CAPITAL CULllNGS.
The Term of Court and City Elec-
tiOn and a Banquet.


The Bismarck Gun club gets out for a
shoot once every week at least.
The Jeffersonian democracts met last
night ht the Custer house for social
occasion. There was speaking and re-
freshments-solid and liquid. Tracy
Bangs was toastmaster, and there were
several leading lights of the state democ-
racy present. 1t is understood that
there was no particular meaning attached
to the meeting or any serious attempt ia
determine where the democrats of North
Dakota "are at" but the boys just got
together to celebrate something concern
statesman, Jefferson-who by the way
was silver fellow. :,
The city election Tuesday resulted in
the re, election of Mayor Leslie, who has
servso the city in fair and capable
manner as the convention that re-noml-
mated him showed. AT the last hour an-
other ticket was gotten in the field, for
blsuack is not yet under the Australian
system, but Mr.. Leslie's majority was
sufficient to strongly indicate that the
people of the capital city want him to be
at the head OF affairs for another year.
It is compliment to a painstaking i'm.
partial official. The appearance OF the
second ticket is said to have been for the
purpose of getting opposition to insure a
full vote in order to take advantage OF
the Australian system next year.

School BOARD PROCEEDINGS.

At the meeting of the board of educa-
ton Tuesday it was decided TO hold
the grad uation exercises on the evening
of June Goth; the schools will close on
Friday, June 21st. At these exercises,
which will be held in the opera house,
Miss Bates, state superintendent of pub
lie instruction, will deliver an address,
having accepted the invitation of the
board that she be present on that occa-
sion. The board adopted the rule that
if any pupils IN the "A"-graduating-
class of the high school do not attain the
scholarship required by the board then
the pupil, or pupils, will be allowed the
option of taking part in the exercises of
the class and certificates granted them
showing the work they have accom-
plished; also that diplomas be withheld
from them until the deficiency in their
standard of scholarship IS made up
A change in the arrangement of the
rooms IN the south side school is con-
templated, so that the ninth grade will
be taken into the high school and the
room in which that grade is at present
relieved of about Is pupils. The present
room used as laboratory will be parti-
toned off and a portion used as a cloak
room and hallway, and the remainder
used as an enlargement OF the high
school room. This will increase the
number of pupils in that room to about
so.
The proposed purchase of library
has been deferred for the present.

four hours and set it aside. The next
day remove the fat, and, If you do not
wish to eat the meat in the soup, take
that out. Strain the soup. Cut up fine

A RHINOCEROS CALF.
Tho Queer Little Animal Captured by
Hunters In the Tropics.

The Queer Little Animal Captured by
Hunters In the Tropics.
Mr.. Selous and companion named
Wood shot a COW rhinoceros. and the
next moment saw that it was accom-
panied by a small calf, not more than a
day or two old. The little fellow
seemed unable to keep up with its
mother, and at the approach of the
hunters ran under the legs of Woods
horse. Wood pulled up to secure it,
and Selous hurried forward and fin
ished the COW.
On returning to the spot, Selous
found his friend sitting under a tree
and the baby rhinoceros standing close
beside his horse, which manifested not
the slightest alarm at the near prox-
unity of the strengthening strange
smelling little beast.
The calf, too, appeared to be equally
undisturbed when the men went up to
it and passed their hands over it's back.
1t was about as large as n half-grown
pig, and had no sign of horns, though
two round patches on the nose showed
where they would grow.
Mr.. Selous was struck with the fact
that it sweated profusely all over it's
back, n thing which he could not re-
member ever to have seen in the case
OF an adult animal.
The calf followed Woods horse rs
closely as IL it had been it's mother,
and the men determined to keep it,and,
ifpossible, bring it up. They were six
miles from their wagons, but the cal I
followed like dog the whole way.
The heat of the sun troubled it. At
every shade tree it would stop and
rest; but as soon as the horse was
about twenty yards ahead it would
twist up its little tail, utter squeal.
and come trotting alongside.
No sooner did IL get To the wagons,
however, that 1t was transformed into
perfect little demon. Perhaps It was
the sight of the dogs, that came bark
ing about It; perhaps it was the wag-
ons; at all events, the creature became
quite another being, and charged dogs,
men, and even the wagon wheels with
the greatest fury.
The men tethered IL, and after a
while IL became quiet; but IL could not
be made to eat anything they had To
give it-there was no COW In the camp
and finally they thought IL merciful
to kill 1t rather than turn IL loose To
starve to death. Youths Companion.

DRESSING A CHILD.
Comfort Should be Considered rs Well NJ
Looks.


There is no reason in the world why
little girl may not be dressed COM
fortably, and at the same time prettily.
The frocks of to-day are quite loose
enough to allow the little women to
run and romp and have as much exer-
else as seems necessary, and those are
unwise, mothers who do not look out
for the comfort of their little people
with each change of the weather. The
leather leggins comfortably lined with
flannel, are quite as suitable for girl
as for boy. If mademoiselle's hat re-
fuses to stay in place unless the rubber
band is very tight quickly remove that
and tie her hat on with ribbon-strings.
In this way you will prevent her hav-
ing a headache from tight-rub-
Der, and you will also make 1t
impossible for careless nurse to
put the rubber band behind her ears
and so cause them to lose their shape.
Everything that child wears should
be firmly fastened, for nothing will
make her SO unhappy as to find that
she is coming undone.
Allow her shoes to be little large,
giving the foot a chance to grow, and
if you take my advice you will always
select laced shoes in preference to but
toned ones, because the lacings will
permit the boot to be easy in fit or not,
as is most comfortable. Personally,
think If they are properly attended to
and sewed securely in place that tapes
are better than buttons for the under
wear of little people, but this is some
thing that each mother must decide
for herself If the skirt is fastened on
to the underbodice by buttons, then
make it part of your daily task to see
that each button is firmly secured, and
your little lady will not be afraid to
run about and jump and gain good
hcalth.-Ladies' Home journal.
