HAUN TED.
An Apparition Which Has
Frightened Many Women.

There is certain horrible fascination
about stories of haunted houses, in which
the presence of an unseen and unearthly
guest makes itself strongly felt There
may be a merry making, wedding or
christening, and while laughter echoes
from the walls and happiness is at flood
tide, sudden chill falls on the heart.
The flesh feels as if cold wind blew
upon it. There is sensation as of some
evil influence near, and shiver shakes
the shrinking body.
Some such fear as this falls on many
woman in the very hey-day of her hap
piness. She has been SO strong, SO per
fectly healthy that life has been con-
tinual JOY to her Now some unaccus-
toned feeling touches her. She shivers

then is dragged up the incline by a

tipped into a shoot which leads into the

Mining by Electricity.
The actual operation of mining is car

by electricity .revolves great horizontal
sprocket chain bearing saw-like teeth;
this chain is pressed against the coal and

reet deep IN about fifteen minutes. A
similar cut is made down the side. Holes

augur. blast of giant powder is inser-
ted and ignited by electricity. The re-
| suit is that great chunk of coal weigh
ing from three to five tons is blown down.

entries and rooms are all lighted by in

| AT the present time Ignite is used al
most exclusively in Bismarck and very
largely in Fargo and other Dakota towns.
In locomotives it was found that the
| Ignite, on account of the rapidity with
which 1t burned, gave off vast quantities

lntegrate so rapidly in the furnace that
when an engine with heavy load struck
a grade the strong draught would literally
lit the lire off the CRATES and blow clouds

mechanical drawing, one period each day
Parents unfamiliar with the manner of pre-
sentng this work cannot understand its edu-
cational value. Pupils are to become skilfu
in the use of tools, but the skill is born Of
an educated mind directing the hand AMI
eye instead of by a repetition of one action
until the hand has learned habit. The fol-
lowing are some of the lines along which
pupil is trained. He is required to progress
step by step in systematic manner; he is
obliged to be honest with his work and him
self; he is required to Systematically plan
his work; he is obliged to be self-dependent:
the work is arranged that the pupil is
continually interested in his immediate work
and in that in advance; he Immediately feels
that he is doing something by and for him
self; he is required to make a drawing or
read drawing made by some one else be-
fore executing his work, thereby beginning
the cultivation of ideality or creativeness-
while the eye beholds the drawing on paper,
the mind interrrets conceives the actual
form; he is soon able to criticize and correct
his own work; he is continually cultivating a
sense OF form and taste in design. \
We cannot here name all of the different
faculties reached and more or less cult
waited.
The freehand and mechanical departments
OF the course are unusually rich in oppor-
tunities for a pupil to make the most of
follows.

The working of the Ignite coal fields
of North Dakota has developed the use
OF the most up-todate mining methods.
A little over a year ago the Bismarck,
Washburn & Great Falls railroad was
built with it's temporary terminus at Will
ton q point some tWenty-SeVen miles
north of Bismarck. Several rather prim-
ative coal mines were in operation in
tho vicinity, and farmers who had bored
for wells reported Ignite vein of great
thickness at a depth of about fifty feet.
This led the railroad company to investi-

The mine is entered by means of
slope or drift, some 400 feet in length,
which taps the Vein Of coal at depth of
about sixty-five feet. The deepest por-
ton of the vein is selected for the open

workings may all drain to the foot of the

The report Of the Secretary of
Agriculture for the year is out. It
shows at glance the increasing use
fulness of the Department of Agri-
culture. The appropriations made
for the use of this department Of the
government the past year were ST.
500, 900 and the number of employees
in the Washington office was $3.50.
The work of the department covers
many subjects relating to agriculture,
animal industry and forestry. Next
to the Postofice Department this of
Agriculture comes into the most
intimate relationship to the people

The Am endm ents.

The vote on the constitutional
amendments has finally been can
vassed and the results given out.
Following are the figures: Banking
Law-total vote on, 1o9,47o; for, o.,
$50; against, 1850; majority for the
amendment, 2o,236. State Supt.-
total vote on, l28,475; for, 7I,546;
against, 5000; majority for the
amendment, 1857. Anti P Pass
total vote on, 1o8,449; for, 67,781;
against, 1868; majority for the anti
pass amendment, 27,II3.
It will be noticed that the school
amendment received the largest vote
.128475. On this amendment
alone the women voted. The other
amendments were voted by 100000
for one; and 10000 on the other.
That would seem to indicate that
about 10000 women voted in this
state at this election. It is pretty
safe to conclude that the most of
them voted for the school amend
ment. This conclusion is confirmed
by noticing the excess of the vote
cast for state SUPPLEMENTARY
which the women voted over rail
road commissioner-for which the
women did not vote. The entire
vote on superintendent was 37o,o46;
on railroad commissioner 355,528.
The figures show another remark
able feature-that not one voter in
three was sufficiently interested in
these amendments to give them

less than that of secretary of state,
who receives $1,000 year. There
was, and is, objection to the other
features of the law. The claim that
the election of this official in the
spring removes the office from pol
itics is not well founded either in
reason or fact, and his election for a
long term-four years-gives the
incumbent better opportunities to
confirm himselfas a powerful 'sboss."
The objection raised against the
amendment was caused by the APP
prehension that the state superin-
tendent might become too powerful
in educational matters, the head of a
"machine" that would dominate our
entire school systematic most i'm
portant interest in the state. With
the power to appoint all officers of
school supervision and with practi-
cally life tenure of the office of
state superintendent ofpublic instruc-
ton, he would be practically absolute.
1t means vastly more than what at
first glance appears on the surface
in the power of appointment of
school officials, the control of 10000
teachers and million of school
children-it goes down to the ''sin-
ews" of the whole system-taxes.
