The following is message read by
Governor Lynn J. Frazier before a
joint session of the Fifteenth assembly
Of the North Dakota legislature today
on the proposed new constitution for
the state:
Gentlemen Of the senate and house
Of representatives:
Il wish to call your attention to the
concurrent resolution which has been
introduced in the house. known as
House Bill No. A., which, in my
opinion, is the most important meas
ure that will come before this session.
This resolution has for it's object the
submission to the people Of a new con-
stitution for our state for their ap-,
proval or rejection at q special election
next June.
This constitution is practically our
old constitution with a few additions
of progressive measures, which 1 be-
lieve will work for the betterment of
the state. The most important new
features are found in Sections "a, 169
and 172.
These sections are as follows:

Farmers Royalty
Welcomed to Fargo
For Great Series of
Annual Gatherings
Delayed Trains Pouring Hundreds of Farmers Into the
City Late Today-C Convention Called to Order at
10 O'clock by President Waldron.

eighteenth annual convention OF the
Tri-State Grain & Stock Growers as
sociation was called to order by Pres.

This afternoon the attendance was
doubled and prospects are that the at
tendance will be large during the
remainder of the meeting.
The morning program was highly
interesting, two very important farm
products being discussed-seed pota-
toes and seed corn. In dealing with
these crops C. e. Brown OF st.
Anthony Park, Minn., who spoke on
Growing and Marketing Seed Pota-
toes, and Otto Uhlhorn, county agent
of Ransom county, who addressed the
convention on A Farmers Experience
in Corn Breeding, brought out some
very interesting facts, each making
several very pointed statements that
will be carried home by those who
heard them.
After q few brief remarks, Presi-
dent Waldron introduced DR.. r. A.
Beard, pastor of the First Congrega-
tional church of this city, who pro-
nounced the invocation, asking for
Divine blessings and guidance and that
the session might be profitable for the
good of all mankind. -a

Sec. J. p. Hardy of the Fargo Com
mercial club was the first speaker on
the program, welcoming the farmers
to the city and speaking in a most
interesting manner on the subject of
The Larger Cooperation. ~
In part Mr.. Hardy said:
'sThe privilege of extending to you
Fargo's welcome, is one not to be
lightly esteemed. I,speak to you to-
day as the representative of the Com

Washington, Jan. 16.-Thomas w.
Lawson was called to the witness
stand again today, when the house
rules committee resumed It's hearing
on the alleged leak of Wall street on
President Wilson's peace note.
Mr.. Lawson described his visit to
New York publishers after his inter-
view with Chairman Henry. He said
he asked them their advice on whether
he should go on with his charges or
drop them. Speaking Of his talk with
Donald Mcdonald, Lawson said:
II impressed on him the confidence
which your chairman impressed on
me, as everything was friendly be-
tween Henry and me then"
UNLESS your chairman said what !
say he did, I am guilty Of foul per-
jury" Lawson dramatically declared
to the committee. "rm guilty Of foul
perjury and unfit to be anywhere out
side the bars Of prison"
Il was very much worked up about
the Henry statement" Lawson con-
tinued. I'VE had agreed on one. He
had said you word it. I did and he
said 1t was fair and gave both sides
and we shook hands on it, When I
read his statement, it appeared unfair.
It looked as though in the three hours

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 16.-The Wo-
man suffrage issue Is before the house
of representatives for final action
both statutory and constitutional suf-

That both measures will pass the

Both measures came out OF the

Never in the history Of the suffrage
movement has such speedy action
been attained.

made that many periodicals have been
forced to raise their prices.

Outlook from $50 to 1898.
This is but partial list of the mag
azincs that have Of necessity been com
PEELED to increase their subscription
price as well as the single issue price.
Many of them have had at this time to
renew their contracts for paper, and so
were obliged to meet the extra expense
in the only way possible. Those of the
magazines fortunate enough to have
longer contracts are safe enough for
the time being, but they realize that
something will have to be done in the
near future.

The peg tooth Is an nfrm substitute

The teeth are justly considered a
greater scourge to humanity than the

youth to old age they cause more
trouble than the church member who
always kicks but never pays. Nature
intended the teeth to last for a life
time, instead OF breaking down at the

amend the old rules under which busi-
ness has been done for several SEES

Evidently the members will ''stand

One of these 'privileges is the IA

The new rules proposed by Former

Darling, and the secretary of the SEN
ate aud the clerk Of the house pro
posed to make a tlree-fourths vote
necessary to reconsider the vote by
which a measure was disposed of.
This would Toe in harmony with the
old rules, which required three
fourth vote to suspend the rules. Re
consideration is virtual suspension OF
the rules and of common parliament
airy practice; therefore at least n two
thirds vote ought to be required to
reconsider a bill.
The same thing applies to the pro
