Reads Interesting Paper.

S. H. Hudson, the mayor of Ben
son, read very interesting paper
on 1.-The Legal Status Of Wardens
and Vestrymen, their rights and
duties," at meeting of the Mems
Club of St. Luke's last Wednesday
evening, the paper being in the ma
ture of a historical review of the
subject. The speaker also touched
on the problem of providing proper
and adequate financial means for
the support of church work, and he
said there would be no problem if
the business men who belonged to
the church would administer the
affairs of the church with as much
care and enterprise as they would
their own business. He closed by
saying, "We must learn the art of
giving. We cannot expect the best
results so long as we regard giving
to the church in the light of a bar
ter; we must look upon it as duty
we owe to God "a duty which can
only be performed we'll when we
look upon it as a privilege
After the meeting a social hour
was spent, and refreshments were
served by Mesdames Gates, Crosby,
Ramsett, Forsberg and Johnson.

Southsiders win Again.

The Southsiders again bested the
Eastenders at baseball last Thurs
day afternoon, the score being 81
to 10. The game was fierceIy con-
tested, no less than three bats be-
ing broken. The umpire said the
hits came so fast it sounded like a
rain shower on a tin roof, and he
had the time of his life lodging the
ball. Aside from the heavy bat
ting, a broken finger and a COILS
sion between Harry Dalhlin and
Paul Holt were features Of the
game.
South has how won two of three
games played. If they win the
third they will get the pennant to
be given by the Tribune. On the
other hand, if East wins as they
feel sure they will, the two teams
will be tied, and a fifth game will
have to be played. At any rate the
next game will be a battle royal.

ESTUARY. q
ALBERT SWENSON.

Last Thursday evening, at his
home at Long Lake, occurred the
death of Albert Swenson, son of
Mrs. John Swenon. The cause of
death was Bright's disease, with
which he had been afflicted for only
a short time. About three weeks
ago he went to Minneapolis from
Stockholm, S. D., to seek:. medical
aid. The physician gave him no
encouragement, and he came home
a few day later to spend his last
days with his loved ones. No one
realized that the end was so near,
and he had been in bed only a day
when the final summons came.
The funeral will take place this
afternoon, services being conducted
by Rev. Johanson at the house and
at the Hauge's church. Interment
will be made in the adjoining ceme-
terry.
Albert Swenson was born in
Dovre township April 4, 1881, and
he thus attained the age of a little
more than 20 years of age. After
finishing his work in the common
schools, he entered the Wlllmar
High School, where he graduated
in 1903. Later he attended the
State University, taking a cour, e
in electrical engineering, but was
obliged to give up his studies on
account of i'll health. During the
past year he was in the hardware
business at Stockholm. S. D., with
his brother Edward.
He leaves to mourn his death, be-
sides his mother, one sister, Mrs.
Emil Melin, of Sheyenne, N. D..
and four brothers of the
town of St. Johns; Wesley, of La
Bolt, S. D.; David, who stays at
home; and Edward, of Stockholm. S.
D. and number of other relatives
and friends.

The identity of the young man
who committed suicide in refrige-
rator car at Willmar April II was

Runaways Repent.

. Weary and ,homesick William
Kerridge, Is, and Walter Bugbee.
16, two Minneapolis lads, got off
the eastbound fast mail here last
Friday. They had run away from
home the night before, and had
gone as far as Breckenridge in a
refrigerator car. There they got
off to wait for another chance to
"bum'' their way on, but they
never got any further. For some
reason or other Walter developed a
bad case of ''cold feet", and he in
sisted on going back home, and. al
tho William, who was making his
second trip, tried his best to persu-
ade him that it wouldn't do to be
a piker. Walter remained firm in
his decision, and so there was moth
ing else to do. The boys rode on
the blind baggage from Brecken-
ridge here, and they had the time
of their lives to stay on, for the
fast mail makes pretty good time.
They were more than pleased to
have Sheriff Bonde take care of
them, especially since they had only
20 cents between them. The par
ents were notified, and in the af-
ternoon the boys were placed on the
train bound for home.

TROUT LAw DISCUSSED.
Some Oppose Six-inch Limit, Commits
sioner Titcomb Fayors.


The joint committee on game and
fisheries gave a public hearing last even
ing on several bills now before the leg
islature bearing ON the length of trout
that can legally be caught and the
length of the open season. Speaker
Howe said he believed in special trout
legislation both for trout fishing and
deer hunting in different counties in the
state. He believed the open season for
trout in the lower counties of the state
should begin April I which would pre-
vent the mobbing on the streams May
or May Is.
In regard to the length Of trout that
can legally be caught, Speaker Howe
SAID he was not in favor Of the six
inch law, which is enforced only in spots
in Vermont, Trout under six inches
are now thrown back by honest fisher
men and many Of them died. Those
trout would be saved and would be Of
benefit to some one If the six-inch law
was repealed. Mr.. Howe thought the
open season should not exceed, three
months. Mr. CARL of Canaan agreed
with Mr.. Howe in regard to the six
inch law and urged a month longer open
season for lake and pond fishing.
Colby Stoddard Of Newport spoke for
the fishermen Of Orleans county, through
which five rivers run and in which are
many lakes and ponds in which can be
found splendid fishing The fishing in
that county is growing better every
year, and it is immaterial when the
season opens. For the smaller streams
Mr. Stoddard believed the season should
open early and remain until September
/.
Frank d. Thompson Of Barton advo-
Gated opening the season for stream fish
ing April Is, and for closing BY August
while the trout are spawning He
believed the catch should be- limited to
six pounds in one day.
John W. Titcomb Of Lyndonyille,
state fish and game commissioner, said
he was in favor Of protective laws that
are supported by public sentiment, and
in having these laws as few as pos
slbIe He believed In six-inch law,
as fish under that length rarely spawn
The splendid fishing in Orleans county
is due to artificial propagation. Brook
trout in this state rarely spawn until
the last of September or in October
Mr. Ttcomh believed in a limit as to
the number Of pounds Of lake trout
and on the total number Of brook trout
to be caught in one day

AssAILTNG PROHIBITION IN MAINE


1t is well-laid scheme which the
opponents Of the prohibitory law in
Maine propose to carry through, The
Democratic party is quite generally in
control throughout the state, not only in
he election of Mr. Plaisted as governor,
but in the selection of Democrats for
'heriffs in two.thirds of the counties OF
ihe state, upon whom devolves much Of
he work of enforcing the law. When
hey assume their Offices, these Democrats
propose to put through a rigid enforce
nent Of the prohibitory law, as never
before, and then they will endeavor to
ret resubmission OF the constitutional
amendment imposing statewide prohibi,
lion. Here is cause and effect combined,
he driving of people from the shield of
hypocrisy into open opposition TO the
present liquor law. BY so doing, the
opponents Of the law hope to make a
majority Of Maine voters nauseated with
'igid enforcement of the law, so that
when the question of resubmission comes
hey will be anxious to rid the state
