When the Women Vote.

The Bachelor Girl once saw a state

OF her sex she had set down every
penny, and itemized 1t. One item

funny for words in that
Another time an active young

The monster circus is here-the
first of the season. and the only great
show that will visit Cairo this year.
Fortunately ii is the great Adam Fore
paugh-Sells Brothers show. than
which there is no grander nor more
colossal amusement enterprise in ex
istence. The Illinois Central railroad
yards early this morning were CON,
gested with four immense trains of
golden chariots, proud pranclng
ponies, mastodonic elephants and a
world of the earth's wondrous beings.
Hundreds of people. at the hour Ut
going to press, were vending their
way to the scene of activity and ami
nation. to watch the fascinating pro
| cess of unloading theis vast migratory
colony of wonders and its transfer to
its home, for one day, on the Missis-
sippi levee near Twentieth street. In
| fact. the crowd of sight-seers was OF
such proportions as to quite interfere
| with the vast work In hand, but the
| employees of the big show as rule
looked generously upon the obstruc-
tlonists. while few others cast I'm
patient glances at the sight-seers and
yelled "out the way, there or simply

Judging from the great number o.

that passed up the streets TO the show

They were married last winter. She
was putting up onions-a decidedly

something between closed teeth.
"What in the world are you keeping

"She removed it long enough to
say: ITO keep the onions from hurt

minute.
"Do you mean to say that will do

"She nodded. The pin was in it's

The Russian and japanese peace
commissioners are busy at Ports.
mouth, New Hampshire. First, after
considerable preliminary sparring on
both sides, the Japs presented their
demands. The Russians, in reply, OBJ
jected to the terms as a whole. They
were willing to agree to some Of them:
but there were among them, as a
whole, a few propositions that Russia
would not consent. to. The principal
objection was made to the item of in.
demnity and to the item asking that
the island of Saghalien become Japan
ese. Opinion all over the world is
very much divided as to whether the
peace commissioners will be able to
agree or whether the war will go on.
In the meantime, it is reported that
Oyama's forces in Manchuria are ready
to advance at short notice, and that
the army Of Gen. Linevitch is in no
condition to withstand them. The
army correspondents Of the daily press
also assert that Vladivostock will
yield much easier to u japanese siege
than did Port Arthur.

Funeral of rlrs. Bosch.

The death OF Mrs. John Bosch, OF
Linton, was announced last week.
The remains arrived from Bismarck
last Friday, and the funeral took
place next day at the cemetery near
Strasburg. There was a large attend
ancc at the funeral. The services
were conducted by the Rev. Fir.
SchweiZer at the Church OF SITS. Peter
and Paul.
Mrs. Bosch was about IS years of
age at the time OF her death. She was
born in the Crimea, South Russia.
She had been married to Mr.. Bosch
about fifteen years. She and her hus-
band came from Russia about thirteen
years ago. Her maiden name was
Jennie Moch.
Deceased left no children. One son
had been born to Mr.. and Mrs. Bosch,
but he lived to be only fourteen
months old.
There is much sympathy for Neigh
Dor Bosch in his great loss.

Back From the West.

Hazelton Republican: G. A. Riggs,
who has been enjoying Il vacation OF
about nine months, during which
time he visited In Montana. Oregon,
Colorado, Washington and California,
again greeted Hazelton friends last
Friday afternoon. He visited for
some time with the family of Fl. ID.
Connor and with John Perry, former
Emmons county residents, at Fruita,
Colorado. Both arc nicely situated
on irrigated farms and both apparent
ly prospecting. In the Bitter Root
Valley, in Montana, Mr.. Riggs visited
Mr.. and Mrs. f. G. Packer, parents Of
Mrs. f. IL. Cotton, of Braddock, and
themselves pioneer residents OF this
section. Mr.. Packer has farm of
eighty acres, most Of which is irri-
gated, and where they successfully
raise fruits us we'll rs farm crops.
Their son, Howard, is practicing law
in Il near by town. Though Mr.. Riggs
saw much beautiful country in the
west, his conversation leads us to be-
lieve that none Of it offers greater in
ducements to the average home.seeker
than does North Dakota. While
some sections he visited were con.
sidered more desirable than this, yet
serious drawback could be found in
most of tllem. MIR. Riggs has not
yet made known his plans for the
future, but we predict that he will
continue TO reside in Elnmons county,
and, as he has never had any serious
grievance against this section, such a
course would be easy.

A BIG HAIL STORM
ACROSS THE LINE


Telephone messages from Eureka.
Aberdeen and from many points in
this county show that the heavy
precipitation OF yesterday morning
did not develop into hail anywhere
north Of the state line.
At Linton there was one OF the
heaviest falls of water we have had
this season, but there were no hail
stones.
Reports from Eureka, Aberdeen and
Mound City, however, are Of Il differ
ent nature. Between Eureka, Aber-
deem and east, west and south Of
Mound City, hail wiped out everything.
1t is yet impossible to approximate
the extent Of the damage.
Excepting the loss by Messrs. Petrie
and Backhaus, near Linton, several
weeks ago, the loss of Wednesday
night is the first we have heard of in
this part Of the country, ON either
side Of the state line.
Later telephOnic reports from Eu-
rcka say that there was next thing to
Il cloud-burst in the country hailed
out. Some Of the grain already in
shock stands in ponds OF water, and
much of the hay is damaged by The
tremendous rainfall.
The area of the hail-storm is large.
1t is reported to extend east from
Gale, in Campbell county, S. D.,
about ten miles south Of the Emmons
county line, to Hosmer, some forty or
forty-fve miles distant, and is fifteen
to twenty miles in width.
