North Dakota
Leads In Prizes

St. Louis, Oct. 1. The most
important event Of North Dakota
day at the fair was the reception
given to Governor and Mrs.
White. The function was a most
pleasant and successful one, Gov
Hernor and Mrs. White stood at
the head Of a receiving line COM
posed Of Miss Ella Carter, the
North Dakota, hostess, Com
missioner R. j. Turner and wife
and Lieutenant Governor Bart
lett.
The headquarters booth in
the Agricultural building was
utilized for the purpose. The
space was deliberately decorated
with palms, leaves and roses and
the beauty Of the place was re-
marked by a great nySofA the
callers during the afternoon.
During the reception music was
furnished by the Filipino orches-
ira from the Visayan village.
!! Over 500 people called during the
afternoon and met Governor and
Mrs. White. Among the num-
Der were most of the exposition
officials and a great many OF the
commissioners from other states.
J About 40 people from the state
were in attendance at the receE-
ton, a much larger number than
was anticipated. About Is Of
the number had. just arrived a
day or two before.
l More fruit and vegetables have
arrived for the state exhibit in
the Agricultural building. Some
1 fine crab apples and plums have
arrived form Oscar Wick, Of
Grand Forks, and mean more
than the apples SO far received,
because Of the fact that they
were raised in the northern part
of the state. Two more large
shipments have been received
from Colonel Hankinson, of
Hankinson, and placed ondis-
i play. The apples are at present
/ the feature Of the exhibit, not
SO much on account of the excel
lence Of the apples as on account
! of the fact that they were raised
in a state which people had sup
4lposed a barren spot where moth
4 ing but a little wheat could be
raised. No day passes without
several people making special
1 inquiry concerning the apples
and small fruits.
The work Of the juries is now
practically complete and North
dakota has cause for congratu-
Y lation on the outcome. The
i markings must yet receive the
J. O. X. Of the superior jury bu9
that is a mere matter Of form.

the Askold, Bayan and Novik-and also
against the land forts. The bombardment
lasted half an hour. At its conclusion our
cruisers retired into the harbor. The enemy
then bombarded one land battery for some
minutes. Then the enemy also retreated,
remaining out of the range Of our gums.
"In the meanwhile four japanese cruisers
separated from the enemy's main squadron

GIRL PRISONER SLIDES
DOWN ROPE TO LIBERTY
Carrie Knapp, Many Times in
Trouble, Escapes from Wom-
ans Reformatory.
HAD A CONFEDERATE

BY a daring slide down rope from the
for Girls. Carrie Knapp. who was recently
sentenced to a term in the Reformatory
by Judge Afford in the Criminal Court. es-
capped about $50 o'clock last night and
despite the closest search by the police and
employees at the Reformatory, had not been
found at O'Clock this morning.
That the girl was aided by a confederate
on the outside of the building. is the general
belief of all. 1t also is hinted that some
one inside assisted in her escape.
How the girl secured the ROPE is mys-
room from which she escaped had been
twisted to one side TO allow a sufficient
opening. The rest was comparatively easy.
Aided by the darkness the woman scaled
the fence surrounding the grounds with
out being discovered and IL is believed was
joined by her confederate on the outside,
who drove her away in a horse and buggy.
When the girl was first arrested she es-
capped from the officers. Later she was ar
rested by Bicyclemen Lowe and Bernauer
for burglarizing the residence of John Phol-
man. 1t was for this offense she was SEN
fenced 10 the Reformatory.
The Knapp girl was arrested some time
ago for robbing the home of a minister in
Elwood who had befriended her. Immedi-
ately after the robbery she left Elwood and
came TO this city, where she was arrested.
Owing TO her youth she was sent from the
Police Court to the Juvenile Court and was
allowed to go upon her own recognizance
until the following day by Judge Stubbs
Taking advantage of the kindness of the
judge the girl escaped, but was finally cap
tured by Bicyclemen Lowe and BernaueT

ON EVE OF CONVENTION
METzGER AND SMITH MEN
BOTH CLAIM COMMITTEE
Former Says He Has I25 Votes in
City and II in Country Out
side of Contests.
TEDIOUS BOARD SESSION
Impartial in Rulings, and Both
Sides Received Fair
Treatment.

After wrestling over twelve hours with
the contests filed over the Republican or
ganization primary the board of primary
election commissioners concluded its work
at IL 80 o'clock last night. The board heard
and disposed of twenty-four contests, TWEEN
ty-two of which were filed by the Smith
forces and two by the Metzger people. OF
the total number Metzger won thirteen of
the contests, Smith won seven and in four
of the precincts the board declared va
cancies.
The newly elected precinct committee
men will meet at 1:3o o'clock this after
noon in the Criminal Court room to effect
an organization, and on the eve of the
convention each of the candidates for coun-
ty chairman claims that his election is as
sured. Each maintains that the decisions
of the board of primary commissioners
will have no affect on the result, save a
slight change in the majority by which he
will be elected.
Mr.. Smith said yesterday that the more
detailed and more accurate returns from the
primaries gave him increased strength and
that the Craftsmanship was his. During the
day he claimed that he would have at least
160 votes in to-day's convention. Last night
of his closest lieutenants stated that on
the most conservative estimate Mr.. Smith
would be elected by a clear majority of
twenty. Further than this the Smith forces
would not give out their figures.
Mr.. Metzger and his friends went over the
situation precinct by precinct yesterday aft
ernoon and again last night. AS result of
their final computations they announced
that Metzger committeeman had been elect
ed in 125 precincts in the city and in seven
teen precincts in the out townships, total
of 142 votes of which they were assured.
They did not make their claims widely
known, but passed the word down the line
quietly and it was learned later that inn
mediately after their final conference a
large bundle" of Metzger money appeared
over town to back the assertions of the
Metzger people that they had won their
fight.
METZGER CLAIMS VICTORY.
"I could give you the names and precincts
of at least 142 committeeman who will vote
for me-" said Mr.. Metzger late last night,
when pressed for detailed figures to substan-
tiate his claims. However you will see
readily that if 1 did that L would merely
be playing into the hands of my opponents.
They are doubtless counting on votes that
/ am satisfied l shall get and if l gave my
figures in detail they would know exactly
into what wards and precincts to go to work
before the convention this afternoon.
1.-The figures i have given of 125 I'm the city
and seventeen in the country precincts, in
clude only the precincts where we are alb

not count on a single one of the contested
precincts in getting those totals. l am con-
fident that l shall get a number of other

CAR AND THE CzAR|NA
CONFESS THEIR SINS
Also Visit Imperial Tombs and
Pray, and Then Drive to
the Great House.
FATHER JOHN BLESSES

ST. PETERSBURG. Feb. 26.-Like mil
lions of their subjects, the Car and Car
ina to-day made confession of their sins.
Ii was day OF praise, as well as of prayer,
however, and the solemn rites attending
the ceremony of confession alternated with
thanksgivings for the news received from
the East. Their Majesties confessed in the
church of the Winter Palace to Court Chap
lain Yansheff and afterward walked in the
palace garden.
The visit of the Car and Czarina to the
imperial tombs in the Cathedral of st.
Peter and st. Paul and the fortress of ST.
Peter and st. Paul occurred this afternoon.
The appearance of their Majesties driving
out was considered by the crowds as an
augury of good news from the East and
they were cheered wildly as they crossed
the Neva. They prayed for a long time be-
side the tombs of the Cars father and
brother and a cheering multitude again
greeted them as they drove to the Chapel of
the Savior in Peter the Greats house.
which is short distance from the fortress,
where they attended a special service of
prayer.
A remarkable scene was witnessed at
Cronstadt tonight, where a general confess
sion was given by Father John of Cronstadt,
in st. Andrews Church. Since the beginning
of lent pilgrims have been arriving there
from throughout European Russia and the
lodging houses are full. The church was
thronged with worshippers and there was
an immense crowd outside. With the COM
mencement of the service the congregation
began to wall and their cries. groans and
shouts produced a weird effect. The tumut
ceased suddenly when Father John arose
and pronounced forgiveness of the sins of
all present.
