Male Eashions In 1850.

Male fashions of 1850 had other DIS.
comforts besides long hair. Trousers
were tight and buttoned under the foot
with broad straps. Every man who
aspired to be well dressed wore his
coat so high in the collar that the
back Of the hat rested on it. This
fashion was so prevalent that. accord
ing to Sir Algernon West, "every hat
had crescent of cloth on the back Of
the brim to prevent the rubbing ofethe
beaver or Imitation beaver Of which
the hat was made, for silk hats were
not then invented" And from the
same authority we learn that "opera
hats were unknown, and in the even
ing a folding .chapeau bras was al.
ways carried under the arm. Nobody
but an apothecary or solicitor would
have dreamed Of leaving his hat ip
the hall of the house where he was
calling or dining."-I1ondon Chronicle.

nERlDl1Y| CAUSE OF
:: IfEEBLE:::.MlNDED!NESS

Grafton Record: At the annual
meeting Of the North Dakota Medical
Association held in Grand Forks
DR.. H. A. LaMoure, superintendent
of the Institution for Feeble Minded,
read a paper on the DUTY of the
State to the Feeble-Minded." The pa
per was we'll received by the asso-
citation and its contents and recon-
mendations favorably commented on
Some of the facts contained in the
paper are so startling that they
should command the attention of the
public. The doctor stated that a
conservative estimate of the feeble
minded and epileptic population OF
North Dakota was about 1900, while
but 1853 of that population were being
cared for in the institution, and the
authorities of the institution had no
legal power to retain these inmates
or compel their committal.
The doctor said in part: Few real

and crime, or the great burden OF
taxation caused by our feeble-minded
population. Expressed in dollars and
cents, q human life has been estimat.
ed to be worth about $4,000. On q
basis of 1000 cases this would mean
a loss to the state of $3,400,0O0. Whil7
q small portion of the feeble-minded
are able to contribute towards their
own support, the greater number are
a burden upon their families or ara
supported at public expense"
Continuing, he stated that heredity

TEST CASE IN Re.
!: I THE filing fees

Grand Forks, May 20.-Henry J.
johnson, through his attorneys, Fee
than & Elton, filed suit against
Grand Forks county and Hans An
derson, county auditor, for the pur-
pose of recovering money paid into
the county as fees for the filing of
petitions Of candidates for .nomina-
ton at the 1908 primaries. -~-~
This will prove one of the most
interesting of the cases to come be-
fore the June term of the district
court, as it will be the first attempt
to test the constitutionality of the
1907 law, regarding the payment of
fees for the filing of petitions. The
1907 law requires that fee, amount
ing to one per cent of the yearly sal
larry of the Office sought, shall be paid
the county auditor and that the pc
tition shall be signed by at least five
per cent of the legal voters casting
their ballot for the candidate at the
preceding election. Johnson has been
assigned the fees paid by several of
the candidates at the last primary
election, and started suit yesterday
to recover same from the county. In
1906 he was assigned the fees of
the candidates and brought suit to
recover them at that time, with the
result that the 1906 law was declared
unconstitutional and the money was
refunded him by the coGnty. This
decision was handed down in 1871.
The same year the Legislature adopt
ed the present law.
Decided to Accept Fees
The 1907 law has been subject
of much discussion among county
auditors and states attorneys
throughout the state. At the con-
ventions of these two state organiza.
tons in this city last week, it was
the consensus of opinion that the law
was unconstitutional and that it
would be declared as such If ever
tested. A number of the auditors,
however, stated that they had been
advised by their states attorneys to
accept the fees until the law was de-
clared unconstitutional. The fees,
however, should be accepted under
protest and kept as such, SO they
could be paid back If the law was
declared unconstitutional. Other
auditors state that their states at
torneys had advised them not to
accept the fees, as the law, being
similar to the one declared uncon-
stitutional, would in time be declared
as such.
The auditors, at one of their ses-
sions last week, agreed that all
should accept the fees until the law
had been declared unconstitutional,
labelling them paid under protest"
so that they could be readily refund
ed If necessary. The opinion of the
states, attorneys, alto assembled In
convention, was asked on the ques-
ton, and, after much debating, this
body agreed that the law was uncon-
stitutional and advised the auditors
accordingly; st. ing that the fees
could not be collected. :.
The matter will soon be brought up
for settlement one way or the other,
and the outcome of the case will be
watched for with great deal of in
terest throughout the state. How
ever, it is the consensus of opinion
of the auditors and states attorneys
in North Dakota that the law will be
declared unconstitutional.

NORTHERN PACIFIC and
The turtle lake Line

Ryder, N. D., May 20.-That the
Northern Pacific Railroad company
will extend its Turtle Lake line to a
point on the Missouri river and con-
tinue along the Little Missouri to Nc.
Kenzie county, seems to be a settled
fact in view of recent events.
The right of way men have been
working south of Ryder this week,
and have purchased right Of way over
the farms of T. J. Gilbertson, John
Brasfeld, Miss Shea and others. They
are also negotiating for the purchase
of forty acres of land from James
rLunning, situated about fourteen and
one-half miles southwest of Ryder. It
is likely that townsite will BE plat
ted there. 1t is said that a large
grading crew is being held in readi.
ness in Mandan to be sent out to
work on this line as soon as the
right of way is secured. About four
years ago the N. p. put out three diff.
ferent surveys through the country
south of Ryder, one of them passing
through the site of old Ryder, about
SIX miles south of the present town.
The air is full of railroad rumors,
and the public is anxiously awaiting
to learn what the 500 and Great
Northern will do. 1t is said that the
500 intends to commence work on
the extension of the Plaza line very
soon. 3: ,'. &c.,.
Nothing new has been heard regard
ing the Soo's intentionoto build from
Ryder to the reservation, but if they
finally decide to build, there will be
a merry race between the two roads
for the control of the rich territory
to the southwest of here.
The building of the 500 north from
Bismarck, its connection with the
main line at Drake, was followed
closely by the extension of the Car
rington branch of the Northern Pa
clfic to Turtle Lake, and still another
line from Pingree to Wilton.
