SHERIFF BELFORD
Has Sent Out Cards Warning Sheriffs
and Deputies to be on Lookout For
Robbers.

Sheriff Belford has mailed the fol-
lowing card to all sherifrs and depu-
ties in the surrounding country, anent
the recent Churchs Ferry bank rob-
berry. That the thieves will be appre+
hended by concerted effort, If they
are still in this part of the country, is
not a matter of conjecture:
''The Spare bank at Churchs Ferry
was robbed Sunday night, October 9Th.
Cash taken was: gold, $1.780; paper,
$3,657; silver, s1,6s5; nickels and pen
MES, $1o3.
II am fully convinced they are the
parties who robbed the Michigan City
hardware store Thursday, October 8,
Bartlett, October 4, and Churchs Ferry
Oct. 6, which shows that they are
working west. Now If you notify all
the small towns in your county to be
on the lookout for them, and the next
break let us all get out and take them.
It can be done If we work together. I
am satisfied they will show up west
of here before long.
1.-THE North Dakota Bankers asso-
citation offers q reward Of $500, the
Ocean Guaranty company offers good
reward, and Bartlett offers $100. I
presume Michigan City also offers a
reward.
LET it be known in every town in
your county and am confident we will
land them"

Devils Lake Won by Score Of 6 to 0.

The second game between the foot
ball elevens representing the local
high school and the Lakota school was
played on the home grounds last Sat
urday afternoon, before a fair sized
audience. AS in the first game, our
boys proved too tough proposition
for the visitors to handle, and they
were again whitewashed, the final
score being six to nothing. The boys
are feeling jubilant over their two
victories and are in fine fettle for the
game tomorrow, when at $3.50 they
will meet the Cando warriors on the
gridiron. A good game is promised,
as Cando is said to have a strong
team. 1t is hoped that large crowd
will turn out to witness the game, and
so give the boys both financial and
enthusiastic encouragement.
In the first half of last Saturdays
game the ball was kept in our terri
tory most of the time, but in the Sec
ond the locals took a brace, and re-
versed the order of things. We had
it all our own way, and five minutes
before time was called Cowan was
sent across the line for touchdown.
Maher then kicked goal, and as the
ball went sailing through the air, and
landed fairly between the goal posts,
a rousing cheer went up from the
spectators, for they know that our
boys had saved the day and won the
second game of the season.
In the evening a reception was ten
dered to the visiting boys and girls at
Odd Fellows hall. Refreshments were
served and the evening delightfully."-
spent in dancing and living over incl
dents of the afternoons game.

A Crop Expert Speaks.

Col. Creel, in speaking OF the wheat
output this year, said "ln all three
states-North and South Dakota and
Minnesota-the wheat output will not
amount to over one hundred and fifty
million bushels. Take from this, say
thirty millions bushels for seed, the
amount left, one hundred and twenty
million bushels, will only be enough
for the consumption of this country,
and we. will have nothing left for ex-
port. The wheat crop all over Can
ada, and all over the world, in fact,
has not come UP to expectations.
look for the cereal to bring s1.25 per
bushel by next May"

Stove Backing Done Away With.

They will be showing something
novel at O'Brien Bros. hardware store
next week. A kitchen range that
doesn't require blacking. The top is
made of malleable iron, which receives
a high polish in the process of manu-
facture and turns a handsome steel
blue color with use. Mr.. O'Brien says
1t is made by the Malleable Iron Range
Co., and is called the "Monarch." The
name is certainly not a misnomer If
all that is asserted for it is true
and Mr.. O'Brien says he can demon.
strate the claims convincingly.

Double Track Now Beinu Used.

On Monday morning last an order
went into effect that all freight trains
between this city and Churchs Ferry
be run over the double track but late
ly completed by the Great Northern.
Already this new arrangement has
helped the congestion of traffic be-
tween these points wonderfully. The
new track will be in the best possible
shape in week or so, as a large force
of men stationed at different points
between here and Churchs Ferry are
busily engaged in surfacing it up.

How Honest Are We?

From Harper's Weekly.
 It would be interesting to know at what point on the standard the average honesty of the American people stands in these days It would also be interesting, IT. we had reasonable means of comparison, to compare the average American honesty with the average British, French ana German honesty. Also to compare the average honesties of folks in different parts of our own countryside east with the west; the farmers with the union labor men; Boston, New York; Chicago and San Francisco; country folks witn city folks; rich people with poor; trust magnates and railroad men with muck rackers and political reformers. And we would like, if we could, to compare the average honestly of this generation with that of the civil war generation; and again with that of the generation that fought out the revolution. It would help lls perhaps to know which way we are tending in the matter of honesty It seems to us sometimes that average hon. esty hereabouts is low. Was It not Tn the papers lately that the New fork street railroads discharged several thou sand street car conductors year for stealing fares or being suspected of it? These same railroads compute that they lose several million dollars yearly by the dishonesty of employees who steal and Of passengers who do not pay or make dis honest use of transfers. The average con- science here does not seem to prick at cheating the street railroad company, nor does it seem to prick in state legislature, especially in the south. at taking any thing takable away from any railroad. Those are depressing signs. Another Is the apparent eagerness of a great num- Der of people, including many leaders in politics, to have President Roosevelt run for a third term in the teeth of his solemn declaration that he won't. They seem to have no conception of the obligations of integrity.

 Finest Circus Building.
 It was by all odds the finest circus building yet erected in New York, and "one of the largest places of amuse- nnent in America" Built of wood, with n brick front that was very imposing, 1t had seats for $500 persons, and until the place was burned, on August 5. 1929, 1t was well filled nearly every day.
 The building stood near the site of the present Grand street ferry to Will liamsburg and 1t was on the river sands there thas Dick Sands. long 8 popular performtr, threw his first flip flaps. Charley White. one of the orig , nal successful minstrels used 10 help trim the lamps at the Mount Pitt circus to get free admission to the show. The reason he didn't get in by car rying water for the elephant was that there was no elephant. Dan Gardner. famous circus man for many years, and Archie Madden, a renowned clown, got their start there. The quotation "To witch the world with noble horsemanship" appeared on the first programme issued by the Mount Pitt The same programme aT- nounced that "a strong police is en' gagged and strict order and decorum will be enforced "
 One notable feature of that circus was the singing, on the night of No- vember H. 1926, of a song "commem orative of the siege of Plattsburg ir September. 1874" The song began: Back side Albany stan Lake Cham plair.
 The singer was Tatnel1. the "Flying Horseman." in the character of ne- gro, and the singing of that darky Jingle gave an impetus to that kinr of minstreisy and caused 1t to spread and win popularity throughout the get tied parts of the country. It was in 1928. the year after the pub lication of Hardies book. that William Niblo's san Souci' garden was erected, and two years after that Blanchards noted Amphitheatre was opened on Chatham street. between Duare and Tfarl.

BROOD OF PYTHONS.
Lively Young FamiIy-First Instance
 of Matching In Captivity.

From the London Tribune.
 Most people know that vipers bring forth their young alive and that the common English grass snake de- posits it's eggs to be matched by the heat of decaying matter. Some of the great constructing snakes, however, exercise a certain amount of care over their eggs, gathering them into heap and coiling around them till the young make their way out or are helped into the world by the kindly offices of the keepers, who break away the hardened shell.
 A case of this kind occurred with the Indian python in the Tower menag- erie in the early part of the last cen tury, and others are on record at tho Jardin des Plantes in Paris, the Re- gents Park gardens and at later date in those at Leipsic. An incubation which nas been unusually successful is just recorded from the Tier park of Herr August Fockelmann at Cross Borstel, near Hamburg.
 In August last he bought large retic- ulated python from sailor trading to the east. Within a month she began to lay eggs, and when one was exam ined it was found to contain partly developed embryo. As time went on others were opened, and in this way the proprietor obtained a series of specimens of young in different stages of development. The mother python paid the greatest attention to her eggs, leaving them only at night, when sha went for time into the bath.
 The general results appear to be far better than have hitherto been ob- tained. At Regents Park, though it was found that the eggs had been fer tilized, no living young were produced. At Gross-Borstel 27 young pythons came out, and their owner described them as very lively little reptiles, with much the appearance of common grass snakes, measuring from 22 inches to 30 inches in length and biting readily at anything offered to them with suf- ficient force to make an impression on ones finger.
 On November 25 they took food for the first time-white mice of pretty good size. All appear to be in the best possible condition, and should they reach maturity the fact of their having been matched in confinement will no doubt enhance their value consider aDiy, for this appears to be the first instance in which this particular spe- cies has so bred.

Whittier at Close Range.

Caroline Ticknor in Harper's Weekly.
 He belonged to those natures who would advance with firmness and joy to mar tyrdom in good cause, but are never comfortable in society. and who impress one with the idea that they would like to run out of the door at any moment. Yet few enjoyed the society of congenial friends as did the Quaker poet. No one relished a good story more, nor related one with better grace. His sense of the ludicrous was very vivid, and the ab- surdities of life and its situations struck him never more forcibly than when they involved himself.
 As Whittier's nephew and biographer has asserted, 1t would be a mistake to suppose that gentleness was a necessity of his nature; his was, In reality. the result of resolute self control and the habitual government of a tempestuous spirit. Indeed, the poet had his shrewd, assertive and almost vindictive side. else he had never been so successful politi- clan and reformer.

 Between 1918 and 1920 there evil dently was a circus at the northeast corner of Broadway and Prince street. for a writer in the New York Mirror of July 8, 1880, says that within his re- membrance 1t was a square of unoc- cupied ground, within a board fence, taken possession of some ten or twelve years ago by troop of vagabond equestrians and rope dancers, who in time became a regular company, when real permanent circus was estab .ished."
 West Reopens.
 In 1920 West was in the city again with his equestrian troupe, and he him. self appeared for the first time In seven years, giving feats of sleight of hand on horseback" It was at that time that Mrs. West sang several songs and accompanied herself on the pianoforte, a feat never attempted by any other person."
 In 1873 there was an amph theatre and circus at the Richmond Hill Gar den, at the corner of Charlton and Va rick streets. and through the winter "grand caravan of living animals, among them lion, old Napoleon, was to be seen at 13 Bowery, while in March of the following year we read of a New Circus" on Canal street. be- tween Broadway and Elm streets, where a MT. LaConta threw a somersault tn rough rice tierce, the whole troupe assisting in sports of the Ring and Master Spencer performed on horse- back"
 In 1925 the glories of the old circus on Broadway were dimmed before the superior attractions of the Lafayette circus, on Laurens street (West Broad way), near Canal street. At the open ing "an address written by the poet Samuel woodworth was. delivered by MT. Dinnell."
 There were new thrills. Master La Forrest rode on his head without sad dle or bridle and 1eaped over a canvas ten feet wide" Mir.
