IN TRAMPDOM
A Suit of Paper Underwear Gets Two
Weary Willies In Trouble With
Police Judge Gearey.
Two tramps, one stiff and cold from
bis night's rest in an ice house, and
the other smoke cured to the color of
a country ham, revealed in police court
this morning a budding feud that grew
put of a seemingly unforgivable viola
tion of the etiquette of trampdom.
Even the most incredulous of the po
licemen at the central station were con
vinced then that tramps, lacking regu
lar underwear, do line their clothes
jjirith newspapers to shield themselves
.:from the cold.
The ice housed tramp when arrested
said he was "Skim" Butterfield. The
other, who registered at "Free Lunch"
Collins, was caught in a shanty near
the ice house. Collins, because the
night was cold, had built a fire on the
floor of the shanty. The blaze smold
ered and he had been colpred to a turn
when the policemen dragged him out
of the smudge.
When en route to the station the
\two tramps glared fiercely at each
other. It developed later that they had
come to Fargo together and until Sat
urday had been boon companions. Col
lins had fashioned for himself, as tramp
traditions prescribe, a fine new suit
of newspaper underwear. Only the
warmest of carefully selected newspa
pleted Collins hurried off to look for
pleted Colline hurrired off to look for
a handout. Butterfield returned to the
shanty alone. He was cold. He used
the newspapers to start a fire. Natur
ally .there was trouble when Collins
returned, and the separation resulted,
Butterfield slipping off to a nearby ice
bouse to spend the night.
"A person who would set fire to-an
other's underwear, with the thermome
ter 30° below zero, is no gentleman,"
said Collins with much feeling, when
he faced Butterfield in court this morn
ing.
"How did I know it was your under
wear?" asked Butterfield in a mixed
tobe of penitence and reconciliation.
"Never mind renewing that scrap/'

A fresh air fieud is Stephen Wargo,
of Norway, whose roll would justify
apartments at the Waldorf, but who
preferred to sleep in the open air, and
landed in a cell at the police station
as the result.
Policemen found Wargo asleep in a
shed down below Third Street North
last night about io o'clock. The snow
had drifted in across his form, but
Wargo was slumbering peacefully. He
protested with much feeling when the
policemen wakened hitn. At the sta
tion, where a charge of vagrancy was
preferred against him, a search of his
pockets revealed $iio.
In police court tliis morning Wargo
explained that he slept in the shed not
because he had to, but because he re
garded sleep in the open air more
healthful and he. enjoyed it.
He said he had been working on a
farm all summer and acquired the out
door habit. In warm weather, he said,
he slept in a hammock swung in the
trees, but in winter preferred some lit
tle shelter. As for a room with four
walls and a bed—well, not for Wargo.
He would have none of it.
Judge Gearey fined Wargo $io and
released him with a warning to be more
careful in his choice for openaif-.bid
rooms.

«0WDS SAW THE- RADIUM.
New York Press: Big crowds went
on the fourth floor of the Museum of
Natural History yesterday to look at
the two grains of radium on exhibition
there. The radium was presented by
Edward D. Adams, who furnished the
necessary funds so Prof. Charles Bas
kerville, of the University of North
Caroline, and the honorary curator pf
gems in the museum, George F. King,
might experiment with the strange sub
stance.
In the two grains are about 125
milligrams of chemical radium. It has
been used in experimenting with var
ious minerals to determine their re
flex action. Certain diamonds were,
found to reflect light after the radjfam
had been passed over them and liidjjfeh
away, while other diamonds lacked *tbe
quality.
'Hie radium was in a small glass pap-
sule 011 cotton under a glass case.^- ln
the light the yellowish powder did not
look particularly wonderful, and peo
ple said so. An attendant explained
the powers of radiufri and a patrolman'
kept the crowd moving. The radiunt
is of a quality known as "300,000 radio
activity," and is the largest single
amount of that quality in this country.
It is worth four times the first cup
quality of perfect diamonds. The two
grains are worth about $300.
Many doctors have requested the
use of the radium for experiments,
and Professor Bumpus, curator of the
museum, says it will probably be lent
for tjie furtherance of science. i

M'CLURE'S OPINION.
Minot Optic: It cannot be. idetiicd
by the best political minds in the state
of Nqrth Dakota that whatever the re
sult may be, the republican ticket is
safe.. As to who will control the re
publican party in the state during the
years that may follow is a matter ^»!f
speculation. It is recognized that t|fe
older war horses are gradually becoih
iiig weary, and it is only a question Q.{
time when they wil Hie down to pleas6
and dreams.
Alex McKenzie and Jud LaMoure,
who for a number of years have figur
ed as essential elements in the political
history of North Dakota, are surely
approaching the period where tbeir in
fluences will not be considered a po
tent factor. For more than a quarter
of a century the editor of The Optic
has upheld the policy marked out by
these gentlemen—not for pecuniary
gain, but for the reason that their
judgment has always been in accord
ance with the will of the majority'
the people. But for this laii*^ {%0h
tbeir reign would not jbave fxteiultd
from year to year. But all things in
this life pass away. McKenzie and La
MoUre will in the near future be ree
ignized as ancient land marks. Tb«il?
work will be recognized 'ais the fotfni
ers of this great state, but it remai
to other men to control it.

MIXED CHILDREN UP.

New York Mail and Express: A fam
ily living.in West Tenth Street in
cludes ej-year-old twin girls, who so
resemble each other that only, the
•mother can tell which is Katie and
which is Grace. On Saturday night, as
usual Kate was taken into the bath
room and given a thorough scrubbing.
Then her mother, after letting the child
play in the water, as a reward for good
behavior, put her 011 the rug, dried her,
powdered her and put on her nightie.
-At that moment the grocery boy came,
ajid the mother had to run down stairs
and take charge of the provisions. After
she had put everything away she came
Back, grabbed up a twin and,took her to
the bath room. The little girl ,did not
sayr.much, and after the water frolic she
scampered back to her bed room. There
whispered consultation between
ft»e twins, and they bo|li began to giggle:
"What are you youngsters laughing.
At?" asktd the mother as she cajiie jnto
Hhe room.
"Notting," they protested ^.:££•
"£ut you are," insisted th6 mdther.'1
"Teif me this instant."
"Well," said Katie, rolling about on
the' floor in merriment, "you gave me
two b^ths and didn't give sister any.'

ANETA. V^'\
Anet^ D., Dec. 12.U-T0 The Hp
rum Aneta is in the extreme south
eastern portion of Nelson County. It
is only, comparatively, a few years since
the Great Northern branch from Hope
was extended here and yet it has made
rapid strides for a terminal station, so
young in years. The station office re
ceipts last year were $141,000, exclusive
of grain shipments and this year, al
ready, the grain receipts of the five ele
vators amount to 675,000 bushels and
bids fair before the year's crop is mar*
keted to be 800,000 bushels.
The average yield of wheat is claimed
to be fifteen bushels per acre, while in
some instances thirty-four bushels per
acre is noted. Nelson County through
out, has harvested a very fair crop for
1903.
Besides a large number of 'residences
Aneta can boast of a very fair oper^
house, erected the past year by Luckasen
& Johnstone. The building is a very
creditable affair, the large ground floor
being occupied as a department store,
my the proprietors, and known as the
Aneta Hardware & Machinery Co., while
the second floor is finished up as an
operahouse. The stage and auditorium
are admirably adapted for the purpose,.
Next but not least in importance is
the newly finished Hotel Manhattan. |t
is three stories, contains forty-four
rooms, all modern in design and con
struction, steam heat, acetyline gas and
up-to-date furititUre. The ttj£t Will "ex
ceed $20,000 and when the new furni
ture is installed it will be the finest hotel
except Vajley City, west of the metrop
olis, until Bismarck is reached.
The proprietors, M. C. Balknap &
Sons., lately from western New York,
deserve great credit for their enterprise.
On account of pressure of public travel
they were compelled to make an informal
opening Dec. 1 before they were ready,
but they announced that the formal open,
ing will occur Dec. 23 at which time they
will tender the public a grand reception,
banquet and dance with Hall's Orchestra,
of Grand Forks rendering the music.
O to be young again, to enjoy the
poetry pi rythmic motion—when that
dance is on. Byron's prophetic picture
of Belgium's capital will be realized
again—"Bright the lamps will shine o'er
fair women and brave men and eyes will
look love to eyes that speak again."
The banks report, business interests
fairly sustained. J. E Fondnen (s
cashier and Karl Olson, assistant cashier
of the Farmers and Merchants Bank,
which has a capital of $10,000 and de
posits of $3S.ooo—while the Aneta State
Bank has capital surplus of $9,000 and
deposits of $40,000, the affairs of whict)
are conducted by that genial rustler,-
Taking Aneta as a center there is cer
tainly an extensive panorama to be en
joyed.
Aneta's band has the euphonious
name of the Queen City Band, and they
are credited with blowing as harmoni
ously as the real estate dealers, and item
ing more: resonant notes.
The large department stores tike
Whiddefs and the,"Aneta" know how
to advertise. It is an art.
Atto^iley Shirley arid Dr. C. E. Ben
nett, find time amid the stress of pro
fessional duties to cultivate good litera
ture. It is one of the props of progress
and every town like Aneta should foster
a good literary society* C. E. B.

LACKS DISTINCTION.
Charles Frohman, the theatrical
manager, regretfully concludes that h}S
appearance lacks distinction in gonte
way. He bases this opinion on a re
cent experience at the door of the
Broadway Theatre. "I was passing in
on my way to a rehearsal," he says,
"when a young man, evidently one df
the justly hated ticket* scalpers, touch
ed my elbow and offered me a dollar.
'Say,' he mumbled, 'do me a little fav
or, will you? Go up to the box office
and buy me two 50 cent seats for to
night.' I should not have felt so in
sulted," concluded Mr. Frohman,
"were it not that I aspire to look like
a man who might safely engage a
or at least an orchestra chair wfthd^t
exciting suspicion." 'p
