talk. Let a man talk dull times
and it is infectious, everybody
talks dull times. Instead of rust
ling around and taking care of
what business there is, they all
go sit down and nope over dull

pento drop into one of these dull
tines stores he actually gets
frightened out of one half as much
as he expects to buy, because
things look so blue. He catches
the spirit of the store and re-
solves to hang on to all his money
with a death grip, even if his
business goes to piecs on account
of running short Of goods to fill

San Francisco, July 31.-Frederick

member of the New York stock g

He maintained expensive offices in

The habit of indulging in the
use of profane or obscene Ian
guage, says an exchange, is one
of the most nOnsensical habits a
human being ever acquired. No
man ever raised himself in the
estimation of saint and sinner by
the use of foul language. Purity
of thought and speech are valu-
able virtues. And yet, it is our
honest opinion that the man who
unwittingly s'cusses" little now
and then is not half so big a sin
ner as the fellow who continuous
Nv thinks evil and speaks evil of
his neighbours and refuses to pay
his honest debts upon the theory
that Jesus paid it all, all the debt
I owe. "If the pulpits of the land
would Ego after" the fellows who
refuse to pay their honest debts
and to love their wives and their
fellow men-"go after" them as
vigorously as they 60 after the
fellows who "cuss and chew to-
bacco," the true reformation of
the race might be nearer at hand.

Shot in Row over boo

Wahpeton-J. B. Lotzer. a local
wood and coal dealer, 1t is alleged,
shot a young man named Herman
Behlen, in front Of the postofice here.
He fired three shots, only n of
which took effect, inflicting a painful
though not serious wound in the wrist.
It appears that the two men have
had several quarrels and there has
been bad blood between them for the
last year or longer. Last October
Behlen was arrested for assault and
battery on complaint Of Lotzer and
was fined SO. Since then they have
had one or two quarrels. Harly in the
evening they had a few words over a
dog belonging to Lot8er. which, It is
said, Behlen threatened to kick; later
they met again in front Of the postof-
fee and . quarrel began. They soon
clinched, It is said. and Lotzer pulled
a revolver out Of his pocket and fred
the three shots. The men then
clinched again; bystanders separated
them and Lotzer vas taken into Gus

In 1906 North Dakota produced
Y, 600 bushels of wheat, more
than any other state in the spring
wheat belt and takes first rank
as a wheat producing state and
paid out more than $4,000 900 for

and yet we are to see far greater

bushel of that wheat should be
converted into -four within the

MacDowell.

Edward A. MacDowell has been hope
less physical and nervous wreck for more
than two years. and consequently the
admirers of his music have resigned them
selves to the thought that the store of
his productions would never be increased
His death, therefore. means no artistic
loss. however melancholy may be the
event MacDowePs work was finished
when he became ILL., Yet he had appar-
emily only begun his wonder working in
melody and harmony. He had struggled
against adversely, and his remunerations
were just beginning to recompense him
for his sacrifices. Compelled by necessity
TO remain at the grindstone of teaching
in order to earn a livelihood. he was
tightly fettered, and doubtless his COM
positions were consequently limited. Pad
erewski urged that MacDowell be en-
dowed with competence by the music
lovers of America, in order to ena BILE
him to continue his creative work un-
han:pered by the requirements of income
earning. NO more sincere tribute to the
mans genius could have been paid. But
MacDowell had suffered no greater priva-
tons than those through which Pad
erewski himself passed during his early
career. The great interpreter of music
is amply qualified to speak concerning
the sufferings undergone in the cause
of musical art Since the collapse of his
nervous system, MacDowell's friends and
admirers have been earnestly trying to
raise a fund for his maintenance, here
an1 there with gratifying success, but
on the whole in sad disproportion TO the
enjoyment which his music has given.

No Emergency" Track Bill Alone.

The people of Washington are anX-
ious for the earliest possible provision
of car tracks on the Union station
plaza. but they are not so anxious as
to be willing to have Congress pass
the emergency trackage bill first, to
be followed at some indefinite Gate by
the permanent measure. This is the
plan now proposed by the House Dis
trict committee. The Senate has man
aged to pass the combination perma-
nent and temporary trackagc bill. de-
spite the fact of opposition to its enact
ment without carrying general 1egisla-
ton. 1t has had no more time than the
House. which during the last session
took the initiative and sent practically
the same bill up to the Senate, only
to have the latter body neglect it to
the end of the term. Now the House
committee proposes to take little
more time for the consideration of GER
tain details. while putting the emer-
gency measure upon it's passage.
Even If the Senate were at once to
accept the House bill in lieu of its
own-assuming it's passage through the
House-sO little time would De saved
that the advantage would be of doubt
full value to the public. To be sure, the
submission of a favorable report on
the emergency measure now opens the
way to action by the House next Mon
day, lnasmuch as the time consumed
in considering the permanent routes
to be laid down may throw that bill
over for two weeks, to the next Dis
trict day. But there Is no assurance
that the immediate passage by the
House of bill radically differing from
that just passed by the Senate, and
not in the form of amendment-sub-
stitute for that measure. will result in
any saving, since the House bill must
go through the mill in the Senate as a
new proposition.
Far better would 1t have been for
the House committee either to hasten
the consideration of the permanent
trackage bill, or to postpone action on
the emergency bill until it was ready
in all details. The people of Washing
ton are willing that the overhead troll
ley should be thrust into the plaza as
makeshift provision, but they want
it's term distinctly limited in the very
act of its authorization, and they are
perfectly willing to endure little de-
lay in order that this legislation shall
be framed properly and safely.
