sition Has a Working Majority.

terday's election was the closest one
in the history of the province. Returns
received up to noon to-day show that
neither the Government nor opposition
has secured a working majority. Sew
eral outlying precincts have not been
heard from. Under the most favorable
circumstances the Government will not
have a majority of over four. The op-
position claim a majority Of two and
possibly three. Two independent can
didates, who during the campaign

ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.
Domestic Annoyances Made A. j.
Burns Desperate.

Alfred J. Burns, who lives in the al
ley between Front and Second, and
0 streets, made an unsuccessful at
tempt to commit suicide at his home
yesterday evening by swallowing con-
siderable quantity of sulphuric ether.
Burns, who is a cook, has been out of
employment for some time, and was
respondent According to his story,
domestic trouble, in the shape of a
fourteen-year-old stepdaughter, has
also weighed on his mind and he de-
cided to end the worry and trouble Of
it ALL
He stated to Chief of Police Dwyer
that he and his wife had always got
along without trouble, but that his
stepdaughter was possessed Of sharp
tongue and upbraided him for failing
to provide for his family. Finally his
wife told him that if he could not get
work it would be better for them to
separate, and that she would take the
children and try to provide for them.
There are three children two of whom
were by Mrs. Burns first husband.
Yesterday Burns decided to commit
suicide, and after writing a note to his
wife he swallowed the poison. When
she returned he was unconscious. He
was taken to the Receiving Hospital,
where Assistant City Physician Ogden
went to work on him and finally got
him out Of danger.

ILLEGAL SHOOTING.
Arrest of Louis Petrz1ka for Kill
ing Dove.

Louis Petrzlka, a candy-maker, was
arrested yesterday for shooting doves
during the closed season. The arrest
was made by Deputy State Fish and
Game Commissioner Helms, who has
been posting himself as to localities
where the law is being violated.
Yesterday he went out on the up
per Stockton road, about six miles from
the city, and secreted himself behind a
fence to await results. Soon an outfit
came along the road from the direction
of the city, and just as it neared the
spot where Helms was in hiding a dove
ahghted on one of the fences.
The horse was stopped and the occu
pant of the vehicle got out his gun
and shot the bird. In an instant Helms
was on the spot and gathered in the
dove. He also gathered in the shooter,
who proved to be Louis Petrzlka.
Helms took his prisoner to town and
the latter will be arraigned to-day on
charge of misdemeanor in violating
the game law. Helms has saved the
bird as evidence.

being a prohibition State, jag wag-
ons" are provided by the various sa-
looms in Moorhead to transport prospec-
tive customers These places are the
favorite haunts of the more gay type,
and the women who ordinarily go 20
Fargo to obtain divorces are by no
means the quintescence of morality.
AS a result of association many
marriages take place Immediately after
the procurement of divorces by the dif-
ferent divorces. During one month
ten of the "disentangled ones married
their .'unfettered sisters" And they
are generally married right in Fargo.
That is the occasion for great festivity
among the less fortunate ones. The
weddings are generally attended by all
of similar ilk, pairing off in couples.
and holding high jinks at the reception
which follows the marriage ceremony,
which is usually held in the board
inghouse.
The townsfolk make it point to get
all the money possible out of .he di-
vorcees, from the expressman to the
druggist. Once it is learned you are
a ''divorcee," reasonable charge for
goods or accommodations of aIy kind
is out of the question. The usual
charge for transferring baggage is %
cents, but divorce" is charged
double that price, and so it is in all
lines of business.
So the life of the divorce" is a
hard one until one becomes Injured, and
before that state arrives it is time to
leave. At the present time there are
probably 200 in Fargo awaiting their
turn to be ground out in the divorce
| mill. The granting of a decree "a
vim culo matrimonie" in Fargo is
about the same asthe procurement Of
a warrant for the eviction of tenant
in municipal court. Have you your
| findings of fact?" asks the Judge
whereupon receiving an affirmative re-
| ply, in case there is no contest, he
| appends his signature to the docu-
ment without scarcely scanning its
contents and the deed is done, giving
| the applicant another chance to make
married life success or failure.
