What To Do With 1t.

At the spelling bee Thursday night d
lady said to me: "How this reminds me
of 1888. When I first came to Bismarck
this place was then in the hands of the
Bismarck Library association and they
gave socials every month, where one
could hear a high grade of music, read.
ings, recitations, ETC., for a mere nominal
sum with refreshments thrown in. These
gatherings gave me a very favorable i'm
preston of the people and place, for all
strangers were introduced and made
welcome in this far-away western border
town.
"The room was always brightly lighted
and kept open in the evening as a free
reading room, and was quite a rendezvous
for the young people of the city. I found
the citizens had been liberal enough to
contribute the money that built the snug
little hall, and that the brave women of
Bismarck were doing their share of the
work in keeping it open for the public
good. Then hard times come and the
Library association was unable to con-
tinue the good work and to keep the
building open, so they sold their right,
title and good will to the w. C. 7. o.
This organization repaired, refurnished
and made it a place of beauty, but soon
found that they could not keep the room
open as a free reading room without
financial assistance.
II do not wish to set myself up as an
oracle, or advise the w. G. T. U.
what they shall do, but it strikes me
that this building is centrally located,
might be made a bright reading centre,
where a steady stream of good influences
might flow forth every night in the
week, to neutralize the effect of evil over
the minds of the unwary. I believe the
w. G. I. U. is non-sectarian, and they
should unite with the city in some way
and make this q memorial building,
representing the faith, enterprise and
good will of the old tines and have
every kind of an organization for COED,
]oln hands for the greatest good to the
greatest number. Let the Musical
the 'Dramatic'-the 'Chautauqua Circle
Good Templars'-'Young Mems
Christian association etc., in fact any
society that represents progress and ad-
vancement, find q home in this historic
building. Then it might once more be-
come a place where strangers coming
amongst us might be welcomed and
made to feel at home in the capital
city OF Bismarck" A LADY.

The ollowingf from the Chicago Record
will interest Bismarckers who are
acquainted with Miss Bessie Southmayd
and Arthur G. Logan, both former resi-
dents Of this city. The Record says:
Arthur C. Logan of Montana, was mar.
ried to Miss Bessie Southmayd at the
Auditorium yesterday afternoon, the Official
clergyman being the Rev. r. Mcintyre of
this city. Though the bride and groom
riage wa altogether unexpected at SO early
q date: A little incident in which Montana
Worlds Fair Commissioner BicktOrd
played a part, was the cause of Fastening
the ceremony and having it removed from
his state to this city, much to the chagrin
OF the friends of the couple, who had been
looking forward to the event for many
months.
Mr.. Logan is now in the mining bust
ness at Helena. He was for many years
public instructor in the state of which the
town mentioned is the capital. Miss
Southmayd has also spent her years in
Helena.
About a week ago Mr.. Logan arrived at
the auditorium E en- route to New York. He
a couple Of days. He was particularly
anxious that his lady loves peace Of mind
should not be disturbed by hearing the
news and expressed his feelings in the
matter to his friend, Commissioner Bick-
ford. The commissioner, however, thought
Miss Southmayd should be informed of the
true state of affairs and accordingly sent
her a telegram setting forth the facts. Miss
Southmayd declared that she could not
live in Helena while her lover was i'll in
Chicago. On receipt of the message she
Immediately started, arriving at the Au-
ditorium yesterday. Seeing that she was

any amer. II, on the other hand,
there was no vacancy to be filled and
the governor had no right to appoint,
then the holdover board was illegal one,
and their action would bind the state.
Further, he said that after c~onsulta-
ton with Auditor Porter, he had con-
cluded that even if the maudamus case
were decided, it might not altogether
settle the vexed question as to who are
the righttul officers Of the institution.
Accordingly he with the auditor had in
stituted quo warranto proceedings, and
he wished to have the judge pass upon
this question also. He had consulted no
authorities, and only wished a decision
one way or the other, it mattered not
which, upon which the losing side could
base an appeal. this being the only way
in which the matter could be brought
before the supreme court and finally
settled.
General Hughes, who represents the
uOANOVcI UOdIu, S61U 10 anu the AT.
torney general were agreed upon this,
only wishing q pro forma decision, en-.
abling them to get the matter before the
supreme court on appeal.
Judge Winchester remarked that as
both the attorneys had agreed upon so
much. they might as we'll go ahead and
agree upon a decision Qaughter.) The
attorney general then stated that most
of the decisions he had seen in like cases
were in favor Of the "holdovers," and he
was willing to have the case decided that
way. Judge Winchester then stated he
would decide both the mandamus and
quo warranto cases in favor of Warden
Boucher and the holdover board of
trustees, and he wished it understood
that the decision was merely a pro
forma one, upon which to base an appeal,
made to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned.
The attorney general at once gave
notice of an appeal in both cases, and
the matter will come up at the supreme
court, which convenes May I'd.

FROM Fridays Dally,J
The Spelling Bee.
There was fun in abundance at the
spelling bee last evening. The W. c.
T. o. reading room was we'll filled, and
the crowd was one to enjoy thoroughly
participation in an old-fashioned SPELL
ing match. Prior to the choosing of
sides, Mrs. Holley made a brief address,
setting forth the object of the gather
ing. and following this, General Hughes
and E. 81. Wilson selected sides, and
with Captain Gregg officiating as school
master the spelling began. He COM
menced with monosyllabic words, and as
long az he confined himself to these
the lines of spoilers remained unbroken.
But with the introduction of longer and
more difficult words, the spoilers began
to drop out M by one.
Mr.. Wilson was the first to
succumb, the word "amethyst" beng too
much for him, and Mrs. Pettee succeeded
in outspelling all corners, and was
awarded the first prize, a tempting look
ing cake, while Nj. Wilson was awarded
the BOBBY prize, a spelling book, such as
are used in the primary schools. After
the spelling there was a pronouncing
match, the relation of some funny
stories by Captain Gregg, and an in
teresting talk on the Worlds Fair by
General Hughes. Then came one of
the most pleasing parts of the program
-refreshments-and the gathering dis
persed, all indebted to the originators of
the "bee" for q right good time.

DOWN With THE BRIDGE
Fatal Plunge of Two Passenger
Cars on Virginia Road.
SEVEN PEOPLE INSTANTLY KILLED.

Five Escaped with Injuries Which VIII
Not Prove serious-FortunateiyT There
Were but Few Passengers on the Train
When 1t Dropped Sixty Feet. .
DASviLLE, Va, Aug. 17.-An awful ac-
cident occurred at the county line trestle,
just cast of Milton, by which two passen-
ger coaches and sleeper were precipitated
Into the creek, sixty feet below, killing
several people outright and wounding a
number of others. While going over the
trestle the engineer, Peyton Tunstall, who
says be was running at the rate of ten
miles hn hour felt the bridge giving away
he threw open the THROTTLE and the en-
gine, tender and box car got safely over,
but the passenger car was too late and tho
span went down under its weight, the sec
.ond passenger car and sleeper following.
The cars were shivered into kindling
wood, and the escape of any of the pas
sengers was miracle The water in the
creek had liscn to the depth Of twelve or
more feet, and it is the general belief that
tho rise had undermined the foundation of
the iron piers, causing the trestle to settle
On the train at the time were about six
teen persons, including the train hands,
but only one Of the latter-Conductor II.
Morris, of Portsmouth--was killed, none
Of the others receiving serious injuries.
In the sleeper were Mrs Harvey Giersch,
two children and nurse of Salem, N. c.;
Conductor j. L.. Sizer, Of Richmond and
j. R. Townes, colored porter. The nurse
was drowned and the conductor and por-
ter slightly injured. Mira. Gicrsch was on
her way to Lawrenceville to visit friends.
The depot agent at Milton heard the crash
and immediately gave the alarm by toll
ing the bell. The people turned out in
full force and went to work at once to
rescue the dead and injured from the de.
bris.
TIE little 10 year.old daughter of Mrs
Giersch not realizing the danger through
which she had passed, said to the rescuers:
Don't mind ME, / am not hurt, but please
take mamma out"
The following is the list of the killed
and wounded;
Killed-H, Morris, conductor, Ports
mouth, We; W. II. Ellison, Alton, Vail
4; Davies, farmer, OF Baskerville, Va;
w. II. Elam, Durham, N c.; James S.
Lowe, railroad conductor from the west,
who was passenger; Thomas Lee colorcd,
Winston; Francis Jenkins, colored, Salem,
NC
Wounded-Mrs. Harvey Gicrsch. Salem,
n. G., slightly; J. L. Sizer Richmond, Va,
pullman conductor, foot mashed and
slight internal injuries, J. r. Townes
colored porter on Pullman, slightly bruised
about tbs body; - Davis, flagman, hurt
about head and face and foot sprained
The injuries of none Of the injured will
likely prove serious. The loss win be very
heavy to the railroad company, as the cars
and full span of the bridge are total
loss.
