500 STRIKE POSSIBLE.
Trouble Growing Out of Effort to Con
vict Conductors Of Fraud.

Fargo.-Soo railroad men at Ender
lin, predict that long and costly war
fare has been opened between the 500
railroad and it's conductors by the pros
ecution of Conductors Ryan, Trip,
Toms and Miller on charges of de-
frauding the railway company. The
four men have been acquitted in the
federal court here on the charges.
Despite the verdict, railroad officials
contend that the conductors are guilty,
and it is said they will discharge them.
The trainmen's union already has
taken action anticipating the discharge
of the accused conductors. If they are
discharged the union will declare a
general strike.
Witnesses testified in court that con-
ductors were practicing a system
whereby they defrauded their road out
of thousands of dollars monthly.

In . manner rather shocking, to say
the least. is5 d
Sunday night two girls, one IA, the
other 16 years old, were found dead
drunk on the sidewalk in front Of
rooming house here. They were ar
rested and place on dray and hauled
to the city Jail, where they remained
until the next night. Both were very
sick and the police were unable to
render proper assistance because
Fargo has no police matron.
AS a result Of the arrest OF the two
little girls, club women of the city
began campaign to compel the au-
thorities to take action. Seven mass
meetings have been held since.
Mayor, w. D. Sweet issued orders to
close the tenderloin this morning and
there was a general exodus of this
class today.
The federated club women Of the
city, headed by Mrs. Beula Amidon,
wife Of Judge Amidon of the federal
court, have pr titioned for police ma
iron. At the mass meetings F. L.
Watkins, superintendent of the State
Enforcement league, and Ralph Wolf,
secretary Of the Y. M. G. A., told Of
their experiences in gathering evil
dence against Inhabitants of the ten
derloin. Mrs. Amidon said dance halls
in the city admit little girls and boys
much under age and remain open until
5 o'clock in the morning. A mass
meeting was held in the Tabernacle to
protest. Committees on attendance
made personal visits to every home in
Fargo.
Just now, there is no telling just
what the agitation will lead to. It is
a safe wager, however. that the move.
ment will end in betterment of the
moral conditions of Fargo.

LIFE STORYOF ONE OF THE
WORLDS FAMOUS WOMEN

When. on August Il. 1855, it was flashed
across the wires that Helen Hunt Jack
son had died the American people felt
that they had sustained great loss Yet
to-day many know little OF this woman
and her early life, and how. with the
simple initials. III. H." she won her
place among famous women.
Helen Jackson was born in Amherst.
Mass, October IS, 1881. and inherited
from her mother a sunny, bouyant ma
ture and from her father. Nathan w.
Fiske. professor of languages and phil
Osophy in the college, a strong and Wig
or"us mind.
In the year 1851 in St. Nicholas for
September and October she gives a vivid
description of the naughtiest day Of
my life which shows the ardent. wiIlful
child VINO was one day to stand out fear
lessIy before the nation and tell the
statesmen the wrong they had done to
her Indians" The day referred TO was
one in which she and a friend wandered
far away from home and spent most Of
the night in the woods, only 10 be found
and carried hack by two Amherst pro-
fessors.
Soon. however. she was placed in the
school of the author. the Rev. J. S. c.

Of her happiest days were spent.

commented upon It editorially. only to adj
NIT its truth.
Same Old Story.
Its comment was the same old story
We have heard before-the busy man
battling in the strenuous mercantile war
fare. the restless wife looking for pleas
ure and chatting under restriction. His
idea, the making of more and still more
money; hers. the most delightful, royal
| way to spend II. His. the fault of too
much work just for an excess OF money,
hers, the folly of two much time with
nothing to do, too much wild pursuit OF
,, pleasure.
And the reader scarcely knew where
it placed the balance OF blame.
But deary me
That was a real woman. with a real
husband. and a real home town in the
West, and her ridiculous confession OF
weakness must have been read by thou
sands who knew her and her husband.
1t may be a question who suffered the
more by the absurd statements, but 1t
makes one feel that. after all, II may not
be such a wonderful thing to have a lot
of money. free rein to go when and
where fancy, and fancy alone, dictates.
Because sometimes it happens that folk
no grow too much concerned with the
manner OF their entertainment, their
pleasures. and their whims become one
sided, pleasure-sided, and nothing more.
Not the Happy Women.
There may he a class of men to whom
the calls of business become as exciting
as a game, but they are the high and
mighty financiers who pursue the dollar.
not because they need it, but because
they love the chase.
And there is corresponding class OF
women to whom the pursuit Of pleasure
grows just as alluring. but they are the
women who look upon entertainment as
their daily food. as necessary as the
bread they eat They are not the women
who work, with brains or hand. not the
wives Of men who work because they
need to work
And more than that-thev are not the
harry women. Because the happy wo-
mon. happy wives and others. do no.
need So much entertainment. SO much

to quiet or amuse. Travel. entertain
ments If one kind and another, mIngling
with many people in many lands may

is something to ne said of those who

Perhaps il is not So easy. though
