SPECIAL SESSION
IS CAUSE OF ALARM
North Dakota People Are Wor.
ried Over Possible Legis-
Iative Call.

FARGO, N. D., Aug. 30.-Shall Gov
White call special session of the leg
islature is the all-important question
in North Dakota. Each succeeding
day the sentiment opposed to the cal
seems to be increasing.
The state constitution provides that
a special session may be called, but
there is no provision as in most states
to restrict the members to the subjects
mentioned in the call.
The state institutions are in bad
way since the supreme court declared
the institution bonds invalid. There is
no doubt but that they need some as
sistance, but it is questionable whether
a special session will be of any mate
rial benefit.
There is a small sum of money in
the state treasury. If special session
would transact its business and adj
journ the money might help. But
there is no guarantee that the mem
bers will quit. 1t is feared a resubnis-
sion resolution may be rushed through,
or the Shells druggist permit law re-
pealed Or the legislature might re-
main in session so long that the meet
Ing would cost more than it could pos
sibly benefit the institutions.
Even If the business was done in
two or three days the leading attor-
neys assert the legislature has no right
to divert moneys from the general
fund to the state institutions, which
are supported by special taxation. It
is even claimed that the state treasurer
will be enjoined from paying out any
moneys even if the legislature would
authorize it.

This was the work Of the Commercial

of their city park, which lies several
blocks east of the depot, but not in
sight from the trains. Opposite the
park is the court house, one of the best

of $4,000, and in it's rear stands a

her nose, throwing her mantle about
her body.
Josephine's companion, terrified with
fright, ran away and Josephine was
carried further into the lumberyard.
When the girl recovered conscious
ness she was lying on a lumber
heap with her garments torn from her.
She made her way with difficulty to the

Fifth streets. She was later taken to
her home, where she remained in a
serious condition last evening,
