A GOOD SELECTION.
The Nomination of Ex-Governor Foste

The Nomination of Ex-Governor Foster
Satisfactory to the Republicans.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The nomination
of ex. Governor Foster, of Ohio, to be Sec
retary of the treasury, which was sent to
the senate to-day, was favorabiy received
about the capitol and it was very highly
commended by men best acquainted with
the new secretary. He is, it is said, thor
oughly IN accord with the presidents
financial policy and conservative man
whose opinion is favorable to sound,
stable currency. Republicans generally
expressed themselves as well satisfied with
the presidents selection, and those demo-
Gratis who were seen said they had nothing
to say against it, conceding that the presi-
dent had the right to select advisors, how
ever, in accord with his policy.

The A micted Family.

AS most of the RECORD readers doubtless
already know, our fellow-settler, Mr.. S. A
Hawks. has met with further loss. The
first death was that OF the baby boy named
Daniel Floyd, born Nov. 18, 1890; died
Tuesday night, Feb. II, at 9:2O O'clock.
Next to 20 was little John, Steve's favorite,
born Sept. 1S, 1889; died Wednesday morn
ing, Feb. 18. at 1O:3O Then The devoted
mother passed away, dying on Thursday
morning, Feb. 10. at Z O'clock. Mrs
Hawks was born in Grayson county, Va.
on Sept. %, 1851. Her maiden name was
Bette Moore. From the time she came
with her husband and children to live in
this neighborhood, she was known as a
hard-working wife and mother, caring
nothing for anything that tended. to take
her time and attention away from her hus-
band and little ones. Although having so
large family of small children, she was
never too tired or too busy to care for them
with all that tenderness and affection
which only a mother can possess. She
passed away and left them; but in the land
where there is no sickness or sorrow she
Will await their coming. And who shall
say that her spirit does not now see them,
and that it will not watch over them
through life?
The remaining children are James John
son, aged II years; Conley Washington
aged 9 years; Joseph Martin, aged years
and Edna Ethel, aged 4 years. They are
improving, and are considered to be out of
danger. AS soon as the children are well
Mr.. Hawks will move back to the claim
The funeral Of the mother and babies
took place on the homestead of the family
last Friday afternoon, at o'clock, Mr..
John Kurtz conducting the services.
Mr. Hawks desires the RECORD to thank
the Emmons county people in Bismarck
for their many kindnesses to him in his
late affliction, and to the others in the home
neighb0rhood who were 80 kind to him.

A city at tho Bottom OF the Sea.

The city authorities of Rovigno. on
the peninsula OF Istria. in the Adriatic
Sea. have discovered little south OF
the peninsula the ruins OF large town
ut tho bottom OF the sea. II has been
observed for some years That Usher
mems nets were sometimes cntangled
in what appeared To be masses Of
masonry. OF which fragments were
brought up from the sea bed. A year
or two ago diver declared that he
had seen walls and streets below the
water.
The city authorities recently decided
90 investigate. They sent down
diver who. at the depth of cighty-fvc
feet, found himself surrounded on the
bottom OF the sea by ruined walls. Ho
says lac knows they were the work of
man. He Is n builder by trade and ho
recognized the layers OF mortar.
Continuing his explorations. he
traced the lino OF walls and was abo
TO distinguish how the streets were
laid out. He did not see any doors or,
window openings. for they were hid
den by MASSES OF seaweed aud incrus-
tations. He traced the masonry for %
distance OF 100 feet. where he had TO
stop, as his diving cord did not permit
him TO 90 further. He had proved
beyond doubt that he had found the
ruins of once inhabited town. which,
through some catastrophe. had been
sunk TO the bottom OF the sea.
Some people think that they identify
this lost town with tho island men,
toned by Piny the Elder under the
name Of Cissa. near Istria. This
island cannot be found now. and Il Is
thought the submerged town may have
been settlement on the island that SO
mystcrlously disappeared. IN Y. Sun.

Military copscrIp,lon In Germany.

Military CONSUMPTION Is being en-
forced In Germany with more than
usual stringcucy. and the socialist
leaders are deuouncing the system.
A Cologne correspondent Of the Lon
don Nctcs says II Is "A pitiful spectacle to
sec the squads of German conscripts Mt
the various stations awaiting enforced
transportation from home aud friends.
They look more like conyicts on the
way TO Jail than recruits for the army
of the empire. aud as they are sur
rounded by throngs Of weeping aud
wailing relatives the cruelty Of the
system forces itself on the mind OF the
observer. just now these couscripts
are being driven 10 tho military depots
In droyes from all parts of Germany.
aud sadness reigns Ia every village aud
hamlet.
