Fairy Tales.

The following is from the Southwest
erin School Journal of Nashville, Tenn:
A few weeks ago Miss Alta Bristol.
a teacher near Monango, North Dako-
ia, saw a prairie fire sweeping toward
the school house. The children We're
terrified, but the teacher had the pres
ence Of mind to start q fire and back
burn a belt near the house. This
checked the fire and saved the house
and children. She took off her skirt
and wore it out fighting the fire. One
member of the school board moved
that they should reimburse the teacher
for the dress that was sacrificed. but
the majority voted it down. Bill Nye
said the stingiest man he ever knew
used 4 wart on the back of his neck
for a collar button. Nye did not know
this school board.

FOUND GUILTY.
Joe Hurst, Formerly of Mandan, Has
Been Found Guilty of Murder.
at Gendive.
From Thursdays Daily.l

From Thursdays Daily.l
Joe Hurst, formerly a resident of
Mandan, where he was well known as
a foot racer, and at one time a member
of a running team at the firemen's
tournament, has been found guilty of
murder in the first degree at Glendive,
Mont, for the murder of Sheriff Cav.
anaugh, a day or sc before last Christ
mas.
The murder Of Cavanaugh was IL
brutal one. He had been reelected
as sheriff, and Hurst was an opponent
for the election. Cavanaugh's dead
body was found near his barn, where
he had been struck down with some
heavy instrument, his skull crushed,
and he being otherwise injured.
Suspicion was directed to Hurst be-
cause of the known enmity and bitter
ness of Hurst toward Cavanaugh, arts
ing from the race for the shrievalty.
1t vas stated that Hurst had said that
if Cavanaugh were elected he would
never qualify. Clothing was also
found belonging to Hurst which was
said to have been discolored with
blood.
After the death of Cavanaugh and
before Hurst was arrested or sus-
pected Hurst was a candidate for APP
pointment to the office Of sheriff to
succeed the dead man, and came near
receiving the appointment.
Hurst will be sentenced by the Judge
today.

out ut every station, and the postotiice
clerks will be busy for two or three
weeks at the same work. Advices

carrying the mail is fixed every four
years and cannot be changed in that
period. 1t is based on the average

entertained by the people; so l am just

But to come down to facts: the para
mount duty of the Republicans of Cal
ifornia is to elect a Republican Sena-
tor 1t is the bounden duty of the Gov
ernor to call an extra session of the
Legislature for that purpose; Then he
has done his part, and cannot be blam-
ed, no matter what may be. the result.
There. is some excuse, perhaps, for the
failure to elect at the regular session,
because every member knew that an
extra session could be called in time
to elect before the new Senator would
be seated. So if the Governor does not
call an extra session, he will, for all
time, be held responsible for the pass.
ing of the Republican party in Cali
fornia, and if, when called together,
the Republicans fail to elect a Sena-
tor, they will be voted a set of incom-
petents, incapable and untitled to have
charge OF important public business af-
fairs.
How can the party ask the people of
thls State to elect another Republican
Legislature, if now, when called upon,
having large majority of the Legis-
Iature, such majority refuses to per-
form its imperative duty to elect a Sen
ator, and thereby restricts the State
10 half representation in the United
States Senate, thus confessing and
proving the incompetency of the party I?
such a course can have but one re-
sult-the election of a Democratic Leg
lslature and Democratic United
States Senator for six years.
The plea that the election of Dan
Burns will defeat the party at the next
election is, in my opinion, silly. Moth
ing will as quickly and surely defeat
IT as to refuse to elect some one. What
California wants, at this juncture, is
another vote in the United States SEN

Tor the general and material interests
of this State and coast, primarily, AMI
for the party generally. California
has many things to ask of the majority
in Congress. How can we ask favors
OF it if we cOntemptuously refuse to
help maintain that majority, when it
is not only in our power, but is our
plain duty so to do? This matter of
default in electing a Senator is of far
greater moment to California, and
reaches further than many think. The
duty of the Governor and Legislature is
plain, and neither can give a reasona-
Die excuse to the people of this State
Tor failure in performing it, Very
