Antiquity Of the Gems s.

The idea of the census is almost as.
old as history itself. King Amasis Of
Egypt took census Of his people 500
years before Christ. The Athenian
solon established census for the pur-
pose Of facilitating taxation. We learn
that about 443 B. g. Servius julius
took a census Of Rome. During the.
chaos Of the dark ages the census drop
ped into oblivion, but was revived
again about the beginning Of the eight
eenth century.

GRADING IN TOWN
Town Trustees Will Have Company
Haul in Rock for Paving Main
Street at Same Time.

Roadmaster Flahaven has been
informed that a steam shovel
would arrive here about June 3 to
commence work on the long con-
templated Improvements at this
place, which include enlarging the
yards and moving the depot.
Along with this work will come
the filling of the slough between
the track and town, which will
grade up another street.
Mayor Alexander and the town
board are also taking up the pro-
position. in this connection, of
having Main street given a coating
of rock. The railway people will
deliver the rock at cost and the
town will put on teams to move it
from the head of the street. The
rock is fine shale and will grind
down nicely. 1t may make the
street little rough at first, but
with coating Of cinders on top
will give us as good as a paved
street at a very moderate cost.
Mr.. Flahaven is having a siding
put in just above Crossport where
the material will be secured.

DISPUTE OVER A WOLF STORY
Demands Square DeaF' and Pub
lie and Open ApOlogy.I

Demands Square DEAL and a Pub.
lie and Open Apology.i
'You base your recent charges chief
" on the matter of a big white wolf
killing young caribou by a bite in
the chest, described by me in North
ern Trails You declare the thing to
be u mathematical impossibility, and
declare by no possibility could a wolf
perform the feat
DR.. Long declares he knows from
his own observation and from the tes-
timony of Indians that wolves do some
times kill in this way, and then quotes
the signed and witnessed statement of
s. j. Hapidan, an educated Sioux In
dian, who states that he saw a horse
which a wolf had killed by tearing
its chest In addition to this Dr. Long
says he himself had seen a deer which
had been slain in this manner by
wolf, and further recites that his In
dian, Matty Mitchell, of Bonny Bay,
Newfoundland, declares that the big
white wolf frequently kills caribou in
this manner.
Continuing, DIR. Long says: ''These
are the facts underlying the incident
which you declare to be impossible and
false If this testimony is not enough
. I VIII fill it up to full Scripture meas
ure You cannot at this stage, Mr..
Roosevelt, take refuge behind the pres
idential office and maintain silence.
You have forfeited your right to that
silence by breaking it by coming out
| in public to attack g private citizen.
| If your talk of square deal is not all
a sham, if your frequent moral preach
| ing is not hypocrisy, l call upon you
as president and as man to come out
and admit the error and injustice OF
your charge in the same open and pub
| lie way in which you made IT."

Then Judge Dunno turned to Campbell

to do it alone. This court will not suf-
fer any further interference by associ-
ate counsel. I make the same ruling
with regard to the prosecution. One

side"
EX-Judge Fairall, of the defense, re-
sented the courts remarks, demand

it before the grand jury. He is not

The defense resisted the challenge
and this provoked Judge Dunno to re-
mark: HE Is a man personally inter

challenge is allowed" Blanchard stood

the police force is being used in an at

Special Agent Burns, who declared
that Mayor Schmitz is using the po-

purposes" The defense denied the
imputation that improper means were
being employed.
