j. I. Brown had a mishap last
week that has caused him to lay off
from work ever since. He fell from
his wagon. striking his back on the
wheel. and at first paid no attention
to the injury, thinking the pam

hours later he was unable to do any
work and for few days was con-
fined to his bed as a result of the
fall. He is able to be out again.

e. e. Bradberg. Hazelton's tonso-
rialist. was the victim of an unknown
thief last Friday evening. He left
his vest, containing a fine gold watch,
hanging on hook in his shop while
he stepped out to get supper, and
when he returned the watch was
missing. No clew as to the idenity
of the thief has yet ben found. The
watch was very highly valued by
MIR. Bradberg. because of the fact
that it was given him as a present.

Only a Few Feel That Way.

An old soldier of Fargo according
to the Forum expresses himself bit
terly against the trip to Gettysburg;
says he isn't ready to march with
msn carrying Confederate flags. and
refers to General Robert L. Lee az
an arch traitor. etc. Well. the
writer used to feel that way. Al
though born in free state. he lived
in border slave state before and
after the war, and pretty nearly ey-
erybody on both sides there felt that
way for few years after the war
ended. The writer cast his first vote,
in St.Louis, against rebel suffrage" "
the men in rebellion having been
disfranchised in Missouri during the
war. Thanks. however, to the con-
servatism of majority of those who
could vote. the law that would have
made the Acknowledgement of the
rebels permanent was defeated. We
look at the matter in different
light, now. When southern women
are the first to decorate the graves
of the men who fought against their
section; when southern men march
side by side with northern men in a
foreign war; when the entire south
is again loyal to the Stars and
Stripes and as proud of the prosperi-
ty of the nation as the people of the
north, it seems that the sectional
passions of fifty years ago ought to
be thing of the past. AS he grows
old the mind of any one who UNDER
stands the history of the problems
that led upto the war grasps the
fact that the soldiers of the north
and of the south were the instru-
ments Of Providence in settling a
problem that could not be settled By
the statesmen and the politicians.
We do not envy any one his spirit OF
fairness who asserts that men who
fought as the sontherners fought
did not believe their cause was just.
The writer has attended several ma
tional Grand Army encampments.
and at those held near the Mason and
Dixon line many old Confederate
soldiers were present; and the
words and actions Of fraternity and
good will on the part of these men
toward the old Union soldiers
would convince any one hut the most
obstinate that with them the war
was over and the nation again united.

The uettysburg Trip.

A letter from Commandment Car
roll, of the Soldiers Home at Lisbon,
informs us that "the route selected
for the old soldiers going to the
Gettysburg reunion is via the
| Northern Pacific to ST. Paul; the
Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul TO
Chicago. and the Pennsylvania to
Gettysburg; returning by the same
route. There are 25G Federals and
4 Confcderates who have written
signifying their intention to make
| the trip. Forty-scyen of the form
er and one of the latter were in the
battle of Gettysburg. The railways
of the northwest have made but
little reduction for the Trip. A
round-trip rate of about $40 was ex-
! pected; the rate obtained is $53.s0.
There will be meeting of the COM
mission during The coming week, at
whith the final arrangements for
the trip will be made; after which
a circular letter will be printed and
mailed to every man whose name is
on the list, giving him all desired
information and instruction. and, if
the conditions are or are not salts
factory to him. it wi i be up to him
to decide whether or not he will
60" The Record understands from
articles in the daily newspapers that
the southern railways have been
much more liberal than those of the
northwest. and have made rate of
about a cent a mile. Should the
entire number listed conclude to go.
it will cost each man about $15, in
addition TO the appropriation, to
make the trip from Fargo to Gettys-
burg and return. The trip begins
and ends at Fargo. Hence, those go.

nay. in addition, the cost of the
round trip between their home and
Fargo. Therefore. comrades from
Emmons county who make the trip
can count on having to pay about
$25 in addition to their share of the
! appropriation. Of course, every
comrade who fails to carry out his
intention of making the trip redu
the personal expense to those who
go. AS great many of the COM
rades are very old men and have but
little besides their pension toIive on,
they are compelled to be very care
full of their money, and it is likely
that the additional expense that will
be necessary, in case all go who are
on the list, will cause many espec-
tally those distant from Fargo. who
will have an additional outlay--to

THAW DEPORTED
FROM DOMINION
SURPRISING MOVE BY CANADIAN
OFFICIALS-IS CAPTURED IN
NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Colebrook, n. Hilary X. Thaw'
fugitive from Matteawar, is now on
American soil.
Thrust Unexpectedly over the Cana
dian border despite the writ of habeas
corpus demanding his production lie
fore the Kings bench in Montreal, h"
was fCI three hours free man and
during that time drove madly in an au-
automobile for 30 miles through the
hills OF Vermont and New Hampshire.
Near noon ne ran into the arms of a
New Hampshire sheriff and was
brought TO ebrook, where he retain
ed counsel to risist extradition.
William Travers Jerome, rushed
hither on a special train, assumed
charge of the case for New York state
seeking to have Thaw, as a ward of
the state, returned to Matteawan.
Fearing kidnapping at the hands OF
officers from New York, he asked for
a special guard and Chief of Police
Kelly swore in IL special deputies,
all armed.
Thaw's removal from the immigra
ton quarters at Coaticook was sudden
and dramatic. Three mysterious men,
who said they represented c. j. Doehr-
~, the Dominion minister of justice,
and acting minister of the interior,
appeared before 8 o'clock. Thaw was
asleep. They woke him up, command
ed him to dress and after a struggle
in which he tried to brain one of them
with a glass tumbler, took him to the
border.
Thaw screamed as they brought him
down the stairway. Don't let them
kidnap me-" he cried, save me, for
Gods sake"
Silent, determined the officers held
him firmly and, struggling as he might,
he had TO go.
A few minutes after o'clock he
was on his way to the border.
Instead of a protracted legal battle
in the Canadian courts his case, as far
as Canada was concerned, was over in
a twinkling.
Thaw's appeal against the order OF
deportation returned last week had
been denied and writ or no writ, Cana
da was TO be rid of him at once.

WOULD STOP HOG CHOLERA
Government Official Suggests Co.
Operative Campaign.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington Inauguration of a
countrywide campaign to eliminate
or control hog cholera is urged in Il
special report by Marion Dorset of the
Bureau of Animal Industry, who esti-
mates that during the past year about
$6,OO0,O00 worth of hogs died of the
disease.
After experimenting for more than
% years the Department of Agricul-
ture finally discovered a serum that
prevents the disease and which now is
being distributed in 80 states. This
work, however, Mr.. Dorset states, has
not resulted in a noticeable decrease in
the disease in the whole. In suggest
ing the anti-cholera campaign the re-
port urges that the serum be used as
basis. The success of the movement
is says, depends upon establishment
of efficient state and federal organiZa-
tons which will work together, but
which must enlist the full cooperation
and support Of the farmers.
