Northern North Dakota Hit.

Devils Lake, N. D., June S.-North-
ern North Dakota was visited by one
of the fercest electrical and rain
storms of years. The storm extended
over the northern tier Of counties from
Minot east, resembling in many sec
tons cloudburst. Rain fell all after
noon and evening, the storm centering
at Devils Lake, where hail as large
as good-sized marbles fell for about
Is minutes.
There was no wind with the hail
storm and no damage was done. A
driving wind would have caused hun
dreds of dollars of damage in broken
glass. Last evening Grand Forks was
the center of a terrific electrical storm.
One of the big generators of the Red
River Power company was put out of
commission and the East Grand Forks
lighting plant was also struck by a
bolt, which left the lighting system de-
mOralized for some time.

Chicago a~8.-Rainy weather and
bearish cables gave wheat downward
slant. The only support for the market
was apparently coming from cautious
shorts who We're taking profits. Sellers
had their attention especially fixed on
Kansas. the rainfall in that state being
reported as a good hard doWnpour.
Large worlds shipments formed the
principal factors in making the foreign
news adverse to the bulls. The fact
that cash wheat here was not proving
an easily marketable commodity in the
hands of the chief owners also exerted
a depressing effect. Opening prices
were shade to z q e lower. July

Corn sagged in the absence, of de-

main reason. July opened Is to II off

ONLY } HARDY
 OUT OF 10000 CONWAY PUBLIC SCHOOL MAKES REMARKABLE RECORD FOR MONTH-LIBRARY
 NEARLY COMPLETE.

With over 10000 chances for the pupils of the Conway peblic school to become tardy, there were only three cases of tardiness reported in the school during the month ending yes terday, according to Superintendent W. B. Hubbell Mr. Hubbell states there has been no more emphasis laid by the teachers on punctuality than on any other of the rules of the school, but he says it is simply a striking instance of the interest the pupils are taking in their work. The average daily attendance at the school is some what over 300. Each of these pupils has two chances daily or 40 chances during the month to become tardy, yet only three have done so.
 Superintendent Hubhell is delighted with the enthusiasm all the pupils are manifesting in the success of the school. He states that the boys and girls love their work so well that they will not tolerate infractions of the rules themselves, making the task of the teachers to control so large a body very easy one. Everything is absolutely harmonious, Mr. Hubbell says, and there have been but the fewest number of cases requiring dis cipline
 The new library for the school is now almost complete and will be open to the public next Tuesday. The l- brary is handsomely furnished and contains a most valuable collection of books. It was made possible by gifts of public-spirited men and women of Conway, who, without solicitation, subscribed over $1,000 for the pur- pose.

 Friday being senate day in the house, the old state house fight was given little consideration, but was re- sumed this morning. The preserva- tionists gained one point when mo- tion was carried by vote of 46 to 27 to correct the journal by making it appear that he had offered motion to reject the Hardage amendment providing for a referendum, which has the effect of giving Kerwin, a friend of the state house, the closing instead of Hardage, author if the amendment. When this amendment is decided the question will recur on the provisions of the main bill which will mean another long drawn out dis cussion, which is likely to occupy the greater part of the coming week. It has developed into the greatest fight of the legislative session so far.

REVENUE BILL
 NEARLY READY ToBE REPORTED TO HOUSE
COMMITTEE HAS SPENT WEEKS CONSlD-
 ING MEASURE.

Little Rock, Feb. 25.-After several weeks of consideration of the Hurst Bradham bill, for the readjustment of the state revenue system, the Judlcl- ary committee of the house IS now about ready to report favorably upon the 130 sections of the bill with slight amendments. This bill was framed by D. A. Gates of the Arkansas tax commission, and it is certain that Governor Donaghey also had a hand in the dictation of the measure.
 The judiciary committee will make Iut one material amendment, and this Will aet only to get the true value of all property in the state upon the tax books. The committee will not recom mend q fiat rate Of decrease in the rate of taxation when the property is assessed at full value, but will make the rate of taxation a sliding scale, going up when the value of property is assessed low and coming down when the assessment is high. The bill as originally drawn, provides for a full assessment and fiat rate of de- crease in the rates of taxation. As the amount of taxes the property owner must pay decreases with the amount of taxation on the books, ev- cry taxpayer will work to see that his neighbor assesses his property at full value.
 With all property at full valuation, it is anticipated that the amount on the state books will increase from $3S0 100000 to S1,000,000, 1000. While the increase is expected to be nearly three times the present valuation, the rate of taxation will not be reduced more than half, if that much, as the object of the revision is to gain a revenue sufficient to provide for all expenses of the state government. This system of taxation will apply to aall local matters, as well as state taxation.

NOTES OF THE
 lfCiSIATURE

Little Rock, Feb. 25.-This legisla- ture appears to be interested in the araatlon of more ID 'oays. The sen ate has passed bill making June 3, the birthday of Jefferson Davis, le- gal holiday in the state. It was op- posed ty Senator Friedell, not because of any lack of sympathy with the Confederate cause, but because he considered that we have too many hol- idays already. Senator Rodgers of Benton declared that we already have an Abe Lincoln day and he thought the south should be honored.
 The house passed Senator Friedell's s bill, fixing the per diem of jurors in certain counties at $3.
 The house and senate have invited Dr. E. R. Dibrell, w. P. Fletcher and T. c. McRae of the state board of charities to address a joint session Monday, February 27, at 2 p. m., on the needs of the insane asylum.
 The senate and house have both de- clined to go on record favoring the Frisco exposition, having voted down a resolution pledging moral support to the fair. Representative Little moved to amend the resolution by striking out "in it's wisdom" with ref erence to congressional action, sub stituting "byways that are dark and tricks that are vain" This was voted down and the resolution then defeat ed.

COUNTY AC|TATED
 OVER FENCE LAW
SENTIMENT IS DIVIDED
SENATOR MARTIN BEING URG- ED TO OPPOSE MEASURE
 IN SENATE.

Faulkner county is considerably ag itated just now over the proposed four-wre fence law, which has passed the lower house and is now pending in the senate The Log Cabin Demo- crat is called over the long distance phone a half dozen times daily by per sons in various parts of the county de- siring to know the attitude of the bill st present, and is also in receipt of numerous communications for and against the measure.
 1 The bill was introduced in the lower house by Representative Davis of La fayette county and originally provid- 1 cd that a four-wire fence should be a legal fence in Pope county. It also regulates the running at large of all 1 toek except horses, mules, sheep and cattle, the principal effect being that owners of hogs would be required to keep them up. As similar bill was introduced for Conway county on the vest of us and has since become a law, Representative W. W. Martin offered and amendment, which was adopted,
 including Faulkner county in Repre- sentative Davis bill, making it apply to both counties. The bill was then passed by the house. It has now gone to the senate, but has not yet reached it's first reading in that body.
 Senator A. c. Martin, who is in the city today, said he had received a great many letters, some urging him to support, others demanding him to oppose the bill. The "antis" he stat ed, seemed to be the more active, and had informed him that numerously- signed petitions against the fence law were now being circulated and would be forwarded to him. The fight on the measure has placed Senator Martin in rather an awkward position. On account of Capt. Martins lifelong residence in the county and the high ICSdIu III WHICH Hc 10 IISlC, CIiC SCildCol says he would dislike very much to do him an apparent discourtesy by op- posing a bill which he had introduced and passed in the lower house. On the other hand, Senator Martin says I if it is true that majority of the farmers are opposed to fence law that he would not want to force one on them. Unless the representative in the upper house is able to learn the sentiment of a majority of the people toward the bill, it is probable that he will ask to have it amended so as to leave the matter to vote of the peo- pie at the next general election.
 Some of those opposed to the bill state that they would prefer a general stock law to a four-wire fence law. of we have to fence our crops against all stock except hogs and then fence up the hogs" said one farmer here today, ''it would be cheaper and bet ter for us to make clean sweep and require all stock to be kept up, mak- ing it unnecessary to fence our fields" '" Capt. Martin is receiving some criti- cism on account of the fact, it is claimed, that he announced when he was candidate that he would not favor a stock law unless the people wanted it. Capt. Martin states that the four-wire fence law is not stock law, as it applies only to hogs, and says further that he believes major ity of the people of the county desire such law.

TWO MINUTE TITLE TALKS
 ABSTRACT BOOKS

Are made up by going to the earliest records and reading them page by page and taking the land numbers mentioned and entering them, together with the other information wanted, on a page in the Ab- stract books reserved for that particular tract. In that way, you see, the whole history of a tract of land is shown on one page of the books, for every time we come to that land in the county records we enter it on it's pages.
 Of course there was vast amount of labor in doing it that way, especially when we had to go to Conway county and Pu- laski county for the early rec ords.
 Now, too, we went back and proved all our work, to be doub ly sure, until now, should the county records be destroyed, we could practically reproduce them from our own books.
 We are in position to tell you about your title on very short notice.

BEE BOTH BUSY AND BRAVE

1t was Maeterlinck who idylized the
bee. The master of modern playcraft

entertaining marvels. The bee is not
only the symbol of industry, but 1t is
the exponent of good government, Of
good order, of practical socialism.
Incidentally. the tiny creature is
fiercely sensitive regarding its place.

piness in its own uneventful way. In
the Omaha Union depot two hives Of
bees fell off a truck. and the inmates

In England an accident Of similar
character occurred when a hand hive

and a panic promptly followed
But all the stories concerning the
bee cannot be accepted without inves-
tigation. The bee never poses. 1t
never seeks notoriety. All 1t asks is
to be let alone-and it resents inter-
