day afternoon was a brilliant affair. Over
two hundred ladies were present. After
speeches by Mrs. DeVoe and Miss Bates
appropriate resolutions we're drafted by
a committee appointed by the president,
endorsing the views of politics and suf-
frage advocated by those ladies.
The court ROOM, where the addresses
were made and the reception occurred,
was Hastily and prettily decorated. Mrs.
DeVoe's address on "Woman's Eleva-
ton" was a pleasing one, the lady being
an entertaining speaker, and one of wide
experience and observation. There we're
many instructive and elevating generali-
ties in her discourse, and also a relation
and description of the experience of the
! states and communities in which the
suffrage of m was permitted, the
argument being in favor of the general
granting of the right. Her address was
attentively followed by her bearers, and
we'll received.
State Superintendent Emma F. Bates
followed in an interesting address. and
which was a strong presentation of the
arguments in favor of equal suffrage.
Miss Bates is a keen, logical and inter-
esting speaker, and her remarks were
heartily applauded.
At the close of the addresses a dainty
collation. and reception was rendered
Mrs. DeVoe, which was participated in by
a large number of ladies, including men,
bers of the club and invited guests from
the city and from among the ladies visit
ing here.
Complete Surprise.
A complete surprise was that of MI.
and Mrs. Charles Kupitz Monday even
ing by a number of their friends, the
most of them participants in the recent
Catholic fair. At about 9 o'clock fifty
or sixty of the friends of the couple
dropped in upon them at their residence,
and although their. coming wal alto
gether unexpected, the hostess was not
at all Disconnected, but proceeded to
make all at home with u right good grace.
After the surprlsers we're all present the
purpose of the affair was made manifest,
when Mr.. J. w. Herbert, in an uppropri-
ate address, presented Mrs. Kupitz with
a handsome silver tray in token of the
appreciation by those who participated
in the fair, of her untiring efforts for it's
success. General jollity and good feel
ing prevailed, and the evening was a
thoroughly pleasant one, both to the
guests and to the host and hostess, to
whom the evidence of esteem was an
especially pleasing one.

May Be Adjourned.
1t is probable the term of United
States court which was to have been be-
gun here March -, will be postponed to
some time in May. Judge Thomas will
be busy, holding court at Topeka for
some time, and it is not thought the
term there will be finished by the date
for which court is set here. The March
term of court here promises to be a
pretty busy one. Both grand and petit
juries have been summoned, and aside
from new matters which will come up,
there will be a number of cases, put over
from the Grand Forks term which will
be taken up. One of the most interest
ing cases will be that of the trial of the
halfbreed, McElroy, from Fort Buford,
for murder. Another case of local in
terest will be the sentencing of A. j.
Smith, of Mandan, who was found guilty
at the Grand Forks term of melting a
mob against a marshals, while the strike
was in progress. Smith is at present
confined in jail here, and stands his con.
fnement we'll, being considerably stouter
than when first confined.

An Explanation.
It has been remarked by some that I
have been wrong in participating in the
fair for a new Catholic church, not being
myself a Catholic. In explanation, I
desire to say that I have acted in the
matter because Of the fact that my wife,
who is a member of the church. was in
terested, and took a leading part IN the
endeavors to secure funds for the erec-
ton of a new church. This has been
my sole concern, and l think no one will
criticise me for having assisted and
aided her. CHARLES KUPITz.
