PAY FOR UNLAID EGGS.
One of the Claims Tint Followed
krugcr's for. Moral Damage.

Mr.. Kruger's claim for s1,000,OOo
for moral and intellectual damage
sustained by the raid was largely fo.-
lowed by the burghers in their claims
for loans FOR losses sustained during
the South African war. A bluebook
gives some amusing instances in the
course of a lengthy account Of the
distribution of the war compensation
sums:
One claimant asked that he be paid
compensation for certain fowls which
appear to have been killed and eaten;
that e45 compensation be paid to him
for the value of the eggs which the
fowls might have laid had they not
been destroyed; that. in addition to
the value of the fowls and to the value
of the eggs which the fowls might
have laid had they not been turned
into an article of diet, he be paid the
large sum of $500 for moral indem-
MITIGATION" for the loss of the fowls
and the other property claimed for.
No loss, however small, was consid-
cred too unimoprtant to form the sub
ject Of claim. One claimant asked
compensation for war losses to paid

ways alert and looking out for their
right and their interests they will
have good government. If they are
careless and Indifferent or ignorant
of their rights and their power there
are plenty of bad politicians ready to
give them the kind of government
they deserve.
When political conditions in a city
grow to be so bad they can not longer
be endured, the first action Of the
good people is to call public attention
to the worst features of their govern
ment, and call that reform move
ment. Such movements never perma-
nently reform anything. If you find
your taxes high, life and property in
secure as result of bad political
government, just turn in and devote
the same attention to public affairs
that you do to your land titles and
you will quickly get at the bottom
of the trouble, correct it and keep it
correct. That is the only way to
keep your taxes down and insure
permanent good government. When
you know just what you want
in municipal affairs then you
have an iron-clad option on the
situation, and no politician will
be smart enough to fool you with a
bogus guarantee bond or what he will
do when you put him in Office.
Municipal officers, even when they
are professional politicians, are al
ways ready to listen to the people
when the people know what they want
and how to get it. There is no other
class OF citizens in any municipality
better equipped for the work of COM
polling honesty, intelligence and econ
omy in local government than the
owners of real estate.
You cannot reform politics and Sc
cured guaranteed title to good
city government by turning one party
or fraction out of office and putting
another in. You must arouse civic
pride and interest in public affairs.
Investigate the character of every
candidate for Office as closely as you
investigate doubtful or disputed
title, and reject every one with flaw.
That is the way to obtain good govern
ment. Wide open towns and eXtrav-
agant public expenditures may boom
city or portions of it for a time,
but it is honest, intelligent and econo-
mical government that keeps down tax
rates and makes values permanent.
Whenever you fail to secure that kind
of government Won must assume some
share of the blame.

FIRE INSURANCE IS CUT
Rates Go Back to Schedule In Effect
Before the San Francisco Fire.
Grand Forks Not Affected.

A reduction in fire insurance rates
of rs per cent throughout the north
west, practically re-establishing the
rates that were in effect before the
Frisco earthquake and fire, has been
made. However this reduction Will
not effect Grand Forks people.
One of the prominent insurance Of
ficials in this city stated today to an
Evening Times representative, during
the progress of conversation, that
the situation in most cities after the
Frisco fire was such as to warrant
the increase on all fire insurance.
Grand Forks was somewhat different
from other Northwestern cities in that
the rates here were lowered rather
than increased Immediately after the
quake.
Last July there was a general
overhauling of the rates in Grand
Forks and the decrease was something
like 10 per cent.
The official also spoke regarding
other cities as follows:
1.-The Dean plan of rating the fire in
surance of the country went into eff
feet Immediately after the crisis had
passed and not until within a few days
ago was a final settlement made in
the northwest reducing the rates to
their original basis"
There is some talk of a furthed re-
duction, probably of ten per cent, lat
er on throughout the northwest. While
some of the insurance agents were
surprised to learn of a further reduc-
ton in the future, most of them at
tribute any lower rate to the pressure
that has been brought to bear by the
policyholders and the agents. Follow
ing the raise in rates last summer in
most northwestern cities there was
storm of protest from business and
civic organizations and this opposition
has been quietly at work since that
time in the effort to secure re-estab-
lishment of the old rates.
For some time a board of survey
has been at work in San Francisco
canvassing the situation with the view
of complying with the demand for a
readjustment of the rates. While no
official announcement has been made,
the board had undoubtedly arrived at
decision and the different companies
are notifying their agents of the re-
duction in order to be early in the
field.

of bacon, six saucers, one tin of but

said, he missed from his house when
he returned after a short absence.
Another, 81 years of age, who was
telegraph clerk in the service of the
late Government, and in receipt of
s27 per month, asked that he be paid
91,600 as compensation for the capt.
talized value of pension rights. Under
the laws of the republic telegraph
clerks had no pension rights.
Another asked that he be paid COM
pensation for war losses for the cloth
es worn and food consumed while he
was on commando.
Another asked that he be paid COM
pensation for war losses for the value
of property which he had looted from
the British and which the British re-
covered from him when they captured
him.
The foreign claimants, the commits
sioners assigning the compensation
found, had little regard for truth, and
whether their evidence was sworn or
unsworn made no difference. One
female claimant asked s655 for hors-
es and cattle. 1t was found that the
only animals she posed was wound

Cape Colony by her fiance a burger

For Promotion of Rifle Practice

Washington, March 5.-One only
need know the history of this country,
and understand what military ef1lcien-
cy means to realize how tremendously
important it is that our citizens should
be more or less familiar with modern
arms. Skill with weapons spells
strength in war. It Is said that 4
large percentage of the volunteers il
the late war had never fired military
rifle before entering the service. It
is this class Of young men the Nation
al Rifle association is DESTROYS of in
structing in rifle shooting, organizing
them into rifle clubs.
Experience SO far gained in the
rifle club movement has shown that
these clubs are a help to National
Guard enlistments, members, in many
cases, Joining the Guard for the prac-
tice in shooting they thus secure. The
great advantage of the rifle club is
that 1t offers an open door to the man
whose pressure of civilian vocations
makes 1t impossible for him to attend
drills and camps of instruction.
The United States has forty-seven
organized government clubs with a
membership of about 5000 mot count
ing the German-American clubs). The
little republic of Switzerland, with it's
three and one half millions of popu-
lation, has 1856 clubs, with a mem
bership Of 133,4S6. England has go
clubs with membership of 1925.
Data concerning the number of clubs
in France. Italy, Spain, Denmark, Aus
trailia, Canada, Brazil and the Argen-
tine Republic, countries where great
interest is taken in this matter, are
not available. Switzerland gives it's
rifle clubs money appropriation Of
about 100000 annually. With this ex-
penditure 142,704 finished markesmen
were turned out in 1905.
The English government gives its
National Rifle association free am
munition and much indirect assistance
In renting target facilities, and de-
failing regularl army officers and men
to assist in running the annual match
es at Bisley.
From the King, the Prince Of Wales,
and prominent citizens generally,
county and colonial subscriptions,
banks, business houses. ETC., are re-
ceived donations for the support of the
National Rifle association of Great
Britain to the extent of from $4,000
to $4,000 annually. The association
has surplus of $4,000, to its credit.
The Dominion Of Canada gives a

grant of $4,000 annually to its Ma
tional Rifle association; Italy appro-
PIRATES 100000 to her Rifle associa-
ton annually, and France gives even
more than this to her federation of
rifle clubs. The United States appro-
PIRATES for the National Rifle associa-
ton of Notwithstanding. To the Ma
tional Board for the Promotion of
Rifle practice is annually given So
900 for the expense of its members,
and for the prizes in the national
matches.
The regular army and militia are
we'll taken care of, but nothing has
ever been done in this country to
foster civilian rifle clubs except
what the National Rifle association of
America has done. This has been in
very small way only, owing to the
lack of funds, the only recourse avail
able being the small annual income
from membership fees and Dues If
the movement toward civilian clubs is
to meet with any measure of success
in the United States it would seem
necessary that some inducements
should be offered for citizens to ar
gan!ze clubs, in the way of arms and
ammunition, permission to use the
government and state ranges, prizes
for excellence in competitive shooting,
and assistance toward the building of
small ranges.
In 1904, in Switzerland, $4,000 boys
were organized into shooting corps.
Reckoning according to population If
the Swiss system existed in the United
States, there would be nearly 1000
boys instructed in rifle shooting, and
II shooting clubs existed with us in
similar proportion as in Switzerland,
the membership would attain to nearly
100000. Switzerland has 5000 COM
munes (counties), and 2,735 ranges;
the United States has, roughly speak,
ing, 5000 counties and only about
$50 ranges. A bill introduced by Rep
resentative Wiley, of Alabama, con-
templates range for each congress
sional district. We have a number Of
states that do not own ranges even
for the use of their organized militia.
This defect will, in measure. be
corrected through the recent act of
congress increasing the annual appro-
priation for the militia to 100000,
and requiring the states to use at least
rs per cent Of their allotment for
building rifle ranges and practice. A
state may use its total allotment for
this purpose, If it sees fit to do so.

Duyn Of Canyon county filed a COM
plant against Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone, swearing that they were in
the state Of Idaho at the time of the
murder OF Steunenberg, and that they
were fugitives from the state. It has
been repeatedly charged that the
county attorney willfully committed
perjury in swearing to this state
ment, but no action for an investiga-
ton of the charge has ever been made.
Governor Cooling Immediately is
sued reputation on the governor of
Colorado for the three men, which was
honored by Governor Jesse McDon-
aid. The Idaho officers arrived in
Denver on the morning of Thursday,
Feb. IS, 1906, but waited until late
Saturday night to arrest the men.
Early the following morning the three
prisoners were placed on board a
special train and hurried to Idaho.
They were given no opportunity to
see their relatives or attorneys be-
fore being taken from the state. The
arrest was made by Pinkerton de-
tectives, assisted by state troops.
The manner Of making the arrest
created great sensation at the time
among laboring men and is probably
chiefly responsible for the great in
terest taken in the case and the tre-
mendous amount Of money raised for
the defense of the indicted labor lead
ers. This sum is now said to be over
$4,000 and the fund is constantly
growing. Clarence barrow of Chica-
60 Is the leading attorney for the de-
tense.

Under this law many of the states
have begun and others will soon be-
gin the building OF ranges, and it is
hoped that when completed they will
be thrown open to the use of members
Of civilian clubs under proper regu-
lations.
The National Rifle association has
inaugurated policy of working in
close harmony with the military au-
thorities of the states, of broadening
its sphere of influence by securing
life members, and by forming new
clubs. Offices have been established
at 299 Broadway. New York, with the
secretary in charge. If the associa-
ton receives the proper cooperation
and support we will very soon have
in this country many thousands of
National Markesmen," as the men,
bers of rifle clubs are called who
qualify under the code adopted, using
the army rifle, and it will never be
said again that at least IS per cent.
of the volunteers Gas it is believed to
have been the case in the last war;
had never fired rifle before enlist
ment. General Washington's maxim
that ITO be prepared for war is the
most effective means to promote
peace" is being followed by advocat-
ing and promoting rifle shooting
among our citizens.
In his message to congress the pres
ident has this to say: 1--WE should es-
tablish shooting galleries in all the
large public and military schols,
should maintain national target rang
es in different parts of the country,
and should in every way encourage
the formation of rifle clubs through
out the country" This is not the first
time the president has put himself on
record as in favor of promoting rifle
shooting among the citizens of the
country. Not only the president, but
Secretary of War, Mr.. Taft, Secretary
Root, General Oliver, Assistant Sec
rotary of War, Generals commanding
the army, and many men prominent in
the affairs of the country have also
recognized the importance from the
standpoint of national defense, of this
subject, and the necessity of some
thing being done to bring about the
results for which the National Rifle
Association of America has been striv-
ing for years. Public interest must
be aroused, the people of the country
must understand the great Importance
of this work, and action of congress
must follow to fully attain the desired
results.

REAL EsTATEMAN's DUTY.
Should Take Part in Affairs of City
and Questions of High Taxes.

To the average politician the voice
Of the real estate man is the voice OF
the people. He can hear a whisper
warning from you when he would be
deaf to the loudest shouts of the pro-
fessional reformer and agitator. No
other organized body of citizens can
WELD such power in municipal affairs
as the owners of real estate. The pro-
fessional politicians are not going to
put UP your taxes if you protest in
time. They are not going to hit your
pocket too hard for fear that you will
hit their official heads. They know
how it is themselves, because the
pocket is the one spot where they are
tender and sympathetic.
Whenever a city is poorly or ex-
travagantly governed you will find
that the real estate men have neglect.
ed their duty as good citizens. They
have been too busy making money or
they have made so much that they
have grown Indifferent. The govern
ment of city reflects the mental and
moral condition of majority Of Its
citizens. II the good people are al
