Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1895-01-18

The adjournment of the legislature
until Monday has made everything quiet
in lawmaking circles. and the members
seem disposed to pass the several holi-
days modestly. In the committee rooms
yesterday morning there were a few
scattering members who read the papers,
discussed current issues and rested. At
the capitol the halls of legislation were
deserted, except for a scattering visitor
OR member who dropped in casually to
look around. But there was an all per-
vading quiet: which contrasted strongly
with the hustle and activity Of the OPEN
ing days of the session.
A number of the members returned
home yesterday to pass the days until
the session is re-convened. Some of them
will run down to St. Paul to look after
the Minnesota senatorial election, and
others will go home to take advantage of
the opportunity offered to attend to prl-
vate business affairs. Many of the mem
bers, however, whose homes are in the
remote districts Of the state will not en-
deavor to make the trip, as the time is
too short to permit of more than their
getting home and back again by Monday
morning. These will remain here, look
after the preparation of work which they
have laid out for themselves, and await
the beginning of work again next week.
CAPITAL NOTES.
Miss Mary Rourke has been appointed
stenographer in the governors office.
Major Edwards was about the only
caller at the executive office yesterday,
aside from the regular newspaper
workers.
The university and school land board
met yesterday but transacted only rout-
inc business. The question of appoint
ment was not taken up.
The two safes furnished each of the
legislative halls are suggestive Of stolen
bills. One is for business under copsid.
alton, and the other for files. The rail-
ing about the clerks desk is also an K
cellent guard.
The $500 reform school warrants and
the excessive orders for blanks and
stationery and the populist printing
contracts are likely to be included
among matters to be investigated by the
senatorial committee.
The legislative halls were deserted
yesterday, especially the senate chamber,
Many of the senators have gone to st,
Paul to see how senators are made and
will be there to learn the result of the
senatorial caucus this evening.
The detective bills on file in the sec.
retary's Office, lost the last night of the
session through the negligence or inef.
tciency OF clerks OF committees ought
to be inspected occasionally by members
OF the legislature. 1t might prevent
similar trouble during this session.
Commissioner Laughlin has sent in.
qu'rles to 700 names furnished by mem.
bers OF the legislature making inquiry as
to the best manner of preventing the
spread OF the Russian thistle and for
eradicating it where it has gained a foot
hold. The Associated Press has also
sent out the inquiry. Replies from all
who have any suggestions to make should
be sent at once to the Russian cactus
committee, Bismarck. Let all speak at
once on this subject. Light is wanted,

holding of dances, is wrecked and ruined.
Prior to the coming of the United
States marshals, the major said it was
impossible to prevent the pillaging. One
day no less than go teams and 100 men
were busy, looting, and when he entered
a protest and warned them, he was as
saulted with sticks, stones and clubs,
and driven off. Since the arrests were
made, however, the pilfering has ceased,
and the remains of the buildings have
been allowed to remain unmolested.
Whether the effect will be lasting or
not, the major said he could not say.
The men who were confined in the Nor
ton county Jail for their depredations
have served out their terms Of 80 days
each, and We're released a day or two
ago. Whether their offenae will be re-.
peated remains yet to be seen.
His Mind Unbalanced.
Rev. John Scott, one of the oldest
Presbyterian ministers in the state, was
brought to the asylum Tuesday evening
by Sheriff Geo. McCabe of Bathgate;
Pembina county, says the Alert. The
reverend minister is a white haired, in
telligent, pleasant spoken gentleman
about Is years of age, a monomaniac on
the subject of hospitals. His home is at
Walhalla, where his family lives. He
has devoted twenty-five years to mission
work in the Dominion of Canada and
nineteen years in North Dakota.
His hobby and the project over which
his mind became unbalanced, was the
formation of what he termed "The In
ternational Christian Alliance Hospital
and Electric Railway company, with a
capital of sl,000,O00." He had made ar
engagements for the purchase of the old
Carney hotel at Emerson, and intended
to open it the first of the year for hos
pital purposes. A similar institution
was to be opened at Walhalla and the
two connected by an electric railway.
Power could be furnished from the
Pembina river.
When he was sent to the meeting of
the general assembly of the Presbyterian
church last July he visited a large num-
Der of places in the east and Canada in
the interest of his project, and is said to
have even gone so far as to interest John
Wanamaker, but with what success is
not known. He is a we'll known char
acter throughout the state as "Father"
Scott. Recently while at Grand Forks
ne preached in the Jewish synagogue in
the Hebrew language.

A SHIP OF DEATH.
TWO MEN, 4 WOMAN AND a CHILD
FROZEN TO DEATH ON
PAMLICO RIVER.

A sad story of the freeze IS
told in the following: One day
last week q small sail boat was
found idly drifting on the waters
of Pam1ico river. No hand held
the rudder and the sails Mapped
and spread as the wind w1lled.
III the little cabin two men, a
woman and a little child lay
dead. The bodies were frozen
and the ice had crusted the
glazed eyes.
Their names were unknown.
They had sailed into the sea OF
silence on the ship of death.
When the freeze came on they
must have been out III the sound,
with their little ship headed to-
ward the river. They doubtless
fell asleep during the night and
the fire went out. And the sleep
of nature passed INTO the frozen
sleep Of death.

A PLEASANT ENTERTAIN
MENT.

Under the management of ST. Mary S
Guild, OF St Pau1's church, an enter
tanning performance was presented at
Rca's Opera House OH Friday evening
last.
1t began by presentation of the
comedy entitled, tox of Monkeys. The
play was uniquely drawn as satire
upon the peculiarities of American
customs i'll matters of cOurtshlP and
matrilnony. The cast of characters was
most happily composed OF Misses Will
liams, Wood and Dadham aud Nessrs.
Hines and Badham aud showed in
marked contrast the very English re-
serve "doncher-know" and the less
restrained American ideas.
Miss Williams, Mr.. Hines and Mr..
Badham IS amateurs are not strangers
to Edenton audiences and they need
no higher praise than when We say their
previously earned X putations were i'll
every way sustained. Miss Badhan' S air
ofwcstcru candor and vim was equallcd
only by the excellent extreme reserve
of Miss Wood as the English lady.
After the comedy, there was most
beautiful rendition of Tcnnyson S
Dream Of Fair Women.
Preceded by the reading OF each
verse (splendidly read by Miss VIII
kins) the rising curtain revealed Ill ar
tistic style young lady representing
the heroine of the stanza read. In this
role figured Misses Warren, Collins,
Burton, Jones, Bond, Hawkins and
Bond, who in graceful posture typificd
the characters i'll the poem from the
"star eyed goddess of the Nile" to beau
tiful Helen whose charms enslaved
King Priam's son and wreathed in I'M
mortality the great war of which
Homer and Virgil sung.
Miss Watson, with her usual skill,
presided at the piano and rendered
selections suiting each scene.
The closing scene showed canvass
| on which could be traced the dim out
lines of mammoth sun-flovers i'll the
centre of which appeared classic ieat-
ures of fair young ladies and gallant
bcaux, whose faces had received al
least three coats of genuine burnt
| cork.
The entire performance was spler
did success. Appreciation of the large
audience was attestcd by frequent
rounds of applause.
To complete this article fairne<$'
compcls allusion to the sonlnolen
powers of Mr.. Eley, who posed as TIE
poetic dreamer, and gracefully driftee
adown the streams Of dreamland while
visions Of maidenly beauty appeared
and faded about him.

formed-Just here we will say,

Last night, Thursday, the COM
edy drama, Kit the Waif' was
never play better b. any Com
pany.
Miss Nellie Lyons Healy, as
leading lady, is a splendid actress

al applause from her audience.
Miss Bessie Marie Gordon and
Miss Minnie Branner are also
very good, while the gentlemen
of the Company all showed them
selves to be artists in their line
