COURSE OF STUDY POPULAR.
New Course is Improvement Over
OId-AttendanCe in high
School.

The high school is now attended by
the largest number of pupils in the
history of the institution. There are
now eighty pupils in attendance. OF
this number 35 are boys. A new course
Of study was introduced in the high
school this year and it has given a great
impetus to the work. Pupils work
work with much more interest than
they have ever before. German is one
of the new studies introduced, and so
pupils are pursuing the study of the,
language.
Rev. NJ. G. Miller talked to the high
school pupils and also the 7th and
8th grade pupils regarding his trip to
British Columbia. The physical feat
ures and great resources Of gold, silver
and lead were wildly portrayed by the
gifted speaker. Mr.. Miller gave very
thrilling account Of his ascent Of Mt.
Nebo. The talk was highly appreci-
ated by teachers as we'll as pupils.
All the departments of the schools
of the city are progressing satisfac-
torily, although some rooms are
crowded. Some Of the pupils will
probably be transferred and the diff
Guilty adjusted thereby. No extra
teachers will be employed.

Oakes Sugar Factory.

Minneapolis Journal: Senator"Iom
Marshall, of Oakes. is in the city today
on a matter of vital Importance to his
home town. Mr.. Marshall has long
had an idea that OakeS is the proper
place in North Dakota for the estab-
lshment of a great beet sugar plant,
and his business in Minneapolis today
is to confer with certain eastern cap
italists who are here for that purpose,
having come on from New York eX-
pressly to investigate things.
Mr.. Marshall and the gentlemen il
terested with him in the new enter
prise were somewhat reticent regard
ing their plans, but they admitted
that it was their intention to install a
plant at OakeS if certain matters could
be arranged 1t is big undertaking,
and there are good many things to
be considered. but North Dakota
needs sugar beet factory, and they
think Oakes is good place for it.

these were shown the improved kinds
which had been made by hybridizing
or selecting as the case happened to
be. The samples were shown both in
the full straw and the grain in bags.
Professor Shepperd, agriculturalist

satisfaction at the results, as the COM

English wheat breeders must have
been heavy, and also our own states.

FATALLY SHOT HIS COUSIN.
Pat Callahan Shoots His Cousin, Ed.
CalIahan-latter Will Die.

A dispatch from Enderlin says: This
little city was thrown into great eX-
citement Monday as the result of a
shooting which may prove fatal. 1t
has been known for some little time
that Pat and Ed. Callahan, cousins,
were not enjoying that degree of love
for each other which those of kin should
possess-and the elimination came
when Pat Callahan, who is chief en-
gineer of liquid refreshment resort
in this city, shot Ed. Callahan twice,
both bullets entering the back, one Of
which penetrated the lung; the other
has not been located as yet. The
wounded man is lying at the point of
death.
The shooting took place in front of
Pats place Of business and is said to
have been caused by jealousy on the
part of Pat, who has a rather comely
wife upon whom Ed. is said to have
looked with favor. Pat has been ar
rested and is in custody of the sheriff.
At a late hour the wounded man was
very low.

The Soldier Won Out.

A dispatch from Devils Lake says:
Notice of very important land
decision made by the commis-
sioner of the general land Office at
Washington reached the local land
office today. 1t was in the matter Of
the final proof of the homestead Of
Phil II. Shortt, editor and proprietor
of the Devils Lake News. Mr.. Shortt
filed on the claim in question about
the time he enlisted for service in the
Philippines and on June l6. 1898, con-
gress passed an act which held in SUBJ
stance that the time of service of VOL
unteerS in the late war should be con-
strued to be equivalent to all intents
and and purposes to residence and cul-
tivation for the length of time of SER
vice and that the time of service should
be credited to volunteer hOmesteader
in figuring up the time of bis resi-
dence. Mr.. Shortt settled upon the
land in question on April 25, 1898. Al
terwards, on May 3, 1898, he filed on
the land, and was honorably discharged
at Manila on July 20, 1899. He sub
mitted proof on Jan. Is, 1900, holding
that his IA months service in the army
was all that was required of him, not
withStanding that he had no house OR
the land. The local officers rejected
the proof to make test case. Attor-
ney John w. Maher appealed to the
commissioner, who allows the final
proof of Mr.. Shortt and gives him the
the land. This decision is of great i'm
portance and will be received with
great pleasure by a great many volun-
teer soldiers throughout the north

He is for Bryan.

Editor Alert: The campaign liar
has even reached the berg of Spirit
wood. In their desperation the re
publican politicians resort to all sorts
Of ''ways that are dark and tricks that
are vain." beg leave to say to my
republican friends who are so Studi-
ously circulating the report that Bry-
ans Fargo speech had turned me
from Bryan to Mckinley, they can
better use their breath in some more
worthy object. ....
AS an old Lincoln republican l will
give them ten reasons why all who
seek true republican principles should
vote for Mr.. Bryan:
lst. Bryan is an honest man and SO
acknowledged by his most bitter op-
ponents.
I'd. He is a thorough temperance
man and strict observer of the Chris
tian Sabbath.
Sd. He is independent and not con-
trolled by any man or combination of
men.
4th. He puts the imam above the
the dollar"
5th. He is opposed to imperialism
or acquiring territory by force.
9Th. He is opposed to a large stand
ing army in time of peace.
7th. He is opposed to an excessive
tax on the necessities of life.
Sth. He is in favor of an income
tax so that wealth may bear proper
tional amount of taxation.
9th. He is opposed to the method
Of the enforcement of injunctions in
our federal courts.
10th. He is in favor of administer
ing the government according to the
principles of the Declaration of lnde-
pendence and the constitution OF the
United States.
Now if what our prohi friends
and the Methodist church attest is
true Of Mr.. Mckinley, he is very far
from a true temperance man: and on
all the vital questions of the cam
paign he is directly the opposite OF
Bryan, being only tool in the hands
of monopoly, plutocracy and Hanna.

class duplicate plant and there would
be no danger of closing down on ac-
count of one engine or dynamo being
in state of disrepair. He believed
there is not room here for two plants,
and it would mean the survival of the
ittest should the Hughes company
enter this field. Mr.. Masters eX-
pressed the opinion that Mr.. Hughes
was attempting to throttle the COM
pany doing business here at present.
With two companies running there
would be cheap rates for year or so
and then one company would have to
withdraw. The company left in the
field would make patrons pay for the
cheap rates when it secured q mOnOp-
oily of the business. The speake
thought Mr.. Hughes was trying to
make a trust of the electric light
plants of North Dakota. Mr. Masters
said Mr.. Hughes asked for a twenty
five year franchise, while the James
town Electric Light Company never
had the gall to ask for more than
twenty years.
Mr.. LutZ was not prepared to eX-
press an opinion regarding the pro-
posed ordinance.

Wells County Free Press: A man

Generally speaking his wife bosses that

pose of this argument we will say that
he can have just what he likes, but
when he sits down at hotel table he
is forced to see and smell victualS that
he does not like, but that some one
else does. If you own newspaper
and have it edited for your own special
taste, you can have appear in it's COL
tmns just what you like and nothing
else. But when you are just one OF
several thousand subscribers it is
quite likely that things will appear
sometimes that you do not like, but
remember some one else does like it or
it would not be there. You can quit
it, you want to, just as you could leave
the hotel table, but the next paper
you take will be just as bad, and so
you are acting foolishly. If you have
no other grievance better tough it
out.
