Favorable votes on woman suffrage propositions were reported the past month in one or both branches of the legislatures of Nevada, Wisconsin, Il linois. Nebraska and Maine. Whatever one may think of the re sults to be gained by this revolutionary change, it is certain enough that wom en will get the ballot when they ask for it. The equal partnership of woman in American life is now firmly estab lished. The word "obey" occasionally is left in the marriage service, out of deference to tmdition. This is per fectly safe on the part of the woman, as the number of men who issue any commands nowadays is pretty near to zero. If they did issue them, they would not dare happen around to see if their orders were being obeyed. So when woman knocks at the door of political activity, she will find that all she has to do is to open it, just as she has knocked at and opened all industrial doors that have interested her. The great bulk of womankind re mains indifferent to suffrage. The us ual experiences of their husbands in being flattened tinder the political steam roller do not make this field of activity look very inviting. Mr. Taft tells the troops not to cross the line, but to stop bullets com ing over. It looks as if Uncle Sam would get no one to weed his vegetable garden until he gets a fence around his back yard. Wc never knew why the hens laid colored eggs at Easter, but naturally their internal arrangements must be wholly upset by seeing the Strang headgear the women put on tnen for the first time. These legal delays—five years on the "Standard Oil case—have discouraged us from asking an injunction against •our neighbor's hens. We have decided instead to get some of our own to pick up a living on the next lots. Everyone is asking why Ambassador Hill resigned. Perhaps Re is .tiffed of having American tourists ask him to go down to the station and help get their luggage off. The House has voted 2!Hi to lb for popular election of senators, but the noise made by small boys playing out side the windows never bothers our augnst solons. The new Girl Guides organization have to wear khaki, but if it is proper: ly hobbled so that they can't do much guiding, they will put up with the ugly material. Pennsylvania has passed a law against immoral shows, but it remains to be seen if the actresses' can survive it they have to wear the same amount cf clothes as other people. Someone having forgotten to get a supply of tobacco for a Norwegian ship just arrived at Boston, the crew chewed leather. These men now knew what boarding house life is. Alter talking fifteen years about the cruelty of the steam roller, the change in point of view of the Democrats is much like that of the pedestrian when he gets his first automobile. Just as the small boy likes to gei behind a sedate citizen before firing rock.-, so the Mexican insurrectos are careful to back tip to the United States line before letting off their guns. Must of the girls who sing, "Put on your old gray bonnet" so lustily, would stay in doors rather than walk down town in a last year's hat. The, principal result of the closing of most of the post offices Sunday is that Young .America and Sweet Sixteen have to find a new trysting place. After a careful study of the Easter gowns, they seem less fitted than ever for a woman to wear while cooking a Sundav dinner. Jack Johnson got out of jail in Frisco on his sentence for auto speeding, and conservative citizens will now stick closelv to the sidewalk. Tests show that aviators «could not safely get within WOO yards of a bat tle ship. This would not bother the aviators an v. With the D. A. Rters meeting at Washington, the war correspondents had to hurry back from Mexico quick. I Amusements GRANP Everyone of the hundreds present at1 the Grand last night, are out today singing their praises of the exceedingly fit^e show, that they had the pleasure of seeing at this popular amusement dispensary. It is not only one of the best of this season, but one of the best if many seasons. The Three Robisons, "Two Boys and a Blonde," were a great hit last night, A in mature musical comedy of the highest order is the best description of their act that we can offer. Their harmony singing is most excellent and their comedy of that clean, wholesome kind that appeals to everyone. Martyne & Hardy were also most heartily received last night. Their comedy is irresistible, their singing very pleasing, and their character changing exceptionally good. Mr. Martyne's quick change from blackface to white, is deserving of special men tion. Miss Nelson pleased with her pic torial melody, and the photoplays are exceptionally fine, "The Color Ser geant's Horse," being one of the few photoplays that excite an audience to applause. You'can't afford to let this show get away without seeing it. ORPHEUM Even with all the counter attractions that weTe on the boards last night, a good crowd was in attendance at the popular theater. Austin and Carvin have- a classy dancing act in which they have the quality. I Joe Golden sure proved a clever en tertainer, and is one of the best ever seen here in his line of work. The new illustrated song by Miss Degnan was well received and the photoplays are always the best as shown by the Orpheum. WILL BOOST FOR SANGER. E. D. Case Has Great Faith in Slope Country. E. D. Case formerly of Stanton but now located at Sanger was in the city today looking after business interests. Mr. Case was formerly a resident of Stanton in Oliver county but is owner of considerable land near Sanger. Sanger is on the new line of the N. P. in Morton county and is the present terminus of the line. There are a number of industries established there alrcdy and more are promised as soon as the trains are running reg ularly. There is an abundance of good land in the vicinity of Sanger and the good points of the •rict will be told to the world during the present sea- WHO HAS THEM? Watch for answer in ad 10. MINSTREL SHOW WAS1 A DECIDED SUCCESS NEAT SUM WAS RAISED TO BE USED IN BEAUTIFYING CUSTER PARK Novel Features and Many Surpises were Sprung all Through Evening'* Entertainment. The Commercial Club Minstrel show which was staged at the Bijou theatre Thursday evening for the purpose of raising funds to be used in beuatifying Custer Park in the western section of the city, was a decided success and netted a neat sum to be used by the ladies of the» Civic Improvement league for this purpose. Munger's orchestra furnished the music for the, evening and was consid erably augmented for the occassion. The music was splendid and was a fitting accompaniment to the evenings performance. Mrs. Leonard officiated at th% piano as accompanist, and her untiring efforts not only during the performance but through all rehears als were highly appreciated by the company. The stage decorations and special electrical effects were very beautiful and Messrs Call and Weiser are to be congratulated upon the results of their labors. That the production it self made a hit with the large and appreciative audience"' was clearly shown by the handsome boquets which were sent to the stage by warm friends of some of the members of the troupe. The first part of the production con sisted of the opening and closing choruses, a number of solos, jokes galore, and the usual attributes of clean cut minstrelsy. Messrs Best, Chase, Shepard, Vandever, Russ and Humphreys and the Commercial Club quartette were on the bill for special numbers and all were obliged to re spond to encores. During the closing chorus, just before' the curtain went down the color guard from Fort Lin coln appeared on the stage with "Old Glory" and the audience cheered the very pleasing spectacle which was pre esnted. The olio was one of the best that has ever been presented in the city during any minstrel production here. James W. Foley kept the audience in' constant laughter during the first part of his monologue and later in some. of his poems, changed from humor to pathos. I Lieut. Oscar Westover was in from! Fort Lincoln and gave an athletic' exhibition on the parallel ba^s. He' performed many difficult feats with such a degree of ease and smoothness that most of he audience did not ap preciate he result of his effors at their full worth. It was one of the best exhibitions of its kind that has ever been seen in Bismarck. Mr. Shepard in a characterizatiin of a down east rube. Mssrs. Copelin and Russ in a travesty on Carmen, and Mr. Welch as the sergeant of police in the policeman's ohorus and ensembled were all good and were warmly applauded. There was genu ine regret when the curtain went down that the evening's entertain ment was over. Much of the success of the enter tainment was the result of the admir able management and leadership of F. E. Shepard, who has been active in the preparations. SCHOOL LANDS WERE NOT IN GREAT DEMAND ONLY- FEW FARMERS IN FROM COUNTRY TO SECURE HAY AND GARZING LAND." Other Farmers May Lease Land Until the First of August if they Make Application for same. Thursday afternoon there were a few farmers in the city who called at the court house for the purpose ot leasing the school lands in the county for grazing purposes and for raising hay during the coming season. There were only six parcels of land leased and this, was the smallest amount in years. It is thought that perhaps the lack of ready money among most of the farmers may have cut down the number who desired the lands. Those who appeared and leased tracts of the school lands were: John Hruby of Wilton. Oscar Erickson of Wilton. J. M. Thompson of Wilton. ft F. Palsey of Driscoll. John Hooper of Baldwin. John "Hooper of Baldwin. Ray Sandry of Sterling. .In case there are any other resi dents of the bounty who desire to lease some of the land for the pur* poses mentioned they will have the opportunity of doing so between now and the first of August if they make written application for the same.

Frank Stutz is recovering from self inflicted wounds at one of the local hospitals and an attempt at suicide will probably be a failure.' Stutz has' been in the city for several weeks and does not claim any particular place as his home.' He had been in the hos pital for three or four weeks and seemed to be acting queerly. He went into the toilet room Wednesday and jabbed a pen knife into his throat, but was discovered shortly after that by one of the attendants. He was immediately given medical attention and it is thought that he will recover in a short time. Car of Choice Potatoes For Sale, on Soo Track. Call or Write. S. B. SYLVESTER.
