An Insane

One of the prisoners at the penitent-
airy, Joseph Monray, the italian, sent up
from Dickinson for two years and six
months for assaulting a fellow laborer
with a razor, has gone insane. The first
pronounced symptoms were abserved
several days ago, although the man has
been somewhat weak in the intellectual
region all along. Last night he became
noisy, and kept the whole cell house
awake with his noise. Warden Boucher
came in this morning, and consulted
with Frank Donnelly, the resident mem.
Der of the board of trustees, and the
latter has telegraphed the other men,
bers of the board, for a formal applica-
ton to the governor for an order to trans.
fer him to the asylum. AS soon as this
is secured, an examination of M%onray,
will be made by physicians, and be will
doubtless be sent to the insane asylum.

As to the Hoo Hoos.

The Minneapolis Tribune contains a
notice of the establishing of a lodge Of
Hoo Hoos there, and styles it the first
lodge Of Hoo Hoos in the northwest, and
the fourth in the United States. The
members Of the Hoo Hoo club in Bis
marck desire TO correct this impression.
The first lodge Of Hoo Hoos in the
United States was organized in Bis
marck nearly a year ago, officers were
elected and an emblem adopted. The
name "Hoo Hoo Club" was selected and
bestowed by the Bismarck organization.
This correction is made merely in the
interest of correct history, and for the
information of future generations, when
the Hoo Hoos shall be a power IN the
land.

HE HAD THE MOONS.
Had Heard of Snakes. Birds and
Butterflies But Moons Were
Altogether New.
A Meeting Called at Fargo For Dis
cussing Plans to Operate
Educational Institutions.
Various and Varied Items Of Local
News Picked up About the
City.
\ Gorgeous Moon.

The moon was off last night. Whether
il was a direct result of having been full
once too often has not been definitely
a%scertained, but the fact of it's ofness
remains. 1t was a gorgeous noon. Luna
was bedecked and adorned with sutfi-
cient splendor, to attend a full dress
ball. She was directly affected with
what is known to me%teorologists as a
lunar corona.
Lest someone should be frightened, it
may not be out of place to state here
that lunar corouas are not contagious or
necessarily fatal. They occur often, but
the general run of them are dim and in
5istinct-unlmportant and un%attractive,
with hardly au excuse for existence.
Even the moon itself is ashamed of
them.
But the one last night was magnlf-
cent. 1t was as gorgeous as the head
dress of an Indian chief, and many COL
cred as the rainbow. 1t was vivid, and
brilliant and grand.
a pedestrian who was guiding a par
tial jag along the slippery sidewalks at
about 8 o'clock In the evening, glanced
upward csrelessly, and the unusual ap.
pearance of the ordinarily common
place luminary caught his eye. He
stopped, leaned against a lamp post and
riveted his eyes upon it as though fas-
cinated.
'Wonder if itsh me or zhe moon?" be
=o~liloquized. Then he drew a hand
kerchlef from his pocket, wiped his eyes
carefully, and looked at it again. 1t was
still there and brighter than ever. "Mush
be zhe moon" he concluded, greatly re.
!ieved. Didn't think l wash That bad
he treasured himself. But just then a
cloud. light and heecy, obscured the
orllliancy of the corona, but left the
moon still visible. The hair of the be.
!ugged individual rose under his hat
'B'gosh (hic),' he suffered, "mush b5
me after all-mush be imazhination." He
Strengthened himself up. Heard O
snakes" he muttered, "heard O inshects
an birlsh. an butterflies, but moonsh-
ugh! Mnsh O been awful whishkey-
ugh" And he staggered off to sign .he
pledge.
1t was an extraordinary sight, truly
a half doven circles of vivid color sur
rounded the moon, and the result was
nlagniie lent. The outer circle was a
vivid red, and seemed a foot in width.
Within and next to it was a circle OF pale
yellow, then violet, then green, all dis.
:inct, and brighter than the colors Of the
rainbow. The outer circle looked about
twenty feet in diameter, and the different
circles of color lessened in diameter
until. in the center shone the moon
brighter than usual-and gorgeous from
its surroundings. The phenomenon wal
unusual because of it's extraordinary
clearness, and the pronounced de6natiol
OF the colors.

"What's the trouble in there, John?"
said the North Dakota woman to her
husband, and she paced impatiently up
and down the parlor, and waited for
hubby to emerge from the dressing
room.
"Just a little cutting o'fray, my DEAR"
he answered, as he hastily trimmed the
fringe of his other cuff with the lamp
shears. And his wife adjusted again her
new $40 bonnet, and waited fifteen
minutes longer by the clock.

Of the rpnge. Year after year they have
crept up into the little valleys between
the spurs of the foothills; then on to
the foot hills, and in many places clear
to the SUBMITS. All through they have
found excellent soil, good pure water.
and everywhere al exceedingly healthful
climate. Nestled in these little valleys
are some OF the most delightful places in
the world. So mild is the climate that
fuchsias and geraniums grow all winter
and the family garden is planted in the
fall, yielding good crops Of peas, pota-

There is plenty of land, equally pro-
ductive, now in the market, and at low
prices, and persons looking for a loca-
ton for a comfortable home should not
fail to visit this promising region.
