fine SHOW IN
Big TENT TONIGHT
The Girl of Eagle Ranch to be Pre-.
scented by Burrows & Leslie
Company.

The Girl of Eagle Ranch, which is
to be presented tonight by the Bur
rows & Leslie Show Co., in their big
tent near Hardy street bridge, is
claimed by the management to be as
complete picture of Western life as
it is possible to present within the
limits of a stage. There are two
types Of Western entertainment-the
Arena Wild West-of which Buffalo
Bill is the standard, showing Western
life on the grand scale; and the stage
drama, giving detailed examples of
classes of men and women that could
be found among the Rocky Mountains,
during the early settlement of our
country. Miss Leslie and Mr.. Bur-
rows spent four years in old Mexico,
Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado,
and are well qualified to play
the style of characters they represent
in the Girl of Eagle Ranch.
The costumes, spurs, knives, quirts,
ETC., used tonight were purchased in
Arizona, and are the genuine articles.
To amuse everybody who likes to
laugh, land who does mott the black
face parts, Dandy" and the Irishman,
heir to the Irish throne" we venture
to say are two of the funniest charac-
tiers ever seen on the American stage
The bad man is seen in all his pris-
tine deviltry, but eventually realizes
that the wages of sin is death.
The Girl of Eagle Ranch takes you
to a picturesque region, where life is
like the land; large, strongly colored
and tempestuous.

Three CONVICTS
TRIED TO ESCAPE

Jackson, Miss, Feb, l6.-Three con
victs attempted to break out oil the
hospital cage at Rankin state farm
Tuesday, but the plot was discovered
by Sergeant ]. Y. Mccoy and his CHER
assistant. Mr.. Purvis, and the escape
prevented.
There were three men in the plot.
which was concocted by Gurley,
known among the other convicts as
Baby Gal The others were Camp
bell, who claims to have heart disease,
and who feigned an attack Tuesday
morning and was sent to the hospital,
and Frank Dewitt
Gurley has a record of three es-
capes to his credit already. He is
life-termer. and has been feigning ILL
ness for several days in order to exc
cute his plot.
They had secured tools in some way
and had sawed a hole through the
floor, by which they were to get out
of the hospital.

four months without the aid of two
cruthces. She was led to the Owl
Drug Store, not able to walk alone.
She has tried every remedy that she
heard Of, but got no relief until she
heard of the Health Teacher and his
wonderful Quaker Remedies. She
called and purchased a treatment OF
Quaker Extract and on Of Balm and
the report from her son is that she
is now walking without the aid of her
clutches. This happens after taking
the Quaker Remedies only three days.
Isn't 1t remarkable? Any one doubt
ing this may call on Mrs. Ezell, s07

which the Health Teacher visits,
some persons or other invariably
asks the foolish and absurd question,
Does the Quaker Extract produce

does the Health Teacher possess

substance, was asked at the Owl

Remedies. These remedies are pre-

to cut them out of any revenues for
turning tonnage over to them. There
are several small roads in this state
that are interested in this case, and
strong fight is being made by the
little fellows for their share of the
patronage.
Capt. John A. Webb, president of
the Mississippi railroad commission,
has just been notified that the hear
in has been postponed. This case
first came up at New Orleans, when
testimony was taken by a number of
the interstate commerce commission
several weeks ago, but further hear
ing in the case was transferred to
Washington.
The fight, it seems, is one of the
trunk lines to abolish a system of re-
batting in certain states, where the
tap lines were paid large bonus to
turn the business over to certain
road. The larger roads want to break
this up, and their only way was to go
before the interstate commerce COM
mission.

final REVIEW
OF CONTROVERSY
Over State Bonds May be Heard by
the Supreme Court Next
Week.

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 16.-State
Senator Clayton d. Potter, attorney
for complainant in the celebrated state
bond controversy, expects to get the
litigation before the supreme court for
final review during the coming week.
Although there will not be another
call of the civil docket for the middle
district in the tribunal until March,
the supreme court has promised to
make the appeal preference cause,
and this means an immediate hear
ing.
The style Of the case is Mrs. Emma
Edwards VS.. George R. Edwards, treas
urer, being an action by the mother
of the treasurer to compel him to pay
interest on a small block of the $780,
900 bond issue from July LIST, date of
issuance, to Dec. 5th, the date UPON
which she became the purchaser Of
the securities.
This will take place squarely be.
fore the supreme court for decision
of whether sale of bonds at face
value, with accrued interest coupon
for the semi-annual period attached,
constituted sale below par. Senator
Potter is confident that the refusal of
the state treasurer will be sustained
and, if this should prove the case,
then Governor Noel will Immediately
order a special session of the legisla-
ture.
The mandamus suit is now pending
before Judge w. A. Henry, of this
circuit court district, who has taken
it under advisement and it is proba-
BILE that he will render his decision
after which the record will be hastily
prepared and carried to the supreme
court.
1t is the contention of Governor
Noel and the attorney general that a
odie 1T lace Ndlue CONSTITUTES d safe
at par, regardless of the interest cou,
pons, or the amount of interest that
may have accrued from the time the
bonds we're dated to the actual day
of sale.
1t is commended, furthermore, that
the legislature anticipated just such
contingency in the enactment of the
senate bill No. $40, chapter 49, laws
of 1910, which appropriates $4,000
for the purpose of paying interest ac-
cruing on the 100000 bond issue
from July 1st, 1910 to Jan. LIST, 1911
This specific amount covers interest
for the semi-annual period, and can
not be used for any other purpose
The act also authorizes the auditor
ito issue his warrant for the semi
annual interest as it may become
due"

kept up, while cypress doors also cut
quite a figure. They are bought in
preference to yellow pine doors. On
the contrary, the North demands yell
low pine doors in preference to other
woods, and most of our yellow pine
doors go to the northern markets.
Part of this is due to the fact that the
original yellow pine doors were de-
fective and got bad reputation in
the Southwest. Those Of the present
are among the finest doors that can
be made from wood. and there is never
kick to the manufacturer from the

The second anual meeting of tn.
North Dakota Dry Farming Associa
tion will be held at Dickinson Decem
Der Z to 8. At the same time there
viii be held the first Dickinson Mid
winter Fair. It is expected that there
will be farmers in attendance at this
gathering from every section of the
state.
The North Dakota Dry Farming AS.
sociation was organized to benefit the
farmer. The business men are inter
ested in it for they know that when
the farmer is benefited the merchant
is also benefited. In 1909 when crops
were good the merchants were pros.
porous. The fall after two dry seas
ons merchants say that trade is very
poor and collections difficult. The
cause Of the bad years has been the
lack of moisture. Those that have
studied the problem say that if GER
tain methods of farming had been
carried out much better crops would
have been harvested in 1910 and 1911.
Results with the farmers themselves
indicate that this is true. We have
records of good crops this year grown
on land where the moisture of 1910
had been conserved. Farmers that
had live stock and grew corn and al
falfa found that they made money ev'
en- in 1911, while farmers that depend
ed principally upon wheat and oats
for a living in 1911 found that they
had nothing to show for their work.
The aim of the association is to
get farmers together from western
North Dakota, or from the whole state
for that matter, and discuss with them
why some methods are more success
full than others, and to endeavor to
induce the farmers generally to fol-
low the most successful method. II
the association succeeds in this even
to a limited extent then the energy
and expended viii be repaid many fold.
