They Appreciate 1t.

As an evidence Of the ability of Mr..
and Mrs. Bob Wallace as entertainers,
the following letter written by one of
the members of the fishing party recently
at Spiritwood, and Endorsed by all the
members of the party, speaks for itself:
To entertain is the highest delight one
mortal can say he has conferred upon an
other. Entertainment, like knowledge, can
not be purchased. Like health, it cannot
be assured by the observance Of rules of
conduct. Often those who strive hardest
to confer it, appreciate most keenly the
dismal failure of their effort. That which
delights the school girl utterly fails to en-
terrain the shaggy eyebrowed student of a
deeper philosophy. l can find but one def
milton which, to my mind is complete, for
ito entertain" which is that the enter
tainer so arrange that the incongruous of
diverse natures meet and blend in perfect
harmony. He or she who can, without
ostentation and without apparent effort,
make the busy man of affairs absolutely
divorce himself from the cares of business,
make the public official forget the cares of
state and the guardian OF the life and health
Ofthe unfortunate return a second time from
his daily charge to enjoy the pleasures of
the occasion-can say in truth they have
solved the mystery of chow to entertain.o
My feelings have been most fully justified
by observing the delight of others. and to
YOU, Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace, 1 am pleased
to say you are the prince and princess of
entertainers, and l thank you for your hos
pitality.

Didn't Bother Him,

Despite the recent decision of the state
supreme court in the Nickells case at
Wahpeton, where the plaintiff had mar
ried too soon after securing a divorce,
Fargo had all illustration of another
hurried marriage. Henry M. Hart, gen.
eral agent for the Mutual Life Insurance
Company of New York, recently of st.
Paul, secured a divorce from Harriet I.
Hart on the ground of desertion, alleging
in the complaint that while he was 81
years old, she was 81, and had refused to
live with the plaintiff for fifteen years.
They were married at Harmony, Wis, in
1858, and had five children, all grown.
He secured his decree at $40 in the
morning. Fifty minutes later he had
secured a license, and at 4::30 in the after
noon was married to Mrs. Ella M. Pratt
of Chicago. His bride has been with
Mr.. Hart during his enforced ninety-day
residence in North Dakota, and the two
have been constantly together.

by Dennis Hannifn to be one of cutest

way. He was employed in the dining
room, and did chores about the rooms of

from various of the rooms-togged him
self up n morning, presented himself
at the gate with a bold front-and was
allowed to walk out-no one dreaming
he was a convict until he was gone.
He wandered about for a day or two,
and was finally captured ear Sterling
by Peter Olson-who is now dead, hav-

Mrs. Andrew Blewett of this city has
received from the members of the Grand
Lodge, Degree of Honor, of the two Da-
kotas, a gold badge, appropriately in
soribed, as atoken of esteem. The badge
is a neat and handsome one, and the

compliment to its. recipient, by whom it
is highly priced. 1t is inscribed "Pre-
sented by Members of Grand Lodge,

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

There is only one way to cure deafness.
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is inhamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the in
hamation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-

A Peculiar Fact.


The re-arrest of che man Brown, at
Emerado, in Grand Forks county, the
other day, e%xemplities an interesting fact
in relation to crime and criminals.
Brown is an old graduate of the state
penitentiary, having served a consider
able time in the intuition for assault
with intent to kill. His second offense
is similar to the first. and he will prob
ably come back for the same crime as
that which landed him in the peniten-
tiary for his first term. It is a peculiar
fact that of all the %convicts who have
come back to the pen a second term, and
there have been a number of them, thew
have been returned for the same CRIME
for which they we're sent up the first
time. If the first offense was burglary.
the secord was the same-if assault, the
second was similar-if forgery, the
second term has always been for the
same thing. Crime seems to run in
channels, and each bird appears to have
a leaning toward one kind of misdoipe.
which is responsible, generally, for the
second term, whenever the convict gets
into trouble the second time.

A Magnetic Cannon.

It is a wonder that nobody heretofore
has thought of making huge magnet,
as large, say, as a Cleopatra needle, and
seeing whether it's force could not in
some way be applied to industrial op
erations. The nearest approach to such
magnet has been made by Colonel King
of the United States army at Willett's
point, which juts out from Long Is.
land into the sound. Colonel King has
magnetized a cannon II feet long by
wrapping it closely with insulated cop
per wire and then passing electrical cur
rents through the wire. 1t took more
than ten miles of the wire to wrap the
cannon.
The effect is very strange. By con
Meeting the huge magnet with another
cannon alongside two electrical poles are
produced. The weight of the two can,
mons together is 48, 900 pounds Wher
currents of electricity are made to pass
through the copper wire wrapping, the
uldSu5b1C hOON4O 40 OOI1U IL AAA Auo OOAA0N
at distance of 200 feet away. Within
a certain distance of the big gun heavy
crowbar will be whirled up and drawn
to the cannon as if it were thistle down.
If man tries to hold the orowbar from
moving toward the magnet, it simply
drags the man along too. The power is
SO strong that the magnet holds fast five
cannon balls, each weighing 325 pounds.
One sticks fast against the muzzle; the
others cling fast one to another in
row, chainlike, and hang suspended.
One curious fact concerning this big
magnet is that its neutral point has
been found. At that particular point q
piece of iron will not be held by it
undar anv circumstances.

Greater Gold Production.

One can hardly tell whether it is a
mere advertisement from the company
owning the African goldfelds, or a
movement on the part of the goldbugs
to strike terror to the hearts of the sill
verites and make them yield, or wheth-
er they are bona fide news-the accounts
so numerously and SO vigorously cirou-
lated about the vast resources OF the
South African goldfields.
The accounts declare that thus far
these goldfelds have not yet begun to
yield their maximum. A French geolo-
gist, M. Jacques Siegfried, says that
the African gold deposits, unlike those of
California, run in regular layers and can
be counted on, not having been broken
by commissions of nature. The gold pro-
duction from these mines is moreover
increasing steadily under improved ma,
chinery and the stress of scarcity OF the
yellow metal.
In 1860 the worlds gold production
amounted to $40, 100000 After that
it decreased till 1885, when it began to
grow again. The lowest output from
1860 to 1886 was in 1884, when the
amount sank to 800, 600, 900. Then the
figures commenced to rise till in 1894
the worlds production amounted to
s16O, 900, 900. The Frenchman predicts
that in a few years the annual gold
product will be 5000. 900, 900. and that
il will be not less than that in many
years to come. On the strength OF this

economist, M. Paul Leroy Beaulieu.

The Troubles a Chicago Man Had 10 Com
tend With While Going Home at Night.
This hard luck story from Chicago,
particularly since the action took plac e
in zero atmosphere, is especially
touching: Mr.. Andrews left his club,
with its warm rugs and warmer drinks,
at midnight to 60 to his home a mile
away. The snow was dry and he had
plenty of wraps, so he concluded to
brave the brisk wind and walk the dis
lance. Three blocks away from the club
his watch and SIPS, but overlooked S45
in bills in his fob pocket. Mr.. Andrews
congratulated himself on the robbers
oversight. and went forward briskly.
But scarcely block was gone before a
second highway man relieved him of both
the S45 and his overcoat. This was bad
enough, bit it was not the wosrt. A
third highwayman took his top clothes,
about a block from his house, leaving
HIM without anything on save his under
flannelS. After some banging at his
door Mr.. Andrews got into his house
and tumbed at once into bed to thaw
out. Despite his adventures he fell
asleep quickly and soundly. The next
morning, to his CONSERVATION, he found
that burglars had been through the room
and left him not thread of clothes.
