PUTTING HIMSELF IN HER PLACE.

Mrs. Gray stood looking out of the
window, while her husband put on his
hat and gloves, preparatory to going into
town. They had Just risen from nicely
spread table, and the room was neatly
and tastefully furnished.
There were no indications of poverty
there, yet Mrs. Gray's voice and manner
were faltering as she asked for some
postage-stamps.
"How manyp" asked her husband,
CURLY.
"fhree will do. thought 1 would

Ibid you ever reckon up, my dear,
how much you spend for postage stamps,

Gray, as he lit his fragrant cigar.

into the way of thinking that women
needed to be continually curbed, or they
would run into extravagances."

and she helped earn it all, and was pru-

Mr.. Raymond, to Mr.. Gray's great re-
lief, said it would be impossible for him
to go on the proposed trip, owing to I'M
forseen circumstances, whereupon Mr..
Gray, in an off-hand manner, proposed,
that as Frank could not go, they should
all come to his house that evening again.

said he.
The week had passed, and Richard
was himself again. or could be if he
chose. But his wife had mirrored his
past actions so truly and forcibly, that
he had no wish to repeat himself. Annie
had taken care to curb his extravagances,
by giving him always little. less than
he asked for, and invariably inquiring
Just how he he spent it, and, meantime,
reckoning up how much he had had each
day, with great exactness. All this, as
be knew, was copied from his own cus-

off.
The next day, the two friends started
out together, when Mr.. Gray, with an air
of having forgotten something, said,
Excuse me minute"
I'm go back with you, If you have
forgotten anything" said Mr.. Raymond.
Mr.. Gray clapped his hand on his
pocket.
81 thought l had forgotten my pocket
book, but / haven't" he said. $50 it's
all right" and then hurried on, his
cheeks tingling with shame at the de-
ceit. But he could not risk having his
friend go back with him, and stand by,
while he asked for money.
Mr.. Gray was lucky, that day. He
had no calls for money, and he had half
a-dozen of those horrid cigars left, q
couple of which he smoked on the street,
after his friend left him. In fact, he
concluded to risk another day, in the
same way. But ON this day, he realized
the old adage, ut never rains but it
pours;" for from being asked to change
a bill, to getting his coat ripped, and
asking for credit at his tailor's, the day
was q series of notifications.
Annie was unaware of all this; in fact
she thought her husband was failing to
realize the situation; so when, at night,
MIR. Gray asked her for money to spend
the next day, she wickedly put him off
with some excuse. and ingeniously
evaded the request until he was forced
to prefer It before his friend

The Recent Coal Mine Disaster.

The Recent Coal Mine Disaster.
London, Sept. 9.-The accounts Of the
number of men in the Seaham colliery
pit vary. The pit consists of five seams
one below another. The shallowest seam
is AGO feet below the surface. Total
depth of colliery about six hundred
yards. Nineteen men in the top seam
merely felt the rush of air but on pro-
ceeding to the shaft found it blocked by
debris; air coming up the shaft was ex-
ceedingly foul; communication with the
top seam opened ut one o'clock yester-
day afternoon, but because Of the dam
age to the shaft the men could only be
hoistcd out singly by chains and ropes.
1t is thought that the explosion originat-
ed in the lower seam and that the gas
was driven over the furnace. The ex-
plorers for time had to suspend work
IN bringing up survivors, in conse-
quence of the stables being on
fire and woman dropped dead.
The store room has been cleared for the
reception OF the corpses. The latest
published telegram from the inspector
of the mines dated from Seaham at nine
o'clock last evening. said 50 men-had been
rescued and 100 are yet to be accounted
for. Explorations have been stopped on
account of fire in the two middle seams.
Great anxiety is still felt for those in the
pits.

which are supposed to be lying mile

Salt Lake, Sept. 9.-R. I. Smith who
was shot yesterday by DR.. Snedaker
died last night making no statement of
the cause of the quarrel. He was en-
gagged to Miss Agnes. Davidson. Her
father says when Smith proposed mar
riage to his daughter, she told him she
was unfit to marry him, DIR. Snedaker
having in his Office drugged aud outrag-
cd her. Smith urged the girls brother
to avenge his sister, and subsequently
threatened Snedaker with death. Yes
terday they met and Snedaker shot him
on sight. Snedaker's friends say nothing
improper ever passed between him and
Miss Davidson. The latter is half de-
mented over the affair and inaccessible
to reporters. Both men Being dead there

takes With his COncc ana ClOp OF mOrn-
ing), that paper and some individuals
in jamestown were offended because a
north Dakota man had not been. nomi-
mated! Perhaps we ought to excuse
idiocy. but it seemed q good deal like
that for anybody publishing paper in
north Dakota, or having any substantial
interest in the section, to talk about
opposing the nominee of the party, be-
cause he happened not to be resident
of north Dakota. Such person could
not understand the first rule Of arithme-
tic. Suppose we counted the Black
Hills in with all of north Dakota! We
would have about one third of the voters
Of the territory! Make such an issue as
that, with it's consequent antagonisms
from other sections, and when would I'VE
ever ket representative from this sec
ton! How foolish in people living in
the north to attempt to raise any such
issue; it was nonsensical.
While some objected to Pettigrew be-
cause he came from southern Dakota, it
had been alleged that Judge Bennett
didn't come from anywhere. Perhaps
that was a good place to come from, for
the Judge had made an excellent dele
gate, and north Dakota had no cause to
complain of his attention to her interests.
He had done all he could, and the speak
er did not believe there was any man in
the territory of fair capacity, who if sent
to congress would not do as much for
one part rs for another. He had rs
much faith in Pettigrew, coming from
Sioux Falls, as lie would have if he came
from Pembina. When we considered the
important events affecting this territory
which would transpire within the next
two years, it would be seen that what was
wanted was n man that would push and
work. The show part of delegates
position was very little. He did not
have vote, and the result of his actual
and hard labor was in such direc-
tions as constant trampings from this de-
partment to that department., and from
one leading politician to another; work
ing, scheming, striving to get recommen-
dations for needed surveys; engineering
legislation to secure necessary improve
ments for the Red river, or the Missouri
river, and thousand things of anala-
gous character. 10 do all this success
fully, our delegate must have brains,
judgment. cheek, and the strongest kind
of constitution Such man was r.
Frank Pettigrew, who had the talent, in
dustry, and experience necessary; COM
bined with great physical power, force,
and endurance. Thejudge concluded by
hoping that we should hear no more of
northern Dakota, nor any other kind of
narrow sectionalism, and that from this
time henceforwarl, and until the polls
We're closed, every republican in Dakota
would do everything he could, honorably
to secure the triumphant election of Il
