A Most Delightful and Advan-
tageous Trip Completed
With the Return Of the
Special" at 1:so This
Morning.
RESOLUTIONS OF THANKS
PASSED UNANIMOUSLY
Everyone in Good Health and Full
Of Anecdotes Of the Trip-Another
Tour is Planned for Next Year.

The Commercial club special reach
ed Grand Forks this morning at 1880,
and ended one of the most delightful
as we'll as the most profitable trips
ever undertaken by the business in
terests of the city. The result cannot
be measured at this time, for the
benefits which will come from the trip
will be like bread cast upon the waters
to be seen many days hence. 1t is
not an idle statement to say that that
impression made upon the people of
the towns visited was all that could
be desired. The party was composed
of men who could meet and mingle
with the strangers of the cities and
make them feel that they had indeed
met friend, and especially that the
friendship Of the people visited was
what was desired by the party. Sober,
digniied. hustling and pleasant were
the prime essentials which made the
party q welcome guest in every town
visited. The commercial spirit was
, largely lacking and this was one of
the things which impressed the people
advantageously. They seemed to real
lie that Grand Forks was out to get
acquainted with the rest of the state
and that the party was making sin
cere effort to meet the rest of the
country on equal grounds.
The enthusiasm of the party never
wavered and there was none of that
tired feeling which so often destroys
the value of such parties. Except for
the most urgent reasons every member
was out at every point and this made
a showing of the number and interest
OF the crowd which was not without
its effects. Nor, did any one become
tired as the trip heightened. In fact
the last stop was more enthusiastic
than the first and 1t is doubtful il
there was any one who was glad when
the end was. reached.
After the last visit on the schedule
was completed at Bartlett, the men,
bers assembled in the dining car which
had been specially arranged for the
occasion and adopted number of
resolutions. among which was the fol-
lowing:
Resolved. That the members of this
excursion party, whose object has been

OWNS THE BLUE LAWS.
Louisville Woman Has Copy of the
 Original Connecticut Statutes.

Louisville, Ky, Nov 12.-Recent announcement in press report to the effect that $5,000 was paid for a copy of the early laws of Connecticut, known as the "blue laws" of Connec- ticut, has brought to light the possi- ble fact that the only other copy In existence Is in Louisville.
 Mrs c. E. Laverty, mother of Dr E. c. Layerty, secretary of the health department, is the owner of the book. It has occupied a place in the library at her home for the last fifty years.
 Many offers have been made for the book" said Dr Laverty, fin amounts ranging from $10 to $200, but, of course, they have been re- fused, as the book Is not for sale. It is an exact copy of the constitution. or form of civil government as adopt ed by the towns of Windsor, Hartford and Wethersfeld, and the code of 1850, as confirmed by the general court of Connecticut, having been taken from the original records"
 The following. taken from the book in the possession of Mrs Laverty, will give one an idea of the peculiarity oi expression and spelling as used in the early history of this country:
 &a Capital Lawes.
 1-If any man after legall convic- tion, shall have or worship any other God but the Lord God. hee shall bee put to death. Deut. IS, 6-17, D. Exodus 22. 20.
 Eff any man or woman bee a witch, that is. hath or consulted with familiar spirritt. they shall bee put to death. Exodus 22. 13.-Levit. 20, 27.-Deut. 16, 10, II.
 3--If any person shall blaspheme the name of God the Father. Some or the Holy Ghost. with direct, ex- press, presumptuous or high-handed blasphemy, or shall curse in the like manner, hee shall bee put to death. Exo. 21, 12, 13, 14.-Numb. 35. 30. 31.
 13-If any child or children above Is years old and of sufficient under standing. shall curse or smite their natural father or mother, hee or they sball bee put to death; unless it can be suflciently testified that the par ents have beene very unchristianly negligent in the education of such children. or so provoke them by ex- treme and cruell correction that they have been forced thereunto to pre- serve themselves from death. maim- ing. Exo. 21. 17.-Levit. 20.-Ex. 21. IS.
 Other laws not carrying capital punishment inflicted rigorous penal ties for trival offenses.

ELECTRIC CARPET SWEEPER. Operated by Means of . Motor At
 tached to the Brush Shaft.

Y tached to the Brush Shaft.
 Among the newer of the now many electrical devices for household use is the electric carpet sweeper.
 In the ordinary hand carpet sweep CT the brush is turned by rubber GOV cred wheels which, when the machine is pushed or pulled about the floor. revolve in contact with the ends of the shaft upon which the cylindrical- ly shaped brush is made; in the cleo tric, carpet sweeper the brush Is made to revolve. to sweep. by means of an electric motor attached to the brush shaft at one end. all the hand power required in operating 1t being that needed for moving and guiding 1t about on the floor.
 Power for the motor is supplied through flexible wire which may be attached to an incandescent electric light fixture. It requires no more power than an electric fan. The power is turned on or on by means of a plug attached to the grip end of the sweeper handle.
 The brush of the electric carpet sweeper turns much more rapidly than that of the hand operated sweeper. The object of the sweeper is economy of time and labor. The electric sweeper can. of course. be used wherever an electric current is available, but its principal use is found In the larger rooms of houses. and in hotels and other buildings wherever the floor spaces are more extensive.
