pressing confidence in the .tirm OF
Edwards, Wood s. Co., the big grain

charged with irregular dealings by the

PARTICULARS OF DEATH.

Regarding the death of Miss Stella
Posey of this city, at Pierre, the Capt.
tal-Journal of that place has the fol-
lowing particulars under date Of Dec.
Goth.
Miss Stella Posey, OF jamestown,
North Dakota, sister of Mrs. Horace
Clark passed away last nighJ. Drs.
Clark, Ruble and Allen have been in
attendance since her arrival and have
held repeated consultations, but have
been unable to assign definite cause
for death. In September DR.. Clark
was called to jamestown to advice in
her case which had been of number
of months duration. He opened alarge
abcess in her neck and brought her
to Pierre for subsequent care. She re.
turned to her home about month ago
in excellent health. A week ago last
Friday she returned unannounced to
Pierre, in great physical and mental
distress from recurrence Of the cOndi-
tion in her neck. Immediate opening
of the abcess relieved her pain but did
not make any material change in her
general condition. Last Sunday a
freer incision was made and con-
siderable quantity of broken down
glandular tissue was removed. Early
Friday morning temperature Of l04
degrees was observed and Miss Posey
was unconscious. This responded
readily to treatment, and remained
down until late that night when an
other sharp rise occurred. On Satur-
day the fever still responded to treat
ment, but the respiration increased
beyond all relation to the pulse, and
the unfortunate young lady sank into
comatose condition which continued
to the end. Had it been possible to
refer the cause to infection from the
wound subsequent to operation,
fatal end might have been avoided,
out the course of the wound was
perfect and medical assistance help
less.
A year ago Miss Posey suffered for
several weeks from a probable attack
of brain fever, which left her in de-
jected spirits. 1t may be that any
shock or serious illness would have
caused mental excitement sufficient
to poison her system. The last svmp-
toms pointed in that direction.
j. D. Posey, her father, will arrive
on Tuesday and accompanied by Mrs.
Clark will take the remains to James
town for burial. There will be brief
service a. DR.. Clark's residence on
Wednesday at half past one O'Clock.

far as the state Of North Dakota is

concerned, have proceeded without
the formality of a constitutional
amendment. While it is quite a
''nervy" piece of legislation it has the
savOr Of being in that class where
"nothing succeeds like success"
1t would be interesting to know, in
case the legality of the appropriation
and change of location, was ever
raised in the courts, how the uncon-
stitutional proceeding could be de.
tended. and especially if the people
should vote down the amendment on
the grounds that the present state
hospital can well care for all the fee
BILE minded cheaper than in separ-
ate Institution for years to come.
In Minnesota, Illinois and other
states additional Institutions for the
insane or feeble minded are not con-
sidered necessary until the number of
patients to be car,d for in any one in
stitution numbers some 1900 to 1900
people. The present state hospital
has less than 500 population and a
building which is expected to be COM
.pleted next year will care for ali the
patients for some time to come.
But Senator Cashel has secured his
object, the state has a new building,
Grafton an institution, and nothing
further will probably ever be done
about it except to pass the annual ap-
preparation bills for the maintenance
Of the patients of the institution.
Only, the question naturally arises, if
Legislation Of this kind can be had
and appropriations made for institu-
tions which have no legal existence
why can not other unconstitutional
legislation be made effective and what
is a constitution for? sAnd would the
state treasurer in this case refuse to

institution, as he has done in other

Miss Amelia Higginson, the
president, in her opening address
said:
president Roosevelt believes
in the rearing of large families.
He has a right to his opinion, but
when he places childlessness in
the same category with criminal
acts he goes too far. The presi-
dent is the father of what we
Americans would call a large
family. He is not the mother of
large family. We have heard
nothing about race suicide from
the mothers of America, and we
never shall.
"Let the president grapple with
the trusts. the tariff and the COM
ing election. They are more in
his line. He can safely leave the
question of babies in the hands OF
the women of this great republic. "
