MUST PAY STATE TWO PER CENT
ON LIQUOR LICENSES.

A decision has been rendered by
Judge Flaherty in the case Of the city:
of Morris VS.. State of Minnesota, =
which was case to test the validity
of the law passed by the state
legislature last year, by which the
cities, villages and counties are to
turn in to the state 2 per cent Of their
collections from the sale of liquor
licenses, for fund to be raised fol:
the esta blishment and maintenance Of
a hospital farm for inebriates, in
which be upholds the constitutionality
of the law. Although many Of the
cities had already complied with the
new law, Morris contended that it was
unconstitutional on the point that it
in effect taxed the property of the
municipality This the state denied.
There is now every reason to believe
that there will be no further trouble
in having the municipalities comply
with the flag farm law as it is com
monty termed.

ARTHUR DIDN'T ENLIST.

Arthur Harrison is in the limelight
again He left this city Saturday,
presumably for visit with his uncle
at Saltwater, but instead went to
Brainerd While there he secured a
soldiers suit for a recruiting officer,
and claimed to different ones that he
had re-ni1isted and was now recruit
ing officer, and that he was looking
after deserters, having captured one
and killed another one at Ft. Ripley
I A. D. harrison, the boys father,
Wednesday, =, was notified by a
Brainerd bank, that a check had been
drawn on him, and they wished to
know if 1t was good. This was the
first notice that Mr.. Harrison had that
Arthur was in Brainerd, and he
telephoned the authorities to hold
him, and an officer was sent up from
here, and returned with him Wednes-
day and he is now being held. It
transpires, however, that the check
was drawn by Arthur on himself.
It is thought that Arthur had been
drinking, which might be responsible
for his acts, although he has always
been more or less lncorigible It is
likely that the boy is not right
mentally.
Mr. Harrison is at loss what to do
with the boy at the present time.
It is probable he will be taken
before Judge Shaw for examination
today.

This story really happened. A
negress in a New York court was
acquitted by a jury Of stealing $40,
and the Judge, before discharging
her, thought it well to give her a
little advice, as it was evident that he
was not quite as sure of her innocence
as the jurymen. He told her never to
put herself in such a position again,
and she said that she never would, and
added that this was the first time she
had stolen anything, anyway.
