\. D. WEATHER NOT
SO BAD SAYS
Bostonian Chills Much More
Piercing Than 40 Below
Western Weather.

F. NJ. Boult, representing the Poole
Piano company of Boston, Mass. is in
the city today enjoying all the health
and happiness accrueing from the
mild midsummer weather. Incident
ly Mr.. Bou1t is selling pianos by the
carload. He makes this territory once
year and is now on his annual trip
Mr.. Boult for the past three weeks
has been travelling in the heart of the
cold belt. Last week he experienced
the slight thaw at Eau Claire, Wis.
when the mercury showed but 3s be-
low. He also ran into the 40 below
weather at Superior and again at Win
nipeg and got a light touch of the
North Dakota blasts while enroute to
Winnipeg from Minnesota.
However, the genial piano man eggs
out some information which should
be used as balm by the residents of
this state who imagine all the GOODNESS
of the universe was sprinkled over
North Dakota last week. Mr.. Boult
says the 40 below weather of the west
can't compare in biting qualities or in
piercing propensities with the breezes
which are waited over poor old beam
eating Boston about six months of the
year. why" said he, "the tales of the
awful suffering in 40 below weather
really had me scared, but look at me
now. I've been wearing this Boston
summer coat ever since coming west.
The one and only difference between
the western 40 below weather and the
Boston quality is that while the latter
will not freeze a person it will go
through MIN like so many needles"

WOOD SlEDs TIP OVER
Hard Task to Haul Wood to City Via
Water R0ute-CurlOus COndi.
ton on River.

Wood haulers on the river are be-
ing bothered considerable by the
peculiar condition of the river ice. At
a point about four miles down the
river opposite the Filteau farm. water
one foot deep lies on top of the ice.
This water has either been forced out
of the stream by the sinking of the
ice on account of the heavy load of
snow everything, or is result of the
recent thaw. At any rate the water
partly freezes at night and when the
wood hauler comes along the next day
his dreams of happiness are some
times upset, by one side of the sled
going down through the crust. A tip
generally results and there are cord
wood sticks flying through the air as
thick as ducks and geese when the
shot gun is at home.
Some time ago J. r. Poupore opened
road on the river expecting to util-
ize this thoroughfare until the middle
of April. Unless cold weather returns
to freeze the layer of water and slush,
these thoughts will hardly come up to
expectations.

The Introduction of bill to bring
about the removal of the state fair
to Devils Lake has all the ear-marks
of scheme which, when the real
fight comes, might result in a COM
promise-not at all favorable to
Grand Forks. Some pressure ought
to be brought to bear, and at once
to the end that the Miller bill be killed
in committee before it gains any
momentum. There is no question but
that members from the west, if given
an opportunity, will vote for the meas
ure, together with many from central
districts.

The story comes through English
channels that the new Shah of Persia
made a mistake in putting on his new
crown, getting the front OF it behind
in his attempt. The blunder was real
ly that of the priest who handed the
crown to him. The crown itself is
more serious matter than the way it
is worn. 1t is very heavy-so heavy
that the late Shah, when he was
crowned, had to take it off before the
time came. The present Shah held
out with it by the eXpedient of sup
porting it with both hands, but it is
said that he did not look happy. The
ordinary Persian often has excellent
taste; but when the King of Kings
does something for his own glory he
very often overloes it, because of his
desire to Guido everybody else. The
Shah who had this particular crown
made wished it to be crusher, and it
is.

What Is a Spottcrl
lCopyright M. B. al

A spotter is the meanest. most de-
spicable, lowest human hound On
earth. What does he do? His duty
is to see that conductors on cars
collect and account for the fares. IT
a car is crowded so that a conductor
has to snake his way through the
bunch, followed by the cusses of old
men whose equity, buniony feet have
been trod upon. he finds it stiff
proposition to collect. Well. if by any
chance he should happen to slide by
nickel or two. the spotter is on IN
a minute for he has counted the
passengers. What happens then?
The dirty work is then due. The
beefy, lazy spotter jumps off the car,
goes to the company's office, and with
a smiling, glowing face, cries out,
NO. All is knocking down fares. He
is thief! Fire hint" And No. All
is given the grand bounce on the spot.

Deputy Sheriff o. OVERLY is tele-

eating the parents of Harry Harris
Harris formerly lived at Hinckley,
Mimi, where his father ran a large
hotel. Some time ago, however, a
fire destroyed the property and Mr..
Harris moved away. 1t is reported
that McGregor, Mimi. is his new home
and a telegram has been sent to that
place.
No new light has been shed on the
cause of the death of Harry Harris
except that he passed away at Bantry,
twelve miles north of Towner while
acting as cook on wood chopping
outfit. Last winter he was sick for
some time at Devils Lake with bad
attack of pneumonia and his death
perhaps resulted indirectly from this
sickness.

STORY ON LOCAL TRAVELLER
Louis J. May Telling Good Story on
Prominent Cream Separator Man
Of This Territory.

The following tale is furnished by
Louis ]. May one of the many good
fellows who make North Dakota terri
tory for eastern houses. Mr.. May pro-
fesses to know nothing of the origin
of the story claiming it was told him
by a cream separator man in the Da-
cotah hotel the other night. 1t goes
like this:
While in the Office at Minneapolis
the sales manager was discussing
man whom he had recently sent into
Montana. This man was doing very
little business and was sending in 40
normally large expense accounts.
Handling the new mans last expense
report, the sales manager said: "Just
look at that, did you ever see such
nerve? Nothing but drive, drive, every
day and he never sent in an order that
week. I've half a notion to wire him
to come in but the thing that keeps
me from it is that l am afraid he'd
drive in."

ETERNAL FITNESS Of THINGS
Lakota Rooseveltian Discusses Sorley
and the New Political
Reform Idea.

How is this for truth and eternal
fines from the Inter-Ocean?
"In the eternal fitness of things, it
is not at all remarkable that Repre-
sentative Sorley, who a few years ago
betrayed his republican constituents
by voting for democrat for United
States senator, should be the insur-
gent leader in the house at Bismarck
this winter"
Such republicanism is enough to
make Lincoln, Mckinley and Garfield
turn in their graves. Is this the type
Of progressive reform that the people
of North Dakota want? think not.
Progressive reform is "a tendency,
not to an extreme, but to mean"
Rooseveltism is a type of progress
sive reform that the people need.
Roosevelt fights for republicans and
republicanism everywhere.
Rooseveltism stands for republicans
like Horatius at the bridge; like Leon
idas at Thermopylae; like the six
hundred at Balaclava. 1t stands
everywhere and always for manly
courage and is an honorable republic
can virtue.

ing than a One-sided kiss.

Because hard coal is much better
fuel than soft coal for warships, be-
cause it gives our navy an advantage
over other navies, because the deposits

miral Evans is for having the federal
government Eat once possess itself of

erty by the federal government under
the right of eminent domain. David B.

RECEPTION DECIDEDLY A SUCCESS
Young People of Baptist Church Cele.
brated Second Annual Reception

The annual banquet and reception

were fortunate enough to be present
are still Eliminating over the memoir
les of an evening pleasantly and pro-
fitably spent.
The invited guests were met in the

WOMEN OPPOSING SUFFRAGE.

The New York state association op-
posed to the extension of the suffrage
to women has made its eleventh an
nual report, and a copy is in this office.
Mrs. Lyman Abbott and its first vice.
president is Mrs. Arthur NJ. Dodge, a
former resident of this city, daughter
of the late Governor Jewell. The
names of many other we'll known and
highly respected women are in the list
of officers.
The document reviews the course of
recent legislation as to female suf-
frage. Last year in New York the
senate of that state passed by 26 to
20 measure to allow women to vote
in cities of the third class on ques-
lions of taxation. This, however, was
killed in the house. Another measure
openly for female suffrage died in
committee, nobody pushing it, In pro-
testing against this measure the as
ISOLATION made this among other
points:
To the assertion that suffrage would
improve the condition of women, it
has been pointed out in answer that
the women of America are already the
most privileged in the world. If the
whole woman suffrage movement died
tomorrow, never to revive, the women
Of New York would not by that be
reavement lose single opportunity
of usefulness; single needed right;
single path to education, to occupa-
ton, or true advancement
Oregon has twice in six years turn
ed down the woman suffrage scheme.
With all reports nominally favorable,
only seven out of 23S newspapers op-
posed, and (as allegeO churches, wo-
mans clubs, labor organizations, ETC.,
in it's favor, the people rejected the
proposed amendment by 47,075 to &c.
9O2, Iowa and Ohio have recently re-
jected suffrage measures. In Minne-
apolis, in 1904, there were 1861 wo-
men who voted on a school suestion;
in 1906 only 377 voted. In Chicago one
woman voted for school trustees to
every $50 men. Vermont and Mass
achusetts have emphatically refused
to grant the suffrage of women.
The report says:--
No one now appearing on the scene
for the first time would dream of the
methods and extreme views of the
early suffrage. The conventions held
today are characterized by the dis
cussion of general subjects, and the
calmness with which they are conduct
cd commends the underlying principle
TO the unthinklng, who forget that the
very idea OF woman suffrage is an
tagonistic to the fundamental princi-
pie upon which democratic govern
ment is founded.

somewhat fiercer but the line was
generally kept open.

THE FORD MYSTERY.

The disappearance OF Thos. ]. Ford
of this city a few weeks since adds
another to the number Of persons who,
without apparent cause, and while in
the complete enjoyment of health and
happiness, are suddenly missed from
their accustomed firesides and are
nevermore, or not for many years,
heard of. Several parallels for the
Ford case have been recorded in the
police annals of the northwest but
none so utterly ineXplicable. One OF
three, or possibly four theories must
be accepted in arriving at solution of
the mystery, namely; either ThOs.
Ford was drowned, or he became men
tally unbalanced and while in this con-
dition left the city, or he left his fami-
ly and home purposely, or he suicided
in such manner that his body might
not be recovered for months, or never.
The suicide theory seems improbable,
likewise the theory of purposely alb
senting himself. The belief that he
became dazed and while in this con-
dition wandered away and that some
time he will come to himself and be
discovered is one that his close
friends and the members of his family
are pleased to accept in explaining
his disappearance. The drowning the
DRY, however, is given more general
credence by the reading public who
were unacquainted with the man.
