/. The sudden death OF Bishop Shan.
ley at Fargo was startling news to
his thousands Of friends and admirers
thruout the state, and g head Of the
Catholic church 81 North Dakota,
and one Of the most prominent figures
in the public life of the state, for the
past twenty years, his loss is of more
than passing moment. His activities
as loyal friend Of North Dakota,
and his advocacy of her material as
we'll as spiritual welfare will be mis-
sed in all quarters. His death is be-
sides severe blow to the numerous
interests in the state In which he
had charge.
The last time that Bishop Stanley
was seen alive was about midnight
on Thursday. He retired to his pri-
vate apartment and left instructions
not to be disturbed as he was in need
Of rest. He did not appear for lunch
con the next day and members Of the
household became apprehensive. It
was not until five O'Clock In the af-
ternoon; that it was learned that he
was dead. Father Egan and Father
O'Drisooll, failing to get response at
his door, effected an entrance and
found the body lying cold in death
between the bathroom door and the
bed chamber. It is surmised that
the bishop had arisen about noon and
taken Z bath, when the shock came
and the spark Of life 0ickered out.
A medical examination showed that
he had been dead but few hours
1t was the bishops practice to work
late at night, and to not be disturbed
the following morning and to this
practice was due the delay In not
learning OF his demise before. Thurs
day he spent In his Office. where he
worked ) good part Of the time. He
was engaged IN writing and study
until 1850 Thursday night.
The lasting monument to Bishop
Stanley will be the success Of his
efforts in 5upbuilding the church over
which he presided. After his conse.
Grafton IS . bishop ID jamestown,
and at the time Of his entrance into
that work, he showed the spirit Of :
most elicient organizer and upbuild-
er. He fulfilled the predictions made
Of his ability BY Archbishop Ireland
at Jamestown in 1859, in fact, Bishop
shanley's success was noted IN church
circles thruout the country 9 some
thing little less than phenomenal.

Discussed .Mattets Regarding 8
More Beautiful jamestown.
Weeds and Papers.

The regular meeting of the Civic
Improvement League was held in the
council chambers of the city hall
Monday afternoon. A resolution was
adopted by the League to cooperate
with the city council in having the
weeds on several Of the streets cut,
an appropriation of .sl5 being made
to the council to assist in the work.
The League has decided to offer
two prizes to be given to any boy or
girl, who has not entered high
school, for the best essay entitled IA
More Beautiful jamestown. A cash
prize of IS will be made to the first
best and cash prize of % to the Sec
ond best. It is hoped great many
Of the children will take an interest
in this contest, giving suggestions
that will aid the League in making
"a More Beautiful Jamestown" as
is their intent, and also to arouse
interest among the younger people.
Some members spoke of the dirt
and refuse that seems to accumulate
on Fifth avenue, and it is believed
that the people Of the city are not
doing all they might in helping to
keep the city clean and that they are
not making very good use Of. the
waste paper boxes that have been
placed on the streets.
The appointment Of humane
agent for the care of dumb animals
was also discussed.

To Change Court Quarters.

Two committees went before the Board of Revenue this afternoon in regard to the proposed change in the quarters of the county officials in Bes- semer. There is agitation to have the present offices changed to the McAdory building. There has been quite a con- test over tn matter and much has been said both for and against the change. The present officials are quite satisfied with the present offices, provided some repairs be made, which the owners of Rebie hall have promised to do. The two committees were headed by B. l.. Lewis and E. L. Huey. The board failed to arrive at decision and will probably send a committee to look over the ground a second time.

 of Bessemer.

Bessemer, August 11.-(Special )-When the news of the passage of the new eoun- ty amendment through the house this morning reached the city Bessemer citi- zens went wild. The greatest exultation was expressed and the name of Dr. Rags dale was on every tongue. There was a large celebration of the event tonight on Second avenue by citizens who were not in Montgomery. The Marvel City band was secured to furnish music and some fire works were secured, which exploded with cheering. The fire bell in the city hall was rung repeatedly and scared some of the inhabitants who thought that the largest fire in the history of Bessemer was in progress.
 The impromptu mass meeting was held on the corner of Second avenue and Nineteenth street. Short talks were made by men who have been prominent In the fight and state that they will be more in evidence than before when the bill comes before the senate. The vote was surprise to some, as the Bessemer lobby stated that they had 90 pledged votes. A large delegation will leave Bessemer in the morning for Montgomery, where they will assist the men engaged at present there. The fight promises to be bitter one. as men from this district say: We've got 'em going and Intend to win out for good and all." Citizens say that they will never let up in the fight and are much delighted at the likeness of the Birmingham people. They say that they expected 8 much harder fight and were surprised at the lstlessness of the Bir- mingham lobbyists. More difficulty is looked for getting the bill through the senate, but leaders in the fight feel con- fident of the final result.
 great many tributes are being paid Dr. Ragsdale for his untiring efforts in the face of illness and realize that the good impression created at the legisla- ture was due largely to him
