WARRANT, Proprietors Of Store
Get Continuance

: .
Messrs. A. Haskell and /. Frankel,
proprietors of the Peoples Store,
made two trips to st. Cloud last
week at the behest of the county au-
thorities. Their first trip, taken ON
Thursday, as recited in the last issue
of The Herald, on a warrant issued
by the county authorities charging
violation Of the law against tran
sient merchants" as enacted by the
legislature of 1911, was followed on
Friday by a second The first case
was heard by Justice w. H. Alden
and resulted in dismissal on TECH
nicality.
Immediately thereupon County At
torney J. B. Himsl s'got busy" again
with the result that Messrs. Haskell
and Frankel, who had returned TO Sank
Centre on the noon train Thursday
and who opened their store for BUSH
ness in the afternoon, were arrested
again that evening on new warrant,
served, in this case as in the other,
by Deputy Sheriff Jas. Connolly, who
came up on the evening Flyer for
that purpose. MI. Connolly took
the two men to st. Cloud on the Flyer
Friday morning and they were ar
raigned at O'Clock in the afternoon
before Justice J. I. Donohue. The
men pleaded net guilty and the hear
ing was continued until Friday, May
Is. At that time, the court will de-
terrnine whether they will be held to
the grand jury.
Meantime they are running their
store just as if nothing had happened
to them. The county; of course, win
do nothing further until the case set
for Friday is disposed of. The city
is not at all likely to do anything as
long as the county case Is pending.
Tie legal status of the case, 50 far
as the state is concerned is as follows:
There are three laws on the statute
books defining itinerant merchants,
and naming the punishment. In the
revised laws Of 1905 it is given on de-
hnltion and made gross misdemean-
or. In 1907 the legislature passed an
other law concerning itinerant merS
chants and forget to repeal the law of
1905. Finally in the last session of
the legislature another law was passed
making ita gross misdemeanor, and
neither of the previous laws were le-
pealed.

CAIRO, March Especial to The BeeD-
The political unrest, which may be said
to have reached its eliminating point with
the assassination of Boutros Pasha last
February, has subsidized with unexpected
rapidity since Sir Edward Greys state
ment In the House Of Commons last July
put an end to the doubts and conjectures
regarding the aims and intentions OF Brit
ish policy; while the assurance that the
cotton crop OF the present year will, in
view of its excellence and the high prices
prevailing in the worlds markets, prove
TO be In every sense a record" has in
spired a feeling OF confidence in regard to
economic conditions which cannot fail to
react favOrably upon the political sltua-
ton.
Occasional instances OF INSTRUMENTATION,
assuming a political character. will no
doubt, occur from time TO time among
students and schoolbOys. But, regrettable
as such incidents must be considered and
unfortunate as is the impression they pro-
duce. especially abroad, there does not at
present appear TO be any reason for at
taching to them any sinister Significance.

Increase of Crime
Quite Marked in

Investigator of the Home Office is
Inclined to lay Blame on

LONDON, March. 4.-(special TO The Bee. }
H b. Simpson, c. B., of the home office,
has written a critical introduction to a
blue book giving statistics of crime in
England and Wales during 1903.
The number OF persons tried for an indict-
able offence during the year, 67.14s was
less than the total for 1908 7s,14s), but is
considerably larger than the correspond
ing figure for any previous year The
figures point to a steady increase OF Grim
inality during the last ten years. and the
real increase IN crime is probably even
greater than is shown by the record OF
prosecutions.
Mr. Simpson points to the marked growth
OF the sentiment OF compassion for the
criminal. resulting in mitigation of
prison discipline, the Probation OF Offenders
act, and the establishment OF the Borstal
system. These, he confidently anticipates.
will in the long run help to diminish crime.
and he deprecates excessive risor towards
law-breaker who are not "habituals. p" but.
he says. the sentiment which has found
public expression has gone beyond the
desire 10 facilitate an offence return to the
path of honesty. Crime is sometimes
spoken OF as II Il were the outcome Of a
revolt OF the poor against the rich" he
says, and the feeling OF dissatisfaction
with the inequalities OF our existing social
system at the present time is 80 deep and

part in such a revolt may count on Sc

Scientists are greatly interested in a dis

professor in the University OF Bologna has
made the important discovery that radium

this conclusion after observations covering
long period. He placed at nightfal
piece of glass over certain plants. At
dawn he found the glass impregnated with
a radioactive power senslbly affected by

disappeared.

Sometimes we hear OF a man reading his

dead man to sing at his own funeral
Pietro Ficco OF Pisa, a shoemaker and
amateur musician, had a great fondness
for the phonosraph. He purchased many
records and occasionally sang into his own
photograph, keeping records OF the songs.
He was taken seriously ill., He realized
that he could not recover. Being poor and
unable to afford much OF a funeral he
requested that his photograph should be
utilized 70 furnish the music for the funeral
service. He picked out Angels Serenade''
and GounOd's Ave Maria" sung by him
self, and these were used and thus the
dead man took an important Part at his
own funeral service. He instruct d that

A Scotch missionary to a group OF

great many years ago found bits OF
red flannel circulating as money. This
currency came to them in a curious
manner. The body of shipwrecked
sailor had drifted ashore, and to the
untutored savages, who had never be-
fore seen clothing OF any kind. his red
flannel shirt was an object Of wonder
and admiration. BY common consent
they cut the garment into small pieces.
which thenceforth became the curren-
ey Of the island.
