Someone whispered nervousIy to q
neigGDor. One or two men lifted their
heads and drew quick breaths. People
glanced from side to SIDE and lew
feet shufied uneasiIy. Then a tiny
puff Of smoke came from the left
wing and travelled as far as the middle
Of the stage. It was followed by a
larger, rolling cloud. The effect was in
stantaneous-
"Firei" shrieked shriI1 voice, and
a woman started up franticaIly. Fire!
FIRE."
IN an instant the huge theatre was
a seething, swaying mass; from all
sides burst screams, sobs, and oaths.
For 2 few seconds people were pushed
in pUrpoSeless groups hither and thith-
er. Then suddenly the crowd broke
into rocking unwieIdly sections, each
pushing, fighting, tearing towards the
nearest exit.
In the middle of the house, very
still, sat a group of three. The Woman
was in the middle, the Husband on her
right, the Other Man On her left. For
the first few seconds It seemed as II
they must be swept off their seats.
Then with quick movement the
Other Man wheeled half round on his
chair, put one hand on the back Of
the Woman's seat and the other on the
seat before her. The Husband silent
ly followed his example. They were
both big. strong men. Their hands
met in a steady grip behind and in
front Of her. Thus till the rush was
over they formed a human cage for
her protection, shunting off by their
braced rigid frames, their crowding,
frantic neighhors
"'Thank you," she said quitely, when
the middle Of the theatre was deserted.

Suddenly the f1reproof curtain be-

hideous by fear.
A sea Of other faces, stamped with
every shade Of terror and ferocity,
turned towards the stage at the cry.
For an instant the tumult sank to some
thing like silence. Hope and thankful
ness arose in thousand breasts. Then
the tumult began again.

FEAT OF AMATEUR ROBBER.
Met with Entire Success i'm Separa-
ting hfan From His Watch.

If man who was robbed Of a gold
watch in Chicago, under peculiar con-
ditions which he will recognize from
the recital Of the adventure by the rob-
Der, will communicate with Hobart J.
Allen, of Irving Park, Chicago, he can
have back his timepiece, along with a
profuse apology.
Mr. Allen recently bought revolver
to protect himself from ho1d-up men
who have feeced several victims in a
long subway under the Northwestern
Railway tracks. He was kept at his
business until quite late one night re-
Gently, and starting home he put his
pistol in his pocket with feeling Of
much satisfaction.
The approach to the subway was
dimly lighted by single lamp He
plunged into the cavern and walked
through. A figure dimmed the exit
and as the two men met, the roar Of
passing trains startled them, and they
brushed each other in passing. a mo-
ment later Allen felt for his watch
It was not in his pocket. He ran back
through the subway and overlook the
other man just as he was emerging.
Hand over that watch or I'll blow
your head off" he shouted. The man
leaped over a stone abutTnent and ran,
Allen followed and cornered him a.
gafnst a wall
"I1l give you another chance" he
said, 1eveling his revolver. The man,
apparently too frightened to speak,
gave him the watch.
Allen went home and told his wife
Of his adventure.
why, your watch is in there on the
dresser; you didn't take it with you,
she exclaimed. Now Allen is looking
for the man he held up.

The story runs that a beautiful
young woman, daughter of rich par

mutual, but her family aspired to a
wealthy alliance. Finally, flial duty
won the day and the girl was led to

CERTAIN OF FULFLLMENT.

1t should be borne in mind that Mr..
j. j. Hills prediction that within the
next ten years Grand Forks is des-
tined to be Il city of 10000 souls is
not the idle vaporings of dreaming
visionary, but rather the words of one
who, on two continents, has the we'll
earned reputation of having but few
peers in the world of business,
profound thinker, logical reasoner,
keen discerner and, withal. man of
most excellent judgment
TO the careless and unthinking Mr..
Hills prophecy will appear, perhaps,
ridiculous, but never in the past thir-
ty odd years has his judgment in SIM
liar matters been found to be at
fault, nor will it be in this instance.
That Grand Forks possesses every
necessary qualification to make good
Mr.. Hills prediction is beyond doubt
1t has the position geographically;
it is the logical base of supplies for
one of the richest sections of country
on the continent, Il region so vast as
to be a veritable empire; it's business
men and those in whom it's future well
fare lies are mostly young men, large
ly endowed with the push of the typi-
cal westerner combined with the
shrewdness of the Yankee; men who
are noted for their lavish liberality
when the interests OF the city is in
question and who, seemingly, never
tire in their efforts to make the good
of the municipality identical with
their own.
There be many other reasons why
the Great Northern magnate's pro-
phecy is certain of fulfillment as fate,
but those given are the principal ones
and are sufficient for the present.
All that is necessary to hasten the
condition foretold is a spontaneity of
action on the part of our citizens gen.
orally in the advancement of the city's
interests, determination on the part
of all to consider themselves integral
factors in heralding the rare induce
ments offered by Grand Forks to the
| capitalist, the manufacturer, the bust
| ness man and the seeker after a most
desirable abiding place, that they may
thereby be induced to cast their lot

I North Dakota Song OF Content,

&C. Il. W." in The Bottineau Courant.)
A nook among the hills, little farm,
Whose fertile acres yield us daily
A homely, low rowed dwelling, snug
and warm,
With wide blue mountain skies hung
No costly splendor here, no gilded glow;
No dear bought pictures hang upon the
But bright and happy faces come and
go,
And through the windows Gods sweet
sunshine falls.
We are not rich in heaps of boarded
gold;
Nor poor indeed, for we can keep at bay
The poor mans hunting spectres, want
and cold,
Can keep from owing debts we cannot
With wholesome plenty is our table
With genial comfort glows our even
The fierce night winds may battle over
Safe is our shelter though the strife
be dire.
storms are DER,
Here come the first birds of the early
spring,
And build their cunning nests beside
Teaching. sweet lessons as they work
and sing.
What though the rooms be small and
low the roof?
What though we can but offer simple
fare?
1t matters not; SO friendships warp
and wool
Are of spun gold, and so we need not
care.
We see the small go up. the great come
down,
And bless the peaceful safety of our lot,
The broken sceptre and the topping
CROWN
And crash of falling throncs-these
shake us not
We have some weary toll to struggle
through,
Some trials that we bravely strive to
meet:
We have our sorrows as all mortals do:
We have our joys too, pure calm and
sweet.
Is such a life too even in it's flow?
Too silent, calm, or barren of events?
It's simple joys too still?I do not know;
l think he conquers all, who wins con-
tent.

AN EXISTING EVIL.

The wide open town is largely a
thing of the past in this state, as the
term is popularity used to designate
the policy of allowing, if not counter
ancing, all sorts of immoral practices
There is no town anywhere free
from that class of persons who pros
per by their immortality, and never
will be until the character of the hui
man race is changed, and the coarser
elements of nature eliminated.
But it is not necessary that these
evils should impudently faunt their
ticket offices for damnation in the face
of respectfully, nor receive the Off
cial sanction of those charged with the
execution of municipal governments.
The elimination of some of these
evils have been the study of the wis
dom of the ages, and the present CEN
fury is as far from solution of the
matter as was the first.
But means of suppression have been
found which are practical and go far
toward destroying the effects. But this
suppression is the result, first of
vigorous. though not fanatical, public
sentiment, and second of vigorous
prosecution of all violations OF the
law by the proper officers
These two things have been largely,
If not wholly, responsible for the up
holding of the law in many communi-
ties throughout the state.
On the other hand there be many
cities, towns and hamlets where the
sentiment of the people is in favor of
the open or surreptitious violation of
the law, notably the prohibition of the
liquor traffic, because of an existing
! belief that the law is an unjust one,
{ simply rejecting the wishes of a large
minority of the populace who are held
In contempt as puritanical fanatics,
and largely for this reason, the author
tiles, mindful of the source from
whence they receive their tenure of
Office, are all too prone to remain in
apparent blissful ignorance of the ex-
listing condition of things within their
jurisdiction.
That such condition of affairs is
inexcusably wrong admits of no argu-
ment. When law is enacted, be it
just or unjust, it is entitled to re-
spect and enforcement so long as it
remains on the statute books, and Of
fcers, solemnly sworn to uphold the
majesty of the law, are perjurers as
we'll as particeps criminis who know
ingly allow the same to be violated.
II the present prohibition law is I'M
just, and therefore repugnant to the
majority of the electors of the state,
4 there exists an ample and certain
remedy in their own hands that of
repeal, but until such remedy is en-
ployed It must remain a law, and as
such is entitled to be, and should be,
undeviatingly enforced.
