Meninl Employment.

At well known women's club late
Iy, the discussion came around to the
i:iea Of ladies earning their living hy
certain sorts of rather menial employ
racnt. One woman present. literary
light asked: 1.-The trouble is, doesn't
she put herself in the way OF being
snubbcd?" To which another literary
light remarked, with dignity: MY dear
Mrs. So-and-So, 4 Christian gentlewo
man never snubs anybody" This broad
statement was somewhat weakened by
the fact, notorious to the persons pres
ent, that the speaker was a woman
of great dignity, although also Of great
lindliness to those who were her
friends. Stumbling, however, was not
an unknown art to her. Moreover, the
unfortur ate fact was linked that the
woman who tries to do any sort of
work has to come in contact with all
sorts Of people, and cannot limit her
clients to christian gentl"women."

Uncle Sam has at least two
profitable stamp stores-those in
New York and Chicago-where
he realizes n handsome divident
on his investment. The receipts
of tho New York Office in year
are 100000 and the expenses
S2,500,000, leaving net profit to
the government of from it's opera
ton of $4,500,000. The receipts
of the Chicago Office are &,500,-
600, leaving a net profit to the
government of $2,500,O00; SO that
New York and Chicago together
net $7,000,O00. Just what this
means is best understood when it
is known that the actual deficiency
in the postal revenues, exclusive
of the business of these two cities
is $l4, 100000 a year.

Clever SparrOws.

Science offers a story of three sparrows
If there was no flaw in the observation
the observer was boy twelve years
old-the case must be accounted most
extraordinary. Says the boy:
A few days ago, as 1 was walking
along the street, saw sparrow lying
on the ground. It f1uttered it's wings,
but was unable to rise.
AS was looking, a pair Of old birds
came along, carrying between them a
little bare twig about three inches long.
One had hold Of one end of it, and
its companion had hold Of the other.
They brought it down to the bird on
tue ground, and it caught hold Of the
stick with its Deak. - !, ... "a.
Then they flew into a tree, carrying
the third bird hanging to the stick,
and by this means brought it to place
Of safety.
I am sure that the bird on the ground
was young one; it looked quite large
and 1zay have been wounded or sick
1t was not able to fly. anyhow, fol
saw it try to do so without success
Sll the birds were common English
sparrows. r

THE rowNEn MURDER.

TowSER, N. D., May ~
Especial Our usual quiet cAy was
thrown into a state of great excite
ment this morning when it became
known that Deputy Sheriff Ole
Peterson was shot and killed by
Sam Smith, Negro, whom he was
attempting to arrest. Smith Is a
barber and had been keeping res
taurant with two other negroes.
he had been rioting for two days,
threatening to burn the town and
assaulting a storekeeper. Smith
resisted arrest and shot the deputy
sheriff. He was armed with a
Winchester repeating rifle and kept
the crowd, attracted by the shooting
at bay while he made his escape to
the woods. The sheriff organized
large posse of citizens heavily
armed early this morning and start
ed in pursuit. He was finally located
in 'dugout" about five miles south
of the city. The dugeut was sur
rounded and Smith ordered to sur
render. He at first refused, but the
sheriff finally gave him his choice
of asurrender or an ignominious
death on short notice, and he gave
himself up, agreeing to go with the
officer, but refused TO give up his
weapons and threatened to kill the
first man who dared to touch him
Feeling is very high In this city owe,
the murder, and numerous threats
have been made of summary punish
ment. Smith has been taken tc
Minot for safe-keeping.

AN AMERICAN POLICY.

Gold monometallism is favored in
England because it increases the
gains of creditors and because it
lowers the prices of agricultural pro-
ducts. In the United States public
opinion, wherever it moves freely, is
inexorably opposed to gold monome-
tallism, because that standard
lowers the price of our staple crops,
destroys the value of our silver
mines and embarresses the circula-
tion of money. We cannot count
upon the promises of Eng lish bime-
tallists that the troubles in India
trade will bring a change of heart in
parliament. We can only observe
events and hope for an international
agreement in which England will be
a contracting party. But we are
not as weak as we were when
Jefferson was constrained for years
to wait while England and Napoleon
shuffled and trifed with us over
orders in council and Milan DEGREES.
The American people must be pre-
pared to formulate and adopt an
American policy. The south and
west can through the democratic
party establish the American coinage
policy; and Missouri can lead the
south and west. 1t is splendid
mission OF leadership aud it carries
with it the duty of consistency in

HYPNoTlzED THE CROWD.
But the Fnkirs Could Not Deceive the
BOston's Mems Camera.

BOstOn's Mems Camera.
Two young men Of Boston, while ON
q journey through India last summer,
witnessed an exhibition by fakir in a
small village outside Calcutta, says the
Calcutta Mirror The fakir was per-
forming the usual experiment of
making rope descend from the clouds
and a man come down the rope, who
had ascended by tie same route, after
having his head cut off. The exhibition
was in an open square before 1000
spectators. Every one saw plainly
what WAS happening.
The two Bostonians had cameras
with them, and took several snap. shots
Of the exhibition in it's various stages.
They intended to write an article upon
the subject for magazine and illus
trate it direct from photographs. They
developed the plates with much inter-
est upon their return to Boston recent
ly. They were nonplussed when they
saw the results. The photographs re-
vealed the fakir, surrounded by the
crowd, with asto1ishment, bewilder-
ment and horror pictured on their
faces; but the extraordinary decapita-
ton they had witnessed did not show
upon the sensitive plates. The crowd
standing around were apparently look.
ing in the photographs.
What they saw had not happened at
all, but they merely saw it in their
minds eye. While there is nothing re-
markable in the force of suggestion
when applied to one person, it would
not be impossible for an impression
such as the event which tho Boston
men saw, to be conveyed to one person
in hypnotic condition. The circum
stances at the Indian fakir's exhibition
We're, however, entirely different. Here
were 1000 fully awake, who all saw II
their mind exactly the same picture
and had no doubt that the wonderful
events actually happened.

LONDON CONFERENCE.

How do the gold bugs explain the
intense interest aroused by the bime-
tallic conference in London? At
the meeting Thursday the message
of several United States senators
was received with "prolonged cheer
ing" Among those who earnestly
believe that the single gold stan
dard has caused immense trade dis
turbance and industrial distress are
bank directors, statesmen long as
sociated with finance, merchants and
manufacturers. Nobody can call
them doctrinaries or revolutionists.
They are men who are slow to take
advanced ground on any question.
Unless they were very sure of their
conclusions and unless they felt that
deep-rooted evil were calling for
attention, they would not be cheer
ing cable messages and voting reso-
lutions for asking the opinions of
parliamentary candidates. Bime-
tallism has won the first battle
that of intellectual argument. Even
Sherman of Ohio admits that the
free coinage of silver on equal terms
with gold would be blessing to the
world. This bimetallic conference,
voluntary meeting that 10 years
ago would have scarcely attracted
attention, may be called the end of
the argumentperio and tho begin
ming of action all along the line.
Now the question is whether all the
nations shall act together or whether
one nation which believes in the free
coinage of silver shall provide the
metallic currency Its business needs
without waiting for the slow nego-
tiations Of international agreement.
In this hour of their intellectual
triumph bimetallists may grant that
there is much to be said in favor of
trusting to international agreement.
Undoubtedly it would be far bet
ter if all the great commercial
nations, or majority, could agree
upon ratio of bimetallic coinage.
A general agreement could maintain
valuation of silver which no one
nation could independently under
take. Blu: how long must the United
States wait? International con-
crosses have been held and
without effect. France would not
agree to anything unless England or
Germany would come in. England
would not change her:system, though
she admitted that she would like to
see the others do something for
silver. With all the progress in
argument and with all the severe
losses of events, what practical terms
oS agreement have been ripenr.'::

NORTH DAKOTA THE RICHEST
AGRICULTURAL STATE.

AGRICULTuRALS STATE.
The Washington correspondent Of
the Chicago News-Record has been
examining the last census in regard
to the distribution of wealth in the
western portion of the United States,
and finds that Nevada, Montana,
Arizona, and the two Dakotas, are
richer in proportion to population
than the eastern states. He says the
distribution of wealth is very un-
even, the largest sale being found
where there is the smallest popula-
tion. In the new states in the far
west the wealth per capita is very
great, and in the south it is very
small. Nevada, great mining
state, is the richest in comparison
with it's population, than any state
ia the United States. If its wealth
were divided among it's inhabitants
each man, woman and child, would
receive $3,941. Montana comes
second with $3,les. The poorest
state in the Union is South Carolina,
where the average per capita is but
$s4s.
The average of property per capita
in the mining states is $2,95o, while
in the Gulf and Mississippi valley
states of the south it is $3.50, and
in the south Atlantic states the
average is $579. Of the middle and
northwestern states, North Dakota is
much the richest, having 1854 per
capita, the remainder following in
this order: South Dakota, 81, ,593;
Illinois, 1884; Minnesota, 81, 800;
Kansas, $l,26l; Nebraska, sl,2o5;
iowa, Sl,lee; Wisconsin, $l,os7;
Ohio, sl,o76; Michigan, Sl,oo1;
Indiana, 1926, and Missouri, 1896.
According to the Genus it is found
that wealth is more equally distri-
buted in the agricultural than in the
manufacturing states. NorthDakota,
that has been in the Union barely
five years, ranks highest among the
agricultural states, even surprising
little Rhode Island, a great manu-
featuring centre-which heads the
list of eastern states in the distribu-
ton of wealth per capita, and is the
richest of the New England States
and such reputed wealthy states as
New York and New Jersey. The
average of property per capita in
New York, New Jersey, and New
England, is but Sl,232, and in the
central and western states it is
$l,l29. Leaving out of considera-
ton the mining regions, the most
rapid growth in wealth has been
hown in North Dakota.
What future awaits this state
hardly out of its swaddling clothes,
when in the short space of less than
a quarter of century it rises out of
an Ultima Thule, the almost un.
known and somewhat indefinite
region described as the sNorthwest," "
and surpasses its sister states, the
older and more densely populated
commonwealths of Illinois, Mime
sofa. Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio and
Indiana; when in the short space of
fifteen or twenty years an infant
state rises almost to the dignity of
an empire, and is known from end of
the United States to the other as the
"bread basket of the world" And
the ''half has not yet been told" of
its wonderful resources-its own in
habitants even do not realize the ca
pabillties, the possibilities of its ex-
pensive prairies which stretch away
on either hand like the undulating
b1llows of sea until lost to view on
the horizon.
