 One night last week a negro man, Bill Rushing. employed on John Harper's s place, few miles west of this city, shot Emma Creagh, a negro woman, inflicting wound from which she died in a few hours. When the shot was fired he was so close to the woman that the powder caused her clothing to catch fire and burn above the wound. The direct cause of the shooting Is unknown. Both ne- groes were employed by Mir. Harper and were considered by him to be peaceable inoffensive servants. The murderer made his escape, but it Is believed, he Is hiding out somewhere near the scene of hc crime. His description is in the hands of officials of the surrounding counties and cities, whom are on the lookout for him. Rushing has threatened the lives of several others, among whom is Mir Harper, who is now In this city with his family.

The extension of the State Capitol, the building of an addition to cost $15o,oOO is possible in the near future: perhaps prob able.
 Governor Jelks, in an interview yester- day, said that. in his opinion. Capitol ex- tension was possible. The improvement rests entirely with the Governor. He is to say whether the addition shall or shall not be built. The Legislature. after mak- ing the appropriation of $l5o,OOO, added the proviso that the money was only to be expended when the Governor deemed it advisable to do so.
 There has been serious doubt as to whether the addition would be built These doubts grew out of the condition of the State treasury. The new constitu- ton materially reduced the tax rate and materially cut down the general fund. Moreover, the last Legislature was very liberal in the matter of appropriations. The fear has been felt that the treasury would not be able to bear the strain of a $1500O0 draft

The kidneys are given double duty to perform by reason of the extra amount of impurities which they must filter out of the blood, and like the other organs they too are damaged and impaired for want of proper nourishment. impurities which should be filtered out of the system by the action of the kidneys are retained in the blood, redoubling the amount of poison 1t receives from poor digestion. thus increasing the poisonous deposits made by the blood in the tissues of
 the various organs in the course of its cir
 culation, back and forth through the body.

THE CHOIR
ON "A STRIKE
Methodist Singers at Bismarck Com
cIuded Their Services Were Not
Appreciated by Congregation.

3 Bismarck, N. D., Sept. o.The choir
Of the Methodist Church here is on a
strike. Some time last winter this choir
under the leadership Of Prof. ]. Newton
Moore, gave a concert in the church, the
whole proceeds of which. over $Ioo,
was turned over to the church. Later
they gave another concert with the I'm
derstanding that half the proceeds should
go to the church and half to the choir.
The net result of this concert was about
$40, divided as agreed. Last week the
choir gave benefit concert for the
leader and the net result was about $40,
there being not more than six members
of the church present.
In the meantime Professor Moore's
class had been assisting in all the church
services for nine months or more and
the returns for their, work seemed so
glaringly one-sided that they were led
to believe that their services were not
fully appreciated. This choir consists OF
fully twenty-five people and is probably
one of the best in the state.
Sunday when the minister announced
a hymn, and the congregation arose to
sing, a death-like silence prevailed, until
the preacher told them to sit down and
he would furnish the evenings enter
tainment alone.

PROMOTE ARBITRATION.

ST. Louis, Mo, Sept. o. Though the
will be relatively small as
compared to that OF some oil the gath

the meeting of the International Arbi-
|tration Union here during the two
weeks beginning today, is regarded as
by far the most important convention
Eof the exposition period Those who
have arrived to attend the sessions i'm
|clude some 600 men OF worldwide rep
utations, among them being eminent
statesmen from nearly every country Of
Europe and Representatives Of the law
making bodies Of the Central and
South American republics. Several
score Of the members of the congress
|of the United States are expected to
take part in the sessions.
As its name implies the union seeks
Ito establish international arbitration as
4 means Of settling disputes between
the nations. One Of the propositions
that will be discussed and which may
be expected to attract universal atten-
|tion IS that the president Of the United
States be requested to call second
congress of governments, similar to
that held at The Hague, for the pur-
pose Of considering the reduction Of
arfnameflts.
