The fact that hundred and twen-
ty-hve persons died last week in New
York city from organic heart disease,
when the death rate the correspand.

rung, and Mary brings in candles, a

brightly polished, with snuffers on a
tray-a sharp beaked snuffers Of steel,
with jaws that opened and shut with q
snap and something sinister in their
appearance.
There were plated candlesticks and
snuffers, too, for occasions Of state
with silver branches that suggested the
spoils Of Jerusalem, but there was also
lamp, stately edifice Of bronze that
lowered over the family circle at times
and shed generous and genial ligh.

The Capital.

R It is not generally known, says the
philadelphia Record, but it is fact of
history nevertheless that Bristol town
ship, lying on the east side Of German
town, had very narrow escape from
being selected as the site of the capital
Of the United States. 1t was very
small matter that turned the choice to-
ward Maryland and Virginia. So posi-
tive were some members OF cong 'ess
that the capital was going to be located
near Germantown that they purchase !.
real estate there, not, Of course, as a
matter of speculation, bat simply to be
near at hand when the removal from
Philadelphia to Bristol took place.
When the vote Of the commissioners
was taken there was a tie, four being
for Bristol and four for the District of
Columbia. Washington cast the decid-
ing vote, and Bristol township was left
out in the cold.

Basket Bali.

b ~ ~
On Tuesday evening a large number
of spectators were out to witness the
first basket ball game of this
season. The game attracted some
unusual attention from the fact
that it was the first time the game
has been played here by young ladies'.
Both teams were made up of young
ladies of Oakes, which were distinguish
able by the colors, red and blue which
they wore. The game was more inter-
esting than the score would indicate
and considering the small amount Of
practice, which the teams have had,
was well played.
The score at the end of the first half
was 7-3 in favor Of the blue and the
game ended with a score Of 26-6 in
favor of the blue. The lineup was as
follows:

dood.Entertainment.

The faculty Of the Oakes high school
planned series of high class en-
tertainments for this winter. The
first Of these was given on Sat
urday evening at the Academy
of Music, and if the concert and read
ings given by the Royal Male Quartette
is a criterion of what is to follow the
holders of season tickets can well con-
gratulate themselves. Every number
on the splendid program was heartily
encored, and each time there was a
happy response.
The Royal Male Quartette is a good
one. The program was bright and
spicy; and the voices blend so well to-
gether that it suited the trained as
well as untrainedear. Mr.. Nicholas, the
firsttenor, is the best and we say itwith-
out hesitation that has ever appeared
before an Oakes audience. His voice
has depth and feeling, and the hearer
cannot help but be thrilled with his
solos. The, writer could almost feel
himself floating around on the air as
the singer proceeded. Mr.. Boyd, the
second tenor, is very good, but his
voice is not SO full of sympathy. Mr..
Evans, the first bass, and Mr.. Belding,
the second bass, took their parts ex-
cellently.
The program occupied two hours
time, and the large audience that was
present was well paid for the time
spent.

Minneapolis journal.
.sThe people of Arizona have right
to object to being forced into joint
statehood with New Mexico" said
Congressman Thos. F. Marshall of
Oakes, N. D., who is at the Hotel
Nicollet today. In company with eight
other congressman, Mr.. Marshall spent
two weeks in Arizona to investigate
personally the situation which is sure
to come up again this winter in con-
gress.
Tt was the opinion of our party"
said he, ttthat it would be absolutely
unfair to force this upon the people of
Arizona. Almost to man the people
Of the territory are up in arms against
the plan. The principal objection is
one of politics. The Mexican and
tgreaser' vote would dominate in the
combined state, and that would mean
everything thatAot wanted. There
are few Mexicans in Arizona-about as
many as there are Italians in North
Dakota-but New Mexico is full of
them. It is, therefore, easy to see
why Arizona objects.
..Our party was greatly pleased and
surprised to see the rapid strides Ari-
zona is making and the wonderful de-
velopment and richness of her resources.
Their cities are as fine as can be found
anywhere and are thoroughly up-to-date.
The wealthy men Of the territory are
united in pushing the territory to the
front.
Eve advised the people with whom
we talked not to worry, but to wait q
a few years. In that time their popu-
lation will have considerably increased
and the territory can make a demand
for statehood that will be needed. The
people Of the entire territory are
aroused and alive to the question. We
were entertained and shown every at
tention everywhere. Even the children
are Arizona boosters"
