PECULIAR CASE PASSED
 ON BY SUPREME COURT

The case of L. H. Walker who was fined $20and cost, aggregating $50, at the last session of the Law renee circuit court, on an indict- ment fer disturbing public wor- ship and who appealed the case to the Supreme Court, was this week affirmed by decision of the supreme court. MT. Walker was not in favor of his daughter being baptized last August, when she expressed her wish to be baptized according to the rites of the Christ ian Church, which church she wished to join after having attend ed protracted meeting held near her home by that denomination. When the minister proceeded to administer the baptismal rites, Mr. Walker raised disturbance, which very nearly resulted in serious trouble. He was indicted before the grand jury last Jan uary on a charge of disturbing religious worship and fined, but appealed the case, with the above result. Last fall MT. Walker was refused a sitting on the grand jury on account of his belief in agnosticism. Imboden Gazette.

CHAPTER w..
A Mouse and a Mountain.

All the while the foiled elopers were eloping, the San Francisco sleeper was filling up. It had been the receptacle of assorted lots of hu- manity tumbling into it from all di- rections, with all sorts of souls, bodies and destinations.
 The porter received each with that expert eye of his. His car was his laboratory. A railroad journey is 3 sort of test-tube of character; strange elements meet under strange condi- tions and make strange combinations The porter could never foresee the ingredients of any trip, nor their ac- tions and reactions.
 He had no sooner established Mir. Wedgewood of London and MT. Ira Lathrop of Chicago, in comparative repose, than his car was invaded by a woman who flung herself into the first seat She was flushed with run ning, and breathing hard. but she managed one gasp of relief:
 Thank goodness, I made it iI time"
 The mere sound of womans voice in the seat back of him was enough to disperse Ira Lathrop. With not SC much as a glance backward to see what manner of woman it might be, he damned his contract into his pock- ct, seized his newspapers and retreat ed to the farthest end of the car, bouncing down into berth number one, like a sullen snapping turtle.
 Miss Anne Gattle's modest anG homely valise had been brought aboard by leisurely station usher, who set it down and waited with g speaking palm outstretched She had her tickets in her hand, but trans ferred them to her teeth while she searched for money in handbag old fashioned enough to be called a. reti-

him. He was only a little cog in great clock, and the other wheels were impinging on him and revolv- ing in spite of himself.
 In the close-packed seats where they were jostled and stared at, the soldier could not even attempt to ex- plain to his fascinated bride the war of motives in his breast. He could not voice the passionate rebellion her beauty had whipped up in his soul. Perhaps If Romeo and Juliet had been forced to say farewell on a Chicago street car instead of s Veronese bal cony, their language would have lacked savor, too.
 Perhaps young MT. Montague and young Miss Capulet, instead of vail ing, No, that is not the lark whose notes do beat the vaulty heaven so high above our heads" would have done no better than MT. Mallory and Miss Newton. In any case, the best these two could squeeze out was
 Its just too bad, honey"
 But I guess it can't be helped, dear"
 It's a mean old world, isn't it?"
 Awful"
 And then they must pile out into the street again so lost in woe that they did not know how they were trampled or elbowed. Marjories de- spair was so complete that it paralyzed instinct She forgot Snoozleums! A thoughtful passenger ran out and tossed the basket into Mallory's arms even as the car moved of.
 Fortune relented a moment and they found taxicab waiting where they had expected to find it. Once more they were cosy in the flying twilight, but their grief was their only baggage, and the clasp of their hands talked all the talk there was
 Anxiety within anxiety tormented them and they feared another wreck. But as they swooped down upon the station, kind-faced tower clock beamed the reinsurance that they had three minutes to spare.
 The taxicab drew up and halted, but they did not get out. They were kissing good-byes, fervidly and nu- merously. while a grinning station porter winked at the winking chaur- feur.
 Marjorie simply could not have done with farewells.
 I'll go to the gate with you," she said.

The lieu tenant looked so honest and the girl so sad that the chauffeur simply touched his cap, though it was not his custom to allow strange fares to vanish into crowded stations, leaving behind nothing more negotiable than | instructions to wait.

cule.
 The usher closed his fist on the pit tance she dropped into 1t and depart ed without comment. The porter ad- yanced on her with a demand for Tickets, please"
 She began to ransack her reticule with Hurried haste, taking out or II small purse, opening that, closing 1t, putting it back. taking 1t out, search ing the reticule through, turning out a handkerchief, a few hairpins, few trunk keys, a baggage check, pot tie of salts, a card or two and nu- merous other maideniy articles. re- storing them to place, looking In the purse again, restoring that, closing the reticule, setting it down, shaking out a book she carried, opening her old valise, going through certain white things blushingly, closing It again, shaking her skirts, and shaking her head in bewilderment.
 She was about to open the reticule again when the porter exclaimed:
 q see it! Don't look no mo l see it!"
 When she cast up her eyes in de spair. her hatbrim had been elevated enough to disclose the whereabouts of the tickets. With a murmured apology, he removed them from her teeth and held them under the light. After a time he said
 "As neah as I can make out from the-the undigested potion of this ticket. yo' numba is six"
 That's it-six!"
 That's right up this way"
 Let me sit here till I get my breath" she pleaded. Il ran so hard to catch the train.'
 Well, you caught it good and strong"
 I'm so glad. How soon do we start?"
 Tn about half houah.
 Really? Well, better half an hour too soon than half a minute too late. She said it with such a copy-book primness that the porter set her down as a schoolteacher. It was not a bad guess. Sne was Il I"isSloH@iS' "i'h a puril-Hke shyness ne volunteered;
 "Yo' berth is all ready whenever you wishes to go to baid.' He caught her swift blush and amended it to- ito retiah."
 "Retire?-before all the car?" said Miss Anne Cattle, withCprim timidlty NO. thank you! 1 intend to sit up till everybody else has retired"
 The porter retired. Miss Cattle took out a bit of more or jess useful fancy stitching and set to work like another Dorcas. Her needle had not dived in and emerged many times be- fore she was holding 1t up as weap- on of defense against a sudden hu- man mountain that threatened to crush her.
 A vague round face, huge and red as a rising moon, dawned before her

eyes and from it came an uncertain voice:
 "Esscu2he me, mad'm, no 'fensh in tended"
 The words and the breath that car. ried them gave the startled spinster an instant proof that her vis-a-vis did net share her prohibition principles or practices. She regarded the ele- plant with mouse-like terror, and the elephant regarded the mouse with eleptantine fright, then he removed himself from her landscape as quick ly as he could and lurched along the aisle, calling out merrily to the DOT ter

FARMERS HELD PICNIC
Starbuok Township Farmers Club held
First Annual Meeting

The Starbuck Township far
mers' club. one of the strongest
and most active organizations
of the kind in the county, held
it's annual meeting and gave a
big picnic at the johnson farm
near the center of the town
ship last Saturday. The at
tendance was very large. ?
The program for the after
noon, after the delicious viands
provided by the ladies had been
disposed of. consisted of music
by the band and addresses by
NJ. B. Johnson, f. X. Calnan
and J. F. Haskell. There were
footraces for the BOYS and girls
and a ball game between teams
representing Starbuck and
Eidsvald townships.
The meeting was a big sue
cess and the club intends to
have more of these semi-social
meeting.
Tomorrow there will be an
other big picnic in Eidsvold
township at the home of H. J.
Hanson. The same speakers
will be present.

The informal nomination of
Colonel Roosevelt was said to
be chiefly for the. purpose of
effecting a temporary organiza-
ton. Beginning tomorrow
when "a call is to be issued for
state convention in illinois,
work of organization will be
pushed forward rapidly state
by state. At later time, pro-
badly early iu August, it is in
tended that a national conven-

Roosevelt in accepting the
nomination said he did 80 un-
der the conditions that he is
willing to step aside if it should
be the desire of the new party
when organized to select an
other standard bearer.
Republicans admit that the
party is facing a serious crisis
and that if the democrats can
nominate a progressive they
will likely win in the fall.

Comedy Of Errors Gave Willow q
Lead: Stick Work Was Not
Of the Best
Yesterday and Tuesday we

Yesterday and Tuesday we
met the enemy and we were
theirs. Deloraine took us in
to camp on Tuesday afternoon
by a score of 4 to 0 and yester-
day Willow City got our scalp
4 to 2. Both games were good
ones from the spectators view
point and both drew good at
tendance. This was particu-
larlv true yesterday afternoon.
People came from quite a dis
tance in all directions to see
the two leading teams in the
league meet for the first time
in the series.
Yesterdays game from the
standpoint of earned runs was
a tie but comedy of errors
favored Willow City early in
the game and our team added
a score on some loose playing
on the part of our opponents.
The detailed score is as fol-

1t is expected that the demo
cratic national convention at
Baltimore will make nomina-
ton today, but probably too
late for this issue. The first
significant thing about the
convention was the defeat of
the Bryan forces in the contest
for the temporary chairman
ship. Alton b. Parker, was
elected over. Bryan by a vote of
576 to $40. This would on the
face of it indicate that If it were
not for the .two-thirds rule the
con servative element could

the winning of the contest for
the seating of South Dakota
delegates yesterday helped his
cause.
Early this morning Governor
Burke released the North Da-
kota delegation and it is as
sumed from this fact that the
progressives are making ready
to nominate either Wilson or
Bryan.
It is prophesied by leading
men that if a progressive is
nominated the democrats can
win easily this fall, but if a
conservative is chosen there
will be material for a third
! party should one be formed. ~
