The special correspondent Of the
St. Paul Dispatch VINO has been tour
ing the state, deduces the following
from his observations:
The old wildcat land days of the
"Flickertail state have been rele-
gated to the past. Bankers and
merchants have Joined with the bet
ter class of land men to present
things in their true light. CONNER
cial bodies are using their best en-
beavers to advertise their communi-
ties in truthful manner and the re-
suit is that the tide of immigration
is certainly turning this way again.
It will be diverted from the channels
farther north. across the border line,
and the fruitful acres of the state
that are now idle will soon be titled
by an intelligent, energetic class OF
farmers from the states further east
and south-men who know how to
farm so as to make their land pro-
duce the most money per acre.

The Agricultural College experts
have this suggestion with respect to
the care of trees planted this spring:
Keep an eye on the trees you set
out this spring. The weather so far
this season has been exceptionally
good throughout the state for the
roofing and rapid growth Of young
trees. If the soil still Is moist about
their roots, mulch them heavily with
manure, not putting it too close to
the stem of the tree. If the soil is
drying out, water it, and water it
heavily, then mulch. The young
tree must form enough new material
to grow it's seasons crop of leaves.
and a layer of wood that grows from
the top downward, the roots forming
last of all. If there is not strong
root growth this season, the tree will
die next, we will say it was winter
killed. Stimulate it's growth we'll
into the fall of the year, and 1t is
reasonably certain. to come through
the winter all right.

Citizens of Devils Lake Excited Over
Rapid Spread of the Malady.

states that commencing on the first
of the month, it will publish a daily
list of the names of purchasers of

after THE PIGGERs HARD EACH GOT long Pen TERMS
Murderers Given Twenty-Five Years
Each BY Devils Lake Judge-Judge
=. Stated Men Were Getting OF Too
Easily Under the Circumstances of
Their Crime

Devils Lake: Aug. 24.-Charles
Johnson anu Louis 4ill. the two
Firms who murdered their country
man, Charles Mathi at Brocket.
August 10, were sentenced to twenty
five years in the penitentiary by
Judge Cowan. The two men were
allowed by States Attorney Duell to
plead guilty to the crime of murder
in the second degree.
Attorney McClory made a short ar
gument to the court, and presented
some of the ,extenuating circumstan-
ces in the case. He told that the
men had had nothing to eat during
the day, and that the bunch who had
been playing poker were drawing
money out of the pots with which
they constantly bought alcohol Hill
and Johnson he considered to be not
responsible in large part for their
actions, and that their appearance Of
generalization arose from the fact
that they were too drunk to know
what they were doing. He closed
the talk with an appeal to the court
to make the sentence as light as
possible. Judge Cowan in passing
sentence, told the men that they
were getting off very easily, that
their crime had been sufficient to
hang them, and in accordance with
this, the fact that they had pleaded
guilty to a lesser charge did not
entitle them to much consideration.

examination with much composure.
Mr.. Bond was sure that hesused dis
erection in the sale Of liquor, that he
never sold any without getting the
purchaser to sign the affidavit, and
also that he, considered Cramps to
be a very common disease during
this time Of year. His permit was
granted, and Judge Cowan asked
him to stand up. II am going to say
to you. Mr.. Bond" charged the
judge, ."just what mean for all the
rest of you druggists in the court
room. You are all going to get ~
license in this court now under the
bare, naked rules Of the law. But
want to warm you, that you will lose
your permits just as easily as you
have obtained them if there is any
cause. This is far from pleasant
duty for me, but I must obey the
law of this state. If any reputable
citizen comes before me, and lays
complaint that you are not living up
to requirements of the law, that
complaint is going to get a fair and
thorough examination in this court.
And l warn you, that if you once
lose your permit it is going to be
hard pull with you. Under this new
law, 1 shall not issue you another
license personally, and there will not
be another permit issued to your
company until the organization or
that company has been permanently
and greatly changed. Now, gentle
men, go ahead with your business
and obey the laws and we shall all
have a pleasant time, but | have
warned you of what violation means
and I tell you again that you stand
to lose your bond, your business, and
perhaps your liberty if you do not
obey. Your permit is granted"
In quick succession, the other
druggists of the county appeared and
after a perfunctory examination, all
were granted their permits. One
thing was brought in rather unex
pectedly, and that was that Judge
Cowan would not accept surety COM
pany bonds, but required personal
bonds. Nearly all of the applicants
had to switch over, but they seemed
to fill the requirements easily
enough. Another thing that was
brought out in the examination was
that few of the druggists owned
more than half of their establish.
ments and that nearly all Of them
had a silent partner who shared the
profits.

NOT NOW IN THE RACE.

Minot Optic: During the past few
weeks. the name of James Johnson
of this city has been mentioned for
the gubernatorial chair and politi.
clans from this city who have just

Mr. Johnson was seen by an OPP

MES his candidacy at this time. Mr..
Johnson said: 81 have heard the
report that Il was a candidate but
wish to state emphatically that I am
not at this time in the race. I do
not know where the report started
nor how It has gotten around, but
do know that it was never started

The Devils Lake Journal has been

drug store has sold at least 5000

Too many Bismarck citizens are

stiff and lame. Plasters and liniments
may give relief but cannot reach the
cause. To eliminate the pains and
aches you must cure the kidneys. =.

DRUGGISTS PERMITS,

The district judges Of the state do
not seem to be exactly in accord with
regard to the granting of druggists
to sell liquor. Some of the judges
have declined to grant permits in
any case, holding that the granting
of permits is not one of the duties
imposed upon district judges by the
constitution of the state. Others are
granting permits but warning those
to whom they are granted that a
violation of the letter or spirit of
the law will mean revocation of the
license, and the prosecution of the
offender. Judge Cowan of the Sec
ond district has granted permits to
a number of applicants in Ramsey
county, but serves notice upon the
persons to whom the permits are
granted that violation of the law
on the part of the druggists will
mean trouble from the court.
It is perhaps necessary to have a
dispensary in the various counties
and towns of the state where liquor
may lawfully be obtained for lawful
purposes-and the only purposes
lawful in this state are medicinal,
scientific and sacramento purposes.
We take it that there are few sales
in this state for scientific purposes.
and few druggists would go to the
trouble of obtaining permits for the
purpose of serving the demand.
Neither is there any great demand
for liquor for sacramento purposes,
the total quantity for such purposes
being small. It is under the general
head of medicinal purposes" that
the spirit Of the law has been violat-
ed in the state. A good many drug
store have through this opening in
the law served liquor to customers,
it being known at the time of sale
that it was in violation of the spirit
if not of the letter of the law. The
individual buyer has little occasion
for the purchase of liquor for medic
inal purposes. There are few. ills in
which some other remedy cannot be
made as well to serve the part of
alcoholic stimulants. But it is easy
for the buyer who wants liquor to
convince himself that he has an all
ment that makes liquor needful.
And under the loose system of affi-
davits that has been practiced in the
state-the simple signing Of blank
affidavit-the drug permit has been
a source of considerable evil.
In the legislature last winter, there
was a considerable sentiment in fav-
or Of doing away with the permits
altogether. We do not think the
health of the state would have been
seriously impaired if this had been
done. But inasmuch as the majority !
Of sentiment favored the continu
ance of the permit under closer re-
strictions, the obedience of the law
both ins spirit and letter is now
largely in the hands of the district !

permits will probably see to it that
