This was Olives answer, spoken in a

be questioning Claud; an instinct told
her that he had been the cause of that
mysterious grief which had shortened
Lucy's life.
As in q vision she saw once more the

Of For the Dedication,

Fargo Argus: Governor Burke left
last evening to attend the opening exer-
cises of the Worlds Fair at Chicago.
When seer at his residence last evening
by an Argus representative he stated that
although it was not to his interest to
leave the state at this time, that it would
look bad for North Dakota if it were not
represented at the greatest of all Amer
lean achievements. He looks forward
to the representations of bis state with
the greatest interest. Governor Burke
will arrive in st. Paul this morning
where he will be met at the Windsor
house by his staff. They will leave st.
Paul fer Chicago tonight in a body to
attend the exercises. Wednesday even
ing the reception ball BE given and
Thursday night they will attend the
guests banquet. The dedicatory exer-
clses take place Friday, and the party ex-
poets to return by Sunday morning.
The staff consists of DR.. barrow, sur
geon general; Col. Morton. Page, aide
decamp; Col. Perkin, of Bismarck; Col.
Meedith, of Casselton; Col. Brown. of
Grand Forks; Col. Bidlake, of Osna-
brook, and Col. Grant Hager, editor OF
the st. Thomas Times. Gov. Burke says
that he is not down for any speeches,
but it is quite probable that the dis.
tinguished representative of the No. I
hard state will be called upon during the
exercises.

further that the same is true and correct

It was the desire of his honor, the
mayor, in his address to the honorable
city council last spring to have this
report, when ready, published, in COM
pliance with the spirit of the charter
and in the interest of the public.
This report could have been made
more lengthy and detailed, but owing to
the fact of it's being published, and that
the same would cost something, it was
thought best to make such report as

throughout the state prepare. exhibits of
their work IS q share Of the state display
Is meeting with the approval of teachers.
Superintendent Ogden returned yester-
day from a trip in the eastern part of
the state, and reports an encouraging
condition Of affairs. 1t is regretted,
however, that some county superintend-
ents have neglected to forward the cir
culars prepared by the department to
their teachers, who were consequently in
ignorance of the suggested mode of pre-
pairing school display.
Organizations have been effected by
Prof. Ogden in Pembina, Walsh, Grand
Forks, Ramsey, Stutsmao and Barnes
counties, and the work will be pushed
as rapidly as is possible. Teachers
everywhere are enthusiastic and take
hold energetically. In Fargo Mr.. Ogden
met the teachers and outlined the plan
Of action, his suggestions meeting with
general approval. Once fairly under
way the school exhibit promises to form
no small part of the state display.
