The farmers legislature introduced
and pass the following resolution to
do away with the early adjournment
question. It is stroke Of economy:
Whereas, Ithas been reported that
certain members Of the house believe
the legislative assembly should adj
5ourn at an early date, and
Whereas, Each member is required
to take an oath faithfully to perform
his duties as . member during the en-
tire session; now, therefore, to, re-
lieve any members Of this house from
blame or embarrassment, be it
Resolved, That any member be-
lieving he should not receive pay
during the late adjournment, be not
required tG take the same;
Resolved, further, that any mem

A telegram to the Argus, dated
January 13, says that a number of
women aided by a couple of men,
bearing axes, augurs, crowbars ETC.,
entered the town of Hatton, in Steele
or Traill county, and entered the sa-
looms Of that place, smashing up the
furniture and fixtures, and generally
"doing up" the contents of the build
ing. The telegram is highly colored
andis signed &C. M. H." which we
take for granted is the gentleman who
favored Cooperstown with his pres
ence for a few weeks. If the tele-
gram is authentic we claim that
women who will undertake the busi-
ness of smashing up other peoples
property, ought to be confined in a
lunatic asylum. They have no right
to take matters into their own hands.
Ifthey have any grievances let them
place them before the proper authori-
ties. This rioting lscarrying matters
"a little too far.

Early in the field, and among the
very best Of the months magazines,
comes Peterson" for February. Ev-
cry lady should see its beautiful steel
and wood engravings and its colored
fashion plate, which is really an artis-
tic picture. "Rescued by Clusters
men," by Anna Latham, is thrilling
incident Of the dashing general and
his brave band, told in very dra-
matte fashion. The serial by How
ard Seely is full of action, and it is
interesting to compare its descrip-
.tions of American frontier life with
the accounts of Partisan society in
Mrs. Lucy H. Hooper's admirable
novelet, ga Magnificent Marriage"
The short stories, miscellaneous arti
cles and poems are all worthy of the
highest praise. No household should
be without peterson for it always
offers a varied and attractive table of
contents, and at a price which brings
it within everybody's reach. Terms,
$500 a year. Address, Peterson's
Magazine, Philadelphia.

House bilI151, introduced in the
legislature provides for the protec-
ton of boarding houses. hotels and
restaurants, aud makes it unlawful to
receive board and lodging without
paying for it in advance. For viola
ton of this law it prescribes fine and
imprisonment. If this law passes it
will make the boys hustle to pay in
advance. The question now arises,
what are those fellows going to do
who have not got the money to pay
in advance? Have good honest fel.
lows who happen to be short got to
starve because they do not happen
to have the: money necessary to pay
in advance?

Montana's four. senators-two
democrats and two repubicans-are
now in Washington awaiting the final
decision of congress as to which two
are entitled to seats. 1t is to be
hoped that thorough investigation
will be made and that the gentlemen
entitled to seats will get them, wheth-
er they be democrats or republicans.
This deplorable state Of affairs has
given Montana quite a set back in
state legislation.

The official announcement of the
appointment of Editor Small, of Cas-

came out in Tuesdays Argus. While

there is nothing small about US, and
we extend hearty congratulations to
the Casselton editor. A newspaper
man may not get to heaven but they
seem to be great on getting post
offices.

CORPUS CHRISTI.
The Celebration of The Holy Sacrament
Will BE Held Sunday.

The Celebration of the Holy Sacrament
Will BE Held on Sunday.
Yesterday was Corpus Christi. one Of the
most strictly observed holidays of the
Roman Catholic Church. Next to Christ
mas and Easter Sunday the day stands
first in the reverence of the faith. The
significance of the Latin phrase is the
Body of Christ" OF, more plainly speak
ing, the celebration and commemoration of
the Holy Eucharist or Communion.
The day was not extensively observed
yesterday, although the usual morning
masses were attended by more than the
usual number of the faithful. The celebra-
tion proper of the day will be held on Sun
day next in all the Catholic churches with
the solemnity and grandeur of the occasion,
Crowds Of young children will precede
the priests. who will carry to the chancel
the cruclhx and the holy water. Each of
the little children will carry baskets filled
with rare flowers. which they will scatter
before the officers of the mass. Some
pretty costumes will be worn by the chill
dren, number having been expressly de-
signed to represent the garbs of the chill
dren Of the time of Christ.
AT st. Mary's, ST. Patrick's, st. Ignatius',
st. Johns, st. Francis, the Sacred Heart
st. Brendan's. ST. Bridget's, ST. Roses and
all the other churches of the diocese the
late mass at 80 o'clock will be celebrated
in great splendor. The choirs will be re-
enforced, and the choicest music Of the
composers of note will be sung
Large donations of rare flowers have nj
ready been sent to the various churches to
decorate the altars. At San Rafael, Peta-
luna, San Jose and elsewhere the same i'm
preSSiYe services will be held.

Ever since the lockout occurred In Portland,

OF the eight-hour movement, there has been con-
siderable interest manifested among local trades

assistance. The labor unions responded gene r.

losing prestige every day, and members are leaving
It's ranks daily. ANY kilograms to the coltrary

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Mr.. Wilson Barrett's Special Night
A Notable Programme.

Mr.. Barrett, at the Baldwin last evening gave
the audience three distinct examples of his power
OF Observation-Disclosures mser in what its au-
thor, S. Weir Mitchell. calls a Fantasy; as a
vicar Of the Church OF England in Arthur Jones'
"a Clerical Error" and as the marvellous boy
poet, Thomas Chatterton, in Jones-Herman
sketch with that title. 1t was most Interesting
evening. save that the fret aud third pieces were
somewhat grewsOme In their tone, but at the
same time, as artistic pictures, simply admirable.
In skillful makeup, and most intelligent and
careful acting, Mr.. Barrett lost himself CON-
pletely in the characters he assumed; he
was to a remarkable degree "thething he
seemed" and carried the audience with him
through the repuisiye features as well as the
more attractive ones of his different roles with
lcal Error" as we'll as the third. also gave Mr.
George Barrett an opportunity for some excel
lent acting, OF which he avaied himself fully.
AS Perry, the confidential butler to the vicar and
with more respect for his wine-cellar especially
the "forty sewing port" than for his master, he
gave faithful portrait Of an INSCRIPTIONS En-
glish butler taking advantage OF the easy-goDg,
good -natured parSoD, and the audience laughed
TILL their sides were sore at Its quaint truthful
ness. Equally artistic was lie as Nat B0wden in
The ChatteTton sketch-a painter who had all the
ambition at one time that belongs to youth and
hope, but who had become drunken sot, with
"DOn't know, don't care" 1t will be an evening
always 10 be recalled when we speak OF the Bar
rett brothers anu their fine hstrionic acquire
ments. Tonight and Saturday matinee Will be
The last performances OF " Ben My -ChTee"-a

The Saratoga Meeting Adjourns to Meet

The SARATOGA Meeting Adjourns to Meet at
San Francisco.
SARATOGA, June 5.-There was an increased
attendance at the sessions OF the American
Home Missionary Society to-day.
The opening hour was devoted to the Ameri-
can Congregational Union. Addresses we're
made by Rev. DR.. Mclean of Cali
forna, Rev. George Bond of Boston,
Rev A. E. Winship OF Boston, aud
Rev. DIR. Hawes of Burlington, VT. Among the
many points presented were the fol
lowing: In Southern California surprising
improvement In the condition OF society
has occurred within five years, owing TO
the immigration from the better
elements Of Eastern society. The improvement
shows Itself in Increased sobriety, church at
ten dance, observance of the Sabbath, better
ho mes, etc But for the home missionary money
aud zeal The experience OF old California days
would doubtless have been repeated.
The society adjourned Tonight TO meet at San
Francisco next year, providing satisfactory rates
for transportation can be secured.
The following officers were elected for the
coming year: President, Julius II. Seelye OF Am
herst College; Recording Secretary, Rev. Will
lam Holman OF Connecticut.
The annual financial report as submitted
shows That though the society began
the year with debt of $4,000, 1t closes
the year free from debt. The society
asks for $3.50, 900 gifts from churches during the
coming year, and has made appropriations on
that basis.
