Fro II TUESDAYS Daily.

Nt'NS -
Nothing of interest was transacted by
the court Monday before noon. VIM.
Kelly was arraIgned for sentence, the petit
jury having returned a verdict of guilty
early Sunday mrning. Ills attorney,
Louis Ianitcl, asked that sentence be
suspended until afternoon, which request
the court granted. In the afternoon the
grand jury made their report and were
discharged. The first Indictment rendered
by the grand jury was against John a.
Fisher, Of Ard"ch, for sending obscene
matter through the United States mail. A!
similar charge was returned against John
Mcl4ain, of Grafton. Mr.. McLain was not
present in person, but was represented by
his father. Neither of tine defendants had
an attorney. The court appointed ID. W.
lorkcy. Of Grafton, tor the former and
Judge Francis, of Bismarck, for the latter.
Mr.. lOrkey consulted his client and a plea
OF guilty was entered to the Indictment.
The court, in passing sentence. gave some
sound advice ami made the sentence light,
as it was the first otfrnsc and the defend
ant stated he did not know, at the time the
crime. In the latter case a plea of guilty
was entered by the counsel. and a fine of
500 imposed in both cases. which were
paid and defendants dismissed.
VIM. Il. Schwendle of Grafton was in
dicted for the unlawful sale of liquor. The
case was continued to the Fargo term.
Kelly wa arraigned and sentence pro-
nounccd by the court, of $3.50 or confne-
ment in the Burlrigh county Jail unit. said
fine was paid: The jury in their verdict
recommended mercy more on account Of
the wife than of the defendant. Accord
ing to the statute in this case. at the cXpira-
ton of thirty days the prisoner can be re-
leased on taking an oath that he has no
money with which to pay the fine. All
cases being dis posed OF, court adjourned

S. l.. Glaspell, of jamestown, appeared for

Regarding Credits and In
debtednesS.

Opinion Regarding Taxation.

At the request of the governor, for the
benefit of assessors and others, the attor-
ney-general Thursday gave the following
opinion regarding section Is, chapter 1872,
laws of 1890:
Under said section. any person, firm or
corporation may deduct from the gross
amount of his credits all bona tide indebt-
edness of himself, firm or corporation,
and be assessed upon the balance; and
every person, firm or corporation claiming
said Indebtedness must furnish the asses
sor with an itemized list containing:
First. The amount of all notes and
book accounts due to him; and, second, the
amount of all notes and book accounts ow-
ing by him; said list to be verified or sworn
to by him before the assessor. The above
does not apply to banks, but TO all others.
Now, there would be no difficulty with
said section if it stopped here; but the fol
lowing prOvisO is the cause of trouble:
Said proviso is, in substance, that any per-
full mount of personal property to be
listed may deduct from the gross amount
any indebtedness Of himself, firm or cor
poration, if said evidence of indebtedness
is owned or held within this state. IT the
notes or accounts agains: him are held or
owned outside of this state, then they can
not be deducted from his assessment.
Now the difficulty with the assessors
is this: They, in some cases, first deduct
a mans indebtedness from his credits;
then again, under the proviso, they de-
duct his whole Indebtedness from the
gross assessment. making thereby a double
deduction OF Indebtedness. For example:
A has credits to the amount of 81, 800; he
owes$ $1,000; leaving $500 liable to assess
ment. Then, under the prOvlSO, they Il
the 81: 900 again from his total personal
property assessment, thus deducting $4,000
instead OF 81 900.
"This must not be done. When the de-
ductiOn is made under the proviso, allow
ance should be made for the deduction
from credits, SO that a double deduction
will not be made"
He also decides that assessments must be
made under the old Law of 1890, and not
under the law passed by the recent leg.
jslature, as the law of 1891 failed to carry
the emergency clause with it,"

,one OF the villagers fsncied he could see
at the window Of the Mill, some one waiy-
Ing an arm with despairing gestures; but
others said he must be mistaken, rs job
and Zeph Heston had left the Mill long
since. But presently some one saw the
face and recognized lima Costello.
Alone In that awful prison, death rising
TO her foot by foot--llma knelt aud tried
to pray; but her heart would cling to him
whose face she would see no more. Death
had lost all terror; she saw herself whirled
away in the boiling Hood, and she did not
shudder at the picture. Roland was for
gotten. But Philip, who would die for
her-oh, IL no should yet hear of her fate
and strive TO reach herr She cried aloud
In the anguish OF that fear, and before
the echo OF that cry had died away she had
sprung TO her feet, and her heart seemed

Cling with the angry waters.

CHAPTER Ali.


With spring like n panther, Darrell
was upon the would-be murderer; and 10
swift and SO sure was the nerce blow Of
tho dubbed pistol that without cry or
groan the wretched man fell with q crash
TO the fosr and lay motionless.
Darrell turned, the pistol fell from his
hand, and his foot was on the I.dder-like
stairs that led up the next floor, when a
white garment futtered through the gloom
above.
"PhilipV--and In another moment IL
ma had thrown herself into her lovers
open arms.
Voiceless, fearless, was that wild, close
embrace at the awful gate of eternity,
that agony OF JOY, that agony Of woe, lip
o lip, heart TO heart, once more for the
ast time. What years OF anguish she had
seemed to pass through while she waited
and waited in the darkness Of dread, and
knew not whether he had been swept down
the rushing stream to fearful death! And
now they had met, and her prayer at least
was auswered-he might die with her,
If he could not save her.
For two minutes all was forgotten in
their wild rapture, aud then Darrell spoke
hurr.edly-
"Ilma, there is still hope; will not
despair till Deaths hand is upon us.
Come with me-"
There was no hope in Ilma's dark eyes,
which were raised to her lovers face; but

FACTS ABOUT ICE.
How Scientists Explain Enigmas Con-
corning CONCEALED Water.

corning CONCEALED Water.
Did you ever wonder that ice, being
formed of CONCEALED water, floats? asks
a writer in the St. Louis Republic.
And why on some still lakes, it begins
to form at the bottom before it ices on
the surface? Scientists explain these
enigmas this wise: Ice is specifically
lighter than water just about to freeze
and, therefore. floats in it. This is
one reason why the formation of ice
usually begins at the surface. An
other is its peculiar law OF expansion.
The general law is that cold induces
expansions; this law holds good with
water only to a certain point. When
water has cooled down to within IA
degrees of freezing it ceases to con-
tract as before with increase OF cold
and begins to expand till it freezes.
This expansion causes the colder
portions Of the water to rise TO the
surface. The formation Of ground
ice" or 'anchor ice. +" as it is some
times called, is the only exception TO
the rule given above. The whole body
of water is at the same time cooled TO
below the freezing point, ana the SUD-
stances at the bottom, the stones and
gravel of the river or lake bed, serve
as . point Of congelation or crystalli-
zation for the water. Ground ice may
be the lowest stratum Of the once
completely frozen mass OF water, re-
tanned at the bottom by the natural
cohesion TO the rough substances Of
the river-bed. during the thawing and
melting OF the ice on the surface; or
it may even be formed under favorable
conditions beneath briskly flowing wa
ter probably by the action OF eddies,
which draws the surface water down
through the warmer but denser liquid.
thus cooling the rocks at the bottom,
forming a base for its formation. This
remarkable species of ice usually gath
ers on a clear. cold night when the
surface Of the water is not frozen.

Black lace promises to become very
modish, worn over colored material
In my initial cut l set before
you a sample of the very styl-
ish tailor mades to be worn this
season, made up with cutaway basques,
double pelerine taking the place of
the towering shoulders, the bottom of
the skirt being ornamented in the same
style. The corsage has revers running
to point at the waist, and the round
front is set off by small band cut on
the cross. The rear breadth has fan
pleats.
Velvet ribbon will continue to be
favorlte garniture for woolens, as il
will also for interior toilets, such as
fourlards and other thin silks. In some
cases / see it used only as garniture
for the corsage, outlining the armholes
and starting from the back and pass
ing around the figure under the arms
and crossing in front, where it is held
in place by an old silver bucket Then
again it is applied with lavish hand,
as shown in my second illustration,
producing beautiful effects, provided
there be n complete harmony or
artistic contrast between its color
and the material upon which it is APP
piled. Another very artistic applica-
tion of velvet ribbon as garniture
which attracted my attention was a
half mourning dress for a young per-
son, n white batiste with black figures,
made up with deep ffounce headed by
black velvet ribbon, which also served
as trim ning. brace style, having a bow
at the waist and long ends and bow

After all, it's n great consolation 10

if il does enable MS TO wear those gauzy
and cobwebby textures so

possibilities of darts, cores, bias and
bones, welcomes the coming of those
clear, crisp autumn days, with their
crystal atmosphere, so admirabl

all the graceful lines of a perfectly fit

few women succeed in dressing with

the very moment they step upon the

discovers that something as lacking in

or to violate that first canon of The
true art of personal adornment. to wit:
That that which is out of style must
be out of place, inasmuch as the
particular charm of fashion is that it is

every one SAYS must be true eXemplifies
this principle, This may be para
phrased as follows: What every one
