DOG ON TRIAL FOR LIFE. "Billy," a diminutive canine, is the center of interest in a dog case from Hawley, that promises to become famous in court annals. He was condemned to die by Judge Herring, of Hawley, but his owner. George Shippey, appealed from his decision, and the matter will be considered by Judge Baxter in district court at Moorhead this fall. Meanwhile, Billy continues to enjoy his liberty.

George Lumley, of Hawley. asked an official decree of condemnation for Billy, Shippey's dog, and ghippey engaged attorney Wm. Russell, of Moorhead, to look after the interests of the canine, while attorney W. G. Hammet, of Hawley, prosecuted the case.

Sixteen witnesses were called to testify as to the viciousness of the dog, who stated that Billy had often run after people and barked at them, but none of them had ever seen him bite anyone or heard of him biting anyone. Judge Herring declared Billy to be a public nuisance and ordered him killed. But Billy's owner at once appealed the case and the 16 witnesses will go to Moorhead and tell their story before a district court jury. I is stated that the testimony seemed to be overwhelmingly in favor of Billy. WARREN HIGH WILL HAVE WINNING TEAM.

Games will be played with the East Grand Forks and Crookston High schools and other towns. aJk-4 iW WARREN THE FLY AS A PUBLIC ENEMY. One by one the plagues of Egypt are being abolished by science.

The frogs were abolished long ago by the draintile. The flies are checked by insect powder, and the darkness that could be felt has melted wa before the arc light. The sixth plague still remains in full glory. The fly is always with us. The great Dr.

Radcliffe used to declare that the three worst annoyances of life were smoke, flies, and irrelevant questions. Humanity has hitherto accepted these with patient shrug of the shoulders as among the inevitable. At last the worm has turned. It is proceeding slowly to put on smoke consumers, and has declared war of extermination against the fly. The motives which whet our hitherto easily blunted purpose are supplied by science.

They are, first, that flies carry disease second, that their very presence is a sign of dirt. That the fly is frequently the Angel of the Pestilence has long been suspected, but its most vivid and impressive demonstration was furnished by the disgraceful death-rate from typhoid, one of the most scandalous of the many murders of official stupidity, in our camps in the South during the Spanish-American War. It was clearly proved by the eminent commission of experts, who investigated the situation postmortem, that the principal means of the spread of this dreaded disease was the flight of flies from the excreta of the earliest cases to the food exposed in the camp kitchens, carrying the typhoid germs on their legs and probosces. Experiments were promptly set on foot, and a gruesomely vivid corroboration furnished. Flies were allowed to feed upon meat smeared with cultures of various bacilli, then induced to alight on gelatin plates, and walk about on them.

These plates were then placed in an incubator, and every step of the track of the fly could, in a few days, be traced by the clumps of bacilli which sprang up where his feet had planted them. Not merely typhoid, but tuberculosis, diphtheria, measles, and sepsis (blood-poisoning), may be readily carried by these pests. The fly must go. Fortunately, the problem of his extermination is not difficulthe is not only a cause but a consequence of dirt. While he can live almost anywhere, he can breed only in some form of filth, most commonly and chiefly in barnyard manure, particularly horse manure.

This he infinitely prefers, but can make shift with garbage-barrels dust-bins, or other accumulations jot dirt. Destroy the latter, and remove stables outside of town limits, and flies will quickly disappear. That this is not too good to be true one may satisfy himself by a practical test. In small towns, where stables can not be got rid of, if the manuie be thrown into a tight box or pit, the opening of which is covered by a wire-screen swing door, or, failing this, as. a rough and ready substitute, the heaD be sprinkled once a week with a little Paris green or other form of arsenic, to poison both the brooding flies and any eggs they may deposit, the plague can be stayed.

Or the problem may be attacked from the other end of the line where openvault privies are in use, by sprinkling the latter with arsenic, and thus killing any flies that may resort to them and become infected. We have known small towns, where the water supply was good, kept entirely clear from any spread of typhoid by this simple precaution, while their neighbors, with equally good water supply, suffered severely. --Colliers Weekly. BROWN'S AUTO BALKS. We have often had to contend with "bucking" gasoline enignes in running our printing establishment and could therefore sympathize with our friend W.

J. Brown, county attorney of Marshall county, when we saw him yesterday afternoon coming into town on his new automobile drawn by Justice Carlson's dray. Mr. Brown was returning from a trip in the country and when about two miles out on his way home the engine stubbornly refused to turn a wheel, and neither threats nor coaxings could change its decision. In this dilemma Mr.

Brown made for the nearest telephone to summon assistance from the city. At last the unruly horseless carriage was attached to Justice Carlson's dray and. with its occupant proudly perched on the rear seat, was pulled into town. TOWN OF NUMEDAHL TO BE EXAMINED BY STATE. At the meeting of the board of county commissioners of Red Lake County, Tuesday, the auditor was instructed to request Public Examiner Schaeffer to send a special examiner to the town of umedahl in that county, to examine the accounts of the town treasurer and town clerk for the years 1905 and 1906, and also to examine the books of.the treasurer and clerk of school district No.

134 in the same town. During the past couple of years there has been a lot of trouble among the residents of over the accjunts of the different officers and school districts, and this week several residents supported by attorneys appeared before the county board in an effort to settle up the troubles. The board heard the arguments, and after consideration determined to ask for a special examiner to go over the accounts and see if these differences cannot be adjusted satisfactorily. It is not specially charged that" there are any discrepancies in these accounts, but in order that the whole deal can be straightened out satisfactory to all parties concerned it was thought that the best course to pursue was to call in a special examiner. The examiner will be likely to be here shortly to do his work, when the whole thing will be made plain and satisfaction dealt out to all.Crookston Journal.

WHO THE FARMER IS. The following, taken from the Anoka Union, is good enough to paste in yourscrapbook: "We heard a couple of town 'doods' make some disparaging remarks yesterday, concerning a farmer who was upon the streets, and whose pants were not fresh from the tailor's press, and whose shoes were of a different pattern from those worn by the critics. You poor, puffed-up imbeciles! Do you know who the is farmer is? He is the man who moves the world. If lie were to go on a strike and refuse to raise a crop for a single year, the effect would be more disastrous than would result if all the railroad men, all the miners and all the trade unions combined were to quit. With his glittering share and with his clinking binder, the farmer toils on, furnishing subsistance for the whole world, and.without his prosperity, the goods would rot on the merchant's shelves, and there would result a paralysis of business on land and sea.

The man, though above the average in intelligence, is dressed in home-spun, and if he has any shining equipments, it is not a paste diamond ring, but a 14 inch plow share, hidden under six inches of mother earth. Stop, when you are about to speak derisively of a farmer, and consider, and see if you are not able to realize that the country and its citizens depend more upon the farmer in his working clothes than upon the pool-room "dood' whose pocket knoweth not the weight of a dime."

The county board had a meeting on Tuesday this week to consider the petition for the proposed ditch No. 15, in the eastern part of the county. A number of farmers from Newfolden, New Solum and Fcxel, appeared before the board and made objections to the assessments made upon their lands for the construction of the ditch.

Among those who were here were Lars Bjorsness, Hans Bjorsness, Claus Johnson, Knute Evenson and S. Sorenson, from town of Newfolden G. J. Vigen, Ed. Silverness, Paul T.

Olson, P. P. Ilagen and Carl Hanson, from towb of New Solum, and Ole Reierson: from town of Excel. T. T.

Tunheim and L. S. Roseland, leading petitioners for the ditch, were also present, also A. J. Lundquist, representing the viewers.

All present seemed to be in favor of the ditch, butlthought the assessments in many cases not just and fair. The board heard their different complaints and succeeded, we believe, in finally adjusting matters everybody was satisfied and returned to their pleased with ditch' "was ordered constructed and if satisfactory started this fall. A STATUE OF MR. ROCKEFELLER WILL BE ERECTED IN TEXAS TO HELP THE TEXANS EXPRESS THEIR EMOTIONS? be A HEATED ARGUMENT. It was at a county-seat town in the famous Eed River Valley, on a Tuesday morning in the month of in the office of a judge of probate whose years in office numbered about as many as the hairs on the top of his head, that a knight of the grip, slim in stature, but old in the service, recounted the incidents of a wreck on one of the great trans-continental railroad lines of our great country and and observed that the cause of the wreck was rotten ties that, the management of the road that while the wrecking train was busy clearing the track, a passenger train- crashed into it that it was a notorious fact that the same railroad had more than thirty wrecks in thirty days.

Whereupon a listner who had served many years as an attorney for the railroad in question denied the last assertion and the man of the road came back with a bet of $1,000.00 and.was met with the assertion that he was not worth that much money and could not raise it and the veteran traveler asked if the (Atty.) called him a liar and received an affirmative answer. Then all the lire of five past generations and the memories of deeds of ancestors in the Revolutionary War welled up in the mind of the small man who said "If you were not so beastly big, I would knock your head off," and as his eye fell upon a carpenter's hammer, he seized it, and, lo and behold, the judge took hold of the business end of the extemporized weapon and counseled a cessation of hostilities. The like the railroad, was unscared and unmoved, but a tragedy was averted and the fair peacable little village eyes of the preserved. SHEAF.

SAYS LUNACY IS DUE TO WORRY.

WINE. WOMAN. London, Sept. 22.Dr. Carlos F.

MacDonald, the well known alienist, says in regard to recent statistics of the insane: 'That there is a steady numerical increase in insanity is undeniable, but that there is any material increase in the ratio of insanity to the sane in population is very doubtful. Statistics show that the insane in Endland and Wales increased from 36,762 in 1859 to 123.988 in 1907, a numerical increase of 237 per cent, whereas the estimated increase in the general population in the same period was only 77 per cent. "It goes without saying that substantially every individual during the most active stage of his life, the stage at which insanity is most frequent, is almost daily exposed to chief exciting causeswine, woman, worry and work. And yet sanity is the rule and insanity the exception of MINNESOTA mSTORlCAL SOCIETY. NUMBER 4 2 High School Notes Glynn I Sinclair, Joe Staska, Reporters.

Many of the girls are very anxious to play. Some of the girls finished their work aprons in sewing class Monday.

The foot ball prospects are daily growing brighter as the veterans stream in from the farm, where they have been busy acting the role of Reuben during the glad days. It has been hinted that the pupils will be required to keep step to waltz music sometime, maybe, but when? Notice is hereby served that in the future, groups of more than two conversing together in whispres will be considered as plotting against the whites and a severe punishment inflicted, probably banishment. The Physics class is already very brilliant as they are so far advanced as to be able to find the resultant of they do not happen to have their lesson. If you intend to join the Zoology class be sure that you can fill the requirements as a foot-racer or you may have some kind of a time capturing specimens.

Congressman Halvor Steenerson "eceived word from the chief and nn of the Red Lake Indians asking ii'in to hold a conference with them. Mr.

Steenerson writes back that he will visit the agency in a short time, the exact date hot being fixed, and will be pleased to meet a large delegation of the Indians. The most important matter to be discussed is the proposed opening to sale of part of the remaining pine on the reservation A bill for this purpose was introduced at the last session of congress but to a disagreement about its terms Mr Steenerson did not press its passage and concluded to wait until the next session. Tne question as to how the pine should be sold, whether it should be sold by the Indians on the reservation or disposed or outright, was still open. Also as to whether it should be sold in a period of 5, 10 or 15 years was under dispute. The Indians have a grievance against the government, but in this have not been paid over the money belonging to their minor children, arising from the sale of the eleven townships.

The law actually provides for the payment of this but the department refuses to pay them. The Indians growing impatient have beeu planning to bring legal proceedings against the government but in this Mr. Steenerson has discouraged them. AjiV,".
