The Silent Corean Eride--Wonan That
f:. Kept Her Oath.
The Corean woman who speaks or
even mods on her wedding day imme-
ditely becomes an object of ridicule
and loses caste Neither threat nor
prayer must move her, for the whole
household is ever on the alert to
catch single muttered syllable. Her
period of silence often lasts for a
week or more, and when complete ST
lence is broken she only uses her
tongue for the most necessary uses.
Some sixty years ago native OF
Pennsylvania undertook, for wager
OF 80 pounds, to remain mute for the
first month OF her marriage. Her hus.

only to return later when he was alp.

Ience. .
A Brussels couple named Dupont
quarreled so bitterly on their wedding
day that the wife vowed that her hus.
band should never hear her voice
again. His entreaties went for moth.

the letter Of her oath.
A Brunn woman whose husband was
in hiding from the authorities mad
vertently betrayed his whereabouts to
a police spy. AS a result the man was

this misfortune brought about by her
gossip, that she resolved to remain
mute to the end Of her life.

Attorney General McCue has pre-
pared the applications for writs in
the supreme court of the state to
determine whether or not lie two
cent mileage book provision of the
maximum rate law can be enforced.
The action was taken after the rail
road commission reported to-. the
attorney general the fact that the
provision of law in question was
not IN effect and that the railroad
companies would not put it into eff
feet until the matter had been de
termined in the courts. ysss.7 Il
The commission took the matter
up with the roads at st. Paul as
soon as it was possible to do SO af-
Ter the law went into effect and the
state held the opinion that the state
could not compel issuance of a spec
Ial form of ticket and that until the
matter was tested, they would not
put the mileage books on sale, al

clacking5 of a few pseudo reformers.
notably Packard OF the Val

has sought to crafty a
few personal animosities and vent a
little spleen, the commission brought
the matter to the attention of the
attorney general through the proper
channels and in the proper time,
and the attorney general prepared
his case with care that is seldof ex-
scercised in the preparation of the

The bringing or rate case is not
TO be approached without little
preparation and the trial of it will
be attended with considerable ex-
pense of time and money in the
gathering of facts and figures as to
the rates that railroad justly
may charge for passenger fares.
The railroad commission is seeing
fairly and reasonable to enforce the
laws past by the last session and
except in those matters where they
feel that there is legitimate ground
for a difference of opinion, the rail
roads are putting the laws into eff.
feet. The people of the state, we
believe, will in the end come to

N The Grand Forks Herald, which
where its prejudices are not CON
cerned. is usually fair, admits that
the arguments before the state
board of equalization in favor Of as
sessing railroad roperty AT the same
proportion OF its real valuation as
other property, are unassaiiable.
Inc Tribune has taken this same
stand. The Herald goes further ami;
says that in the past it has been
said that railroad property was as
sesssd at a lower proportion Of its
value than other property and this
was an injustice. @ss5.= (
The Tribune does not believe the
Herald Endorses past statements
1nat this was the case. The rail-
roads last year were assessed at the
same figure as this year by a re-
publican administration and board.
The proportion Of value was about
the same as now. But much capital
was made in re campaign over rail-.
road assessment. 1t was urged that
The state board should have disre.
gardsd the figures Of assessors as to
other property and put railroad prop
erty ON It's real value basis. The
United States supreme court says
this cannot be done. Inasmuch
ahe supreme court Is still conside--

OF the decisions repeatedly filed. So

2l9O VICTIMS OF THE FOURTH
Statistics of Casualties Caused
by Excess of Patriotism.
Fhirty-seven Men, Women and Chill
dren Are Dead and Thousands
Manned For Life.
Chicago.-The Tribune says:

ooJos
"T~hirty-seven men, women and
children are dead and 2153 are
manned, lacerated or burned, owing
to excess of patriotism in the United
States on the Fourth. The number
of the dead does not include five
drowned during the day.
"The roster of the dead is four
more than last years mortality. A
year ago thirty-three persons were
dead on the morning after the
Fourth, not including five drowned.
Unfortunately, the death roll will
increase day by day, and even the late
days of August will witness additions
to it. Tetanus, that grim aftermath
of g%unpowder wounds, claims it's vic
tins by scores, and even by hundreds,
for weeks after the Fourth.
Chicago, although the second city
of the country, added only two dead
to the nations total. Springfield,
ILL.,, supplied three victims. Chat
ham, ILL.,, two, and Aberdeen, S. D.,
two. No other town or city in the
country gave up more than one of its
own to death.
THE total number of injured,
1853, is under last years figures,
which were 27S9. The figures show
that this year, as last, the most of
the casualties were due to careless
ness in handling frecrackers and
other forms of harmless explosives.
Victims of gunpowder this year stand
second in number, but show a marked
decrease from last years figures.
"The crusade against the deadly
toy pistol seems to be bearing fruit,
as this year only 205 victims are re.
ported, as against 304 last year"

NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS
Jersey Getting Bad Meat,

Chief Food and Drug Inspector
George w. Mcguire said at Trenton
that New Jersey was getting worse
meat since the beginning of the Fed
eral inspection than before, for the
reason that the cattle now rejected
by the Government inspectors at the
Jersey killing plants were killed by
small slaughter houses and served
up to the people for home consump-
ton. Mr.. Mcclure says that the So
called Meat Inspector appointed by
the local Boards of Health cannot
tell good from bad meat when that
meat is dressed. The killer strips
evidences of tuberculosis from the
meat, but the seeds of disease are
there running through the blood and
the tissue.
