Mrs. Terhune also declared that in associa-
ton and in the forming of women's clubs for
mutual improvement lay the true secret Of
building up a character equal to the intel
lectual and practical demands of domestic
life. What kind Of a wife" she asked, "can

The delegates in attendance were in no
sense Of the word either husband hunters or
suffragists. But they recognize the possibili-
ties and duties of life, and it is their sincere
and praiseworthy desire so to equip them
selves mentally that the opportunities of the
future shall not find them unprepared to fill
their destined roles either as working women,
wives or voters.
The meeting at the Metropolitan Opera
house differed FROM a convention of men in
several respects. The reading of papers was
carefully listened to, only an occasional hum
of satisfaction or ripple Of applause accentu-
ating the silence of the audience. The pre-
siding officer did not have to rap with her
gavel once to bring the delegate from Blank
vile to order, and her pretty subordinates,
the sergeantsat-arms who clustered about
the entrance door, unlike men who hold the
same positions, had no one to warn to quit
smoking and none to eject for drunken ot~
streperousness. Instead, they huttered
around to find seating accommodations for
visitors and showed themselves to be bright,
busy, cheerful and just d little bit impressed
with the Importance of their office. In SO far
as their duties related to the preservation Of
the peace they had a sinecure.

A Useless Expense.

passed by the last legislature abolishing
the grand jury, except upon a special petit

ing them much good outin Burleigh county.
AS soon as the session of the district court
approached, a few persons took it upon
themselves to hustle around with a petit
ton for a grand jury, and soon
secured the requisite twenty-five names.
1t is a. question whether this
will not be the regular thing in the major
ity Of counties. At each sitting of the
court there will always be some persons
who will consider it of advantage to their
personal interests in some way to have a
grand jury. And as a general thing it is
not a difficult matter to secure twenty-five
signatures to a petition, nc matter what
the petition may be for. Would it not be
wise. for the next assembly to raise the
number of signatures necessary to fifty ?

animated by one common purpose-the bet

1t was in no sense a gathering of "cranks"
or PERFORMERS" Those present had no quar-
rel to make with capital or employers. They
simply met to consult regarding the best
means Of utilizing their wages and experience
for the common good. Various ideas were
presented, some Numerically opposed to 9TH
ers; but along one particular line the thoughts
of all ran smoothly and in concord. That
was the line of domestic happiness, of home,
of family. This portion of Miss Dodge's open
ing address, for example, was received with
rapturous applause:
"When the convention closes we hope also
to organize a B. w. and NJ. branch for the
young brides, wives and mothers who were
formerly club members. And when we have
the wives, mothers and babies all enrolled we
shall hope still further that the brothers and
young husbands shall unite and cooperate
with US in developing means for self culture
and a higher life"
And this portion of Mrs. Terhune's address
also secured the heartiest approval:

was to the drowned old world. All men who

The Stewart Fire.
from FRIDAYS Daily 16th,1

Mrs. M. E. Stewards two story frame
building on upper First street, so long and
popularity known as the Stewart boarding
house, is now a mass of charred and
water-soaked ruins. The rear portion of
the building is entirely burned away. The
grand squate piano stands in the parlOr
and the organ in the dining room, water
soaked and ruined. They can never be
placed in repair for musical purposes
again. The luxurious upholstery remains
precisely as when the household retired
for the night, charred. waterlogged and
utterly valueless. Hardly a single article
was saved. The fire was so sudden and
the t1amess pread so rapidly that the in
mates had barely time to escape with SUIT
ficient clothing to protect themselves from
me chilly, morning atmosphere. Messrs.

Reade, who slept upstairs IN the
western part, was awakened by the
cracking of flames in n corner of the
room. he jumped out of bed, hastily
grabbed a bundle of his clothes, reused the
sleeping inmates of other rooms and start
ed downstairs to sound the fire alarm,
but the alarm had already been given by Po-
llceman Marsh, who first discovered the
blaze. The flames had already made great
Roadway when the tiremen arrived on the
scene, but in a short time two streams
were playing on the blazing structure and
the fire laddies finally succeeded in saving
the house from total destruction.

1t has come to the notice of this depart
ment that some of the newspapers of the
state are setting the insurance statements
in pearl type instead of nonpareil, and are
not figuring the half legal rate on nonpa-
reil basis as required by law. Ii legal no
tices are set in any other thar %nonparcil
type. such type must be reduced to nonpa-
reil basis. For instance in an inch of
space there are IL lines of nonpareil, and
III a line 26 ems, making 312 ems in an
inch. In pearl type there are l5 lines to
the inch, 30 ems in a line or 48O ems in an
lnch-over 30 per cent. more of pearl than
%nonpareil. Atfidavits to be accepted by
this office must be for the full amount al

Experience with a Tramp.

Aouncks experience with a Tramp.
1t is related that Landlord Youpck of
Mandan had a novel experience with a
tramp Saturday. At breakfast a big, burly,
seedy looking individual sauntered into
Younck's hote! and asked if breakfast was
ready. Being Informed that it was the
stranger went into the dining room and
ate his fill. Coming out he said:
"Well, Pm ready"
"Ready for what ?" asked Younck, smil-
ing, thinking possibly the stranger was
some one whom he might have known in
days gone by.
"Ready to be kicked out; I've got no
money"
Still Younck didn't appreciate the situa-
ton.
"Well," said the stranger, "if YOU don't
want to do it, I'll CO." aid he went.
There were a number of persons present
at the time and after the tramp had left
JOked YOunck about it. The good natured
German thought the matter over and the
more ne thought about it the madden he
got. Finally he Went out IN the street,
TO LOOK tor the stranger. Meeting Bingin:
heimer he described the clever individual
who had done him up for a breakfast, and
asked II such a person had been seen. He
had. He was at that time only a short dis
lance away. Younck started in pursuit,
and overtaking him said:
Did you mean that
Eyes, if you was able 1 meant it,"
Younck gave a bound at the fellow, and
although much smaller in statue soon laid
him out-a very much used up individual.
Y0unck was then arrested charged with
assault with a "billie" or something of that
sort, and after giving bail returned to his
hotel, where at last accounts he was in
deep meditation on the problem of how
best to deal with tramps.

CRUEL RUSSIANS.
A Man who Rose From His Conn
TransfIxed With Holy stakes.

A Man who Rose From His C0hin
Transfixed With Holy stakes.
st. Petersburg Cor. San Francisco Chronicle
A very lurid light has Just been
thrown upon the life and superstl-
tons of the Russian peasantry by the
preparation of a gruesOme crime in
the name of what they take to be
Christianity.
A rich, popular farmer died rather
suddenly in the village OF Sooroffsky.
He had been seen in the enjoyment of
excellent health on Thursday, and
was found dead in bed Friday morn
ing. He was prayed for, after which
he was carried to his grave. Almost
all the Inhabitants of the village, in
elusive of the priest, followed him to
the church yard.
Just as the body was being lowered,
the lid, which had been fastened rath-
or loosely with wooden nails, began
to rise up slowly and detach itself
from the coffin, to the indescribable
horror of the friends and mourners of
the deceased. Then the dead man
was seen in his white shroud stretch
ing his arms upward and sitting up.
At this sight the grave-diggers let
90 the cords and, along with the by
ISLANDERS, fled in terror from the spot.
The supposed corpse then arose,
scrambled out of the grave and, shiv-
ering from the cold the mercury was
% below zero, made for the village
as fast as his feebleness allowed him.
But the villagers had barred and
bolted themselves in against the
wizard" and no one made answer
to the appeals he made with chatter
ing teeth to be admitted and SO,
blue, breathless and trembling, he
ran from hut to hut like rat in a
burning room seeking some escape
from death. At last fortune seemed
to favor him, and he CHANGED on a
hut the inmate of which was an old
woman.
Meanwhile the peasants gathered
together, armed themselves with
poles and stakes Ofaspen wood, the
only etfectual weapons in fight
with a wizard" and surrounded the
cabin.
The miserable man, daZed by all
that had happend that morning and
suffering from cold and hunger, was
soon overpowered, and his neigh bors,
with many pious CALCULATIONS, trans
fixed him, though alive with holy
aspen stakes to the ground in court
before the hut.
