PASSION PLAY REALISTIC.

The Eject of the Acting Upon One
Woman's' Nerves.
Z In The Woman's Home Companion
Lillian Bell writes Of her experiences
at oberammergau and of the impress
sions made upon her by the great
Christ drama. She concludes with
these vivid words: IA .s3
"As to the play itself, wish need
say nothing about it. Ny mind, my
heart, my soul, have all been wrench
ed and twisted with such emotion as
is not pleasant to feel nor expediens
to speak about. It was too real, too
heartrending, too awful. Il hate, I
abhor, myself for feeling things SO
acutely. wish were skeptic, a
scoffer, an atheist. wish / could put
my mind on the mechanism Of the
play. wish could believe that it
all took place 1000, years ago. I wish
I didn't know that this suffering on
the, stage was all actual. i wish
thought these people were really Tyro-
lese peasants, wood carvers and pot
ters and that all this agony was only
8 play. I hate the women who are
weeping all around me. I hate the
men who are letting the tears run
down their cheeks and whose shoul-
ders are heaving with their sobs. 1t
is so awful to see a man cry!
''But, no; it is, all true. 1t is taking
place now. am one Of the women
at the foot Of the cross. The anguish,
the cries, the sobs, are all real. They
pierce my heart. The cross, with it's
piteous burden, is outlined against the
real sky. The green hill beyond is
Calvary. Doves futter in and out,
and butterflies dart across the shafts
of sunlight. The expression on Christ's
face is one of anguish, forgiveness and
pity unspeakable. Then his head drops
forward on his breast, it grows dark,
the weeping becomes lamentation, and
as they approach to thrust the spear
into his side. from which, I have been
told, the blood and water really may
be seen to pour forth, turn faint and
sick and close my eyes. 1t has gone
too, far. 1 am no longer myself, but a
disorganized heap of racked nerves
and hysterical weeping, and not even
the descent from the cross, the rising
from the dead or the triumphant ascen-
sion can console me or restore my bal
ance. The Passion play but once in
lifetime" h1-E h

Fargo, Nov. 16.-Four new cases Of

TO MAKE FUEL.
COUSIN OF INVENTOR EDISON
HAS A. SCHEME OF FUEL MAN

S HAS A SCHEME OF FUEL MAN
UFACTURE. h: Sc :; aF#
i st. Paul, Nov. 16.S. O. Edison, a
cousin of the Wizard" Thomas Edi.
son, has built a, manufacturing plant
at M Gamma, N. D., in which he pro-
poses to make fuel out Of hay and
straw that will equal in heating prop
critics any coal on the market, n n a Il
3i ]. B. Streeter! of Larimore, N. D., who
is at the Merchants hotel, says that he
has seen the fuel and used it, and that
it has proved entirely satisfactory. It's
capacity for generating steam is as
great as that OF coal, and. it can be
used in any place that wood or coal is
burned. 5t@3* =, J NJ .s.ss ii
n McCanna is little town in Grand
Forks county, just eight miles from
LaIimpre. It. is in the center of a
great wheat-raising country, and Mr..
Edison can get plenty Of straw, after
the threshing is completed, to run his
plant for! several months if not for
the entire year. The farmers have
heretofore, at the end of the threshing
season set fire to the big stacks OF
straw, and have consequently derived
no benefit from them, They are as
anxious as Mr.. Edison for the success
Of the plant, as it will furnish them a
market for their straw. .Ss$
The straw, when it is being manu-
factured into fuel, is first boiled to- a
pulp much the same as in making
straw paper. It is then treated with
chemicals and placed in presses and
nodded into hollow cylinders which
are dried and placed on the market
ready for use. The cylinders are
made in stove or in furnace lengths.
Mr.. Edison claims that he can place
it on the market at one-half the price
of coal: p If the fuel is as cheap as he
promises, for it has already been
proved to be satisfactory. it will prove
"a godsend to the farmers of the north
west Mr.. Edison intends to estab-
Slish plants, similar to the one at Nc
Gamma, in several places throughout
the northwest, as soon as he has de-
monstrated the value Of his invention.
Mr.. Streeter says that the immigra-
ton in North Dakota during the pres
.ent year has gone away ahead of any
previous year, Large numbers OF
people have gone there from Iowa,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and the
farm lands are being rapidly taken up.
The rdinary influx Of desirable
population has caused the price Of land
to advance materially Good farming
lands are now bringing as high prices
as at any time In the history Of the
country /. rs A 8 5s3s. }g

DON'T SWAP.

The m ost prominent feature Of Mr..
Bryan's so.called antitrust position is
its arrant hypocrisy. 1t has been shown
that when his party was in power it
did nothing to destroy or to curb
trusts. 1t is shown that when Mr..
Bryan was member of congress and
of the ways and means committee, he
never reported q single bill for that
purpose. The Democratic party has
been in power twice, once from 1885
to 1889, and again from 1893 to
1897, without taking any practical
or Tangible action against trusts. In
1888 they instructed the committee On
manufactures to investigate the ques-
ton and report recommendations, and
the result Of their six months OF tes-
timon taken was report to the eff
feet that they were unable to agree
upon any specific policy, and they ad-
vised turning the whole suDJecu ovor
TO the next congress--a congress whics-
had already been elected and was Re-
publican.
Now supposing the trusts-or corpor
ations-are as bad as Mr.. Bryan says
they are, in view of the past record of
himself and party, as above exposed,
what hope can the country have that
he or they would take any steps to
protect the people against the trust
OCTOPUS" hereafter, If they were to
be put in power? And in the light of
MIR. Burt's record on the trust question
what hope can the voters In the Eighth
district have that If elected he would
put himself on record to "smash" the
trusts? None at all. Joseph w. Ford
ney has shown his position as to trusts
in congress once and he Will not
change. Don't swap horses crossing
the stream.

BURT ON IMPERIALISM.

wellington R. Burt, In his Owosso
speech, Oct. 8, said: lit was policy
that was enstamped upon the men,
DRY OF every man in the country,
that we wanted NO colonies, we
wanted no foreign lands. Is there a
man here but what has been taught
that from his boyhood days? 1t is
one Of the things we never thought
could occur"
Mr.. Burt is strangely misinformed
as to past history. Every Democratic
platform prior to the civil war de-
clared in favor of the acquisition of
Cuba, and the Democratic party was
fully committed to that policy.
Mr.. Burt says: 1--WE wanted no for
eign lands"
Mr.. Burt has changed his mind In
this particular within a oompa ratively
recent period. On Feb. B, 1898, in
the Michigan state senate, Senator
Wellington r. Burt offered the follow
ing resolution:
Whereas, The Hawaiian monarchy
has lately been abrogated, and the
provisional government now existing
in lieu thereof, has sent commissioners
to Washington, to communicate with
our government, with q view Of having
the Hawaiian islands annexed to the
United States in q territorial form of
government, and.
Whereas, About three-fourths of the
property on said islands belongs to cit
liens of the United States, and consid-
ering the important position occupied
by these islands, the need of the a
tives of such islands for q Republican
form of government, and the necessity
and great Importance to the United
States, of controlling this great cross,
roads of the Pacific"
Resolved, BY the senate, (the house
concurring), that our senator's and
