A very Useful Sort Of Rat.
T,,,<l NJ


Two gentlemen sat in the Office Of the
Post for over ansshour yesterday afternoon
watching large sized rat catching fiiss In
side the windows Of building on the oppo-
site aide of Wood Street. Its dexterity and
qnickness were remarkable. After captur-
ing all the flies within its reach on one win
dow it would suddenly disappear, but i'm
mediately resppear at another. srhus it kept
up constpnt raid on the winged innocents,
seemingly making more captures than reans
of patent fly paper. The theory was that
the rodent left sort Of saliva on the glass
which attracted the flies, making them more
easily caught. After gorgipg itself it made
its way down to Virgin Alley, where it slack.
ed its thirst with copious draughts Of water
standing in the gutter.

The storm last week i'm the neip

The storm last week in the neigh.
borhood of Glyndon seems to have
been very severe. The Glyndon News
says: --latest reports of Wednesday
mornings storm are us bad as the
worst apprehension of that day, we
think. Reports from the northwest
round to the southeast are of general
destruction to crops, the proportion of
loss being put ut one.fourth to three
fourths or total. Nothing like accur.
dcy can he obtained in the chronicle.
If farmer calls his loss "half." it
may mean the half that remains is
not worth the cutting and tllreshing;
another would call such a loss total.
1t is safe to assert that for ten miles
around Glyndon, excepting the south
and west neighborhood, the standing
grain is reduced fully one half in value.
10 the north and east, this may be
true for several times ten miles. Hail
and wind were about equal in their
destructive Effects

From the Grafton News and Times
we take the following description Of a
stock farm recently established in
Walsh county. "The farm of the Stock
Breeders Association consists of about
twelve hundred acres, ard lies right in
a bend of the Red river, just north and
adjoining the township of Acton.
There is heavy belt of timber fol.
lowing the river 30 that the farm is
sheltered on the north, east, and south
sides. There is fine large meadow
of red.top grass. Mr.. D. w. Driscoll,
of this city, is the manager, and is now
having four hundred tons of hay put
up. He has two large barns, one
frame 30xl0O and a log 24.1OO now
pretty nearly completed, situated right
in the heavy timber and but short
distance from the river. The log barn
is calculated to hold eighty tons of
hay, so that in severe weather the
stock can be fed and watered without
Inconvenience Or suffering. Just south
of the barns is large granary handy
of access. The farm residence is
nearly completed and is only about
twenty-five rods from the stables.
There is q good wire fence surround.
ing seven hundred acres of the farm.
This fall the management intend
placing one hundred short horn and
other breeds of young COWS on the
place, besides large number Of hogs
and mares. 1t would seem rs if a
more desirable location for the purpose
contemplated could not have been
selected, there being plenty of
timber, water and meadow to shelter
and maintain q much larger ranch of
stock than the management contem.
plates ut present. The people of
Walsh county will take considerable
interest in watching the growth and
progress of this enterprise, as it is of
necessity more Or less experimental,
but the owners have no doubt of their
ability to convince the most skeptical
of the adaptability of this climate to
profitable stock raising. The nutri.
tiousness of our grasses has long been
conceded to be unexcelled in any
country

Educational.

The annual meeting of the North
Dakota Educational Association at Grand
Forks last week was well attended
Pembina county was represented by the
following: Supt. Jackson, j. B. Robinson,
I. N. Henry, Miss Naylor and Miss
Thacker. Able lectures and practical
discussions occupied the time of the con.
vention in which number of the leading
educators of North Dakota took part.
Superintendent Z. Z. jackson read q
paper on "Teachers' Institutes" which,
was highly spoken of by the Grand
Forks papers. Prof. Travis, formerly of
Pembina, took a prominent part in the
program. We have not space even To
summarize the proceedings and dis.
cussions. Perhaps the most important
paper read before the association was
that of Prof. Montgomery. We quote q
few extracts from his address.
He said that of the $40 so-called col.
leges and universities in the land, moi
more than ten or twelve at the most,
were worthy the name, as they were NOT
doing university work. He quoted from
Gen. John Eaton in proof of this state.
ment. While Berlin and Oxford were
better than any of the Universities on
this continent, there were some uniyer.
sites in this country better adapted to
the wants of the people than many of
those of the old world. He mentioned
the large grants made by the U. 8. gov
eminent in 1857. 1872, 1890, 1910 and
1862; in Ohio $4,000 acres of land were
set apart; in Nebraska 10000; and for
the equipment of the university Of Cali
fonia 136,027. The Cornell university
which was not strictly a'state university,
had % trustees, one in Cornell family, s
from graduates and II representing the
state. Its library contained $1,000 vol
umes, and its museum contained many
thousand specimens. Harvard had IS
teachers and 40 assistant teachers, and its
library contained 277,700 bound volumes
besides thousands of unbound volumes.
Michigan university on this side of the
Atlantic, was considered next to Berlin,
owing to being established on the same
basis. The state he said should organize,
establish and maintain the universities,
the course of study should be calm,
steady and unbiased. Let us know
what truth is, the working of such in.
situations be intelligent and uniform on
all subjects, that teachers should be
selected regardless of all things save
general merit. No religious bodies had
SPECIAL methods of teaching sciences and
teachers should not be selected from any
such considerations. The union of
religious bodies was conductive of liber-
atty and charity, and the great aim
should be the development of the peo-
pie Intellectually, morally and physical
Nv. No nation but should have the light
of knowledge. Berlin university was
regarded as the best in the world, and
following it was Michigan. Oxford and
Harvard, were not satisfactory, they
were only for the rich. Education of
the university should be of the people,
and for the people. 1t was all very we'll
for rich men if they felt SO inclined to
found institutions of this kind, but for.
the education of the masses the state
should organize and maintain such.

Louis Riel is condemned to be
executed on the 18th of September.
The defence abandoned all efforts to
clear him. from the crime charged,
basing their plea OH the theory of in.
sanity. The jury found him guilty
with a Recommendation of mercy, but
the Judge sentenced the prisoner to be
hanged. There may have been some
foundation for the plea of insanity.
Riel was q half crank before the re.
bellion. His rough experience ana
reverses from his attempt to lead a
rebellion. the ignominious failure that
followed and the suffering, grief and
loss that came to his followers, all
tended to make him melancholy and
unsettled, especially SO in view of his
natural dread Of punishment. 1t is
not likely the Dominion government
will interfere to prevent Or postpone
the execution.
