Fargo Republican: The state superin-
tendent Of public instruction is required
to prepare and prescribe a course of
study for all public schools, state normal
schools and all professional departments
of schools designated and supported
wholly or in part by the state.
In order to carry out the spirit of the
constitutional and legal requirements, a
course of study for high schools, to sup
plement that already prepared for COM
non district schools, and to lead direct
to the university and other higher in
situations, it is necessary to formulate.
To this end State Superintendent Og-
den has thought it best to call together
the leading educators of the state for the
purpose of consulting with them in re-
gard to the important matter.
The convention pursuant to announce
ment convened at the Columbia hotel at
10 o'clock Friday, and is expected

Judge Rose of Jamestown Talks
Prohibition in St. Paul with
a Reporter.
"A Correspondent of the Minneapolis
Tribune Tells a Fishy Stump
Lake Story.
The Sioux Indians are Said to be
Good SOldiers-North Dakota a
Good Country.


Pioneer Press st. Paul: James Rode
rick Rose and wife, of jamestown, N. D.,
who has been at the Clarendon several
days, returned to their western home
last evening. The judge presides over
one of the largest judicial districts in his
state, and has been taking a short vaca-
ton. He is a most c%ongenial gentle
man to meet, and in conversation with a
reporter yesterday talked quite freely of
the prohibition movement in North Da-
kota. The prohibitionists, he said, were
the only ones talking politics this sum-
mer and he would not be surprised to see
them organized a third political party in
in that state. He said he understood
that some such movement was on foot at
present. The followers of that cause
want to make themselves at least the
balance of power in the state if they can
not rule. The Judge believes that pro-
hibition in that state, all things being
considered, has proven a success. A
great many import their liquor from Min
nesota, but the law has prevented public
drinking, and has without any doubt
lessened the annual consumption of
spirituous liquors. In speaking of Sena-
tor Hansbrough, the judge expressed the
opinion that the senator was one of the
shrewdest and hardest working politician
of that state at home and at the nation's
capitol.

says au informal gathering of North Da-

in the Ebbit house lobby. 1t was de-

Indians Make Good Soldiers.

uNA"A OAhA0 0OOu SOlul0TBs
Capt. j. Halloran, formerly of Fort
Lincoln, now stationed with the Twelfth
infantry at Yates, recently narrated sew
eral incidents illustrative of the charac-
ter of the Indians who are being enlist
ed. The Sioux Indians do not take kind
~ to the infantry, and only sixteen men
have, so far, been secured for the COM
pany now being organized by Lieutenant
Hodges at Fort Yates. But those taken
give evidence Of possessing traits valua-
bic in soldiers. They obey implicitly,
even at times going beyond the strict
letter of their orders. A few weeks ago
three Of them were placed as sentinels at
the Missouri river to prevent any COM
munication between the fort and the
small town of Winona across the river,
on account Of diphtheria in the village.
They not only kept everybody from
crossing the river, but would not permit
the children at the post to play heal the
river. They guarded the passage, and
seemed to think that they were to pro-
tect the river itself. On another occa-
sion two prisoners escaped from the
guard house, and the commandant, COL
onel Drum, thinking it likely they would
attempt to steal some horses, ordered
several Indians to watch the corral. In
stead OF pacing up and down, as white
soldiers would have done under the Or
cumstances, they concealed themselves

Tho Riverside Ranch Fire,

The Mandan Pioneer in reviewing the
Riverside ranch fife says: The result
of the confagration was that all the
buildings, with the exception of the
house, the horse barn north east of the
house, and the wagon sheds, went up in
smoke. A large hay stack, the crop of
oats in the large barn, and all the build
ings except those mentioned as saved,
were speedily licked up. If it had not
been for the strenuous efforts of the men
OIL the place, and neighbors who were
attracted by the conlagration, the house,
furniture and everything of a combust-
ible character would have gone too.
The furniture was mostly removed from
the house, to save it from what was at
n time regarded as sure burning, and
much of it vas damaged by the hasty
movement to which it was subjected.

A Strange Body of Water.

Correspondence Minneapolis Journal:
In western Nelson county, about ten miles
south of Lakota, Stump lake, irregular as
a cat in a fit, spreads it's clear, unfathom-
able waters over an area of approximately
twenty square miles. A small body Of
scrub oak, interspersed with a few ash
and maple, protect the north shore. The
country surrounding is fertile and is just
now weighted down with the wealth of
wheat the recent harvest brought. All
attempts to find the bottom of Stump
lake have failed, but the most remarka-
BILE thing about it is the continual supply
OF timber it throws up. Almost daily
'one or more gigantic oaks, Shiny and
watersoaked, but unbroken and perfect
in branch, twlg, bark and root, come
floating to the surface, and are captured
by the settlers, and after a period of
seasoning makes excellent fire wood.
sufficient amount of this timber is
thus provided to supply the settlers for
a long distance with all the fuel needed.

North Dakota a Pretty Good Country.

North Dakota a Pretty Good Country.
j. R. Barker, a gentleman farmer, who
has just finished threshing the wheat on
his farm, about twenty-five miles north
east of Grand Forks, has returned to
Minneapolis, and tells the Evening Trib-
une that he is more than enthusiastic
over the immense yield of wheat in that
section. He says that the yield is run
ming all the way from twenty-seven to
thirty-seven bushels per acre, and on one
piece it went as high as forty-one bushels.
The grade is No. 1 hard and No. l north
ern, mostly the former. The price of
land there has advanced from thirty to
fifty per cent. but it is hard to get figures;
nobody wants to sell. School land is
selling at $50 an acre. Offers are made
for quarter sections of $4,000 to $4,000
with no buildings or fences. One man
on a farm Q Johnstown, threshed g.
600 bushels of No. l from seventy acres,
for which he received $4,000. They are

are high, the men getting 50 per day and

The Carleton Company at Albaugh's

The Carleton Company at Albaugh's s
That there is an uncommon interest in the en-
gagement of Carleton's Opera Company at
Albaugh's Opera House this week is con-
clusively shown by the sale Of seats. Mr.
Carleton, it is reported, is in better voice than
he has been in for several years past, and has
in the three operas he will give here his three
favorite roles in comic and romantic opera
He has sung the role of Marquis dAubique
which he created at the original production of
the opera at the New York Casino seven years
ago, over three thousand times. The members
of his company were especially engaged for
their respective roles in these three operas.
The opening opera will be "Claude Duval,' a
musical setting of the familiar stories of the
gallantry of the famous gentleman highway
man. This opera was first produced at the
Standard Theatre, New York, some ten years
ago. 1t had what at that time was an unpre-
cedented run of one hundred nights, and then
had to give way to a prearranged original pro-
duction in this country of one of Gilbert &
Sullivan's operas. The opera was written with
Mr. Carleton for the ideal Claude, and he re-
tanned 1t in his possession and did not revive it
till about two months ago. Mr.. Carleton re-
CARDS it as the best light opera he has ever sung
in, and is certain to attain a great popularity.
One feature of this engagement that will be es
pecially attractive to the Washington public is
the fact that Mr.. Carleton's Company contains
this season the very first of its favorites in
comic opera, Miss JEANNE Winston. Famous
for her portrayal of male roles, she will be seen
this time in one of the roles sung by Mr.. Garlic
ton-Cldude Duvdl. Mounted upon superb
thoroughbred charger, owned by Mr.. Carleton,
she is the central figure in most picturesque
scene. When Mr.. Carleton is the Claude she
is the CoRstdnce-the heroine Of the famous
Coranto, or dance with Duudl, as the only pay
ment OF her ransom. The greatest beauty on
the comic opera stage, Alice Vincent, sings
Constance to Miss Winston's Duyal; and other
established favorities in the company include
J: K. Murray, Charles A. Bigelow, w. H.
Fitzgerald, Walter West, Fred. Hnntley, Miles
Parker, W. R. Dixon, Clara Wisdom, Marion
Langdon, and Jennie Millard. Manor that
ever beautiful opera, and "The Queens Lace
handkerchief" masterpiece of the great king
OF the waltz, will be given in the order an

substitute should be printed, and should lie on
