carlsen-Petenson Wedding.


Grelland, N. d., June II, 'O4.
Special to Independent.
Mr. Joseph Carlson and Miss
Vendetta Peterson, OF Grsland,
were quietly married at the home
of Rev. J. S. Sneeve Saturday
afternoon, June IL. After &C
cepting the well wishes Of their
friends they were taken to their
new home where they entertained
al night in fine old country style.
The couple are highly thought
of by their many friends here who
wish them happiness in the fu-
ture, and pray, "May God bless
their home,'' knowing that it
will be a happy and contented
family. Miss Peterson, who was,
is a sister of John Peterson, our
prominent rancher. She has a
brother who farms in the valley
near Minot. Her sister is a
county superintendent and
August Peterson, the Harvey
banker, a brother whose roman
tic marriage near Chicago made
good reading in the Independent
recently. Mr.. Carlson is also
originally from Sweden. He
lived for awhile in Minneapolis
but the hills have had him for
several years past, in the capa-
city OF a rancher. He is the hon
est painstaking kind one likes to
call his neighbor, and we hope he
will long remain so.

zemstvos' Appeal Refused.

st. Petersburg. Dec. 24.-Emperor
Nicholas formally notified the country
to-day that agitation for a constitution
and the convocation of o national as
sembly is useless.
Such is the construction placed upon
the Endorsement written in his own
hand on the resolutions telegraphed by
the Chernigov Zemstvo December goth.
begging him = the most loyal manner
to convocate legally elected members
OF the zemstvos to present a program
of reforms for his consideration. The
Emperor wrote on the dispatch:
Il consider the act Of the president
to be presumptuous and tactless. Cues
tions of state administration are of no
concern of the zemstvos, whose func-
tions and rights are clearly defined by
the law"
The Endorsement is printed In tho
O6icial Messenger. dashing the hopes
of the extremists. 1t does not come as
a great surprise. The Emperor from
the beginning. although he has shown
himself favorably disposed toward a
more liberal regime, and In entire SYM
pathy with some of the ZemStvo de-
mands had resolved not to yield the
principle of autocracy. Upon this point
1t Is understood all his advisers. In
cluding Interior Minister Sviatopolx-
Mirsky, agreed, but the character OF
the agitation which followed the meet
ing of the presidents of the zemstvos
and the action of the various provin-
cial zemstvos and municipal councils.
coupled with the recent demonstra-
tions at st. Petersburg. Moscow
and elsewhere probably served to-
strengthen the hands of the reaction
aries and convinced the Emperor of
the imperative necessity for plain
spoken announcement of the sover-
eign's position upon the main point.

FAIL TO AGREE
jury IN NAN PATTERSON CASE
Six Think the Defendant Guilty and
Six Arc for Acquittai.

New York, Dec. 24.-Following a
day of intense nervous strain. Nan Pat
terson last night is in the Tombs. III
and perhaps on the verge of break
down, but with constant attendance.
The former show girl. expecting ac-
quittal at the hands of the jury which
has listened to the evidence in her
trial for the murder Of Caesar Young
last June, went into the court this noon
to learn that the twelve men chosen to
decide her innocence Or guilt had been
unable to reach an agreement; in fact
had divided evenly over the question
as to whether or not she held the reyol-
yer which ended Young's life.
The jury stood six to six: half for ac-
quittal, the others for conviction
Although no official announcement
was made further than this, court
house talk had 1t that Of six deciding
against Miss Patterson none was for
conviction of murder in the first de-
gree; that one held out for murder in
the second degree. two for manslaugh-
ter in the first degree and three for
manslaughter in the second degree.
Immediately the announcement OF
the verdict was made. Miss Patterson
broke into a fit OF weeping which con-
tinued even after she was led from tho
court room to retiring chamber
where physicians were called and re-
storatives administered.
Then she was taken to the Tombs.
but she again wept, moaned and be-
came bysterical. and the efforts of her
father, the prison matron and attend
ants to quiet her were futile.
The demonstration in the court
room after the announcement of the
disagreement was somewhat remark
able, many pressing forward to express
sympathy for the young woman.

DENVER ELECTION COMPLICATIONS

For examcle. let us suppose that the
county clerk Of Boulder county wes an
unfair. jealous and unscrupulous parti-
san and at the recent election he had
returned $4,000 plurality for every Re
publican on the ticket from the presi-
Dental electors down. Would Senator
Ward then contend that the canyassing
board had no right to go behind the re-
turns? Such a return from Boulder
county would be absurd. because It
would be known that no such majority
could be had. but nevertheless the can
vassing board. according to the Demo
cratic contention, must accept this
fraud and issue election certificates ac-
cordingly and the Legislature must do
the same thing. 1t is also known now
beyond any question Of doubt that the
grossest frauds were committed In
Denver and that the Democratic ma
jorities certified to by the county ON
cials Is spurious and fraudulent. OF
course a contest can be started in the
courts but immeasurable harm and in
Justice could result by the acceptance
of such fraudulent returns by the high
canvassing authorities.
In the present instance the accept
ance by the board of the Denver re-
turns means the seating of Demo
cratic Senate. while it Is well known
by the canvassing board that Repub-
lican Senate had been elected.
The acceptance of the returns on
governor by the Legislature means the
seating of a man who was given just
as spurious plurality by the elections
commission OF Denver on their returns
as would be the $4,000 imaginary plu.
rality from Boulder county.
If these authorities have no right to
go behind the returns. it means that
any corrupt political leader could
evolve a conspiracy that would defeat
the will OF the people at every cleo
ton.

Drouth Continues,

Pittsburg, Dec. 23.-The slight rain
fall of last night was not enough to
materially change the drouth situation
in this vicinity. The small water sup
ply is being exhausted rapidly and in
dustries are suffering.
The water company supplying
Braddock, Pennsylvania, has an
nounced that 1t cannot guarantee a
supply Of water. The supply at Irwin,
Pennsylvania. was shut of to-day,
leaving 1t entirely without water.
The drouth is beginning to have seri-
GUS effect on the mills in the Mononga-
hela valley and If not soon relieved
will demoralize the industry.

A Hint to tho Husband.

In popular fiction, proverbs and car
ICONS, husbands are pictured as stupid
animals, blind, perverse, born to be-
managed by some woman, and always
always devoid Of tact. Who ever heard
the phrase, LAS tactful as the pro-
verbal husbandT Who ever heard
anybody say, "As clever as a hus-
band?' !
But the pathetic and absurd truth
of the matter is that when a husband
is clever he is twice as clever as his
wife, for when he is managing her
the most she hugs to her heart the
fond belief that she is managing him,
and that he is at best a stupid old
dear, fit for nothing else than to be
steered along the path she thinks he
ought TO travel in. 4~I
I have sometimes been accused OF
saying harsh things of men-God love
them!-but if so, here is where I make

more than they suspect. If women

acts on the suggestion.-Lillian Bell, In

a slight jar to break the strongest OF
the nests into fragments, and the pros.
poets Of transporting the specimens to
New York in safety seemed one OF
uncertainty. The Bahama negro. boat
men were not accustomed to delicate
work Of this character, and it required
special inducements in the way OF
pay to tempt them to wade barefooted
through the lagoons and to travel over
the keen-edged rocks with burdens Of
from fifty to $50 pounds on their
heads.
The nests were placed in the canoe
and reached the schooner with the
breaking Of only three out of nine
specimens. In Nassau they were
treated with a solution of gum arabic,
which hardened them, and after being
wrapped in plaster Of Paris bandages
they were packed separately in large
boxes and reached New York in eX-
cellent condition. Specimens Of the
famingoes themselves were also Sc
cured. The nests collected differed
from the conventional idea of a fla
mingo's nest in being much lower and
of q greater diameter. Doubtless the
height Of the nest is governed by the
rise Of the water. Built wholly of
mud, which is scooped up from about
the base of the nest by the bird, it
is necessary that the site chosen shall
be near enough to water to secure an
abundant supply of soft material. Such
a site, however, brings the nest within
reach of the tide, and places it in a
low situation, which may be subse-
quently flooded by heavy rains. Conse-
quently the birds must build their
nests high enough to protect their con-
tents from the water.
These two conditions have resulted
in the production Of a mud cone, which,
