Up Forward."
Special to The Journal.
Fargo, N. D., July 7.It is now re
ported that there will be something done
on the Fargo street railway this fall. The
promoters seem to have unloaded a con
siderable amount of stocks on some east
ern parties and then abandoned the fran
chise. The men who invested have no
other recourse than to prosecute the work.
Letters have been forwarded to local par
ties in which it is announced that an engi
neer will be sent here at once and that
the contracts will be carried out so that
street cars will be running here by Nov.
1. Fargoans are becoming somewhat of
the Missouri order, however, and will want
to be shown.
An employe of a Front street restaurant
attempted suicide here. Ho gives the
name of Wallace. Little is known of him.
He went to the Waldorf pharmacy and
asked for some strychnine, claiming that
the proprietor had sent him for it. It is
thought he attempted suicide and his
nerve failed him, as some of the strychnine
was removed from the bottle and later
found on the floor. Wallace refused to
talk of his troubles.
The wholesale bakery, formerly operated
toy George Pirie and recently sold to Sin
ton & Wagner, has again changed hands
and Hans Peterson, the proprietor of the
Vienna bakery is the new proprietor and
will consolidate the plants.
Superintendent Hill of the North Da

NORTH DAKOTA
N. D. PURE FOOD LAW
It Went Into .Effect July 1, but
All Is Not Yet
Serene.
The Grocers Have Stocks on Hand
That Do Not Fill the
Bill.
Special to The Journal. ,
Fargo, N. D., July 7E. F. Ladd, food
commissioner of North Dakota, has is
sued a press bulletin in relation to the
pure food law which went into effect July
1. Merchants thruout the state have
asked what they are to do with goods al
ready in the sta|g that do not come up
to the requirement of the law. He says:
"We have, these goods in the state. In
many cases neither the merchants or
the wholesaler in selecting the goods
knew that they would not comply with
the requirements of the law. In my
judgment there is but one honorable course
to take. That is to allow the sale of all
food products, not immediately harmful,
found legitmately in trade in the state on
July 1st: Therefore as food commissioner
I have taken the following stand and ask
all merchants to govern themselves ac
cordingly:
All extracts, spices, coffees, teas, vine
gars, jellies, jam(3, preserves, syrups,
molasses, catsups, etc., now In the state
will be exempt from inspection until
Jan. 1, 1904. Heavy goods and those
usually carried for long periods of time
will be exem| from .inspection until
July 1, 1904. This applies only to goods
now in the state. The order may be re
voked where the privilege is abused.
All goods shipped into the state: after
July 1 will be subject to inspection wher
ever found. Therefore we ask all mer
chants to see that their goods, now in
stock, be disposed of by the dates men
tioned.
All new goods received after July 1 are
to be identified by the several invoices
held by merchants. The same ruling ap
plies to wholesalers, manufacturers and
jobbers in North Dakota as to the retail
merchants.
An inspctio nof our records shows that
more than 90 per cent of the brands of
lemon extracts examined as offered for
sale in North Dakota do not comply with
the requirements of the law. Some of
them contain no lemon oil whatever.
Even a larger per cent of the vanilla ex
tracts fall to comply with thet spirit of
the lrw.
Of jellies and jams, about 70 per cent
do not comply -with the law. Of canned
goods, about 60 per cent of the brands
fail to pass. I am pleased to say that in
most cases manufacturers state that in the
future their godos are to be made to meet
the requirements of the law. The pro
ducers have very generally stated their in
tention to correct any existing wrong.
Proper labeling will cover the majority of
. products.
Continuing he proceeds to touch up the
manufacturers of fraudulent food prod-:
ucts, saying that fully 85 per cent of the
vinegars,. for instance, are fraudulent.
While some of the mince meats contain
no meat at all. Still, he says that many
of these products, while fraudulent are
not poisonous.
"Retailer and consumer alike should be
come familiar with the fact that when
a product Is labeled, for example,. Ex
tract'of Vanilla and Tonka, it is ape'r-"
fectly healthy product and not different
from^wh^t ^they have. been, getting and
.using for years as Extract of Vanilla, and
it may be more to their taste than .a pure
vanilla. Such products are' not necessar
ily harmful. They are commercial frauds
and work an injustice on the honest man
ufacturers.
"If a product contains corn syrup or
glucose, in my judgment, it is healthy
and not to be condemned when properly
labeled.
"The majority of the jellies, jams, etc.,
sold for currant, strawberry, etc., are
made from other fruit jelly, mainly ap
ple, and may contain no currant or straw
berry whatever. These products cannot
be labeled as currant jelly, etc., but must
be labeled simply 'Fruit Jelly.' Artificial
jelly riot made from fruit must be labeled
'Imitation Jelly,' and without the name
of the fruit."
DROWNED IN A WELL
Swen Johnson's Search for His Lost Child

KINDRED, N. D.Sunday afternoon,
while Swen Johnson and wife of Walcott
were visiting with friends four miles west

and a half when found. It was their only
child.Andrew Larson, who became de

JAMESTOWN, N. B.District court convened
yesterday, Judge, Glaspell presiding. The civil
calendar was light, there being only five cases
for jury trial. The criminal cases will be dis
posed oi first and later the civil cases will be

TAX JUDGMENT CASES
The Lots City of Billings Gets 2,000
Within Its Own Limits.
BILLINGS, MONT.A suit to
title to a large number of lots withinquiet the
city limits of Billings was brought in the
district court yesterday by city attorney
J. D. Matheson and Attorney A. M. John
son in behalf of the city of Billings
against the Minnesota and Montana. Land
and Improvement company. The suit is
the finale of an attempt to collect a
special improvement tax levied against
the lots of the land. company over eight
years ago for the purpose Qf constructing
a drainage ditch around the city. The
land company refused to pay'its portion
of the tax and the tax. became delinquent.
They brought suit in the United States
court to declare the tax illegal, and to
secure a-permanent injunction to prevent
the city acquiring a deed to the property.
This was refused by Judge Knowles and
the case was appealed to the United
States circuit court of appeals at San"
Francisco for permanent Injunction1.
This the court refused and discharged the
temporary injunction. In the process of
law the city acquired deed to the lots,
numbering something like 2,000, and now
asks the court to quiet title to-the same.
The amount of delinquent taxes and in
terest and penalty now amounts to almost
$14,000

PROMISING LIFE CUT SHORT
The Bright Little Son of Rev. C. W. Vin
cent Killed by the Cars.
WINNIPEG, - MAN.Without a . mo
ment's warning, a single cry, or even a
jolt to the Park line cars which ran over
him. Ralph Vincent, aged 15, a bright
little lad, was killed Instantly in River
Park, last night., The'accident appears
to have been no one's fault. There had
been a picnic party of the Logan Averfue
Baptist Sunday school at River Park, and
Ralph, who was the son of Rev. C, W.
Vincent, pastor of the^ church, was by
no means anxious to go. He was a Ca
nadian Pacific railway telegraph messen
ger and a,promising lad. However, with
his elder brother, -Roy, he went to the
outing and spent a pleasant day with his
young friends. It was as. they were re
turning home that the fatality occurred.
This boy was one of a party of three who
ran to jump on the cars. The other two
caught the handles, but this little fellow
failed to do so, fell under the cars and
was killed..

Hopper In the Dunsmuir Will Case.
. VICTORIA, B. CThe court that will

James Dunsmuir, legatee under the.will.
In a preliminary action, James Dunsmuir,

MOTHER'IOWA IDEA"
An Insurance Graft Postered by
State Officials and Members of
j the Legislature.
The Companies Denied the* Privilege
of Operating in This State,
However.
Chicago, July 7.William E. Curtis, in
a Des Moines special to the Record-Herajd
says:
If one may believe half that Is told him
the people pf Iowa have been robbed of
enormous sums of money by fraudulent
Insurance, ..and it is only! charged that
the. state officials and the legislature
knowingly permit this to be done, because
Influential bankers, merchants arid poli
Icians are interested In the companies.
Des Moines, like Hartford in the east,
is a sort of headquarters for insurance or-,
ganizations which, I am told, is largely,
due to the liberality of the.laws of the
state and the lax manner in which they
have been enforced. Some of the De3
Moines companies are not permitted to do
business in other states, particularly in
Missouri and Minnesota, where the laws
are strict and the insurance commission^
ers are vigilant. . Several have been re-
| peatedly exposed and denounced in
reputable journals, but the local papers
say nothing about them, because they are
large advertisers and their managers are
prominent citizens. I was told the other
day that half the state officials who lost
their offices settled down In the insurance
business as ex-members of congress
usuallylbec ome pension and claim at
torneys in Washington and their combined
influence is sufficient to prevent the en
actment of laws to protect the innocent
victims of a scandalous system. The cir
culars which, the companies send out are
enough to condemn them. . Their promises
are preposterous.. It seems, incredible that
intelligent people can be deluded, but that
is the way of the world. The willingness
of mankind to.accept unlawful gains and
the anxiety to secure much for little
usually blinds the eyes when inducements
and opportunities to get rich quick are
offered.

ROSEATE PROSPECTS
For Nature Has Done Her Prettiest
to Ensure Him Prosperity -'
This Year.
Armour, July 6.The Fourth has come
and gone and with it came a most health
ful fall of rain to the crops in this section
of South Dakota. We now have certain
assurance that Douglas county will har
vest a record-breaking crop this year.
Last winter the country was visited by
an exceptionally heavy fall of snow which
prevented the ground.freeing to any great
extent. The.snow lasted until March an4
even into April and In melting, saturated
the ground "with moisture. Then. tlj
weather cleared off just right to giye jtHe
farmers a chance to work the ground aad
get in their crops. During April'and May
as well as June. a .rairi has .come every
time it was needed, and neither too sooo
nor too heavy. There has not been on*
week since the crops were planted that
weather conditions could have been more
favorable for their growth, except,, per
haps, ,at times for corn, but this Is a
natural condition here and the good cora
weather is with us now in July. Con*
will mature here in six weeks, end farm
ers say that if corn is eight orten inehef
high by the Fourth there is every pros
pect for a good crop and there is lots-of
corn here that is now- almost waist high.
Even the most pessimistic and exacting
farmer is compelled to smile as he see*
his great fields of corn, wheat, oats, rya
and other grains in the most perfect con*
dition, standing as thiek as it can grow,
with the very best of soil under It and
watered by just the
