According to the opinion Of persons
who absorb their information from the
higher sources, those who have been
expecting the former president to take
sides in any of the factional rows that
have divided the republicans in many
states will be greatly disappointed. 1t
is pointed out that if the western trip
had taken place earlier in the summer
it might have been difficult for the
traveller to avoid giving aid to one

foot and half long and still burning,
into the town. The fire department
was called out and all buildings were
drenched. The smoke was so dense
that the electric lights had to be
turned on at o'clock in the after
noon. The fire broke into the Placer
creek basin, three and half miles
from Wallace, in the afternoon, and
the dense smoke floated into the val

Many citizens went out last night to
see the fire, which is burning near the
Hord ranch on the opposite side Of
the gulch. The flames are burning
away from the city.

Sbecial to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Jamestown, N. D., Aug. 12.-Upon
complaint made by Assistant Dairy
Commissioner Flint, States Attorney
Thorp today authorized the issuance
of a warrant against Anton Langhous'
or of Streeter, under the provisions OF
the act passed by the 1907 legislature
regulating the inspection of dairies IN
the state.
This is the first prosecution under
this law in the county, and the dairy
commission complains that Langhous'
er has maintained his creamery In
Streeter in an unsanitary condition,
and brought to the states attorney In
support of his allegations certain in
struments and tools used in the manu-
facture and testing Of butter, which
were in a filthy condition, and from
which arose a terrible stencil.
The dairy commissioner has been
making q thorough examination Of all
dairfes and creameries in the county
and finds the most OF them in sanitary
condition. When he dropped into
Streeter he was surprised at the un-
sanitary condition of the place. The
misdemeanor with which the owner Of
the creamery is charged is punishable
by a fine up to $50 or imprisonment
in the county Jail not exceeding ninety
days, or both fine and imprisonment.
States Attorney Thorp will prosecute
the case and several witnesses who
were with the commissioner on his
inspection as we'll as various exhibits
will be offered.

sERvATloN CONGRESS WILL NOT BE MIXED WITH POLITICS.

But now the states that have ex'
cited the greatest general interest in
the contest between the regulars and
insurgents have mostly had their pre-
liminary battles, and it is now ques'
tion between the republicans and
democrats, who are pitted for the
November struggle.
Kansas and Iowa have had their
primaries. Indiana and Ohio have
their tickets in the field. The former
president will strike Wisconsin the
next day following the primaries in
the hot-bed of factional strife. In
Illinois the primaries will not be held
until a week after the ex.president's
visit there, but in Illinois, although
the home of Speaker Cannon, the per-
sonal element does not enter into the
situation as it does in other states
of the middle west, whence hail ma
tional leaders in the insurgent move
ment.
The conservation congress and the
primaries in Minnesota will be in close
proximity, but it is taken for granted
that care will be observed not to get
the two things entangled so far as
Colonel Roosevelt is concerned.

Webster, s. D., Aug. 12.-There has
been talk that a railroad would b
built from Watertown passing north
through Day county into North Da

the road would be q continuation Of
the Dakota Central, which would be
absorbed by the Rock Island system
Following these rumors there ap.
peared on the scene a smooth-talking
individual calling himself Capt. Fred
Myrn, who said he was the agent Of
the interests behind the road. He
spent several months arranging for
right-of-way, selecting townsites, and
incidentally selling stock in the new
road to business men and farmers.
Just how much cash and notes he &C.
cured is not known.
The stranger went so far as to file
blue prints covering the location of
tho new road, and had himself inter.
viewed by local papers.
Yesterday Chief Of Police Martin re-
ceived from Dickinson, N. D., a re-
quest for the arrest of any person
calling himself Capt. Henry Myrn,
stating that his real name is Charles
I. Merry and that he is an old offender,
and wanted there to begin a sentence
for swindling. He cannot be
found, however, and the railroad stock
has declined several points.

Rome, Dec. 9,-Among the an

the canons of the church is of special
interest, This pertains to the age at
which children may first receive holy

Heretofore it has been the custom
among priests in the English speaking
countries not to administer the sac
rament unless a child is between the
ages of 10 and u.
