whether the team will be disbapded

every lover OF base ball. 1t was
thought best to disband the team for
the remainder of the season, bur since

past week. Col. Davidson was down
couple of days from st. Paul and
Messrs. Pratt and Hunt of the engi-

latter two state that it has been
definitely decided to open offices at
Dubuque and commence work out of
that city northward this summer, that
five construction gangs are at work
between Minneapolis and Mortified,
the bridge over the Minnesota river

an air of industry prevalent through
out the whole enterprise. According
to these men work will be pushed

DEBORAH So. CLERMONT 80
Decorah's two games with Clermont
last Wednesday and Thursday were
easily won by the local team. The
first game was smuggling match.
Monroe was in the box for DEBORAH
and Burkhardt of Cedar Rapids for
Clermont. The boys hammered Burk-
hardt all over the field, and Just to
show his hilarity Bidne damned the
thing clear over into the river, making
home run and scoring another. De-
corah got IA hits, Clermont 3. Cler-
mont did not make an earned run, but
got in three on errors
The game on Thursday was a better
one. but still they could not stop our
boys from hitting Bidne pitched for
DEBORAH and Gloeckner of Oelwein
for Clermont. DEBORAH secured seven
hits. Olermont g. Nesbit duplicated
Bidne's feat of the day before by
making home run and scoring a man
ahead of him.

Tornado and Hail Policies.

The ordinrry Tornado Policies have
in many cases proved unsatisfactory af-
ter the big Tornado and Hail this sum
mer.
An ordinary Policy docs not
insure against Hail Damage.
While the most of the companies paid
the Hail damages here under Tornado
Policies, at the solicitation of their ag-
ents. They did so entirely out of good
will and not because they were in any
way liable under their contract or pol
icy. 1t will not be done again that is
quite certain, as Insurance is and must
be strict business transaction.
l can now issue Tornado Policy that
insures you against Tornado and Hail
damage against Hail whether driven by
wind or not in a first class company.
l may add that this company paid the
Tornado and Hail losses here like Lords
this summer, under ordinary Tornado
Policies and they will always treat you
right.

charged during this month. Unless
some recruits or re-enlistments are Sc
cured there will be only three men in
one of his companies and four in an
other. That is not enough TO fill the list
of non-commissioned officers. Other
regiments are in almost as bad shape
Many of the enlisted men of the Fiji
teenth infantry, now at Fort Douglas,
viii shortly. be discharged from the
service, their terms of enlistment hav-
ing nearly expired. Whether they will
re-enlist or not is an open question.
The war department is preparing sta
tisties on the situation generally with
a view to solving the problem, which
is assuredly a vexatious one. Some
solution must be found, and found at
once, if even a skeleton of a regular
army organization is to be maintained.
Secretary of War Taft has suggested
that the soldiers. both officers and en-
listed men, be given more pay. This
would seem to be a step in the right
direction. 1t is a mistake to suppose
that the private soldier has an easy life.
He hasn't anything of the sort What
with drills and sentry duty, rife prac-
tice and the various exercises required
by tie regulations he is a reasonably
busy man. And he is on duty, or SUBJ
ject to call at all times. He cannot plan
his movements with any degree of GER
tainty, for he never knows what plans
his officers have made for him.
OF course the officers do the best they
can to make the enlisted man happy
and keep him happy. Many. amuse-
ments are planned for his benefit, but
the fact remains that, after serving out
one enlistment, the average private SOL
der finds little attraction in army life.
He no sooner gets settled at a post and
begins making friends than he is or
dered to another post. And his pay is
not as much as the average man spends
every month on personal extrava-
gances.
1t is different in the navy, and lat
terly the navy has had no trouble in
securing recruits. The sailor has a
chance TO see the world and he does see
it pretty thoroughly if he stays long
enough in the service. This cruise from
the Atlantic to the Pacific is an exam
pie. Besides, there is more chance for
action in the navy. 1t is generally be-
ieved that future wars in which the
United States may become involved will
be settled by the navy. There is no
danger of an invasion of this country
by a hostile nation.
Of the two branches the navy is far
preferable to most intelligent young
Americans, and it will continue so I'M
til some radical action looking towards
the betterment Of the military arm is
taken.

ARE BEES WILD BEASTS?
Can't Have First sting-Their Le-
Gal Position.

The Law Journal Of London prints
two interesting eases concerning the
rights of beekeepers and their neigh
bors. In one case the question of prep
erty in bees was the issue; in the other.
it was question of nuisance.
"A beekeeper's swarm flies into a
neighbours garden and settles on an
apple tree" says the Law Journal
First question: Has the beekeeper
still the property in the swarm, or has
it become his neighbours and annexed
to the ownership of the tree?'
" Answer: The swarm is still the
property of the beekeeper. but he can
not go and recover it, if the neighbor
objects, without committing a tres
pass And this is what the neighbor
in Quantril VS.. Spragge did.
He not only objected to the bee
keeper coming after his property, but
he shook down the swarm from the ap-
pie tree, with the result that the bees
were lost. Now, in this he was wrong
The shaking down of the swarm was
not only an unneighboriy act, but tor
tious in law
1T was an analogous to the case
where a man drives trespassing cattle
en- his land TO a great distance, or
hunts them off with a fierce dog, in
which case he is liable for the injury,
If any, done to the property in the cat
tie. Here, then, was a contest of de-
merits trespass on one side, tort on
the other, q conflict best met, the
learned judge thought, by making each
party pay his own costs.
In the other case-Of nuisance-the
beekeeper had ten hives with half
million bees at work, and he might
fairly congratulate himself on the law
abiding instincts of his swarms.afor
they had only stung five persons in two
years. 1t seems a very moderate al
lowance; still, it was too much for the
stung plaintiff, who was not satisfied
with boarding which the beekeeper
had providently set up, but claimed an
interim injunction to restrain the keep
ing of the bees altogether, so near his
property.
I'm the course of the argument the
theory was preached on behalf of the
beekeeper that a bee is entitled to his
first sting; but this is erroneous. A
bee is ferae naturae, not mansuetae
naturae, like dog, and must be kept
as tiger is-at the keepers peril"
That is to say, that a bee is of the
nature of a wild beast, not a tame one.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-01-11
MO WEALTH FOR CARTER,

The decision of the United States
court at Chicago that Oberlin NJ. Car
ter, ex-convict and ex-captain in the
regular army. must give up the money
of which he defrauded the government,
is another illustration of the relentless
ness with which Uncle Sam pursues his
unworthy servants. Carter's stealings
in connection with the Greene and Gay
nor contracts at Savannah, Ca, are
said to have aggregated $780, 900. Greene
and Gaynor got between them twice as
much, the total involved being s., 225, 900.
Carter was the first of the trio con-
victed, because his companions in crime
escaped to Canada, and were only
brought back to this country after
years had been spent in securing their
extradition. A sentence Of seven years
| confinement in the government prison
| at Leavenwortn, Kan, was imposed
upon Carter. 1t was said at the time
that Carter if he did not mind the
! disgrace and dishonor, could well af-
ford to go to prison for seven years
for he would be receiving upwards of
100000 for each year Of his confne-
ment. But Carter is not to be allowed
to enjoy, if he is still capable of en-
joying anything, the fruits of his be-
trayal of the trust that was reposed
in him.
Every investment of the stolen money
he made was traced with reasonable
accuracy by the government prosecu-
tors. More than $4OO 900 had been con-
verted into railroad bonds and other Sc
curities by Carter. They were traced
to safety deposit boxes and other hiding
places and the decree of the court very
properly is that Carter must give them
up. Had he been permitted to retain
them, he might have gone to some
other country where he was not known.
and, under an assumed name, might
have lived out his life in luxury. There
can be no question of the business of
the decision against him.
The money with which Carter bought
the bonds and other securities was not
his. Therefore the stuff he bought
with the money was not his. The gov
eminent is entitled to convert the paper
into cash and return the cash to the
treasury from which it was distracted.
The proceeding may be a wholesome
lesson to others who contemplate the
theft of government funds. 1t may be
warning to them that the nation is
relentless in its pursuit of those who
wrong it, that il viii not permit them
10 enjoy liberty or the possession of
the plumber.
In order to keep the record straight,
it should be said at this time that Gay
nor and Greene, Carriers partners, also
lost their fight for liberty and wealth.
Both are now undergoing confinement
in a southern prison. And at the time
they were sentenced to prison they were
also sentenced to pay fines aggregating
the amount of their stealings.
