Heavy Fine and Jail Sentence for shor
Change Artist.

F1eaNy Fne ano jail Sentence for Short
Change Artist.
Grand Forks, N. D., July 4.-Otto
Schultz, who was arrested by Chief of
Police Lowe, charged with working
the short change stunt on several To-
cal merchants, was arraigned and fined
500, besides being sentenced to serve
thirty days in the county Jail. The
probabilities are that he will have to
spend eighty days in jail, however, as
he was unable to produce the mazunna.
The game employed by the fellow is g
regular old timer. and it is somewhat
surprising that he worked it with so
little difficulty. Upon going into a
store he would purchase some small
article worth about 10 cents. A $40
bill would then be presented and
changed. When the $40 bill and 50. 80
was returned in change, Schultz sud
denly discovered 10 cents in his pocket.

CFEILDREN's DRESS.
Paris Pattern No. 1926
All Seams Allowed.

Little people of today most assuredly
look just like pretty dolls in the new
styles created for their benefit. The
French dress. 30 long familiar to us, Is
one of the most becoming of the many
styles for very little children. This sea-
son the French dress is being used in
making dresses of houncing, and we
have taken advantage of this idea to
provide model which will be most eff
fective in this material. The yoke and
the panels in front will be pretty IL cut
from tucking, while the balance may be
of plain or scalloped houncing or other
fabric. The tiny skirt is hardly more
than a ruffle in itself and will never
look better than If made of founcing.
Plain materials may have the edges
worked by hand or hemmed and de-
sign In cotton braid worked along the
edge. The pattern is cut in sizes, 2, 4
and years. To make the dress in the
medium size viii require 2 yards Of ma
terial ss inches wide, or II made of
founcing yards of 12-inch fiouncing. "
yard 1s-inch tucking, 2& yards Of bead
Ing and AZ yards of ribbon.

THIS, TOO, WILL PASS"

A Chicago minister has had some
thing to say about the prize fight which
is about to occur in Nevada. He is in
dignant that the contest should be per-
mitted-and he has number Of rather
extravagant things to say on the sub
ject
He would have Nevada's charter as
state taken from it, and have it re-
stored to the condition Of being a ter
ritory, governed from Washington.
He would have the newspapers re-
porting the battle barred from the
mails as other improper" matters are
barred.
And he declares that zone such prize
fight sets back our civilization many
generations"
The minister in question may have
been adopting an easy course of gain
ing publicity, as a few ministers have
been known to debut very likely he
was quite sincere in all he said.
He permitted his zeal in what he
regarded as a good cause to carry him
to unreasonable lengths.
There are a great many refined and
pleasant people who, happily, do not
care for prize fights They are not
forced to see them, and they are not
compelled to read about them-any
more than they are compelled to read
details of any other story which does
not appeal to them.
But there are men Of harder fibre
men who are, be it remembered. good
and useful citizens. 1t would be a
gross injustice to attempt to force them
to the aesthetic attitudes maintained
by men like the Chicago minister.
There are men who eat soup with
great noise, and drink their coffee
from the saucer, and wear no collars
in public-and who work eight or ten
hours day in manful earnest-and
insist that their children respect the
rights Of others-and who pay their
debts and ask no favors. They are
admirable citizens, who are none the
worse because they never have read
Ibsen, and have a vague idea that Ber-
nard Shaw is fortune teller. Nobody
thinks it right to force them to con-
form to the ways of men who are made
of rather more delicate fibre.
What right, then, has one to con-
clude that the man who is interested
in prize fighting is to be harmed there
by? There are school teachers and
even ministers who are willing to per-
NIT boys, hardy and evenly matched;
to fight it OUT when they disagree.
Prize fighting is really not fighting
at all. 1t is a contest And as long
as all forms of athletics pay their trib-
ute every year in the way of fatalities
why make such wry face over the
one form of physical endurance in
which, beneath the surface every red
blooded man is interested more or less
even if it be only afar off?

INCREASING MENTs.

The present board of equalization for
the city is drawing the fire of the prop
erty owners. 1t is the usual custom
for those who are assessed to inveigh
against those who fix the amounts. This
year the equalizers are apparently de-
termined to increase the assessed val
uations to greater degree than ever
before.
One Of the advantages of a high as
sessment is a CORRESPONDENCE low rate
OF taxation. In theory it is an idea,
proposition. The increased assessment
would listen like the city was wealthy
land the decreased rate of taxation
would sound good to prospective buy
ers--and the same amount of money
could easily be raised.
Were Fargo property assessed only
for city purposes the value placed on
property would be immaterial for q
certain amount of money has to be
raised and 1t doesn't matter whether
it's on $1.o00,OOo at 5 per cent--or OF.

erty is assessed at twice the value OF

Travellers Tales

II used to be very religious" said the
thin traveller last evening as he was
sitting in the lobby Of one of the city
hotels listening to the gossip of a num-
Der of travelling men and taking part
himself whenever the opportunity af-
forded.
Yes, l used to be very religious" he
repeated, but had it all driven out of
me by two curious events, brought
about one by bad boy and the other
by the fact that my mind would get
to wandering when it should have been
turned to thoughts heavenly and di-
vine. One day was out in the rural
district selling paper flour sacks. l
had been keeping company with a pious
young lady and she persuaded me into
joining church. I never was good at
making prayer, but when called the
afternoon referred to on a good old
miller to sell him a bill of goods and
he invited me to dinner, couldn't re-
fuse. Just before the meal he asked me
to say grace, and 1 started in ferventIy.
Somehow or other l couldn't keep my
eyes closed, but had them glued to the
back of the upturned plates, and on
DTlnLeQ
Tronstone Chinaware.' That was all I
could think Of and when I got right in
the middle Of the blessing blamed if
the words didn't slip out. we thank,
Thee, Heavenly Father, for fronstone
chinaware.' / saw what / had done at
once and Immediately got up and left
the table and didn't sell the bill that
time or any other.
"One time / went to visit a Sunday
school in a different city from where I
had been living and as l knew I was
to make a speech / learned it off by
heart, and when called upon got up
and talked right we'll. l knew l was
getting along winded, and so I said
in the middle of my speech, And what
shall / say next and a little devil of
a boy in the Sunday school squeaked
| out, Amen That last l think was
what caused me to become a back
slider"
John Clark, the well known travel
ing machine man of this city has but
recently returned from a trip to Mon
tana and he was well pleased with
what he saw. Said he: 'I think Mon
! lures and there are some good pros
| poets, one or two OF which / am going
| to look into the next time / go out

project, but it is grazing and wheat
raising. / just wish they had a good
big town like Fargo near where have
been and I'd do some business. Things
don't look very bad in Montana"
James Collins OF Grand Forks was in
the city Saturday at the professional
shoot. He is the representative for
this section of the Winchester fire arms
people and he brought with him to the
city Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Topperwein, two
of the very best woman and man shots
1 in the United States. Mr.. Collins said
that he was heartily in favor of the
state gun club and he wished there
/ were more clubs In this state that
would make it their business to see
that the laws in regard to hunting out
of season were observed He says there
| is no reason why the state of NORTH
Dakota should not be one of the best
game bird states in the whole union
IL the laws were respected. He is oil
the opinion that there will be plenty
of game the coming season.

TO DEFEAT HIM
FOR GOVERNOR
VOTED AGAINST G0NFEDS
Tried While a Member of Legis1a-
tore in 1895 to Tax Everybody
SO. Except the Lawyers

After persistent search for candi
date against whom none might say
aught, the republican convention dis
covered a man named Hooper who was
acceptable and against whom nothing
was found, chiefly because he had ney.
er done anything.
The ordinary and average republican
is politically distasteful and,Tepugnant
TO all democrats and to most Tennessee
ans. He is not southerner, and has
no pleasure in southern institutions
and no delight in southern progress.
He is usually transplanted from other
climates and out of harmony with our
people and our traditions. lie is oppos-
ed to Confederate pensions and state
aid for those who carry sears of ether
days, and believes the hardships of re-
construction days were justified and
merited
So when the convention assembled
to make a bid for the support Of men
they once oppressed, it was Necessary to
have a republican candidate with As
little record as man can make and
with personality as insipid as glass
Of water. Hooper seemed TO meet the
requirements. His friends urged that
he had never done anything and there
could be nothing against him. Such
argument was plausible aud conyinc-
ing, and he was chosen not for the
good he has done, but for the trick he
was expected to turn.
Our knowledge of Mr.. Hooper leads
us to believe that he is no worse than
any other bad republican. He appears
to possess the usual antipathy for the
south, and is as unfriendly to it as
Newell Sanders or ri. Clay Evans. We
make no speclous indictment against |
him, nor would we seek his defeat by
spurious charges, but from casual |
and more or less superficial examina-
ton of his brief legislative activities,
we believe he is not a man whom |
southern men to the manor born can
support or trust. He was member of
the legislature in 1898. Examine
House journal, page 6l3, and you will
find he voted MOI on senate bill No.
Fl. This bill provided an appropriation
Tor the Confederate Home The bill
passed, and the tottering and feeble
guard of the Old South was fed and
sheltered even if Mr.. Hooper did OPP
pose it.
Mr.. Hooper has consistent record,
although brief, and when he was re-
turned to the legislature in 1895, he
voted against house bill No. SIS. This
was another vote against appropriating
money for the Confederate Home. Mr..
Hooper's conviction along this line is
steadfast He opposed any aid for the
Confederate veterans in 1898 and he OPP
posed it in 1895 and he opposes it now.
In 1895 an amendment was offered
oy Mr.. Hooper providing the assess
nent of a tax of $40 on all preachers,
school teachers, editors, far
ners, blacksmiths, shoemalkers ana all
county and state officers. The amend
lent was promptly tabled, as can be
from the House Journal of
