1t was a very quite one. From all re-
ports, there was no meeting. Democratic

Homeless Children.

Rev. J. R. McConnehey, president Of
the organization, says that during the
time the Children's Home society has
been at work in the state, it has received
$50 homeless children. About thirty
five of these have been taken from
Fargo, and an equal number from Grand
Forks, and the remainder from different
portions of the state.
Since the society was organized in Da-
kota in November, 1891, 1876 children
have been received and provided for.
10 accomplish this it has been necessary
to expend S4,697.35, as each state is sup
posed to be self-sustaining.
The average per capita cost of placing
these children has been about S47.50, in
Guiding all expense Of receiving and
placing them, and their subsequent SUI
pervision in the homes to which they
were consigned.

the occasion was as such affairs should
be-thoroughly informal and pleasant.
There were some features of entertain
ment, aside from the generality of amuse-
ment-a recitation by Miss Winchester,
which was rendered in that young lady's

Hughes, whose ability to entertain there
by has long been known to B~ismarckers.
Judge Chase, Capt. Gregg, Mrs Jerry
Barnes and Mrs. w. M. Pye were also
among the entertainers. Aside from
these, there was chorus singing and
merry-making, and there was muse
ment in plenty until a late hour.

Case Decided.

The suit of Charles Kupitz against
J. S. Murphy was dismissed by Judge
Winchester in chambers Friday morning.
The suit, it will be remembered, was for
a bill Of goods, furnished some firm up
the river, the evidence of the plaintiff
being that Murphy had agreed to see
that the bill for the goods was paid.
Suit was brought, and when the case
was heard in open court, the defendant
moved to dismiss, on the grounds that
the case had been brought against
Murphy as the original purchaser,
whereas, if at all liable, it was as guaran-
tor. In chambers to-day, Judge Win
chester granted the motion, and the case
was so dismissed.

Diversity Always Profitable.

Mr.. Ed. Whittlesey, advance agent
for the Columbia Scenic company, was
in the city this morning, arranging a date
for the company. Mr.. Whittlesey has
travelled extensively in the farming
states of the northwest this winter, and
his experiences and observations lead
him to say a word in favor of diversified
farming. "Of all the states we play
he said, "Iowa is the best. Times there
are not hard, and the farmers all have
money. This IS explained when 1t is re-
membered that each farmer raises a half
dozen different staples. If one of them
is a failure, he has another 20 fall back
upon. If the price of one of his pro
ducts is low, another is almost certain to
be high. Last fall, they had pork to sell,
when pork was high. The same with
corn, and other products. The wisdom
of diversity is beginning to be seen in
North Dakota, also, and when the idea
is generally accepted, there will ensue a
period ofgreater prosperity"

Sure Enough Gold Bricked.


The jamestown Capital confirms the
story that O. Fl. Holt was worked by a
gold brick. The Capital says that in
1892, w. M. Lloyd went to Manchester,
England, to attend a meeting of the d.
rectors of the Alliance Mortgage and In
vestment company, and it was while he
was away that 0. H. Holt was taken IN
by the gold brick fake, and j.. M. Lloyd
let him have the money, $4,000, from
the bank. He went down to Minnesota
with the money, where the brick was
tested and pronounced genuine by a re-
putable goldsmith, but as might have
been expected by anyone wiser than
Holt, the sharper, during the exchange
of the money for the brick which he was
to hold as security for the money until
the gold mine deal had been consum-
mated, changed bric4eon him, and the
sharper went away 9th $4,000, and
Holt came back with a copper brick,
which is said to be on deposit some
where down in the Jim river.

out this debt, and having the kitchen

A Beautiful Aurora.

AS if to close fttingly the birthday Of
the immortal George, the whole heavens
were ablaze with auroral splendor Thurs
day. The display was a beautiful one
far beyond any W. seen by the ma
jority of those who witnessed it. It was
not confined to the northern heavens,
but overspread the entire sky-north,
east, south and west. Brilliant in color
ing and fantastic it outline, it far exceed
ed any possibility of a%rtitce, and was
grand, as natures phenomena are always
grand. In the east, there was a broad
area of brilliant white light, Enthusiastically
streaked after the of all auroras,
and the lower edge a clear cut line, as
though trimmed in q straight line by
artificial means. Between the aurora
and the horizon was a considerable
space of unaffected sky, which appeared
almost black in opposition to the brill
ancy Of the auroral light and
the contrast was magnificent in effect.
Overhead, too, the sky was brilliant. In
the northwest, however, was seen the
most beautiful part of all the display.
In contrast to the white light in. the east,
there was a soft hued, light red tinge of
coloring, inter streaked here and there
with narrow strips of white light, some
of them reaching down almost to the
horizon, and others shorter, and then
longer, and the relative lengths all the
time changing, until the whole presented
a Kaleidoscope appearance. Altogether
it was a remarkable phenomenon, and
one of the handsomest of natures some
times lavish displays.

Suit to Remove.

An interesting suit was filed with the
clerk of the district court Wednesday,
that of Asa Fisher vs.. John Ostlund
and Knute L. Anderson. The suit is
for the possession of about seventeen
inches of land on Main street, the land
in dispute being now occupied by one
edge of the John Ostlund livery barn, at
the corner of Main and Fifth streets.
The suit brings back to memory Incl.
dents of old times. Way back in the
spring Of 1877, there was a fire in the
city, which cleaned out the row of build
ings on Main street between Fourth and
Fifth streets. And in the rebuilding Of
this block, was made the mistake
which has eliminated in the present
suit. An error was made in the loca-
ton Of one corner of the corner lot, and
it was placed about seventeen inches too
far west. 1t is also asserted that an
error was made in the location of the
monument in the center of the city
square at that place, and that this was
the real cause of the error. At any rate,
when the buildings were rebuilded, the
livery barn was built for seventeen
inches of it's width on Fishers lot. The
fact.remained undiscovered until a yearor
SO ago, when some private surveying re-
vealed the fact. The suit is brought at
this time, because if the barn, which was
built in IT, is allowed to remain there
three more years, the strip of land will
belong to the owners of the barn, by
right of occupancy for twenty years.
When the suit is decided, it is probable
that the barn will have to be moved the
distance in question. And if so, unless
there is error in the location of the city
monument and is should be proven faulty
bysthe ownes, the width of the barn will
have to be diminished to that extent,
otherwise the building will project into
the street.

Getting Things Ready.

Bismarck firemen will be interested to
know that the Fargo fire boys are get
ting things in trim for the tournament
to be held there next June. The Fargo
Forum says the different companies have
begun to discuss tbs matter, and some
have appointed committees. The ques-
ton Of competing teams ome in for it's
share of argument. Some Of the local
teams don't care to put one in the field.
The Yerxas are satisfied with past
honors, and seems disposed to take
things easy until others break the
record held by them. The Continentals
are undecided yet as to what they will
do, and the Rescues are hanging fire till
the new truck is a real thing. Some
members Of the department think that
since the tournament is to be held in
Fargo, the local companies should not
compete, but spend their energies in en-
PERTAINING their guests. The indications
now point to a large attendance and the
fremen over the state are feeling en-
thusiastic over the prospects. Whatever
the Fargo department decide to do will
be done well, and they will determine
their action in time to get good teams in
the field if it is thought necessary.
THE STATE ASSOCIATION.
Secretary Bassett says in the Fargo
Republican: ''The copy for the new
constitution, bylaws and tournament
rules Of the North Dakota Fireman's
association is in the hands of the printer,
and I expect the book will be out in
about ten days. It will contain also the
proceedings Of the Grand Forks conven-
ton and tournament aud the Fargo
1893) convention. The committee on
revision has taken a great deal of care in
the work, and we have one of the best,
if not the best, set of regulations in the
United States.
II firmly believe the new order of as
ISOLATION matters will result in renewed
interest and increased membership. The
companies now embraced in the associa-
ton membership are such as the state
may we'll be proud of.
Besides the young blood with which
all volunteer fire companies are recruited,
there are many old fremen whose
records as uch5date back from fifteen to
twenty-five years, men Of ripe experience
and good Judgment; they hail from all
parts of the union, and have run with
the odd machine end the new. With
such a combination Of youth, energy and
experience, success in all their under.
takings is certain. Among the old time
fremen who still hold membership in
and are active workers with the assoc,a.
ton, | call to mind the following we'll
known gentlemen: A. M. Packard and
Jas. Locke, Mandan; ). M. Edgerley and
>. u. Wakeman, Bismarck, and Others in
all parts Of the state.
"With the inducements that will ha
offered in the way of mileage. to contest
ing teams and the desire of the firemen
to see the unusual spectacle of q beauti.
full and solid city built in seven months
| e anticipate the atten dance of q larger
number of teams and visitors than ever
before"

Two Loves, One Wife.

a. seq
&c. Horton, travelling agent of Sher-
man Bros, Chicago, who is known to
retail grocers here, has been carrying
matters with a high hand for the past
year Or two, according TO the Fargo
Argus. AS the story goes, he is re-
ported to have ingratiated himself into
the good graces of a beautiful and accom-
plished young lady Of Valley City, he
representing himself to be a single man.
Not long since a rumor reached the lady's
ear to the effect that he has a wife and
two children living at Rochester, Mimi,
and becoming suspicious of her lover,
she sent his picture down from Valley
City to a Fargo milliner-a cousin of
Horizons. She readily identified Horton
as her cousin and has informed the Val
ley City lady of his perfdy. It is said
that the date has been fixed several times
when Horton should lead to the altar his
fair ~fiancee, but he always on some pre-
text or other managed to arrange a post
ponement, Notwithstanding that the
wedding trousseau was in readiness for
the event.

Preparing for Work.

EL.. HLE n .I.
The approach of spring again awakes
an interest in the beginning of work for
the completion Of the addition to the
capitol building, and the board Of capitol
commissioners have the matter now
under consideration and have had for
several days. The sale Of the $4,000 OF
remaining capitol completion bonds the
other day was the first step in the prepar-
alton of ways and means for the work.
The foundation which was completed
last fall is in such shape that the build
ing OF the structure proper can be begun
without any delay whatever. The plans
and specifications, too, are ready, and
were brought up and turned over to the
commissioners by Architect Hancock
several days ago..
The commissioners have held several
meetings the past week, and are holding
another meeting this afternoon. There
are several questions under discussion,
that Of most Importance being as to how
the. work shall be carried on, whether

tendents, and the state have charge Of

More Escapades.

It is said that the notorious L. G. Hor-
ton has been mixed up in sseveral pre-
vious love affairs similar to that at Val
ley City, one Of his more recent escapades
taking place at Grand Forks. His wife
got an inkling of this affair and it nearly
caused a separation, but the matter was
subsequently patched up or the avowal
of Horton that he would behave himself
in the future. This, however, it seems
he has been unable to do. 1t is said on
good authority that he has a fine home
and a most estimable and loving wife and
two fine children.
