The Hateful words had been spoken.
They were spoken by the officiating
clergyman
He had pronounced George Fergu-
son and Laura Kajones husband and
wife.
For eight years George Ferguson had
waited for this young woman with all
the patience at his command. His
stock Of patience on hand was very
small, and he had been able to command
still less.
Perhaps he was not a good comman-
der. But let that pass
They were Mr.. and Mrs. Ferguson
now, and had started on their wedding
tour. Seated side by side in a palatial
parlor coach Of the Blank. Dash and So
forth Railway, they. were speeding east
ward at the rate of umpty miles an hour
including stops. and large and gen
erous smile spread itself over George
countenance and warmed the atmos-
phere all about him.
Laura" he said, my darling! 1T
Il wish you had on a darker necktie,
George. That lavender affair is at
tracing the attention OF the other pas
engers.
Hang the necktie! Let it attract!
I'd just as lief they knew the whole
story, and have a great mind to tell
them, anyway, how for eight weary
years you kept the faithfulest lover on
earth dangling at your heels

4 New Institution for Jamestown.

Steps we're taken Thursday to organize
mutual fire insurance company for the
state of North Dakota to take farm risks
and all detached property. The COM
pany will be known as the North Da-
kota Mutual Fire Insurance company,
with headquarters at Jamestown.
Among those present today and the
prime movers IN the project are the
Alliance Hail Insurance directors.
The meeting today was participated in
by number OF farmers of this and ad-
joining counties. A constitution was
adopted today and provisional directors
elected.
Under the new insurance law S2OO, 900

tore company can begin business and
it is thought no difficulty will be had to

FL0UR|SHING.
The State Agricultural College.
Increase of Students
Good Work Done,

Ex-senator Casey member of the Agri-
cultural College Board attended meet
ing of the same Wednesday. Speaking of
the institution be says:
THE Agricultural College is dong
nicely. When the present board assumed
its duties last spring there were but
tWenty-seven students in attendance;
now there are one hundred and fifty on
the roll and the number daily increasing.
This large attendance does not seem to
be the result of any embarrassment of the
other state educational institutions from
lack OF appropriations, for they have no
lack OF students. 1t seems rather the
result of a general awakening on the
subject OF education on the part OF the
young men and women of the state, and
an aroused interest in the Agricultural
College.
The advantages Of this college have
been very 1mperfectly understood, and
as they are explained its patronage IN
creases.
Tho utmost harmony prevails among
the college officers and faculty and great
credit is due them for the success the
college has attained. The facilities are
already below the necessities of the 1n-
stltutlon. Every room available IN the
boys dormitory has from two to three
occupats. and even the farm house has
been utilized to accommodate q dozen
students.
A large house has been rented in the
north part of town for ladies' dormitory
which is we'll filed. The class rooms are
also overcrowded and the chapel and
presidents Office are converted into reci-
tation rooms.
As the federal appropriation cannot be
used for fuel, light, repairs or improve
ments OF any kind, or for sny ordinary
expenses and the state appropriation is
only $4,000 year, the most rigid econ
omy will hardly see the college through
on account of the increased expenditure
necessarily incident to the largely in
creased attendance.
