BURIED.
Victims of the Emmons County Murder
and Suicide are Consigned to
the Tomb.

The coroner has held an inquest on
the bodies of James and Joe Caldwell
who met violent deaths in Emmons
county a week or SO ago, as a result Of
a murder and suicide but at neither
inquest was anything developed that
would shed any light on the tragedies
further than has already been stated.
The examination of the body of Joe
Caldwell shows that he was shot with
a shotgun, the. charge passing through
the bowels. 1t is generally agreed
through the county that Jim Caldwell
who did the shooting, was insane and
partially irresponsible, having been
deaf and morbidly suspicious and SEN
sitive for years. The bodies of the
two brothers were buried side by side
in the cemetery at Beaver Creek.

HEAVY RAINS.
from Wednesdays Daily.l
Unusually Heavy Rain in the City Last
Night, and Some Damage from
Overflows.

Somebody wrung out a large and
juicy rain cloud directly over Bis
marck last evening. The rain began
at Il little after 6 and until Z. or nearly
so, the rain fell so thickly the drops
jostled each other as they fell. The
air was full of lakes and rivers and
oceans. 1t was one of the rainiest rains
that we have record of since the time
of Noah.
While it vas raining n great deal Of
water fell. 1t fell so rapidly it could
not find room to run Off and began to
pile up in various localities. After the
storm was ove and the water came
down from the highlands. there was q
gigantic lake along Broadway from
Fourth street east as far as the eye
could see. There was enough rain
water in the down town district to
clean up the Philippine insurrection-
lists.
The water rose for some time after
the shower ceased. 1t was dewier
than Dewey Day. At the Kupitz
building. there was a young river in
the drain along Broadway that threat
ened to rise ovcr the sidewalks. At
the Tribune building also the flood
bored holes in the ground and threat
ened damage. II. d. HOskins stood
guard with Il broom during the storm
and swept back the angry waters.
The water was finally diverted from
the buildings and a portion of it
directed into the basement of the site
of the old Merchants building. which
this morning is full to the top and
looks like Il young fish pond or IL
putfed up aquarium.
The basement of the Lamborn hos
Dital suffered Il little. some of the
surplus water entering there. But
members Of the fire department We're
active and their energy prevented
much greater damage in many locali-
ties. The Healy store suffered some
what. and the new Mckenzie building
got Il wetting. The buildings along
Fourth street from Broadway to Main
were surrounded by Il lake of water.
the sidewalks atlOat. and there was Il
foot of water on the floors.
In the lower districts of the city,
barns and other buildings We're flooded.
\ pedestrian at the corner Of Main
street and Fourth fell into an i'm
promptu lake and went down until he
thought he should start back to catch
the early train west. He reported
the water wet all the way down.

thing. it seems to be the general i'm

NEW COMPANY.
Northwestern Fire and Marine 1nsur.
ance Company Has Required
Capital Paid.

Insurance Commissioner Harrison
left last night for Lisbon where he Will
spend Sunday with his family. From
there he will go to Grand Forks to in
quire into the affairs of the North
western Fire and Marine Insurance
company, which was organized some
time ago. The company informs the
commissioner that the required $25,OOO
Of its capital stock has been paid in,
and the law requires the commissioner
to ascertain this fact by examination
before the issuance Of a certificate of
authority to do business. The com
pany is the largest insurance company
organized in the state and its capital
stock is 100000, Of which one-quarter
has been paid in and the balance is to
be paid within twelve months. The
organization of the company is similar
to that Of the st. Paul Fire and Ma
rine and it will do a general fire and
hail insurance business.

The uba Dance.

The Cuban dance is a peculiar n when
viewed through American eyes, for it is 10
totally different from any of our dances.
There is only the one step, and that one is
a sort of mixture Of Indian, Turkish and
Chinese. The couple rarely use more
than three or four square feet Of space and
dance continually, with little short inter-
missions of possibly Is seconds, during
which they merely stand in their places
and rest.
Two orchestras play continually, one
taking up the music as the other ceases.
The music is almost identical with some
that I have heard at the dances of our In
dian. tribes in Arizona and New Mexico,

DOUBTS AS TO THE DATE.
Difference of Opinion as to Whel
Ohio Became q State.

Difference of Opinion as to When
Ohio Became a State.
There is some doubt as to the exact date
upon which Ohio became a state. Ohio
never was a separate territory" being a
part Of the northwest territory. In 1901
the people living in the portion of the
northwest territory now embraced in the
state of Ohio called a convention to frame
q state constitution for the district which
had set up q claim to statehood under
the provisions Of the fifth article Of the
ordinance of 1887. That convention met
in Chillicothe on Nov. /, 1902, and on
Nov. 20 completed it's work. The consti-
tuition thus framed was not submitted to
the people, but was declared ratified by
the convention itself.
On Feb. II, 1903, the United States con-
gress passed an act admitting Ohio into
the Union as q state, said act becoming
operative upon the assembling of the first
state legislature at Chillicothe. The first
state legislature met at Chillicothe at 10
a. m. Tuesday, March /, 1903, and both
houses Immediately organized.
Thus there are three dates about which
opinions may differ as to the exact initial
period Of Ohio statehood. They are Nov.
90, 1902, when the constitution was per.
fected and ratified; Feb. II, 1903, when
congress passed the act admitting Ohio,
and March l, 1903, when the legislature
assembled and organized. The latter date
appears to have the greatest claim in view
OF the language of the act of congress and
the organization of the legislature. The
two houses of the legislature met in Joint
session at II a. m, March 3, 1903, to opel
and declare the result of the ballot for
governor. Edward Tifln was declared
elected, receiving 4 1864 votes. There were
no ballots cast against him. At i O'Clock

THE AFTER DINNER NAP.
Brain Work Should BE Forbidden
Just After a Meal.


There is much difference of opinion con.
corning the dcsirability of an after dinner
nap. Those who advocate it cite the ex-
ample of animals, but these gorge them
selves with food whenever opportunity
offers and arc heavy and drowsy in conse-
quence. A short rest is, however, differ
ont from letnargic sleep and often appears
to do good. Brain work should certainly
be forbidden after dinner. The interval
between it and bedtime should be devoted
to recreation and amusement.
In tho case of elderly people q short nap
after a late dinner often aids digestion,
but as a general rule it is better for such
persons to make their principal meal at 2
p. III. The digestive powers of most eld-
erly people are at a low ebb in the even
ing. When slceplessncss is troublesome,
relief should be sought for in the discov-
cry and removal of the cause whenever
possible.
The condition is often due to indiges-
ton, and when this is the case the ordi-
nary remedies for inducing sleep arc worse
than useless. The nervous relations be-
tween the brain and stomach are so init
mate that disorder of the one organ is
almost certain to affect the other. Elk.
element, worry and anxiety, which have
their seat in the brain, interfere with tho
functions of the stomach, and, in like
manner, anything that unduly taxes the
power of or irritates the stomach disorders
the circulation and nutrition of the brain.
The sleeplcssness often complained of by
equity persons is due to the poisonous
effect of the morbid material upon tho
nervous system. Excessive smoking, too
much alcohol, tea and coffee, often resort
ed to by overworked PERSONS, are frequent
causes of sleeplessness. In all these cases
the cause is removable, while the effect
may be counteracted by appropriate treat
ment. Nothing is more miscellaneous,
however, than to continue the habits and
to have to drugs to combat the
effects. A due amount of exercise tends
to induce normal sleep, and such exercise
need not be of a violent character. A
walk of two or three miles daily is sufi-
Gent and is perhaps rs much as a busy
man can find time for.-Chicago Inter

GOT HIS SOAP r e

Story of a Smart Young Man Who
Read the Advertisements.
One day recently a young mar had oc.
casion to make a business journey into
Kansas. The business finished, he had
more than enough leisure while he await.
ed the evening train back to town. He
bought several magazines to while away
the time. After he had read all of the let
terpress that interested him he turned to
the advertisements and noticed that a very
large number of them related to toilet
soap. Each firm that advertised it's soap
offered, for the small sum of 2 cents in
stamps, to send to any one a sample cake
of soap. :
The young man is not averse to turning
an honest penny even in his leisure, so he
sat down and wrote a letter to every soap
maker and inclosed 2 cents for a sample.
He went through all the magazines and
sighed because there were not more.
When he got home, he hunted up all the
old magazines and went through them
for soap advertisements, and when he
found them he sent 2 cents for a little bar
Of soap.
In the course of a fortnight his SOAP
"upon the waters" SO to speak, began to
return. One day the postman stopped at
his desk and. grinninR, dropped thereon a
nal1 dozen little PACKAGES, eacn OF WHOM
contained a small cake Of soap, scented,
unscented and rancid. The day following
more soap camo in and again on the next
day and for many days following. Some
of the soapnlakers continued to send him
soap from day to day, each time a new
brand, everything from laundry for the
shirt to tar soap for the scalp. The post
man soon ceased to see the fun in it, and
to his office companions the fun grew
more furious with each consignment of
soap.
The young man himself computes his
profits as follows:

DOORS CLOSED AT MIDNIGHT
After . Remarkable Rush for Jew
eIry Bargains.


In the history of the jewelry trade
OF Wheeling there has seldom been such
a rush for genuine bargains, as Shelf
Bros. have experienced since inaugu-
rating their 20 per cent discount sale.
The eliminating point was attained
yesterday, when the volume Of business
reached an enormous aggregate for one
day. One factor of the trade of the last
few days has been the number of GUS
toners who were sent TO Shelf Bros.
by those who had secured bargains
earlier in the month.
I'VE have been very much pleased"
said a member of the firm to a Register
reporter, ito see familiar faces in the
store. We have recognized many who
were our patrons when We first en-
gagged in business, and who have dealt
with us ever since. during the years
that our stock and trade have been so
rapidly growing. We appreciate this
confidence, and have endeayored in all
u dealings to deserve it. We would
like you to extend through the Regis
ter, because we will be unable to do
SO personally, our hearty thanks to our
patrons, and our earnest best wishes
for a happy holiday season.
Shelf Bros store will be closed to-
day. but will be open all day Christmas.
The firm announces that the holiday
prices will continue after Christmas.
