Five women were elected school
directors in various wards at the election
in Philadelphia last week. The Record
says: THE victory in this field was
not AS sweeping as it should have been,
but it will serve to insure Improvement
both in the management OF the schools
and in the character Of the Sectional
Boards; for even where the women
failed OF election the effect of their can
didacy was to force the Democratic and
Republican leaders to put forward a
better class OF masculine candidates
than they would otherwise have done"

An Explanation.
DEEMER's CROSS ROADS, Feb. 10, '97.

EDITOR STAR
There seems to be tendency among
the uninitiated in this section to Gen.
sure severely Deemer's X Roads Coun-
cil No. 604, Jr. o. U. A. NJ, for alleged
dereliction Of duty relative TO the pay
of its members, Geo. NJ. Reed. The
public having heard but one side of the
case, jumps at conclusions and renders
its verdict prematurely: therefore we,
the undersigned, deem IL our duty to
state the facts In the case and set the
matter right before the people. Our
Council has yet the first time to refuse
payment Of benefits to members when
constitutionally entitled thereto, and a
careful perusal Of the statement given
below. In connection with an extract
from our laws governing similar cases,
will convince our friends rs to the equi-
| ~ Of our action in this matter. We
regret that We have to adopt this meth
cd Of setting the matter straight, but
find it to be the only way in which so
to do. Below find statements:
Geo. M. Reed was initiated Oct. l6,
1891: suspended for non-payment of
dues, Oct. |, 1895: amount Of indebted
ness during this time. S22 80; amount of
credits during this time, Sli.50; balance
due Council at suspension. $500. The
brother applied and was reinstated un-
der dispensation May ., 1896, at fee of
sl.O0: 3s weeks dues, at l0c. per week,
$3.50: total $3.50. The brother took
sick some time in December, 1896, aud
afterwards paid in $500. When he was
taken sick the balance due the Council
was S2.7O, and at death balance OF
Sl.S0. The Council paid for nurse hire
during his sickness $l4.00. The follow
ing is an extract from our laws which
will show that the brother was not
entitled to benefits, he not having be.
longed to the Council the required one
year from date Of reinstation; also. not
being In good standing, being over three
months in arrears for dues.
ARTICLE X-CONSTITUTION.
Sec. 8. Any brother who is thirteen
weeks in arrears for weekly dues and
shall become sick or disabled. and apply
for the benefits of this Council. shal
not be entitled to receive any of said
benefits during such sickness or disabil
ity, nor shall he, In case of death, be
entitled to any funeral benefits.
ARTICLE XI--BY-LAwS.
Sec. 2. Every person who may be
elected for reinstation into this Council
shall pay the same fee as new initia
tive of the same age and in such case
shall not be beneficial for twelve
months; or II he pays all arrearages and
claims against him at the time Of his
suspension, he shall become entitled tt
benefits at the expiration of foul
months.
The above is Il correct statement o
the facts in the above case and the laws
governing the same, as laid down by
the State and National Councils. Every
member is provided with copy of these
laws and consequently can blame no one
for derelicton of duty. We are sorry
that anything like this has occurred IL
the history Of our Council, but trust
that the above statement will set the
matter right before the public
Respectfully.

Gill, the sixteen year-old daughter Of
8 well-known Ramsey county farmer,
and John Mclean, Of Church's Ferry,
were on their way to Grand Forks to
be married, accompanied by Ella Hin
cerert and Neil Mclean. The pros
pective BRIDES parents objected to the
match and an elopement had according
ly been planned and carried almost to
a successful elimination. but tele
gram from Church's Ferry spoiled their
programme, and when the train arrived
at Larrimore an officer arrested the
party. Incident to the arrest of the
party, as they left the car Il travelling
man noticed a pocketbook on one Of
the seats occupied by them. He called
their attention to it and one Of the

him. AS the train neared Grand Forks

way from Kalispel to attend school in

front of the clipping couples, awoke

her pocketbook containing her ticket

ALLEGED Crooked Banking.

Fargo, N. D., Special.-While no pub
lie report has been made to the grand
jury, it is a matter of common report
around the city that President Sal
yards, of the Minot National bauk, has
again been indicted on matters con-
corning the administration of affairs
Of that institution. Some months ago
he was indicted for alleged violations Of
the national banking law, and was to
have been tried at this term on that in
dictment. His offense seems to have
consisted in accepting stock as collat-
eral for loans. Vice President Arnold
and Cashier Page were indicted at the
same time. 1t is reported now that
these gentlemen, to shield themselves,
have turned states evidence against
President Salyards before the present
grand jury and have made such Il
strong case that the members Of that
body had no hesita,lcy in reporting the
Indictment. 1t Is matter of consd-
cradle surprise to those who know
these men, that they would protect
themselves in this manner, and sympa-
thy exists for Salyards in having be-
come entangled in such combination.
Vice President Arnold is young son
of Chicago financier who started him
in business ut Minot. and he will prob
ably return East as soon as permitted.
Other witnesses from Minot are on the
scene and the new indictments have
created something Of Il sensation.

Under Suspicion.

Bismarck, N. D., Special. - 1t Is
stated that there is at last pretty di-
rect evidence as to the perpetrator of
the repeated outrages on Editor Moi
fet. About a year ago Il somewhat
notorious thug from one of the valley
counties was discharged from the pen,
and, instead of returning home, for
which transportation was provided, he
remained in the city. With others he
was instrumental in having charges Of
cruelty circulated against Warden
Wilson. of the pen. and was generally
regarded as the plant tool of the op-
position to Wilson. 1t is held that he
still continues to be the willing medi-
UNI through whom all the dirty work
of a certain gang is transacted and
that he is literally paid for his dirty
work. He is held responsible for the
wrecking of the Settler plant and also
for the more recent shooting at Editor
Moffet. Much indignation is expressed
over the matter and the ex-convict
may be gathered in if there is any
hope OF securing his punishment. The
opposition to Moffet is circulating the
same old reports that they did at the
time of the wrecking of his plant-that
he put up the job himself and had a
friend to make the grand stand play.
This is, of course. mere talk, as no I'M
prejudiced person takes any stock in
the report. In fact there is a we'll
founded suspicion that the gang in
tend to drive MOffet out Of Bismarck,
if they have to do it with the editor as
the star occupant of il hcarSc.

into view and made directly for the
place of concealment. The hunter
fired once. the ball striking the animal
in the breast. only causing a wound.
The shell stuck in the rifle which pre-
vented a second shot. The hunter
made quick run for log, managing
to extract the shell on the way. The
bear was in hot pursuit and Mr.. Van
Blondin had just time to turn and fire
as it plunged over the log. The bullet
struck it squarely in the head. killing
it instantly. He considers it a very
fair deer hunt and he shows with
considerable pride to his friends the
large skin and the bears head.

of the county treasurers, giving de-
scriptions of lots and parcels of land
upon which the taxes are delinquent.
and which will be sold for taxes. In
many instances the lists are much
shorter than those of prior years,
showing that taxes are being paid
more freely throughout the state than
during former years. In many counties
tax collections have never been better,
and there is every indication that the
state has entered upon a more pros
porous condition of affairs than ever
