and pcercd In. A faint light was burn
ing and he could hear the measured
breathing of some one asleep. eau
tiously he crcpt inside, STOPPING low
and looking around No one there save
sleeping woman. In an instant Il cloth
saturated with ether was thrown over
her face and he waited one, two, three
ten minutes, and the stcntorous
breathing OF the sleeper told him the
drug was doing its work. With tlcx-
ferrous hand he seized the jewelry and
money lying on the dressing case and
began q quick search in the drawers of
the case. 10000" came voice from
the shadow OF the room. Quick as n
flash the burglar clutchcd his silent
knife and turned to meet his victim
No one was visible. "Oo-oo," came the

was a pretty baby, slccpily holding up
its hands 10 him. He let the knife fall
to his side, and, stepping over to the
crib, touched tho child. It coocd again
softly, and held mp its arms for him to
take it. The impulse was beyond his
control, and he lifted the baby to his
bosom, and it nestled its soft, white
check down to his and put its white
arm around his neck He purred to it.
and in Il moment its curly head was laid
against his face, and it was asleep
again. "Ncvcr seen kid like that"
he whispered to himself "NIost of Jun
is afraid of strangers" and tcndcrly he
laid it in tho crib. Then he went back
to the dressing case. He stood still a
moment and then looked furtively over
his shoulder toward the crib. The
sleeping face OF the child was turned
toward him. Slowly he replaced on
the case all he had taken from it,
hastily snatchcd from the woman's
face the saturated cloth, opened n win
dow near the bed and quietly slipped
downstairs. Once on the street again
he looked up ut the house hungrily.
Dang it," lie growled, "a man that
amt got no more gizzard than have

he disappeared into the shadows of the
night.

AN ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
William G. Tyler Cuts His Throat In
Richmond.

RICHMOND, Feb. o--Tho Cap itol
Square was the scene to day of an at
tempt at suicide. Dir. William Corne.
lius Tyler, about 20 years old, who is
we'll and favorably known throughout
Richmond, this morning left his home
for his usual morning walk. He went
into the square and seated himself on q
bench in front of the western entrance
to the capitol building.
Shortly before II o'clock he said to 3
woman, who was tho only person in
that part of tho square, Pray for me"
As soon as these words were spoken he
slashed himself across the throat with
penknife, making three very ugly
cuts almost from ear to ear. He was
taken tc tho Retreat for the Sick, and
there is very little chance of his re-
covery MFR. Tyler was, up 20 about
five years ago, in the employ of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Company.
Owing to his advanced age and i'll
health he had to give up his situation
About six months ago his wife died
Since that time Mr.. Tyler has suffered
considerably from attacks of melan-
cholia, and he had one of these spells
on him to- day when he tried to end his
lifo. Mr.. Tyler is known personally to
nearly every Mason in this city, having
made it a practice for years to attend
every lodge meeting in this CITY.

FAST SKATING IN HOLLAND.
Tho Dutchman Doesn't LooI, Handsome,
But IIe Goes n Lively Gait.

Tho Dutchman Doesn't Look Handsome,
But IIe Goes Lively Gait.
The average Dutchman of the south,
though he can skate very well, looks
rather foolish on the ice. His short legs
and wide breechcs are admirable adj
Juncts TO his nose, his thin, cooked
beard and the lumpishness Of his ex-
preston, says Chambers Journal. To
be sure, this breadth makes him look
important, but if he were less muscu-
lar 1t would be a sad hindrancc to him
in battling with the wind, which in win
ter is apt to make skating in one di-
rcction something of trial. The Fries
lander, however, is taller, better pro-
portioncd and in all respects n hand
some fellow. The yellow beard he some
times wears seems to put him at once
on a footing of affinity with the other
members of that respectable Anglo
Saxon family to which we ourselves be-
long quite as much as his provincial
speech and his blue eyes. He is a most
masterful creature when once he has
put on those quaint, old-fashioned
skates of his, and thinks nothing of
making score of miles from one vii
lage to another before you and / are
out of bed. AS for the cold, what cares
he for it? He knows he must rely on
that lusty circulation of his to keep
him from being benumbed, though he
clothe ever SO lightly, and seems more
regardful for his head-which q seal
skin cap takes care of-than of his
well-shnped body. A Friesland canal
in winter is as lively as anything can
be. The ice may not be very good or
of unquestionable strength, but no
sooner are the boats penned in and the
broken pieces of ice sufficiently welded
to allow him to skate between them
than the sport begins. 1t is
feat OF honor to be the first
in the district to cross the canal
when the wintry season is in it's youth.
The name of the bold lad is remcm-
bered for week or two, and have no
doubt his pluck stands him in good
stead in the esteem of the cherry
checked damscls of his province, whose
eyes dance past one SO brightly when
the ice festival is in full swing and
lourneying is all done on skates.

Southern route should return via the
Northern route. In short one can gain
but little knowledge of California unless
he goes from one end of the state ia the

Nearly all excursion tickets to the Pacific

sired, and the prudent tourist will take a
route that will give him the opportunity Of

large excess of the demand for it, will
prove to be of less value than a much
less quantity of the same, when it is only
about equal to tine demand. The real
test of value of any article of commerce
or manufacture is the proportion estab-
lished between the amount OF it which is
wanted, and the amount that is to be
had. No ether basis of determining
values is safe or practical, and the sooner
the farmers Of this state realize the fact
and govern themselves in accordance
therewith-as the producers of other
staples have been compelled to do-the
better it will be for them. There is
always such a possibility as too much OF
agood thing, and that seems clearly 10

THOSE editors who were so fortunate
as to have had the opportunity of visit
ing California last year upon the occa-
sion of the meeting of the National
Editorial association, never tire of
sounding the praises of the Pacific coast.

heard much about the states wonderful
resources and admirable climate, but
they did not anticipate complete captiva-

The consensus of editorial opinion

The consensus of editorial opinion iu
the state press seems untavorable to the
action of the Fargo citizens meeting in
relation to the licensing of saloons. Per.
haps the unexampled and untaxed pros.
perity OF the piggeries OF the city was
enough of an aggravation to citizens to
form some excuse for their action, but
sober second thought will be likely to
approve the course of the authorities in
refusing to c~ountenance so fragrant a
violation of the law. Fargo is not the
only city in the state that has a right to
feel indignant at the practical workings
and results of prohibition.

As WAS supposed, the Fargo city
council sat down on the movement to
license illegal liquor selling and openly
defy the state law. In his message to
the council snent the subject, Mayor
Smith says:
II Fargo is to be rebuilt, if the fire-suf-
fering people are to be cared for and
placed upon their feet, it must be done by
maintaining the confidence of benevolent
people and capitalists. in our integrity.
Any. other course would be suicidal. It
would place the majority Of the voters OF
this city In q false light, and would bring
i%rreparable damage to our credit.
The council at once passed q resolu-
ton correcting the impression that any
licensing Of liquor selling would be at.
tempted, placing themselves on record
as opposed to any move Of the kind and
stating that no such proposition would
be entertained or sanctioned.

ANOTHER chapter has been enacted in

that the Unites States government has
no exclusive jurisdiction in the matter.
Everything, every reason is in favor of
Sunday opening, except in the minds of
fanatics who desire to perform the dog

The Grand Forks Herald has an ar.
ticle on North Dakota clays, which
brings to light another of the many yet
undeveloped resources Of the state. To
the investigation of Prof. Babcock of the
state university, is the Herald indebted
for its article, and it says:
The exhibits of Prof. Babcock includes
samples of many varieties of clays found
in various sections of the state. also speci-
mems of wares Of various kinds made up
from the different qualities of clays. Some
Of the specimens, after being baked in the
kiln in the university labratory nave been
| glazed in eastern works especially adapted
to that work. Among the samples are
some paving brick made from clay found
near Dickinson and burned in the chemi-
cal laDratory. Of the university. The pro-
duct is a paving brick far superior to the
ordinary, Then there are samples of fire
brick made from clays also found near
Dickinson, which are of the finest quality.
These were also burned in the university
labratory. The supply of this clay is prac-
tically unlimited and the cost of making
them little or more than ordinary brick.
And yet the market price, Of fire brick
connection it is worthy of note, that there
is an unlimited supply of native coal at
hand which may be used for fuel in burn
ing these fire brick, and the only cost OF
the fuel will be digging it from the earth
surface. and dumping it into the brick fur
mace. Very fine samples of blue clay are
shown from Jos. Plenty's coal mine on the
Missouri river. From MinOt there is also
beautiful specimens of blue coal clay, both
before and after burning. In the exhibit
are several samples of sewer pipe from
North Dakota clay, burned in an eastern
factory. The quality is far superior to the
pipe used in the Grand Forks sewers.
which were the hest that could be obtained.
| When it is remembered that our sewer
brick had to be purchased at st. Louis, and
a very large proportion, added to the origi-
nal cost to cover freight and breakage in
transit, some idea Of the value OF North
Dakota's clay deposit for w pipe alone
can be imagined,
With such an article of clay as North
Dakota undoubtedly possesses, a plant,
established in some convenient portion
of the state, and devoted to the develop.
ment of the article, would be an invest
ment profitable both to the state and to
those who inAest. All the subject needs
is advertising, and North Dakota will
come to the front with these productions

thing else she attempts.
