THIS week the Press publishes
a synopsis of the recent supreme
court decision which so materially
affects Stark, Billings and Mercer
counties. Things are in very bad
shape and in our opinion the gov
ernor should call a special session
of the legislature at once; other
wise it will take four years to
straighten matters. Following out
the exact letter ofthe law, accord
ing to the courts decision, Ward
and Mclean counties and about
half the area of the state is in the
same fix. It is true, as one paper
remarks, the litigants in the terri
tory east of the river have slept
upon their rights for eleven years;
but have not our people gone on
for these many years, upon the
advice of the attorney general.
paying taxes, organizing and
maintaining school districts, etc.
But they tell us that the courts,
in the cases east of the river,
would be likely to decide that on
the ground Of public policy the
county boundaries should not be
interfered with. This would be
stretching a point to cure a defect
which the court holds to exist,
but which was not stretchedin the
case west Of the river. Six years
or eleven, the principle is the
same.

Mrs. Cook Dies.

After an illness Of several months,
Mrs. Isabella Cook died at i o'clock on
tte-morning. OF May go, Of cirrhosis Of
the liver and disease Of the stomach.
She had been a great sufferer the last
few weeks, and her endurance was al
most phenomenal. Death came as a
relief, and her last hours were without
pain. Mrs. Cook had good medical at
tendance--a council of doctors several
times-but her case seemed to be be-
You'd human aid. She was also attended
by a skillful nurse, Mrs. ]. w. Gruchus,
and her sister, Mrs. j. N. Saunders. and
brother, Richard Carnahan, were with
her for over a month, doing everything
in their power to make her last days as
comfortable and pleasant as possible.
Mrs. Cook was AZ years of age at
death and was born in Philadelphia. She
moved to the middle west with her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. S. R. C%arnahan,
while in her teens. In 1883 they moved
to Glendive, Mont, where deceased was
married to c. R. Cook, and the following
year moved with her husband to this
county. settling in the vicinity of Dickin-
son. Her parents also moved to North.
Dakota at the same time. MIR. Cook died
in January, 1890. and for many months
after her husbands death Mrs. Cook had
the care of his extensive ranch business,
10 miles west of Dickinson, and it is
feared that this care was toe great for
her frail form, and was. perhaps, the pri-
mary cause Of. her death.
Last year Mrs. Cook purchased a resi-.
dence property on Clough street, where
she fitted up a cosy house for herself and
mother, and as everybody thought was
most comfortably situated and in a posi-
ton to make the declining years of her
aged parent very happy.
Mrs. Cook was known as one OF the
old settlers Of Stark county, where she
had a large acquaintance, especially
ameng the earlier comers. She was
kind hearted, true to a fault, and did
what she could for those who were in
trouble and needing her assistance.

inson some years ago, was a sister Of

In publishing the financial statement
of the Norwich Union, we take pleasure
in pointing to the fact that the fact that
the state insurance commissioners re.
port for 1900 shows this company wrote
more fire insurance in Dickinson4 for the
year than any other company repre-
sented. The Norwich Union has a
splendid record for fair dealing, and is
one Of the heaviest writer's of insurance
in the state. The Royal, the statement
of which also appears in this issue, is
the leading fire company Of the world,
having a notable record OF many years.
The British America, while a much
smaller company than the one just mem
toned, is a very conservative corpora
ton, and can always be relied upon to
meet its losses fully and.promptly.
The above companies belong to the

-: THE CENSUS.

The census office has issued bulletin
concerning the urban population of the
country. Ii shows that 2S,411 .69S peo-
pie in the United States live in cities and
towns of over 1000 population. This is
37.3 per cent of the entire population, a
gain of almost per cent since the CEN
sus OF 1890, when the percentage was
329
Compared with the returns Of 1880 the
report shows a gain in the urban popula
ton of the country OF more than third
in percentage and Of considerably more
than double in actual numbers.
There were in 1880. $50 places of more
than 1000 persons each. with an aggre
gate population of 1886, ITO. or 25.S
per cent of the then population.
About one-half of the urban population
of 1900 was contained in cities of over

Our assistant surgeon had keen

if he could not get the fresh article. In
July, 1864, before Sheridan was put In
command, while General Hunter was
hurrying us about in distracted kind
of way from Harper's Ferry to Fred
erick and back, and when dozens of
soldiers were dying daily with sun
stroke, we found ourselves one sultry
afternoon half way between the Ferry
and Halltown, in that wild region
known as Bolivar Heights. We were
passing mean-looking house. in front
of which slatternly woman with arms
ikimbo was viewing with undisguised
scOrn and contempt the march of the
Yankee hirelings over that portion Of
the soil which frontcd her dwelling.
The doctor thought he saw chance
for milk, and, riding up TO the dame,
politely accosted her:
Madam, have you any milk to
spare:' l shall be glad to pay for it.
Soloud and emphatic was the answer
that half the regiment heard it:
No. sir. we hain't got no milk; We
hain't got no bread; we hain't got no
meat; we hain't got nothin' to eat; We
hain't got nothin' to drink-were clean
done gone up n spout-and YOU kin jus,

DOES FINE EMBROIDERY.
An Old Hospital Patient Who Lives
by His Need1ework.


John Kluser, an aged patient at the
city hospital, has earned his livelihood
for the last twenty years by doing fine
embroidery work, says the st. Louis
Republic. He has been in the hospital
for three weeks. and in this interval lie
has busted himself in designing and
working out several elaborate embroi-
deries. The corps of nurses, many of
whom are skilled with embroidery, say
that 10 woman could exceed his deft-
ness with the colored silks.
Kluser is IL years old, and native
of Switzerland. His parents were poor
and he grew up labOrer. But by great
economy and self-abnegation he saved
money enough to begin his studies at
college in Geneva. Switzerland. While
a student his thoughts turned to re-
ligion. and he determined to become a
priest. He then entered a theological
college, and after four years work was
ready to be ordained.
At this stage in his career he was,
he says. wrongly accused of having yio-
I.:ttu the IuItS WHICH Dluu dSplTdutS
to the priesthood. He denied the
charge, but the archbishop Of his dio-
cese refused TO ordain him. He left
his native land. came to the United
States, and has since never communi-
Gated with friends or relatives in the
old country
While engrOssed in his theological
studies he became interested in the his
tory of the monks of the middle ages,
many Of whom became painters. em-
broiderers of church vestments or the
illuminators of books. In imitation Of
these monks, Kluser took up embroi-
derry.
Immediately after leaving Europe
Kluser secured position as instructor,
and for five years lived comfortably
But the longing to do work in service
of the church returned, and he moved
from New York, where he was living,
In 1880, to Waukesha, Wis, where he
obtained position in the household of
n priest and embroidered church vest
ments and church decorations. He
moved thence to a town in Indiana.
and thence, three years ago, to st.
Louis.
