Yesterday a thirteen year old boy nam e,i Jimmie Fitzgerald. and a compan- ion about the same age. climbed into the buggy of Humphrey Mckeon for a ride in the country. being armed with their rubber sling shots and pocket full of pebbles. When they returned they had thirty-six white wings. one cottontail and one jack rabbit. Mir McKeon says the jack rabbit was just thrown in for good measure. They had been out in the game country about two hours and were preparing to re turn home when the jack hopped up al one side of the road. ~One of the boys told him to stop the horse min ute and he did so when the boy shot the rabbit from his seat in the buggy The high toned town sports with their scatter and pop guns will now have to take a back seat or make a new record.
 LOST HIS HAT-A prominent lady ir the city yesterday brought into Judge Kyle's court a very nice looking felt hat which was found in her front yard. During the previous evening her daughter remarked that she could hear some one sleeping out in front of the house, d sonorous slumber so to speak Her mother procured a gun and went out as an advance guard and ordered the enemy tO make a to the rear march. The man came out of his nightmare right about face and made off. double time. and in his hur- ried retreat lost his hat and some oth- CT valuables. which are waiting a claimant. Francisco MendeZ added to the gayety of nations and paid S7.OO for the usual D. and D.
 A SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT til two new sleepers arrive which have been ordered by the M. & P. a temporary arrangement has been made to care for the passengers coming in to Phoenix and make wait at Mar icopa unnecessary. No 1, which leaves this city at 7:30 D. m. daily on arrival at Maricopa will be run back to Phoenix as soon as the main line train No westbound arrives The train will be run light back to Mari copa in time to make the daily morn- ing schedule. This plan will be dis pensed with upon the arrival of the two sleepers which are expected at any time.
 A WORK OF ART-The Santa Fe has now on the north wall of it's up- town offices fine picture of the fam GUS switchback and surrounding coun- thy. It is a photographic reproduc- ton, taken in three sections and print ed as one large photo. three feet high and nine feet in length. Nearly all of the switch backs can be plainly seen and the picturesqueness of six teen miles of country through which the railroad winds is shown with sur prising minuteness of detail. The pic ture attracts considerable attention and is one of the first things that meets the eye upon entering the office
 POLICE COURT-In police court yesterday two fighters were dealt with one fOrfeiting s7 bail and the other being discharged. Andy Garcia also paid s for being found drunk and asleep.

NO CARS.

Well the car investigation is over, but
but with all the railroad men who were
on the stand, not one reason was given
why the roads had failed to haul as
much wheat this fall as last season at
the same time. They talked about in
sufficient terminals, lack of cars, and
engines, and tried to blame the elevator
men and inspectors, but the one bald
fact still stands out in view of of every
observer, that the elevators at Duluth
and Minneapolis we're nearly empty all
this fall, when last year at the same
they were nearly filed.
Meantime, farmers have been compell-
ed to hold their wheat, merchants have
been unable to make collections, and
the margin between Minneapolis and
local elevators has been on an average
about six cents over legitimate figur-
es.
"Water, water, everywhere and not
drop to drink cried the Ancient
Mariner" There's cars enough every
where, but noEe to be loaded by North
Dakota farmers. 1t isn't the lack of
cars, but the getting of them. 1t might
be that there are not enough to supply
the full demand, but why are there
practically no cars at all?

think that they are going to take the
selection Of the county superintendency
from the voters, they should look back a
few years and find what happened to
the law that changed the election to a
separate election In June-"so as to get
it out OF politics"
But there is something far more ser
ious than all this in these RESOLUTIONS
of the teachers" # they are right,
then "politics" is wrong. They stig-
matise politics as sort of crime. They
assume association with politicians and
political bodies is sort of digrace.
That officials SO chosen are the products
of dishonesty, and that the people can
not be trusted to choose for themselves.
These men and women are employed by
us to teach the future citizens of this
republic. Is it this which they intend
to teach our sons and daughters?

Almost every week for several months
there has been some awful railway ac-
cident. The latest is at Washington
where half hurdred or more were
killed and twice as many wounded, this
week. Most of these accidents were
preventable. But there is altogether
too much dependence on human intell-
igeuce and care. Half the accidents
would not occur if proper mechanical
appliances were at hand. But these
cost money. It will not be many years
when all the trunk lines of the railroads
will be compelled to double-track and
use mechanical block systems. In fact
just now, while some roads in the east
and few in the west have block systems
yet there is nothing even in them to
prevent the engineer disobeying or neg
lecting to observe stop signals. We
think if the track were SO arranged that
any train that passed the block signals
contrary to instructions. would be run
off lhe track Immediately itself, would
perhaps make the engineer little more
thoughtful, and at any rate prevent him
running into the train ahead. Instead
of more extensions to railroads, we need
more parallel tracks, and to abolish
grade crossings.

CONFESS WEAKNESS.

The catalogue firm of Montgomery
Ward & Co. have brought suit against
the South Dakota Merchants Associa-
ton for interfering with their business.
The firm complain that they find it diff
ticult to buy goods from manufacturers,
because the merchants have induced
the manufacturers to refuse to sell to
catalogue houses. What the suit may
come to is question, but it is direct
admission of weakness on the part of
the M. w. firm, who on the otherhand
advertise that they can supply any
goods whatever at less rates than local
merchants, when as shown by this COM
plant, they cannot even buy goods
from many manufacturers.
The pure food laws are also making
hard lines for the catalogue people. OF
course when it comes tolegitimate goods
such concerns cannot sell any cheaper
than the local merchants, and is acknow-
lodged by them by the suit mentioned,
cannot always buy them, but
when it comes to poor grades of stuff
then they can make reduced rates.
+ The catalogue people can sell case of
tomatoes for 10 cents can alright, and
the local merchant may ask Is, but
after all the local price is the cheapest.
The difference is in the tomatoes.
Sometime people will learn that the
words of catalogue and nice picture
is very different proposition than the
goods themselves.

Some papers and perhaps some legis-
lators are talking of changing the time
of paying taxes. This is a thing that
has been before every legislature since
statehood and has been changed by about
half of them. We are not sure that the
present time as made by law for paying
taxes is just the best that could be
found (f we could make it some indefi-
mite time in the future it would suit
most people the best) but we think it a
far greater evil to be changing the date
about every year or two. There ought
to be two certainties to taxes-the other
one being that they have to be paid at
some time certain-every year.

A CLOSE CORPORATION

~ SAOSE NONF ONA llON
Our useful friends, the state "school
ma'ams,". we're in session at Fargo last
week and after considerable discussion
passed some resolutions relating to their
profession. Among these resolutions
was one favoring the "taking of the Of
fee Of county superintendent out Of
politics." theoretically that is good
idea. In fact it might be extended to
all elective effices for the same reasons
advanced. And then-we would be en-
tirely freed from that debasing element
of government.
But it seems queer that in the face of
the popular wave Of relegating all cleo
tion matters to.the common people, that
this great body of great teachers should
recommend that hereafter the people
should have no choice in the selection of
the one official, with whom more than
any other county officer they are brot
into personal contact in the discharge of
his duties. Instead Of direct election
at the primaries and at the polls, the
people are to select an educational
board who are to select the superinten-
dent.
Now this is flying in the face of pres
ent popular opinion and the Grand
Forks Herald in the most fragrant and
outrageous manner, and we leave them
to the tender mercies Of the latter for
adjucation, for certainly, convention
system of only five members must be
worse than the ordinary convention of
fifty to hundred red-proportioned to the
degree Of condensation.
We fear our friends of this most hon
orable profession are trying to form too
close q corporation. We don't for q
moment intend to impugn their motives
but we fancy that they are inclined to
work on theories rather than facts.
Theoretically, teaching should be a
profession. It should be body of men
and women trained and educated for a
life work. They should be well paid
and in proportion to the necessary
knowledge and ability as in other learn
ed professions like that Of doctor or q
lawyer.
The facts are that none OF these things
are true, and SO far as past experience
goes, never will be true.
To show how little theory and facts
go together, we may refer to . theoreti-
cal law or two now on the statute books.
One is that teachers wages must be at
least s45 per month. We will agree that
it ought to be 90, but we will also agree
and everybody knows, that compared
with other Aork wages, that a young
girl who has Just barely been able to
get . third grade certificate, eighteen
yaars Of age and teaching . school Of
half . dozen child dren the eldest Of whom
may be ten years Of age is getting moro
pay than she Is earning st that wages
in comparison, to other workers. Fur
thor, il she chooses to work for less she
could, and no Law on earth could make
her take more, and We don't believe
any law could compel The district to
pay more than shew was willing tof take.

GET ANOTHER CHANCE
What Cheer Boys Excused Because
of Tender Age.

Two young boys by the names of
Adams and Black were brought over
from What Cheer and arraigned be-
fore Federal Commissioner H. w.
Gleason, charged with robbing the
mails. Their ages were nine and thir-
teen and the oldest one was lately
sentenced to the state reform school
on another charge, but his sentence
suspended during good behavior. Dur
ing his talk with the officers on this
occasion he gave a clue as to his guilt
on the more serious charge, and a
careful investigation led to the dis
closure of his chum's guilt and later
both lads confessed
Several months ago they went to
the postoffice in the evening and put
ting their hands through the hole in
the door, took out letter from the
mail box and destroyed about 81 200
worth of drafts which it contained
They had surmised that the envelope
contained money and had taken it
out of the box with the deliberate in
tention of robbing it of its contents,
and, when disappointed in finding the
money in a shape useless to them, de-
stroyed it all and put the torn pieces
under tree,-where they were found
last week. When it was learned that
the letter never reached its destina-
tion, careful investigation was made
but no clue was obtained in regard to
the thief's identity until the boys ad-
mitted that they knew where the pieces
of the letter were.
Commissioner Gleason severely Gen.
sured the lads, but on account of their
tender years decided to be lenient
and give them another chance in life.
They were allowed to return home
without punishment.
