New York, April s.--Much mys-
|terytery surrounds the case Of a
youthful and very pretty bride from
Dixie land who was Tuesday sent
W the almshouse on Blackwell's Is
land. pending an Investigation by
the state boArd OF charities.
The young. woman said her name

ms years old, q native OF Kittrell. N.
&. q small village OF Vance county.
and that she had married In the town

The marriage. according to the
girl, took place ten days ago. Then
Ion Friday last---it may be noted that
the day was not April 1----her hus-
band told her to 20 to New York. and
THAT II his relatives did not meet her
at the depot" to Inquire for them
and anyone would direct her to their
house. He himself was so busy that
he could not accompany her. but he
wanted her TO meet his folks and he
would join her very soon.
Early Sunday morning demure
figure attired in neat travelling
dress and wearing a picture hat
alighted from train In the Penn
sylvania terminal and sat down on a
bench to await the arrival or the
Messenburgs. None came. The
hours went by and the shades OF
evening fell.
The weary watcher became very
hungry and finally found courage to
ask negro porter where the Messen-
burgs lived. The darby showed his
white teeth In broad grin. and ex-
planned how big New York is and
how little any one knew OF any one
else.
Taken 20 City Lodging House.

The porter invoked the assistance OF
Mrs. Hess. OF the Travellers Aid So

Nine. Gadski, the greatest Wagner
ian soprano in this country, will sing
in Grand Forks Monday, October %,
that date having just been secured by
the management for Wesley conserva-
tory's artist recital course. It will
be the first number Of the course and
the biggest. even a greater musical
treat than was 'Melba last season.
Nine. Gadski is continually COM
pared with Melba and musicians will
say every time that Gadski is much
the greater artist. Her singing is the
kind that would draw the same au-
diences night after night and her APP
pearance here should attract an at
tendance that will tax the capacity of
the auditorium. The artist course
management has promised something
better each year in its concert Offer
ings and to say that they have more
than fulfilled their promise in secur-
ing Gadski Is putting it mildly. Mon
ey could not secure a better or great
er artist and Grand Forks is particu-
larly fortunate.

THROW ASIDE CHECKS
IN SUM OF o 500

Using nitro glycerine with evident
accurate knowledge as to its erec-
tlVeness. yeggmen at about $3.50 this
morning blew up the safe of the AL
pert janice saloon at Fisher, Polk,
county, securing about 5000 in cash.
Residents of the little town heard
the explosion but 40 investigation was
made, discovery of the robbery not be-
Ing made until after daylight when
1t was found that almost the entire
front Of the saloon building had been
blown out.
The yeggmen, supposedly four in
number, carried the cash drawer of
the safe to a point in the railroad
yards several hundred feet away, and
there emptied it of its contents.
Checks to the value of about 500 held
no charm for the men and they were
left at the point where the division of
profits seems to have been made.
Probably the only clue on which
the officers will be able to work Is
found in the fact that Friday evening
four men left East Grand Forks for
Fisher, travelling on the night train
to Duluth. The men in question have
not been seen since. One was of
medium height, about % years old,
light complexioned and very good
looking. Another al tall, slender
and pale, while the other two men
were dark and Of medium height.
The yeggmen caused considerable
damage to the interior of the saloon
building, blowing out all windows and
wrecking fixtures by the force of the
explosion.
Automobile tracks have been found
at a point near the Great Northern
depot in Fisher and may have some
connection with the mode of depar-
ture.
Polk county authorities are on the
Job but up to a late hour this after
noon had been unsuccessful.
A broken window in the Great Nor
thern depot at Fisher was also found
this morning but the men had not en-.
tered that building.

Once more the supporters of the
city of Pembina in the fight to retain
the county seal honors in Pembina
county will have opportunity to de-
fend themselves against the claim
laid by the city of Cavalier to pos
session Of such honor by virtue of
last years election.
The North Dakota supreme court
made a decision Friday afternoon
granting a rehearing Of the case to
the Pembina city petitioners, this re-
nearing being granted on a motion
that was presented several weeks ago.
In the last decision of the states
highest court, it was held that Cava-
lier was the winner in the election
and that there were no legal entan-
clements that should bar the giving
OF the honor to that city. On the
strength of this decision Cavalier held
a big celebration.
Now comes the new hearing of the
issue, and Pembina supporters are
naturally the happy ones this time.
Arguments on the rehearing order
will be made before the supreme court
at Bismarck Tuesday, October 3.

League Headquarters.
According to the plans that the
Woman's league of the university has
under way, the rooms in the basement
of Davis hall that have been occu-
pied for many years by the boarding
department are to be turned to a pur-
pose hat will make them more than
popular among the women students Of
the institution. Several Of the old
partitions are to be removed and a
large part Of the space is to be trans
formed into a large recreation room.
This will be the place for formal and
informal gatherings Of women when
ever they desire to assemble. Ada
cent to this room will be situated a
reading room, furnished with all Of
the latest periodicals and with writ
ing materials. Also conveniently sit
uated, will be a small lunch room
where the wants of girls who come
from the city can be taken care of.
The large southwest room which has
four large windows will be fitted up
as a rest room chiefly for the wirls
who come from town and must spend
all day around the institution and have
heretofore had no better place for
headquarters than the small cloak
room in main building. AS part Of
this suite. a locker room will be pro-
vided and everything possible will be
done to provide for the comfort Of
those who will be obliged to spend a
good bit of their time here. The uni
versity is taking care of the necessary
carpenter work and the Women's
league is doing the furnishing of these
rooms. In this good work, all of the
women of the university will have an
opportunity to cooperate, as this or
ganization includes them all. This
plan for the utilization of the old COM
mons quarters has been under con-
sideration for some time and with the
cooperation and assistance of a num-
Der of the faculty ladies, the gathering
of funds is already we'll advanced. 1t
is probable that the complete realiza-
tion of the plan will be delayed some
what, but it is already evident that
enough will be done during the COM
ing school year to make these rooms
a place of real joy an dcomfort to the
ome of the university.
