New Dances.

New York Times.
Every Year new dances are
brought out, this having been an
exceptionally prolific season in
these novelties. The "Harvard
GavOtte." "La Petite. Pavane," the
~llel Monte" the "ManitOu," the
@LenOX Mfnuet" the 1CarlyIe"-
these are all new this year. OF the
list the "Harvard Gavotten. has
found tn" most favor. There is in
1t a pretty combination of the glide
and draw step, and the movement
of marcAing in a circle, for which
it also calls, is always effective and
attractive.
"Blind Lawn Tennis" is one Of
the new tigareS for the German.
The leading lady chooses four gen
tlemen and che leader four ladies,
The leader and partner then hold
up, a light screen or banner of col
Ored muslin, and the four ladies,
who are numbered, toss over in
turn a ball to the gentlemen on the
other side. The first man who
catches it dances with No. of the
ladies, the second with No. ,, and
so on, When all the ladies are pro-
Vided with partners and dancing,
the leader and his partner dance
together, leaving a lone man to
take his seat.
The "Buttertly" is a pretty and
fresh figure. Gay paper butter
flies, light enough 10 float i'm the
air, are set in motion through the
room. They are of different colors,
and the ladies taking part in the
figure wear each a bit Of ribbon or
a duplicate smaller butterfly
matching some one of the floating
ones in color. The gentlemen catch
the tluttcring things, each dancing
with the lady wearing a color cor
responding to his captured butter
fly. This and the following figure
are best adapted for large COM
panicS.
The "TOy Gun" is an amusing
figure. The ladies are provided
with toy guns loaded with bits of
chalk. With this ammunition
they fire at the gentlemen with
whom they will dance. AS, how
ever, each markSwOman must dance
with the man she stamps with her
chalk bullet, the partners are not
always the expected ones.

Sunfower Seeds for Food.

New York Ledger.
Some cnterpriSing individual,
had suggested the use of SunflOwel
seeds, and we are to have cOnfec,
lions and various other articles OF
diet made from these seeds which
have heretofore been grown partly
for the feeding of poultry, but the
poultry, as a rule, got far less than
the mice, for if there is anything
in the wide world that a mouse
absolutely dOtes on, not excepting
cheese, it is suntlOwer seeds. 1t is
almost out of the question to keep
these seeds in any place except a
metal receptacle, where mice will
not get them.
1t is a we'll understood fact that
mice have very epicurean tastes,
and will select the daintiest pOr-
tiOns of any article on which they
feed. While suntlOwer seeds are
not as yet prepared for market,
they have been used with excellent
success by amateurs who are fond
of experimenting in various ways.
The oil obtained from them is
wholesome and agreeable. The
seeds have he merest shell about
them, and they are extremely
pleasant to the taste.
Who knows but that we may
find in this product a welcome adj
ditiOn to our present food supply.
Being very easy to raise; and, with
an enormous yield, they may, and
doubtless will, prove an important
item in a commercial as well as a
gaStrOnOmiC way.

Electric Light and Power for com-
try Houses.

An excellent suggestion has been
made to meet the. convenience of
jewellers in parts remote from cit
les, where the securing of a supply
of electricity is attended with more
or less difficulty. 1t is proposed
that owners of country houses
should combine and have their
electricity generated and distribute
ed from a central station. At some
fixed place, preferably the railway
station, an electric station under
skilled management should distri-
butte the power at high pressure.
The station might also serve as a
telephone exchange. Where for
an ordinary householder the cost
of current would be prOhibitive ;
the high-pressure central station
system might so reduce the cost as
to make an electric supply fully
available. \ steam or fuel gas
engine would drive two alternatOrS
at low-pressure the current would
be transformed up to suitable pres
sure according to distance. Each
householder would be supplied
with transformer and meter in the
same way as in towns, and a joint
stock company might be made to
run the station with limitations as
to maximum prices.

Room tc Learn the Muir
derer's Fate.

CANDo. Nov. 23-As early as one
O'Clock crowds began to move to-
ward the court house, and in less
than thirty minutes it was packed
to fullness. Sheriff J. II. McCune
arranged seats for about one hund-
red ladies who were anxious to view
the prisoner and hear sentence pro-
nounced upon him by the court.
For three long hours the people
waited patiently and at 4.o5 Judge
Morgan ordered the prisoner to be
brought in. Nota sound could be
heard and all was as silent as death
when Judge Morgan asked the
prisoner to rise. He said:
'lhe grand jury of this county
found charges against you Of MUIR
der. Before this indictment was read
the court asked you if you had any
money with which to employ an
attorney. You said YOU had none:
there upon the court appointed Mr..
O'Bricn of Devils Lake to act as
your defence. The time. for your
sentence has now arrived, and I ask
you, have you anything to say"
"Nothlng; no sir" was the pris-
oner's response.
"lhe crime to which you pleaded
guilty is punishable by state prison
for life and also by death penalty.
I can safely say that the crime was
most atrocious, and that this court
feels the greatest sympathy for you;
but | can show you no clcmency.
The punishment this court gives
shall be by hanging you by the neck
until dead, and may God have mercy
upon your soul"
The prisoner showing no excite
ment whatever, was led out of the
room. The sentence fixed the time
for the execution on Jan. 10, 1894.

The prohibitsonists of North
Dakota have net yet poured their
vials Of wrath upon the head Of
Acknowledgement Standish for say
Ing that the state is infested with
"blind-pigs." When Bishop Shan
ley made the same statement sever
al months ago. aud said the law
should be either enforced or re-
pealed, tie fanatics emptied
buckets of abuse upon his sancti-
fed head. The sensible, level
headed citizens Of the state endors-
ed the Bishop, and at 8 mass
meeting held at Fargo he was rap
turously applauded when he
declared that he had done more
during his clerical career in the
cause of temperance than all the
prohibition fanatics of North
Dakota combined. Being a
Catholic prelate the long-haired
females of the state thought he
had no business to make any re-
marks Oh the non enforcement of
the liquor laws, but they have
since been convinced that Bishop
Stanley can defend himself from
their vituperation, and now they
let him severly alone.

THE DEMOCRATIC VOTER.

Self-direction is a quality of the
democratic mind. A democrat
never feels like himself when work
ing under political orders. He must
feel that the orders come from him
as much as from anybody.
In that characteristic the demo-
crat is the American. It is demo-
cracy which make the American
political character. If the country
had only the federalist we would
have purely British institutions and
British political habits.
The democracy always contains a
majority, but the majority cannot
be handled like the federalists min
critics.
Republican leaders can be corrupt
inconslstant, treasonable to the con-
stl.utlon and contemptuous OF plat
forms without demoralizing TIE
organization of those who vote the
straight ticket under orders. They
can repudiate to-day what they
glorified yesterday. We cannot, the
democratic party must stick to the
straight path. 1t must consult the
individual voter every time or the
voter will break loose.
The democratic party could not
have declared in 1875 that pensions
would never exceed S35,Oo0,0O0 and
have in 1893 sneered at 5000, 100000
as niggardly: 1t could not have run
a free trade presidential candidate
in 1880 on a tariff reduction platform
and have in 1890 adopted a policy
prohibitive protection. 1t could
not have denounced the other party
! in 1888 for demonetizing silver
have passed in 1890 a cowardiy
makeshift to relieve its presldeht
from signing free coinage bill, arc
have in 1898 claimed the gratituds
of the nation for having all the TIM

One effect of the Bomberger
tragedy will be to retain capital
punishment in North Dakota for
murder. An effort was made at
the last session of the Legislature
to abolish the death penalty entire
ly and the bill only lacked a few
votes of majority. Scarcely a
man could be found in the state
since the Kreider tragedy who
would favor the abolishment OF
capital punishment, or who would
have been satisfied if the penalty
for Bomberger's crime had been
fixed by Judge Morgan at i'm.
prisonment for life.

GIVE THANKS TODAY.

Those who have been especially
blessed during the past year need
no reasons for being thankful to-day.
There arc many, however, whose
thoug hit is: "Wc have nothing to
be thankful for-hard times, money
lost in speculation, poor crops and
poor prices III fact everything has
been sort Of "bluc.' While. Of
course ones prospects are apt, like
the mercury in the thermometer, to
indicate ones feelings, on the other
hand this is not all of life, and there
are many reasons why the most
detected mortal should return thanks
to the Giver of all things on this
annual festival. TO such we offer
the following suggestions.
I. We have had a asbeautiful harvest
season.
II. Crops have been abundant in
this county-far exceeding many pre-
vious years.
III. Farmers, that the financial de-
preston has not affected them nearly
as much as most other classes. Farmers
as rule have plenty of the necessaries
of life, which cannot be said Of thous-
ands ip the cities.
w. That labor is securing recogni-
tion heretofore unknown, so that the
workingman and the workingwoman
are recognized as possessing rights
meyer before accorded them.
V. The continued advantage of edu
cation as evidenced by the large atten-
dance at the schools and colleges, in
spite Of the hard times; and notably in
the west.
vi. The cholera which threatened
us last year, and which has brought
death to so many thousands in foreign
climates, h& not reached this country.
VII. The Worlds Fair, which has
been the greatest exposition Of its kind
in the world, has done so much directly
(and Indirectly to form reciprocal
acquaintances between foreign coun-
tries and ours and between our. varioas
states.
VIII. That God in his goodness has
spared our lives-some of us that we
may still improve our ways-others of
US that we may 60 on doing His work.
Cannot each of our readers find
something in the above, either
directly or indirectly, which will
furnish them with a cause to give
thanks to-day? We hope that you
may. For ourselves we are thankful
beyond measure that despite the hard
times of the past few months, the
CoUR1ER-D DEMOCRAT is stronger than
ever before, and may we not hope
that the paper has won a warmer
place in the hearts of it's readers than
ever held before? If so, we shall
be even more thankful.
