Twenty centuries ago men were

how much marble is contained in this
range Of Italian mountains. Though
they have been opened for 1000 years,
and. as stated, the mining methods
are attended with enormous waste, It
10 known that vast beds Of the marble
still exist By digging longer and
longer tunnels and shafts an inex.

the beds are so extensive that some
OF the mines are worked at q height
OF over a mile above the sea, while
many Of the workings are over 1000
feet above the sea. This is a great
advantage to the Italians, however,
because methods are still in use in
Quarrying and getting out the marble

A Breckenridge Correspondent
Says,

Wien passing between Breck-
enridge and Wahpeton, near
the bridge, you will notice a
fine row of business adds along
the solid plank fence, which
was recently built, by Sheriff
Moody of Wahpeton.
Sheriff Moody wanted solid
fence, along the north side of
his yards. and when completed
will answer several important
purposes. LIST. 1t prevents
teams from getting frightened
and jumping down the steep
bank. 2nd. Holdup artists can.
not rush out of the weeds and
do their work and then jump
back in the dark and disappear.
3rd. It keeps campers and pot
gangs from making their homes
near the bridge. 9TH. It i'm.
proves the looks of the street,
generally, and makes the best
advertising medium, in both
cities; and Moody has a fine
fence, and all it cost him va
the labor, and all the adds cost
the business men, was the &C,
tual cost of the material need
ed to fill the space they occupy.
It is hard to find q man that
can outigure Sheriff Moody on
a proposition of this kind aud
you will always find him public
spirited and ready to boost for
his friends, and anything he
does, is always done we'll and
with some system. Sheriff
Moody is booster and a good
one at that.

Concerning the great turtles of the

Law and Lynch Law.

The burning alive of negro.
under circumstances of unex-
ampled atrosity at Coatesville,
Pa, is appalling evidence of the
spread of the mob spirit in its
worst from. 1t proves that law
lessness is not sectional, that
the brute in man is liable to
make it's presence manifest in
the oldest and most populous
communities as we'll as in re,
mote and sparsely settled dis
tricte, and that respect for the
processes of law and the sacred
ness of human life needs to be
instilled in the north as we'll as
in the south and west. Moral
and civic education is the ulti-
mate preventive of recurrence
of such horrors as that in this
Pennsylvania town. But en-.
lightenment is always of slow
growth, and in the meantime
quick and practical methods
must be sought to safeguard
the country against mob VOL
euce.
What such methods ought to
be, is az we'll exemplified by
the duty of the authorities on
the scene of the Coatesville
lynching, as by any instance
that can be named. 1t is evi
dent that where a mob was 90
numerous as that in Coates
Vile, there must be means of
discovering the identity of
many of the participants. 1t is
impossible for hundreds of men
to keep a secret. There will al.
ways be somebody less obsti-
nate, less hardened, or with
more disposition to loquacious-
ness than, others, and it is
among the members of that
detectives of it's crime must be
sought. If the criminals are
found, and guilt is fastened to
them, it will be a sign the
authorities have done good
work, and that juries have done
their duty. But if this lynch
ing goes unpunished, or made.
quately punished, it will be a
proof that law end order in that
community are powerless, and
inexcusably 80. When the pen
atty for a.lynching murder is
brought home to guilt as sure
ly as the penalty for any other
crime, there will be an end of
lynch law in the United States,

Features of Game.
[By CREsroN MADpoCKl

Heppner lost a loosely played
game to Eight Mile, Sunday after
noon, by a score of II to IL. Ell
der held the visitors down to two
runs but gave way to Jones in the
fifth inning. On account of bad
arm Jones' slab work was not a
success. He hit Elliot, the first
man up, and walked Mayes, these
connected with numerous errors let
in three runs. Elder went on the
rubber again in the ninth inning
with the score tied. He famed
the first three men up. Heppner
also, was retired without a man
reaching first. In the tenth Rood
made first, stole second and scored
on an error by Elder. Both pitch
ers had bad support. Orawford's
bingle to left field connected with
an error resulted in a home run.
He also did some fast work around
third. Yeager's timely hitting
and star work at shortstop are
among the important features of
the game. Hale made his debut
as a catcher and proved to be a
classy backstop.
