ADAMS COUNTY RECORD
TELLS OF N0RT0H'S AUTHORITY

P. D. Norton has found out just what
it means to be governor of North Da-
kota. Fact is he really has been
governor. Govern or Burke is frolicing
around in the east with bunch of other
governors who are telling about and
showing the eastern people what we in
the west can produce in the way of gov
ernors, pumpkins and ''sich. In the
meantime Lieuentant Governor Burdick
is in Pittsburg trying to figure out just
what particular office HIS capital will
allow him to run for next year. so that
leaves the Secretary of State as the act
ing governor. AS such official Mr.. Nor
ton was called upon on last Saturday
evening to authorize the mayor of Wah-
peton to call out Company of the state
militia to apprehend a desperate char
acter who had shot and killed Sheriff
Moody of Richland county. The author
ity was granted and the militia men
got their man after running battle in
which the desperate was shot through
the head and instantly killed. This is
probably the first time in the history of
the state that the Secretary of State has
been called upon to act as chief execu-
tive and it is the first time that the mi
litia has been called out since the Bis
marck company made the desperate
charge on Tommy Poole's quarters when
the governor wished to reject that obsti-
nate official from his office in the capi-
tol and sever that persistent gentle
mems connection with q pay roll with
which he had been very closely connect
ed for an indefinite term of years.

South Sea Islanders Keep Young Wo-

In some parts of New Britain the
natives have n custom of placing
young women in strict seclusion before
marriage by imprisoning them In cages
for several years until they reach n
marriageable age.
The Rev. George Brown, who has
spent many years of his life in the
south sea islands endeavoring to stamp
out polygamy and cannabalism among
the natives, describes how on one 90.
casion he inspected a number of these
human cages. The atmosphere inside
them was hot and sitting. He says:
"The cage was quite clean and con
tained nothing but a few lengths of
bamboo for holding water There was
only room for girl TO sit or lie down
in crouched position on the bamboo
platform, and when the doors were
shut it must have been nearly or quite
dark inside.
"They are never allowed to come out
except once day to bathe in n dish
or wooden bowl placed close to each
cage. They are placed in the cages
when quite young and must remain
there until their marriage"

TWO PLAYERS WHO HAVE CAUGHT BALLS
THROWN FROM MONUMENT AND ONE WHO

complished the feat with the use Of a
catcher's glove. Elberfeld plans to go
them one better, as he hopes to turn
the trick wearing regular infielder's
glove, which is as much protection as
paper in comparison with the big mitt
worn by the receivers. Here is the
way Elberfeld dopes it out:
"The monument is $50 feet high, and
the. experts say that the velocity of
the ball when it reaches the ground
has a value of 600 pounds in weight.
Maybe so, but I'll bet that line drives
straight from the bat to me at third
base come just as hard as any ball
tossed from the top of that monument.
"At the base they come quicker, too,
not giving man much time to gauge
their line or movement. To catch a
ball thrown from the famous monu-
ment means nothing more to a good
ball player than judging its fall. 1
think can do it."
Elberfeld may have the painful eX-
perience of losing one or both hands
by the attempt, but he wants to try 1t,
and his team mates know him well
enough not to offer any advice.

Is recrudescence of an ancient war
between the departments of Marne and
Aube as to which of them should be

To have the origin of the trouble
understood it is necessary to go back
thirty years, when every vine dresser
owned his own strip of land. In those
days there were 200 vineyard owners
In Venteuil alone against only forty
today. Thirty years ago the big deal
ers of Rheims and Epernay paid high
prices to the growers. In 1891 many
of these large concerns commenced TO
buy up vineyards themselves, and, as
many of the small holders refused TO
sell, a phylloXera scare was engineer
ed which induced some of them to
yield
Two years later many new cham
pagne houses started business. These
firms imported wine from other parts
of France, gave it the same treatment
as the real article and sold it as gen
uine champagne. These houses were
wise enough to buy up recognized vine
yards. They produced on the spot only
10000 gallons of wine, but sold 4,000,-
600 gallons under the name Of the par
ticular vineyard in which they made
their headquarters.

Then Germany began to compete
with fake champagne, and the lot of
the old vine dresser became steadily

succession Of bad harvests, and the dis

fective.
The immediate cause Of the blood
shed and sacking that have been going
on started with the act of the govern
ment in excluding the sparkling wine
of Aube from the champagne class, to
which it had always been assigne
heretofore.
On March 10 last the inhabitants of
the department of the Aube joined in
demonstration of protest at Bar-sur
Aube. Thousands of vineyard owners
and workers went on rampage. They
made bonfires of tax demand notes
stuffed in grape baskets, flew the red
flag over their municipal buildings and
burned effigies of their so called enc
mics. The municipal councils of more
than sixty towns and villages resigned
collectively, and a procession of over
10000 workers marched through the

On April II there were fresh mani

the action of the senate on the previ-

The administration is continuing to
