Trn bshaw and Miss Maude, the Courier scribe started for Bismarck to attend the press meeting, and as luck would have it we made con nections at Sanborn and boarded the coast train, where we found that tbe accommodating officials of the Northern Pacific had pro vided a special coach for I he use of the editors, a favor highly ap preciated by the boys. Arriving at Bismarck about .10:30 u. in., in company with sixty-five other editors and many of their wives, together with about a hundred or to other people, with sill he hotels full, it. wHsnotupleasart prospect ahead, and just as we wet head ing for the hotel with a view to ••sitting up" until broad daylight we espied the tail and elastic fig ure of Lieut.-Go v. Bartlett head ed towai ds us. and thanks to his kindness were soon driven to a very cosy room away from the turmoil of the city, which he in formed us belonged to Messrs. A. M. Baldwin and B. G. Shaw, wh» had kindly doubled up wit others to accommodate us. We had been provided wilh a board ing place at he »aine house with Senator Cooper and wife and the other Cooperstown frier,ds and again received many courtesies thus bein* well fixed for seeing the sights and enjoying the capi tal city. T.iesday we attended the press meeting and listened to some excellent papers in the morning. In the afternoon we went on special train to visit the coal mines at Wilton and was well re paid for the visit. Wednesday morning we again listened to pa pers by the different editors and along about noon were hustled into hacks and were taken to the penitentiary, something we never thought vould happen to North Dakota editors, but even the best people get to that place occasionally. The prime object of this visit was to view the new twine plant built by the state 'Vhich was in full operation. It is indeed a fine plant and the institution turns out first class twine. It is hoped that the state will be able to make this instil u tion pay which it has not done yet on account of the high price of the raw material. Warden Boucher personally took charge of the party and showed up everytning to be seen of interest, The peuitentiary is a model in Stitution. well managed and well kept. The convicts, under the direction of the warden, have built a fine brick warden's resi dence and are now working on a wall to be built around the insti tution, 28 feet high, which will keep the cold out and the convicts in. The warden let us out after awhile and while we enjoyed the visit we have no hankering to make that institution a per man ont residence. In the afternoon we visited '"the circus on the hill," commonly known as the legislature. With somewhat of a timid feeling we approached the folding doors of the senate cham ber but before we knew where Vie where at the tall commanding figure of the sergeant-at-arms, CoL Brown, resplendant in brass buttons, etc., grabbed us by the ftrm and kindly piloted us to •eat within the sacred precincts Of the senate chamber. Seaator Cooper kindly had the senate vote us the privilege of the floor and we commenced to feel at home. Later Lieut.-Gov. Bartlett invited us to sit with him on the president's rostrum and we confess to feeling a han kering to get into the game but this feeling crept away as we no ticed the hum-drum life of a sen ator, bullied and badgered by all kinds of people wanting bills passed and appropriations made. We had intended asking for an appropriation for our ball team but our nerve failed when we heard of he heavy appropriation wanted for our state institutions. M- Bartlett makes an ideal pre siding officer and his excellent knowledge of parliamentary law enables him to keep business booming and going along smooth ly. We also visited the house and were granted floor privileges there. Messrs. Cassell and Winslow were in their seats at tending to business and are do ing good work. Both branches of the legislature are well sup plied with help so that there is no fear of anything being left un done—if the employes work. There are about 150 of these. Wednesday night Mayor Pat terson aud wife tendered the editors aud wives a reception and ball which was a swell affair, of course. In addition to the editors and wives being present, there were other persons of minor im portance invited such as the gov ernor and stateoffipers and mem bers of the legislature. The printers of Bismarck also gave a ball in honor of the press asso ciation. This cai/e a lit tie high but if you want a touch of high life you must not miud that. Thursday afternoon from 4106 Governor and Mrs. White held an informal reception for the editors and their wives which was generally attended and a pleasant visit enjoyed with our popular governor and his estim able wife. in com-lr sion we desire to say that the Bismarck people did ail fiev could to make it pleasant for "the boys" much of the credit being due to Editor Jewell, Sen ator Little, El H. Walker, of the Washburn road, and others. It was the most largely atfended and successful press meeting held in the state. ., ON WOMAN. E H. Kent—Woman is a mas ter piece.
