elected two delegates to the State Con-
~yention, to be held at Grand Forks on
the 10th, 18th and 18th of this month,
Mrs. w. B. Watson and Mrs. Ida G.
Beardsley. Readings on the Sunday
closing Of the Worlds Fair we're read
and discussed. Mr.. M. N. Johnson's
open letter to Hon. 81. P. Rucker, was
unanimously endorsed as a practical,
common sense and timely suggestion to
the commissioners. 1t was then moved
and seconded that the resolutions pre-
pared by Wilbur F. Crafts, and pub.
lished in the Chicago News, represent
the sentiment of our Bismarck union.
Resolved, That this meeting hereby
authorizes it's president and secretary to
sign and forward to Hon. II. P. Rucker,
y Worlds Fair Commissioner, the follow
ing petition:
1. We earnestly petition you to do
your best to close the Worlds Fair on
the Sabbath, in accordance with the law
of God, the rights of man, and the
precedents of our American history.
Z. We also petition you to do your
part to prevent our nation from becom-
ing Il rum seller to the world, through
liquor selling at our National Columbian
Exposition.
A paper read by one of the members
was we'll received. The following is a
synopsis of the paper read:
"We read with sorrow the fact patent
to every reader Of the daily papers, that
if there is any good done in the world,
it is not published IN the papers that
supply the meat and drink Of the masses
of the people. The space is filled with
murders, suicides, epidemics, rapes,
divorces, swindles, confidence m n, etc.,
too numerous to mention.
"On the principle that like produces
like are not the apapers innocently re-
%,sponsibe for the seeming increase of hor-
rors that are nov filling the sheets of
respectable daily papers? Let US petit
ton that they take up the good land let
the bad sink into the %bottomless sea
where it belongs) and chant that til peo-
pie will say it is a pleasure to live in this
; nineteenth century. Let US place our
selves on record as being in hearty SYM
pathy with the manly u%tterances of Gov.
Burke, on enforcement of the laws.
Also, that we believe the blessing of
Divine Providence has followed, as a nat
ural sequence, the determined stand of
the people of our young commonwealth,
that she should come into the sisterhood
of states clothed IN the white robe of
prohibition, and that no lottery octopus
should crush out the independence of
the intelligent manhood of this atate,
with her tempting gold, at a time when
want and encouragement from drouths,
were the only visible supply for future,
What are the results of faith in God
in dark hours? The paper are telling
the good news of how many millions of
dollars will this year pass through the
hands of the farmer. Verify, the bless.
ing of God is a good investment, if il
pays off the mortgages.
"We would also like to call atten.
ton to the increased valuation OF real
estate in Iowa and Kansas in the past
ten years. The assessed valuation oil
Iowa real property has increased during
the past ten years nearly eighty million
dollars. This is better than Illinois has
done by nearly thirty millions, and bette,
than Indiana has done by nearly twenty,
five million. The immense crops of pro.
hibition Kansas sand 1.-The Dakotas, are
worthy of consideration.
Fittings do not come by chance. When
the people stand up for the good of hu.
manity, Their labor is not in vain in the
Lord"
