The friend in question played eXquisitely, and lay
in bed listening eagerly to the strains Presently she
began a waltz, and the rhythm and swing of the music
made my feet literally tingle to dance. | got up
presently and began to execute pas sslI round the

interrupted by the nurse packing me of to bed.

Essentials of the Art

a BSoLUTE freedom of motion is one Of the essen
L tIa's of the dancers art; the least stiffness
would spoil the whole effect of her movements, and
for this reason she has to be very careful to
do anything that might cramp her limbs She can
not play golf; for swinging the clubs would
destroy the perfect control It is necessary for
to have over her arms. Very few people except
dancers understand this. | dare not even play
the piano for any length of time, for fear | should

NOT To Mislead.

In last weeks Globe appeared an
article in which we are charged with
trying to mislead on the tax agita-
ton. We deny this charge and as
sure the people of the county that
we are endeavoring to be fair and if
any great irregularity appears we
will admit it. We contend that no
courageous and wholesale disregard
of valuations" has been shown by the
Globe aside from the mere assertion
which proves nothing.
We desire to state that we have
examined the report of the tax COM
missioners and we will show it to
the Globe editor or anyone else and
you can see that we are not bluffing.
The editor of the Globe says he
did not know there was ANYTHING
going wrong at the meeting of the
equalization board last June. We
thought everyone knew when the as
SCISSOR came around and that we
could surely remember what we
swore our things were worth, but he
forgot all about it until someone
made kick at taxpaying time.
1t is the duty and privilege of ev-
cry citizen to go to the county clerk
and ascertain what you have been
assessed and if you have any kick
make it.

The state senate has 40 members
and I27 employees or 8 and seven
fortieths employees for each senator
think of it, the employees number
more than 3 times the membership
of the senate. Very rotten for the
''square dealers" indeed and they
refuse to concur with the house and
let the ilst be itemiZed in the ap-
preparation bill. What would you
think of your merchant if he should
refuse to render you an i:emized
statement of your account? We all
know that this is a rotton deal and
we wonder if our Senator Price has
raised his voice against it..

SEATS REPUBLICAN MEMBER
Decides one Contest and will
Act on another soon.
McNair Introduces a Bill by
Request that will inter-
est Meade County

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 1o--The leg
islative deadlock over theappropria-
ton bill to pay legislators and en-
ployes was broken just before ad-
iournment today. The house sur
rendered and passed the senate bill.
The quarrel had been over whether
the numbes of employees should be
shown in the bill. The house IN
sisted on this provision. The SEN
ate, which has about Ia5 employees
to look after the needs of its forty
members, opposed the enumerating
of the employees and stood for max
ing the appropriations in lump
sum. After a deadlock of more than
week the house yielded.
The Finley Crosby contest from
Cheyenne county has just been de
cided and the action of the House
deprives Josiah Crosby, the Inde-
pendent who has been holding down
chair In tn House since the be-
ginning of the session, of his seat.
This action also seats J.. l.. Finley,
the republican candidate fro.n Chey-
enne county, the hath district.
i'm McNalr, representative from
the Meade Seward district, has in
troduced in the House a bill giving
the boards of county commissioners
authority to drill artesian wells.
Since Meade county is said to be the
only county in the state in which
artesian water is found and it is
gathered that the bill is intended to
apply to Mr.. McNalr's county alone.
A late dispatch says that the
Broiler-Stout contest from the 125th
district was decided in favor of J. ).
Stout the Democratic member who
has held the teat since the com
mencement of the session.
An exchange talks like this to an
angry subscriber: "After you get
angry and stop your paper, just poke
your finger into water, pull il out
and look at the hole, and then you
will see how sadly you are missed.
A man who thinks paper cannot
thrive without his support ought to
60 off and stay awhile. When he
comes back half his friends will not
know that he has been gone and the
other half will not care, while the
world at large kept no account of
his movements. You will find thing
you cannot endorse in every paper.
The 'sBook of Books" is often very
plain and hits some hard raps, but
if you were to get mad and burn
your bible the hundreds of presses
would go on printing it. So when
you stop your paper and call the ed
itor names the paper will be publish
ed and what is more, you read it on
the sly"

III We took occasion a few days ago
to reproduce a special dispatch
from Vleva, stating the establish
:,ment there of a factory for the max
ing of patent fly traps, the like of
which has never been seen before.
One of: the traps, $50 the veracious
correspondent stated, was tested in
"a butcher shop and eighteen quarts
of flies weree captured in a compar-
atively short space of time. The
ownership of the butcher shop is
left in darkness, as doubtless the
owner Of a shop in which eighteen
quarts of flies could be caught in a
few minutes would not care to have
his brpiness thus advertised, lest the
state pure food department might
get after him. The quantity of flies
up in that section of the country
must be numerous, and we take it
that about the only place where the
flies are not roosting overtime is on
the person of the Industrious special
correspondent who invented the pat
ent fly trap.

his connection with the department
in the fall to enter upon the pra
tice of law lin NewyYork city. u

Some figures from the assessors
returns in Adams. county show the
extent to which that section of che
state has settled within the past two
or three years. Particularly inter-
esting and satisfactory is it to read
of the considerable number of farm
ers who have their whole quarter
sections under cultivation. A great
number have more than one quarter,
and one farmer has as much as 700
acres in crop. In the settlement OF
a new country it is difficult for the
homesteader to get his entire quar-
ter broken and ready for crop within
a short period. Some of them must
rely upon steam breaking outfits or
plow contractors to do their break
ing and in a territory as big as that
recently opened up in the south
western part of the state it takes
some time to "get around" Enough
is evident from the assessors re-
ports to indicate that there will be
a considerable yield of grain in
Adams county this fall and liberal
influx of cash.

Law enforcement LEAGUE
Hands Out Warning to Lawbreakers
at Wilton Card Says League is
Simply to Assist Officers in Full
filling Their Duties Under the
Constitution of the State.

The Law Enforcement League has
been getting busy at Wilton and in a
recent issue of the News publishes
the following card:
The Law Enforcement league has
come into prominence of late in Will
ton on account of certain actions
having been taken with the inten-
lions of having the laws of the state
enforced. In explanation, let it be
said that the league was not orga-
nized to enforce temperance, but to
assist the legal officers to enforce
and maintain the provisions of law.
This will injure no legitimate bust
ness, but, on the other hand, will be
an effective aid to same. Anyone
violating the provisions Of the pro-
hibition law cannot be excused any
more than one violating the laws pro-
tecting property. Wilton has had
the reputation of being wide open
town, but believing that this has
been taken advantage of too freely
by booze vendors and gamblers, the
enforcement league have taken a
step toward the elimination of these
factors, with the sole object of rails
ing the standard of citizenship in our
city and Of winning a reputation for
our city that we may all be proud
Of, and for. which it asks the sup
port of every citizen who has the
best interests of the city at heart.

returns SHOW CONDITIONS
Adams County Homesteaders Have
Been Making Good During the
Past Year-One Farmer Has Sew
en- Hundred and Fifty Acres I'm
der Cultivation.

Hettinger, Adams County, July 6.
IA review of the assessment books
recently returned to County Auditor
Kelley show in plain, unmistakable
figures just what the homesteaders
have been doing the past two sea-
sons. These statistics, chcured by
the assessors, were taken several
weeks ago and considerable land has
since then been put under cultiva-
ton. The figures taken at that time
however are interesting. For in
kstance, we find that there are over
|eighty farmers in Adams county who
have over one hundred acres under
cultivation, quite a number of them
having one hundred and fifty acres
and some who have two to three
hundred acres. A. A. Jackson, Of
Cedar township. leads with seven
hundred and fifty acres under Gull
|t1vation. !
In looking over the statistics gath.
cred by the assessors we also learn
that there are eighty farmers who
lat the time of taking these fgure4
had between. seventy-five and a hum
|dred acres under cultivation and that
there were one hundred and seventy
one who had from fifty Ito seventy
five acres under cultivation, Be-
sides this the statistics show q still
greater number. Of twenty, thirty
and forty acre tracts. F.''.@ 2.@G Il

DETAILS OF The Drowning
Young Man Made Brave Attempt to
Rescue His Companion and Lost
His Life in the EffOrt-Young
Lady Very Popular.

Fargo, July 6.-Particulars of the
drowning of Miss Frances Doerner
|stenographer for Wheelock & Whee-
lock, have been received here.
Saturday aftrnoon MAss Doerner
and Mr.. GUS Peterson went out on
Clear lake fishing. 1t seems that
they had no more than gotten out
in the lake in their boat when the
seat in the stern of the boat, on
which the young woman was sitting,
collapsed and she wag thrown into
the water. Mr.. Peterson Immediate
~ jumped in after her and both
were drowned. The struggle for life
which the two must have had will
probably never be known. The water
is unusually deep at that place and it
was only after many hours work
on the part of numerous searchers
that the bodies were recovered. They
were lying close together in fifty
feet of water.
Miss Doerner was 26 years of age
and was young woman of excep-
tional business ability with beauti-
full character that won her friends
Jail over the city. She was member
of st. Mary's Catholic cathedral of
this city and was an earnest chris
tian. Both her parents are living
at Clear Lake, which is twelve miles
south from St. Cloud. She had eleven
brothers and sisters.

MORE TEAMS near STANTON
Dirt is Flying Along the New Ex-
tension-Many Conjectures As to
Where Roads will Finally be
Built in that Vicinity.

Stanton, July Con Sunday the
grading crew stationed here was re-
inforced by about twenty-four teams
making a total of about sixty-four
teams now throwing dirt within two
miles of Stanton. They are work.
ing every possible minute and urg-
ing their men and teams as fast
as possible, going to work at five
o'clock in the morning. There will
be. thirty foot cut in the hills
south Of town and about an eighteen
foot fill across the 10y bottom. The
grade will go as far north as the
telephone line about one-half mile
north of the. courthouse. It is pos
sible that the road will be built
from here up the Knife river to shut
off the approach of the Milwaukee
which is surveying a line from Mo-
bridge up through Flasher and AL
mont into the Knife river valley.
If they build up the Knife it would
quite likely be branch line and
Stanton would consequently become
q railroad town of considerable i'm
portance. ~

DETAILS OF STREtTER RAID
Determined Effort to Raid Streeter
and Meuina of the Illegal Liquor
Traffic-Number of Arrests Made
and Many Buildings Closed by
lnjunctiOhal Order.

Jamestown, N. D., July CAS- a
result of a carefully planned raid on
the blind pigs of Streeter and Me-
dina, by States Attorney Thorp and
the sheriff, those two villages are as
dry as a speech at an irrigation
congress.
Over two hundred cases and kegs
of beer and gallons of all kinds of
drinkables were taken possession of
by the sheriff, and a carload of beer
consigned to Streeter piggers for the
glorious fourth was confiscated.
Five wagon loads of bar room para
phernalia and liquors were sent to
Jamestown tbs morning, and a de-
atruction bee will be held in the
near future.
The sheriff and his deputies ap-
peared in Medina and Streeter at
the same time, about ten o'clock
mingled freely with the multitudes
at the various refreshment pagodas.
They took the names of hangers on
and drinkers at the bar and then
quietly announced that the place was
pinched. So sudden had been this
upheaval, so unexpected and spon-
taneous that it seemed uncanny, out
of quiet and seeming peace, a joy
filled, beverage tuned radiance, gen
tie and slumbroup had leapt wild
wicked revolution. There had been
no checking it, it had been born
with the swiftness of lightning, it
had worked with the deliberate
meance of death, it was anarchy
so thought the proprietors and ha-
bitues. -:
Five buildings in Streeter and one
in Medina are closed up by an in
functional order, and the court has
ordered that they remain closed for
a definite length of time. Wardell,
Doran, Wolff, Nash, "Pud" Smith,
Reanschler and Absalom Darrow
were brought to Jamestown In autos
and lodged in the county JAIL. Over
forty witnesses have been subpoen-
ed and it is the purpose to entirely
clean out the illegitimate sale of IL
Quor in this section of the county.
In the raid on the Jack Tracy
place in Medina the lights were sud
denly extinguished and Tracy made
good his escape, but the states at
torney has sent out telephone and
Telegraph cal3d in every diraetton
and it is believed that the man will
be apprehended within very Short
time. Barkeepers in his place of
business however were arrested.
