Il Wonderful Woman Mrs. Abbott

ST. Cloud Daily Times: Mrs. r. n
Abbott appeared again last night at the
Opera house and gave another exhibi-
ton, which was almost similar to the one
on the previous evening.
, One of the tests which was given last
night consisted of Mrs. Abbott, transmit
ting her power to a boy by means of two
silk hardkerchiefs, the boy holding one
end of the pieces of silk and she
the other. In a similar way che also
transmitted the force through two bill
lard cues and there was not man on
the committee who could lift the boy. 1t
was noticeable, however, that where the
men took hold of the boys arms they left
a mark for an instant but not the slight
est impression was visible on Mrs.
Abbott's arms. During the p psrformance
last night she also lifted nine of the men
on the committee at once. No one has
as yet advanced a theory upon her mys-
terious power which they are prepared
to explain, and it remains as one of the
evidences Of & hidden power upon which
science has not yet thrown it's light.

is THIS a CAMPAIGN LIE?

u Republican Nominee for the Legis.
lature Charged With Seduction and
an Attempt made uu his Life.
A dispatch from Steele to the Bismarck
Tribune relates the following particulars
OF a sensatlon which has startled the
people of kidder county:
The town was startled on Wednesday
evening by an attempt on DR.. Harcourt s
life by an irate father for the attempted
seduction OF his daughter. The would
be avenser Is S. A. Hogue, one Of Kid
der countys most respected citizens and
a county commissioner. He met the
doctor at the railroad crossing and struck
him several times with a pocket knife,
but without lntiicting any injuries. The
doctor broke away and ran up the street
toward the hotel iotickney and disappear
ed IN the darkness, and has not been
seen since. The father claims he caught
the doctor and his daughter, a Il year
old school girl, IN a compromising posi-
tion last Monday afternoon, and as the
doctor has left here there seems to be no
doubt as to the truth OF it. The senM-
ment IS in favor of the wronged family
ana very bitter against the doctor and 1t
would not be safe for him to return. He
has accumulated considerable property
which will have to be sacrificed. He was
a candidate for the legislature on the re-
publican ticket with every prospect of
election. He was prominent man in
politics and society, not only at home,
but throughout the state. Nothing has
caused SO much excitement since the
town was started. A warrant has been
issued for the doctors arrest. The legis-
latlye committee will immediately select
another man 70 run for the legislature in
his place.
Later advices by the Tribune at an
early hour this morning are to the effect
that the doctor will return at once and
face the music; That he did not believe it
wise to return until the excitement had
died out, but is prepared to show that it
is job put up on HIM for political pur-
noses.

L,snts Gut, November 1.

Mr.. Klaus, in reply to an inquiry OF an
Alert reporter as to what he could do to-
wards complying with the order of the
council! requiring him to put in from five
to eight extra arc lights at the Old con-
tract price of S95 year each, said:
Il stated to the council in our June
meeting and wrote to them August 9th
from Milwaukee. that the Electric Light
company had failed, had sunk all their
capital, had no more money to sink and
that we could not raise any more If we
wanted to. [ stated to them that If they
would pay $3.50 per month, the same
price as last years contract, | would run
it T. months longer at the same price
and see what would turn up during that
time. Most all the aldermen stated that
if the taxpayers recommended TO make a
contract for another year at the same
rate they would cheerfully vote FOR the
extension Of the contract. The recon-
mendation extending the contract was
signed by almost every business man in
in jamestown, and Alderman p. ". Alley
had the face to make motion to table
the petition. when it came to a vote.
Four votes were given to grant the peti-
ton and the mayors vote would have
been the fifth which would have carried
the request. -Four aldermen voted
against it. p. w. Alley, Adams, Eager
AMI Hotchkiss. My vote was thrown ont
on account of being interested in the
contract. That prevented the mayor
from voting as he has only vote in case
of tie vote. The majority of the coun-
Gil instructed the electric light committee
to pat in from five to eight more arc
lights at S95 year. All l have to say
is that the more light any company gives
at that price the more money they loose.
Tho company, as stated. lost all they had
and have not another dollar to put in
therefore I have decided to stop the
light, draw the oelt' as Alderman
Hotchkiss called it, November lst, and
let the consequence be what 1t will. Ii
Alderman Alley has control of the city
council and don't care for such request
as was made by the taxpayers, / will re-
sign as alderman, cease to become citi-
zen of jamestown and go back to Wis

These Want Light.

The following petition asking that the
electric light contract which existed dur.
ing the past year be extended one year,
will be presented at the next meeting of
the city council. The character Of the
signers Of the petition. will be seen at a
glance. They are all taxpayers and COM
blned they pay over half the real estate
and two-thirds of the personal tax of the
city. The petition is an unmistakeable
indication that the taxpayers want cleo
trio lighting. The petition reads as fol-
lows:
To the honorable, the City Council OF
the city of Jamestown:
Gentlemen:-Th undersigned, citizens
and taxpayers of the city OF jamestown,
respectfully petition: That a certain
contract made between the city ofJames-
town and the jamestown Electric Light
company, dated June 1889 and expiring

Ran before any sheep can be shipped
from these counties. 1t is particularly
unfortunate that this county should
come under this proclamation. It is not
believed that there is single case of
scab in the county among sheep now
here, or that have been brought here.
The whole trouble comes from the fact
that portion of j. Dawson Thompson's g
sheep, which have been kept in Kidder
county all summer and which have the
scab to some extent, were driven to Me-
dina station in the western part Of this
county and shipped east by rail. 1t is
said that the sheep were sent to Wiscon-
sin, and their condition becoming known
there, the governor of that state demand
ed that quarantine, be had on all others
from the locality where the diseased ami
mails came from, and Governor Mlller's
action is the result. While farmers will
closely watch their 1iocks to prevent the
possible contagion and spread of tho
trouble, it is not believed that any danger
exists in any other place in the county
than where the animals above mentioned
may have reen for a short time. The
following is the proclamation:
State of North Dakota, executive de-
partment. Quarantine proclamation.
Whereas, Official notice has been
received from tbs state veterinary sur
