The retirement of a block or $39,000
worth of Fargo city bonds will, go far
toward strenthening the city's credit
abroad. With this large batch of binds:'
out of the way. and the $9,000 block?
which tails due in June next, the city
will be on "easy street"" financially, and
the -next annual appropriation and the
budgets for a quite a number of years
to come will be considerably diminished.
In the early day administrations, when
these Jjonds were issued and sold, no
provision in the shape of a sinking fund
was made for their payment and the
burden has fallen the hardest on the
taxpayer during the past two or three
years of their life. For instance when
the last appropriation was made it was
necessary to set aside $19,000 with which
to take up these bonds—nearly one-half
of the total amount. In the future a
nominal annual sinking fund will care
for the bonds that will mature in the
years to co.ne and the harden to the
taxpayer will be very light, in fact will
be scarcely felt. The city's financial
condition is now better than it has
been' for a number of years past, and in
another year the weight of the city's
indebtedness will not be noticeablc U, the
taxpayer.

that instances of this have been noticed

to be disposed of, but when they came
to be examined it was found that all
the bees were dead.

Some curious specimens of folk-lore
and natural history are contained in a
rare book, called "The Sportsman's
Dictionary," to which C. M. Woolsey
lias drawn my attention. This was pub

years ago. The author was
evidently a Philistine among Philistines,
in his attitude toward nature.
Of the master musician, the blackbird,
he says:
"This bird is known by all persons,
and is better to be eaten than kept, being
much sweeter to the palate when dead
and well roasted than to the ear while
living. Sings about three months jn
the year. orMour at most, though his
song is worth nothing but if he be
taught to whistle, he is of some value,
it being very loud, though coarse." What

And here is the story of the squirrel
with the ring in it of the seventeenth
even more than the eighteenth century.
It reminds one of the "hares of Izaak
Walton that changed their sexes once a.

C. N. Moore, a postofike inspector
from Illinois, arrived in the city last
evening, having in charge August F.
Schmhlenberger, who was arrested at
Hebron, yesterday, charged with em
bezzling money order funds from a post
office in a small Illinois town, where he
officiated as deputy, postmaster. The
defalcation was discovered last August
and the officers have since been on the
lookout for the absconding deputy.
Schmhlemberger was arraigned this
morning on a warrant issued hy United
States Commissioner Montgomery of
this city charging him with embezzle
ment. He waived an examination and
v.as bound over to the federal grand
jury for southern Illinois district, which
wiil be called at Springfield next Jan
nary. In default of $1,000 bond the
prisoner was turned over to the cus
tody of Marshal John Haggart and con
fined in the Cass County jail. He
will he taken to Springfield by a deputy
marshal from the Fargo office some
time next month.
Schmhlenberger is a young German
about 19 years of age, and feels his dis
grace keenly. He talks but little of his
gu-lt or innocence. He says* that he did
not fly from Illinois to evade the of
fictTs. but to go into a new country
where he might hide his shame. He
was sorely disappointed when he dis
covered that he would not be prose
cuted here, but would be taken hack
nn-ong his friends and acquaintances.
His peculations amounted to about $t,
)ca\ which were made good by his
h. •udsmcn.
DISTRICT COURT IN SESSION
The Case of the Aetna Indemnity Co. Vs.
Fred Schroeder is oil Trial.
District court was convened at 9:30
this morning. The jurymen, who "nave

were all in their seats when the court
w called. The case of the Aetna In
rle-.'.mity Co. vs. Fred Schroeder, et al„
was taken up at once and at noon was
fairly under way. The plaintiff in this
case sues to recover a judgment for

fendants as a portion of their responsi
bility on the guarantee bond of the late
Jc.^eph Clements. It is thought the case

The Senator Discussed the Reasons forjits
Passasc. v:
The MfeCtoribeT bill to prevent ^ie
adtilteration pnd misbranding of bread
stuffs, foods and liquors is attracting
general attention and organized oppo
sition. It is a good bill, and will receive
favorable consideration by the commit
tee and.,by the senate and unless or
ganized Opposition shall prevent it is
likely also to receive the favorable con
sideration of the house and be enacted
into law. When asked for a statement
of reasons for the introduction of this
bill. Senator McCumber said:
'"The necessity of national legislation,
suuplemfcnting the efforts of the several
state to. free their territory from spu
rious, adulterated and falsely branded
articles of food, is manfest to every
one who has made a study of the sub
ject, or taken part in attempting to en
force the laws of the states.
"Nearly all of the adulterated food
products are sold in states other than the
state in which they are manufactured.
and thus become articles of inter-state
commerce. Now that it has been de
cided hy the supreme court of the
United States, under the inter-state
clause in our constitution, that goods
any character shall have free access
from one state to another, all such
goods are protected by this inter-state
commerce clause in their original pack
ages, until they have been sold, and
mingled with the mass of similar pro
perty in any state.

every other state of the
union.
"The inter-state clause of the consti
tution is the gap in the legislative wall,
in any state erected against spurious
goods, which allows free access. The
state is powerless to close this gap.
Congress alone can do it. Therefore
it is the duty of congress to do it. The
amount of adulterated articles imposed
upon the country is enormous. There
is scarcely a known article of food which
has not been seized upon by the un
scrupulous manufacturers, and adulter
ated to the extent sufficient to enable
them to compete with and undersell the
genuine article.
"A year or two ago the department
of agriculture, obtaining the best data
possible, estimated very conservatively
that $1,170,000,000 worth of adulterated
and misbranded articles of food were
sold every year in this country. It is
probably trap that double this apiount
is sold. From this one can get some
thing of an idea of the immense frauds
in food and drug products which are
perpetrated unon the people of the na
tion. and which the states are strenu
ously but ^unsuccessfully attempting to
meet.
fair estimate can be placed upon
the wholesale murder of our citizens by
reasons of delectrious, misbranded foods
and drugs being ssold as genuine.
"TwO great needs are met by this bill.
One is the ability of the national gov
ernment to reach the root of the evil,
the manufacturer, and prevent the ship
ment of any of his adulterated goods
into any other state. The other is,
that by a national pure food law cover
ing the subject clearly and explicitly,
all state laws would soon conform to
the national law.
"At present each st^te has its own
laws, which differ Very materially from
each other, and even where they are
practically the same, the officers hav
ing their enforcement in charge often
nakc different and contrary rulings.
"The honest manufacturer, the man
ufacturer who is willing to conform to
each of the stato laws, by branding his
articles what tj^ey are, finds himself
er»«ndfed in great difficulties on account
of those diverse holdings. He is put
to the expense of a great amount of
needless litigation. What we heed is one
law which will be good all over the
country, and which will compel evety
dealer or manufacturer in food or drug
products to sell the same for just what
they are, and if they are mixed, mis
branded or adulterated articles, they
should be rebrainded before going into
the markets.
"When the federal government hats
done its part by protecting inter-state
triffic in such articles, unless they go
Hb the markets undisguised we sfall
