Fargo last night. It was reported in
Fargo that the boys had received S 1000
each from home while there and would
make the rest of the trip to the coast
with plenty of money. This the two
boys state is a mistake. The conditions
under which they left home were that
they were to make their trip to Seattle
in five weeks without money, working
their way along the roads, and that
when they arrived at Seattle their par
ents would send them enough money to
procure a passage to Alaska. They
have done this much of their journey in
three weeks and have two weeks to
make their way to Seattle. While at
Fargo they received a remittance of s17
from some of their friends back east
who wished to help them along to that
extent.
The boys are from Bradford, Pa,
where they have comfortable homes but
the gold fever was too much for them,
hence their trip. They are II and Is
years of age, nice appearing youngsters,
and do not look as though they bad
ever seen many hard knocks.

P. r. Smiths Misfortune.

P. R. Smith, a we'll known resident of
this city, who has been in st. Paul for
some time. has been taken into custody
at st. Paul on complaint of DR.. Stone,
who believes that Smith is insane. The
st. Paul Globe says:
Smith is 60 years of age, and dur
ing frequent business trips tc St. Paul
has stopped at the Utopia flats, st.
Peter and Exchange streets. Yesterday
he became quite violent in his demeanor,
seeming to labor under the delusion
that people were trying to poison his
food. He purchased a revolver, with
which he threatened to take summary
vengeance upon his prosecutors. When
he was taken from his room last evening
the weapon was found in a bureau
drawer loaded.
Mr.. Smith has been ill for some years,
and his present misfortune is probably
due to his continued illness. His friends
in this city hope that the trouble may
be only temporary, and that treatment
may restore him to health and mentality.

A Golden Wedding.

Bismarck people will remember Sena-
tor J. W. Stevens of Dickey county, who
served in the state legislature four years
ago. Mr.. Stevens is now a resident of
San Diego, Cal, and recently celebrated
his golden wedding anniversary, of
which the San Diego Union says: On
the evening of January 6, Hon. James
w. Stevens and Susanna Stevens, his
wife, celebrated their golden wedding at
their home near Del Mar. Many friends
and neighbors gathered to congratulate
Mr.. and Mrs. Stevens and to witness
the re.marriage of the couple, whose
hearts are as young and full of hope as
when fifty years ago they started upon
the long journey together.
Promptly at 9 o'clock the ceremony,
which was performed by the Rev. Isaac
White according to the Episcopal form,
took place; Mrs. R. W. Waterman and
Mrs. George W.. Bennett acting as
bridesmaids, Hugh Frazer az best man,
while George Bennett gave the blushing
bride away, and in doing SO. like a knight
Grant of old, placed his hand upon his
heart. Both bride and groom wished
the word "obey'' ommitted from the SER
vice, and the groom refused to say "for
worse" it could only be "for better"
At the beginning of the ceremony,
Mr.. White read an exquisite poem which
he had written for the occasion. It was
greatly admired and Mr.. Stevens in
tends having it printed in Dakota,
where he served his state four years ago
as state senator.
Congratulations followed the very
pretty little service, and the old time
custom of kissing the bride was de-
cidedly in vogue. A bountiful supper
was served.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stevens are upwards Of
76 years old, and both are hale and Wig
orOue.

Reform School Board Meeting.

A meeting of the state reform school
board vas held at Mandan a few days
ago and the matter of issuance of bonds
for the building of an institution was
discussed. The president stated to the
board that while he with many others
hoped that the board through the law
passed by the last legislature, was en-
powered to issue bonds secured on the
10000 acres of land granted by the enabI-
ing act, for the building and maintenance
of a state reform school, the same as
the trustees of the jamestown insane
asylum had done, it was regretted
that this could not be done, as the law
passed in the interest of the reform
school was very lame and only empow-
cred the board to issue certificates of in
~debtedness bearing 6 per cent interest
per annum, said principal and interest
depending wholly on the sales and rem
tails from the 10000 acres set aeide for
the reform school, whereas the trustees
of both the insane asylum and indus
trial school at Glendale were by the
same legislature authorized to issue
bonds bearing 6 and 5 per cent interest
respectively, secured on the money re-
ceived from sales and rentals of the
lands set aside for these institutions,
but in case said sales and rentals prove
insufficient to meet this yearly interest
on bonds so issued, the state by the
same law guarantees the prompt pay
ment Of said interest out of the general
fund. The president regretted that

Funeral Director Was on Hand.
The. Mayville Tribune publishes this
excerpt from a letter written by Col
w. H. Robinson:
"Ihere was a very amusing incident
connected with my accident. AS I fell
from the car to the street, they had to
carry me from the middle of the street
to the curling to wait for a carriage
and one of the gentlemen, who kindly
assisted me over, after placing me on
the grass under the trees, said: Pardon
me, but there is my card, in ease You
should. need my services I thanked
him and placed the card in my pocket
without glancing at it. The next day
Mr.. Springer, who also assisted me
over, asked me what was on the card
the gentleman handed me. I told him
l had not looked at it, but he would find
it in my pocket. Out of curiosity they
looked up the card and found a very
neatly engraved card as follows: John
G. Fisher, Funeral Director, 311 Main
Street, Los Angeles, Cal. I am glad to
say that up to date, I have not found it
necessary to call the gentleman. Never
theless, I a not help but admire the
enterprise of the fellow"

Fargo's New Car Line.


The Minneapolis Tribune thus "remi-
nisces" at the expense of Fargo's pro-
posed new street car line: Fargo is to
have another street car line. It used to
have one in the good old boom days of
the early SOS, but it's last operation was
on the occasion of the visit of the capitol
commission in the summer of 1883.
Fargo vas determined to put it's best
foot forward in honor Of it's distinguished
visitors, and the only piece of rolling
stock the line possessed was dragged
from the shed where it had been side
tracked for lack of patronage and all

hauled it up and down what there was

venture to take a ride while several

put in the day travelling back and forth
to keep the driver from getting lone

posed new line, with a population of
10000 people and an area of several
miles to draw from, will undoubtedly
prove a success.

A School Girls. Nerves,
From the "New Era" Greensburo. Ind.

Mothers who have young daughters of
school age should watch their health more
carefully than their studies. The proper
development of their body is of the first i'm.
portance. After the confinement of the
school room, plenty of out.of:door exercise
should be taken. It is better that their
children never learn their h, b, c's, than that
by learning them they lose their health.
But all this is self.evident. Everyone
admits it-everyone knows it, but everyone
does not know how to build them up when
once they are broken down. The following
method of one mother, if rightly applied,
may save your daughter:
The young lady was Miss Lucy Barnes,
the ffteen-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Stephen Barnes, who lives near Bur.
ney, Ind. She is a bright young lady, is
fond Of books, although her progress in this
line has been considerably retarded by the
considerable amount of sickness she has ex.
perienced. She has missed two years OF
school on account of her bad health, but now
she viii! be able to pursue her studies, since
her health has been restored.
Her father was talking of her case to q
newspaper. man one day recently. "My
daughter has had a very scrio2s time of it,
said MIR. Barnes, but now we are all happy
to know that she is getting along all right
and is stronger than ever" Asked to relate
the story of his daughter, Mr.. Barnes con.
was twelve years old, she began to grow
weak and nervous. It was, of course, a deli.
cate age for her. She gradually grew weake,
and her nerves were at such n tension that
the least little noise would ~irritate her very
much, and she was very miserable. There

Big PER CENT OF LOSS
Insurance Companies Do Not Make

Percentage of Losses Incurred to

Notwithstanding This All of the Com

Comparative Insurance Business,

SVAAIoA oSAvC 4LSuI 6UCS ouSlUCSSs
The annual reports to December 81,
1897. of all fire insurance companies
that transacted business in the state
have been filed with the insurance de-
partment. A comparison of the last two
years business will be of interest to the
public, said Deputy T. II. Poole today.
On January l, 1897, thirty.four com.
panies reported with the following bust
ness done in North Dakota:
Risks written SCOOPS, 739 63
Premiums received. $3.50. 449,459 70
Losses incurred ....,. 153.722 "a
Losses paid .......... 138,945 Is
The ratio of losses incurred to premi-
ums received was "a OF per cent.
On January l, 1898, forty-dne COM
panies reported with the following bust
ness:
Risks written .s24, 84O,517 76
Premiums received. ...... 491,33O 80
Losses incurred. ....... 49, 61 SIS
Losses paid. 3333, 27O 46
Ratio of losses incurred to premiums
received 1857 per cent.
The business of 1896 resulted profit
ably for the insurance companies. With
the revival and improvement in bust
ness of all classes and increased immi-
grafton into the state, thus broadening
the held for fire insurance by increased
and improved risks, the business of 1897
increased $4,000 90, or 20 per cent more
risks were written than in 1886. The
past year has been an unusual one for
loss by fire. The losses incurred have
been far greater than any year since
statehood with one exception, that of
1893, the year of the Fargo fire. The
ratio of losses incurred to premiums re-
ceived increased from 34.O2 per cent in
1896 to 1851 per cent in 1897, OCCASION
ed in a large degree by the Grand Forks
fire. While the year 1897 has resulted
so unprofitably to the companies they
recognize the state as a good field for
business, better buildings are being or
have been built to take the place of
those destroyed and that the state is
rapidly going forward. AS evidence of
this all companies authorized for 1897
without an exception have made appli-
cation for renewal of authority for the
| year 1898; besides many new companies
are seeking to comply with the insur-
| ance laws of the state.

under the law as passed it would hardly
be possible for the board to place a loan,
although the sec urity for the $4,000
this board needed, is 10000 acres against
10000 acres for $40, 600 in the case of the
insane asylum. He suggested that the
secretary be instructed to interest some
parties to make the state of North Da-
kota this much needed loan, the securi-
ties being ample in every way, although
the interest may not be as promptly
paid, or guaranteed by the state of
North Dakota. This was done.
