COMES UP TODAY.
Famous Creighton Will Suit Was Call.
cd Today mt Omaha, Neb,


ed Today mt Omaha. Neb.
Omaha, Neb., March 16.-Aggressive
fighting plans are boing made by sew
en- nephews and nieces of the late
Count John A. Creighton, who were
not mentioned in his will, and an at
tempt will be made to break the in
strument. Attorneys have been re-
tanned and fight will be made against
probate proceedings.
The amount left by Count Creighton
is estimated at S7,500,OOO, one-fourth
being bequeathed to. relatives and
three-fourths to charitable and educa-
tional institutions. An attempt had
been made to settle the matter out of
court, the heirs all contributing to
fund with which to buy off the disin-
herited kinsmen, but the plan failed.
The case comes up today.
Gigantic-key 1886 1913
Portland, Ore, March ia ness
age to the Grcgorian from Lewiston,
Idaho, says:
Hints from Boise as to startling land
fraud disclosures at Lewiston tend 10
confirm reports from authentic sourc-
es that the government has for year
considered the land frauds in Idaho
more gigantic than in either Oregon,
Montana or Washington, and that it
is the intention Of the government to
sift them to the bottom, bringing guilty
one to trial and then bring re-entrance
proceedings. after conviction. TO Sc
cure re-possession Of the lands fraud
alently secured from the United States.
This latter step will mean great f.
nancial loss and perhaps absolute ruin
to private individuals and banking in
situations which are or have been, it
is asserted, directly or Indirectly con-
nected with the handling or owner
ship OF lands said to have been fraud
alently acquired. 1t is known that
the few indictments secured at Mos
cow ut the last two terms of court
are but a beginning. There are, it Is
said, other indictments to follow which
are to bring into the pale of the law
men high in all walks of life and
whose names so far have not been
even suggested.
1t is asserted that evidence has been
secured which when prosecuted in
court will prove astounding to the
general public.

THE SHAMROCK.

The Irish as a people have been
scattered to the uttermost ends of
the earth. But no matter where they
are tomorrow the shamrock, or some
thing which typifies that emblem of
the fairest isle upon which the sun
has ever shone, will decorate the
breast of every son and daughter of
the land which has given the world
an O'Connor and an Emmett The
nations of the earth will clasp hands
with Ireland in bestowing upon the
patron saint of that country the hon.
age which the people for whom he
lived and labored have given him for
centuries. The wearing of the green
Is no longer the distinctive mark of
those who celebrate the natal day of
Ireland's religious benefactor. 1t be-
longs to every one who respects the
high integrity and admires the sturdy
manhood of one of the noblest races
Of mankind.
The legends surrounding ST. Pat
rick are shrouded in the mystic clouds
of centuries. Whether he lived and
died as the legends say matters little
1t is the high and noble attributes
which he represents that are COM
memorated rather than the man.
Around the day and the principles
which it represents the Irish people
assemble the same patriotic devotion
that We give to the memory of our
own Washington or Lincoln. But the
memory of St. Patrick possesses in
addition to the Implication of home
and native land the most sacred VEN
Grafton for the religion of the people.
They base this veneration upon the
fact that st. Patrick after having
served as a slave in the island and
having become a monk, returned to
the land which had so unkindly treat
ed him before and began mission
airy work which resulted in the es-
tablishment OF the present church
with all the fidelity to it which has
ever marked the religious devotion
OF the people of Ireland.
The wearing of the green tomorrow
then means not only proclamation
to the world that the wearer is still
loyal in memory to the land from
which he or his ancestors came, but
that the religious principles which
were first promulgated by the saint
whose day he celebrates are a part
OF his life and that he is as, loyal
to that religion as he is to the mem
DRY of home and fatherland. This
is why everyone respects the wearer
of the shamrock and why so many
who are not the sons and daughters
OF Ireland join in the celebration.

FATHER OF PROHIBITION
Excellent Program Given on Friday
Afternoon in Honor of
Neal Dow.

The w. c. r. u. met at the residence
of Mrs. Fred Darlington, 321 Walnut
street Friday afternoon. The program
was in commemoration of Neal BOWS
birthday.
Neal Dow was born in Portland.
Me-, 1904, died 1897. He is called the
father Of prohibition in America. He
was the author of the bill which pro-
hibited the manufacture and sale of
intoxicating liquors in the state OF
Maine, widely known as the "Maine
law"
There was a good attendance at the
meeting. After the devotionals led
by Mrs. Currie reading from the life
and sayings of Neal Dow was given
by Mrs. DeRemer A reading by Mrs.
Hewitson What prohibition has done

ton to do so, and in it abolished
passes and fixed the rate OF passenger
travel at two cents per mile. But the
fact that he is an Ishmaelite and
knows nothing of men made defeat in
its most humiliating form certain. He
believed probably that the senate
would amend his bill so that it would
fix the rate at two and half cents
and then he would be able 10 say,
as could his adherents also. that he
was forced by the senate to accept
that rate or get nothing.
But the scheme failed. and the sem
ate realizing probably that an attempt
was being made to create political
capital, accepted the two cent rate
and while it struck out the anti-pass
feature, it took the house otherwise
at its word and placed Mr.. White in
the ridiculous position of repudiating
his own legislation White was forced
to amend his own measure 10 make
it two and a half cents instead of
two as he had so loudly proclaimed
he would give the state.
One of two conclusions is inevita-
BILE in the light OF the passenger rate
development with such men as Mr..
White. Either the railroads were in
control of the situation so thoroughly
that they could secure whatever con-
cessions and advantages they desir-
ed, or the people of the state realiz-
ing the humbuggery of the whole po-
litical play and understanding that
, such legislation meant the cessation
| of railroad building in the newer
parts of the state with the consequent
| retarding of the development Of hese
sections, so vehemently protested
| against the freak legislation proposed
by Mr.. White and the few who were
left to follow him in the last days
OF the session, that he was forced 10
sit up and take notice.
At any rate it is we'll for the peo-
pie of the state to understand that
when they had the opportunity TO do
so the railroad reformers in the house
refused to stand by their own declar-
atoms, repeatedly made on the stump.

WHO'S WHO IN GRAND FORKS, NO. 3.
BARDl G. SkuLASON.

The reader sees in the accom-
panying caricature the features of
a member of the Old Settlers assoc
citation and the aggressive and en-
ergeuc lawyer to whose efforts
must solely be credited the form
ing OF the association which has
for its purpose the purchase OF an
old Morse library for the state uni
versity. most valuable adjunct to
an institution of learning in this
section of the country, where live
so many of Scandals sons and
daughters. There are few men of
prominence in the state who do
not know the subject OF todays
sketch, for is it not a fact that Mr..
Skulason for the past fourteen
years has given up a valuable por-
ton OF his time to politics? In
1876 he became IL resident of this
state. In 1895 he graduated from
the state university. member OF
one of the early classes. In 1S96-97
he was principal of schools Of Tow
err City and at Hillsboro. He first
commenced the practice of law in
Grand Forks ten years ago. Be-
sides his large practice in the state
and federal courts, Mr.. Skulason
finds time to assist the young idea
to shoot, he being lecturer in the
state university law college on
private corporations. AS assistant
states attorney he is faithful
public servant and at the same
time a brilliant luminary in the
legal profession OF the state.

He's All Right. Z.
(Braddock Ncws.)

One OF the men from the slope who
has made an excellent record among
his fellow members OF the house is
Representative Streeter of Emmons
county. Coming to the legislature about
as rabid a stalwart as ever came over
the pike-and he hasn't changed his
sentiments much-his fairness and his
independence has won. him many
friends in the ranks of those who diff
fered politically from him and he will
have the satisfaction of going home
with the good will of every member
OF the house. Mr.. Streeter is the only
printer in the house and upon him
came the burden of looking after the
interests of the craft, and this duty
he has done well and with justice and
consideration to all concerned SO many
of those newspapers who fired hot
shot at the man from Emmons during
the past two years on account of the
libel law, owe him a vote of thanks
for services rendered

AFTER RUBBER MERCHANTS.
Chief Lowe Has Instructed Police
Force to Watch For MiScrpantS.

About this time every year when the
snow is beginning to lay bare the
high spots in the back yard the old
bottle and rubber merchants begin to
make themselves known. Rubbers
bring a good price now and it is
favorite practice Of the so-called mer-
chants to prowl around the back doors
and pick up anything that looks like
rubber whether cast off or pur-
chased from the store the day before.
The police force is out with the
evil eye for such offenders but it is
good practice nevertheless to keep the
rubbers inside the shed during the
supper hour.
