POLICE CALLED TO
ARREST MAD NAN

About 9 o'clock last evening a man
by the name of Knut Knudson enter
ed the Comstock hotel. He was rather
roughly dressed and the men in charge
of the hotel felt rather suspicious. He
went at once to the kitchen where he
started a rough house with the cooks.
Grabbing a knife and an ice cleaver
ne entered the large ice box which
stood open and proceeded to make a
meal from a big crate of black ber-
ries which stood on one of the shelves.
Some clear thinking cook sneaked up
behind and locking the door on the
wild man phoned for an officer. Dur
ing his short stay in the cold ice box
the blackberries had a good chance to
work on the man. By this time he was
almost furious with a and the po-
lice officers had all they could do to
take him to jail.
Well" said the man. as he walked,
or rather was taken from the hotel, II
suppose this means another ten years"
He was sent for a vacation of ten
days at the county jail where HI will
be examined as to his mental condition.

TO TAKE UP STUDY
OF GOOD ROADS

The fact that road building and
Keeping are to be taken up and studied
In the office of the government in this
locality should be of interest to all
Moorhead people especially now that
the county has purchased so much new
machinery for road work. ..
The United States office Of public
roads has commenced a study of both
the good points n the defects in the
methods of construction and mainten-
ance of different types of roads in 100
countries located in all parts Of the
United. States. The existing methods
will be carefully watched, and where
improvement can be made, this will be
pointed out, and instruction given. The
studies to be made will also include the
methods of financing roads, bond is
sues, and road taxes; accounting and
cost keeping as relating to road con-
struction, maintenance and repair; con
vict labor, statute labor, and the adapt
ability of the use of various materials
to local and unusual conditions. The
highway officials in the various Sec
tions where the work has been started
are cooperating in every possible way
with the representatives OF the office
Of public roads, and 1t Is thought thai
much good will be accomplished. The
work Is directly In charge of the divis.
ion of road economics of the office OF
public roads. J. -. Pennybacker is
chief Of the division Of road economics.

Are Alsace and
Lorraine Both LOYAL

When the kaiser. the Bundersat and
brand new constitution. with universal
suffrage, two chambers and three
votes in the Bundesrat the optimists of
Germany declared that henceforth
Alsace-Lorraine would be happy and
loyal and that the provinces coded by
France in. 1871 would become full
blown federal states of which the
kaiser would feel proud. This is one
time in history, however, when optim-
ism slipped a cog and the pessimists
won a victory. Even the kaiser has had
occasion to get angry at the h%yphenat-
ed country, it appearing from the rec
ords that the statesmen Of Alsace-
Lorraine have tried on numerous oc-
c~asions to get Wilhelm's goat. Occas-
tonally they have succeeded.
Cut kaiser's Salary.
Even since the new parliament met
1t has been pin-pricking the German
empero and the central government
In the sacred name Of thrift. Nomin-
ally in order to save none it cut down
all salaries and privileges of every one
at the top of the government, and then
it went so far as to deprive Kaiser
Wilhelm Of his pay and to rob him of
Lie 1AIIS SllOOLInS uOEldln winch ne
possessed near the French frontier.
The "Landesausschuss," which gov
erned the provinces in a~nte-constitu-
ton days, presented the kaiser with q
splendid $50, 000-acre shooting estate
at Oberhaslach, a villa in Upper
Alsace, stocked with picturesque
ruins, including the famous Giants
castle, with deer, grouse, cartridges,
gamekeepers and other animals and
individuals who wished to lead an easy,
cultured life.
Clipped Game Preserve.
The ungrateful center party took this
estate back. The party is the strong
est in the Alsace-Lorraine parliament,
n Is IN bad terms with the govern
ment because the government has OPP
posed it at elections. Therefore when
the estimates came before the budget
commission one year, showing a con-
siderable annual cost Of maintaining
the katser's shooting domain. the COM
mission, on the advice of the center
party, stuck 1t out. It further was re-
commended the estate be taken away
from Kaiser Wilhelm and leased to the
bidder. The money would go
to relieve the Alsace-Lorraine treas
ury.
The nationalist press denounced this
as an insult to Kaiser Wilhelm.
The papers declared the kaiser did not
want a gift which was grudgingly Civ
The government viewed the thing
from the same angle. 1t declared that
Wilhelm always regarded the gift of
the shooting estate as an act of cour-
tesy, but that now he would surrender
it voluntarily. When the matter fin
ally came before the parliament, the
socialists voted with the center party

WALK TO SAN. FRANCISCO

M. Weiss and NJ. Yessenoff, two
members of the order of Moose in
Dayton, O., intend to walk to the
worlds fair. Both are walking out of
the natural route in order that they
may stop off in certain cities along the
way and visit with friends. 1t Is ex-
pected that they will arrive here in
about two weeks.
They left the Ohio city five weeks
ago last Friday and expect to reach
San Francisco the latter part of No
vember, where they will remain until
after the Panama exposition. With
them they have a large supply of
views of, the Dayton flood, which they
sell in order to cover their EXPENSES
or the trip.
The trip is merely one Of pleasure.
They have no definite time in which to
reach the Pacific coast. The young
men spoke Interestingly of the annual
national Moose convention, which was
held in Milwaukee July % and ~, at
which they were present.

January and recently adopted and pro-
mulgated at the justices of the SUI
preme court. 500.
The bill also carries 500, 900 to sup
port a widespread n aggressive
campaign for the suppression OF the
liquor traffic among Indians. e
The bill gives the commissioner six
confidential inspectors with special
civil service qualifications. It is ex-
pected that this appropriation will re-
suit in thorough Investigations being
made on Indian reservations and
throughout the Indian country gener-
ally that he may be advised of the ac-
tual conditions as a basis for their
effective reform.
The bill provides for the Coasolida-
ton of the offices of the five civilized
tribes n n union agency and with
1T a reduction of 5 $4,000 over previous
years In the expense of conducting
these two branches Of the Indian
service.
The controversy regarding the en-
rollment of the Mississippi Choctaws
is compromised by emitting the Choc-
Jaws of Oklahoma from the yer capt.
ia payment mad to Chickasaw and
Cherokee Indians of 500 and SIS, re-
spectively.
A long contest regarding the. water
rights Of the Yakima Indians is finally
settled by giving these Indians a free
water right to forty acres of their al
lotments in perpetuity.
Another question which has been in
dispute for a number Of years is set
tied by providing Off allotting the re-
naming unallotted Indians on the
Bad River reservation and the distri-
button per. capita of the remaining tri-
bal timber to the unallotted Indians. .
Out OF the funds of the confederated
bands OF Ute Indians in Utah and Coll /
orado this bill appropriates about $780,
600, 100000 for the purchase Of stock
for the Navajo Springs band of said
Indians in Colorado, 5000, 900 for the
Uintah, White River and Uncompagre
bands in Utah and the balance to be
expended among all said Indians for
the promotion Of civilization and self
support among them, one of the chief
purposes of which Is to protect the
water rights of the Ute Indians from
being forfeited within the period fixed
by law, n all of which is to give
them much needed help in industrial
progress. f@ " &
One hundred thousand dollars is APP
propr1ated for determining the heirs of
deceased Indian allottees so. that title
to these ands may be certain. There
are now 10000 Of these cases pending
in the Indian, Office, in which land yal-
ued at $50. 1000, 900 is involved. The SIS
charged to each estate for the
of this expense has during the past
year into the treasury $780,
600, which is $50, 900 more than the ap-
preparation on which this work was ac-
complished by the commissioner of In
dian affairs.

Agricultural hall will be crammed to
the roof with products of field, mine
and factory, from all parts Of the state.
For many years the county exhibits
have been a feature of the Minnesota
state fair. Many other fairs have at

but have failed. Liberal prizes are of
fered for best exhibits from the south

is no feature of the fair that attracts
more persons to the opportunities in

to the State Supreme Court.

To Carry Rate on New Bendixon Law
to the State Supreme Court.
The Milwaukee railroad has filed an
appeal in the state supreme court from
the decision of the Ramsey county
district court handed down about a
month ago in regard to the rats under
the provision of the Bendixon railroad
passenger law. The railroad in it's
case in the district court commended
that it could charge 8 cents a mile for
the first five miles and 2 cents for ev-
cry mile in excess of that number.
The attorney general, who defended
the state, contended that the railroad
could charge 3 cents a mile for first
five miles or less for a single trip of
that distance only but hat on a con-
tinuous trip Of more than five miles a
straight rate of 2 cents should only be
charged by the railroad.
The attorney general was upheld by
the district court and The company
now takes appeal from the decision.
