ats of the two principals:

1t will be seen that Mr.. johnson has
all the advantage of youth, weight,
height and reach. He is a giant and
something of an athlete, while Hanna
is old, fat, s~hort-winded and equity.
After the regular pugilistic fashion,
the two principals are doing a great
deal of talking. Senator Hanna is go
ing about putting and blowing and
hunting Mr.. Johnson, who says:
Now, look here. I weigh 22o pounds,
and I've been fighting all my life. I've
made it a part of my business, and there
are people over in Brooklyn now suing me
for $4,000 for broken shoulders: but I'm
not going around looking for an old gem
tleman with a cane, twenty-five years my
senior. 1t seems to be universally under
stood that Senator Hanna is looking for
me. l live at the Waldorf, was there last
night, this morning, and will be there to-
and l am considered an easy man to see"
How like Fitzsimmons VS.. Corbett.
Although Mr.. Johnson has the adj
vantage Of weight, youth, height and
reach, it is said that Mr.. Hanna will
clinch and butt him with his head.
The Senator has a hard, round head,
and, it is said, could put the street car
magnate to sleep by that method in one
butt.
Meanwhile Mr.. Johnson explains that
he did not say that Mr.. Hanna gave
500, 900 to defeat his brother, but that
that sum was raised for the purpose.
But at last accounts Hanna was still
looking for Johnson and the betting

Clocks with .eWbceI..~

Clocks are certainly queer things"
said the man who was tinkering at the
hall clock in suburban house the 9TH
or day. They get cranky spells just
like people. Sometimes they really act
as though they were bewitched. a
friend of mine had Il little clock that
had behaved itself and kept good time
for years. One day it took notion TO
lay off for awhile, and they couldn't
get it started again. My friends wife
was cleaning the room several days
Hfterward, and she took the clock and
laid it down fiat on its back on chair.
1t started to go at once and licked
away at a great rate, but as soon as
she placed it on end it stopped again.
Well, they set IT, and for a time it act
ed all right as long as it remained on
its back. But it soon got cranky again
and refused to go. The other day, just
for fun, they turned it upside down,
and. would you believe it. that crazy
clock started of again. Now it only
runs when it is standing on its head,
and they are wondering what new fool
ishness it will develop next."-Boston

ANOTHER ARGUMENT.
FOR NEW FIRE ALARM

Another forcible argument in favor
of a more modern fire alarm system
was presented last evening when,
through 4 mistake at the telephone
central office, the department was
sent To Third avenue and Sixth street
instead of to Sixth avenue and Second
street. and after futile hunt for the
source of the alarm. returned to the
hose house without having located it.
The alarm was turned in by tele-
phone from the soap factory, the fire
being III shed on the property of
Mrs. Smith at the place indicated.
Mel hbors put out the flames before
much damage had been done.
The blunder was not confined to the
report sent to the department, for
the engineer at the waterworks under
stood the call was for Sixteenth street
aud Third avenue and the whistle was
blown accordingly. Direct pressure
was also turned on and raw water had
been pumped into the mains for nearly
half an hour before the mistake, was
discovered.
the only way in which the depart
ment could have found its location
would have been from seeing the
smoke or flames over the town,
rather costly and primitive method.
A fire was discovered shortly after
noon today in pile of rubbish that
had been dumped near the colored
Baptist church on Tenth street. The
was called and the lower

when California was Unknown.

In an old geography printed in 1915
appears the following: California is n
wild and almost unknown land.
Throughout the year it is covered with
dense fogs. as damp as unhealthful.
In the interior are volcanoes and vast
plains of shifting SHOWS, which some
times shoot columns to great heights.
This would seem nearly incredible

ARBoR DAY.

State OF North Dakota, Executive
Department, Bismarck, By the Gov
ernor.-Arbor Day Proclamation.
The custom of setting apart a day In
spring for the planting of trees has
been attended with such beneficent re-
suits in promoting and preserving OF
forest growth, that the observance OF
Arhor Day has grown to be an almost
universal practice in our prairie states.
In keeping with this custom do there
fore designate Friday, May 10, as Ar
hor Day for the state Of North Dakota,
and recommend that all u people de-
vote the day to the planting and care
of trees and shrubs about their homes
and public buildings. Let the exer-
cises in the public schools on that day
be directed to promote the knowledge
of the planting and are of trees and
the value of a forest growth upon our
unbroken plains. a..

interest of continued work on the post
that the r~ight-of-way be given as soon

want to build at nee and are only
waiting for the action Of the county

the board, in granting this right re-
serve the right to grant similar rights

to that end it would be well to desig-

SAD CASE AT GRAND FORKS, RE-
=. suIITTNG. IN THE DEATH OF Al
ToWNER COUNTY GIRL RE-
GENTLY.
The Grand Forks Herald has investi-
gated the case of$a 'Townert county girl
who is reported to have died alta hos
pital there as a result of a criminal OPP
Grafton, and says:
Some time ago Mary Weiker, whose
parents reside a few miles from Cando,
discovered that she was enciente. She
said nothing to her parents, but came
to this city and consulted with a physi-
clan regarding having an operation
performed. He referred her to an
other physician and the latter advised
her to go to the North Dakota Surgical
Institute and remain till the child was
born.
When she arrived there she was old
that she could remain providing she
could pay her board, and make suit
able arrangements for the care OF h
child which was to be born. She stated
that she had no money but that Abra-
lam Thornton, who was the cause OF
her downfall, had promised to send her
SIS when the child was born. Dr..
Fawcett advised her to send to him at
once for a part Of this amount with
which to pay her expenses at that
time. She wrote to Thornton but re-
ceived no reply. DR.. Fawcett then ad-
vised her to seek counsel from an at
torney, and this she did, placing the
matter in the hands of General Stand
ish and %instructing him to write to
Thornton. This was done and o
tor advised that if he did not send the
money he would be prosecuted at once.
Al soon as Thornton received his let
te1, he skipped the country n has not
heen heard from since. AS the girl
would not ask her parents for money,
DR.. Fawcett sent her home to Cando,
where she remained for ten days or
two weeks.
Later she wrote a letter to the doc
tor. asking him to intercede with her
| father to have her sent to the hospital.
Shortly after this Dr.. F'awcett was in
Cando and saw Mr.. Weiker and agreed
to take the girl in his hospital, prov1d-
ing the father would pay the expenses
this fall and the latter said he would
consider the matter. One week ago
last Friday the girl came to the city
again, She was ill, and, the night
being wet and stormy, she went to a
hotel going to the hospital Saturday
evening. DR.. Fawcett was notified o.
her return by the head nurse, but die
not call on the girl till Sunday morn
ing. During the day she was takeI
worse, and the child was born Will
she was alone. AS the doctor did MOI
think that she could live he summon
ed other physicians, Dr.. Irwin OF this
city and Dr.. Kirke Of East Grant
Forks, and when it was found earl!
Monday morning that she could no
live M. Norman and Gen: standisf
were called in to witness the dyins
statement or the girl.
Following this is the dying state
ment of the girl to the effect that M
criminal means were employed that re
suited in her death, and General Stand
ish in an interview states that tn
girl was conscious and sane when sh'
made her statement. The remain
were shipped from Grand Forks bacl
