EASTER BAZAAR
Opened Very Auspiclously at Baptist
Church Tuesday Evening.

The Easter Bazaar in the Social
Rooms of the Baptist church opened
very auspiciously last night despite
the disagreeable day. Two hundred
people were present during the even
ing and were pleased with the ladies'
fine display of the useful and orna-
mental. The rooms were decorated
with palms, booths and laden tables,
all made the more attractive by spec
ial electric lighting.
The art booth in yellow and white
was presided over by Mrs. e. w.
Bradford and Mrs. H. G.. Roster and
contained elegant kimonas and other
fine needle work as well as art photo
graphs by Miss Grace Flagler whose
pictures won first prize at the Troy
exhibit last autumn.
The baby booth decorated in pure
white, and presided over by Mrs. F.
ID. Burt and Mrs. n. w Cottrell, was
replete with "baby-rompers," bonnets.
dresses and some elegant work Dana S

decorated in green and white and
presided over by the Misses Wal
bridge and Norton. Here was to be
found a medley of articles from a
beautiful hand-embroidered pin-cush-
ion to a picture of the interior of a
cathedral or picture frame in anti
que gold.
The "blue-bird" booth, under the
care of Mrs. E. L. Bates and Mrs. G..
G. Bond, groaned so loudly under its
burden of homemade candy that 1t
attracted large patronage. But why
blue-bird? That's secret that only
those who purchased can understand.

CAST OUT THEIR
aged MOTHER
BROOKLYN WOMAN RlvEN
FROM HOME PASSES
THROUGH MlNoT.
SAID THAT SONS THOUGHT HER
IN THE WAY OF SOCIAL
CAREER.

. Minot Optic: Cast adrift upon the
world by her two sons. lights in
Brooklyn society and possessors OF
large fortunes, because they were
ashamed Of her homely, old-fashioned
ways and of her bent and withered
body, Mrs. Mary Hancock, old and
feeble at the age of II years, passed
through this city last evening on her
long journey to Butte, where her
youngest born, John, has offered her a
humble home and where she will not
be in the way. ..$a
Her two sons living in the eastern
city made fortunes in the markets.
The little cottage vanished for a larg-
er home and that in turn was sold for
a mansion of stone. Balls and dinners
became the accustomed instead of the
extraordinary. And gradually the
aged mother came to learn that she
was in the way, that her presence
cast a shadow upon the gayeties of
the glitternig ballroom, and with
broken heart she went. M%.-
She is going west to John-to
son where a mothers heart will al
ways find a welcome and mothers
head will always be given shelter.
John has not the wealth of his broth
ers. In reality, John is poor as the
world reckons, but he is rich in his
love for his mother and his mothers
love for him. M
And Mrs. Hancock is speeding on
her way to John, smiling through the
tears of today upon the future Of to-
morrow. She knows there will be
room for her in the much smaller
home in Butte.

The legislative assembly has taken
a stand against the bill presented in con-
gress to grant patents to homesteaders
to the arabic surface of the land but
reserving coal rights to the govern
ment. A good many homestead patents
in the state have been held up because
of the fact that the land homesteaded
was coal bearing land or i'll coal bear
ing belt, and the government has de-
clined to grant a title through COM
plete patent to the land. The legisla-
tive assembly has taken the ground that
these homesteaders should receive pat
ents except in cases where the land
was reserved as coal bearing land at the
time of the filing. Failure to receive
a patent is of course hardship to the
homesteader, who has spent time and
money to obtain government quarter
section, and it would seem that the
homesteader who in good faith has
residence and proved up" on claim
should enjoy the full title. If it were
shown that the land was homesteaded
for speculative purposes because of the
probable existence of coal on the land,
the case would assume different
phase. But the good faith homesteader
is entitled to his land and should have
it. The bill to which the legislative as
sembly has declared itself opposed was
introduced, in all probability, to reach
a compromise and give the settler at
least partially complete title. But if
the complete title can be granted I'M
der the land DAVIS of the country, so
much the better for the settler.

BANGS OPPOSED
To REMOVAL BILL
GRAND FORKS LEADING ATT0R-
NEY DOES NOT FAVOR BILL
EMPOWERING GOVERNOR TO
REMOVE OFFICERS.

The states attorneys of the various
counties who have just concluded a
meeting of their association in the
city, are unanimously opposed to the
proposed law giving the governor of
the state the power to arbitrarily re-
move county officer whom he ad-
judged to be guilty of neglect of duty.
Only four of the forty-six states of
the union have such a law. The stat
utes provide method by which Off
Gals who are neglecting their duties
may be brought to account, so say the
attorneys.
The states attorneys claim that the
practice of forty-four states in the
removal OF officers is safer than en-
trusting the power to one man not
judicial officer.
States Attorney Tracey Bangs of
Grand Forks, was very pronounced in
his opinion against such law as the
governor desires passed. He believes
in local self government as Jefferson
taught it, and Is not in favor of rus
sianizing" our local governments. He
prefers to have the power of removal
rest in the courts where it now is,
instead of transferring it to the chief
executive.
|'The governor is lawyer enough"
said he, ITO know that any county
official may be removed who has re-
fused to do his duty if the charges
are pressed in the proper manner"
All the attorneys who heard his re-
marks Endorsed Attorney Bangs opin-
ions.

Senator Strom of Trail county is one
of the old residents of the state and an
old-tine figure in legislative affairs.
Mr.. Strom is a conscientious, hard
working and capable representative of
his district. On committees and on the
floor of the senate he is close observer
of affairs and his counsels are sensible
and clear-headed On matters of state
interest he is liberal and far-seeing and
he displays at all times wide knowl-
edge of the state and its interests gained
from many years of residence and from
close study of his state and its re-
sources and needs. Trail county has a
good representative in Senator Strom
and the state as we'll has the benefit of

wisdom i'll his participation in the de-
alterations of the senate.

ATTORNEYS ADJOURN
cAsSELs Is elected PRESIDENT
TO MEET~AT GRAND FORKS p
d. IN JULY.

The association of states attorneys
met at the council chambers on Fri
day morning at 10 o'clock and spent
the forenoon in discussing various
laws that needed amendment. There
were a number of suggestions from
different states attorneys; all Of them
were for the protection Of the eoun-
ties. One was to amend the law so
that counties could sue the proper
party for the support of the insane.
Another proposition was to repeal the
present tree bounty law and renact
the old law. This was suggested to
prevent the looting of the treasury
which could he done under the pres
ent law. All the suggestions Of change
grew out of the experiences of the
prosecuting officers that they had &C
quired in the performance of their
official duties.
The new association elected officers
for the ensuing year as follows:
President - E. e. CaSsels.
Secretary - H. E. Plymat.
Treasurer - Charles e. Wolfe.
The association changed the con-
stitution so that the time of meeting
should be in January and July, in
stead of January and May. The time
of meeting is to be fixed by the ex-
ecutive committee.
The next place of meeting was fix
ed at Grand Forks. George Thorp,
the retiring president, was elected q
life member of the association. The
melting adjourned after appointing a
committee to present to the legislat-
IRE changes in the laws as agreed on,
as follows: J. B. Wineman, chair
man, Charles E. Wolfe and r. N.
Stevens.
