pliments Secretary of State Fallev
upon the excellent method of keeping
the books of his Office.
There will be more strange faces in
this, than any former legislature.
Hon. ''Tom" Allshouse of Steele
will keep 'open house" as usual this
winter.
Representative Watson arrived last
night and is pleasantly located at the
new hotel.
Capt. Getchell is here and will be
private Secretary to Governor White
succeeding Tom Poole.
Secretary Of State Falley with his
charming wife arrived last night and
will remain until after the ball.
jamestown people should take ad-
vantage OF the ''special" and 'show
up strong" at the grand inaugural
ball Friday Jan. II.
Senator Williams is almost a repub-
llcan and reports have it that he would
participate in the republican caucus
if properly urged.
Stenographer Rose was here taking
down every word spoken in the court
| room during the Patterson trial. 1t
is thought his notes will make rich
| reading few years from now.
Governor and Mrs. White are decid-
edly popular, and visitors at the exc
cutlve mansion are given a hearty
| welcome which tends to make them
feel at home. Mrs. White is an &C
cOmplished entertainer.
There is a growing disposition to
consolidate the Valley City and May
vile normal schools and to close the
one at Valley City. The attendance
at Mayville has been larger since
Prof. Carhart took charge than that
at MacFarland's institution and an
investigation Of the affairs of the
latter school will reveal, it is said,
the fact that little more than could
be accomplished in a high school is
going on there. n few graduates are
turned out but the cost to the state
is too great and there is believed to
be no necessity for it. The manual
training school at Glendale is really
one OF the most deserving in the state
as 1t trains the youths in work that
will be of use to them in after life.
With a normal department to the
state university, the AGRICULTURAL col
lege at Fargo and thn manual train
ing school at Ellendale the state
would get along nicely if the two nor
NAL schools were closed,
1t is said that the senate will not
employ any more clerks than are
| needed for the actual work ana which
are allowed by law. This will be
great disappointment to the many ex-
pectant applicants now in Bismarck.
Arthur knauf who was given leg
ls;ative position in the caucus of the
house members, has declined to accept
the same, as he is attending law lee
lures in Minneapolis AID it would not
pay him to leave school at this time.
! me position has been transferred to
Bert Weld Of Cleveland this county.
Ihe salary is 50 day with an extra
appropriation for hack hire. Repre-
sentatives keeler and Watson secured
the appointment for Mr.. knauf.

THE NEW OFFICERS.
The state officers were sworn in yes.
terday and assumed the duties OF
office. There was no.notable incidents
in the change-the old ofticess induct.
ing their successors into the Office with
all the courtesy imaginable. Judge
Winchester performed the cere.
mony." Gov. White at once entered
into active duties as the chief eXecll-
tive.
The state has rested in the Patter-
son case.
Cap. Gleason will probably be watch
man of the senate.
The selection of Joe Scanlan of
Grand Forks as chief clerk pleases the
newspaper boys.
The new hotel The Northwest" is
a bird. Mayor and Mrs. Patterson
deserve to succeed, no doubt they will.
TO an outsider it looks very much as
if the people of Bismarck have select
ed a very poor time in which Ito wash
their dirty linen.'
1t is pretty evident the boys will
have to content themselves with
''draw" this winter. The open game
with all the fringe, will not be allowed
to ''go."
Maj Edwards is on the ground
and the Forum reader will know Just
what is going on. The Major seems
very much interested in the Patter
son case.
Walt Cushing and jim Foley will
furnish the live matter for the Bis
marck Tribune and will let nothing
get away. The Tribune will contain
all the news.
Representative Chatfee of CARING

THE THEATER WALL FALLS
Adobe lean-to, Used for Scenery Room,
CoIlapses.
The Main Ediflce il Not Affected, and
the House VIII Open Tonight
as Usual.

At about O'clock this morning, the
northwest corner Of the adobe lean
10, built as scene room to
the Salt Lake Theater, fell into
the alley with a crash, The sup
position Is that the wall had been
weakened by the heavy recent storms.
II came down without any warning ana
for a moment spread dismay TO the
night operator OF the telephone build
Ing adjoining who thought that build
ing was collapsing. Manager Piper
was promptly telephoned and he spent
great part of the remainder of the
night around the building. cutting off
communication through the alley, hay-
ing the walls propped up and taking
other measures to see that no further
damages resulted.
A visit 10 the property this morning
shows that the lean-to will probably
have TO come down entire. The west
portion OF II is now being supported al
most entirely by the unused scenery,
which is stored there. There is a
chance however, that the east part OF
the lean-to IN which the old green room
Of the house Is located, IL not inn
paired. The main part of the theater is
not In the least affected. This building
was erected In 1851 and 81 and is as
solid as II could we'll be made, us foun-
dation being four TO six feet thick up to
the ground and the next twenty-five
feet being two feet nine inches IN
width OF solid stone; above that the
walls are of adobe. The lean-t0 was
constructed several years after the
main building was completed and has
been used as green room and a
scenery room ever since. The necessary
repairs win be made at once and the
accident viii not affect In any way to-
nights performance.
The sudden collapse OF the wall
caused number OF highly exaggerated
reports 20 be sent out Of Salt Lake early
this morning. A response to one OF
them came from manager OF Henry
Miller at Denver who stated that he had
heard that the entire building had tum-
bled down, and that Il would be neces-
sary for his company 10 play at another
theater Manager Piper FASTENED TO
reply that the building proper was as
solid as the everlasting hills and that
Mr., Miller and his company could play
within It's walls as safely as any time
in the past
The board OF directors OF the Theater
met this forenoon and decided 20
promptly make whatever repairs were
necessary TO the damaged part Of the
lean-to.
