Midco ntinent Exposition.

North Dakota is being sounded by
Twin city papers at present upon the
subject of a proposed exposition at one
or the other of the Twin cities, to be
held some time in 1897, and to be parti-
cipated in by the entire northwestern
country. The idea is to have each OF
the northwestern states take hold and
make an exhibit of it's on q
more extensive scale than has ever been
done before, that the rest Of the nation
mey be made Better aware of the pro-
gress and prosperity Of the northwestern
states. Leading men in the state who
have been Q in the matter are of the
opinion that North Dakota would be in
favor of HI exposition az is suggested,
and that no trouble would be experienced
in getting a Legislative appropriation for
the purpose of making an exhibit. The
proximity OF the Twin cities would be
such that the placing of exhibits could
be done at small expense, and would
give an opportunity for all residents of
the state to visit the exposition. At the
same time, it would be visited by people
from all parts of the country, and prove
a valuable advertisement for the state.
No definite arrangements have been
made yet, and nothing has been done
but secure the sentiment of leading men
of the northwestern states. From pres.
ent indications, however, the midcontip.
ent is considerably more than a posi-.
bility, and an appropriation for North
Dakota's representation at such a fail
may be one of the questions to come be-
fore the next Legislative assembly.

tible creature who whatever her faults
may have been, provided, for a time at
least, an affectionate and acceptable wife
to her companion, but her peculiarities
led her into misfcrtune; and the divorce
courts released her husband from her
support. 1t was about the time of the
citizens organization, all being opposed
to the claims of Sweet, that Mrs. Pen
nell's psychic powers vera devt loped
She was the wife of one of the settlers
who claimed in the interest of Colonel
Sweet all that portion of the present city
of Bismarck west Of Sixth street and
lived about where the Dakota block
stands. The thought occurred to
Colonel Sweet that he could make use of
Alice lPennell's psychic powers to dis
cover the purposes and plans of his OPP
ponents. Accordingly whenever he came
to Bismarck he would sit with her, max
ing passes over her, often succeeding in
thro wing her into hypnotic trance, dur
ing which time he could send her in spirit
to distant points. In one instance she
read correctly the door plates on a certain
street in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, read
ing the pames of the streets as she
reached them. He tried her powers in
many instances and found so long as he
could control. bel, her powers we're reliable
On the night that the citizens finally de-
termined to jump the townsite Colonel
Sweet was practicing on Mrs. Pennell as
usual, when she gave a wild shrek and
commenced trembling violently. In
deed, 1t was almost impossible to pacify
her. Finally, on becoming quieted, sh
described six men who we're at that
moment engaged in plotting to accomp.
fish his death by means of lynching.
"She described perfectly the faces of
the lei and reported their conversation
as it was carried on. The result was
that Sweet went t. the first siding east
of Bismarck during the night and took
the first train out of the country.
"There was NC further opposition to the
entry of the townsite by the citizens
organization, though a compromise ar
rangement was made which gave the
railroad company one-half of the unoc-
cupied lots and gave the settlers 1.-THE lots
onlwhich they resided. Years afterward
one of the six men engaged in the con-
spiracy confessed to Colonel Sweet that
all that Alice Pencil claimed was true
and admitted the language she reported
in the trance state to him.

Kent's Time Approaching.
Myron r. Kents's lease of life, under
the present status of the case, is growing
uncomfortably short, there being blu
two weeks and two days remaining of the
time designated to intervene before the
execution takes place, remarks the
Forum. Judge Mcconnell will return
from his visit at Fremont, O., October
18, and the matter Jof the settlement of
the bill of exceptions will be taken up at
once, and will probably be disposed of
by stipulation. This will leave Attorneys
Hildreth and Barnett but six days to APP
ply for and secure the writ of error,
which in itself, if granted, acts as a writ
of supercedeas, and will stay the execu-
ton until after the meeting of the
supreme court in April, and even then,
in event the supreme court sustains the
trial court, the judgment cannot be car
ried out until June, just a year from the
date first fixed for the hanging. It may
be necessary to apply to Governor Allin
for a reprieve pending the action of the
supreme court on the application for the
writ of error.
The warrant of execution is IN the
hands of Sheriff Barnes and stipulatee
that the judgment shall be carried out
in the yard surrounding the Cass county
jail. 1t is understood that the gallows
will be erected between the Jail and
courthouse, inside of a temporary she'd.
Under the law the execution must be
private, witnessed only by twelve repu-
table citizens, and such peace officers as
the sheriff may deem necessary.

A Tough One.

"A AOuSn one.
Sheriff O'Connor of Grand Forks
brought William Cowie in Friday morn-
ing's train and turned him over to the
penitentiary authorities to serve a ten
year sentence. Cowie is a tough, and
his crime is a brutal one. He enticed a
companion into a barn, fell upon him
with a bludgeon and beat him into in
sensibility, and then robbed him of what
money and valuables he had. He was
apprehended almost Immediately, and
was convicted at Grand Forks a day or
two ago.
Another bird who will be brought up
in a day or so is Charles Ward who plead
guilty to the charge of grand larceny,
and was sentenced to three years in the
penitentiary. Ward stole jewelry from
St. Johns store at Lakota and brought
it over into Grand Forks county.

Sues the City

The complaint in a suit for S1750.45
with interest from the 10th day of Nov
ember 1881, was served on Mayor Leslie
Tuesday night, as representing the city of
Bismarck. The suit is brought by Mrs.
Linda w. Slaughter through her attor-
ney John +. Fort, and is for damages
alleged to have been sustained by
Mrs. Slaughter at the hands of the city
foruteen years ago.
In the fall of the year 1881, there we're
several cases Of small pox in the city.
An arrangement was made by the city
with Mrs. Slaughter, 80 the complaint
alleges, for a room in her house at
Villula to be used by one Of the persons
suffering from the disease, where he was
to be kept and nursed. The compen-
sation was to have been $1O0, and the
one room alone was to have been &C.
cupied by the patient and his wife, who
was to have nursed him.
On November 10, 50 the complaint
further alleges, the house was
broken open by the authorities, and the
small pox patient placed therein, without
any notice to the plaintiff. She had no
time to remove her household goods.
Instead Of but one nurse being employed
several men were placed on duty and
every in the house was occupied,

and the germs of disease disseminated
through every portion of the house.
When the patient died, all of the house
hold goods, dresses, books and belong
ing of the defendent, which were capable
of receiving disease germs, had to be
burned. Great loss therefore, ensued
to the plaintiff, through the negligence
and fault of the city. according to the
complaint, and the plaintiff asks dam
ages in the sum of 81, 75O.45 with interest.
This matter came up before the coun-
Gil some time ago, in the shape of a bill
from Mrs. Slaughter for damages sus-
tanned. The bill was referred, and nc
disposition has been made of it since
There was also filed with the city clerk
a schedule of the articles destroyed
with their values. The list was a long
one including an extensive library, mum.
erous articles of apparel and many
household articles aggregating in value
of the sun now sued for.
The city attorney will make answer
to the suit, and the case will probably
come up at the next term of court.

The Dakota Jack Rabbit.

From an Exchange.
The jack rabbit is prairie institution
that gives;the settlers dog plenty of ex-
ercise. When a settler sees jack rab-
bit for the first time starts him up sud
denly on the prailie-he imagines that by
a quick movement he can lay his hands
on him. The rabbit is awkward, appears
to be lame in every joint, holds up one
foot as though it panied him, and alto
gether creates the belief that he is a
delapidated wreck Of an ungainly, ami
mate thing. The settler is surprised that
he cannot grab him, The settlers
dog, also, is confident that he can quick
" make an end of the rabbit He bristles,
run leisurely toward the rabbit, doubles
his speed, doubles it again, triples that,
ouadruples the whole, when, 10! the rab
bit disappears. There is some flying
grass, a vanishing streak of light, a
twinkling of two prodded feet extending
rearward, and he is gone. The dog sits
on his launches and concludes that it
was dream, and that he did dot see
rabbit at all.
