Remarkably Cold Weather.

The present extreme cold weather, so
long continued, is almost unprecedented
in the history and records of the local
weather bureau. Tuesday night the
thermometer got down to 36 degrees be-
low zero by the government thermome-
tiers, and this is equivalent to a tempera-
ture of below 40, if registered by the Or
binary thermometers in use about the
city. The extremely low temperature
was accompanied by a biting wind, max
ing the cold almost unbearablc. For
the past fourteen days, the minimum
temperature has ranged from IL to 36
below zero. For the past twelve days
the minimum temperature has ranged
20 degrees below or lower, and only on
three days out of the past two weeks
has the thermometer at any time gotten
above the zero mark. Since the first of
February the thermometer has not reg
istered above zero at any time. The fol-
lowing table, published through the
courtesy of Observer Bronson of the
weather bureau shows the maximum
and minimum temperature for each day
for the past two weeks, which will give
an idea of the state of weather:

of the body and one feels tired and de-
pressed, the use of Paine's celery CON-
pound will drive away the rheumatism
pain orithe fit of indigestion and correct
the failing appetite which keeps pace SO
closely with the digestive power.
Here is a heartfelt letter as it was
written On Dec. IL last by Mrs. William
Nelson, who is cashier of the central re-
lief committee of Chicago:
"Gentlemen:-I have used Paine's
celery compound several times for the
past two years for liver and kidney
trouble: l have swelled up and felt sick
and bad. The doctors medicines never
helped me, but Paine's celery compound
always did. There is nothing like it.
1t is splendid"
Nerve tension is disguised under a
good many symptoms that induce
thoughtless people to apply some useless
local remedy when the only lasting re-
lief will come from purified blood. kid
neys aroused to work, stomach secretinp
abundance of digestive juices and a
toned.up state of the nerves. For this
there is no need of further proof as to
the value of Paine's celery compound
than can be furnished by the readers
own neighbors if you will take the pains
to make inquiries. The best test Of the
value OF Paine's celery compound is to
try it.

The profound and comprehensive in
designations of Prof. Edward E. Philips,
the discoverer of Paine's celery. com.
pound, have robbed disease of much of
its alarming character.
Nature has provided. in the liver a
safeguard without which every one
would die from the slightest imprudence
in diet, The blood loaded with poisons
reaches the liver. the excreting function
of that organ arrests them and they are
thrown back to the bowels. This is the
action of the healthy liver, but this per
petual overwork at last does what over
functional activity does for other organs
-impairs or destroys their excreting
power and opens the door to Bright's
disease and diabetes. Paine's celery
compound enables the liver to work with
out tearing itself to pieces. 1t supplies
nervous energy to the organ and pre-
vents irritation. 1t purifies the blood
and does not leave the whole purifying
task to one organ, whether liver, kidney
or bowels. 1t obviates the collapse of
any one of these organs, and prevents
disease.
It not only regulates the nervous or
ganization, but directly nourishes it;
sends more and better blood to supply
the wasted nervous tissues and takes the
killing strain from the kidneys.
When pains appear in different parts

House Goes Into Executive Session
Yesterday to Consider the Re-
quest of Judge Glaspell.
Resolution That the House has no Fact
Before It on Which to Base
Any Action.
Matter Disposed of by a Motion to Lay
the Petition and Resolution on
the Table.
The Glaspell Matter.
From Thursdays Daily

From Thursdays Daily
The house went into executive session
yesterday afternoon for the considera-
ton of the request of Judge Glaspell
that a committee be appointed to inves.
tigate the charges and rumors deroga-
tory of his official conduct as a member
of the district bench of the state. When
the request was presented the house
went into secret session and all other
than members were excluded. The door
was guarded by Sergeant-at-Arms Well
man, and the interested outsiders stood
at n distance from the door and looked
through the glass-that was as near as
they were allowed to get to the proceed
ings.
The petition OF the judge for an inves-
tigating committee, according to the re-
ports of the matter, related the facts of
the allegations against him, in news,
papers and by rumors and asked for an
investigating committee. The request
was presented by Representative Nc
Harg, who also presented a resolution
that the charges were not before the
house in any way, and there was moth.
ing officially brought to their attention
that warranted any investigation.
The matter was discussed for a con
siderable time in the secret session and q
number of the membersspoke concerning
it. 1t is stated n motion was made fol
the appointment of a committee, after
the motion forthe adoption of the resolu
ton, and it was lost, the matter being
finally disposed of by Il motion to lay
the whole matter on the table which was
carried.
The objections that are made to the
passage of the resolution are that the
whole matter is not a proper n to come
before the Legislative assembly in any
way. No charges of any kind have been
made in any that warrants a re.
quest of the legislature to investigate
them Or action by the legislature in
granting such a request. Then it is ar.
gued that it the request were considered
and the resolution stating the absence
of any charges that the legislature could
or should investigate were of record the
inference might be drawn that the legis
lature had declared against the charges
and inferentiallv indicated the Judge
without any trial or investigation-anc
that in it's present status, the nous.
should take no c%ognizance of the mat
ter whatever-either to the interest OF
prejudice of any one.
1t is understood that Representative
McHarg will move the matter in tn
open session of the house this morning
on the ground that the right of petition
cannot be denied and that while tn
house may have no authority to act o
consider the request, the resolution t.
should be considered in the open ses
session.

Want North Dakota Represented.

st. Paul, Feb. 7.-Senator Marshall
and colleagues of the North Dakota leg
i%slature addressed an inquiry to Attorney
General Douglas relative to the POSSIBLE
ity of securing a representative from
their state on the board of appeals pro-
vided under the McCollom bill for grain
inspection. The object of the bill is to
constitute some authority through
which all questions arising over grading
of grain may be referred in case of dis
putes. North Dakotan's approve of it
thoroughly, but have been anxious for
representation in its membership. Mr..
Douglas did not have time to make a
thorough examination of the law, but
went far enough to establish his
own convictions that would be
opposed to complying with J the re-
quest of the North Dakotans. Sena-
tor. Marshall Immediately announc-
ed the intention of himself and his as
s~ociates to pass legislation which would
authorize a permanent representative of
their own state to maintain an official in
Minnesota and locate here for the pur-
pose of attending unoficially to all sit
tings of the board of appeals, in case the
McCollom bill becomes a law. 1t is I'm
derstood that the measure is regarded
with favor and that the grain and ware
house commission will meet and vote
favorably. The scheme suggested in the
bill includes a board Of appeals of three
members at Minneapolis and another of
the same size at Duluth. two to act con-
jointly in fixing grades.

and the end is not yet. Tuesday morn
ing at 10 o'clock the case was called. Ev-
idence was first introduced to show that
the books and records lately removed
from Williamsport to Linton forcibly
had been returned and that everything
had again been fixed up at the court
house, which in the enthusiasm attend
ant upon the removal had been slightly
distigured, a big breach being made in
one OF the walls. An adjournment was
then taken until Z o'clock.
The attorneys for the principals then
presented their argument, and after
hearing it Judge Winchester decided to
dissolve the injunction which had been
issued to restrain the removal of
the books and records from Williams
port pending an investigation. The
plaintiffs served notice of an appeal to
the supreme court. The removal will
now be made from Williamsport to Lin
ton and the defendants profess to be-
lievc that the case will be dropped be-
fore it reaches the supreme court.

you for the kindness shown me. I am
sure that the other boys feel the same at
being so kindly remembered. The fruit
cake and milk are articles we do not get
out here, and were a great luxury to us.
The other articles are things that are
very useful and a soldier ought not to
be without them.
The boys are all we'll with the excep-
ton OF three or four, who are,at the hos
pltal, but will soon be with, us again as
they are rapidly regainlng their health.
Rumor says that we, are soon to start for

ROBBED THE GRAVE.

A startling accident, of which Mr..
John oliver of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him MS follows:
II was in a most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes
sunken, tongue coated, pain contin-
ualy in back and sides, no appetite
gradually growing weaker day by
day. Three physicians had given me
up. Fortunately, q friend advised
trying Electric Bitters," and to my
great joy and surprise, the first bottle
made a decided improvement. 1 con-
tinued their use for three weeks and
10Y am q we'll man. l know they
saved my life, and robbed the grave of

DIRECT LEGISLATION.
What Hon. LA. Iceland Has to Say
About the Pronosition.

WHAT L. a. Uelano SaS to Say
About the Proposition.
An amendment. to the constitution
providing for direct legislation has Been
introduced in the legislative assembly.
It provides that laws passed by the leg
%islative assembly shall be submitted at a
special election before July 1, when petit
toned for by five, per cent of the voters
who canpropose.a new law and have it
voted on at ageneral election, and fifteen
percent can propose an amendment to the
constitution and have it, referred at a
general election.
Hon. L. A. LELAND who is one of the
officers in the o PARTISAN "National
Direct Legislation League" is urging the
passage of this measure and seems to be
hopeful of getting it passed. He says:
THE fact that the fusion party has en-
dorsed direct legislation does, not make
this a party measure unless the republic
cans would turn it into one by a solid
opposition which is not reasonable.
There is no doubt that the principles of
direct legislation is gaining in public
favor as its merits are getting better un-
derstood.
A OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES is now passing
a law for carrying into effect the amend
ment adopted in South Dakota last fall.
The initiative and referendum has also
been adopted in some of the new city
charters in a more or less perfect form.
1t works to perfection in Switzerland
and would be of greater service in a
large country like the United States.
For bXthis method any question of i'm.
portance goes before the people in a
direct and simple way without being
mixed up ~with'several others which is
the case under our present system. Sure
~ no one who fully believes with Lin
coin in a government of the people, by
the people and for the people, can con.
sistently oppose direct legislation"

Letter of Thanks.

The following letter from Manila, un-
signed, shows that the boys who had no
relatives, and received Christmas boxes,

To the Ladies of Bismarck:
Allow me to express my thanks to the
