gument

Two Commercial Hen After Heated Ar.
Two strangers. presumably travel
ing men, walked into Rock Island
depot this morning, and attracted con-
siderable attention by the animated
conversation they were having.
Each carried sample case; one was
young, well-dressed fellow, while
the other presented a more ad-
vanced appearance. The former
purchased q ticket, and started to
board the train. being followed by
his elder friend, who had procured
no destination pasteboard. Evident
" he had not the wherewith and was
upbraiding his friend for refusing to
loan him the amount necessary to
get passage on the vanished cars.
The young fellow tried to explain
his situation-he was also broke.
But the old gentleman did not be-
lieve it, followed him into the coach,
and laid it down to him in pretty
strong language. tanning his probo-
els with his closed fist. They came
out on the platform.
Remember" exclaimed the old
gentleman. ..you will yet rue the day
when you left me in this lurch."
With that they shook hands and
parted, misfortune dividing their
companionship. which probably had
existed for many years.

Over year ago Queen Victoria gays

strued into an assurance that the prac

should cease, and preparations were, in
fact, made to abolish the ancient insti-
tuition known as the royal buckhoundk
It is now alleged that the queen merely
promised to have inquiries made. and
that the result thereof satisfied her that
the sport involved no more cruelty to
animals than fox hunting. The result
is that tame deer marrying. miscalled
hunting, is again in full swing, and the
newspapers are recording, a. Of old. the

Columbian Uaiyersity's Dental Grad :
atin9 Glass of '95.
Interesting Features of the Com
mencement-Dr. william s. Gas
ton, of Ohio, Winner of the
Record Prize.

Colum bian University's 1895 class of
fifteen dental graduates was the recipient
of the customary commencement honors
last evening at Metzerott Hall, and the
individual members, with blushing honors
meekly borne, were started upon the
roae to professional fame under very favor
able and flattering auspices.
The inclemency of the weather did not
interfere with the attendance of their
friends, the hall being filled to the ut
most of it's seating capacity with an audi
ence that was evidently in hearty SYM
pathy with the aspiring young graduates
and solicitous for their future welfare.
They had the presence also Of Presi-
dent Green and others on the roll of uni
versity professors, besides the dental
faculty; there was inspiring music by
Prof Weber's orchestra, wealth of
floral and evergreen decorations, while
above their heads was the Columbian ban
ner prettiy arranged OF flowers in the
colors of the alma mater, blue and gold.
The exercises were brief including the
musical features prayer by DR.. Randolph
II McKinl, an address, and the comforting
of the eSegrees by DR.. Green, an address
teeming with sage counsel to the class, by
Prof H. B. Noble, D. D. s. appropriate
words OF parting, ''haiI and farewell by
the yaledictoriau, Henry Knowles, ID ID. s.,
and the award of the prize to that graduate
who had made the best record.
The latter feature possessed great deal
OF interest to the class members, since the
name of the winner was not previously
given out. Those only who had taken
full course of three years were eligible
to the competitive list, aud that one who
came nearest to the perfect record was TO
get the premium. The highest possible
mark was 120.
Dr. William s. CASTOR, an 'Ohio boy, !"
was declared to be the winner, be having
made record of ITO, and amidst the
plaudits of his associates aud the vast au-
dience, he meekly stood up and received the
prize, $50 in cash. Robert z. l.. Hackney,
of Virginia, with 102 TO his credit, got
honorable mention and great deal OF ap-
plause.
The graduates represented respectively,
| Texas, Maine, Ohio, Ontario, Virginia,
California, Maryland, New York, Georgia,
the District OF Columbia and the United
| States OF Colombia. Their names are:
| Don Fernando Aguilera, Joseph Cohen,
| James White Davis, William S. Gustin,
William Hislop, Robert E. L. Hackney,
Eugene l.. LIE Merle, j. E. Keene, Henry
| Knowles, Charles W. Orr, VIII X. Petty,
Harry D. Parsons, William H. Trail,
| Israel G. WarfIeld and Ernest @. Varela.
| Graduates and the officiating members
| of the faculty received huge bouquets of
rare roses, some of the bearers of diplomas
| being pretty nearly buried beneath the
| fragrant offerings.

Thu Higher Court.

Judges Wallin and Corliss arrive
in the city Thursday and will be here
for some time, in consultation and
review of the cases which were heard at
the term at Grand Forks, preparatory to
rendering their opinions and decisions
in the matter. There were about thirty
cases argued before the court, and their
disposition will involve a period of hard
work on the part of the judges. Then,
too, there are a couple of important
cases yet to be heard, one Of them beng
the Hepke case, which will be argued be-
fore the court IN chambers by Attorney
Spooner Of Minneapolis, who. it IS under
stood, will make a very exhaustive argu-
ment of the points involved.
The term of court at Grand Forks is
notable as it will be the last one to be
held away from the capital city, unless
the codes are amended in future. The
codes provide that all terms of thelcourt
shall be held in Bismarck. This is done
because the records of the court are all
kept at Bismarck, and their moving
from place to place is not a desirable
feature of the holding of court at differ
ent places in the state. Then, too, the
state law library is convenient Of access
at Bismarck only, and the capitol is by
all means the logical place for the hold
ing of terms of the court.
Clerk Hoskins reports the term just
finished at Grand Forks one of the most
important and interesting yet held, and
exceeding allsprevious terms in attend
ance of attorneys and interest in the
legal questions raised.

Examined for Insanity,


Frank r. Simons, the former postmas-
ter at Wogansport, who has been in
Fargo for the past week, to appear in
United States court, upon the charge of
embezzlement of postofice funds, will
be examined for insanity. Judge Thomas
will probably appoint a committee to ex.
anime Simons, and if he is found to be
insane he will be taken to the govern
ment insane asylum at Washington.
There is not much doubt on the part
of those who made the arrest of Simons
that he is mentally unbalanced. He did
not appear to realize that he had done
anthing wrong in misappropriating
$500 in funds, and when asked where the
money was, showed up a pocket book
with a rs cent piece and a nickel in it.
He did not know where the rest of the
money had gone, and did not seem to
care. He took more interest in hypno-
tism and ~clairvoyancy than he did in
the sordid details Of postofice work.
oAAOo Lao oAAOouS ~ LOB OC0u 1obl uou
that Simons was in the habit of sending
off large consignment of postage stamps
to pay for purchases which he made in
east. He bought all kinds of useless
traps ana contrivances, which are now
lying about his house at Wogansport.
He also had letters and bill heads
printed, and it is said that after he was
in Jail here, charged with embezzling
funds from the school district of which
he was treasurer, and was discharged, he
sent down to the other prisoners a good
sized consignment OF stamped envelopes
from the Wogansport postofice, for them
to do their correspondence with. He
was disposed to be very liberal with
Uncle Sans property, and of course,

A New Platform.

The Northern Pacific has decided upon
one of a number of needed improvements
IN the city, in the shape of a new plat
form at the depot. The old one is a
rickety affair, the planks are worn and
loose, and it abouuds in insecure places
which have needed repair for some
time. The road will repair these evils
by putting in entire new planking and
supports, and the lumber therefor is
piled at the depot now The work will
begin as oon as the force Of carpenters
finish some other work they have in
hand. .-.
Another pieos of work which is to be
lone this fall is the putting of a new
roof on the freight warehouse. The old
one has been there since the place was
first builded, and it's extreme age is at.
tested by innumerable apertures and
crevices through which daylight is al
ways visible from the inside. The put
ting Of a new roof on the warehouse
will render.i it it serviceable until that
new road comes in from the south,
when the old buildings will be removed,
and q union depot and warehouse erected.
A steel gang was at work in the yards
Friday, picking up old rails, and making
improvements along the roadway. They
have been working along the line be.
tween here and Jamestown for some
time. putting down new rails, and get
ting the track into shape for winter,
