves with
the thought that others are afflicted
in the same way.
Grand Forks is one of the best
towns l have struck since starting out
ON my trip. For it's size, think am
safe In saying that it is one of the best
towns, in a business way, in the en-
tire northwest. The outsider is al
ways impressed with the great activity
here and with the prospects for a
great future for the city. The BUSH
ness people treat one right. and they
seem to be prosperous and contented."

AVERSION TO
JAIL
Coming Of Warm Weather
Makes vags Long For the
Lounging Places. \

Up to this time the warmth and
comfort of the Jail and the free food
and shelter which it offers have gone
long ways toward consoling the vags
for the confinement which Is attend
ant with their incarceratio.
But from the first of May on. as the
sun begins to make the northerly side
OF the street and the thousand and
one other much-used lounging places
reasonably comfortable for day of
idleness, and, as meager living can
be eked out from the free lunch coun-
ters. life outside is rendered doubly
attractive, and the vagrant who brings
down upon himself the strong arm Of
the law Is looked upon by the rest of
his ambition-lacking clan as one of
the most unfortunate individuals on
earth.
About this time of the year the plea
of honest. jedge, Iwas goin' ter git

FASHIONED and is delivered with de-
gree OF earnestness which was lack
ing during the winter months
While the vagrancy law is often
used with good effect by the police to
get suspicious characters out of town,
the average vag who makes his APP
pearance with the daily grist in the
morning is good-natured, harmless
individual. with nothing against his
record except an aversion to work and
possible propensity to imbibe too
much spirituous liquors for his own
good. The true vag differs from the
conventional tramp or hobo only in
the absence of the wander lust. The
desire to travel prevents the tramp
becoming the permanent fixture which
number of Grand Forks Migrants
have become.

school have been working hard in the
preliminary planning for the big ban
quet and reception to be rendered the

ception was announced today, June 6
being the preference. 1t has gen.
orally been the custom to have the
reception the day after the gradua-
ton exercises but owing to the sew
eral other social events which are
scheduled for that night it was
thought advisable to give the affair
in the evening, after the seniors have
received their diplomas.

FIRE RECORD A GOOD ONE
During First Four Months of Year
Total Loss Has Only Been
About $4,000,

The fire record of Grand Forks for
the first four months OF this year is
an excellent one. The records of
Chief Runge show that during that
period there have been thirty-one
The most serious fires In Grand
Forks during the. first four months
of the year are the st. Bernard's
academy blaze, the Wisner block fire
and the Mahowald Bros. harness shop
smudge. The other losses were all
light ones.
The record is considered an excel
lent one. 1t compares very favorably
with any city in the United States,
and in comparison with Fargo, Is
much better. That city has suffered
loss of over 100000 already this
year.
