TR|-STATE APPEALS
R|GHT.0F.WAY
CASE
Defendants in Suit Will Take
Case to Supreme Court
Come Up in September.

The Tri-State Telephone and Tele-
graph company has appealed to the
supreme court to set aside the judge
ments in the case brought by several
farmers residing near Emerado. The
plaintiffs NJ. A. Cosgriffe, Sarah Busse,
James McSherry, VIM. Wihtmore and
Frank Sufal brought suit for damages
to their land occasioned by the Tri-
State running a line of phone poles
along the highway. Damages rang
ing from in the neighborhood of $50 to
$3.50 were awarded in the district court
and it is from these judgements that
the phone company appeals.
The case will be given hearing at
the September term Of the supreme
court which assemblies in Grand Forks
September II.
The litigation in this case has been
bitter at all times and some of the best
legal talen in the northwest is ar
rayed, as the precedent established
by the district court, verdict might
mean the payment of thousands of dol
lars by the company and delay many
of the extensions planned for the COM
ing summer.

RAMSEY CO. GLAD.
LEGISLATURE
IS OVER
Devils Lake Correspondent
Writes Of Home Candi-
dates Records.
Special to III. nve,,,< r,..,,


:, Devils Lake, March 11.-A feeling
of relief prevails in political circles
over the close of the legislative as
sembly. There is very general feel
ing of dissatisfaction at the work of
the session, and especially that of the
Ramsey county members. The Jour-
nal expresses the prevailing sentiment
in commenting on the loss of one
member in the reapportionment by
suggesting that we could lose two
and be as we'll off as we were this
session. 1t is generally conceded that
Mr.. Miller was a very capable repre.
sentative. He is said by the various
persons who visited the legislature to
have used every reasonable effort tc
procure the legislation desired by the
county. In this respect his conduct
is said to have been delightful con-
trast to the conduct of the other two
members who, enjoying their brief
moment Of authority, could scarcely
determine whether they would sup
port measures demanded by their COP
stituents.
A good story is told as to the atti-
tude of one of our members on Mil
ler's Devils Lake state fair bill. The
particular member had been troubled
with cold feet over the bill, and when
the vote was taken, glanced hastily
around the chamber to see the appar-
ent popularity of the measure, grasped
the arms of his chair and waited, the
victim of conflicting emotions. Finally
the fear of the voters at home pre-
vailed-after it was apparent that the
bill had great many friends-and
the distinguished gentleman voted for
the bill. This Of course is mere in
cident, but it probably explains why
Ramsey county could not get any leg
islation. On the whole, therefore, we
are glad the session is over, even If
half cent had to be added to the
two cent fare bill, in order to enable
the legislators to retain their passes.
The only item of general interest
today, is the bringing of action by At
torney Gray, acting for Marguerite
Regan, against her father B. B. Regan
for $4,000 for cruel and inhuman
treatment. The defendant was arrest
ed few days since for the crime of
rape, alleged to have been committed
against the daughter who is IA years

FRAnKl|k'S INSANITY IS APPARENT
Fish Peddler Had Hearing Before In.
sanity Board-Remanded to
Sheriff's Care.

The county insanity board met this
morning to consider the case of Louis
Franklin, also known as Frankly the
Grand Forks fish peddler who created
scene on Tuesday at Leeds, N. D.
through his vociferous outbursts and
repeated the stunt last night in a To-
cal theatre. Though there was no
question about the insanity,of the pa
tient, the board did not order him COM
mitted, in the hopes that he may re-
cover from his temporary state of
mind and become of settled mind
again. He will remain under the care
of Sheriff Hanson for few days be-
fore further action is taken.
Franklin displays a mania for
Whdstling and dancing, and during the
long hours of last night his low whist
ling and lively jigging kept the other
prisoners awake. At the hearing this
morning, Franklin also showed unmis-
table signs of insanity. Several times
he started from his seat and pointed
his finger toward his brother who Was
witness, exclaming, "You have not
been a good brother to me-" mo you
haven't"
1t also developed during the examina-
ton that his father is an inmate of the
Fergus Falls, MINI asylum, and that
sister at one time was committed
to the North Dakota insane asylum.
Franklin's arrest was brought about
last night through his antics at To-
cal play house. He was seated in the
audience when suddenly he uttered
shrek, afterwards getting up and
walking out of doors where he was
taken in charge and lowed to the city
hall. Deputy overly transferred him
to the county Jail.

A Critique of a PRAYER.

heard Harry Gaze lecture recently,
and lie criticised the prayer we teach
our infant children to make every
night on retiring-"Now 1 lay me down
to Sleep" etc.
He said it was terrible mistake TO
have placed before the mind Of an In.
FAINT child every day as part of a
prayer the thought OF death, MS in IF
/ should die before I wake"
Is it not Il serious experiment. this
constant placing the thought of death
not only, but sudden DEATH" before
the mind of child every day and day
after day OF life, and might it not tend
to result in early death?
The mind OF child is most impress
sionable. 1t should not be allowed to
contemplate death and especially the
fear OF death habitually. Its teachings
should be the joy OF life, of health, OF
strength, OF the infinite. The prayer
should be uplifting, aspiring, joyous.
Character is thus formed.-Clark Bell

Fire Escapea.

To go down the ordinary external
fire escape ladder one has to be more
or less OF an acrobat and possess un.
usually strong nerves and sinews.
Nearly all such fire escapes are placed
where In a severe fire they are likely
to become red hot and useless and In
nine cases out OF ten are so located as
to be more or less inaccessible. The
International Society of Building In
spectors is making an effort to have
cities incorporate in their building re-
Quirements a rule that will give every
structure a safe and positive fire es-
cape The main stairs, 1t Is argued,
are the most natural means OF egress
to which people will turn In a moment
OF need. Therefore, 1t is contended,
the main stairs Of every building
should be made absolutely incombus-
tible, should be inclosed In fireproof
Enclosures. either walls of brick OF
tile or screens of steel or wire glass,
and have self closing doors at every
landing. They should abut either upon
the street or into a fireproof corridor
leading to the street, and from such a
corridor there should be none but abso-
lutely fireproof communications, doors,
etc, to any other portion OF the build
ing. 1t may be slight Inconvenience
to open and close q door every time
one goes up or down q stairway, bu,
this Is counterbalanced by the absolute
security and safety afforded by such
a stairway.-Harper's.

MEN AND THEIR CLOTHES.
Americans and Others as Seen by

Americans and Others as Seen by a
LONDON Sartorial Critic.
A mans dress Invariably procIaims
who and what he is. IL is an index
TO his character. his tastes and his na-
tonality. aud without making a too
abstruse study II is possible to indi-
cate those features which proclaim the
nationality OF the wearer.
OF course there is an nristocracy of
the nations who are difficult TO dis
tinguish except by some popularity of
face or figure. Their clothing is re-
fined and tasteful and leads one to be-
lieve that their garments are London
made. as they are free from those
glaring peculiarities which character
lie the products of other countries.
The Americans garments are gen
orally quite two sizes too large for
him. the collar of his coat is exceed
ingly narrow and the shoulders and
back excessively wide. His jackets
are often extremely long and his trous-
ers pegtops finished with raised seams.
His favorite garments are the lounge
and Chesterfield, and these are often
finished IN some extraordinary way
which he fancieS to be original.
The Frenchman is dressy. His gar
ments are close fitting and decidedly
"waisty." He favors the frock and the
morning coat. which he has finished
with as much ornamentation as posi-
BILE. Silk facings, braided edges and
fantastic flaps are ali characteristic of
his dress, while he also pays q good
deal Of attention to his hat, tie and
cuffs.
The German is In many instances a
modified American. He likes plenty
OF room, especially about the chest,
which part of his anatomy he delights
to make much of. Consequently there
Is often a seam up the front Of his
coat from the waist. In cut his gar
ments are angular, and in style he
favors the morning coat and lounge.
There is lack of personality about
his attire, and one can Invariably de-
tect the result Of his military training
in the uniformity of his garments.
The Spaniard is a modified form of
the Frenchman. His garments are
tasteful and neat. If the weather is
