Some Good Advice.

An exchange gives this advice to girls:
Don't hang around the depot unless
you are going away or meeting friends;
don't go to church and take back seat
with your escort, and then whisper and
Qiggle during the service. Don't be
loud, boisterous or slsngy. Stand on
your dignity; don't form acquaintances
quickly. Don't carry your heart in your
sleeve, and don'l throw yourself into
the arms of every good looking drum
mer or we'll dressed stranger who comes
to town. Be womanly, be modest, be
thoughtful and serious at times, don't
unsex yourself and thus lose woman's
sweetest charm. Don't regard your
long legged brother as nuisance; don't
turn up your nose at your old father
and bis poor grammar and, above all,
don't play "A Hot Time" on the piano
when your good old mother is having q
bot time on the wash tub. 1t ls too
suggestive.

admitted to practice before the
supreme court, the latter as states at
torney, and will appear for the state in
the case OF Norman Msrkuson against
N. F. Boucher, warden Of the peniten-
tiary at Bismarck. In this case Marku-
son was under Injunction in proceed
ings against him for violation OF the
prohibition law Of the state. He was
sentenced by the court to a years i'm
prisonment for contempt, and sentence
was suspended by United States dis.
trict Judge Amidon, who dismissed the
writ Of habeas corpus. An appeal was
taken to the United States supreme
court and the case will be heard next
week. Violations of state and federal
constitutions are alleged, and the case is
of much interest to North Dakota.

How the Bank Went Bump.

In the Booker trial at Fargo George
Shuts, formerly cashier of the Grand
Forks bank, and now of Washington,
was star witness for the prosecution
Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning.
Among the deals related by Shuts was
the scheme to purchase the orders OF the
Cherokee Indians in the Indian Terri
tory for their allotment OF the sc, 600 600
IN '94. The plan WAS to purchase the
orders at discount, get the checks on
the sub-treasury and pocket nice
profit, Shuts and George Walsh went
down there. The business was profitable
for time until the Indians got foxy and
gave duplicate orders for their shares.
Shuts got some second orders and lost
money on the deal. They used up $685.
600 10 this transaction though the loss
on the orders was much smaller sum.
Later on $4,000 was placed to Shuts
credit in Chicago bank.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Shuts testi-
fed that there had never been settle
ment on the amounts. When he re
turned home in the fall of '94 be reported
the losses, but still thought he could
collect on the orders and returned III
November to Ft. Smith, Ark. He failed
to realize and wrote Mr.. Booker. There
had never been formal agreement.
