"MOonshiners."

Following is true account Of the
experiences Of certain Chicago otfi-
cial while enjoying (?) his only yaca
tion. David M. Hyland is the officials
name and for manv years he filled the
office Of chief operator In the fire
alarm telegraph in that city. In all
those years Mr.. Hyland took only one
vacation-that was eight years ago,
when he went to New York to buy
horses. lie had such an experience
with mOonshiners who mistoOk him
and his party for revenue officers that
he never cared to leave Chicago again.
When Mr.. Hyland went into Ken
tucky to buy horses, according to one
of his friends in the fire alarm office,
he learned Of string of thorough
breds IN the mountains. He started
over the mountains, but hadn't gone
far when he and his party were cap
tured by moonshners and kept for
several days in a cave with little or
nothing to eat.
The moonshiners finally accepted
the explanation of the Illinois men
that they had gone into the wild
region to buy horses and released
them, but they were allowed to pro-
ceed to their destination only under
escort OF two men, one of whom re-
mained constantly with them. The
other mOuntaineers went on ahead
half days journey. The party was
allowed to look at the horses, but not
to take them away. Arrangements
were made to deliver them at town
by the mountaineerss and the horses
were there at the appointed time.
Often when anyone would drop into
the fire alarm office Mr.. Hyland would
tell the story OF the mountain trip and
how they got their whiskey by leaving
couple Of jugs, with silver dollar
under each of them. about 100 yards
out Of camp, After time they would
go back and find the jug filed.
A very interesting story has been
written dealing with these peculiar
people entitled "The MooonslIiner
Daughter" which with a carload Of
special scenery comes to the Loveday
Opera House, TONIGHT.

Famous Play Coming.

Amo the famous plays to be seen
here this season is the Two Orphans
which will be.played at Loveday Opera
House, Tuesday, Aug. 2oth, by new
company especially engaged for this
revival of the drama by Fred G.. Con-
rad, the owner and manager of a
number OF successful productions. Mr..
Conrad has fortunately been able to
secure the services OF a number of
actors who have made name for
themselves in the celebrated char
acters OF this play and we may ex-
pect to see the poor blind girl finely
impersonated, as we'll as her beautiful
and devoted sister, the crippled Pierre
and the brutal Frochard. Manager
Conrad has obtained the only author
ized KateClaxton version Of the play,
the one she used in making the part
of the ktind girl, herself and the play
celebrated throughout this Country.

"a Fool Law"

The Washington correspondent of
the Grand Rapids Press writing on
the change in the Michigan trout
fishiog law opening the season fifteen
days earlier and closing it on August
Is instead of September l, states that
fish experts in Washington the change
a "fool law" and The fishermen up In
this territory are inclined to agree
with the experts in Washington.
BY op~ning the season earlier, tie
fish are taken right in the middle of
the spawning season when they are
easily caught and are not desirable as
food. In addition TO this. in this
region, the weather is generally cold
and disagreed Die in April, the streams
are high and there Is no pleasure IN
fishing. But what is more important,
by taking fish during the spawning
period, the streams are more rapidly
depleted.
AS for closing the season at the
height of vacation time, that is an
other piece of folly. Judging by this
new law, the men who framed it we're
never guilty Of wandering along a
stream with rod and reel What
the idea was in changing the season
is not known and probably never will
be, but 1T was somebody's whim and
went through.
There was plenty Of real work,
work that would have done some
good, that could have been dcne on
the game laws, but the legislature in
its wisdom didn't see fit to do it.
As this is an article on the game
fishes of Northern Michigan, we will
say nothing about the brifiancy, fore
sight and judgment in extending the
spring killing for wild ducks, but that
is as bad as the fish law If not worse.

Primary Tuesday.
Turn Out and Vote for

Next Tuesday will be the Primary
Election of Delegates to the Constitus
tiOnal Convention, and we wish to
urge the voters Of this section to turn
out and cast a vote for Attorney l.. f.
knowles Of B0yne City. This gentle
man is Charlevoix County's candidate
and we want this county represented
in the Convention. Three delegates
are to be nominated out of a list of
six candidates. Atty Knowles, we
believe, stands a better chance of
winning out than any one OF the other
delegates. This county will of course
support him, but this is not enough
Every man who possibly. can do so
should cast thtr vote for Mr.. Knowles
GA that day. Don't be ''stay-at-
home," but go to the polls and vote,
making the majority as large as pos
Sible.
We need some young blood in this
convention and Atty l.. +. knowles
is the man. A graduate from lit
terary course. supplemented by pro-
fesSional course, from the state
University, and trained by eight
years ot active business and profess
sional life since finishing his college
course. More than ordinarily sue
cessful in both; clean, competent,
honorable, and an energetic and
painstaking worker, with an active
and brilliant mind, thoroughly ia
miliar with professional, business and
social affairs, an ardent republican in
principle, but unhampered by any past
political affiliations. We urge his
nomination as delegate because he
is young, educated, energetic, compe-
tent, and because he represents this
element or the inhabitants of the
state from which eminate new
thought, fresh energy and good citi-
Zenship.

First, that there is absolutely no
food or fuel famine in any portion of
North Dakota, but on the contrary a
large portion of the state, practically
the entire western section thereof, is
abundantly supplied with native lig-
mite coal, used exclusively by the resi-
dents of all portions of the state,
and easily accessible. That said coal
may be procured any day upon the
streets of most towns and cities with

with the exception of a county or two
roads for service.
G. Second, that there is no food famine
in any section of the state, and no
suffering is existing among the people
thereof, but on the contrary there is
abundant provisions of every kind and
nature for all the people of the state
and in every portion thereof; that
there is no loss of live stock in any
portion of the state, and so far as the
Investigations have extended, they
have shown that it was unnecessary
to feed range live stock, including,
horses, cattle and sheep; but on the
contrary such stock in large area of
the state have been and are now graz
ing on the open range, and in other
portions of the state ample forage is
provided for all stock.
That the investigations disclose that
there has been, and now is, absolutely
no necessity for aid of any kind to be
extended to new settlers in the state;
but on the contrary, all new settlers
are comfortably housed and have
abundance of food and fuel, and pos
sess every appearance of present and
permanent prosperity, and that con-
trary reports given circulation are
without foundation and do great in
justice to the state.

POLK COUNTY WAS
ONE TO START
FIGHT
Against the Great Northern
Commissioners Took the
Matter Up.

In view Of the recent action begun
by the attorney general in the nature
of quo warranto proceedings looking
to the forfeiture of the charter of
st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba
Railway company because of the fact
that said railway company having leas
ed it's right Of way, rolling stock and
appurtences to the Great Northern
Railway company, and ceased to oper-
ate a railway, has forfeited its rights
to such charter, 1t might be interesting
to the readers Of this paper to learn
that as far back as December, 1895, a
movement was started In this county
to attain the same end. AS Is we'll
known the fact that the lands held for
sale by the st. Paul, Minneapolis &
Manitoba Railway company in this val
ley were exempt from taxation was a
source of considerable complaint, and
the commissioners of Polk county in
December 1895, finding no legal method
Of enforcing taxes against such lands,
as matters then stood, in casting about
for a means to attain the desired end
the chairman of the county board at
that time Henry Norland, employed
Attorney Martin O'Brien, of Crokston
to devise, II possible, plan whereby
these lands might be made subject 10
taxation. The supreme court had held
that under the Crookston charter Of
the st. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba
Railway company the lands were ex-
empt. Mr.. O'Brien advised the COM
missioners that the only way in his
opinion to get at the question would
be for the attorney general to COM
mence proceedings in behalf Of the
state to cancel the charter of that road
on the ground that 1t had ceased to
perform the functions for which the
charter was granted.

Sen. TAYLOR SAYS
THERE IS A
LIMIT
To the Absortive Power of the
Formative Brain-Against
New Measure.

Senator J. D. Taylor, of Grand
Forks, in an interview at Bismarck,
said: II am not disposed from a
physicians standpoint, as we'll as from
a standpoint of expediency and of the
best interests of the public schools,
to favor the proposed compulsory
course in agriculture and nature study
in those schools.
while it is an admitted fact that
knowledge is an attainment we would
have all children acquire, yet there is
a limit to the absortive power of for
native brain such as is possessed by
the child. Already the course of study
prescribed taxes its receptive abilities
to such an extent that it weighs heav-
lily upon the nervous system, and one
conversant with the facts will even
now have already observed that as
the term progresses many children
show unmistakeable symptoms of ner-
vous instability, as manifested in loss
of appetite, sleeplessness, and lack Of
ability to concentrate the mind, all
being symptoms of neurasthenia,

manent injury to the nervous system.
"This overcrowding is already con-
tributing dts force toward making this
nation-as It has been already classed
"a nation of neurasthenians. While
everything is being done to conserve
the physical and develop the muscular
power of the child, those efforts are
too often Offset by neglecting the ner-
vous system, and the process of over
taxing the brain is already in evil
dence. While the muscular and ner-
vous systems are distinct and separate
the one is always dependent on the
other and overtaxing either acts rs
an injury to both. Conservatism In
adopting new studies is needed, and
We cannot begin too early to curtail
the already overcrowded course of
study for children"
