CALLING A GRAND JURY.

The calling of a grand jury in this
state is rather an unusual occurrence
in the administration of justice. Pos
sibly it is not done often enough for
the real good of the public. Unfor-
tunately all North Dakotans are not
angels and there are to be found in
the population of the state numbers
Of persons who violate the laws. The
statutes of the state are adequate for
the punishment of all the guilty and
the courts rise sufficiently to the pun
ishment of the crimes when brought
to their attention. The great trouble
is in getting the machinery of justice
set in motion.
There is no question but that the
information of the states attorney is
the proper means of bringing the
commission of crime to the attention
Of the courts when speedy action is
required. But the lack of enforce
ment of the prohibition law in this
state in the past has proven to every
fair minded man that when exclu-
sive dependence is placed on this
method. many of the criminals es-
cape. It lie not necessary at this time
to discuss the cause of this escape.
Suficient for. the purpose Of illustra-
ton Is thS fact that it is so. Whether

KANSAS CITY SOUTHERN R. R. NOW
EARNING OVER $225,000 PER WEEK

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, May 24.-Directors of
the Kansas City Southern Railway
company met today at the general OFF,
ces, 25 Broad street, for purposes of
organization and to consider business
matters now before the board. Her.
man Siecklen, chairman of the board,
submitted a proposition recommend
ing that, after the payment of fixed
charges, so percent of the net income
of the road be hereafter distributed
as dividends to the stockholders.
Chairman Siecklen defends this pro-
posal by reason of the prosperity the
road is now enjoying, pointing out
that the recent earnings of the sys-
TEN have been as high as $225,000 a
week. Owing to the great increase Of
immigration to the southwest and the
growth of the gulf traffic. the road is
reported to have almost doubled its
net earnings in the last year. The
proposal of the chairman has been
taken under consideration by the
board and will probably be acted up
an favorably.
The line Of the Kansas City South
ern railway extends from Kansas City
to Port Arthur, Tex. on the Gulf of
Mexico, passing through the cities of
Pittsburg, Kan, Joplin, Mo-. Fort

ed with appendicitis and this CAS-KA
keeps the bowels moving, so can say

CAS-KA is the only thing ever took

it to all my friends.
What One Dose Of CAS.KA Will Do.
To show that CAS-KA does somc-
thing besides moving the bowels. If
your kidneys are weak and you have
to get up nights or you have indiges-
ton or dyspepsia, in seven cases out
of ten three Of four doses of CAS-KA
relieves those troubles. Ask any per-
sons who are trying CAS-KA and they
will tell you the above Is true.
A man talking to a representative
of CAS-KA the other day asked him
how it was that in the ADVERTISE
ments of CAS-KA they always read
"CAS-KA relieves" why don't you
say CAS-KA cures?" The reason is
that a person has to be relieved be-
fore he can be cured. And If there is
a cure on earth, CAS4KA must be one
Of them. 1t relieves rheumatism by
purifying the blood, and to show its
direct action on the kidneys, where
the acids and solids are filtered from
the blood, bed-wetting children are
relieved by two or three doses OF
CAS-KA.
II you have bad stomach or your
kidneys are affected and you cannot

ferences or belief in lax admins
tration of justice is responsible for
the condition is not a matter of posi-
tive knowledge.
But it must be admitted that the
great exposures of crime in the cities
the San Francisco example being
the most conspicuous as we'll as the
latest-have come entirely through
the investigations made by grand ju-
ries These men selected from the
great body of the citizenry as a rule
have no ambitions to be trimmed.
They are the class generally which
is engaged in the private businesses
Of life and are therefore largely free
from the influences which would be
found in the case of the single prose-
cutor who is dependent upon the suf-
frages of the public for his position,
and who realizes that the vote of a.
criminal is as valuable as is that of
the most upright and law abiding
citizen.
The grand jurors being responsible
in conscience to their neighbors and
fellow citizens are more intent on
ferreting out the violations Of law,
and far less liable to be diverted
from rigidly hewing to the line. The
fact that the jury is composed Of
several citizens prevents any one man,
even were he so inclined, to either
shield guilty friend or unjustly pun
ish an innocent enemy. The very
organization therefore serves to bet
ter accomplish the desired ends of
setting in motion the machinery Of
justice.
The expenses of grand juries are
larger than are those which result
from the institution of criminal pro-
ceedings by information. But if the
method will secure the proper pun
ishment of the violators of the law
than will that of information, it is
money which the public can we'll af-
ford to spend and the results will
be ample recompense.
Strictly speaking the duties of a
states attorney are those of a prose-
cutting officer before the court and he
should not be forced to become an
informant as we'll. He would have
a stronger case morally when he at
tempted to go into court on an in
dictment found by a grand jury Of his
county than he would have if the
charge were merely one of his own.
The truth of this statement is too
apparent to need argument. Under
all these conditions it would seem
that the more frequent calling of the
grand jury would result in a more
general enforcement of the law.

A Remarkable Sword.

"The armor of a Corean gentleman
wonderful" says Burton Holmes. the
at the house of prominent official
at Seoul that l heard the following
story relative to it's merits:
after dinner my host led the way
to large room, which was filled
with ancient armor of Corea and Chi
ma. Pixies, swords and cutlasses of
every description we're there. many
pieces Of which were centuries old.
Picking up one extremely odd sword,
the handle of which was long enough
for one to grasp with both hands, he
explained that it was the weapon of
COrean gentleman Of the sixteenth
century.
1T was indeed a truly wonderful
sword, for, as my host went on to
explain, the gentlemen of this period
were extremely proud of their swords
and their ability to WELD them. Why
said my host, almost any Corean can
tell you the legend of the two gentle
men who, while walking. were dis
cussing the relative merits of their
swords, when one of them. who had
become heated during the CONVERSE
ton, raised his sword high above his
head and swung it with such rapidity,
accuracy and force that he cut COM
pletely in two a coolie who happened
to be passing
That he proved his skill and the
temper Of his steel will be seen, for,
as the story has it, the blow was so
dexterously struck and the sword 50
keen that the coolie, entirely una
ware Of what had happened, contin-
ued his walk down the street, and it
was not until he attempted to turn
a corner that he discovered he was
cut. for in turning the corner he fell
apart"
Mr.. Holmes says, from appearances,
one would almost believe the sword
capable of performing this feat.

DEBAsED CRIMINALS.

Within a few months two murders
have taken place in this state which
were prompted by the lowest motives
that possess man-motives far below
those of the brute creation. In both
cases young woman was shot to
death because she refused to marry
the man who, in few minutes after
her refusal, became her murderer.
The Fairdale case occurred a few
montiis ago and the villain is now
in the penitentiary and it is hoped
that no clemency will ever be shown
him. In the other case, which oc-
Cured in Ward county a few days
ago, the murderer committed, prob
ably, the only good deed in his life
by blowing out his own brains so
soon as he had taken the life of the
woman who had refused to become
his wife, the only regret being that
he did not do that before the woman
fell victim to his debased passions
Were these merely solitary cases
in the worlds annals of crime there
would be some excuse for considering
them as the unfortunate results Of
brains dethroned. But they are mere
ly indicative of a criminal passion of
that kind which is finding its victims
everywhere.
Just what, except the lowest and
meanest passions, could induce a man
to commit such an act is beyond COM
prehension. If man loved woman
sufficiently to make him worthy OF
her devotion as wife, that love
would certainly be noble enough to
prompt him to the highest deeds of
kindness toward her, even if she re-
jected his offer. No man but de-
based fool would believe that wom-
an would entirely spurn his devotion
to her unless she disliked him. If
she did this and so told him, he would
be greater fool if he would care
to make her his wife. The very fact
that he would deliberately take her
life upon her refusal, is proof positive
that her judgment was correct when
che t,,rna6 him ouav
1t would seem that in men like
those who have committed the crimes
indicated, the elements which distin-
guish man from the lower. animals
are entirely lacking and the individ-
ual has degenerated into type some
what lower than the brute. Lacking
the instincts of humanity they are
unable to rise above the brutal crav-
ings for the possession of the object
which pleases the uncultured fancy,
and meeting disappointment, the brute
becomes the master and the coward
strikes down the woman whom he is
unable to possess.
1t is a return to the conditions of
primitive man when the brute force
was master of mans intellectual do
main. 1t is a mental condition which,
instead of being insanity, as the mis-
cradle craven who shot and killed
the girl who had refused to marry
him at Fairdale attempted to set up
to save himself from the vengeance of
the law, creates moral depravity
that shoulders in the brain and bursts
into flame at the moment there is
anything to recall the primitive I'M
pulses.

SUES HER ROMEO.

Much amusement was AFFORDED at the
trial of $4,000 breach of promise suit
before Judge Adams and jury in
Newark. The plaintiff was Mrs. Hen
rietta P. Mcintyre, a widow, of Glen
Ridge, who admitted that she is seven
ty years old. The defendant was the
Rev. William Perry, pastor of the First
Baptist church of Glen Ridge, and him
self past three score. Both are ne

The aged widow was attired in rust
ling silk, with a fetching toque,
trimmed with white lace and a big
bunch of violets. on her head. She
wore pearl colored kid gloves.
She told how the Rev. Mr.. Perry had
made love to her, how often she had
advanced him about $500 on his prom
Use that he would make her his BRIDE
and how she was looked upon as his
fiance by the members of the congre-
cation and the colored residents in
general of Glen Ridge. When asked
her age she replied: Il was born the
year that Queen Victoria of England
began her reign"
did you ever go out with the Rev.
Mr. Perry?" asked the lawyer.
Eyes, sir; I went to church with
him."
did Mr.. Perry ever hug you?"
NO, sir; he did not"
mot even in church,"
No, sir; nor anywhere else"
Did he ever kiss you?"
HE did not"
Did he ever give you ring?"
"No, sir; but he carried one that he
told me he had bought for me, but. l
could never get him to give it to me. "
Rev. Mr.. Perry, in his own behalf,
declared that he had never made love
to the widow, and had never told her
that he would marry her. When shown
locket containing his picture, which
the widow said he had given to her he
laughed and said that there were prob
ably half a million of those floating
about the country that he had sold in
his thirty-nine years as minister to
help raise his $50 a month salary. The
jury quickly returned a verdict in his
favor.
