Mandan Pioneer: The question of
extra session is still topic of discus
of the legislature can accomplish is
mere matter of speculation. The gov
ernor asserts that there will be a sur
plus of 100000 which can be used to
aid those state institutions which are
sorely in need of financial assistance
On the other hand the treasury depart
ment fails to figure out any surplus
or any sum approXimating such an
amount With this vast difference
existing it is scarcely possible that
any good results can be reached by
convening the legislature in eytraord-
/ mary session. There is one feasible
way out of the dilemma. and that is
for the banks in the towns where these
institutions are located to carry the
bonds. The banks will refuse to do
this because of the legal status of the
bonds. But if the state treasurer will
deposit with each bank a sum of mon
ey equal to the amount of bonds held
lov the bank and keep the same on de-
pOsit so long as the bank holds these
bonds the solution of the present prob
lem is easy. Whether Mr.. Mcmillan
is sufficiently interested in state in
stitutions and willing to carry out such
proposition is another subject. But
it is quite evident that there must be
something to divide before division
can be made.

the state is responsible for the bonds
issued by the institution boards, then
the issuance of the bonds increases
the debt of the state. The amount of
the bonded Indebtedness is fixed by

this limit of Indebtedness it is clear
that they must be invalid That is all

VOICE OF THE STATE PRESS
Opinions OF the Various Newspapers OF the
State on the Advisability of an Extra
Session of the Legislature.

ST Thomas Times: Besides seri
ously c.ippling the educational and
other institutions Of the state, the re-
cent bond decision of the supreme
court has another serious side. There
is at present in the funds at the dis
posal of the Board of University and
School Lands something over
100000 of uninvested money This
sum will be greatly increased during
the fall if the board holds to its in
tention to sell more school and insti-
tuition lands Under the constitution
these funds cannot be invested in
anything but United States government
bonds, bonds of the State Of North Da-
kota. school district bonds and North
Dakota first mortgage farm loans
There are not sufficient state OF
school bonds offered to keep invested
the funds on hand The methods and
requirements of the law relative tC
ment undesirable on the part of the
borrower. and less than 100000 OF
the school funds have been invested
this way Nothing is left then fol
the board to do if it desires to secure
any returns for this enormous funt
but to purchase government two pei
cent bonds This will realize but {
small return to the school and institu
tions. but it will be much better thar
nothing. 1t is likely that the Legislature
two years hence will be asked t.
amend the law relating to the loanins
of school funds on farm mortgages

Attempted Suicide

About 4 O'Clock Tuesday morning 4
young man by the name of John Scott
attempted suicide by cutting his
throat with a razor. He had been
drinking heavily for several weeks,
but when seer Monday was sober.
The cause of his rash act is attributed
to his being crazed with liquor. Scott
lives in a cabin at the south end of
Main street, near the Gold Hill mine,
About 4 o'clock in the morning he
out of the cabin and deliberately
drew a razor acros his throat. After
seeing what he had done he realized
the rashness of his act and immedi-
started for assistance. He came
a distance of several blocks to the
Miners drug store, in search of a doc
tor, with the blood streaming from
he wound. The sidewalks over which
passed were covered with large
spots of blood the entire distance. DR..
Piper dressed the wound and pro-
louneed 1t not fatal.-Tonopah Miner.

One-Cent Letter POSTAGE

The reenues of the postal depart
ment are increasing so rapidly that
from predictions 1t would seem the
era of one-cent letter postage is not
far-distant. Such a change would re-
suit in the sending of many additional
letters through the mails, as the DOS
tai card has long been recognized as
an unsatisfactory substitute for sealed
envelopes. Substitutes are always un-
satisfactory, especially in medicine
would therefore caution everyone
needing Hostetter's Stomach Buffers
to only accept the genuine with their
Private Stamp over the neck of the
bottle. This celebrated remedy posi-
lively cures heartburn. indigestion,
flatulency. dyspepsia, nausea, consti-
patton and malaria, fever and ague. A
trial will convince you of it's value
as a health restorer. strength builder
and nerve invigorator.

A GIRL HORSE THIEF
Young Woman Who is in Jail
at Redding

REDDING, Sept. 20.-In tears be-
cause of her disgrace, Eliza Boyd, j
girl of Is years, occupies a cell in
Shasta county's Jail, charged with
horse stealing. She is an orphan,
homeless and friendless. She was ar
rested today by Constable Eldredge at
the home of William Gill, on the East
side. upon a warrant of grand larceny
preferred by Brigham Leighton, a well
known farmer of Saltwater.
1t is charged that the girl captured
a colt belonging to Leighton on the
range on the Saltwater plains.
In explanation of her difficulty, Miss
Boyd said that she met a woman, who
gave the name of Mrs. Brown, and
represented that she lived or was
camped il the northern part of the
city. Mrs. Brown claimed the
ship of the colt on the range, told
her to take it home, and, if the ami
nal proved satisfactory, Miss Boyd
was to deliver her own riding animal
at Mrs. Browns camp in exchange
for the colt. But the girl cannot tell
where Mrs. Brown has gone to. and
is not sure hat her name was really
Brown at all.
An effort will be made to send the
hayward young girl to the reform
school instead of to the state prison,
The prosecution will not be vindic-
tive, but rather in the line of charity
toward the girl who may yet be re-
trieved by throwing around her home
influences which has not been hers,
as both her parents are in the grave,
her grandfather in the poorhouse
and her only brother in the insanse
asylum.

BODY WILL
BE EXHUMED
Investigation Into The Cause
of Death of Chas. Calvin
Will Be Made

The Reno Journal has the following
to say in regard to the mysterious
death of Charles Calvin. which has
been referred to frequently in the Sill
yer State within the past few days.
Investigation is being quietly made
in a matter that may result in a SEN
sational charge of murder. Charles
Calvin, who died at Hobart Mills some
time ago, and whose body was inter-
red at Carson, is believed to have been
the victim of murder and the incl
dents surrounding the case are sufi-
Gent to make a plot for one of the
most thrilling novels ever written.
Calvin is believed by the authorities
to have been foully dealt with by his
wife and by DIR. Johnson of Hobart
Mills in order that the way might be
paved for the suspected parties enjoy
ing the bliss of the marital relation.
1t will be remembered that DR..
Johnson and Mrs. Calvin recently
eloped. The widow was apparently
free to HE away with the man after
whom her heart hungered and thirst
ed, but Johnson abandoned his wife
to elope with the buxom Mrs. Calvin.
Mrs. Johnson is a native Nevadan and
is well connected.
While the authorities have been
lquitely working on the case, they
made the first open move yesterday.
Ity. California, District Attorney
Moody and DIR. Shumaker of Truckee
Slipped quietly into town yesterday
morning and left on the express for
Carson. They exhumed the body Of
Calvin. The stomach was removed
and was brought back with them has,
evening.
The trio departed on the local for
San Francisco, where they will have
the contents of the stomach analysed.
in order to determine whether or not
Calvin was murdered.
The officials absolutely declined to
discuss the matter with the Journal
reporter beyond saying that the Car
son papers would have nothing tosay
about the matter and that it would be
suppressed in San Francisco. The
Journal will probably be able to give
an exclusive story this morning. 1t
was later admitted that the body had
been exhumed and the stomach re-
moved for the purposes of analysis.
DR.. Johnson and his paramour are
believed to be in San Francisco and
are being Swallowed by the police OF
that city. They will be arrested for
murder if the analysis of the stomach
shows the presence of poison.

Newsdealers everywhere testify to the
remarkable demand for this popular
little magazine.
The October number, now at hand,

Among the anne are found Hayden
Carruth, Dorothy Dix, H. S, Garfield,
Julia Truitt Bishop and Garrard Har-
ris, all short story writers of national
scope.
The leader is the latest thing from
the pen of Mr.. Carruth, entitled "A

Dorothy Dix writes of Strange Bed

tale by H. S. Garfield, called "The
T~hread-like Scar" is startling in plot
but plausible in conclusion. THE
