PROHIBITION IN OHIO.

option elections. Three years ago a
prohibition wave swept over Ohio and
a large majority OF the counties III

visions OF the Rose local option law.
the prohibition experiment was given
a fair trial. No new election could
be held for three years. Now the
counties are being given an opportun-
ity 10 register their verdict on prohi-
bition. More than two-thlrds OF the
counties that have voted during the

Johnson's Body Shipped East.

Coroner's inquest was held over the
body of the late Ed C. johnson yes
terday morning, H. H. Williams, P.
W. McGillic, Steve Brink and Fred
Domeyer sitting as jurors. Mr.. Do
meyer recounted the story Of the dis
covery about as follows: About three
p. m. Thursday he went west from
this city along the Heart River fish
ing. reaching the slaughter house of
the P. w. McGillic Grocery company
about three-thirty. He remained
there a few minutes, but with no sue
cess. and moved on up the river few
hundred feet, rounding a big bend;
Just as he rounded the bend, he saw
a large tree lying in the edge Of the
water, where it had evidently fallen
after having been undermined by the
recent high water, on branch on the
upper side of the tree was what ap-
peared to be a bundle Of rags. Mr..
Domeyer approached and with long
pole disclosed a hand beneath the sur
face of the water. Believing that he
had found the body Of the late Ed.
Johnson, he called to a party about
quarter of a mile above, who proved
to be Steve Brink. also Of this city,
who was on a fishing expedition. Mr..
Brink had driven out, with a boat at
tached to the rear of the buggy; the
two rowed to the body, eight or ten
feet from the shore and in about four
feet of water, where it was made fast
to the tree, then Mr.. Brink went al
ter the coroner, who removed the
body from the wN+er.
In the pockets were found a note
book, containing the name and ad-
dress of the unfortunate man, and the
name and address Of the party ne
wished notified in case OF any acci'
dent; there was also a credit slip
from the John Foran Grocery for u
cents, in payment for butter left there
March 30, five days before the acct
dent. A pocket book in one OF the
pockets contained 1885.
The remains were taken to the
Kennedy undertaking parlors and
prepared for shipment, being shipped

come OF all these rumors and negotia
tons may be, one thing 10 certain.
the manitoba elevator commission has
been a CHASTITY failure and the farmers
Of Manitoba are today confronted with
an elevator system which is practi-
cally imperative and with no pros
poets of any adequate provisions be-
ing made for the crop Of 1912 and
this too in the face of an enormous
expenditure of money to secure the
same"
The state system made no effort to
return profit. Its sponsors declared
only expenses were sought to be
covered by the operation. The rates
charged grain growers were the same
as those charged by the private con-
Germs. The dismal failure Is credited
to the difference in the operations OF
privately owned concern and one
publicly operated.

b0UR|ASSA ON
PARDON a BOARD
June Meeting Of Board Of
Pardols Scheduled To Be
Held on 10th

Governor Burke has appointed A
H. Bourassa of st. John as member
of the state board of pardons, vice s,
A. Fischer of Starsburg, resigned.
Mr.. Bourassa will assume his duties
when the pardon board convenes at
the state capital for it's regular semi
annual session June 10.
Private Secretary P. NJ. Byrne Is
compiling the list of applications for
pardons, and many famous cases will
be in the limelight. The list will be
one of the largest for some time.
Among the cases to come up will be
that Of Joseph Remington. Reming-
toms sentence was committed from
life to 80 years at the December SEES
sion of the pardon board, which
counting his good time, would grant

Is believed an effort will be made to
have the board rescind the commute
ton.

Tr;7nuIar Debate Planned


Debate and public discussion among
the chief educational institutions oi
the Red River Valley will be stimu!a
ted if the plans of tie Debating Board
of Control looking to the formation OF
a triangular debating leauge, with the
University of Manitoba, the University
of North Dakota and Fargo College as
members; reach a successful fulfill
ment. According to the details OF the
plan, each institution would be repre-
scented by two teams and on an iden-
tical date, debates on the same ques.
ticn would be ,neld at all of the insti-
tutions in the league. The teams rep
resenting the affirmative side of the
question would visit and the negatives
would stay at home, uphold the honor
of the school. This plan has proved
very successful wherever it has been
tried and good results are looked for
in this new Red River Valley League.

other county than Morton and to
some other Judge. Judge Nuchols is
left no discretion in this matter, but
must transfer the cases, as the aft.

The Mitsui family Of Japan have

The European family owes it's great
renown to the fact that for century
there has been no slightest stain up.
on its commercial honor. But it's ca

been passed in a world where bust.

while the Mitsuis, engaged in pur-

the demoralizing influence of the so

BURNED JUDAS IN EFFIGY
In That Way the Guides Showed Their
Love for the Christian
Religion.

We hanged Judas Iscariot today.
Having expressed our Joy over the res
direction of Christ by gorging our
selves with roast lamb and bitter
wine, by firing guns, rockets and tor
pedoes and by lighting bonflres, we
gave vent to our remaining enthusi-
asm in one grand burst of mock ven-
geance directed against the unfortu-
nate mortal who was destined from
the foundation of the world to figure
as a cats paw in the plan of salvation
The burning took place in the front
Of little church of the Virgin, sit
uated on the highest part of the city.
From pole erected before the door
hung a crude, wretched, melancholy
figure stuffed with straw, and ridicu-
lously suggesting the image of man.
Within the church the priest was con-
ducting the regular Sunday service.
At last the doors were thrown wide
open and the whole congregation
gushed forth like water from a broken
dam, and Immediately thereafter ev-
cry man and boy in the square was
shooting away at the effigy. Poor Ju-
das whirled about and danced in the
air as the bullets peppered him, and
suddenly burst into flames. When a
Greek feels particularly happy, or
wishes to express his enthusiasm he
produces an old musket or pistol and
discharges it. Resurrection Day in
Greece resembles the Fourth of July
