rious Exploits.

Winnipeg, Man. = The MARQUIS,
which for 20 years has been lying on
the banks of the North Saskatchewan
river at Prince Albert, one of the old
est towns in western Canada, was
famous in more ways than one.
In the days Of exploration the boat
used to ply the waters from the town
where 1t now lies into Lake Winnipeg,
then down the Red river and east to
ports where the Hudson Bay company
obtained its supplies. The old water
wheels which used to do so much serv-
Ice are now rotting away and more
modern boats have taken the place
of this old craft.
The Marquis and her sister boat,
the Northwest, which now lies only
a short distance from her, look an
active part in the Riel rebellion. The
Marquis was laid aside in her youth,
not through any defective building,
nor as a result Of accident. She was
not superannuated because of the ex-
cellent service given her queen and
country in the suppression Of Riel's re-
bellion. Her designer did not reckon
wisely with the elements. AS a result
the boat proved an Improbable in
vestment and was only used in times
of high water a few weeks in each
year.

Mixed Talent Signed as Sailors on
Bark from San Pedro.

Tacoma, Wash.-In a mixed crew
which brought the four-masted British
bark Howard D. Troop to Tacoma,
capt. Durkee found an amazing array
OF talent. On his articles he has
stenographers, musicians, restaurant
Keepers, and, in fact, many other an
clent and honorable professions and
occupations represented. In looking
over the men he secured at San
Pedro Capt. Durkee found a collec-
ton of genius that would be hard to
beat. Every kind of talent was there
but the kind he wanted. The Nova
Scotia master asked for sailors, and
out OF the ID new hands there was
put one who had had actual expe-
rience at sea.

four-master lay at San Pedro discharg-

PROHIBITION IS HARD HIT
HOT ATTACK ON MOVEMENT BY
RICHARD RARTHoLpT.
He Gale It DevlIlsh Device That Does
Nothing but Promote Lawiess
Drunkenness.

Washington. Apr. 3O.-A spirited at.
tack of prohibition vas made Wednes.
day by Representative Richard Bar
tholdt of Missouri, before the house
committee on the District of Columbia
which has under consideration the
Sims bill providing for prohibition in
the district.
Prohibition is a devilish device to
nail the human family more securely
to the cross of King Alcohol" he de-
clared. He also declared that the pro-
fessional Prohibitionists had "corralled
women and children" and that they
had Cracked the whip" over state
legislatures. Now" he continued,
they are trying to crack the whip
over the congress Of the United
States. But this attempt we must re.
gard not as a command but as a dan
ger signal. Above all things we must
remember that prohibition does not
succeed in its purpose and that 1t
does nothing but promote lawless
drunkenness"
Mr.. Bartholdt intimated that IL the
Prohibitionists kept up their crusade
the opponents to the movement may
do some %crusading themselves.
IF this thing goes on" he said, III
these Prohibitionists open the Pan
dora's box of government inquiry and

than even they intended. We may in.
vestigate whether or not many Ameri-
can homes are deserted because the
wives and mothers spend their time on
the streets and on the hastings agltat.
ing for prohibition. We may try to
ascertain whether or not many of the
so-called temperance drinks which
are consumed by American women in
sickening quantities are alcoholic, and
do endless HARM"
A disregard for the constitution
was another charge made by Mr.. Bar.
tholdt against the Prohibition leaders.
"They are willing to spit on the con.
stitution," he said, I'm order to carry
their point" He told the committee
that its members would be called pa.
triots by posterity for refusing to
tear down our constitutional liberties
without duly considering the natter
and said that this was the most i'm.

NORTH DAKOTA news,
Arc Statutes vaiIdf

Grand Forks-1n the district court
States Attorney Wineman appeared
for Grand Forks county in the suits
brought to compel payment of a re-
ward in q "spotter" ase and to se-
cure the return of $1,000 paid into
the state by Grand Forks county for
the care of insane patients at the state
hospital.
In the "spotter" case, Grand Forks
county sent two warrants for $50 each
to State Auditor Holmes and he re-
fused payment on the ground that the
law authorizing the payment of re-
wards to collectors Of evidence in
liquor cases had been repealed when
the temperance commissioner law was
passed. The temperance commission
er law was declared unconstitutional
and States Attorney Wineman con-
tends that the old law %thereupon will
be in effect. In the suit to recover
the $1,000 paid the state, the consti-
nationality of the law requiring coun-
ties to pay for the care of insane pa
tients is involved.
Attorney General T. F. McCue sent
briefs in both of the cases and States
Attorney Wineman made oral arsu-
ments. Judge Charles F. Templeton
took both cases under advisement.

A Partisan Character.

The revolutionary Libertad has
died in a Paris hospital from a kick
which he had received during a
stormy m Getting last week. Libert-
ad was one of the most curious fig
ures in contemporary Paris. He
wore no hat, but long tangled hair
and a long beard. Over his scarlet
shirt he wore a black blouse, and
he was never seen without crutch
and an enormous cane. His Ian
guage was terrific, and he rarely at
tended any public meeting without
calling for blood. The man was a
complete mystery. His most init
mate disciples knew nothing OF hi'
history. On his death bed he beg
ged his friend not to arrange
funeral for him, as he had left his
body by will to the Paris Schoo
