its comparative nearheSS to important
markets for gram and stock. Fargo, the
principal city of the state, is only 250
miles from Duluth, at the head of Lake

from st. Paul and Minneapolis. The

at the stock yards of the Twin Cities of
Minnesota and in the larger yards of
Chicago. 70 make the comparison

may be said that the farmers of North

are the farmers of Western New York

A CONFIDING CLERK,
DIAMONDS AND WATCHES STOL-
EN- FROM UNDER HIS EYES.
How a Brazen Thief Worked Hertz
Berg's Clerk and Escapes With
His Stolen Wealth.

Four beautiful solitaire diamond
rings and four costly gold watches,
amounting in all to fully $500, is the
loss sustained by Mr.. E. Hertzberg,
the West Commerce street jeweler,
yesterday afternoon. This is the way
it came about.
A stranger, neatly dressed, With
sincere expression. smooth, meek and
pleasing, entered Hertzberg's store, q
few minutes after five o'clock yester-
day afternoon. Mr.. Ed. d. Thomas,
who is in charge of the store, Mr..
Hertzberg being out of town, waited
upon the stranger, and four solitaire
watches were selected. The
stranger could not decide which he
would take, and he hopelessly ex-
planned his case to the clerk, saying
that they were wanted for his mother,
who is an invalid, and that he would
like to show them to her, so that she
could chose. The clerk firmly denied
the request. The unsophisticated
stranger. however, did not dream of
taking them alone, he wanted the
clerk to take them to the mother.
To this the clerk consented, and they
drove to the house, where the invalid
mother was supposed to live, which
was at 25 San Pedro avenue. The
ride was made in q one horse buggy.
When the clerk and prospective
buyer reached the house, there was
no place to tie the horse, and the
stranger, in the most innocent man.
ner, asked the clerk to hold the horse,
while he would show the articles to
his invalid mother. At first the clerk
refused, and then, after q few en-
treaties. con sented, and gave over to
the stranger, the diamonds and gold
watches. He disappeared within
the door, and after remaining
there an unusually long time, the
terrible realization that he had been
probab ly robbed of the diamonds and
watches, struck the clerk and he
dashed into the house to investigate
the matter. He inquired and learned
that the stranger, who had no in
valid mother about the place, had
just left by the rear door. Then the
search for the confidence man began.
The police were notified and the out
going l. & G. NJ, nOrthbound train
was carefully watched for the
stranger, who is described as of me.

years of age, and blue eyed blonde.

false name of B. Belleby being given.
The police are still on the look out
for the party, who it is thought, is
probably In concealment in the city.
The lady st whose house the man
was stopping had not learned his
name. Mr.. Hertzberg who is in RocK-
port, has been informed of his loss.

WHERE WOMEN VOTE.

The Present Status OF Female
Suffrage Thought the World.
The Hartford Conn Times prints
synopsis ola pamphlet by Hamilton
Wilcox, ofNew York, entitled Gree
dom's Conquests," which, revised to
date, gives the present status of wo.
man suffrage throughout the world,
showing over 100 regions where it
exists In America, Europe, Africa,
Asia and Oceanica. Probably very few
people suppose there is spot in Atri.
ca where women have even limited
suffrage, but under the Govern
ment of the Cape of Good Hope,
which rules several hundred thousand
square Iniles of territory, women have
municipal suffrage. In New Zealand
women have municipal and school
suffrage, and the Legislature has re.
solved that they shall vote for men,
bers of Parliament. Women also vote
in Victoria, New South Wales,
Queensland, South Australia and
West Australia. In Pitcairn Island
(South Pacific women have voted
about hundred years. They have
full suffrage there But the island
doesn't amount to hill OF beans In
the little Isle of Man, on the Op.
posite side OF the globe, with about
$4,000 people, women have been vot-
ing five years. In England, Scotland
and Wales single women vote for all
elective. Officers, excepting members
of Parliament, and will very likely
soon have that vote also. In Ireland
women vote everywhere for poor. law
guardians, and in some of the seaports
for harbor boards. In Belfast they
vote for all municipal officers. In
France women teacher vote every
where for women members of boards
of education. In Sweden they vote
about as In Britain, and in.
directly for mem bers of the
House of Lords. In Norway they
have school suffrage, and in Russia,
women heads of households vote for
all elective officers, and on all local
questions. In Austria Hungary they
vote (by proxy at all elections, in
Guiding members of provincial and
imperial parliaments. In Crotia and
Dalmatla they vote at local elections
in person. In Italy, widows vote (by
proxy for members of parliament

they vote for all elective offices. In
