postmaster of Hull, N. d., charged with
pllfering and embezzling from letters
intended to be conveyed through the
United States mails, was concluded to-
day. The prosecution, conducted by
United States District Attorney L. w.

tlmony. Commissioner Allin decided
that there was sufficient evidence to hold
the defendant, anu he was bound over,

mitted to Jail.
Casselton Reporter: The question of
electric lights in Casselton is being agi-
tated, and the scheme bids fair TO result
successfully. Already over two hundred
lights have been spoken for, and it is be-
lleved that at least three hundred can
bs safely counted on for a starter. An
effort will be made to organize a local
company, and if this cannot be done
negotiations will be opened with out
side parties. The Reporter hopes to see
success crown the efforts of those who
are interesting themselves in this mat
ter. Hundreds of towns throughout the
country much smaller than this are sup
Piled with electric lights, and there is no
apparent reason why Casselton should
take a back seat.
jamestown Alert: The lecture of
State superintendent Ogden last even
ing, at the court house, was most in
teresting and instructive, inasmuch as it
set before the audience all the workings
OF the office of the department of educa-
ton. At the close of the superintend-
u t address, a resolution was pro-
posed by Il. S. Russell, and seconded
and adopted by the audience, to the
effect that the citizens of jamestown en-
dorse the course of the state superin
tendent in the conduct of his office. and
express the wish that the educational
affairs of our state may long remain I'M
der his control. The superintendent
stated that in his opinion the printing of
school blanks should be done by each
county, if the same uniformity and
cheapness could be secured, as by the
present system. The new plan under
which the institute is working is proving
very attractive to the teachers. It con-
slsts in practical school work; the forma-
lion OF b teachers present into a model
school, where instruction is given after
the most approved manner, as a sample
to the teachers of how every day school
work should be conducted.
Grand Forks Herald: The fremens'
tournament committee met in E. J. Ian.
der's office Wednesday night to discuss
matters of importance relating to the
tournament. The committee which has
the decorations in charge reported that
the approximate cost of erecting an arch
at Third street and DeMers avenue had
been ascertained and were instructed to
make arrangements to put it up. A
number of electric lights will be used to
illuminate the arch during the entire
nights of the tournament. Estimates
were made for the amount of none
necessary in the different departments,
and the committees were allowed these
sums to complete the arrangements for
the occasion. The question of having a
trades procession .was agitated, and it
was decided to appeal to the merchants
to furnish floats for the event. 1t is es-
timated that fully 10000 strangers will
be in town during the tournament and
every arrangement is being made for
their comfort. The bands which will
be here will be a decided feature. There
vii! be at least six of these organizations
in the city to give tone to the tourna-
ment. The committee adjourned to meet
at the call of the president.
