/ AT THE STATE CAPITAL.

Fl.
State Superintendent Devine
issues a circular to the school sup
erintendents of the state urging
the appropriate observance of John
Marshall day, February 4, 1901.
The state bar association has made
arrangements to celebrate the day,
and Judge Bartholomew will de-
liver an address before the joint
assembly as Bismarck.
Xxx
Judge Morgan, the new supreme
court justice of the state, has been
visiting the capital and familiariz-
ing himself with his office sur
roundings there, to be the field OF
his labor for the ensuing six years.
This is the judges first visit to
the capital since his election.
~
Gov. White informed the Gin
cinnati Post that the J%effries-
Rubin prize fight could not be
pulled off in North Dakota. The
constitution forbids it.
*x*
Attorney . General Comstock's
notice to the saloon keepers of
Bismarck to close up, had the
proper effect. Bismarck is dry.
The attorney general says he is
going to rigidly enforce the pro-
hibition law throughout the state
and he means business.
*x*
There is more sickness in Bis
marck this winter than for many
seasons past.
**
The Fargo Call has this piece of
good advice to offer: 1.-TWO years
hence there will be another elec-
ton. The Republicans won a
glorious victory last November,
but it involved much hard work.
Campaigns are always laborious,
and those who perform the work
are not always rewarded. The men
elected to state Offices and as men,
bers Of the Legislative assembly,
have it within their power to insure
a Republican victory in 1902 with
out much effort. Republican prin-
ciples are satisfactory to the great
majority of the people. "A good,
clean, vigorous public service will
disarm opposition. We have
started we'll. Let the good work
continue. Let every Republican
lend his influence in making the
present administration the most
glorious in Jul history. Demo-
Gratis and Populists will share
equally with Republicans in good
government, for it's blessings are
shared alike by all The time to
begin a political campaign is on
the day the officials elected are in
augurated. Think it over"
*x*
A membership Of the judiciary
committees in the legislature is
considered a plum and the fact
that:Senator Hale and Represent
alive Davis each landed On this
choice committee in his respective
house, goes to show that Ramsey
county is we'll represented. The
Ramsey county members have Sc
cured appointments on the best
committees in the legislature.
Xxx
Representative Davis has intro
duced a wolf bounty bill which
will pass the house., and stands a
good show Of reaching the COVER
nor for his approval. MI. Davis
is doing good work on the sheep
husbandry committee, and being
a practical farmer himself he is
familiar with the needs of this
large portion of our population.

The town will be turned over
dry-to the editors on the 18th
and 18th. Mayor Patterson will
give the boys and girls a grand
banquet and ball in his new
Northwest hotel just to show the
pencil pushers that he is not hall
as bad as some of the newspaper
men have painted him.
**
Attorney General Comstock
says his order to violators of the
prohibition law was not intended
for the slope country alone but for
the whole state. He is going to
make it a point to see that the un-
lawful sale Of liquor is stopped in
North Dakota. This reminds
your correspondent Of an election
incident. In the northern part of
the state there are a large number
of Indians and half breeds who are
voters. The story goes that they
filed into the polls on election day
in large numbers and as they
could not read each had to have
the assistance of the Judge in
marking his ballot. The judge
of election would ask the usual
question, "for what party do you
want to vote?"
And the answer would come,
"Comstock."
"But don't you want to vote a
party ticket?"
"Comstock."
"Well. here is Comstock; now
don't you want to vote for the other
Republican candidates."
"Comstock."
mo other candidate on any
ticket?"
"Comstock."
So the ballot was deposited in
the box with no other mark on it
save the one opposite the name of
Comstock. Each Indian in his
turn answered the judges inter-
rogatories with always the single
word, "Comstock.". It was the
only English word the red man
used on election day, and Com
stock was the only candidate who
received their suffrage. Why the
Indian voted for the present at
torney general is now made plain.
They knew he would enforce the
prohibition law, and they wanted
to give their pale-faced brethren a
dose of the medicine they them
selves are obliged to take-no fire
water.
*x*
The house killed the senate's
short session resolution, and it
looks now as if the full sixty days
would be consumed in law max
ing.
Xxx
The Saturday night sessions of
the third house are creating great
amusement.
*
The apportionment bill intro
duced. and which will possibly be-
come law, gives Ramsey county
one senator and three representa-
tives. The senate will consist of
80 members, an increase Of s, and
the house SO, an increase of 36.

Yes"
That's the number I want. I

you will please to stand to the
right and say hello in a mild,
middling and loud tone of voice."
Hello, HELLO, HELLO !"

THE SOCIAL REALM,

we're requested to bring their sew
ing or fancy work which occupied
their time at the party, while an
excellent musical programme was
rendered by some of the ladies

decorated with evergreens and
house plants, making it look COW
and inviting. After the pro-
gramme, refreshments, appetizing

The children presented Master

were over a supper was served.
The refreshments included ice
cream, cakes and other dainties.
A novel feature was the ornamented
cakes which, with the table, were
thickly set with pretty lighted
candles making the scene a pretty

The Fl Paso Herald intimates th lt it begins te look as if there will b. war to the knife and the knife 10 the hilt between the Soathsrn Pacific and the Phelps-Dodge people growing out, of the projected construction of the Bisbee rosd to Fl Pssc. The Herald ssys: Ever since the Phelps-Doige company opened up their present mines at Nacesari they have been paying tribute to the Southern Pacific for hauling all their freight over tn ir tracks. The volume of the business handled by the read to and from the mine has amounted to a very desirable ssset in the earnings Of that poiat of the Southern Pacific. lis therefore natural that the sn- nouncement by the Phelps-Dodge company of their intention to builo their own road to Fl PAso from Bis bee and Nscosari is an uupalstshle pill fer the s. P. to swallow. By the construction of this road to Nacossri the s. P. not only lese' a good round cum that they have been receiving from the Phelps- Dodge company but they will lose on the freight which has been hsulsd by them to the other mines in the Cansnes, and in and around Bisbee, as much of this busi- ness will no doubt gs by 'he way O! the new and shorter route. The new road will practically parsl'e the s. P. road as far as sspsr and then go southweeterly te Nacossri.
 Notwithstanding the announcement bv the Phelps-Dodge people of their utention to he independent.

A GOOD LAW
To Have Standing in Court
 Taxes Must Be Paid

One of the best laws ever made by any Arizona le eNslature was passed as an amendment to that portion of the csde known ss the revenue bill. IL provides that all persons, firms and corporations mus, pay their taxes be- fore they can get hearing in court. This means that on the amount as assessed against any property and fn- ally fixed by the board oi equalization the tsxes must be paid into the treasury before the owners can be heard in court. Alter paying the tax the individual or company can sue the county for the recovery Of that amour, which they believe te be in excess of what their taxes should te. This will put stop to the prac- tiee of entering suit against the county in order to avoid payment of taxes for @ year or two.-Saffcrd Guardian.
