NORTH Dakota At THE FAIR.

The Establishment of ii Preparatory
Worlds Columbian Exposition Course'
suggested.
l desire to suggest to the state superin-
tendent of schools of North Dakota, to the
county superintendents and teachers of
our schools, both public and private; to the
various literary circles and reading clubs
in the state, that they at once establish
what might be called a "Preparatory
Worlds Columbian Exposition Course"
Its object being to afford all opportunity
for our youth and citizens in general to es-
pecially educate and prepare themselves.
for a profitable and intelligent participa-
ton in the grand exhibition of nations
which will open for us in 1898.
Let there be a Worlds Fair class in each
department of our schools, wherein teach
erS and pupils can devote a certain amount
of time every week to the study of ancient
and modern history of the nations, and the
renowned OF past ages in their several
branches of art; the old masters, sculptors,
painters, poets, warriors, statesmen, phil
oSopherS and Swans, as they will all cOn-
front us there, a majestic yet silent throng.
Blu we shall lose much, and in many in
stances all, the pleasure and profit unless
we can listen through our eyes to the story
their very p%refence, i'll various forms, wilt
be telling us of the matchless hand thai
fashioned them or of the land that gave
them birth.
While a practical application of the
knowledge OF geography may be carried
into effect, in connection with the reading
and research, by relating the directions of
the countries under consideration, and how
they can be reached going from Chicago,an
vice versa, with a tendency to thus gradu-
ally familiarize and bring the scholars,
seemingly, nearer to the peoples and
places, by somewhat removing the vague
ness that naturally accompanies great dis
tanceS.
The inventive mind of the intelligent
teacher will enable him or her to tormu-
late a plea, and to pursue the course in a
manner best suited to meet the require.
ments and at the same time to be the most
practicable for the class in hand; and a
DDS would no doubt be advisable.
To visit every continent, and all the
islands of the seas, in their marvellous ex-
hlbltS. and | can speak from personal eX-
perlence, will severely test the ability to
comprehend and understand the bewild.
ering and wonderful display before us,
and to garner properly for future delect-
alton. ~ - .
Hence / would urge, for the benefit and
extensive education Of the people of North
Dakota and the youth, particularly, that
action be taken, to the end that all may
largely share in the pleasures and adj
vantages that will surely be derived, If
such preparations are made, even when
not personally present at the exposition.

Monday.

"The May term of this court stands ad-
journed sine die" said Chief Justice Cor
Hiss last evening, and the present session
of North DakOta's court of last resort was
a thing of the past. 1t had been expected
that the cases would require another dav,
but by hard work the calendar was cleaned
up and arguments finished.
The morning hours were devotedto Boss
VS.. Northern Pacific Railroad Co., an action
against that corporation for damages in
the Fargo yards some five years ago. Col.
Ball presented the company's side of the
First National Bank of Fargo vs. Roberts
ct al. followed and was argued and sub
mitted. Seth Newman appeared for the
bank and C.. F. Amidon handled the con-
troverSy for the respondents. This was a
very interesting case to attorneys and was
closely followed by all in the room. 1t
goes into the time, if at all, when the sure.
ty on a promiSOry note becomes liable as a
principal. In this case, as well as in the
Boss matter, Judge Wallin was disquali-
fed. and his place was taken by Judge
Winchester.
Messrs. Dodge and Amidon next pre-
sented their arguments in a certiorari
matter from Cass county. This was ar
gued at Grand Forks last October and the
Judgment of the trial court affirmed in
January. A re-argument was, however,
ordered and was heard yesterday. The
case hinges on the right Of an ex-officer to
impeach his own record, made while act.
ing judicially.
Mills VS.. Rowland from Cass county was
submitted on briefs.
Mr.. Lawrence Casselman of Bismarck
was admitted to practice.

SUPREME COURT,
Thursday.


The morning session of the court was
given up to the old, time-honored, hoary-
headed a fight between the North
ern Pacific railroad company and some
OF the counties in which that CORPORATION
has land. Ever since May, 1889, these
matters have been dragging along their
weary way and been the subject Of many
q long discussion at the court. The litiga.
ton has become quite familiar and need
not be recited at length. The company
claim they have paid all they owe and the
countess, as is natural, think the sums so
given up entirely inadequate. Col, w. F,
Ball of Fargo and Jno. S. Watson of
jamestown, represented the plaintiff: r,
Il. Copeland and Louis Hanitch appeared
for Mclean county; Judge Rice of Mandan
for Mercer county; E. W. Camp for Foster
LaMoure county submitted on briefs, The
discussion was principally confined to
what was termed the equitable phase of
the case, touching the payments heretofore
made Ut the taxes as an extinguishment of
the lien claimed. Judges Bartholomew and
Wallin did not sit in the hearing by rea-
son or having appeared as counsel in
the lower courts. Chief Justice Corliss.
Judge Mcconnell of Fargo and Judge
Winchester of Bismarck composed the
bench. The decision will be awaited with
interest.
Atter the noon recess what Attorney
Hlldreth of Fargo denominated a comedy
OF errors" was on the boards. 1t was the
case of Little VS.. Little. up from Trail
county, and was handled by Judge Levisee
and NJ. A. Hildreth for the appellant and
Cannody & Leslie in opposition. 1t is an
Old partnership fight and grows out [of an
attempt to have an accounting.

Saturday.

saturday.
The last day of the week was occupied
by the court in the hearing OF three cases.
The first one called at the morning ses-
sion was Bennett VS.. Northern Pacific rail
o company, an appeal from Stutsman
county. The plaintiff was injured while
making a coupling in the Jamestown wards
and received severe injuries. He re-
covered a verdict for $4,000 for his
accident. The case will be OF con-
siderable interest in this that it turns
somewhat on the legal construction
of an application every empIoye has to
make, wherein he expressly SAYS that he
will not hold the company responsible in
case he is injured while making couplings
contrary to the rules, which rules prescribe
that he must always use a stick.
The second matter presented was the
Plankinton Hail association mandamus
proceedings. The Encouragement seems
to rely more on questions of practice in
this thar on the merits of the controyer-
sy. He holds that it was error to bring
the suit in the name OF the state,
Messrs. Newton, Francis. Boucher and
Hanitch occupied the attention of the court
in the afternoon with the third phase of
the Braithwaite case, the appeal from the
order of Judge Winchester granting a new
trial on the grounds of newly discovered
evidence. In case the appellate court
should override Judge Winchester's deci-
sion 1t is understood the matter is atGyn
end.

Friday.
In order to accommodate foreign counsel
the case of Braithwaite vs.. Akin, ct al,
was postponed until this morning and in
lieu thereof National German-American
bank OF st. Paul VS.. Lang was called and
argued by John B. and W. H. Sanborn on
behalf OF the appellant. Leslie A. Simp-
son OF Dickinson was the attorney Of
record for the defendant, Lang, but did
not care to argue the case and was content
for the court to consider the controversy
on MI. Sanborn's brief alone.
Dunstan vs.. Northern Pacific railroad
company followed and was presented by
5. l.. Glaspell for lthe appellant-Dunstan
and joni s. Watson on behalf OF the
company. This is an ejectment suit to
obtain possession of a strip of land near
jamestown now occupied as the right-of-
way by the jamestown & Northern road
which Dunstan claims has never been prop
erly acquired by the company. 1t was
argued and submitted.

THE PUBLIC BUILDING.

AS To Location.
To the Tobacco Leaf Chronicle.l

To the Tobacco Leaf-Chronicle.l
In view of the selection of a place
to build the new postoffice, beg to
make few suggestions. AS all gov
eminent buildings have to conform
to regular law as to location, that
is, it must be on a lot sufficiently
large to admit OF it being built forty
feet from any other building, and as
the architecture of such buildings is
Of an ornamental character, it should
be located to show to the best advan-
age, and that place is on the ground
new occupied by the old bank build
ings fronting on the Public Square
and Spring street, which will COM
ply with the requirements of law,
With fine front on Spring street as
well as on the Square. What a heau-
tiful view it would give from the
railroad and river to the travelling
public passing through the city, as
it cannot be seen from any other di-
ton to any advantage. This build

change, our river front would show
us up to the outside world as a place
of some attraction. Memphis lOcl-
ted its fine custom house on the river
bluff to be viewed from the Mississ-
ippi river and the shores of Arkan-
sas and its new, magnificent railroad
bridge. Clarksville'S new postoffice
building if located as above, would
command a similar view from the
placid waters of the now famous
Cumberland and the railroad bridge.
With the market house moved off
the square more ornamental build
ings would be built in that locality
and business would again return to
1t. And as the postoffiCe and the
business portion Of the city ought to
be close together, to separate them
would be great inconvenience to
the public. Therefore tear down
those four buildings between Frank

vile and erect your beautiful post

Obituary.
IN MEMORY OF JULIAN.


"God has taken His own to His bosom again
Whom, a while, as blessing to earth He
had sent.
Let us bow to His will, nor presume to COM
plain
Chat again He demands what He only had
lent"
Died, of pneumonia, at Princeton,
KY, March 10, 1891, j lIian Laurie
Watson, aged eighteen months.
Only one week of pain and suffer
ing and the sweet baby boy so gently
and peacefully breathed out his fine
young life that the friends who stood
by the bedside scarcely perceived the
change, which came just as the last
rays Of IA bright sunset were gliding
the faces of the anxious watchers.
God, i'll answer to pray er, caused
the last moments to be free from
pain, and those who, with mortal
sight, watched the quiet fading OF
the unblemished life here, can look
heavenWard through eyes of faith
and view the glorious dawning OF
the same life on the other shore,
within the walls of that Celestial
City.
In our hearts we are prone to ques-
ton why Julian was sent just eigh-
teen brief months to gladden. his
parents hearts and then, "Like the
brightest buds Of summer" drop from
the stem, but we know that it was
the wisdom of a benignant ProVi
Ience, and
Perhaps, as we sit at the Masters feet
In that happy bye and bye,
We shall see things as we cannot now;
Perhaps we shall then know why"
Each soul must drink some bitter
ness from the cup of life and it is
sent as a refining fire to remove the
dross and make our hearts go out in a
fuller and nobler sympathy with
those whose troubles fail under our
notice.
No heart is July capacitated for
genuine sympathy and compassion
until it has stood the test of affiiCtiOn.
So each life has its own imperative
mission and we will doubtless see the
good of his life in the widening
lives of others and hope that it ma!
cause many to reflect ard seek the
peace that passeth understanding.
Fond parents pictured noble am
generous manhood for their loved
one, but God decreed otherwise, and
while they say "Thy will be done"
and bow their heads in humble sub
mission, how consoling to know that
ere long the golden liks of life which
are rudely severed here by the re
lentless hand of death, will hesWeetlN
reunited at the beautiful gate beyonu
the tide, where pain, anguish auo
death are forever banished, AND
where we shall eternally bask in the
presence OF God and walk the gold
paved streets of the New Jerusalem
with Christ our Savior!

A negro was seen on the river this
morning catching driftwood. He
was armed with a long pole and a
lettering canoe and had succeeded in
catching just as much as his craft
wouldscarry. He was in mid-stream
and had just started to the bank
when he saw nice cedar post float
ing by. He made grab at it and
capsized his craft, but he straddled
that cedar post and rode it safely TO
shore. Some one asked him
why he turned the canoe aloose and
caught the post. He spit the water
out of his mouth and suffered:
