During the first call of Col. Breckin-
ridge at the Wesleyon Seminary, it de-
veloped that Col. Breckenridge had look
ed through Cincinnati paper for the list
of amusements, asking if there was not
a concert or some plausible entertain
ment which would furnish an excuse
for their trip. Miss Pollard had certain
ly supposed that they were going to
some such place when they started
driving, but when they got out in the
country he said that the evening was
warm. and he did not care much Cor
music anyway, so they did not go.

Money for the Capitol Building.
Secretary of State Dahl, a mem Der of
the capital commission board, says that
the bonds for completing the state
capitol building have been sold in Chi
cago at per cent premium, and the
money, $4,000, has arrived at Bismarck.
Work of completing the new wing of the
building will be pushed this summer,
half of the brick having already been
burned. As soon as the bids for the con-
tract have been awarded some definite
statement as to the plans and probable
completion of the work can be had The
bonds for the capitol building and SjO,-
600 refunding bonds were sold to the
same firm. a premium of 5000 being
obtained for the $4,000. The question
of legality was, of course. thoroughly
considered. the capital bonds being
issued on lands set apart by congress
for the purpose, although it Is under
stood that the state is liable for the in
terest and principal the same as its other
regular Indebtedness. The prisoners of
the state penitentiary will do a good por-
ton of the construction work. The com
pletion of the new wing will add much
to the appearance Of the capitol. releiv-
ing it of its present bare and unfinished
look. The senate chamber will be in the

same as those nominated by Mr..

Upon reading his list he moved that
they proceed to ballot, which resulted in
favor OF Mr.. Fancher, but one of Mr..

OF the total vote. The vote was as FOL-
lows: -
Steel, 60; Clemens, Sc; Montgomery,

Messrs. Camp and Montgomery being
tied, half vote was given each and both
elected as delegates. The convention
then adjourned, leaving the delegation
uninstructed and without further action
being taken on any other question.
It will be seen thct jamestown gets
eight men and seven votes to the state
convention, and the country outside of
the city gets six votes. The ,apportion-
ment to the country precincts was much
larger and the delegates more numerous,
but most Of the choice bits of the conven-
tlon went to the city just the same.
There are good men OF the delegation
from both city and county. They are
uninstructed and will present a strong
front on the scene OF battle.

Authorities were quoted to show that
the tendency now is, by the system of
Hush tanks, to use pipes of small area.
A case WAS cited OF an immense
hotel plant, which was thoroughly sup
Piled with sewerage with but a four.
inch pipe. There would never be more
than 1000 people along the line of this
sewer, and yet we have an eight, ten and
twelve.inch sewer. When the city is
assured that Mr.. Warmers property is
injured then damage will be repaired
without an action at law.
Attorney Sanford then took the floor
and stated that the people by their own
vote did not want sewerage, and cited
the election returns.
s.Clty indebtedness, including the school
district, amounts to $65,OOO; the school
district being part of the city, whose
council pass upon election of board
of officials, collects taxes for them and
pays over money to them. They pay
them so much each year. The debt of
this municipal government is there
fore S65,0OO. The taxable property is
liable for this entire amount. The cleo
tric light injunction case of fouryears ago
was touched upon and plea of Mr.. Camp,
who was retained by the plaintiff, quoted
as saying then that the debt of the city
was conceded to be s7O.OO0-now $4,000.
he also maintained that the most de-
sirable route had not been taken; might
have followed natural drainage and
emptled into the river within southeast
part OF the city. Cases we're cited to
show that 1T was their duty to prevent
contemplated damage by enjoining work;
they must not stand by and see the
sewer built and then make complaint;
must not sleep on his rights.
Six atfidavits were here presented, but
Attorney Baldwin objected, as they had
not been served upon him; was not ple-
pared to answer them. The court allowed
them to be read. One was from S. X.
McGlnnis, who on his own knowledge
affirmed that the sewer, if built, would be
a damage to residence property; would
damage health Of family of plaintiff;
that route is not best the one, as Fifth
avenue is high and dry and Sixth avenue
low and wet, ETC.. etc. The other
five were of similar teaor, but were not
read.

ercise it's own judgment and the court
cannot control it. The council were
presumed to act honestly and in their
best Judgment, aided by skilled counsel,
apc court cannot interfere, except when
they exceed their powers. The court
was ready to decide all points except
upon the question as to whether the
total debt of the city exceeds the debt
limit.
Attorney Camp called particular at
tention to per cent limit in constitu-
tion to which the city could bond. The
charter restrictions would not conflict
with the issuance of warrants in an
amount sufficient to pay for the contem-
plated work.
Attorney Baldwin plead for an early
decision. as the work can be done from
80 to so per cent cheaper now rather
than later on.
The court wanted time to look up the
city charter before deciding, and in
timated an early decision.

DAYS gained LOG pounds per day each.
Steers fed straw and hay with grain,
gained rs pounds per day each for 80

Steers fed on grain and straw for IL
days gained .33 pounds per day per steer.
All the steers, after having been thus
fed, gained but "a pounds per day eacf
for s5 days on mixed hay, grain and roots
The smallness of the gain is thought to
be due to the change OF food.
Steers housed at night and in yard, dur
ing the day, when fed on hay and grain,
and either roots, straw or ensilage. gained
1.35 pounds per day each for "a days
The experiments indicate that any at
tempt to crowd a steer late in the spring
after he has been moderately well fed,
will result in loss.
Roots made more gain than either straw
or ensilage.
As the amount of grain fed increased
the growth increased and the cost of the
gain decreased.
Steers bought at two cents and fed IN

There was fair sized audience at the
Baptist church, Friday evening, to hear
the brilliant young lecturer, Rev. Matt
Hughes, discuss the subject, 1.-The AL
mighty Dollar" He commenced by say
ing that this particular dollar was "A Dor
rowed one, having been coined by Wash
ington Irving in the 'Creole Village.
He spoke of the origin of money, how it
came to be necessity as medium or Of
exchange, for as soon as man created
surplus of any production, that surplus
was his wealth, whether it be the farmer
who raised more grain than he needed,
the hunter who killed more game than
he could eat, or the herdsman who in
creased his flocks to more than he could
care for This surplus could not be con-
yeyed one to another in bulk, so the dollar
was established as unit. On account
of mans higher reasoning powers, he is
the only animal who provides against fu-
ture want with few exceptions in the
lower animal kingdom, like the bees stor-
ing honey or the squirrel boarding nuts.
He went on to say that he considered 1t
every persons duty to himself to acquire
all the dollars which was possible by honest
and honorable means, for with money
cometh every good thing and the greatest
of these was the power of doing good with
it. Money tunnels the mountains and
bridges the rivers, lays low the hills and
cxalts the valleys, provides pleasant homes.
food shelter and the comforts of life.
Yes, it requires money to carry on the
work of the church and the great institu-
tions of learning. So money is the power
of the world. In all ages great plans
have been banked till sufficient money
was raised to carry them out. The plans
and dreams of Columbus were of no avail
till the jewels of Isabella and the gold of
the Spanish treasury were pledged to
support The battles of the Revolution
and the sufferings at Valley Forge
would have counted nothing had it not
been for the careful handling of the scanty
provincial currency by Robert Morris
Danger comes, however, in the attempt to
too rapidly acquire great wealth. Then it
is that means may be taken which make
the possession of the money sin. He
went on to speak of the home and what
money ought to do to make it cheerful
and what the home meant for the future
of people He spoke of economy and
false economy in a way in which the
meaning could not be misunderstood
In fact every sentence of the speaker from
start to finish was full o interest.
