St. Paul Dispatches Tells of Some Of

st. Paul Dispatch bismarck, the
capital Of North Dakota, is planning

there at the invitation Of the Civic

Bismarck proposes to make the i'm

cheaply, as there Is much of the land
still in natural state that can be pre-
served and rendered permanently
beautiful. that would cost great sums
to improve forty or fifty years from

Mr.. Hoyt is working out a plan by
which the capitol approach and all of
the natural features may be used as
part of the parking scheme. The

REG|MENTAL BAND
made A Big HIT
FAIR SIZED CROWD GATHERED
At COURT GROUNDS TUES.
DAY AFTERNOON.
Excellent Program Rendered and Ap.
pIause Is Acknowledging Ameri-
ca In Ac.obatic Stunts.

There were two bad features about
the concert given Tuesday afternoon
on the court house grounds. by the
l4th U. S. infantry band; one was
the high wind that was blowing at
the time and the other was the an
tics of a bunch OF youngsters who
got between the audience and the
band and carried on an acrobatic per
Torrance which greatly detracted from
the pleasure of those who came out to
hear the music.
However, someone sent in call
for the chief of police and when he
came the disturbance died down and
the crowd settled down to enjoy the
exceedingly fine musical program that
was being rendered by the band.
The band is one of the best that
has ever been heard in the city and if
they can be prevailed upon to again
give an uptown concert steps will
probably be taken to see that they
nor the audience are not disturbed in
the manner they were on Tuesday.

That business in the northwest is
about normal is indicated by the fol-
lowing from the St. Paul Pioneer
Press relative to railroad conditions
of the Hill roads:
The growth of business in the north.
west is reflected in the statements
of earnings made for the months Of
August and September by the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail-
roads. Both roads show decrease
in net operating income, due to the
increased cost of operation, increased
taxes and slump in the passenger
business. Last year during August
and September the Hill roads were
getting the benefit of the big travel
occasioned by the exposition at Sc.
attic. so that the decline this year in
passenger earnings does not indicate
poor passenger business in the north.
west.
Freight traffic shows a satisfactory
condition on both roads. For July
and August the Great Northern made
$S.2SO,170.94 in gross freight earnings.
against $7,33S,336.78 for the similar
months of last year, a gain of $941..

HANNA and GRONNA
ON SPEAKING TRIP
HAVE STARTED ON TOUR WHICH
is TO COVER WESTERN PART
OF STATE

Forks and Was Success-Fate of

of the western part of the state, and
speak at republican meetings. The
first meeting Of this kind was held
at Grand Forks this week, and was
addressed by Congressman GrOnna,
nominee for the senate. In his
speech he took up at length the &C.
ton of the governor in the appoint
ment following the death Of M. N.
Johnson and used the governors &C.
ton at that time to prove his point
that he would act as democrat al
ways and that the republicans of the
state would see that the majority
rules by electing the republican can
didate.
AS showing the get-together spirit
that now prevails in Grand Forks
county, and the increasing sentiment
for ratifying the nominations made
at the primary election, by electing
the entire ticket. Secretary Devine of
the republican committee, says:
IF the law disturbs a party, it is
certain of being frOWned upon, and to
prove that it is good law, republi-
cans, stalwarts and progressive alike,
should stand by its operation in the
recent primary"
Republicans throughout the state
see the primary election law, the re-
form measure put upon the statute
books, by republicans is, to great
extent, at stake in the election. If
the people are to make the election
Of candidates under the primary law,
every good citizen and fair minded
republican will stand by the major
ity will. or the law should be re-
pealed. This seems to be reas.

PLATINIZED GLASS.

II Produces an Odd and . Tricky Kind
Of Mirror.
Platinized glass consists Of piece of
glass coated with an exceedingly thin
layer of u liquid charged with plati-
mum and then raised to red heat.
The platinum becomes united to the
glass in such a way as to form an odd
kind of mirror.
The glass has not really lost its
transparency. and yet If one places 1t
against Il wall and looks ut it he sees
his image as in an ordinary looking
glass; But when light is allowed to
come through the glass from the other
side. as when it is placed in window.
it appears perfectly transparent. like
ordinary glass.
BY constructing window Of plati-
nized glass one could stand close behind
the panes in an unilluminated room
and behold clearly everything going
on outside. while passersby looking ut
the window would behold only a fine
mirror or set Of mirrors in which their
own figures would be reflected while
the person inside remained invisible.
In France various tricks have been
contrived with the aid Of this glass
In one n person seeing what appears
to be an ordinary mirror approaches 1t
to gaze upon himself. a sudden
change in the mechanism sends light
through the glass from the back. where
upon it instantly becomes transparent.
and the startled spectator finds him
self confronted by some groteS4ue liz
ure that had been hidden behind the
glass = Harpers Weekly.
