Robustness Girl
Dignity is Asset;
Girl Who Is "Good Fellow
Among Men Does Not
Win Their Respect.
SHE WHO SUCCEEDS
ATTENDS TO WORK

Twas interested the other day,
says a business woman, writing
in the Woman's Magazine, 10
read an advertisement in a news
paper for dignitied young wom-
an to act in the capacity of secre
tary to the president Of bank.
1t pleased me greatly to see this,
for [ have always believed that
a certain amount of dignity was
d paying assert.
Dignity in a woman is at all
times admirable, but especially
SO so in the business world,
where she is judged by her quail
ties and merit alone--. not by her
family connexions or her ability
to sing.
A girl who is too familiar with
the other employees, especially
among the men, laughs and has
a good time with them in the
Office, Is not as a rule a success.
She may be liked to certain
extent. and possibly be called a
good fellow" but She will not
be respected as she should be.
It seems to me if there is one
thing woman should resent be-
ing called it is a ''good fellow. "
You may be gracious and
friendly, but keep yourself .aloof
and attend strictly to business.
Whether at home or IN the office
there is only one thing to be, and
that is womanly woman always

Marks to be placed between the
bands SO that no part of the
marks shall be covered by the
band; no other mark will be al
lowed upon the bale except the
head brand, if any. and the mark
under which the bale is moving
for export. All other marks to
be thoroughly obliterated so that
no part of any old mark will ap-
pear, except upon round bales
then the gin mark will be allow
ed to remain as this mark is very
essential to the shipper and will
in no way effect the mark under
which the bale is being exported.
Z When the quality of bagging
is insufficient to carry the marks
plainly to destination. patch of
good bagging or cloth bearing
the mark shall be put on the bale

considered durably and legibly

DENSITY OF BALES.
IS Freight engagements will
here after be made with the fol-
lowing clauses:
The standard bale gin box will
be q x "a inches as the basis OF
this freight engagement, and
cotton and cotton llnters must be
Of minimum density on delivery
to the steamer of twenty-five and
one half pounds perN cubic foot
for each bale. Any bale that
does not show this density if not
repressed to the required density
shall pay an extra freight of 50
cents per bale. Bales OF larger
dimensions that cannot be press.
ed to a minimum density of
twenty two and one half pounds
per cubic foot shipside, shall pay
an extra freight of one dollar per
bale.
Whereas, the American bale of
cotton has for generations past
been universally condemned as
the most shameful evidence of
wasteful and insufficient covering
and whereas the government ex.
perts have figured the losses re-
sulting from the present system
as high as fifty million per
annum.
Be it resolved, that this con-
terence of ship agents represent.
ing the North and South Attain
tic and Gulf Ports of this coun-
try hereby call up on the cotton
carrying railroads and all other
interests to take prompt steps to
do their part in cooperation
with the steamship interests, to
end the present shameful meth.

greatest crop IN the United
States.

The UNANIMOUS
DECISION BILL
IS FAVORED

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 24.-The un-
expected happened in the house
yesterday afternoon and house bill No.
32 which provides that a unanimous
decision of the supreme court is
necessary to declare an act of the
legislature unconstitutional was re-
commended to pass by the committee
of the whole without debate from
either side. 1t was expected on ac-
count of the fireworks started yester-
day that there would be another clash
between opposing parties when the
bill came UP for final settlement. How
ever, when a motion was made that
bill be recommended "do pass there
was no objection and yea and nay
vote was strongly in favor of the
motion.
Other bills considered in committee
of the whole were house bill No. IL
changing the chambers for seventh
judicial district from Pembina, Penn
bina county to Grafton, Walsh county,
recommended do pass. Thirty relating
to duties of state treasurer, do pass.
F'orty-seven relating to chattel mort
cages, do pass. Sixty three relating
to rights of purchasers of land at sale
for the non payment of taxes, do pass.
Seventy eight describing the crime of
bootlegging and fixing punishment, do
pass. Thirty-one relating to cancel
lation of land contract, adding some
features to present law, do pass.
During session of the house as COM
mittee of the whole Sorlie called at
tention to report of the committee
having been appointed to look into
the reason why department reports
were not on the desks of the members
for their reference. In speaking of
the matter he speculated as to whether
or not some of the departments did
not want to keep their reports from

OWEN RICHARDS
FOUND With A
BULLET IN HEAD

Jamestown, N. d., Jan. 24.-Word
reached the city yesterday afternoon
of the death of owen Richards, son
of Grant Richards, who lives about
FIVE miles southwest of jamestown.
Death was due to bullet wound in
the head, which entered just above the
right ear. The bullet was from a
number % cartridge. He was at the
home of his father at 8 a. m, at
WHICH time the shooting occurred.
There are various conflicting re-
ports as to the cause of the shooting
and up to late hour nothing def
mite had been given to the public. Ut
is known that young Richards was
in the house up stairs at the time he
was shot, and the shooting occurred
soon after he had gone UP. A COR
.cner's inquest was held during the
Cay.
One theory points to suicide OF
the young man, and still another as
signs a different reason. Al young
lady was stopping at the house, and
1t Is reported that Richards was
found In her room. T'he deceased
was about 20 years of age. DR.. Mo-
vius was called and ma lie an exani :
nation OF the wsund Tie results
of the coroner's inquest will propa-
bly, throw more light on the facts
and circumstances surrounding the
scase.

ROCKWELL
IS MADE
DEFENDANT
Lessee Was Interpleaded as
Defendant
Testimony Harkens Back 10
Keefe Charges
P. H. Cummings and Belfry
Also Defendants

An echo Of the recent raid of the
resorts of ill-repute and also of the
recent police department scandal, in
which serious charges were perferred
against Chief of Police Keefe. was
heard this morning in the district
court in the case of the state of
North Dakota VS.. p. H. Cummings and
William Belfry, and f. o. Rockwell,
who was only today interpleaded as a
defendant.
The hearing of this case proved
most interesting and took some of the
noon hour. Its purpose is to dissolve
the temporary injunction issued by
the district court Judge at the time
the recent raid was made and which
closed all the houses and places raided
that evening.
Among the places raided that night
were some rooms in building on N.
p. avenue owned by Alderman Cum
mings. Mr.. Rockwell is the lessee OF
the building, having q five-year lease
on the same. Mr.. Hedlund acts as
Mr.. RockWell's manager and agent of
the building and has the rental of the
rooms and stores therein in charge
The rooms in the building that We're
raided and closed that night were
rented by William Belfry
The defendant, Mr. Rockwell, main :
tains that as he did not come actively
in touch with the tenants, he did not
know the sort of place the defendant
Belfry was conducting. The state con
tends, on the other hand that his
agent Mr.. Hedlund did know, as com
plaint WAS made to him when he was
notified last summer, and that 1T was
only natural aor the agent to have
told his employer.
on the stand MIR Hedlund testified
he had not informed Mr.. Rockwell of
