A I 7 ROMANCE.
Love at First Sight Inspires a Local Girl
to Choose a Partner.

A little piece of romance occurred
wei on the prairie north of town the
other day, says the Ward county Re-
porter, which is worth chronicling.
A young woman who had been living
on her claim decided to return to
Devils Lake and asked one of her
neighbors to take her to Minot the
following day where she would take
the train. He replied that he had no
buggy but he would go to his neigh
Dor close by and borrow his buggy.
It happened that the neighbor intend
ed to go to Minot himself but offered
to haul the young lady. AS she was
an entire stranger to him, the neigh
Dor was taken over to the house and
given an introduction. The woman
was taken to town the following day
and left for Devils Lake. just two
weeks later she returned to become
the bride Of the man who was kind
enough to furnish transportation. He
is q we'll known bachelor living ur
the river and the boys say he nov
parts his hair in the middle and il
sprouced up like a dude.

Mr.. KoRK OF NEW YORK..

Rehearsals for this clever piece are
progressing very nicely and the hit
promises to be the greatest success the
O'Callghans ever made. Miss
Addie and Mr.. Ed Elliott have arrived
from Kenmare and will take leading
parts in the piece. One Of the con-
pany has added some lines after the
style Of Alphonse and CASTOR, to the
piece that are said to DO as clever as
they are funny. The piece was never
played in Devils Lake; il il was--you
get your money back-and you get it
back anyway if you are not satisfied.
Reserved seats will only be 50 cents.
You will realize what the great coal
strike was like after seeing Mr. Kork

LESSENING OF CRIME.
This is One Of the Good Things Accom-
plished BY Prohibition.

This is Oneof the Good Things Accom-
plished by Prohibition.
The White Ribbon Bulletin in
telling what prohibition does for
North Dakota, publishes the following
statistics:
In 1890 the population of North Da-
kota was 1872, 719; in 1901 it was $780,
148, a. increase of more than "a per
cent. Under ordinary conditions
crime increases in about the same
ratio as the population, but Judging
from the records of some Of the lead
ing cities and counties in the state,
crime has decreased under prohibition
while the population has steadily in
creased. The city Of Grand Forks
in 1890 had a population of 4, 879; in
1900, 1862. The arrests for drunken
ness in 1889 were 245; in 1900, 10.
Arrests for vagrancy in 1889, 14a;
in 1900, 16. Arrests for disorderly
conduct in 1889, 70; in 1900, 16
Arrests for keeping houses Of i'll re-
pute in 1889, SO; in 1900. none.
Total arrests in 1889, 578: in 1900,
158. While the population has in
creased 81 per cent, the arrests have
decreased 70 per cent under prohibit
tion.
