Federal Court.

The current term of the
United States District Circuit
ICourt which convened here
Monday of last week will prob
ably last throughout this week
il the cases on the civil docket
all come to trial. The local
court has gained the reputation
of handling more criminal cases
than any court in the Western
District of Virginia, and from
present indications is making
Roadway in the same direction
with civil business.
The criminal docket occupied
five days with nearly 200 cases
to dispose of. There was over
100 pleas of guilty made, the
offenders prefering to stand the
customary fine of 800 and n
jail sentence of thirty days for
first offence than go to the ex-
pense OF trial with comparative
ly plain cases against them.
Out of all the cases that came
before a jury for trial there was
not n single acquital and sever
al were given penitentiary SEN
fences.
OF the number getting trips
to Atlanta, p. j. McEnroe, said
to hail originally from New
Jersey, and q journeyman tail
or, received the longest sen
tence, his offence being that of
using the mails to carry on an
improper and Matchmaking cor
respondence with a young
woman at Finley, Ohio, from
Charlottesville, in this State, af-
ter meeting the young woman
in the Ohio town, where it is
ale god he undertook to force
his attentions, continuing by
letter after going to work at
Charlottesville, with the result
that the matter was turned
over to the postoffice depart
ment, where after some clever
work there he was arrested and
brought to trial, the presiding
judge letting him off with 10
years, though the maximum
penalty is 80 years. McEnroe
is about ~ years old.
Melvin Tillis, OF Dickinson
county, having been formerly
up on charge of blocknding
liquor aud subsequently let out
on bond, which he dumped"
was given one year.
John Henry Williams, ne
gro living Mt Imboden, was SEN
fenced to . years; year for
selling whisky and an extra
year tor false swearing.
John McCary, a negro, also
living in this county was given
. years on plea Of guilty for
breaking into or attempting to
rob the postoilice at Dorchester,
Logan IL. Salyer, of Pike
county, XIV, James Sykes, Col
umbus Colley an d George
Burchett, of Dickinson county :,
who were tried, sentenced 5
years each, and heavily fined in
this court several terms back,
but who appealed their case,
and the lower court was affirm
ed, were also here and were
sent TO Atlanta with the other
prisoners to begin serving their
sentence.
Though it was some disap-
pointment that the new Federal
building was not complete and
ready for occupany, there is
smalr doubt but that the next
term of the United States court
will be held in new quarters in
the new building where the
large crowds from the thigh
lands who come semi-annually
can be handled to greater adj
vantage and the court attaches
will feel more at home and each
in his town" office.

GREAT TRIUMPH
FOR DECENCY
. DULUTH CRITIC PRONOUNCED
THE BALKAN PRINCESS A
CLEAN AND SPARKLING EN-
TERTAINMENT-AT THE FARGO
oPERAHoUsE THURSDAY.

Duluth Herald: Such a production
as The Balkan Princess shows that it
is not at all necessary to fill a play
with suggestive lines, obscenity or inn
moral characters to make a success
with the American public. The per-
Torrance of The Balkan Princess as
presented at the Lyceum last evening
one wonder why producing
managers in larger cities do not send
more shows of such caliber to Du-
luth. The Balkan Princess is a light
opera with a few touches of musical
comedy. The songs, Rbnes. characters,
costumes and s~ceneryecan all pass the
severest censors.
The production is elaborate through
out and the many varied costumes
embellish the beautiful stage pictures
shown in the various song numbers.
Miss Louise Cunning presents a
charming picture in such a setting.
Miss Cunning is a charming ac-
tress with a charming stage presence.
Her songs are delightful and she has a
soft, musical and very high voice,
which captivated the audience last

CABOOSE ROLLED
DOWN A BANK

Grand Forks, N. D., Feb. 21.-Al-
o turning a complete somersault,
the caboose on freight train No. 633
left the Northern Pacific tracks at
Kellys at 1880 O'Clock yesterday and
rolled down a short embankment.
Paradoxial as it may seem, the train
crew and one passenger were not in
jured seriously, though all sustained
slight bruises and were badly shaken
up. The caboose was almost demol-
ished.
DIR. G. M. Williamson of Grand Forks
was rushed to the scene nf the acct
dent on a switch engine. He dressed
the injuries of the men, who returned
to their homes in Grand Forks.
The train was in charge of Conduct
or Thomas Clarke. He with Steve
Lush and A. George, brakemen, and
Nels Holberg of the Northern Pacific
building and construction department,
were in the caboose when the accident
occurred.
The men say they had visions Of
certain and quick death when the car
began to ramble off the track and
down the slide. When the caboose
had bumped its last bump, however,
they looked upon each other and all
commenced to smile. Then they real
lied that they had received a num-
Der of slight injuries, but nothing Sc
we're.
The boys in the East Grand Forks
depot said this morning that the forta-
nate train crew were going to take up
the study of ~astrology to find out un-
der what particular lucky I they
were born.

SMALL DARK Man
LOOKING FOR KISS
IN EVERY CASE He HAS BEEN
SLAPPED RIGHT IN HIS
LITTLE FACE.

Grand Forks, N. D., Feb. 21.-GirIs,
look out for a small dark man, wear
ing a red shirt and blue overalls.
He's on your trail and wants to kiss
you.
Within the past week this stranger
has attempted to kiss at least nine
Grand Forks girls, according to one
Of the girls this morning, and in each
case he has been repulsed with a slap
in the face that sent him on his way
mot rejoicing.
The last girl to have been attacked
by this Jack the Hugger is employed
on South Third street. She is pretty.
As she vas going home after work
Saturday night the small dark mar
OF the red shirt popped into view near
the Diamond mill. He came UP to
her, smiling and was about to thrust
his face into hers for a kiss, when the
girl, who is some athletic, gave him
a right arm jab with her ungloved
hand that almost knocked him out.
Then the frightened maiden ran up
the street while the stranger shouted:
Our eyes have met; our lips not
yet; but, oh, 0 kid, I'll get you
yet"
This happened about $3.50 o'clock
Saturday night. The man was alone
and sc was the girl.
Friends Of the girl nave this week
related similar stories of being at
tackled by a man in a red shirt. They
all say they have put the man on the
run each time he attempted to kiss
them.

Return, taken from the cycle by Caro-
Roma.
Miss Cunning Is not satisfied to
carry all the honors away herself. and
she has provided herself with an ex-
~ceptionally strong supporting cast.
Mark Smith. who viii be remembered
here as the fat jovial travelling sales
ma of the play by that name, plays
n leading comedy role and gets
away with it, with the unanimous ap-
prevail of the audience. He is a real
comedian and has unique methods that
are irresistible in getting the laughs.
The audience laughed at everything
that Henri, the fat waiter, did and Mr..
Smith is only one of the stars support
ing Miss Cunning.
Among the other members of the
supporting cast of principals are Har-
old Crane as the Duke Sergius. who
has q very strong carrying voice and
q pleasing personality; Harry p. Crib
bon, the false prince who is good sec
ond to Teddy Webb as Blatz; Geral-
Malone. as Sofia. with her win
ming and captivating ways, the habi-
of the Bohemian restaurant; and
Amy Leicester. the charwoman, who
made quite an impression with her
acting, songs and new harem skirt.
Mr-~Webb will be remembered as the
leading character in Fantana as pre-
sented here last year by the Tivoli4
Opera company of San Francisco.
Miss Malone has a very pleasing way
about her and she also acts her part
with a great deal of feeling and emo
ton.
The scenes are laid in the palace
and the restaurants and are beautiful-
ly staged. The costumes Of the large
and capable chorus are all new and as
fresh as when they first appeared on
Broadway. The song hits of the pro-
duction stand u as the whistling
kind.

N. D. PEOPLE
ARE OPTIMISTIC
so SAYS PASSENGER AGENT
FAMILIAR WITH GENERAL
SITUATION I'M STATE.

Grand Forks, N. D., Feb. 21.-"North
Dakotans everywhere are in buoyant
spirits over the prospects for this
year. said Edward A. Whitaker. tray
cling passenger agent of the North
western line, who arrived in Grand
Forks this morning, after a trip
through the state.
Conditions are picking up on all
sides and / look for this yea to be
one of the best in the history of the
state. There is very little snow left
in North Dakota, while in Minnesota
and wisconsin they are still having a
visit from the winter man. as the
Indians call it.
Crops will be put in early in North
Dakota this year, / believe, and under
most favorable conditions. The ground
is going to possess just enough mois-
ture to make things grow right along.
The average will be larger this year
than ever before. There has not been
much snow this year and it is going
off early enough to make the ground
excellent for planting. / could hardly
believe but that my eyes were de-
ceiving me when l saw cattle and
horses grazing in the western part of
the state the other day. They were
there, however. and the sight of them
out so early made me a greater North
Dakota booster than ever.
There should be money in this
state this fall. We have got some
good times coming to us and l be-
lieve we are going to get them in
1912. I consulted the medicine man.
and he tells me that we are right in
line for what we have been praying
for-good crops, a greater North Da-
kota."
