A little history which he failed to give
was supplied by Alfred Dickey, who re-
sponded to the toast, The girl left be-
hind me-" in the stead Of F. Ingalls,, alb
sent. Mr.. Dlckey's remarks, as we'll as
those of F. 3. Fancher, who toasted "The
Ladies!-they divide our SORROWS and
double our joys; God bless them," were
complimentary, fowery, and the speakers
in their best moods. Mr.. Fanchsr said
that no words in our language were
strong enough to express his contempt
for old bachelors. "How any man, who
from infancy basked in mothers smile,
who has had sisters love and sympathy
and the comforts OF his home; who has
sung IN the light of religion as he drew
toward manhood and been warmed into
intellectual life by the blessings of edu-
cation, who with all these gifts flung
around him by the hand of God, can still
pass by all these bright eyes and beauti-
ful forms to accept the embraces of old
barhelorhood is an anonlaly-one of those
things which mo fellow can find out"
The toast, "Our host and hostess" was
fittinely and gracefully responded to by
Rev. G. H. Van Welt. They Took" he
said, "hell's half acre and converted it
into a veritable paradise"
Interspersed during the toasts was
music by the quartet, Messrs. Judd and
Karcher and Mesdames Adams and Cor
win, a duet by Mr.. Orlady and Mrs.
Pearce, and solo, Dreams" by Mrs.
Pesrce-Mlss G. Smith, accompauist.
All were IN good form and the music un-
usually excellent.
An informal reception was given by
the hosts after the banquet.

''Thls day we hold an accustomed feast.
To which we've invited many guest;
And you, most welcome OF the score,
Add to my guests one more.''
This quotation vas inscribed on the
program and menu of the formal open
ing OF the new Capital hotel, last evening
and the large number of guests present
testified to the popularity OF the hosts
and hostess and an appreciation of their
efforts to please the public.
Early in the evening the lobby and
parlors we're crowded with guests, social
conversation indulged in, the favorable
change wrought in the block
commented upon, and the proprie-
tors congratulated. 1t was not until
after ten o'clock that strains of music
from the dining room drew the concourse
thitherward where, amid flowers and
foliage plants, with the walls of the room
decorated with the national emblem,
tempting array met the eye. Two long
tables running the entire length of the
dining hall and loaded with the delica-
ces OF the season, delectably served,
were Immediately surrounded and ample
Justice done to the viands by the l35 or
more guests. Warnock's orchestra
played their most inspiriting music dur
ing the banquet. The elaborate menu
began with New York counts and was
varied enough to tickle the palate of an
epicurean.
Toast. master j. D. Whitelaw in a few
we'll chosen words informed all "Why are
We here," and V. L. Craig of Spirltwood,
In the absence of T. F. Branch, responded
TO the toast "t'irst impressions" He
said his first impressions OF the city, re-.
ceived in "a, were not very favorable,
while in 'S4, the next visit, the improve.
ments made were surprising. Instead of
wooden structures were brick blocks,
and subsequent to that time be confessed
his Impressions IN regard to that par
ocular locality we're not very favorable.
He, one OF those living outside of James
town, congratulated the people upon the
happy change effected.
=. NJ. Sanford responded to the toast,
jamestown then and now" The past
city was compared with the present city
and compliment paid to those handling
the reins of government by saying that
jamestown lie believed was the most
orderly, clean. and attractive CITY
In North Dakota. He was followed
by Rev. E. w. Thomson who, in
the toast '.The hotel and good
citizenship" answered the question,
what has hotel to do with good citizen
slip and what makes one good citizen?
Supt. Wilson toasted 1.-THE Northern Pa
c'tic r. r." while DR.. Nolan talked of
The harmfulness of eating" and put
everybody in good humor by his sallles
and quips. Chas. Hensel, who was in
best poetic trim, gave in measured feet
and with a poets license, a history Of the

Capital City Chatter.

The wife OF Deputy Auditor Preston
is seriously Ill and grave doubts as to
her recovery are entertained.
Landlord Bly, is up and around again
and is seen on the streets after long
and serious illness, which by many was
thought would prove fatal.
State Superintendent Eisenhuth has is-
sued circular in regard to the teachers
examination 4 for state certificates,
which occurs at Grand Forks and Fargo,
beginning at O'clock a. m. Wednesday,
the Goth inst, and continuing three days.
The circular states: I'VE are constantly
being asked to endorse certificates or
diplomas issued By ether states. This
will not be dohe and under no circum-
stances will private examination be
granted. The value of any certificate
depends upon the merits OF the holder,
and the manner in which it was obtained.
1t is hoped that al! persons wishing q
state certificate will apply for the exam
ination, as no certificate will be issued
from this office except as specified by
law. All wishing to apply for certificates
at the April examination, should notify
this department of their intentions to be
examined. at least one week previous to
date set, and also at which place they in

The outlook IN Bismarck now is for a
hot contested election fight, With honors
about equally divided. The last nun ci-
pal election, just passed, was not held
under the Australian election law, in
consequence of which it is alleged, in
certain quarters, that gross frauds oc-
Cured whereby the will of the people
was defeated. Leslie, the mayor elect,
received majority over Hutchinson, his
opponent, OF about 70 votes, but it is
charged that recount would show a
majority for Hutchinson OF so or 80. The
518; previous to this it is alleged that
the total vote cast in the city has not ex-
ceeded 800, thus not bringing it under
the provisions of the Australian law. The
intent of this law is that the entirety of
cities as voting precincts shall be pre-
served as much as possible, except that
il 800 or more votes are cast then the
city shall be sub.divided so that each
precinct shall contain $50 electors, or
less. On or before September lst of each
year in which an election is to be held,
the officers charged with the alteration
of election precincts shall alter exist
ing precincts in such manner that each
election precinct shall not contain more
than 300 voters. That the contest will
materiallze is confidently expected, aud
with it startling developments as to elec-
tioneering methods and "blocks of five''
voting.

a Queer Copper Mine.

''There are many kinds Of mines and
numerous inventions fer saving pre-
cious metals" said Professor L. E.
Waring Of Omaha, but the strangest
one l ever heard Of is at Butte, Mon.
When mines were first discovered in
that locality, it was found that the wa
ter contained IN the assures was SO
strongly impregnated with copper in So
luton that tools of all kinds were quick
~ destroyed by the affinity of the copper
for the iron. For long time the water
pumped out of the mine went to waste,
as no method was known of extracting
the copper from it. After awhile dis
covery was made that is being used to
good advantage. Some tin cans found
their way into the small stream. In a
short time it was noticed that they had
every appearance of being made of pure
copper, SO thickly were they covered
with that metal. In noting this fact,
one man resolved to try an experiment
He Immediately purchased the exclusive
right to the water. Then he put in a
series Of reservoirs and tanks along the
little gully where the water ran These
he filed with all the old metal to be
had III the town, including old barrel
hoops. At the end of six months he
found that the old junk was totally de-
stroyed, and in its place was sedi-

reservoirs which was so per cent cop

ploy of the Milwaukee and Mississippi
Railroad company, drove here with his
wife through the sand deserts from
Muscoda-thcre was no town hero then.
When they came within view of the
present site OF Boscobel, Mrs. Morti-
more, who was Il lady of culture and
understood something of tho Spanish
language. exclaimed, "Bosco-Belle,

There's beauty in tho dawning light,
And twilight fair or storlit night
Has each its charm aud grace,
But lovelier still on earth to me,
Tho fairest thing my eye can SEQ
Tho beauty of thy face.
There's calmness all the oceans breast,
AS deep and blue it seems to rest
Meath blucr heavens above,
But deeper, calmer, still to mo
Than ever sea OF sky can be,
Thino azure Dyes, my Lowell
There's music in the running stream,
And music when the woodlands seem
Awake with songs of birds,
But swectcr, dcarcr, still to me
Than natures voice can ever be,
Tho music of thy words.
