Fragrant pansies are the new Won

This wonder was created by Gusta-
vus Pauls Of st. Louis. Mr.. Pauls is
very proud of his new; pansies, yet he
is very modest about claiming the hon.

their creation to the wisdom Of tie in
sects, which he claims are the kings of
cross fertilization and hybridization.
The pansy has, from it's advent in
the floral kingdom, been a faYOrite
with flower lovers on account Of it's

SONS. The only fault ever found with
the pansy by the most fastidious was
that it was odorless. but now that the
fragrance Of the sweet violet has been
added to its many good qualities it bids
to be more of a general favorite than
ever.
"All the hand I had in creating the
fragrant pansy was planting pansies
next to sweet violets. The insects and
the jealousy Of the pansies did the
rest" declared Mr.. Pauls.s "At my
home in the country I planted pansies
and sweet violets side by side. The

Five Gsmes Played on the Bottineau
Diamond.-The Home Team I
" Takes Four.

Five baseball games have been
played on the home diamond since
our last issue and out of these Bot
tineau won four.
The game last Saturday between
Bottine au and Souris was an easy
victory for the home team. Belts.
and Blenna composed the Bottineau
battery, while Murphy, Sorlein and
Rodsather we're in the points for the
visitors. o. w. Eller umpired. The
home team slugged out five tallies the
first inning to one made by Souris
and this lead was kept throughout the
game. The following is the score by
innings: sss
Souris 100 0 0 1 p A
Bottineau SO 1901 x-13
The game with Westhope Monday
was even more one sided than Satur-
days game, and Bottineau won with
out any apparent effort. Shannon and
Simon made up the Westhope battery,
and Sevaried and Grangaard the home
battery. David Williamson umpired.

The game Tuesday between Omemee
and the home team proved to be a.
pretty snappy game. Owing to mis-,
understanding only seven innings were
played. The Omemee boys readily.
concede that they were outclassed and

team would undoubtedly have won.

Wednesdays game with Westhopes

CREST OF THE FLOOD.
Water is Slowly Receding Now and
 All Danger is Past.

Pittsburg, March 4.-The crest of Lne flood reached here at 8 o'clock .-4ls morning when the Herrs Island marks showed twenty nine feet one inch in the Allegheny river at that point.
 The water is now slowly receding and no further danger is ,apprehend- ed, the cold wave having checked the rise
 The damage done by the flood will probably not exceed $250,0OO.
 Along Pine creek and in the Turtle creek valley, the havoc was beyond any done in recent years In the two cities it was not so great, but many in- dustriaI establishments along the two rivers were compelled to close down and thousands of men were thrown out of work. The railroads of the dis tricts suffered to an unusual extent, and landslides added to the handicaps imposed by the high water itself. The northern lines are still crippled, but the railroad officials expect all trains running as usual before nightfall.
 Considerable inconvenience and suf- fering was caused in the flooded dis trict by the sudden drop in the tenn pelature and shortage of natural gas. While the rise came with un- usual suddenness and many narrow escapes were reported. so far as known here there were no lives lost in the flood.

ON A SERIOUS CHARGE.
Hostler at Shepard's Livery Stable
 Was Arrested This Morning.

George w. Alderman, who is em- ployed at Shepard's livery stable. was arrested this morning about 1O:45 o'clock by Officer Gabriel, charged with assault upon a woman. The par tculars ill the case are as follows: About 10 o'clock this morning Officer Gabriel was standing on South Main street, at the corner of Grand street, when a woman, who gave her name as Mrs Miller, and appeared to be about 25 or 30 years of age, approached 4.lm and told the following story. She was passing along the alleyway in the rear of Coffey's restaurant in search Of a certain man when a man from the liv- cry stables ran out and seized her. Notwithstanding her screams and cries for help the man forced her into the stable, grabbed her by the throat sew eral times and put his hand over her mouth to prevent her from screaming Then he committed an assault upon her. The woman, accompanied by the officer, returned to the stable, but the man who had committed the dastardly assault had fled. The woman, how ever, gave fairly good description of her assailant. and acting upon tAis de- scription Officer Gabriel arrested Ack, erman later in the day. Before he
 
 officer told the woman to visit the chief of police or the prosecuting attorney and tell her story. She promised to do so, but up to late nour this afternoon she had not kept her promise. The police are therefore in somewhat of quandary. They do not know who the woman is Or where she lives. The de tectives are trying to locate her this afternoon. The police Lave two wit nesses who heard the cries Of the wo- man.
 Alderman denies any connection with the case. He stated to the officer that he was taking Dr Thibault's horse down to him at the time of the alleged assault, but as matter of fact an- other man took the doctors horse to him.
 Alderman has been mentioned in connection with the Mendelssohn mur- der case. It is said that he harnessed the horses to the team which the mur- derers used in driving to and from the scene Of the murder.

 journed Until Tuesday.

of fraud, collision and wiIful and cor rupt perjury of the defendants.
 Because it does not appear from the information to which the plea in bar is filed that the said acquital referred to was not procured by and on account of the fraud, collision and wilful and corrupt perjury of the defendants. On these grounds the state claimed the plea was insufficient and should not be allowed.
 MT Williams further quoted consid- erably in effect that no person shall be filed that the said acquittal referred to fense, and that there was not the slightest relation or resemblance be tween the present accusation against the accused and that of which they were found not guilty.
 Replying, Mir O'Neill said the solu- ton of the arguments presented was very simple one. Gan the same facts be litigated twice? If they have been decided once, how can they be considered again? Does it alter the proposition because the state is on one side and an alleged criminal Is on the other? Once litigated. a fact is at rest forever between those interested. Why, it was not until quite recently, 1855, that an accused person in thls state was allowed to testify for him. self. What did the state do to prove the first cases? MT O'Neill then re- cited in brief the evidence given by the state in, that case and also by the defense. Half dozen witnesses, more or less, testified the accused were elsewhere than where the witnesses for the state said they were. The del fense produced witnesses impeaching some of the witnesses for the state and in the end the jury decided for the af- cused. thereby showing they believed the evidence for the accused and not the evidence for the state. Therefore these facts were litigated, and once litigated they are settled forever be. tween the state and the accused. Even if inc state does produce more wit nesses. it does not change the issue nor the relations between the state and the accused fin the cases heard last spring.
 MT O'NeiT then illustrated repeti- tion of the trial and the same evidence as given in the first case is gone over with again by "the same old witness est that testified in the last trial.

THE EQUAL
 OF MEN.
w omen So Regard
 ed by Mormonis1n
President Smith on the Stand To-Day Was Closely Pressed With Questions by Senator .r
 Hoar and Mr. Taylor.

Washington. March 4.-Presldent Joseph F. Smith of the Mormon church was called to the stand by Senator Hoar at the opening of to- days proceedings before the senate committee on privileges and elections, in the investigation of protests against Senator Reed Shoot of Utah. Senator Hoar desired information on the subject of the rights of women in the church and whether they held any priostly authority.
 MT Smith said the women are re- garded as the equcls of the men in all matters of voting, but that in holding ''priestly authority" womeH are not regarded on the same plane. He explained that the women have a charitable association. known as the Woman's Relief society, in which they have the authority to perform certain duties. This authority is con fined to the relieving of distress, but women are not ordained high priests, apostles or, elders.
 MT Taylor asked about M. F. Cow ley, one of the apostles. and Cowley's 8 talks on doctrine, and in answer to a question from Senator Dubois, MT Smith said MT Cowley was elected as an apostle in 1897.
 Reading from the Desert News of June 23. 1903, regarding a speech by MT Smi4 h at the Weber state reunion MT Taylor asked MT Smith if he was correctly reported in saying that the doctrine of plural marriages was re- ve'ation by God to Joseph Smith, jr, and to reject that would be equiva- lent to rejection of God himself.
 MT Smith said he believed he was correctly reported and when list of names Of those present. including Senator Shoot, was read, Mr Smith said the list was correct. He de clared that he would not have had the article published if he had been consulted. Pressed for 8 reason, he said he was under injunction not to teach the rightfqlness of polygamy and that he had refra'ined from doing so in public.
