 One Exception.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT
 SHOWS GOOD CONDITION.

The annual meeting Of the Arizona Fair association has been held at Phoe- nix. there being 40 1-2 of the 5G5 i-2 issued shares of the stock of tae cor poration represented either m ,.ersor or by proxy. The meeting was pre- sided over by J. c. Adams, president. and P. A. Tharaldson. secretary.
 The election of the board of di- rectors resulted in the reelection of every member of the old board ex- ccpt Kira L. Hart, who has left the territory. Shirley Christy was elected to succeed Mir. Hart. The new board is therefore composed of the following gentlemen: J. c. Adams, l. T. Stod- dard, Charles Goldman. H. J. McClung. B. A. Packard, Louis Merczer, Walter Bennett, s. A. Chrisly, P, A, Tharald. son.
 < few scattering votes were cast Tor ether candidates for director. but there were no close contests. The tellers were Roy Goodrich, Paul Brizzard and Earl Porter.
 The reports of the officers made a very pleasing showing in general, a brief synopsis of the situation being that the association now owns a plant that could not be replaced for less than $40.0o0. and It is all paid for except a little over s6,000. The total iiablli- ties of the association are s6,61i69. There are a few shares of stock part ly paid for which undoubtedly will | e paid for in full very soon. making as al set of s650. and which is caIri d in the treasury as cash.
 Taking the cash balance rom the liabilities. there Is considerably less than s6,000 indebtedness. There are
 few shares of stock, subscribed a!so D nr. on which rothi E has been paid yet, but Y ,s

TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN

/ consider it my duty to
Aaker's Business College, Fargo,
N. Dak., to say a few words in
behalf of the school.
I attended two business col
leges previous to enrolling at the
A. B. c., and learning of the
superior advantages offered by
that school, I enrolled there in
Jan. 06, taking up the steno-
graphic course, and I have been
well repaid for the change l made.
Gregg shorthand with the able
corps of instructors is the best
that can be obtained.
I was placed in position as
soon as competant, which posi-
ton I have held for some time.

Council Says No.

At the meeting of the City
Council Monday evening the
Northwestern Telephone Co.,
which is building a line thru from
Fargo to Devils Lake by way OF
this line, made application for a
franchise to enter this city. The
company was turned down by
the council. Such propositions
should be given considerable
thought and consideration, as it is
g question in which we are all
more or less interested. In our
opinion the council made a mis-
take in turning down the pro-
position without giving it at least
a weeks consideration and
thoroughly weighing the ques.
ton and learning the sentiment
of the public. We understand
that some of the members of the
council did not know there was
such a proposition to come be
fore them. From what we car
learn there is considerable
opposition to the action of tht
council in the matter. The com
pany we are told will put in I
booth nevertheless. The actor
of the council will keep them from
maintaining pay station dow
town.

Contest Filed.

In the matter of the senatorial
contest of which the Pioneer
spoke a couple of weeks ago, in
which we predicted there would
be a contest for the senatorial
honors from this district, we will
say at this time, that the papers
in the case were served on Mr..
Crane last Saturday. Mr.. Crane
has ten days in which to file his
answer after which the papers
are filed with the Secretary Of
State and not until the state SEN
ate convenes will it he known
who is to represent the 10Th leg
islative district in that honorable
body. The case will be watched
with considerable interest by
friends of both parties.
Last nights Fargo Forum had
the following communication,
which is headed, CRANE WILL
DROP OUT",:
Valley City, Dec. 5.-It is
understood that Senator May.
nard Crane, of Cooperstown, will
retire from the senate without
an election contest. Washburn
of Hope, is the democratic candi
date. Crane holds the certificate

one precinct there were three
sample ballots cast. One of them
was marked for Crane and count
ed. Two were marked for Wash
burn and not counted. The
democrats will contest the cleo
ton and as Crane has but one
majority it will defeat him.
The Pioneer is authorized to
state that there is no foundation
to the article and that Senator
Crane will be in the contest to
the finish.

Presence of Mind.

On one occasion a great public din
ner was given to Isaac Hull by the
town of Boston and he was asked to
sit for his picture to Gilbert Stuart,
the celebrated artist, who was a great
braggart. When Hull visited his
studio Stuart took great delight in en-
tertaining him with anecdotes of his
English success, stories of the marquis
of this and the baroness of that, which
showed how elegant was the society
to which he had been accustomed.
Unfortunately, in the midst of this
grandeur, Mrs. Stuart, who did not
know that there was sitter, came in
with apron on and her head tied up
with some handkerchiefs, from the
kitchen, and cried out: do you mean
to have that leg of mutton boiled or
roasted?" To which Stuart replied,
with great presence of mind, TASK your
mistress. Chicago Chronicle.

Couldn't Get Sweet Peach, but Did
Not Return Empty
Handed.

Ignorance is bliss" but one of the
bell-boy's connected with a certain ho-
tel in town is inclined to doubt the old
maxim, says the Albany Journal The
boy in question is now endeavoring to
learn the names of all the flowers
that grow, because of an absurd mis-
take which he made a short time ago.
1t seems that gentleman and his
wife, who is very fond of flowers, and
particularly sweet peas, put up at the
hotel the other night. She asked her
husband to send and get her a bunch
of sweet peas, so he rang for a boy,
and when the youngster appeared the
man handed him bill and told him
to bring up some sweet peas. The boy
looked at the man in doubt and amaze
ment for moment. but took the bill
and left the room rather reluctantly.
1t was some time before he returned:
in fact, the young couple became tired
of waiting for him. At last he did
come, however. but with bundle in
his arms done up brown paper. The
poor boy was all out of breath and as
he laid the package on the table he
exclaimed:

both ends in a strenuous endeavor to
clear the decks for a possible battle
royal at the capital, events of a nina
tory nature were shaping themselves
elsewhere.
To bring these events down to their
focusing point in the period of transit
ton, it is needful to go back a little:
to a term of the circuit court held
in the third year of CASTOR the pros
porous.
Who Mrs. Melissa Varnum was;
how she came to be travelling from
Midland City to the end of the track
on scalper's ticket; and in what
manner she was given her choice of
paying fare to the conductor or leav-
ing the train at Gaston-these are de-
tails with which We need not concern
ourselves. Suffice it to say that Kent,
then local attorney for the company,
mastered them; and when Mrs Var
mum, through Hawk, her counsel, sued
for $4,000 damages, he was able to
get continuance, knowing from long
experience that the jury would GER
were then allowed to go to trial.
And at the succeeding term of court,
which was the one that adjourned on
the day of Kent's transfer to the CAPT.
tai, two of the company's best wit
nesses had disappeared; and the one
bit of company business Kent had been
successful in doing that day was to
q hn ,iy,ey
trial of the Varnum case
1t was while Kent's head was deep
est in the flood of reorganization that
letter came from one Blashfield
Hunnicott, his successor in the local
attorneyship at CASTOR, asking for in
structions in the Varnum matter
Judge MacFarlane's court would con-
vene in a week. Was he, Hunnicott,
to let the case come to trial? Or should
he-the witnesses still being unpro-
ducible-move for a further continu-
ance?
Kent took his head out of the cross
seas long enough to answer. By all
means Hunnicott was to obtain an
other continuance, if possible. And
If, before the case were called, there
should be any new developments, he
was to wire at once to the general
office, and further instructions would
issue.
1t was about this time, or, to be
strictly accurate, on the day preceding
the converting of Judge MacFarlane's
court In CASTOR, that Governor Bucks
took short vacation-his first since
the adjournment of the assembly.
Late that same night, Stephen Hawk
was keeping a rather discomforting
vigil with a visitor in the best suite
OF rooms the Continent Hotel in
CASTOR afforded. The guest of honor
was brother lawyer-though he might
have refused to acknowledge the rela-

THE ANSWER.

We miss her so. we grieve day after day
That she is gone-and since she went
away
The world seems empty. Fen the fiow-
ers of spring
Seem no more bright. The song birds,
when they sing,
Make not such music now as once they
made
Before into the Unknown Land she
strayed
Can 1t be true that she is happy now,
While sorrows sore our burdened spirits
bow?
Yes she: e.. in that fair land where no tears
Knows. not as we who only know in
part,
Sees, not as We see with tear-blinded
eyes
She understands now all life's mysteries;
Gods dealings now by her are under
stood,
She sees how all things work to US for
good
Fen things which we call sorrow, pain
and loss:
She sees the crown eternal, not the cross,
She knows that all Gods ways to us
are love,
And she is happy in that home above.
A few brief years of separation, then,
Never to parted be, Wen meet again!

CHAPTER VIII.
THE LAWMAKERS.

By the terms of its dating clause
the new trust and corporation law be-
came effective at once, ''the public
welfare requiring it,; and though
there was an immediate sympathetic
decline in the securities involved,
there was no panic, financial or indus
trial, to mark the change from the
old to the new.
Contrary to the expectations of the
alarmists and the lawyers, and some
what to the disappointment of the
latter, the vested interests showed no
disposition to test the constitutional
ity of the act in the courts. So far
indeed, from making difficulties, the
various alien corporations affected by
the new law wheeled promptly into
line in compliance with its provis-
ions, vieing with one another in prov
ing, or seeming to prove, the time
worn aphorism that capital can never
afford to be otherwise than strictly
law-abiding.
In the reorganization Of the Western
Pacific, David Kent developed at once
and heartily into that rare and
much-sought-for quantity, a man for
an emergency. Loring, also, was
busy man in this transition period, yet
he found time to keep an appreciative
eye on Kent, and, true to his implied
promise, pushed him vigorously for the
first place in the legal department of
the localized company. Since the resi-
dent manager stood high in the Bos-
ton counsels of the company, the push
ing was not without results; and
while David Kent was still up to his
eyes in the work of flogging the affairs
of the newly named Trans-Western
into conformity with the law, his ap-
pointment came from the advisory
board.
So it befell that while the newly ap-
pointed general counsel of the reor-
ganized Western Pacific was boiling
his meals and clipping the nights at

CARE OF THE BLIND.
BY FAR LARGEST NUMBERS
COME FROM THE POOR.
The United States Regards, Their
Rights - Not Mere Charity Pa
tients-Late Years Show Marked
Improvement in Their Status.

When we learn that most of the
blind are born of the poor, we ge.
some realization of the sad state OF
those thus afflicted. Poor and blind"
is phrase of ancient import.
In modern times there has been
much alienation of their condition.
With the improvement in cleanliness
and in sanitary appliances at orphan
asylums and houses of refuge, blind
ness has decreased in the United
States in recent years." And there
has been marked change in the life
of those suffering from the affection
They are no longer the ignorant, de-
pendent, wretched class of days pre-
ceding intelligent public provision
for their needs. Much of the change
is due to the blind themselves, whose
eagerness and hopefulness has led them
from dependence into useful and hon
Orable careers.
The United States had held a dis
tinct place in the work tor the blind.
1t had not taken the European atti-
tude that what work was done for
these unfortunates was in the nature
of charity, but has put them in a
position where they were equals with

Moon Lunacy.

How much basis is there for the
notion that the moon is a cause of
lunacy? In a book recently publish
ed in London the author. Basil Lub-
book, who is traveller of experience,
says:
Many a time have l hauled sleep
ing man out of the glare of the tropi.
cal moon for fear of it's direfuI beams.
and many time have l had the like
service done to me.
If lucky, one gets off with moon
blindness" or a queer and unpleas-
ant contraction of the muscles of one
side of the face, but idiocy, says Mr..
Lubbock, is often induced. 1t is GER
tainly a very old and widespread
opinion, though perhaps it has never
been adequately tested by science.

"a late attack of conscience, eh?"
sneered the governor, who was sober

ton or two. How much was that Sc
curity debt your son-in-law let you in

"It was $4,000 1t is an honest
debt, and l shall pay it,
"But not out of the salary of cir

yet out of the fees you make your
clerks divide with you. And that isn't
all. Have you forgotten the gerry
mander business? How would you
like to see the true inwardness of that
in the newspapers"

turing hand had struck him.

not going to do anything technically
illegal; but, by the gods, you are going
to walk the line laid down for you.
If you don't, shall give the documents
in the gerrymander affair to the pa
pers the day after you fail. Now we'll
go and see Falkland.''
MacFarlane made one last protest.
For Gods sake, Bucks! spare me
that. 1t is nothing less than the foul
est collision between the judge, the
counsel for the plaintiff-and the
DEVIL"
"Cut that out, too, and come along"
said the governor, brutally; and by the
steadying help of the chair, the door
post and the wall of the corridor, he
led the way to the parlor suite on the
floor below.
The conference in Falklapd's rooms
was chiefly monologue with the
sharp-spoken New York lawyer in the
speaking part. When it was concluded
the judge took his leave abruptly,
pleading the lateness of the hour and
his duties for the morrow. When he
was gone the New Yorker began again.
You won't want to be known in
this, take it," he said, nodding at the
governor. "Mr. Hawk here will an

IN THE KNITTING CLASS,

the other wards of the state, the pub
lie school children. The education OF
the blind forms an integral part of
our educational system.
In this country a blind child re-
ceives the same instruction as is
given in the best common schools
They are taught the elements of voca;
and instrumental music They are
trained in some simple .handwork, the
intention being that they may become
self supporting. 1t is believed there
is larger proportion Of self-support-
ing blind persons in the United States
than in any other country.
Statistics show that scarcely two
tenths of the graduates from institu-
tons for the blind practice the handi-
crafts learned therein. Most of the
graduates resort to various branches
of the musical profession, teaching the
elements of vocal and instrumental
music, playing upon organs, tuning
pianos, or trading in musical instru-
ments. Some graduates take petty
agencies. and with guide go about
-
account. Others, favored by frien'
find employment in some of the
adjustments where hand-work, COM
bined with a certain amount of head
work, is required. A few work dill
gently at their trades, and earn an
honest and comfortable livelihood"
In New York city education for the
cent article in the New York Worll
calls attention to three graduates of
the New York Institution for the
Blind; one, Mr.. Eben Murford, who
manages a factory in which only
blind men are employed; Prof Carl,
professor of mathematics at Columbia
university, and Thomas Dagnia, the
organiSt.
A book whose aim is to direct the
blind how best to employ their time
has appeared in France, the author, Z
famous Oculist who at the age of 81
was suddenly stricken with blindness.
The book is unique, deals with the
heart of things, shows what are the
daily frets of the blind man-which
mount into SO much of the tragedy of
his life. One thing that specially i'm
pressed us was the evil accruing from
telling blind man lies, the admoni-
ton always to be exact in statements
made to the sightless. II a man lack
ing eyes cannot put trust in those with
whom he holds converse, life is made
very dark for him indeed. Two ways
of adding to the joys Of the blind per-
sons life also were of much interest:
one, taking him to the theater, a good
seat in the front near the middle hav-
ing been provided and the play pre-
viously explained, then, as the play
progresses, the stage setting should be
pictured. Another happy suggestion
was the reading aloud OF plays, the
different parts taken by different indi-
viduals. And one readily saw the
pathos of the remark that the unfortu-
nate blind have to listen to SO much
perfunctory reading.
