PITTSBURGH. Aug. 13.-Another
remarkable pitching performance by
Albert Mamaux kept down the Giant

Mamaux's splendid Accomplishment
in facing the hard hitters Of the Nc

YOUNG MAN IS REAL BURGLAR

a young man who had just robbed
Henry Nelson's clothing store and
was on his way out of the alley. The
young burglar stepped on piece of
glass and Officer O'Brien thought he
would see who it was that would
choose to travel in the alley at that
time of night and he suddenly &C.
costed the man carrying well laden
suit case. Asking where he had got
ten the goods the stranger said he
got them at Jacobson's, but O'Brien
thought that he would have look
anyhow and on inspection found the
plumber was from Nelson's store and
he took his man to the coop where
later warrant charging third degree
burglary was lodged against the boy
who gave his name as Claud Mas
tins and his age as 10 years.
On being examined by the states
attorney he admitted having made a
more or less general practice of TAX
ing articles from stores and other
places and also admitted having serv-
ed time at the Red Wing, Mimi, re-
form school. - ...s.
He plead guilty as charged but has
not been sentenced. The fact that
he was allowed to plead to third de-

likely. .4,@,r

we are pleased to quote the following
extract from an article by George H.
Hodges, ex-governor of Kansas:
"The states right argument as ap-
piled to prohibition is the same ancient
argument clothed in different garb.
Some object to federal enactments,
basing their objections upon states
rights. The same objection was offer
ed when the problem Of slavery was
being solved. The proposition that
national prohibition is contrary to the
letter and spirit Of our government
sounds like the old slavery arguments.
Human rights and the welfare Of hui
mainly must be given preference in
settling all moral questions. States
rights was the only excuse urged
against giving the colored race their
freedom from bondage. States rights
at that time was a stumbling block
that prevented recognition Of the
rights OF man and added years OF I'M
told suffering and servitude to humane
lives. States rights must not be per-
mitted to interfere with moral rights,
of constructive citizenship States
rights is a weak contention when bal
anced against the rights Of the mother,
the rights Of the family and against
an endeavor that can only bring
better condition to the humane race
: I am thorough believer in
the doctrine Of states rights, but tho
most sacred right that q state can
enjoy Is the privilege Of changing its
constitution when q majority Of ita
celebrates 30 DESIRE"

U. S. Marshal Doyle
Goat at Grafton

Fargo, Oct. 29.-Recently u. S. Mar
shall S. J. Doyle was in Drake, N. D.,
and stopped at hotel at that place
for his dinner. With the other guests
of the establishment, Mr.. Doyle hung
his overcoat on the rack in the cloak
room but when he came out from the
DINING room found that his coat was
missing. F@.sE.s..3 %ss. u.s. .g,
However, it takes more than this to
battle United States marshal. Hang
ing on hook next to where Marshal
Doyle had placed his coat he saw an
other one that was very much like the
one taken, and thinking that the owner
of the coat had made mistake and
gotten hold of the wrong one, the
genial marshal gently appropriated it.
He later learned whose coat he had
taken and returned it to him and re-
ceived long letter from the party in
which it was stated that the writer
had labored under the Idea. that all
government officials were honest and
that he was considerably surprised to
learn that one, especially a U. S. mar.
shall, should deliberately and with
malicious intent and aforethought
steal mans overcoat.
Marshal Doyle does not care much
about the accusations, but he feels
that he is very much the goat as he
is out an overcoat.
