 Rome, Feb. 1o-Plague conditions in Manchuria are more terrible than any of the published reports have yet ln- dicated, according to information which the Vatican received, today, from it's Manchurian vicar.
 Large infected districts have been completely abandoned to their fate, the vicar says. There are sections where there is scarcely house that is not a chamber of death. In scores of cases whole families have been wiped out. Even the burning of great piles of bodies have not sufficed to dispose of the corpses and in places they lie in the streets. grave source of infection

DOUBLE CROSSED BY
 PARTNER IN CRIME
Especial from United Press,

Chicago. Feb. 10-"Double crossed" by his partner. Charles Willard the "stick up' man who entered Rector's exclusive restaurant last Sunday morning and at the point of revolvers gathered in $3.200. was himself ''stuck up't and "frisked'' one minute later and robbed of every cent of the loot.
 This unique turn taken in the dar- ing robbery case has resulted in the arrest of William Loftus. saloon keeper. who furnished the revolvers which Willard used
 Willard. Roy Saisline and Harry Anderson have confessed that they engineered the ''hold up". but the po- lice could find none of the money. Willard swore that the instant he left the restaurant. after robbing it. he was seized by three men who hustled him across the street into an alley way and took all the loot from him. This story is borne out by a passing policeman who thought three plain- clothes men were making an arrest.
 The police charge that Loftus hired the three professional stick up'' men to wait for Willard and rob him as soon as he had robbed the restaurant.

The North Dakota Special is not
for the men alone. The ladies' are to
be one Of the most notable features.
Every shriner who has wife, sister 81
motheru and is going to Rochester next
summer should plan to take her with
him. The trip on the train will make
up for many pleasures she has never
had and more than she might have
coming. The messengers on this spec
ial train will travel in the style only
known to North Dakota "million-
aires' and who better deserve the ex-
IRENE pleasure than their better halves
One purpose Of the special is to pre-
sent North Dakota to the entire United
States in its true light and as this
would be impossible without goodly
representation Of its ladies every shrin.
er will have to consider it his duty to
bring with him at least one. :;
Arrangements for the securing Of the
special and the planning of the route
are already we'll under way and definite
announcements will be made in good
season. The train will undoubtedly
start from Grand Forks where Ken
Temple patrol alone will make up a
good share Of the party and there will
be real shriner fun all the way there
and back again.

PRANK FISK WAS APPOINTED
Governor Burke Selects Brother Of
Supreme Court Judge for
Eleventh District.

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 16.-Governor
Burke this morning signed the bill,
creating the eleventh judicial district,
which includes Williams, Mckenzie and
Divide counties and appointed Frank
Fisk Of Willston, who is brother of
Judge G. J. Fisk Of the supreme court,

judge had practically no opposition of
any kind and had the unanimous sup.
port of the bar of the new district.
Judge Fisk has been in the city for
several days and left for home this
afternoon, carrying his commission with
him.
The new judge is 33 years old, un-
married, and gained common school

Take Care of Your Clothes.

To keep clothes in order requires an
expenditure Of time and energy and
patience, but it repays one for the trou-
BILE. When dress is removed, the first
care should be to brush it thoroughly.
The waist should be hung inside out in
a window in order to remove all traces
of perspiration. Finally it should eth
er be hung in a closet on coat hooks or
folded carefully and laid away in long
drawer. Skirts should never be hung
wrong side out as nothing muses. them
more seriously: For elegant dresses,
folding is best, as they do not become
dragged out Of shape as is likely to be
the case when they are hung. If, how
ever, this is not possible, they should
be hung up and then encased in a long
bag Of muslin or calico which excludes
the dust; each one should be hung on a
separate hook-the best are those used
to hang gentlemen coats on; laiels
may be pinned upon them which will
ob"iatc the necessity of taking them
down and examining them every time
they are worn.
Once week, at least a woman
should examine all Of her belongings
which arc in constant use and make the
needed repairs; the half worn binding
on skirt, sleeve that is ripped, or
missing hook or button will detract
from the tidinass and style of cos
tune and impart an air Of neglect and
carelessness to even the most handsome
toilette. Gloves and stockings will last
twice as long if mended with care;
shoes should be Strengthened out when
taken off, wiped off with dry cloth,

NORTH DAKOTA IMPERIAL
SHRINE SPECIAL TRAIN

The "North Dakota Special" the
train that will lcarry the North Dakota
Shriners to the imperial shrine meeting
at Rochester, N. Y, next June has al
ready become quite famous and its ar
rival in teh eastern city will at that
time be awaited by the shriners Of ev-
cry state in the union. The news of
it's coming will be heralded from ocean
to ocean and there will not be one pill
grim who will not be eagerly watching
from the train from out the golden
west. For on this splendid train will
not only be a majority of the, 1850
skrincrs living in North Dakota, but
the man who will be elected to the
highest office in the imperial shrine, j,
Frank Treat, Of Fargo.
In the interests OF the candidacy of
this noted shriner, who is now deputy
potentate, the "North Dakota Special
will be sent to Rochester under the aus
pices of the states two shrine temples
KEN, of Grand Forks, and FL Zagel
of Fargo. It will be the finest train
that ever carried western delegation
into the eastern city and it will have
every mark of the rich and prosperous
state which it representa-. It's pass
engers will be the state 3 most dis
tinguished and most prominent citi
zens, its most successful business men
its educators and highest officials. fol
they are the men who make up North
Dakota's shrine. It's main object will
be to>make every city and state enroute
"take off it's hat'' as the saying goes
to North Dakota, to let everybody
know that J. Frank Treat of North Da
kota will be the next imperial potentatt
and that North Dakota gets to the tol
in everything that it undertakes just
as rapidly as its shriner has gotten tt
the top. 1t will be the greatest adver
tisement the state has ever had and il
will be the duty of every shriner il
the country to wear his boosters.

W0lEHN WANT 70 81 - 81,
@ s'sts 5sss'sss 1uY PQRTRArTS
Federated Clubs wish 70 Preserve
Types Of Historical Indians.

Fargo, N. D., Feb. 1s.-Mrs. N. q.
Young returned from Bismarck last ev.
ening where she has been in an effort
tossecure an appropriation for the pur.
cahse Of portraits of afmous Indians
painted by Miss Margaret E. lIeiser.
These are pronounced by connoisseurs
sto be Of exceptional merit. They have
won the communication Of. artists every
where they have beenshown.
The ladies Of, the Women's Federated
clubs, Of which organization Mrs.
Young is president, are anxious that
the state purchase the portrait They
raised fund to, erect a statue to
Sakakawea, the heroic Indian woman
who led the Lewis &; Clarke expedition.
A former legislature appropriated ST.
500 for the pedistl of this statue. Only
$500 of this was spent. The portraits
can be secured for $500, and the club
women want an appropriation of that
amount
As the club women returned to the
state 5000 of the other appropriation
it does not seem that they are asking
anything unreasonable. The portraits
are of great merit and of historical In
dams. The ywould be interesting and
attractive additions to the state gal
lery.
Commenting on the object Of Mrs.
Young's visit to Bismarck, the Trib
une of Thursday said:
Mrs. N. G. Young Of Fargo, presi.
dent of the North Dakota Federation
of Women 8 clubs is spending a few
days at the state capitol. Mrs. Young
is here in the interests Of the club wo
men who are DESTROYS Of purchasing
the three Indian portraits which were
painted by Miss Margaretha f. Heiser
and placing them in the capitol build
ing. These portraits are Of Mink Wo
man, Bear IS Necklace, and Bad Rrave
al lof them historic North Dakota In
dams.
Vutll tuC 1cNcIdIlOu raised Inc LuIC
for the Sakakawea statue which was
unveiled last October on tho capito
grounds, the state legislature had APP
prcpriatod $500 for the purchase of 6
massive stone PEDESTAL. The women cx
pended, however, less than 5000 of thi.
amount. The three portraits painted
by Miss Heiser may be procured 'fol
$500, and the ladies are urging the
passage of measure by the Legislature
appropriating this amount from the ',al
ance Of the appropriation made two
years ago for the purchas eof pedis
tai for the Sakakawea statue.
There is considerable sentiment pre-
vailing throughout the state, not onl,
among the club women, but among III
who are interested in historical affairs
over these three paintings. The por
trait Of Mink Woman served as a mode
for the sculptor, Mr.. Crunelle, for til,
Sakakawea statue. A large number q
people think that the tsate could Ii
nothing better than purchase these por
traits and keep them in North Dakot;
