Can Demand Fees

An important ruling was made by
Judge Amidon in federal court at Fargo
last week which will have its effect on
land contest cases. The judge stated
that if''the United States. land officials ex-
pect to get conviction where the wit
nesses fail to appear before them when
summoned, they must inform the wit
nesses about their rights to fees.
The rule in land COMETS is that when
a man is summoned to appear before
any land Office as a witness in a land
contest case, he has a right to demand
fees covering his travelling and other
expenses before answering the summons
and if the fees are not forth coming, he
can refuse to comply with the summons.
This decision was made in connecti on
with a sentence in the case of Peter
Togaard. a Ward county homesteader.
who pleaded guilty to a charge that he
failed to appear at the Minot land Office
when subphonaed in a land contest case.
Togaard maintained that he was 6nan-
cially unable to obey the summons. Had
he known Of the ruling, he could have
demanded his fees before leaving home
and thus had the money for his expenses.
He was fined ST.

Mrs. H. o. Baker. the wife of the
well known ranchman rear Rhame, met
death under peculiar circumstances last
week. She was found dead in a well
on a neighboring farm. about half a
mile from Mr.. Bakers ranch.
She had gone over to the house about
two o'clock the preceding afternoon and
in crossing q small draw, had stepped
on the covering of a well which was
covered with snow and fell through.
Mr.. Baker returned home at night and
found the door locked. He was not
alarmed. thinking she had gone to a
neiehbor's but when several Hours passed
he became alarmed and began to seacrh
for her.
After much search, the body. wat
found by the tracks in the snow. She
was found standing in about three fee
of water. An examination revealed
that death was instantaneous and duo
to the shock.

Rip Van Wrinkle

AS good as his father, Joseph Jeffer.
son, was the popular verdict of Thomas
Jefferson's work in the character of Rip
Van Wrinkle at the Dickinson opera
house Monday evening. At any rate
the attraction will rank well with the
other high class productions which
MANAGERS Reichert & Ray are Offering
their patrons this winter. The acting
of all the leading parts was exception
ally good and the play pleased all.
The part of Rip Van Wrinkle is a clas-
sic of American drama. 1t is a play
that is never old and the lovable charac-
ter Of the shiftess but good hearted Rip
never fails to draw tears and laughter.
Thomas jefferson gave a mastery in
%terpretaton of his famous fathers great
part. It was almost perfect and there
was never a minute while he was on the
stage when the closest attention of all
was not commanded.
Jefferson was especially good in the
last two acts. the awakening from the
sleep of 20 years duration. Second
place in the honors should 30 to Rosalie
De Veaux as the wife Gretchen. At all
times she handled her part like a true
artist. giving just the right personal
touches. 1t was a part full of appeal TO
the heart aud even in her vixenish
moods and in the terrifying displays
of temper, the good side of her nature
was visible.
The two juveniles, Oscar johnson and
Gladys Egan were both clever little
people and delighted all. The other
parts were. without exception, in the
hands of capable people.

Big Catalogue Out

H. Will & Co., the Bismarck seedmen,
is now printed and being mailed. Or
the front page is a beautiful ~lithograpf

picture of all the garden vegetable.
raised in the northern states. On thu
inside pages of the cover are half tone
views of the Will seed store, the nursery
on the bottoms, and the Northern Pacific
depot and grounds.
There are many half-tone cuts of the
various vegetables and flowers as well
as electrotypes. 1t is printed on bool
paper and is a highly calendered book.
1t required 10 tons and 800 pounds
of paper and 500 pounds of ink for the
125, 600 catalogues printed. There were
1. 200. 600 impressions of press work. Il
will cost 81, 500 for the postage necessary
to mail them.
This job has been handled by the
Tribune while doing the regular work
of the Office. The seed company has q
force at work which gets about II. 000
books a day ready for mailing. These
figures give some idea of the magnitude
of the business of the seed company. II
expects to do a larger business than ever.
1t also gives some idea of the equip
ment of the Tribune office. A new
building has recently been completed
and the Tribune now has one If the

tally adapted for handling big jobs like
this.

N. F.. Surveyors

During the past week the Northern
Pacific surveyors moved into Mott.
Their next move will be to Horswill and
the last move will be to New England.
This looks like a railroad sur enough
up the Cannon Ball the following spring.
So far the officials have given no def
mite indications of their plans west of
New England.
Those in a position to know say that
grading will be commenced as early in
the spring as the weather will permit.
Of the work of the N. P. surveyors
the Mott Pioneer says:
THE crew has been working on a
preliminary, mostly. but started on the
locating survey last Monday. From a
point on section 6-143-90, the Tom
Drury homestead, the line will run
across Chamberlain and Peterson's land,
then across the Morris Little place, a
short distance south of the Risty home
stead, across the Ellertson farm, due
south. thence just south of the Bannon
farms, northwest and across the Chase
ranch, onto section s. east of Mott and
into Mott cutting IS in twain. The
line then uns out northwest as hereto
fore published, headed for Horswill, and
will cross either north or south of Hors-
will, between sections IS and 31-135-94,
thence along a straight line into New
England.

Christian Science Moni-
tor

The Press is in receipt of several
copies of the Christian science Monitor,
the new daily paper published at Bos-
ton, Mass. under the direction of the
Christian Science Publishing Co. The
aim of the editors is to publish a daily
paper with all the news that is good,
pure and wholesome, leaving out all
sensational and tragic events.
The following appreciation from
the Chicago Journal sums the paper up
in a nut shell:
THE initial number is we'll typed,
well printed and easy to read. 1t con-
tains the news of the day from all
parts of the world, put up in attractive
form. detailed market reports and
special features for the home.
A noticeable departure is in devoting
the third page to football and general
athletics. Such prominent featuring
shows that Christian Science approves
clean, manly sports.
The editorial page is diversified, deal
ing with national, International and
local matters in a bright interesting
fashion, and the whole paper is
thoroughly readable. without possessing
any of the features which are some
times cited against the admission of
certain dali les to the home.
The advertising columns are patro-
nized by leading Boston stores, automo-
bile concerns and banks. The Monitor,
taken all in all, is a highly creditable
journalistic effort, and Bay State edi-
tors will do well to look to their laurels.' y

Interesting Contest

A contest that. required two days to
take the testimony was held before the
register and receiver at the u. S. land
Office on Saturday and Monday.
In the early summer Louis Tobias,
the local cigar manufacturer, filed on a
homestead near Midway in Billings
county. The land in question is also
claimed by Lundre La Lunde by virtue
of a water right. or reservoir. which La
Lunde claims to have built and main
tanned according to law.
There seemed to be plenty of evidence
on both sides of the controversy and it
will soon be a question for the govern
ment officials in Washington to decide.
Those who have watched the outcome of
similar contests where the evidence was
almost identical the decisions were just
the reverse. The experts who examine
the testimony have a wonderful faculty
of determining the party who is acting
in good faith and such a party is gen.
orally given the preference. In some
cases both parties may be acting in
good faith and then the prior title is
very likely to be held good.
John Peterson, Anton Kolstadt, Frank
Chaska, and Mr.. Roberts were among
the number of witnesses.
MIR. Tobias intended to 60 east Sunday
evening but could not get away until
Tuesday night. H. C. Berry was
attorney for La Lunde, while G. A. Nc
Farlane and T. F. Murtha looked after
Mr.. Tobias interests.

Tilt CIRCUS PARADE
 10 BE AN tYE OPENER
The Show People Found That It Was An Indispensable American lnstitu- ton.

The small boy who IS awaiting the coming of the circus is certainly tick led over one thing. and that is that the Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on Earth will give parade here next Monday morning. And such a parade as it is going to be! You ought to hear the circus man who is in town talking about it.
 There is no secret of the fact that the circus managers a few years ago tried to relegate the street parade to the dim and misty past. It was source of great expense and trouble, and the question was ever open to dis cussion, Did it pay for itself?"
 The idea of dispensing with the par ade came to the Barnum and Bailey people about five years ago while the big shows were touring EurOpe) In several cities it was found impossible to give the parade It was noticed that the omission had absolutely no effect on business. As an experiment the parade was cut out and with such excellent results that all of the parade features were shipped back to the winter quarters in Connecticut. As the scheme of dispensing with the parade worked so well abroad it was decided to try the experiment here. If it would work # meant an enormous saving Hundreds of horses could be dispensed with and the richly carved and massive floats and chariots would be unnecessary. But the experiment caused howl of disaDDrOval. Mer- chants kicked and so did hotel and restaurant keepers. There was much adverse editorial comment in the small cities, but still the circus men perse- vered, hoping to wear it down.
 At the annual meeting of the circus managers last fall the first thing taken up was the question of the parade and without any ado it was decided to re- store it on a bigger and costlier scale than ever In the short discussion of the matter one of the managers said that the street parade was part and parcel of the circus itself and that even in the early days of the circus in Rome the gladiators used to show themselves to the poDulace before entering the arena.
 From its description the parade this season will be a real eye-opener. All of the floats and chariots are new and in all of the big cities in which it has been seen it has received much praise,

His hand and legs then had big sores on them and as for his sleeping, we could not think of it, the poor little. fellow suf- fered so terribly. First 1 tied his hands to the crib to keep him from scratching, but when it got so bad l tied him in a shawl or he would scratch himself all bloody. When he was seven months old we tried a set of the Cuticura Remedies. The first application of Cuticura let him sleep and rest well, in one week the sores were gone but 1t stayed red and sometimes it would itch so we used Cuticura for two months, then he had a clear and white face. Now he is two years and seven months old and has never had eczema again. l hope this letter will help some who are suffer- ing from skin disease.
