kirkland, Wash, Jan. 1s.-while
many women have served from time
to time in the equal suffrage states, 1t
remained for Washington, the latest
state to give the ballot to women, to
establish the precedent Of empanelling
a jury composed of women only.
Widespread interest has been shown in
this women's jury, and numerous re-
quests for interviews in regard to it
have been received by the Judge The
English newspapers have given a
great deal Of space to it, and The Lon
don Times has asked for a picture of
the Judge, the jury, and all those con-
nected with the proceedings.
The case tried was a suit for dam
ages brought by the owner Of run
away team against a contracting firm
whose men set off a blast which
| frightened the horses until they be-
came unmanageable. To an outsider
the case might not appear to be of
much Importance, but it was said to
be one OF the hardest legal battles
seen in the superior court room for
many months; that every inch was
closely contested and advantage was
taken by the opposing counsel for
every opening. The court room was
crowded, and with but very few ex-
ceptions, every attorney in the city
was present at one time or other dur
ing the session, taking great deal of
interest in the manner in which the
members of the jury followed the tes-
timony, bubbles between attorneys,
and watched the proceedings. A
published report stated that "A large
number of witnesses were examined
both for the plaintiff and defense. The
women on the jury paid strict and
close attention to each witness as he
entered the jury box, and at no time
during the long drawn out case did

Rodkin CHANCES rs Mind.

Now that the mayoralty feature OF
the coming municipal election is clearly
defined, 1t may be expected that dur
ing the remaining time for the filing
of petitions there will be considerable
activity in lining up those who desire
to enter the arena for fight for the
different elective positions, aldermanic
and otherwise.
1t was learned today that Alderman
Bodkin has changed his mind, and now
will be a candidate for reelection as
alderman Of the Third ward. Also, the
friends of Alderman Kiefer of the same
ward are busy getting signatures to a
petition. The formal petition also is
out for l.. A. Huntoon for mayor and
it was the intention to have it filed
before the close of business at the city
Office this evening. The petition for
George A. Simmons as alderman of the
Third ward has already been fled so

that ward; also there are three can
didates in each of the First and Sec
ond wards. 1t is said that the an

men of the Fourth ward will be de-
cidedly interesting when the drop cur

FARMER HARD Ill

Chicago, Jan. 30.-With cattle on the
free list, shipments of Canadian beef,
it is predicted, will be increased to
such an extent as to have an appreci-
able effect on local prices.
The political aspect of the case was
discussed by Charles B. Pierce, asso-
ciate of James A. Patten in the firm Of
Bartlett, Frasier & Co. While he pre-
dicted that American wheat would drop
great deal, he said that the fall in
price would not equal the present duty,
as the Canadian cereal would increase
small amount. This change, however,
he said, would not take place until the
two nations had ratified the treaty.
1.-THE market at present will not feel
the work of the commissioners, no mat
ter what their action, because they
have no power to remove the duty on
the articles they have passed upon"
said Mr.. Pierce 1.-The market will not
be affected until congress and the
Canadian law making body pass fa-
favorably upon this or some other
treaty"
at is plain to me that any political
party that would adopt treaty re-
moving the duty on wheat and Can
adian cereals simply will spell its own
death warrant"
"Any man with common sense can
see that the farmers, who have felt
the high tariff in the past, would not
calmly sit by and see the duty remov-
ed on wheat at a time when it will
help them. In years past it has meant
nothing to them. Now, however, the
prices are up, and protection to the
farmer"
No man or clique of men, say the
brokers who are opposed to corners,
could possibly control the harvest of
the vast Canadian wheat fields.
Just at a time when they might con-
slider themselves master of the situa-
ton wheat could be dumped into the
country and smash the market.

TOMORROW LAST DAY
All Cases Appealed to Supreme Court
by Tomorrow Must Be Heard
in April Term,

All appeals that have been made tc
the North Dakota supreme court be-
fore tomorrow must be gotten ready
for argument and be heard before the
April term of the court. There is nc
escape from the hearings in the CHIEF
court of the state, If the records Of
appeal have already been entered OIL
will be tomorrow.
In all the cases that have been en-
tered the briefs and abstracts must
be in by March 10, which is twenty
five days before the opening of the
next term of the court. The supreme
court will be started this April term
on April g. and it is understood that
a large number of cases will be heard
this year.
Fargo attorneys are now getting
ready for the opening of the court
and because of the law requiring the
kriefs and abstracts in several weeks
before the opening of court, the law
yers are especially hard pressed. Local
attorneys will have a large bunch OF
cases to be argued before the state
court which have been appealed from
the lower courts.

COLD Weather
FOR SIX Weeks
GROUNDING SAW HIS SHADOW
TODAY AND ACCORDING TO OLD
TIME PROPHECY WILL CRAWL
BACK INTO HIS HOLE FOR A
LONG STAY.

The grounding, crawled out of his
hole today. He got one Whit of that
gentle zephyr that was playing around,
saw his shadow over his left shoulder
and presto-he was gone.
Back to the hay for six weeks for
me-" was what he said just before
he ducked.
Grounding day. which, by the way,
always falls upon Feb. 2, is also a
church festival. In fact it is the
only festival in the Roman Catholic
church before Ash Wednesday and is
known as Candlemas day, when all of
the faithful bring their candles to the
churches to be blessed. The origin of
grounding day is accounted for in
the following manner:
Candlemas day was a favorite holi-
day marked by public gaiety and cere-
monies in Europe in the middle ages.
In Europe it still is celebrated much
more than in this comparatively
youthful country by the closing of
banks and offices, but not otherwise
outside Of the reading Of church
services.
In the calendar of the church it is
known as the Feast of Publication
Of the Blessed Virgin, and was insti-
tuted first by Pope Sergus about 6S4.
The popular name of the day is de-
rived from the custom of bringing
candles to the churches and supplying
the churches with candles to be used
on the alters during the year. AS to
the weather superstition that gives to
Candlemas the name grounding
day." that is a worldwide fable. In
Germany it is the badger which
shakes off the torpor of winter; in
France and Switzerland it is the mar
mot; in England it is the hedgehog,
Observations shows that sometimes
these alleged forecasters of weather
conditions do not always foretell ac-
curately.
In Scotland the representation is
expressed as follows: IF Candlemas
is fair and clear, there'll be two win
ters in the year" However, it is a
general truth that in temperate lat
itudes warm and sunny weather in
the first half of February is apt to be
followed by a change and a cool
spring, and on this fact our ground
hog and badger stories are founded,
say the authorities.

CHICAGO Gossip.

Chicago, Feb. 2.-Sentiment locally
in wheat favored the bull side for a
turn last night. Few traders, however,
were willing to predict any sustained
advance in prices, but there was a
general belief that prices had been
depressed too much for the present
and that shorts will be obliged to
cover before there would be any re-
newal of the confident selling that
marked the recent decline. The over
sold condition of the market was re-
fiected by the quick rallies, and al
though commission houses were free
sellers on the strong spots, the market
reacted each time after it was de-
pressed. The possibilities of serious
crop scare are entering into the situa-
ton and the prediction of a cold wave
in the southwest was sufficient excuse
for free buying by the local profess
SIGNALS. Well posted studiers of crop
conditions did not look for any ma
terial damage to follow a seasonal BILE
drop in temperatures. Inter Ocean.

Leniency Extended.

In the assault case of Rooster VS..
Hans Christianson, which was heard a
day or two ago by Justice Malloy, but
taken under advisement, the court, to-
day, imposed fine of $40 and costs
or in default twenty days in Jail. There
had been some continuances of the
case and the costs amounted to $21.
In view of depressing financial condi-
tions at the home of the defendant
Justice Malloy RENTED the fine and
the court costs, leaving only SIS for
the defendant to pay, or go to jail.
Christianson was given reasonable
time in which to secure the money re-
quired. The defendant pleaded guilty
to assaulting Mr.. Rooster while on
duty as a city police officer from which
position he was removed.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Grain Letter.

Chicago, Feb -Wheat-Liverpool
wheat closed 3-S to IL higher in SYM
pathy with our firmer closing yetser-
day. Cash demand here remains quiet
with very little inquiry. The market
after opening firm, sold off on free re-
alizing by longs and during the bal
ance of the day ruled nervous within
a narrow range and closed weak. Trade
was fairly large but mostly Of local
professional character. We see moth
ing in the situation to change our
opinion, and believe in the absence of
cash demand or very unfavorable crop
accounts, that prices will work lower.
