be built adjoining the government
printing office. Mr.. Donnelly drew
on the civil service, commission for
an additional bricklayer. A colored
man named Moore was certified
by the commission and Mr.. ID onnelIy
put him to work The white brick
layers struck, and told the public
PRINTER that they could not work
alongside a Negro Mr. Donnelly
could see no reason for such an OBJ
lection and declined to discharge
the colored man. The whites quit,
and the black workman toiled on
alone. Then the happy thought
struck the strikers. They, as an af-
terthought, claimed that Moore was
reason for quitting ana agreed to
return to work if Moore should be
Put off. The public printer would
not yield, and Moore worked on.
Five or six more Negroes were found
~ and placed on the wall, the white
men still out. Under a searching
inquiry flaw was discovered in
Moores civil service papers, which
Jed to his discontinuance, but the
ether Negroes were kept on the Job,
until now it is practically completed.
The striking whites are in bad"
and will probably never cover their
standing in the Office. In the mean.
time the unionists are continuing
their warfare on Mr.. DOnnelly and
are threatening to ask the president
to remove him from office, with the
further threat to vote against the
the president if he dares refuse their
request. This is union tyranny run
mad. Of course, President Taft will
not be moved by any such dema-
gogic conduct. Moore may be REIN

ALASKAN CASE

FARGO, Sept. 21-As a result of
his invasion of the Alaskan gold field
in 1899, where he laid out a valuable
claim, andrew Jensen, a well known
man living at Buffalo in this county,
has been called upon to furnish testi.
mony in one of the most important
cases that ever came before the at
tention of the courts Of Alaska.
The case is Pioneer Mining Co. VS..
the Pacific Coal & Transportation Co.,
and has to do with certain boundaries
of claims laid out years ago. Mr..
Jensen offered his testimony by depo-
sition before E. c. Gearey. jr., clerk
of the county court.
In 1899 Jensen went to Alaska and
was on the ground when the gold dis.
covery became known. He staked out
a cain which adjoined the same one
as that Of Linderberg, the Dane who
discovered the Alaskan gold. Later
he sold his claim to party and the
man who purchased it sold it to the
Pioneer Mining company.
While in Alaska Jensen assisted a
friend in locating a claim and the
claim of the friend afterwards became
the property of the Pacific Coal &
Transportation 20.
Both claims later developed to be
abundant in ore and the claim of Jen-
sen was especially rich. The owners
of the two claims have gotten into a
dispute relative to the boundary lines
between their PROPERTY.
Jensen's deposition told how he had
located his claim and where, accord
ing to the plan drawn and sent here,
he had set out his stakes. He also
gave in his deposition some informa-
ton regarding which claim, in his
opinion, was prior.
The testimony of the Cass county
man is thought to have a most i'm
portant bearing " the Case, which
will be tried in the Alaskan courts.
Jensen was an intimate friend Of
Linderberg, the first person to find
gold in Alaska and the two men lived
side by side. Linderberg went to the
far north for the government for the
purpose Of securing reindeers, and
while there he discovered the gold:
He is now the president of the zion

SAGE TEA WILL

Restore Faded and Gray Hair Is
Natural Color-Dandruff
Quickly Removed.

There is nothing new about re
idea of using sage for restoring the
color of hte hair. Our great-grand-
mothers kept their locks soft, dark
and glossy by using a "sage tea"
Whenever their hair fell out or took
on a dull, faded or streaked oppear-
ance they made brew of sage leaves
and applied it to their hair, with won
derfully beneficial effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort
to old-time, tiresome methods of gath
ering the herbs and making the tea.
This is done by sk:llful chemists bet
ter than we could do it ourselves, and
all We have to do is to call for the
ready-made product, Wyeth's Saga
and Sulphur Hair Remedy, contain.
ing sage in the proper strength, with
the addition of sulphur another old
time scalp remedy.
The manufacturers of this remedy
authorize druggists to sell it under
guarantee that the money will re re.
funded If it fails to do exactly as rep
resented.

SUGAR PRICES SOAR TO
UNEQUALLED Heights
RECORD BREAKING PRICE OF
$7.25 PER HUNDRED IS
REACHED,
Reason Assigned by Local Whole.
saIers is Shortage Of Crop and Burn
ing of Big Refinery.

Sugar is at present one of the clos
est rivals of Lincoln Beachey for the
altitude record. The price of sugar
now is higher than it has been at any
time for the last twenty years. The
New York basis price for the COM
modify is $7.25 per hundred pounds
and at the time of this report the
price is still going skyward at a
startling rate. In the last score Of
years this price has never been
equalled and the closest approach was
in 1891 when the price of sugar went
up to Sc 81 per hundred pounds.
The reason for this high price at
the present time is the shortage Of
the sugar cane crop and the burning
of the plant of Arbucle Brothers, who
owned one Of the largest reflneries in
the world.
