Boston Transcript: One of the best Exhibits of American management of the Philippines is the prison at Bilibid, the largest in the world, having under Its control 5,000 prisoners, 3,000 of whom are within a single enclosure. Billibid prison in Manila and the home colony on the southern island of Palawan have never witnessed an attempted outbreak. This is due to the efficacy of "the Billibid principle," which is said to combine moral force with physical force, the former being considered at least of equal strength with the armed guards, of whom there are never more than sixteen on guard at one time. The Industrial system is so admirably man aged at Bilibad that a discharge from} the prison is considered a letter of! recommendation the man released never hesitates to apply for work and it is seldom that work is withheld.

CENSURED THE COMPANY, of Verdict of Jury Touching Death Mrs. Schranz at N. P. Crossing. The substance of the verdict of the jury which inquired into the cause of the death of Mrs. Gertrude Schranz, yesterday afternoon, was that the un fortunate woman came to her death from injuries alleged to have be*m caused by being knocked down by the engine of train No. 4, at the Eighth street crossing of the North ern Pacific Railway Co., and censured the management of the company for allowing switch engines to obstruct the crossing on the approach of a passenger train.

If a bill which is to be submitted to the coming legislature, at the instance of the state tax commission, passes, Minnesota will have a system of coun ty assessors and thus do away with the army of incompetent town asses sors. The outline of the bill is to be published by the commission and will be of great interest to all property owners. It looks like a step in this right direction. It certainly would not require much of a change to improve the present system, which is mostly guess work by men who are not good guessers. The proper steps have been taken and the name of Carl Tonsager, dem ocrat, will be placed on the general election ballot as candidate for sher iff. C. A.

D„ Oct. 7.—To The Forum: Now since the bumper crop has been realized the chief topic of Interest In this section of the country Is county division. Morton county is so large that it can be divided into four coun ties of legal size, and the county seat is situated in a remote corner from ua making- a three days trip by rail, which is both a wasteful and unsatisfactory procedure. A Grant county division rally will be held in Elgin, Oct. 26 in order to instruct the voters in matters relating to the proposed division. The committoe in charge expect to have able speakers present on this occasion. The new Farmers elevator is near ing completion. The Equity society's local manager, Mr. Madison has been buying grain for some time and load ing directly into cars. Our new four room school building is nenring completion. Soon the school children will be comfortably housed in permanent, and convenient quarters. The half block owned by the public schools is situated by the side of the public park and its shaded lawns will add materially to that splendid feature of our town. Charles Waechter and Mayor Tschida of Glen Ullin were business visitors in our town during the past week. Sheriff Olson and States Attorney Bitzing were Elgin visitors Saturday, also Mr. Countryman, auditor of the Mandan Mercantile company. Quite a number of our enterprising citizens are attending the North Dakota Industrial Exposition at Bismarck. F. G. Boetscher, Jacob Balliot and I. Gintz ler were passengers on the special train Saturday over the Northern Pa cific. A star mail route from Elgin to Leipzig will be Inaugurated within a few. days. Cor. E. LIGHTNING ARESTERS. Sevora Electric Storms No Longer Stop Trolley Cara. When electric street cars were first Installed their greatest enemy was a severe thunder shower. The lightning seemed to have a particular mania for dashing down on the trolley wires and following them aVong to the various trolley cars, doing considerable dam age to the equipment and scaring the timid passengers into hysterics. For years and years the greateet in ventors aJid scientists of the age have worked to produce a device to protect the trolley cars and the line equipment from the ravages of lightning. These devices, crude and imperfect as they were, did fairly well under ordinary conditions and were called "lightning arresters" 'because they sometimes stopped the lightning before it did any serious damage and led it away to a place of safety. It was not until very recently that an aluminum cell lightning arrester was perfected which worked equally well under all conditions and offered pro tection even during the most severe thunder storms. This "arrester" was taken to the mountain districts of Colorado, where thunder storms are the most severe on record, and given a thorough demonstration. The device proved an absolute protection to trol ley cars, power stations and all other out-door electrical equipment Now down In 'old Virginia they have some pretty good electrical storms and It seems every time one of these storms came along it held a special grudge against the Roanoke Railway & Elec tric Co. and proceeded to demol ish its equipment. It became the cus tom in Roanoke to stop the trolley cars whenever a thunder storm came along. Of course, this was a groat inconven ience to the traveling public, who real ly desire to ride when it is stormy, but they did not complain, because it was always better to sit still In an idle car rather than to take a chance with the vindictive lightning playing around the trolley wires. As soon as the Roanoke company heard of the Denver experiment it sent for the new lightning arresters and placed them along its lines where they would have a fair chance to demon strate their abilities. The experiment was a complete success. Although Roanoke was recently vis ited by one of the most severe elec trical storms in Its history The Times of that city states that the cars con tinued to operate without interruption. "Experiences of the local company have been the same as at Denver," says The Times. "The cars now pro ceed with their schedules during storms with the same regularity they do at all other times, and there has not been tb slightest trouble from lightning durinc the recent storms. It is said that nov. the safest place in Roanoke, during a thundrestorm Is on an electric car. 2—B If the Astor baby had his way he probably would trade his $3,000,000 for an all-day sucker.

In a letter to the sporting depart ment of The Forum Kossick says: "I am feeling fine for my coming contest with Lucca and believe that I will win bv a decisive margin. I am going to do my best, for this bout means a good deal to me right now. "I understand that 1 will get a bout with Packey McFarland before long, but just when I do hot know." Robert P. Collins, a sport promotor of this city has received a wire from McFarland stating that he will come to Fargo and Meet Kossick, provided a $1,500 house is guaranteed, but that he cannot come unless it be Monday night or earlv next week.

The Nationals, however, failed to put in an appear ance thus forfeiting the game to the academy. The St. Albysius boys are out for the championship, they are seeking for more scalps and are anxious to do bat tle with the High school freshmen, the Aggassiz or any other team of their class.
