Mrs. Fiske.

If there was ever a more delighted
audience in the Fargo operahouse than
last night it is extremely difficult to
recall the instance Mrs. Ffske as
Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh, has risen to
the highest pinnacle of successful
comedy
She gave great satisfaction with the
one exception that in her rapid flow
of speech in reading her lines much of
1T could not be understood by those in
the audience. Mrs. Fiske is gifted
with certain charm OF personality
and an ability which allowed her to
hold undivided the attention of her
audience during all the time of her
upon the stage and as she was the CEN
trail figure Of the play her presence
was seldom missing.
Mrs F'iske during the evening, ap-
peared in two entirely different char
acters, one Of the highly cultured Eng
fish lady she was supposed to be under
the name of Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh,
and the other that of the daughter
Of Jim Sales, a vendor Of patent med
icines. The rapid changes of her act
ing as brought out by changes of
situation, one while in the presence
of her friends, and the other while
alone with the members Of her family,
gave full play for her versatility and
histronic abilities and proved the
foundations for the appreciation of the
audience i'm her work.
Not to Mrs. Fiske alone is due the
credit for the excellence of the per-
Torrance but to great extent to the
high character of her support can be
credited the success of the play. AS
Mrs. De Sale, the mother of Mrs.
Bumpstead-Leigh Miss Florine Arnold
proved an actress of wonderful ability
she being compelled to depict the un-
couthness Of the patent medicine mans
wife and also the antics while en-
deavoring to affect the customs of
high society. Miss Arnold's task was
a difficult one and one that was wen
performed.
AS the hoosier salesman of tomb
stones who lent himself to the task of
unmasking the fraudulent society wo-
man, Malcolm Duncan, as Peter Swal-
low. made most pronounced hit, as
| also did the other members Of the
cast. The company as a whole gave
the utmost satisfaction.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 1.-One
hundred and twenty five years ago to-
day the United States granted its first

To Samuel Hopkins of Vermont be-
longs the honor OF having received
the flrst patent. This was granted
July 81. 1890, and was for a device
for making pot and pearl ashes, which
are the matter remaining after evap-
Grafton when vegetable matter is re-
fined in crueible, the extractive SUBJ
stance being burned off and dissipated.
The patent issued to Mr.. Hopkins,
however, was not patent No. 1, so far
as the records go, for several thous-
ands OF patents were issued by the
government before it began number
ing them. John Ruggles took out pat
emit No. for steam engine designed
to run on an inclined plane. The date
Of this patent was July %, 1885. This
was forty six years after the first pat
emit issued to Mr.. Hopkins ana in the
meantime nearly 10000 other patents
had been granted by the young gov

Bill at Police Headquarters.
AT police headquarters yesterday
afternoon there appeared one Of the
|citys well known cab liverymen and
a colored couple whom he had driveni
to certain point in the city. The
trio came to have the police headquar-
tiers settle a dispute which had arisen
over the payment of the bill charged
by the cabman.
The driver had taken the couple to
the destination and charged them 81,
which they complained was in excess
of the regular rate. When neither
could arrive at any settlement, the
cabman suggested that all go to police
headquarters and allow the officials to
decide the price. This was agreed up
on and they all drove to the police sta
ton, where the dispute was decided
in favor Of the hackman and the couple,
paid their bill without further alterca-'
ton.

Ed IN ARMY AND CLAIMS TO
HAVE BEEN YOUNGEST EN-

Andrew H. Burke, former governor

claim for being the youngest soldier
in the union army during the civil
war Mr.. Burke was in Kansas City
recently and there read of William
,. 0twell Of that city, who had made
similar claim being under Is when
he enlisted.
The following article from The
Kansas City Star will be OF interest
to North Dakotans:
Now really dislike, Columbus
like, to knock Mr.. Orwell out of first
place for the honor OF being the
youngest soldier that enlisted in the
civil war, which he claims In The
Star, Saturday morning." said Burke.
But, like the Kansas City blues, ]
guess he will have to be content with
second place and let me move into
first place. though 1t be for a few days
only, or until, possibly, another
claimant for the honor comes along
and shoves me into second place. and
Mr.. Dwell into third place. You
know there is always the possibility
Of there being others.
Anyhow, both of us win always be
members of the first division because
that distinction takes in all less than
10 years old and he and L can easily
qualify for that honor" Here Mr.
Burke became reminiscent.

II. Burke, the drummer Of Co. ID.
He was born May is, 1850, and
at the time of his enrolment, was a

and grayish-blue eyes. On account
of his age he had difficulty in obtain

Guthrie, Okla, Mar 30.-Present in
dications are that Senator Bailey of
Texas will be associated with Attor-
ney General West in opposing, in the
United States supreme court, the ap-
peal of the citizens of Guthrie from
the state supreme courts opinion up
holding the location the state cap
ital at Oklahoma City. The lower court
held that the enabling act, locating
the capital at Guthrie until after 1913,
is not binding The case will be argu-
ed in the United States supreme court
April g.
Governor Lee Cruce and Mr. West
are in consultation relative to Baileys
employment in the case. 1t develops
that citizens of Oklahoma City desire
Senator Bailey's services and petition
ed Governor Cruce, who took the mat
ter up with West The latter's en-
ployment would be a discourtesy to
United States Senator Robert L..
Owen of Oklahoma because of the re-
cent political tilt between the two SEN
ators.
West, in his brief, asks that Guth-
rie's appeal be dismissed or the de-
cision of the Oklahoma state supreme
court be affirmed.
He makes the point that no federal
question is involved in the case, and,
therefore, it is unnecessary for the
United States supreme court to deter
mine whether the Oklahoma supreme
! court was right or wrong in its con-
clusions. He declares that federal laws
dealing with local affairs were sus-
pended by statehood, and after state
hood the enabling act can have no
force and effect as to local state mat
tiers as a law of congress, and that the
enabling act provisions have no effect
as compact
The last assertion he bases, he says
on former decisions of the United
States supreme court He maintains
that if there has been breach of the
enabling act provisions in moving the
capital, only the United States can
complain and consequently there is
no ease" or controversy" in which

BALLARD DENIES ENTERING
INSURANCE CONSPIRACY

Oklahoma City, Mar 3O.-Specifical-
ly denying that he had entered into
a conspiracy with the Reliable Hail
Insurance company of Oklahoma City
or any other insurance company in
Oklahoma, P. A. Ballard, state insur-
ance commissioner, has issued a state
ment relative to the $4,000 damage
suit filed against him at Enid by the
Union Mutual Insurance company of
that city.
Through a published announcement
by the insurance commissioner revok-
ing the license of the Union Mutual
Insurance company, this company de-
clares it has been financially damaged
and that the insurance commissioner
entered into conspiracy with the Ok
lahoma City company, of which A. H.
Geissler of this city is president.
In his statement, Mr.. Ballard quoted
from the constitution and from the in
surance laws of the state. He says he
acted wholly in pursuance of law in
revoking the license of the Enid COM
pany, He declares that the charge
that the Reliable Hail Insurance com
pany of Oklahoma secured his cleo

ATTORNEY GENERAL WEST

of the state capital, even temporarily,
was not within the power of congress,
and he adds that congress cannot, pro-
eeeding from its own authority enact
the law of the state of Oklahoma ex-
cept the federal law in that state which
likewise is in force in other states.
The brief says:
1t would appear that all the pro-
visions of the enabling act are but
commands to the people of the state
and its convention; that in order for
them to have the force and effect of
law, the commands must be obeyed If
it were disobeyed, congress had the
authority to reject the state. If it be
obeyed, still congress would have au-
thority to reject the state. But when
the state once is admitted, the force of
the law proceeds, not from the act of
congress but from the state law en-
forcing it. Therefore. the compact is
without force. The federal enabling
act in this matter is without force
and all that is in force In the state law,
presenting a matter of state cogniz-
ance not reviewabel in this court"
