D NECESSITIES.

The world will always want some
thing to req and something to eat,
and shelter and III for the body, and
knowledge for the mind and religion
for the SOU. And all these things will
continue to be the necessaries, and if
you faSten your energies upon cup
tons and professions thus related, the
world world will be unable to do with
out you. Remember, that IN proper
ton as you are skillful in anything
your rivalries become less. For I'M
skilled toll there are women by the
millions. But you may rise to where
there are ony thousands, and still high
er till there are only 100, and still high
.er till there are only 10, and still high
er, in some particular department till
there is only a unit, and that yourself.
For awhile you may keep wages and a
place through the kindly sympathy Of
an employer, but you will eventually
get no more compensation than you
can make yourself worth.
Let me say to all women who have
already entered upon the battle of life
that the time is coming when women
shall not only get as much salary and
wages as men get, but for certain
styles of employment women will have
higher salary and more wages, for the

| they have mor adaptation. But this
justice will come to, woman not through
any sentiment of gallantry, not be-
cause woman is physically weaker
than man, n therefore ought to have
more consideration shown her, but be-
cause through her fnal natural taste
| and more grace Of manner and quicker
| perception and more delicate touch and
more educated adroitness, she will, in
| certain callings, be to her employer
worth 10 per cent. more or 20 per cent
more than the other sex. She Will not
get 1t by asking for it, but by earning
it, and it shall be hersby lawful con
! quest.
Now, men Of America, be air and
give the women a chance. Are you
afraid that they viii do some of your
work and hence harm your prosperi-
ties?- Remember that there are scores
Of thousands OF men doing women's
work. Do not be afraid. God knows
the end from b beginning, and he
knows how many people this world

Insurance LexislMtion.

Grand Forks, N. D.-The matter of
the valued policy clause in the fire i'll
surance laws Of this state is again at
tracing some attention, and an effort
will be made at the next session Of the
legislature to have a law enacted sim
ilar to the one now in force in Mime
sofa, prohibiting the insertion in any
policy issued on a building Of a clause
authorizing the company to pay a less
sum than the total amount of the in
surance in case the loss is total. III
North Dakota there is no such law.
and there is nothing to prevent an I'M
scrupulous agent from taking advan-
tage of an ignorant property owner
and issuing him a policy for more
than the value of his buildings. and,
in case of loss, the payment is based,
not on the amount Of the insurance,
but on the value OF the property. The
insured has, in the meantime. paid
premiums on the larger amount. Un-
der the Minnesota law the company
pays the face Of the policy or replaces
the property. A bill to amend the
North Dakota law to make it conform
to that Of Minnesota, was introduced
at the last session OF the legislature.
but was defeated. A similar bill will
be introduced next winter.

january In North Dakota.

Lisbon, n. D.-The remarkably fine
weather which ushered in the month Of
January continued uninterruptedly IN
til its close, and made a record for
salubrity never before equaled in North
Dakota for the same time of year.
While there were no very warm days,
and certainly no stormy or severe ones,
the moderate temperature day after
day throughout the entire month was
not only delightful but surprising. The
maximum shade temperature indicated
at the Lisbon weather Office was AZ
deg. on the 9Th Of the month, and the
minimum reached IL deg. below zero
on the morning Of the Goth. But the
most remarkable feature of the month
was its great dryness. While the av-
erage precipitation in North Dakota for
the month of January for many years
Is about two.thirds of an inch of melted
snow, this year at Lisbon it was only
.O2 OF an inch, the smallest on record
virtually none. OF course, there is no
snow on the ground, and the land is
very dry, and the roads as dusty as in
q dry summer.

= Fargo, N. D.-The next legislature
will be asked to create a new judicial
district out of the present third dis
trict, which now comprises Cass,
Trail and Steele counties. Cass d
Trail are two of the largest counties
in the valley. They are very popuious,
and, being among the oldest settleu
communities the legal business is oil
stantly increasing. When Judge FOL
lock assumed his duties a year 8 ne
found d heavy calendar in all tne
counties and has worked almost nlsnt
and day since, besides calling III cth.
er judges to assist him. At. the emu OF
a years labor he finds himself almost
as far behind as eve There are now
over q hundred cases in this county
alone that are ready for & hearing.
Fargo is the largest city in the state
and in addition to the lead in other dl-
rections it probably leads in the legal
business as well. 1t is impossible 1or
one man to do the work OF the entire
district, and do it properly. Cass coun-
ty alone, with the large number OIL
small towns outside of Fargo, fur-
n:shes enough business to keep Il
Judge hard at work. lie increasing
legal work requires the continuous
presence of one member of the bench
here, and the division of the district
will be heartily supported here. The
idea is to place Trail and Steele coun-
ties together. leaving Cass alone. Hon.
Il. w. Ames Of Mayville would prob
ably be the man selected for the
bench. He was Judge Pollock's op..
ponent for the position and is one ot
the ablest attorney. in tic state.

Accidental Happenings.

Frederick Vining, single, thirty years

A three-masted schooner, believed to

thought to have been drowned. The
vessel is a total loss.
The retaining plant Of the United
States Rubber company at Naugatuck,
Conn. burned, entailing a loss of more
than 100000 partly insured. Most Of
the rubber mills in the country are de-
pendent upon this plant for stock and
some may have to shut down.
The steamer Berlin, which arrived at
Antwerp after u passage of ten days

Larimore Institution Compelled t"

Larimore, N. D.-The First National
bank of this city has failed to open
it's doors for business. From what
can be gathered from the officials it
appears that the bank has not been
in an easy condition for some time,
owing to slow collections. During the
last sixty days there have been with
drawals of deposits amounting to $780,
600. Strenuous efforts have been
made by the management to meet
these demands, but, as there was no
prospect of relief. the board of d.
rectors unanimously agreed that the
interests Of all conserved would be
best subserved by closing the doors OF
the bank and notifying the controller
of the currency Of the condition of af-
fairs. The assets Of the baIS are
said to be largely in excess of the liz
bilities, so that the creditors may en-
pect to be paid off as O as the at
fairs can be liquidated.

The cities Of the country are going
more and more deeply into debt for
improvement and to a less and less ex-
tent apparently are disposed to pay as
they go. They are being run on the
method of the improvident railway cor

rent earnings to improvements that
can in anywise be deemed measuraEly
permanent and charged to capital ac-
count. Meantime it is to be noted that
the market for these securities is large
to the point almost of being Unsuitable.

Good and healthy girls are almost

the girls who do not laugh now and

not save them. A belle who fails to

CRUM DISCARDED.
End of a Case Which Has Attracted
All Over N. ID.

All OVer N. IL
Fargo, N. D.-A decision was re-
ceived in the disbarment proceedings
against Taylor Crum Of Fargo. The or
der Of the court is that Crum be dis
barred from practicing law in this
state.
The first disbarment proceedings
were begun against Crum in 1892, but
were dropped until last fall, when he
called Judge Pollock a II in open
court. For this he was sentenced to
thirty days in the county Jail and to
pay a fine of $500. He appealed. but
the incident caused so much indigna-
ton that the disbarment proceedings
were revived and the Pollock matter
added as supplementary proceedings.
The case has attracted unusual atten-
ton over the state, as Crum is a prom
inent Democrat and was once the NOM
inee of the party for congress. His
wife is an attorney and can appear in
court while Crum prepares cases.
