F,ALLEY is CERTIFY
ING THE AMENDMENTS TO BE
{ VOTED ON THIS FALL. 5s8
Secretary of State Falley is certify
ing to the newspapers through the state
for publication the two constitutional,
amendments to be voted on this fall
One Of them is for the creation of a.
state board of pardons to assume the
pardoning power at present conferred
solely upon the governor The amend
ment proposes to vest the power in a
board consisting of the governor, chief
Justice of the supreme court and attor-!
ney general. This is the custom in
many stabes, and it is believed to be a;
better one than having the pardoning
power held solely by the governor
alone. who in the majority of cases
would be better pleased if the work
were done by a board. The constitu-t
tion has to be amended to permit this
change, and the amendment was pro-!
posed at the 1897 session Of the legis-
lature. sg 5
# The other amendment is to permit
the taxation of telegraph, telephone
lines, express and dining car compan-
les. It makes it the duty of the state
board of equalization to assess these
companies and apportion the valuation
among the counties as is at present
done in the case Of railroads. 1t is
claimed the constitution is not specific
enough on this point to permit OF their
proper taxation. +.
Both amendments will carry, in all
probability, having passed two ses-
sions of the legislature.

management will be disappointed in

he was associated in a business eapac-

under whose direction he is making the

YIELD. II 5S5
Grand Forks, Aug. 27.-Hon. John
Miller, North Dakota's first governor,
spent yesterday in the city on business.
Gov. Miller has for number of years
been engaged in the grain business in
Duluth and makes frequent visits to
the wheat growing section OF the states
during the growing and marketing
seasons. ta5. .zss.
Asked for an estimate as to the prob
able crop yield Of the states, he said
that 50 many estimates had been made,
and these were SO divergent in their
character that he did not care to stake
his reputation on any guess which he
might make, but he believed that If
Month Dakota raised 2O, ,0OO, 900 bushels
of wheat this year this would be the
outside figure @s 81 s
The rainy weather Of the past week
or two has of course had a bad effect
on the grain, and until grain began to
move more freely it IS iifficrlt to tell
what this damage will be He be-
lieved that with the most favorable
eondit lions from now on the entire crop
is damaged at least one grade. In q
few localities grain will be unfit to
thresh. In other cases sprouted kerr
nels will be blown out, and III almost
all cases there is dlscolo loration.

GOvvns for the TrOusseau.
From Harher'a Bazar.

II the saying is true that all the
world loves lover, it is also true that
all women are interested in the we'd
ding trousseau. no matter whether
the outfit is to be for themselves Of for
somebody else; and certainly every wo-
man who is to be married wishes, very
naturally, to provide q suitable outfit
for herself. It is supposed that the
trousseau shall contain what is sufici-
ent for year at least; but of late it has
been rather the fashion for women not
to buy gowns enough for year, but
simply to buy what is necessary for the
time being. and put the money aside
to buy what will be necessary the COM
ing season. This Ii vastly more sensi-
BILE now that fashions change so often;
and not only the fashions in gowns, but
the materials as we'll. Lingerie does
not change so every year, and conse-
quently good stock OF 1t can be laid
in. Pretty underwear Is something
every woman likes to have, and should
be we'll provided with.
When buying a trousseau the best
plan Is to find out just how much money
can be afforded, and then what Is
necessary can be bought first, leaving
for the last what might be called lux
uries. It Is very pleasant to own two
or three silk gowns, but they are not q
necessity. A street gown, on the con-
trary, Is a necessity, as we'll as one OF
two smart and becoming gowns fol
house wear, and at least one gown that
Is suitable to wear at evening enter
tainments. There Is no greater mis-.
take made than for young people le
give up their social life as soon as they
are married; for while they are suf.
flcient to each other for time, it is
but human for them to wish for thu
companionship Of somebody else aftel
while, and then they, will want to bt
entertained as we'll as to entertain.
Every woman who can afford Il
should have wedding gown. 1t neet
not be of silk or satin, or any of thu
more expensive materials, but 1t /.
prettier to have it in white, and to weal
1t with a veil. There are many mex
pensive white materials that can b.
bought now that are extremely pretty
and the gown need not be elaborated,
made.

what IL Money,

From ocean to ocean a wilderness
has been made province Of possessions
and beautiful homes, by the untiring
efforts and unceasing 1abors of the
hardy sons Of toll. When money as
exchange was equal only to the value
Of their labor they could own their own
homes, but when the demon Of avarice
put 25.8 grains of the rich mans gold
into the dollar and made 1t the meas-
ure Of all values, the price Of dollar
was doubled in purchasing power and
made to rob the laboring and produc-
ing classes, with no defense for liberty
or home, but high priced gold.
There is absolutely nothing in the
bond and gold standard for the people
except debt, poverty, oppression and
death, AZ facts, figures and records
