draw more interesting scene than that

THE PROHIBITION BANQuO.
The ghost! 1t came again. In truth it
did, for yester'en as statesmen in the
chamber senatorial were moving softly
from the field of the LaMourian war the
pale and ghastlJ form stalked out once
more. After as zig-zag a journey as bill
ever travelled through the ranks Of the par
liamentary slashers, the billreached its third
reading, and the gentlemen who believe in
making it sufficiently extreme to permit of
no compromise, made war with their
amendments. The amendment making
the buyer equally guilty with the sell er
was adopted by q vive v0ce vote, but by
Senator Swanston's demand for roll
call it was defeated. SwanstOn is not
aI1ald arr u%.n to 20 on , record himself,
should 20 on record he unwittingly defeated
the very amendment that he favored.
Some one weakened. It is claimed, now

The Ordway wave is now moving west

a. m. Meeting of the LaMoure and Ord
way currents in the vicinity of Bismarck,
followed by 9 cyclone which will move
eastward and rage for several months in
the Red river valley.
AN APPEAL TO REASON.
Dear Senator: I see you voted in favor
of the amendment to the prohibition bill
making the buyer equally guilty with the
seller. 1t cannot be that you gave the
matter serious thought, and 1 trust you
will reconsider your action before tits too
late. True, as you say, we are here to
represent the people, but we should not
forget that self.preservation is the first
law OF nature. The buyer should not be
made criminal. We considered this mat
ter carefully in the house. We should be
1slate ourselves into the penitentiary.

THE COLLEGE SONG.
In the emergency clause OF the Grand
Forks university bill providing funds fol
the gymnasium, the thoughtful Walsh
states that they need the money to properly
develop those parts used in the manly arts
