Breaking the Habit.

The new China is desperately in ear
nest in its efforts to put an end to
opium smoking. On Christmas day,
1912. stringent manifesto was issued
by the governments absolutely prohibit
ingsthe people from indulging in the
habit. This manifesto expressed the
desire for the3suppression of the evil in
order toEsave the'people from a life of
degradation, mot by "tapering off, :"
but by stopping the habit entirely. At
thessame time the fear was voiced
that. although the government was
very much In earnest, the people
would endeavor to evade the law.
| Indian opium to the value of $780,
900, 600 was stacked at that time in
chests in Shanghai and Hongkong
warehouses stacked there without
finding buyers. After the manifesto
by the government 1t was practically
lmpossible!to buy or sell opium in the
coast provinces or the Yangste prov,
inces.
But last,week an incident occurred
that shows very grimly how earnest
the new government is in this matter
A woman of Shanghai. who openly per
sisted in the use of the drug, was
taken to public place, by order Of
the governor of the province, and il
the presence of large crowd of spec
tators was shot.
To the occidental mind this will
seem more than shocking but perhaps
the oriental government knows hes
how to handle its own problems. Anc

opium curse. China has a problem tina

1856. He was man of considerable
emineuce and on the admission of Ken
lucky to the Union in 1892, he was the
! first Senator from Kentucky.

VERDICT FOR
PLAINTIFF
IN CASE OF .. A. DTNNlE AGAINST
CHICAGO PORTLAND CEMENT
Co. IN FEDERAL COURT AT
MlNoT, DINNlE AWARDED DAM
AGES IN SUM OF $4,,s6s.5o.

The case Of D. A. Dinnie against
the Chicago Portland Cement Co., has
occupied the federal court at Minot
since Oct. 80. The jury yesterday
returned a verdict for the plaintiff in
the sum Of $4,36S.5o damages. The
court session ended yesterday, and
the court returned to Fargo last night.
The case was a suit brought by
Dinnie against the Chicago firm, alleg-
ing that the cement furnished to Din
ME for use in the foundation of the
new normal school building was of
poor quality. The foundation crumb-
led badly during the summer, and
much Of 1t had to be torn out and a
new foundation put in.
The case has excited a great deal
of interest, and a large number of
expert witnesses were called to the
stand. Several Of them, we'll known in
the state, testified that the cement
was Of good quality. However, the
jury, after being out from 2:30 o'clock
Saturday afternoon until late Sunday
morning, brought in the verdict for
the plaintiff in the sum stated above,
that being the exact cost of the cement
to Dinnie. No consequential damages
were awarded.

Several cases were reported to Mr..

was perceived that a number did not

Without much ado in the public
press or any great heralding of trun-

uniformly raised to $40 per- month,
which provides them all a comfortable
