was told by each one present, and games
appropriate 10 the day were played. A
feature of the evening was the singing
of Fan Tan song, written for the occa-
sion by one of the members, which was
enthusiastically applauded. Elegant re-
freshments in great quantity and variety
were served.
That there will be something doing
with the Fan Tans this week as we'll as
most other weeks is evident from the
invitations sent out, one of which has
accidentally strayed into the possession
of the Democrat. IL is self-explanatory:

The Chick murder case has been the
great centre of attraction for the people
of these two towns during the past week.
Half the women of the two places have
got their work done up at the earliest
possible moment so as to be on hand,
and an hour before the time of opening
court the crowd would begin to fill the
streets travelling toward the court house
to get a seat and hold it. At almost
every session during the trial the court
room was packed. What's the use to
talk about the newspapers making a
sensation of murder case, with such
plain evidence of what the people want?
Mrs. C. G. Andrews is at homo from
North Arson, where she has been with
her son, Dr. 4. G. Andrews, most of the
time since the death of his wife. DIR.
Andrews house was burned early in the
morning of Sunday, the 18th, the fire
catching near the furnace. Mrs. An
drews and her two grandchildren were
the only occupants Of the house when
the fire was discovered, and they were
not awakened until it got considerable
Roadway. Mrs. Andrews was slightly
burned on hot register. The buildings
were entirely destroyed, but portion Of
the furniture, and the horses in the
stable, were saved.

SAN FRANCISCO.

Three fourths of San Francisco in
ashes and 300, 900 out of 4O0, 600 of it;
citizens homeless is the summary of the
most awful catastrophe that has ever
occurred on this continent. What it all
means is beyond comprehension. A
number of smaller cities have the same
record Of desolation and death. The one
bright spot is the grand manifestation ol
human sympathy and charity. Long be.
fore the city ceased 10 burn, relief trains
were started at mile a minute speed
loaded with supplies and provisions,
and millions of dollars subscribed fo,
relief. But the charity however great
will not pay the losses. At most it will
only help the helpless to get another
start in the world. Thousands of mer
who were welI-to-do week ago, to-day
have nothing, not even clothing anc
food for themselves and families.
San Francisco from it's natural posi-
ton on the only good harbor for hund
reds Of miles of coast, will certainly be
built up again, but the whole Pacific
region will suffer great loss in tourist
travel and immigration for many years
Our sympathies are with the stricken.

The letters written to the Herald b,
its special correspondent from Pembins
county seem to have produced back
action effect. The St. Thomas Times
Neche Chrontype and the Cavalier
Chronicle editorlally comment last week
to the effect that the correspondent had
mlsrepresented public sentiment entirely
in those localities, and a letter from
Walhalla signed by several of the prom.
inent citizens of that place repudiated
the idea as given by the correspondent
that the late city election there had any.

Aug. Short. the member of the repub
lican state committee this district was a,
Fargo last Friday at the meeting of the
committee. The basis of representation
for the slate convention was made and
the date and place Of convention settled.
The basis Of representation is to be
two delegates at large for each county
and one delegate for each l25 votes
averaged from the highest and loves,
vote given republican state candidates.
Under this apportiohment some OF the
delegations from the larger counties will
be as follows:-Ward "a. Cass 81, Grand
Forks q. Rlchland 10, Mclean and
Walsh u each, Pembina, Barnes,
Bottineau and Stutsman 16, McHenry
Is. Cavalier "A, Morton and Ramsey l3,
Benson, Burleigh, Trail and Wells 12.
The great immigration to the western

of delegates from that part Of the state
much larger. The place Of the conven-
tion is jamestown and the time is July
18th.

DOWIE.

The success of thousands of lesser and
hundreds of greater prophets" prove
the credulity of mankind. The fable of
the "Pied Piper of Hamlin" is enacted
over and over with the children of larger
growth, and "What fools we mortals be-
is shown by the many who follow the
delusions of self-appointed religious
leaders.
A discussion of the psychological
reasons of the apparent weakness of the
hnman mind in reference to religious
matters might be of interest to the
philosopher; but the fact, while perhaps
almost inexplicable, is yet fact. Given
| certain quality Of mind akin to hypno-
tism in certain men, and such men have
no difficulty in gathering about them
otherwise sensible, men and women who
will believe almost anything that the
leader may say.
Another, peculiarly of these leaders
and to further show their power over
their deluded followers, is the fact that
they are able under the guise of religion
to persuade people to give up their most
cherished possessions of family and
property. Married people part with one
another, with children, money and lands.
In fact it is one of the certainties of all
these new religions that the devotee
shall give all he has to the prophet"
There is however in most cases. an
other peculiarly common to them all;
they can build more eHectually than
they can manage.
In the case OF Mormonism, the persons
who killed Joe Smith thinking to stop
his doctrines with his life, made the
greatest error possible. If Joe Smith
had been permitted to live there would
have been no Mormons to-day. When
he died and the Mormons moved west
to Utah, then through the environments
in that new land, real leaders arose,
who managed successfully where Joe
Smith would hive made an absolute
failure.
This fact is illustrated by the troubles
of Dowie. He has built up a bigger
thing than he can handle,-and the end
is apparently not far away. The longer
he lives the less Zion" will want of
Dowie. For the sake of appearances, to
hold the people together, and to save
their own faces the leaders now in power
may give Dowie sort of religious
patriarchial position, tut his real leader
ship is over, because he has tailed to
make good. There's nothing succeeds
like success and there's nothing fails
like failure.
But other Dowie's and Joe Smiths will
rise in the future and the people will
follow just the same as they have hereto
fore. Liberty, how many crimes are
committed in thy name, Religion,
how many fools are made in thy name.

WILL SUPPORT THE BILL

We notice that several papers make
the statement and comment edttorially
to the effect that Senator McCumbel
will oppose the railroad rate bill. The
following extract from the Congressional
Record does not seem as though these
editors were working on the facts ofthe
case.
''Mr. Beveridge. Is it the Senator's
position, then, that not only the present
proposed law should not be enacted, but
that the existing law on the same subject
should be repealed?
Mr.. McCumber. In my opinion, the
presen. proposed law should be enacted
with modification. So that may not
be misunderstood, will state that l ex-
pect to support the law which the wis
dom or unWisdom of the Senate shall
deem to be for the best interest of the
American people, but ] think however,
it should be modified
In Mr.. McC cCumber's speech his propos-
ed amendments seem to be founded on
the following basis which we take from
the Globe.
The railroadf give to the West rates
that make it possible for tito compete
with ti1eeastern agriculturist. and drive
him out Of his own fields, and as result
