THE sTEENs.
These Clever People Still Mystifying
All Beholders.

All Beholders.
Mr.. and Mrs. Steen entertained an
other house last night with their mirac-
ulous display of trickery. That 10 what
they call it themselves; but they DEFY
anyone to unravel the mystery. The
communication between these two mas
ter jugglers is instantaneous and per-
feet. Mr.. Steen last night passed
through the audience, and as fast as he
could talk Mrs. Steen, blindfolded, on
the stage, 81 to 100 feet or more distant,
described every article presented
by any one in the audience. She told
time indicated on their face. She de-
scribed photographs, telling the color OF
the hair and the name of the person
represented, as well as the relation
borne TO the persons who had them.
She extended this line of description to
punches of keys, railroad passes, fans,
lockets, badges and trinkets of hun
dred varieties. She. exposed several of
the tricks OF so-called mediums, showing
how the tricks are played. The keenest
wits in the city are each night exercised in
trying to unravel the methods by which
this clever work is done, but as fast as a
theory is formed it dematerializes. The
work done by Bishop, Holmes Or any
one who exhibited his powers in this
city heretofore, is mere child's play as
compared with the performances of the
Steens. Tonight they will explain the
tricks OF the Dayenports.

The performances of Annie Abbott, as
witnessed at tha Encore theater last

seat and occupied all the standing room,
were indeed as wonderful as has been
claimed. She is small woman OF the

West Superior Wheat Grades.

The railroad commissioners and West
Superior delegation came in this morn
ing. The conference between the two
board of trade delegations was held in
the directors room of the First National
Bank. The nature of the conference
this morning was to find out from each
other what each of the parties interest
ed-North Dakota and West Superior
desired. Before the conference clos
ed there was we'll defined idea as to
what was desired-the question that
remains to be settled is how to proceed
so as to materialize that idea. To de-
termine this point as near as may be,
another conference has been arranged
by the railroad commissioners and del
egation from the boards of trade of
West Superior, Grand Forks and Far
go; this conference to be held in the
near future in Fargo or West Superior.
At 2o'clock this afternoon the West
Superior delegation and railroad COM
missioners left for Grand Forks on
special train to confer with the Grand
Forks board of trade.
Some of the observations made by the
representatives from West Superior
sound like sweet music to the ear of a
North Dakotan.
One gentleman declared that it was
North Dakota that first raised No. l
hard, that that distinctive grade had
never before been heard Of. That it is
worth from two to five cents per bushel
more than the wheat raised elsewhere.
yet in the past and present soft wheat
shipped from Nebraska, Iowa, South
Dakota and Southern Minnesota and
run in with this in the elevators-and
mixed wheat is balled No. / hard.
Their grade is improved and North Da-
kota's impaired and the value of theirs
increased and ours decreased by the
operation. The gentleman declared
that it was gross outrage and Unjust
ice. What should be done was to es-
UaUlloA q 4NOAtA DdhOL0 SAo0O tu0L
should be recognized in the markets of
the world, and they at West Superior
wanted to cooperate with DakotaDs in
bringing this about. He thought that
the idea of inspecting the grain at tho
points of exit in North Dakota might
not be practicable at present. but that
it would be practicable to have North
Dakota inspectors at the West Superb
or elevators, and they would abide by
their inspection down there. Further
more, they would willingly establish
facilities for handling North Dakota
wheat distinciyelJ. Now, they say
that for every car Of wheat that goes
over the bridge into Duluth, dollar or
a dollar and a half toll is imposed. This
would be saved by shipping to West
superior direct. Fargo Republican.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
A Woman Throws Herself Into the
Allen Print Works Pond.

An unknown woman attempted to commit
suicide last evening on Branch avenue. The
deed was attempted on that part Of the
avenue near the North End cemetery and
close to the Allen Print Works pond. AT
this point the bank on one side of the
roadway descends to the water which is
very deep in all parts.
The woman evidently passed on the
side next the pond, and, awaiting favor
able opportunity, threw herself down the
bank and second later struck the water.
Her actions were observed by young
man named Collins who, with three com
panions. CHANGED to be passing near. He
Immediately sprang to her aid and eventu-
ally brought her safely TO the shore.
1t was stated that the woman, who lives
in that neighborhood, had made previous
attempt on her life about one week ago.
AT that time she is said to have swallowed
enough paris green to kill an army, but
the magnitude of the dose was such as to
save her life.
After few moments, the woman re-
covered sufficiently to admit of her pro
ceeding to her home.

What seemed funny to the onlookers,
but decidedly the opposite to one other,
happened on Friday evening. A man came
out of a grocery store, carrying n large
paper bag filled with oats. Wishing to
go into store opposite, he set the bag of
oats on the steps of the store, where he
had just come out. Then he went out of

dropped out of the torn end. To further
report proceedings would be to shock

Mr.. Boucher had paid visit to his

The effect of the French strike at Pas de

AT the International Congress Of miners
which was held in Paris il was agreed TO
render pecuniary assistance TO the French
miners in case OF the strike, which was
then regarded as probable, and it was also
resolved to limit the output. In conse-
quence of this resolution the English
miners have now been asked to come to
the support of the French workers in the
same field
