lu>trate the dileren4c between the real
lnd perfect rest OF { le soul which Is the
result Of duty well i one, and that with
Out healthy spiritual effort this rcpOse
could not be had, and the imaginary
rest or safety of the volupiuary, or
the rest OF indifference of the hopeless
sinner or the rest bf the idiot. There
must be occupation in order that the
equilibrium be preserved and real rest
rest attained. HIS illustrations We're
applied 10 spiritual as well a. physical
affairs. IN referring 10 the necessity
for labor, DR.. Hurlburt burst INTO an elo-
quent denuuciauOn OF tie solitary, ldie
confinement IN public prisons. IL
wildly described the horrors OF such
punishment and declared that insanity
was the inevitable result OF IL. He PIC
tured the solitary prisoner who, IN
order 10 occupy his mind and keep
away insanity, would throw three or
four pms on his dungeon floor and
search for them day after day until he
found them, when he would again
scatter them and recommence his
search. His picture was graphic. He
declared that tins sort of punishment
was nhuman and merciless, and
an outrage on humanity. He electri-
fed his audience when he exclaimed
with a passion that fairly blazed. " If
YOU have any such law in the statute
books of Michigan, for humanity sake,
for PHYS sake, for mercy's sake, wipe 1t
out"
DIR. Hurlburt then paid his compli-
ments to the labor organizations OF the
country, which were making a fight
against the competition of convict
labor, IN no unmeanlng terms, and de
clared that the percentage of that sort
OF labor as compared with outside work
was SO small as 10 be almost incOnsider
able; but even If it was larger
than it is the honest labOrine
men Of the country should be willing
to make that sacrifice rather than drive
the cOnyicts INTO madness.
The speaker IN speaking 10 the young
men on the necessity of self-control
said all manly men had strong passions
but true manhood and true greatness
| consisted in subduing and balancing
them and keeping them IN check.

Closed ON Account of Diphtherln.

e
Grand Forks, Oak. Feb. 5 The uni
versity OF north Dakota was closed to-
day on account of diphtheria prevailing
in the dormitory. Several weaks ago o
rumor was current on the street that q
panic existed among the students on SC
count OF diphtheria. Investigation OF
the matter brought to light four cases OF
murnps and three cases of catarrhal sore
throat. This was before the visit of the
legislature to inspect the buildings, but
no sickness was supposed to be existing
during their visit. 1t now turns out that
some of the students have been serious
ly i'll for some time, and the discovery of
two new cases to-day was the result of
closing. One case was located on the
top floor Of the dormitory building and
the other in the basement, showing thet
the entire building was infected. The
physician said the sickness was due to
bad drainage in the building, which
would be overbauled before the school
could reopen, The county health officer
Guaranteed the building to-day, with
instructions not to open the school until
further notice, which will probably be in
two weeks. ALI the students will be re-
called by circular letter from the
board Of regents, who will issue the same
as soon as the quarantine is lifted.

1t is now stated that the governor Of
Dakota did not send his letter of warn-
ing to the territorial veterinarian until
every cent in the fund set apart for his
use had been expend ded. The last war;
rant issued in behalf OF the horse doctor
was not cashed, becauee the money was
exhausted. The governor made con-
siderable parade before the legislature of
his letter of Augustin which he epjoined
economy upon the equine expert. Some
of the curious mem bers OF thas body
went to work to ascertain the facts in
the case and quickly found out that the
money was all squandered before Cover
nor Church calei halt. The horse
doctor would have halted without the
official warning, because there was no
more cash to absorb Ga the face of the
transactions the doctor is guilty of q
most culpsble mlsapplication Of public
funds. All the money set apart to re-
imburse farmers for stock killed by
order of the veterinarian was paid by
him TO his so called deputies.

The Washington correspondent of the
Omaha Bee says an arrangement has
been made whereby the omnibus bill
will be finally ag,e ID to il it is given a
fair chance. The conferees on the part
of the house, he says. will undoubtedly
agree to divide Dakota, grant immediate
admission to the southern half and give
an enabling act to North Dakota and to
ask the house for further instructions re-
lative to the demand of the senate that
New Mexico be stricken out. The DEM
ooratic coaferees on the part of the
house are acting on Caucus instructions,
end caaSot agree to strike out New
Mexico at this time, but when they re-
port to she house that body may 50 To-
struet, and action can be taken before
the democrats can have time to hold
another caucus and agree upon united
action. The work OF Wednesday may
possibly interfere With their programme
and may possibly bring about defeat
OF any action for statehood. This work
was the adoption OF a second omnibus
bill, through which tho admission of
Arizona, Idaho and Wyoming Is sought.
It is said that the second omnibus bill is
put IN merely as stumbling block for
the first omnibus bill AMI that a MAJOR
ity of the democrats in the house favor
the defeat of she original omnibus bill
It is proposition that will go unchal-
lenged that Idaho. Ariz onla and Wyom
Ing are not entitled by reason
OF population TO statehood. The motive
for the introduction of the second omni-
bus bill cannot therefore be the sdmis
sion of those sparsely settled territories
That the bill has been framed and placed
before congress without motive is no.
q reasonable conclusion. SO it is sus-
peoted that the object is to use it as or
impediment to the admission OF republi-
can territories clearly entitled to state.
