reported by the committee was
agreed. to blythe caucus held at 9
o'clock Monday night.
The rough places, and there were
very few of them, were s1hoothed
overly the committee, and there was
no friction in reaching an agreement.
Senators Pierce of Ransom county
and Simpson of Stark county,. were
supported by some of the members
of the senate for the craftsmanship
of the Judiciary committee and any
possible feeling was avoided by an
agreement of the committee upon
Sharpe of LaMoure county for the
place. Sharpe ranks both of the 9TH
err members TN time OF service In the
senate and upon the committee and
was entitled to the place by right Of
seniority and his election disposed of
this matter happily. Senator simp-
sen was chosen as president pro tenn
of the senate. Senator LaMoure will
be chairman OF the committee on
appropriations. a position he has held
for number of terms and where his
knowledge of the finances of the state
makes him an especially valuable
member.
The contest for the chaplainship of
the senate was for time spirited
and was finally settled in favor OF
CT w. Harris of Bismarck, over Rev.
O. F. Jones, by vote of to OF
the committee. \ .-. ~ 49, Z

Harness by Time Legis. a.
lature CODyenes -

The state capitol corridors were
alive Monday with members of the
legislature, and visitors in various
capacities, and the building took on
it's usual appearance at the opening
of the legislative session. A number
of new state officers put in an ap-
pearance and filed their bonds and
oaths of Office, beginning upon their
official duties. Governor Burke and
the state Officers will probably take
the formal oath of Office in the pres
ence of the joint session of the legis-
lature Wednesday, when the COVER
nor's message will be delivered.
Attorney General Miller qualified
yesterday afternoon, at the desire OF
the out going attorney general, T. F.
McCue, who had some personal busi-
ness that necessitated his departure
from the city. Mr.. Miller's first off,
cial act was the approval Of the bond
of one of his fellow state officers.
He was busy during the afternoon
getting the run of Office duties. He
has appointed Miss Maud Hazard as
his stenographer.
Secretary of State Blaisdell also
took the oath of Office in the course
of the day. He will retain the same
office force as during the past official
term. In the state treasurer's office
the work of transferring the funds
and securities Of the state was being
carried on during the. day. State
Treasurer Bickford has filed $780,
600 fidelity bond, as required by the
law. It is understood that the pres
ent office force will he retained. y.
The railroad commissioners, Messrs.
Stutsman, Anderson and Mann, held
a meeting in the afternoon, and after
informally discussing the matters be-
fore them, filed their oaths and bonds
and qualified. The retiring: secretary
turned the records and files aof the
board over to the new commission,
and they will probably begin today!
upon their work. .. "a. |:S.I. =
- The state canvassing board received
the returns of the special election
held in the Emmons-Kidder county
district and issued q certificate OF
election to w. p. futile, who had the
majority at the special election" His
name has also been certified to the
chief clerk as one of the members
of the house from the Twenty-sixth
district. This leaves contest on file
in the office OF the secretary between
John Storey as against CA. Heroic,
involving the result Of the first elec-
ton held in November. 4 This Will
probably be reported to the house for
such action as that body may choose
to take in the entire matter.
The Office OF the governor was the
center of attraction for a number OF
senators and representatives, and a

Eleventh Legislative. Session
viii Begin on Schedule
Time...1he Program I: I.

The formal opening OF the Eleventh
legislative assembly will take place In
the house and senate chambers at the
capitol at noon today. It is likely
that nothing will be done on the first
day except the election of aSspeaker
and officers of the house and the
choice of the various officers of the
senate ~
After the two houses are organic
ed committee will be named to wait
upon the governor and inform him
that the two houses are organized
and when an adjournment Is taken It
will probably be until Wednesday,
when the two bodies will meet In
joint session to witness the formal
swearing in of the state officers and
to hear the delivery of the gov
errors message. . " W.
In the house the body will be called
to order. by P. D. Norton, chief clerk
OF the house two years ago, and the
election of the speaker, chosen in
caucus will follow. In the senate
Lieutenant Governor Lewis will call
the body to order and take the oath
of office, after which the roll call of
the hold-over senators and the mem
bers elect will be called. The formal
election of the officers chosen in eau
Gus will consume the remainder of
the session. =:

A third attempt to free Harry K.
Thaw from the Matteawan asylum for
the criminal snin aeawss. Sd y
the criminal insane was begun here
today before Justice Tompkins in the
supreme court. Again the court 1s
asked to present Thaw's case to a
Jury to determine whether or not
the prisoner is insane. Twice before
attempts have been made to bring
Thaw before a jury but Justice Nor
chauser and Judge Mills refused to
order such action. 49,"
AS in the previous cases, the pre-
liminary move in the latter was sue
cessful, Justice Tompkins, on motion
of counsel for Mrs. VIM. Thaw, Har-
ry X. Taaw's mother, granting writ
of habeas corpus compelling the
asylum authorities to produce Thaw
before that justice at New York Sat-
urday next. Mrs. Thaw in the NOV
ing papers claimed that her son was
not legally committed to the asylum,
that he is not a criminal, having been
acquitted by a jury and that HE is
now sane.

FIRE At THE INDIAN SCHOOL.
About O'Clock Monday night the
fire alarm, was sounded and every
one was startled. It was such cold
and windy night that it would have
been difficult to subdue a fire should
one get started. The alarm was
from the Indian school,. Before the
hose company started H. L Reade
made inquiries as to whether there
was fire hydrant and how near the
building, "A and he learned that the
fire was out. The blaze started in the

NO cnINAmEN CONVERTED.

Referring to the recent murder
of Elsie Siegel in New York by a
Cinnamon she was trying to con
vert a writer in one of the current
magazines says that one is
tempted to ask whether the busi-
ness OF missions among the Chi
nese is worth while. since the
history of the movement shows
that the Chinaman is more likely
to convert the mission worker to
opium than the mission worker is
to convert the Chinaman to Chris
tianity.
Sir Robert Hart, for many years
in charge of the Chinese customs,
on behalf OF the British Govern
ment, and probably better ac-
quainted with China and the Chi
nese than any other white man,
has made the frank statement
that, no matter what missionaries
may believe and say, not one
Chinaman has ever been really
converted to Christianity.
He contends that the sole OBJ
iect of attending English-speak-
ing schools is to learn English
and to pick up foreign methods,
and that John Chinaman's pre-
tense of conversion is pretense
and nothing more.
There are more white heathens
in New York than all the China
men missionaries will convert.
here or in China. And such girls
as Elsie Seigel can find better
employment for their energies
among the children of the Ameri-
can poor than among the almond
eyed devils of the Chinese hells,
infested by the very worst of the
underworld.-Delta Tribune.

UPToN SINcLAIR's work, it
seem needs doing again. Several
inspectors have been discharged
because they objected to putting
their o. X. on some of the meat
products of the great packing
concerns in Chicago. Meats
condemned by them were passed
by officials higher up. Now these
inspectors are talking out in

not sharpen ones appetite. 1t
seems strange that the American
people will permit the meat trust
to feed them offal. but as long as
honest inspectors are fired for
their honesty that state of affairs

DEAR srR:-we arrived at Stafford Springs Friday

fairly pleasant trip considering the intense heat and
the length of the trip. Marshal Pass was unusually
pretty. 1t was very green and every ravine was
running with the clear, sparkling snow water and
great patches OF snow were above and below us and
many streams feeding the river made the Black
canon beautiful. The river was a seethng, foaming
troubled mountain OF water. From Gunnison on the
stream was lined with fishermen. Sixteen got off our
train at place, six were from Hotchkiss Mr. r. o.

coming through Black canon. Three men had stopped
along the and gotten several bottles OF beer and
going through the canon one OF them
threw empty bottle against the cliff, piece OF
glass rebounded and hit man sitting in the open
window, cutting the back OF his head very badly.
He undoubtedly thought he was shot for he got his
pistol out. The women began screaming and running
to both ends of the car and it quite lively for
a while. When the train arrived at Salida he was
taken to the r. r. hospital and the wound
