FAwCf1T CASE IS DISMISSED
GRAND FORKS PHYSICIAN WILL
NOT AGAIN BE TRIED FOR
CRIME.

Grand Forks, N. D., March 16-One
of the most peculiar jury terms of
the district court that has convened
in grand Forks for some time has
begun here. 1t Is a peculiar jury term
because there are no criminal cases
to be tried and it is probable that all
the criminal cases on the calendar will
be dismissed.
States Attorney Bangs planned to
appear before Judge Templeton and
order three cases stricken from the
calendar, dismissed entirely, never
to be brought up again. They are
the cases of the state against DR.. J.
w. Fawcett, charged with abortion,
Edward Mccormick, charged with
rape, and Elmer Todd charged with
bribery.
The Fawcett case has had one trial
the jury disagreeing, the same also
being true Of the case of Edward Nc
Cormick.

MING NEW ROADS.

Edgeley, \. D., March 16.-The con-
tract has been let to a Columbus, O.,
railroad contracting firm for PIP miles
Of standard gauge steam railway from
Edgeley, N. d., to Pembina, N. D.
The line is to cost approximately
$2,50o,000 and is the first part of the
system projected by the Midland Con-
tinental railroad which has for its OBJ
ject a short line to the gulf. The
road will make connection at Win
nipeg on through line to Calves
ton, Texas. Thus it will be seen
that there was something to the talk
IT the new railroad after all, and
those who had an idea that it was
Ill hot air, now have another guess
coming. The work on the short line
from Edgeley to Jamestown will be
started in the spring and the big
contract will be commenced some
time during the early summer.

THE CHEROKEE ROSE.
Romantic indian Legend Of This Beau
tifuI Flower.

Romantic indian Legend Of This Beau
tifuI Flower.
There is a beautiful romance con-
nected with the Cherokee rose. A
young Indian chief Of the Seminole
tribe was taken prisoner by his enc
mics, the Cherokees, and doomed to
tor o., but fell 50 seriously Ill that it
bec;.e necessary to wait for his resto-
ration to health before committing him
to the fire.
As he lay FRUSTRATED by disease in
the cabin Of the Cherokee warrior the
daughter Of the latter, young, dark
faced maid, was his nurse. She fell in
love with the yorSg chieftain and.
wishing to save h..!lfe. urged him to
escape. But he would not do so unless
she would fee with him.
She consented. Before they had gone
fur, impelled by regret at leaving
home, she asked permission of her
lover to return for the purpose of
bearing away some memento OF, it. SO.
retracing her footsteps, she broke
sprig from the white rose which climb
ed up the poles Of her fathers tent
and, preserving it during her flight
through the wilderness, planted IT, by
the door Of her new home In the land
Of the Seminoles. And from that day
this beautiful flower has always been
known throughout the southern states
by the name Of the Cherokee rose

Mhsrs chess Is Most Popular.


Games may come and games may 60,

popularity. Nowhere else Is 1t 50 popu-

near Halberstadt, in Prussian Saxony.
Some time in the eleventh century
Count Gunnelin, held a prisoner in a
stone tower In the village, amused
himself by carving set Of chessmen
and teaching the game to his jaIlers.
The tower, which still stands, Is known
as the Chess tower. The jailers taught
the game to their friends, who were 80
pleased with it that they devoted all
their spare time to practice. This de-

village hotel is called the Chess inn,
tournaments are held every year, and
prizes are given to the best players. II

1t is likely that the resources of the
state will permit the expenditure this
year of all the appropriations for Inn
provements that were made by the
legislature, and that part Of the work
will have to be done next year.
The tuberculosis hospital recon-
mended by Supt. Baldwin, was con-
sidered of sufficient Importance by
the legislature to warrant an ap,|ro-
priation of $4,000 for it's construc-

will be used for the special care of

are over IS now in the institution;

for farming and the raising of feed,
was admitted and $4,000 granted for
that purpose. An improved sewer

Of the violent ward was being repaired

unusually watchful until it was fin-

for a stroll down the beautiful lane
leading up to the main building. Sud

one running behind them and were
Mortified on looking around to see d.

stepped to the side Of the road. The

KNOX HAS EN- A-GUEssING,

Both in diplomatic and political cir
Giles there is lot of guessing, and
some uneasiness, as to why Secre-
tary Knox should be arranging to
send a commission to Central Amer
lea, to investigate political conditions
in the republics of Salvador, Nicara-
qua, Guatemala, Honduras and Costa
RIGA, as soon as the revolution against
Zelaya is over. All that is positively
known is that Mexico is to send a
similar commission to the revolution
belt. AS investigating conditions" is
pretty broad and general, there are
naturally all sorts of rumors, from the
intention to establish joint protector
ates by the United States and Mexico
to their joint annexation, as to the
objects of this extraordinary commits
sion business, and, unless Secretary
Knox sees fit to make a specific ex-
PLANTATION, there may be trouble in
congress, and those who should know
are predicting that no explanation can
prevent the sending of such a commits
sion making a lot of trouble in Gen.

worse than the telegraph and tele-
phone companies. where they have a
monopoly. Nor are they any worse
than the beef trust, or the sugar trust
or the leather trust, or any other of
the trusts. They are all alike. The
same underlying spirit of greed for
gold controls them all.
To swing far away from old land
marks, to the ownership or control of
all these natural monopolies, either
by the state or nation, is going into
dangers we know not Of; that is true;
but can there be worse dangers than
confront us? Is there less danger in
governmental control than in the con-
troll of mighty nation of people by
one or two or a dozen men? If the
commerce of the country must be
bound hand and foot and compelled
to pay just such freight rates as d
few men, representing their own sell
fish interests may say, were it not
better to remedy that evil by placing
the power in the hands Of few men
who would be responsible to the peo-
pie Certainly that would be So And
yet there is this danger in that: The
trusts, as they do now, would elect
the president, and name his cabinet,
and send their attorneys to control
the congress.
1t is sad plight, after all. It will
doubtless end some time in the years
to come, in revolution. And then to
be a trust magnate or a millionaire
will be dangerous, uncomfortable, un-
happy and unhealthy. There will be
bloody times then; and the people.
hungry and disheartened, who through
long years of patient forbearance have
been goaded to desperation, will not
be to blame.

ONE OF MOST
THRILLING SPORTS

ing for pleasure, there is no dangerous
reef, but in the South Pacific often the
reef is two miles from shore and is
exposed to low tide. The waves form
almost on the edge of the reef and
drop down upon the hard coral perpen'

time being with about two feet Of rush
ing water. The canoe must jump

is held suspended until a cushion OF
water rushes onward to receive it, the

reef is crossed and there is but two

to the sandy beach. If the bow of
the canoe does touch the coral on the

NEWSPAPER FARMING.

Practical planters and farmers often
speak snearingly Of the newspaper
farmer who gives advice as to when
and what to plant and how to culti-
vate the various crops, etc.; in short,
how to handle the various problems
that arise on the farm. It must be re-
membered that the technical advice
given is usually taken from reports
of experimental stations, state and ma
tional; and it is supposed that they
know what they are talking about.
But it needs no expert to see that
things are somewhat out of gear in
this section. Not long ago gentle
man connected with the News had &C.
casion to take dinner in a flourishing
little town a short distance from
Natchez, and here is what he noticed:
There was corn bread made from
meal ground in Little Rock; macca-
roni made in New Orleans cooked with
Wisconsin cheese and Baltimore to-
matoes; on inquiry he found that the
lard used in cooking is from Kansas
City, so was the meat; dried peaches
had come from the East, and so on all
the way through the list. At the din
ner table were several planters from
the immediate vicinity who were edi-
flying and expatiating on the magnifi-
cent soil and climate of the section
and were wondering why there is no
greater demand for our lands than
there is at present. None seemed to
see the irony in the situation. Rich
lands and climate, and nothing to eat
that is produced at home, unless good
