V William Scott the Albino-Faced, Negro Qranted a New Trial—Court Ad ]ourns Until Monday. morning in district coj^rt a po tion for a new trial in the case of Frank Cruikshanks was overruled, as was also a motion for a stay of judg ment: and the convicted man was sen tenced to serve a term oI^quc year and three months at hard labor.in the pen itentiary at Bismarck. Cruikshanks was arrested about sixty idays ago charged with making an as sault with intent to kill. The com plaining witness was Fred Martin, a farmer residing south of Casselton. The evidence in ihe case showed that Cruikshanks was employed by Martin as a farm laborer. About two weeks before the close of the season he ap proached Martin, stated that he was 'going to quit his employ and demanded his money. Martin called the young jinan's attention to the fact that he had agreed to work untii the close of the season and refused to pay him. jCruikshanks drew a revolver and un dertook to enforce collection. Martin ^secured a shotgun to protect himself ^and in a mix-up which followed the controversy Cruikshanks was shot by -J^artin. His injuries were of a trifling ^Wfiture and he was bound and taken ,fob Casselton, where he was examined 92.2$ Tftwffrr pTlrrrt In handsome boxes.

Attorney Hildreth defended rruikshanks. It is understood that the (use will be taken to the supreme court, and pending a decision of the higher court the condemned man will remain in the Cass County jail. A motion for a new trial in the case of the state vs. William Scott, convict ed at this term of making an assault with intent to rob, was argued this aft ernoon by Attorney Frame for the de fendant, and a new trial was granted. Scott was convicted of enticing John Fisher, a Lisbon fuel dealer, to the al ley in the rear of the Washington Ho tel, shooting him and then attempting to rob him. The new trial was granted on an error in the charge to the jury. In the case of Folsjom vs. Sanders, on trial yesterday, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff last night for $900, the amount sued for. Folsom sold three quarters of land for the defend ant and claimed $2 per acre as his .com missions. Court will adjourn tonight until Monday morning, when the case ol the state vs. Tom Davis and Edward McCormick will be taken up. APPOINT THE JUDGES, Collier's Weekly: Our judges are incompetent often and not infrequent ly they are corrupt. Nothing is more absurd than to choose such officials by election, and to that mode of choice is largely due a condition of the bench which has many kinds of evil conse quence. Justice Brewer, whose argu ments against appeal were not well re ceived, has returned to the point in a magazine article, opposing appeal in civil as well as criminal cases. What ever might be thought of his position under ideal circumstances, it is impos sible to consider it with our lower judges remaining wha#*they are. The whole cause of justice is made more expensive, slower and less ideal in re sult by a system for which nothing whatever can be said, except perhaps that the people like election on general principles better than appointment. Two candidates are now selected by party caucuses, which means usually by party bosses. The people, knowing nothing about which is the 'rftore ig norant. vote usually according to party lines. It would be as sensible to choose a government chemist by elec tion. vWe AH ym, 'i IJI 1 Uiijjj, 1 j^njug get poor judges and even those are made worse by b.eiijg. fettered with obligations to the 'men who se cured their nominations and elections. Still another evil result is that, once a judge, a man is likely to be thrown out in a few years, when he has learned a little more than he knew before, and the position has none of the security which might tempt a strong man fond, of the legal science. It is absurd to have limited terms for judges. It is absurd to have party caucuses and pop ular elections choose them. Their po sitions should be permanent during good behavior, they should be well paid, and thiy should be appointed. The results of such a reform would be fert for good in every city and county in America, both in the administration 9f justice and in the pujity ,rif polities.

Great Opportmlty for American Maaatoctarerm te Spppty That Trade. ©Consul General Richard Guenther of Frankfort. Germany, states that Henry Birchenough, who was sent to South ^frica as commissioner by the British board of trade, calls attention to the favorable opportunity in the Orange sfrid Transvaal colonies for the sale of agricultural implements and cheap farm utensils. The agricultural development of these colonies will be tremendous as soon as the projected railroads are completed, and, as the colonies have to start over again, there is now and will be a great demand for light plows, harrows and creamery utensils. The Americans and Canadians, says Mr. Birchenough, have recognized this already and are trying hard to secure as large a share as possible of this commerce. The commercial agent for Canada in Johannesburg, James'G. Jatdine. States that South Africa is a good mar ket for condensed eggs, as fresh eggs are from 3s 6d to 7s 6d (85 cents to $1.82) per dozen. Condensed eggs arc prepared from ordinary eggs by de priving them of their superfluous water and adding sugar. When being pre pared for use. some water is added and the mixture quickly beaten it can then hardly fye distinguished from fresh eggs. These condensed eggs are put up for the South African market in hermeti cally closed boxes, each containing from one pound to several pounds.
