Hard Row 10 Hoe.

In the city police court, today, there
were over a score of men called before

answer the charge Of vagrancy. The
arrests were made by the police Satur-

men were found in the railroad yards,

What caused the CHANGE.

Cincinnati Times-Star: When Gen.
Tasker Fl. Bliss comes on from Cali
fornia to take command of the army's
Department of the East he will meet
a band Of old comrades here, who re-
member him with especial affection
from the days of the Spanish -Ameri-
can war. At the Army and Navy
club they tell with especial spirit
some of General Bliss early exploits,
not all of which were marked by that
reverence for discipline that West
Point presumably instills into the
young dog-soldier.
"He was in command of a detach-
ment in Porto Rico during the war;
said one veteran. "His detachment
was just about big enough to make a
nice audience at moving picture
show. Near by was good sized viii
lage, held by an overwhelming force
of Spaniards Look out was the order
given to Bliss. Don't let the Span
iards sneak up on you. There are
enough of them to exterminate your
men. At the first sign of hostilities
fall back eight miles. Fall farther
back If the Spaniards attack YOU
Gen. Bliss received the orders In
military silence The next day the
commander-in- in-chief of the American
forces made a daring reconnaissance
in force, in order to discover the
whereabouts of the enemy. Bliss was
not where he had been left. There
were no signs that he had fallen back.
After advancing with great trepida-
ton the commander-in -in-chief finally
discovered Bliss sitting in front of
the hut of the mayor OF the large viii
lige, which had been held by the ene-
my. No Spaniards were in sight.
From every hut came the sound of
chanking teeth and smacking lips.
What the ultimate end of all infidels
does this mean? roared the c. o. I
told you to fall back-not to attack
Couldn't help it, said Bliss calmly
putting at his cigarette. My men have
been hungry for a week-and some
squaw up here got to frying onions.
You know you can't hold white man
when he smells frying onions
Where are these unmitigated, flat
bellied, flap-eared hoodlums of yours
now? howled the c. o.
TN those huts," said Bliss. Frying

Huntina for Roatd and Room.

1t was interesting to note the en-
ployes of the carnival company as they
wended their way about Moorhead, to-
day, looking for quarters for Sleep
ing and eating. Weary looking act
resses, chorus girls, vaudeville per-
formers and bandsmen, all carrying
well filled grips and suitcases, were
searching for places to live during the
week they will be in Moorhead, but
all in vain. They had not been told
that Moorhead's hotel was burned to
the ground, several months ago, and
the hotels available were not to their
liking. Three pretty girls paused at
the First National bank corner and in
"a beseeching sort of way asked, "Will
you kindly direct us to a place where
we can obtain room and board for
the week, in this town, or kindly give
us the name Of medium priced hotels
in Fargo?" Msst of them wanted to
live on the European plan.

Kansas City in naming public school
after Col. r. T. Van Horn, former edi-
tor Of The Journal, recalls a story
which the late Frank Montgomery, for
many years writer for Topics. enjoyed
telling. Montgomery had a fine sense
of humor.
One day Mr. Montgomery was hard
at work on his Topics column, it
being written out of Topeka then as
now. A knock came at the door.

''Mohnin' sah," came through the
door and the salutation was followed
by a gray-headed negro Of the "befoh

said Montgomery.

asked the negro, with ceremony in his
manner and the utmost courtesy in his
voice and demeanor.

COOPER CASE
CONTINUED over
JUDGE POLLOCK OPENED TRAIL
COUNTY TERM or THE Dis
TRIcT COURT TODAY AND MUIR
DER TRIAL is CONTINUED OVER
PENDING ILLNESS.

Judge Pollock OF Fargo opened the
Train county term of the district
court this morning at Hillsoro and the
trial of McLain Cooper was continued
over until the next term.
At the present time Cooper is out
on $4,000 all furnished by his father.
The charge of murder will probably be
preferred against him if his victim
dies and the court postponed the
trial pending the illness and daily
expected death of the victim of
Cooper.
This spring while Cooper's father
was away, young Cooper became en-
gagged in dispute with Frank Ross
the foreman at the Cooper farm. The
men argued over the question of who
was in authority at the farm and hot
words were exchanged.
IT is alleged that young Cooper
went to the house and secured a gun
and shot Ross through the back, down
ing him in his tracks An examination
was made of Ross after he was taken
to the hospital and 1t was found that
the bullet had penetrated his spinal
column. Ross has been paralyzed
since the accident in the part of the
body where the bullet struck the spianl
cord.
The expected death Of Ross any day,
has lead to the postponement hearing,
the states attorney of Trail county
awaiting to see if the murder charge
should be placed against Cooper.
Cooper comes from one of the most
highly respected and oldest families
in Trail county. He was formerly
a student at Culver Military academy
and for some time attended the North
Dakota Agricultural college in Fargo

1t is pretty safe to say that 1t will

Mr.. Mackanzie says the vital point at
this time Is to make the farmers realize
that this is the time, and only time.
to make preparations for the class Of
exhibits which are wanted.
Farmers should see to 1t that their
grains, grasses and clover are well
cured. All grain should be cut just
as it is beginning to turn color and all
grains and grasses should be cut close
to the roots and tied at the root end
and hung up in the shade to cure. Lat
er and as they mature root crops will
be wanted.
