THERE seems TO be q mistaken idea
with a great many as to the manner in
which delegates to the constitutional con.
vention are to be chosen. The omnibus
bill provides that North Dakota shall be
divided into twenty-i five districts. The
arrangement of these districts is placed in
the hands of the governor, the secretary,
and the chief justice of the territory.
This arrangement Of boundaries will, we
understand. be perfected in few days.
Emmons county and Burleigh will be
placed IN one district, or Emmons and
two or three counties east will be
hunched. Each district is entitled to
three delegates. A voter ls allowed to
cast his ballot for but two candidates.
This provision of the bill was intended
by Mr.. Springer to allow the democrats
to elect the third delegate. From the
above It will be seen that there are num-
Der of counties n each of several dis.
.trlcts. Emmoas county should not be
left out in the cold this time. For this
occasion, If at no ether, the republi.
cans of the county should see to it that
their ranks are unbrokea. Unless they
send solid delegation of able and hard.
working delegates, united or instructed
for some one man--and he a republican
it is pessible-nay prebable-that En-
mons county will have to give way to
the other counties Of the diatrict where
unity prevails. By the terms of the em.
nlbus bill providing Cor cumulative xot-
ing, the democrats are almost sure to
elect the third delegate in each district.
The republicans. through point of nura.
bers, are entitled to the ether two,

This Means the Pacific Slope

Successful men, says the DEVILS Lake
Inter Ocean. seldom determine uron q
deliberate sacrifice of their property and
sell out during dull season to go to a
new country whence the winds have
waited the siren notes of milk. and honey
times. 1t is the restless, discontented
spirit that roves the earth in imitation of
the rolling and mossless stone, the man
who dreams and longs for the "easy
times he has heard that other folks are
having in some distant cline, who dis.
poses of his worldly goods at halt price,
leaves one new country and starts for an
other not half its equal, because, mayhap,
he has not plowed so deep or so wide OF
has been less successful than his plodding
neighbor. The man who thrives and
prospers ls he who is content to ''let well
enough alone" The fare over the line
that runs from "Dlscontent'' to Easy
Times is high, and too many people live
to regret that they neglected to buy re.
turn ticket.

The Eden Musee, situated on Wabash avenue and
Jackson street, Chicago, Is open from 10 A. NJ. to
1880 p. M and Is undoubtedly one of the grandest
places of art and amusement of the highest class In
America There are only three similar places like
the Eden Musee in the world, such as Madame
Tussaud's in London, the Musee Gravin in Paris
and the Eden Musee in New York City. The
Eden Musee Is . resort of highly educational ORDER
and for artistic information. Here can be seen the
nobility and prominent people of the world
natural as life; and, in fact realistic that 1t
frequently happens that people while admiring the
many fine groups are taken for wax. While you
are leisurely strolling through this spacious and
beautiful place, admiring the wonderful works of
art the enchanting strains OF Mr.. Paul Olahs cele
brated Hungarian orchestra be distinctly heard
throughout the entire building and their concerts
afternoon and evening, an attraction worth the
price OF admission.
A wonderful and mysterious figure here Is Ajeeb,
the chess and checker automaton, which plays
chess and checkers and Is confident that he viii

tion-that ID, Ajeeb against the field.

Halleck died the same year in which he penned
these interrogatories and made forecast that has
since been fatteringly realized. His own success
as poet is not exclusively trumpeted by Ameri-
cans. In the whole range of dramatic verse, war
monody song tribute to martyred heroism, his
"Bozzaris" is unexcelled. 1t sparkles like flaw

We all know the story of Francis Bret Harte,
son of female academy professor at Albany, N. Y.

opulent boy has for two decades been interna-
tional.
England, Germany, France, Russia, India, Aus

broad delta of those mighty continent streams

who wrote an unveneered narrative of the deeds
and misdeeds Of John OakhWrst and his brother

A single humorous skit in rhyme, original with
this noted recording secretary of "The Society
Upon the Stanilaus," did more to advertise the
"pensive," "child- like" and now cOnspicuously

voted to vivid descriptions of over peopled China,
and the earth-swarmng, yellow complexioned sons
of her cline.
