From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
Two prisoners received their SEN
fences in the district court this after
noon. Claude OsgOod, who pleaded
guilty to assault in the third degree,
was the first up. His attorney, c. O.
Daley, called attention to the fact
that the matter was not Il serious one
and that Oseood had already served
twentyone days in jail. He could not
pay fine, and hoped that the sentence
would be light.
Judge Pau said that the trouble was
due to liquor, but that this was no
excuse. Boys of Osgood's age had no
business going around drinking The
court sentenced him to pay fine of
$50 or to be confined to the county
jail for thirty days.
Mic Hittle was the other defendant.
and w. r. Geddes made lengthy
plea for light sentence, claiming that
there were mitigating circumstances in
the assault that he committed upon his
wife He said that Hittle came from
a good family, had early learned and
followed trade, and had never been
in trouble before, and was peculiarly
situated because of his family trouble
Judge Pau said that it was worse
to strike a woman than a man, and
no circumstances could Justify it. Nc
man would strike woman. A man
would run away or suffer punishment
i first. A man who strikes woman
is ordinarily considered by other mel
a coward. He did not see how the
court could infict the punishment that
he would under ordinary circumstances
for heavy fine or jail sentence would
eventually fall upon the wife and chill
dren, who were depending upon him fol

TO pay a fine of $50 and about Sl(
costs, or to be confined to the county
jail for sixty days

Health Officer Bjelland has received
the following instructions from DR.. S.
II. Ward, state veterinarian and sec
rotary and executive officer of the
state live stock sanitary board
Dear Doctor: You are hereby ad-
vised that the following part of resolu-
ton offered by Senator Swanson was
duly adopted on Feb So
THAT said board cease to incur any
new and additional obligations except
such as may be directed by any com
mittee that may be appointed by the
Legislature and until such time as the
legislature shall by law provide for
the payment of all such claims an
additional money for the use of said
board"
You are therefore Informed that un-
til further notice 40 animals will be
condemned or appraised on account OF
tuberculosis or CHAMBERS nor will tu-
berculin or maIiein be furnished by
this board
Whether this order will become per-
manent depends upon the future ac'

This instruction will prevent the re-
testing of the herd of dairy cattle
that was reported to the council q
week ago tonight, unless some Other
action is taken before the expiration
OF the ninety days that TDr Ware

also prevent any future tests, and il

that the tubercnlin test is supposed
to have accomplished in this state

TO BOOST COUNTY EXHIBITS
Object Of An Association Organized
in ST Paul Yester day.

St Paul. Feb. l2.-What will be
known as the Minnesota Federation of
County Agricultural Associations was
formed yesterday afternoon at meet
ING held at the Merchants motel, at
tended by about fifty representatives
from the various societies throughout
the state. Impaired train service kept
down the attendance materially.
The object of the federation is to
forward the county agricultural ex-
hibits, to strengthen the county as
sociations in existence, and to eXtab-
fish associations in counties which have
none. The legislature will also be
asked to double the apportionment al
lotted to county agricultural exhibits
and to enact law whereby the state
will be in Il position to replace county
agricultural buildings destroyed by fire
or wind
The present arrangement of giving
each county possessing an agricultural
society a representation of one men,
Der on the state board of agriculture
and allowing the. board of county com
missioners in counties not possessing
an agricultural society to name rep
resentative to the state board was de-
cided upon as fully satisfactory, and
no change will he asked.

In a sermon at Ottumwa, Iowa, not
long ago, Rev. Billy Sunday said:
This town is going to hell. There
is too much joining church and not
enough joining God. There is too much
playing tag with God and hide and
seek with the devil. | wish / could
pun a string and all of the unpaid
clothing you are wearing would fall
off. Some of you men wouldn't have
on but a celluloid collar and
Il pair of socks and you women
wouldn't nave anything on but a wire
rat and some hair pins" Is that the
kind of talk that makes Christians?

MAXIM AND HIS LATEST INVENTION.

Hiram Maxim has given public
demonstration of his latest invention.
by means of which ordinary fire arms
are made almost noiseless. Maxim used
all of the standard models of military
and sporting rifles, attaching to each
in turn the device which he calls a
silencer, to the muzzle end of the bar
rel. Thus he fired the largest shoulder
guns in use with a report not unlike
the snap of a toy air pistol. First they
were fired without the attachment. the
reports of some being almost deafning
and then the siencer was slipped on
the end of the barrel, and with the
same sized cartridge the report was as
before stated
The inventor explained that he was
prepared to give the secret to the world,
now that his foreign patents had been
protected. For an ordinary sporting
rife the device is four inches long, one
and 3-8 inches in diameter and weighs
about five and one-half ounces 1t can
be put on or taken off in five seconds,
and to fit it to any rifle it is only
necessary to cut a small screw thread
at the end of the barrel The princi-
pie of the invention is that of centri-
fugal force. The powder gases, instead
of escaping explosively from the muzzel
are whirled rapidly about in small
grooves of the silencer, so as to be dis
charged gradually, these grooves being
arranged about the hole corresponding
to the bore of the rifle. The inventor
compared it to the action of water run
ming out of set bowl when you pull
the stopper out and the water is whirl
ing around in the bowl. 1t is mega
tive turbine.
Maxim says the attachment does not
cause any loss of velocity, accuracy
or penetration, and that it diminishes
the reeoil at least fifty per cent. To
show the blast from the regulation
army rifle, a frame work of wood and
metal was held four feet from the
muzzle. Upon firing the wood and
metal were torn, twisted and burned.
Then the silencer was adjusted and
Maxim took mis-. card in his finoers hold

+. E. Jefferson was in the city
today and exhibited some pictures
taken near his farm residence in Bel
grade township, seven miles west
of this city The pictures were taken
in his orchard, where a drift formed
to a depth of sixteen feet, and was
SO hard packed that he was able to
run his one cylinder Cadillac ear
to the top of it. The pictures show
Mr.. Jefferson in his car at the top of
the bank He states that the snow
was SO tightly packed that he could
have driven team and heavy load
to the top of the bank
The tops of the smaller fruit trees
had to be dug out to save them,
and it was while doing this that Mr..
Jefferson received the idea OF run
ming his automobile to the top of
the bank. The telephone poles in

TAUGHT US the ESPERANTO.

Fifty wears ago, in the little town
Of Biolostck. Poland DIR. Ludovic Lag
arus Zamenhof was born. During ms
youth he perceived that large part
of the hatred and bitterness manifest
ed by the four races living there to-
oether was due to the misunderstand-
inc caused by difference i'll Ian
guage Although he became an ocu-
list by profession, he devoted large
part of his time to the study OF IAN
guaoe and in 1887 after twenty years
oil almost constant labor, he published
his scheme of new international and
UNIVERSAL language. This is now called
Esperanto, and it has won adherents
in every part of the civilized globe.
DIR. Zamenholf now lives at War
saw, where he first began the propa-
panda of Esperanto. Russia was the
scene of the first activity. Many
writers of real literary ability took up
the language, translating into it Rus
sian and Polish classics and demon
strating that Esperanto, far from be-
ing a mere mechanical aggregation of
formulate, was a living tongue, with
q style and spirit of its own, capable
or rendering the most delicate and
subtle meanings in novels and poetry.
Little bv little textbooks and die
tionaries were prepared in the various
languages, and with amazing steadi-
ness. groups and societies kept form
inc. Then came the first world con-
gress at Boulogne sur Mer, France,
in 1905, the one event which definitely
established in the eyes of the world
the validity of the claims which had
been made for Esperanto. Represen-
tatives of some thirty nations met,
with tremendous enthusiasm, to find
their widest hopes realized. Many Of
them had learned the new language
wholly from books.
1t was a dramatic moment when DR..
Zamenholf arose to open the session.
He began his speech in the idiom which
he himself had created and many of the
delegates then heard spoken Esperanto
for the first time. As those lucid
sentences rolled forth, perfectly clear
and ineligible, the delight of that
heterogeneous audience was some
thing to be long remembered. Plays
We're given in Esperanto, and men
from the ends of the earth chatted
amicably together without difficulty
or embarrassment.
The next year the congress was at
Geneva, that home of congresses. In
1907 the Esperantists met at Cam
bridge, England. The congress of 1908,
at Dresden, Germany, was attended by
400 delegates from forty different ia
tions. In 1909 there are to be two
great assemblies, one at Chautauqua in
New York state and one at Barcelona,
Spain.
Esperanto is no longer in the ex-
perimental stage; it is an accomplish
ed fact. 1t is studied and used by
more than million people from
every nation and condition in life
Already it has been adopted or in
dorsed by such organizations as the
Red Cross Society, the Christian En-
deavor society, Free Masons, etc.
Some seventy periodicals from all over
the world are printed in the language.
Esperanto is being taught in the uni
versities of Oxford, Chicago Wisconsin,
the Massachusetts Institute of Techno-
lo9y, and other schools are adopting it,

the guest of Miss Maggie Roberts last

Morris Williams, last Monday, es-
capped what might have been a very
serious accident. While crossing over
the railroad crossing i'm the timber on
his way to the saw mill, one of his
horses got his foot caught between
the rail and plank. As the animal
was shOd it was difficult matter to
get its foot loose and a piece of the
plank had to be chopped away before
the animal could be released. About
ten minutes after Mr.. Williams got
his team off the track the passenger
train from the west came along at
about fifty miles an hour. People
can't be too careful when approaching
these crossings in the timber.

maker, was hired for another year. 1t
was decided unanimously by the board
to run the skimming station another
year in connection with the creamery

RECALLS THE RECENT PAST.

The County Chairman in The st.
Paul Dispatch notes the fact that 1t Is
the universally expressed opinion
among politicians and those who take
interest in public matters that Cover
nor Johnson will be candidate for a
fourth term. TO this the governor
says rot" and Mr.. Day says rid
culous."
But, says The Duluth News-lribune
they said the same two years ago, and
it does not change current opinion, to
which there seems no exception, that
at the proper time the governor will
again consent to "stultify" himself for
the good of the hungry. Just now he
doubtless thinks he will not. but the
boys at the pie counter know him
better than he knows himself
