AN UNPOPULAR MEASURE.

From the best information obtain
able at this time The Evening Times is
forced to the conclusion that in in
Producing and urging the passage in
the senate of the measure for the di-
vision of the Minot land district, with
out having first consulted the con-
venience and wishes of the major por-
tion of the residents of that district.
as is alleged by the interested parties,
Senator Hansbrough has committed a
grave error and one which, should the
bill become law as now appears
likely, must entail much needless ex-
pense and hardships upon the pres
ent and future settlers in that Sec
don.
The citizens Of Minot and Ward
county generally are justly indignant
ut the course which Senator Hans
brough has seen fit to pursue in the
premises, and public mass meetings,
largely attended, have been held for
the purpose of vehemently protesting
against the proposed outrage
At these meetings 1t has been point
ed out that to cut off some twenty
four townships from Ward county and
place them in the proposed new dis
trict with headquarters at Willistoa,
would result in compelling the settlers
On lands along the 500 line north of
Ninot to travel nearly two hundred
miles unnecessarily in order to tran
sact business in connection with their
lands.
Although the bill In question has al
ready passed the senate it is very
much to be hoped that the indignant
protests of the residents of that Sec
ZION will have the effect of defeating
the passage of this injurious and un-
called for measure when It comes up
fbr consideration in the house

What Is q Miracle?

The lawyer asked the witness if the
incident previously alluded to wasn't
miracle, and the witness said he
didn't know what miracle was.
"Oh, comet" said the attorney. "Sup-
posing you were looking out of win
dow in the top story of the Alaska
building and should fall out and not be
injured. What would you call that?"
IAN accident" was the stolid reply.
Eyes, yes; but what else would you
call it? Well, suppose that you were
doing the same thing the next
day; suppose you looked out of the
highest window in the building and
fell out, and again should find your
self not injured; now what would you
call that?"
IA coincidence" said the witness.
"Oh. come. now" the lawyer began
again. II want you to understand
what a miracle is. and I'm sure you
do. Now, just suppose that on the
third day you were looking out of the
highest window in that skyscraper and
fell out. and struck your head on the
pavement Is stories below and were
not in the least injured. Come, now,
what would you call it,"

equal to that of NJ. Faucon.

n. Faucon said that he had come to
him with valid shares In a well-krown
rallroad enterprise in America--a con-
cern known to the banker. His ere
dentials were unquestionable, his
shares were correct and approved. be-
ing attested by the proper and legiti-
mate conditions.
NJ. Faucon had purchased these
shares at a discount. He distinctly re-
called paying over the money and re-
ceiving the shares. After that, he could
remember nothing for many hours. and
when his secretary came in. he seemed
to have been asleep.
The man, who gave his name as
Langdon, was gone. He did not re-
member when he had departed or that
he had seen him depart. He had
searched his desk, his files. and his
private vault, but no trace OF the
shares could be found. He wired his
American correspondent, but after in.
vestigation a reply was received stat
ing that no such n man as I-angdon
had held any such shares, and that
the shares referred to belonged to a
MIR. De Tavenier. resident of New Or
leans, and were still in the latter's
possession.

The assassination of Alexander II
had sent u thrill OF terror throughout
the world. and his successor on the
throne lurked In the private chambers
OF the palace at st. Petersburg shiver-
Ing at every salute Of the cannon.
The chief spy OF the Car was sec
reilly closeted In one OF the private
rooms Of the palace with his Majesty.
whose face wore u look Of fright.
'Will your Majesty allow me to
bring Dcneau to the palace?" said the
Chief. looking strangely at the white
face OF the imperial autocrat.

as tho words left his lips.

Dcncau stood silently returning the

q force. n power. u daring. that could
not be mistaken.
Tho chief spy. Martinon. ut last
spoke:
"wili your Majesty allow me TO xay

Tho Car smiled coldly. and Dcncau

strange smile.
.In two days." he said. I'VE shall

At the appointed time the statement
was produced. the plans of the con-
spirators were described. the time of
action was decided upon, the resources
of the conspiracy were also given-but
there was no mention OF names. save
one. Jean valdermere; no designation
of numbers
Hersbburg was brought to the office,
and riridly questioned by the CHIEF.
His face showed great terror. ard his
manner was that of man who spoke
the truth.
"Rut the Names" said Martinoff.
"wbo are the leaders of this conspir.
ncy?"
"That I can't say" he replied. "as
the real names are unknown TO all

member, sir, that this is considered
necessary to preserve the secrecy OF
their work"
