WANTS TO GIVE.

St. Louis, Mo, Oct Three suits
Of mems attire misplaced on feminine
forms caused the biggest social uproar
that ever stirred THE 900 inhabitants Of
Eureka, St. Louis county 1t is such
a serious matter that three young wo-
men, one of them a school teacher, who
wore the three suits of mems clothes
have expressed the intention Of fling
some sort Of a lawsuit against young
st. Louis lawyer.
s Somebody told him about it and
then he told, and that made all the
trouble, declared the young women,
aand We are all going to prosecute him
for it.
On what charge?' they were asked.
oh, we don't know, but we are just
going to prosecute him.
The three young women Miss Lii
liam Bacon, teacher in the primary class
Of the Eureka public school; Miss Lot
tie Votaw and Miss Bessie yotaw-
in confessing, say they did only what
other Eureka woman have done when
ever they felt moved to play real
thrilling, delightful adventure.

EXPECTING HAPPY EVENT.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 7.-It has just
been officially announced that the em-
press of Russia is once more about
to become mother and DIR. Otthe,
the eminent physician who is always in
attendance upon the czarina on such
occasions, has taken up his residence
in the imperial palace. Hopes are en-
tertained that the next baby may prove
a boy, SO as to still further insure the
direct succession of the crown, which
now depends upon the life Of the infant
czarewitch, born on July 80, 1904, and
who is, therefore, now just fourteen
months old.
The official announcement has made
"A good impression among the people
in all parts of the empire, particularly
among the lower and middle classes.
Although not Of as great importance as
the birth OF the czarewitch, the birth
of the new child will be generally ceIe-
brated. "a

Hillsboro, N. D., Oct. 7.--Never in
the history OF the state has there been
50 much agitation prior to state cam
paign. Never before has the state press
discussed the issues so thoroughly and
SO far in advance A certain so-called
reform element seems to be budding
out in various localities. <E.% "
The most interesting feature OF the
coming campaign as far as Traill coun-
ty is concerned promises to be the Sc
lection of state senator for the legis-
lative5 district on the east side of the
county. Hillsboro is in the center of
the district, and there are those who
believe that next time the county seat
should have the privilege of naming
the senator. But as several Of the
county officials were selected from
Hillsboro it is probable that some out
side precinct will claim the right to
name again the senator. a..
The fact that the nominations will be
made next spring under primary cleo
tion system gives promise that there
will be free-for-all scramble for all
the political. offices. 1t is conceded
that the next session of the legislature
Willsre-apportion the state and Trail
will have the opportunity to elect two
state senator's. Thus there is every
reason to believe that the race 70 Sc
