SENSATIONAL n DAMAGE. I.
:. CASE IS DISMISSED

W Langdon, N. D., July 9.-In the dis
trict court yesterday two important
actions for damages we've dismissed,
settlements having been made out of
court. These are the cases wherein
Father Berne and Mrs. Margaret
Plante and F. C. Plante for $4,000
damages each, SANDER being the
ground on which the actions were
commenced.
The cases, which started caused
considerable of a stir in Cavalier
county, where the parties concerned
are we'll known. Father Berne and
Mrs. Plante allege that F.. G. Plante
had circulated number of stories
that were decidedly untrue and that
because of those stories, they had
suffered damages to the amount ask
ed.
Mrs. Plante was engaged as the
housekeeper for Father Berne and she
is also the daughter-in-law of the de-
fendant in the two actions. F. G.
Plante is a prominent farmer of Ca

new WAREHOUSE
RECEIPT MADE

Fargo, July 9.-Before adjourning
yesterday afternoon, the North d.
kota railroad commissioners formu-
lated uniform grain receipt which
might hereafter be used by every
grain warehouse man or elevator
man in the. state. r, While the receipt
is radically different in some respects
to all of the forms that have been
rCed in the, past by the warehouse
men of the state it is simply in COM
pliance with laws that have been On
the statute books for years.
The most radical change in the re-
ceipt from the old forms used is the
stipulation that at the option Of the
holder of the receipt he may demand
the delivery Of the grain at any ter
minal he may designate. BY term
inal is meant either St., Paul, Mime
apolis, Duluth or Superior. The old
receipts which were issued by the
warehousemen and which were got
ten up to suit themselves stipulated
that the grain should be delivered at
the terminal designated by the ware
housemen or elevator man, alth ough

of the receipts could designate his

There are three stories of the jamestown church

wateT-from jamestown island to Williamsburg. James
town is largely memory, while williamsburg is both
memory and reality. The past and the present meet in
It's streets and there is a subtle blending Of the two into
a midt1me atmosphere. Happily the Virginians have
held to the love of the old things. 1t is worth something
to know that the main street still is known-see the
corner signs-as the Duke of Gloucester street. It is a
noble thoroughfare, whatever may be said of the one
for whom it was named, and on it stands a courthouse
designed by Sir Christopher Wren. There are things
worth while in williamsburg.

you will not be allowed to leave the "oldest incorporated
city in America" until you have visited the College OF
William and Mary, which stands at the head OF the
Duke of Gloucester street-you can't leave this thorough
fare in the lurch if you try-and which is the oldest col
lege in America, barring only Harvard. The little guloe-
book of the place tells that among the alumni OF "tnls
ancient and honorable college" may be numbered three
presidents of the United States, IL cabinet omcers' ~
members of the continental congress-, among them us
first president, Peyton Randolph; four justices OF the
supreme court of the United States, including Chlet JUS
tice Marshall, together with a long list Of senator's,
United States ENJOYS and ministers, governors, mlhtary
and naval officers and five signers of the declaratlon OF

list was that the last ought to have come f1rst.

The blunt truth is that when you get into one OF tnese
history-teeming places you are lost in wonder mat SO
many things worth remembering by posterlty could nave
happened and that SO many men could nave nad a anu
in their happening. They made history fast in Virginia
and they made plenty of it.
Not long ago an officer of one OF the staH oeparc
ments of the United States army was made a brlgadler'
general of the line. A younger o1acer sneefeu a. .o
promotion and said that the president was recosnlzns
hard duty done in the cracker and cheese department.
while the fellows who fought were overlooked.
Some of the officers of the staff departments OF the
army have seen as much service on stricken neius as
have many of their fellows of the line. Col. THOMAS
Cruise is doing duty in the quartermasters department.
and he takes more account of shovels than he does OF
swords, but it would be a bold man OF the line VINO
would sheer at the career of Col. Cruise.
The colonel saw all kinds of service before he maze
the transfer to the staff and one of his exploits is tolo
today in Sibley tents and in barracks Wherever Onl'eu
States troops are camped or quartered.
Cruise was for years an officer in the Sixth cavalry.
Thew saw to-day when he picks up a sample shovel in
tho nnartermaster's department he handles it as though
it were a carbine. In the early summer OF the year 1909
