DISTRICT COURT
AT BISMARCK
NINETY-TWo CASES ARE ON THE
COURT CALENDAR FOR THE
MAY TERM.

Bismarck, N. D., May 15.-The May
term Of the district court for Burleigh
county will convene at the courthouse
Tuesday morning, May 16. There are
ninety-two cases scheduled on the
calendar, 80 Of which are civil and
thirty-two criminal. This is one of the
largest calendars in the Burleigh coun-
ty court for some time.
A venire of sixty jurymen has been
drawn which is one of the largest
panels ever drawn in Burleigh county.
Judge Winchester, however ordered
this number drawn in order that the
work OF the court might be handled
In as expeditions manner as possible.
Among the criminal cases which
are scheduled for trial at this term of
court, probably the most important is
that against former state treasurer, G..
L. Bickford, who is charged with en-
bezzlement. 1t is very probable, how
ever, that this case will be transferred
to another county on a change of
venue.
There are nineteen cases against al
legged blind piggers to come up at this
term. One of these cases Is that
against Jay Russell of Turtle Lake.
which was transferred to this court
from Mclean county on a change of
venue. There are thirty two defend
ants named in the nineteen cases.
Frank Finlayson 10 named as de-
PENDANT in five blind pig cases and in
one contempt of court case.
Other cases which are on the CAL
endar for this term include the case
against Gerald e Neel, former 500
line claim agent, who is charged with
money under false pretenses,
Richard Baker and Wesley Candy, who
are charged with burglary in the Sec
ond degree, and another case against
Frank Howard, Ed. Grove, and Henry
Bondy, charged with burglary in the
second degree. These latter three men
are accused Of robbing boarding car
n Sterling and taking some clothing,
and other articles.
In addition to these cases there are
.wo gambling cases, one contempt of
court case, two assault cases. one
,astardy, one unlawful cohabitation
me perjury, and one escaping from

ment orders for the annual encamp.
ment Of the North Dakota Women,

OFFICES of the department commands
being as follows:
L Inc twenty second annual con-
Yentlon OF the department of North
Dakota, Woman's Relief corps will be
held at Grand Forks June il and 1B.
1911 for the election Of department az :
ncers and for the transaction of all
oener business that may properly come
before 1T. Department headquarters
VIII be at Hotel Northern.
IL The membership win consist of
department officers, past department.
presidents, secretaries and treasurers
corps presidents. past corps presidents
and the regularly. elected debates from
each corps.
III. The convention will be called
TO order at 10 o'clock a. m. All dele
gates are requested to be prompt IN
attendance. Department council viii
meet at 9 o'clock. Place to be an
nounced later.
" Credential cards have been sent
70 all corps presidents who win see
That they are properly executed and
given to the dicerent representatives
These cards must be presented to the
credential committee at o'clock if
possible. Each corps should have at
least one representative at this con
Yention, and we feel that 1t would be
money well invested, IL necessary to
pay part or all of the expense of this
delegate. In reviewing the history of
our department, 1t Is very evident that
one of the first steps towards the
downfall of many corps has been the
neglect to meet with the others. and
each corps, no matter how weak or
small, is necessary for the full useful
ness OF the department, while it is self
evident that the weaker and smaller
the corps the more 1T needs the
strength which 1t can have only by
union with the others.
Credential Committee: Kate VAL
landigham, Valley City; Amelia Gear
ey Fargo; Sue r. Caswel1, Grand
Forks.
V, Other appointments will be an
nounced at the convention. All corps
presidents are requested to notify the

n MISSING LeaI.
THAT ordinary care which Is taken
sy the Japanese in their very exact
flower arrangements" is illustrated
by an Incident related by Frederic S.
Isham, the author. He was present
at Il. demonstration in Kyoto Of the
art Of placing flowers. leaves and
branches together in an artistic man
ner. at one point little maid ap-
pargntly offended the master deeply.
He spoke to her and ended by order
ing her to retire She did so, prob
ably the most broken hearted girl in
kyoto, and THE master proceeded to
alter her work The American, who
had seen nothing wrong, ventured to
ask what was the matter. whereupon
he was informed that she had placed
twelve leaves in q certain comblna-
ton instead Of thirteen. Twelve, it
seems, was the right number 200
years ago, but thought, study. mcdita-
ton and prayer had led to the diScoy-
cry that not twelve, but thirteen, was
the correct number for the artistic
effect Of that particular arrangement.
This may seem trifng alteration,
but it suggests Michelanselo's retort.
in which he pointed out the relation
between etrifes and perfection.
