County Commissioners J. A. Watt
new and j.. H. Lunde were in our town
Saturday while on their way to their
homes in lakewood and Scandinavia
townships, having come from Gary,
Indiana, where they went the first OF
the week with County Auditor Larson
and the other members of the board
to inspect an iron bridge factory and
to see the product the company turns
out. The bridge trust has had many
of the counties throughout the north
west in their clutches and this indie
pendent concern asked recognition
and SEM the price of the railroad fare
and other expenses If our board would
give them a hearing which they gladly
did. Next year the county will prob
ably build bridges cheaper than it
has in the past.-Toronto Herald.

Harvey Ellefson, one mile north of
Castlewood, is one of the progressive
young farmers of the vicinity. He
is a graduate of the State Agricultural
College at Brookings. A few minutes
talk with him will convince one that
his training at school is not forgotten,
nor was it in vain. On this farm the
writer found about $500 bushels of
good corn. Mr.. Ellefson's corr aver-
aged about forty bushels per acre. At
the time of the writer's visit MI. Ellef-
son had a herd of forty-fve hogs,
which was rapidly converting his corn
into valuable pork. Mr.. Ellefson also
keeps a herd of fifteen COW of the
beef type. The success of this sort of
farmer is not only a f~oregone con-
clusion, but such men as Mr. Ellefson
are also valuable to a whole section as
examples Of how to do it.-Public

seventy-Four Women Prisoners.

In compiling and studying Tenncs.
see prison statistics Gov. Hooper has
learned that on February 16 there
were seventy-four women in the state
prison. OF these sixty-six were col
ored and eight white.
1t is of interest to know what
crimes women commit which send
them to the penitentiary. The follow.
ing discloses this information as to
the women now in prison: Homicides
of various degrees, 35; felonious as
sault, Z; larceny, including burglary,
2S; miscellaneous, 4; total, IA.
1t will be observed that more than
half of the female prisoners are con-
victed either of murder or the attempt
to commit it, and that larceny makes
up almost the other half.
The figures also show that an over
whelming percentage of the female
prisoners come from three counties,
Davidson, Hamilton and Shelby In
fact, about 60 per cent come from
these three counties, although they
contain only about 10 per cent of the
population of the state. Here are the
figures: Hamilton, 8; Davidson, IS;
Shelby, %; total from three coun
ties, 55.

United States district court, to-day
granted a permanent Injunction In be-
half of the Centaur Company of New
York, the manufacturers of Fletcher's
Castoria, against the Stewart &
Holmes Drug Company of this city.

Nashville.
The supreme court, all of the judges
agreeing, has decided that that part
OF the liquor shipping bill limiting
shipments of liquor to one gallon was
void, as an infringement of interstate
commerce The court, however, held
that part of the act which requires
the filing Of certificate of receipt of
such shipments valid.
The effect of the decision will be to
allow persons in Tennessee to pur-
chase as much whisky as they please
for private use, and in such quanti-
ties as they care to have it shipped to
them. 1t will also give brewers, who
have been practically barred under
the law, the right to ship in cases
or barrels of beer to private consum-
ers.
The case decided went up from Da-
wilson county, w. o. Farmer, the
horseman and capitalist, being the
complainant, against the Southern Ex-
press company. Farmer attacked the
limitation and certificate clause of the
act. Chancellor Allison sustained his
contention on both points. The express
company, which had refused to deliver
a consignment of fifteen gallons of
whisky to Farmer, appealed. The
court held that the requirement that
certificate of receipt should be filed
with the county court clerk was clear
ly within the power Of the state, and
was not an infraction of interstate
commerce over which consignee has
authority. The opinion is very volum-
nous and goes into clear definition
of the powers of congress and the
state.
The court clearly expresses the
opinion that in no sense does it hold
that other than a private consumer
can receive shipments for legal use.
The decision came down on the eve
Of the so-called rigorous nuisance
law" which makes saloons and disor-
derby houses nIisances to be abated
on the application of ten freeholders.
and which went into effect March 1.
The courts holding, therefore, holds

fact, the court specifics that the de-
cision does not bear upon shipments
of liquor to oe sold in violation of the
pr ,liibition law.

the streets to lay the tracks. The an
nouncement of the interstate scope of
the company was made by w. E. Ste
ger, attorney for the Nashville Trac-
tion company. He says that it was
primarily for the purpose of the inter
urban system that the rights of way
were secured over the streets of Nash
vile. Routes for the proposed inter-
urbans have already been selected, Mr..
Steger says, and the survey work will
commence in the near future. The
company has decided to erect a power
plant here for the running of the inter
urban cars, Mr.. Steger states.
