the county treasurer gave warning, are

ings of the state law regarding the
payment Of taxes and when the same
become delinquent, the following rules
are laid down:
All taxes-real and personal-be-

ELECTRIC LINE ALONG THE RIVER
Proposition Of Having Electric Road
Along Red River Has Again Bobbed
Up, This Time From Fargo.

At the meeting of the American So
ciety of Equity at Fargo on Tuesday.
the question of the feasibility of build
ing an electric road northward from
Fargo through Trail county was
brought up and yesterday consulta-
tons were held with officials of the
street car company.
Under the present laws of the state
it would be difficult to promote a line.
of this character through the country
districts, but yesterday resolutions
were drafted which If acted upon by
the legislature will encourage the
building Of such lines in the state.
The question of connecting Grand
Forks and Fargo by an electric line
has been up several times in the last
few years, and while it is thought that
line such as this would be a paying
proposition, nobody has been found
who was DESTROYS of undertaking the
risk. The line would tap very rich
farming district and many of the farm
ers are ready and waiting to help en-
gineer the scheme.

is dihicult and she is practically never
of the stage, and yet Miss Easton was
apparently quite untired at the con-
clusion Of the third act Her love
scene with Plnkerton, in the first act,
was beautiful piece of work; it was
decidedly reminiscent of the love scene
between Faust and Marguerite, and
compares favorably with it. In this
duet the climax of passionate love is
reached and the very depth of woman's
self-renunciation is sounded. Several
times Guonod's music Is recalled, but
fieeting, awakening, never initiative. 1t
lis merely that the motive is the same
Love.
In the second act, we still see the
Butterfly, but with her poor little in
nocent wings, SCARED and manned be-
You'd redemption, although she, her
self, has not awakened to the full
horror of her fate, but Miss Easton
shows very cleverly that happiness is
fast speeding from her life. In this
act we get the Japanese motive clever
ly obtained with drums and strings,
and few minutes later she surprises
us with solo, which could hardly
be mistaken from an English ballad.
At the conclusion of the first part
OF the second act Miss Easton received
half a dozen calls before the curtain.
In the last half, she was the persona
fication of sheer, black, deep despair.
She stood swaying on the stage like
flower broken in a storm. Her death
scene was most artistic portrayal
and as before said, deeply affected her
auditors.
Space forbids more elaborate criti-
cism of this unique performance. Suf-
flee it to say, Miss Easton received
magnificent support from Miss Harriet
Behne as Suzuki and Mr. Francis Mac
lehman as Pinkerton. Both possess
beautiful voices which they use like
true artists. Mr.. Walter H. Rothwell
conducted this fine orchestra with re-
markable precision and power, this
being particularly noticeable in the
second act where Butterfly awaits
Pinkerton's return, the gradual work.
ing up to the climax, being particular
ly fine. The orchestration is intricate
and beautiful. In the opening bars
there is tragedy and one can almost
realize what is coming, in the sombre
light after the scene is first shown,
until finally the curtain rises on full
noontide on the beautiful harbor of
Nagasaki
The costuming and stage settings
all through were very beautiful and
alone worth the price of admission.

GETUP IN NIGHT
FOR BRAIN WORK
Professor Says Undreamed
Wealth of Ideas Exists Be-
tween 2 and 5 A, M.

Paris, Feb. 21.-Professor Hallopeau
of the Academy of Medicine says:
'The true secret of long continued,
valuable brain work is to cut the night
in two. The scholar, the inventor, the
financier, the literary creator should
be asleep every night at 10 o'clock,
to wake up again at, say in the morn
ing. Three hours work from 2 to S,
in the absolute tranquility of the ST.
lent hours, should mean the revealing
of new powers, new possibilities,
wealth of ideas undreamed of under
the prevailing system.
From S to or $3.50 sleep again.
Taking up then the days work the
brain will be still saturated with the
mental fruits of the midnight vigil;
there will be no effort in putting into
practice or carrying further what was
planned or begun those few hours be-
fore.
"The habit may be hard to acquire,
but mechanical means Of waking at
first will induce the predisposition."
Lott has long had the habit of so
working and declares his best
thoughts, his clearest intellectual Wis
ion, his choicest phrases come to him
when he works fresh from sleep, with
all the world still in dreamland about
him.
Professor Hallopeau cites also Ma
poleon and Cavour as brilliantly prov
ing the merits of the system he advo-

PULLMANS IN FIGHT
Would Restrain Enforcement
of Order Reducing Charges
on Sleeping Berths.

Dallas. Texas, Feb. 21.-In the fed
eral court here arguments were pre-
sented in the matter of the temporary
injunction secured by the Pullman
company restraining the enforcement
of the order of the Texas Railroad
commission relative to the reduction
Of rates on Pullman cars. The rail-
road commissions order, which was
to have become effective Feb. /, called
for reduction on sleeping car rates
from 5000 to 81 for upper and $3.50
for lower berths. The Pullman COM
pany, in contesting the order, pleads
that it is not a common carrier and
hence does not come within the
jurisdiction Of the state railroad
commission. The company further
pleads that the commissions Or
der is contrary to the federal con-
stitution, which says that mo state
shall pass any bill or law that shall
impair the obligation to contracts"
that these contracts were in full force
when the commission issued its order,
that GO per cent of the railways of
the country are using Pullman SER
vice and that the charges are univer-
sal.

MARK TWAIN
Has Evening Suit of White, Lined
With Silk.

Mark Twain Samuel L. Clemens)
has had made for him suit of even
ing clothes of white broadcloth, as
immaculate as newly fallen snow.
The buttons are covered with the same
material. When he arrays himself he
undoubtedly will wear with the suit
white enameled leather shoes. The
genial humorist has long been in re-
beQlion against the somber clawham-
mer effects borrowed from the court
of France.
Mr.. Clemens has decided that his
new evening wear shall be supple
mented by a long Spanish cloak which
can be thrown over the shoulders.
Such garments were worn by grand
ees and cavaliers.
This broadcloth Is of a soft finish.
The suit was cut in strict accordance
with the prevailing mode. The coat
Is lined throughout with white silk,
and the lapels are faced with the same
materiaA The collar is of cloth, for
It was thought that white velvet, which
was permissible, would easily become
sodled. The trousers have a white
silk braid down the outside seams.
Mr.. Clemens Is not fond of black
silk hats, and with his new white suit
he will probably wear a gray Fedora.
He has also new light gray over
coat
Mr.. Clemens announced year ago
that he would thenceforth wear white
because it correspondent with the orr
ginal costume mentioned in adams
Diary" After publicly pleading gull
ty to a SEVENTEEN birthday not long
ago he said he considered himself out
enough now to wear about what he
pleased.

superb and the scenery most beautiful.
One could almost scent the cherry

tale OF poor little Cho-cho-san was al
most too tragic for even regular
theatre-goers and many could be seen
furtively wjping away the unbidden
tear.

parents and pupils.
Last Friday evening the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. George Else, of Minot
and formerly of Grand Forks, was
the scene of a very pleasant gather
ing, the occasion being a valentine
party given by Miss Lois Else and
Miss Lucille Trumble.
Upon entering the house each guest
deposited an original valentine in the
postof1ce made of white and gold, &C.
cupying a corner in the diving room.
Hearts were strewn everywhere, but
those seeming most attractive to the
young men were those hung upon the
wall with the names of the young
ladies written upon them. Bows AMI
arrows were then given the young
archers and whichever heart was
struck by the seemingly knowing dart,
designated the partner for supper.
After various games had been in
dulged in tine guests repaired to the
dining room which was very attractive.
Festoons of silver and gold hearts
reached from the chandelier to the
corners of the prettily laid table.
Prizes were given Hope Trumble and
Adolph CARRIER who were lucky to find
a red heart under their plates. A
dainty and delicious luncheon was
served by Mrs. Else, Mrs. Duane
Trumble and Mrs. Fred Trumble as
sisting. After the reading of the val
entines It was voted that Miss Tena
Blorn's was the most novel.
The guests pronounced Miss Lois
and Miss Lucille royal entertainers.
