A North Dakota boy who recently
returned to the state after spending
two years in the rcformatory at Plank
inton, S. d., is an example OF the fact
that the school is worthy of the name
which it bears. When the lad was
sent to the institu tiOn he was 1T years
OF age. He was lazy, disobeyed his
parents 'swOre buently, smoked aa(l
had good start on the downward
path. Now he is industrious, has
formed good habits, uses good lan-
guage and is model young man. lie
tells a good story as to how the change
was Brought about When he first
went to the school he thought he
might be able possibly to run things
TO- suit himself. But a strong man
who welded a lash made expressly for
the purpose interviewed him in a Gel
lar-like room d lew times and he
changed his mind. These interviews
were four in number and the last one
the lad had with his strong friend
occupied two hours. After that the
young fellow Obeyed without hesita-
ton. There are now Sc boys in the
school, all residents of North and
South Dakota.

For Veterans,

Last Tuesday the senate passed
Senator IIansbrough's bill extending
to veterans of the Spanish and Phil
!ppine wars the privileges regarding
hOmcStcadS on government land al
ready enjoyed by veterans Of the war
OF the rcbcllions. The principal pro-
vision is that every private or officer
who served for ninety days and the
honorably discharged in the Spanish
war or the Philippine war, including
seamen and marines, and who takes
a homestead of not over 100 acres on
government land, shall be allowed six
months time after filing in which to
make settlement. The time served
in the army, navy or marines shall be
deducted hercfrom to perfect title.
or If the soldier taking the homestead
has been discharged before the end of
the term for which he enlisted on ac-
count Of wounds received in the ser
vice, the whole period for which he
enlisted shall be deducted from the
term of residence required before
proving up. But at least one years
residence on the land is Still required.

terer OF Valley City the enforcement
league started injunctiOnal proceed
ingS against the defendants in OctO-
Der. alleging that the building occu-
pied by O'Grady was used as a blind

Murphy, who had bought it from
Black, although it was not entirely
paid for, and TO cover the question of
ownership fully the league included
all of them in it's suit.
At the term of court held in Valley
City Judge GlaSpell ruled that the
fact that the suit was brought through
non resident attorneys and on COM
plaint Of q nonresident witness with.

Northern Pacific Refuses.

st. Paul, Minn., Dec. 26.--Thc
Northern Pacific has decided that it
can neither adopt the telcgraphers'
book of rules or treat with the O. r..
II. as an organization, but would
cheerfully treat with the telcgraphcrs
as u body of Northern Pacific en-
pioyes. The Northern Pacific is pre-
pared along a portion Of the line for
any emergency that may arise. AS a
matter of fact no one expects that the
Telephone will cone into general use
on the lineS-that it will only be used in
case of a strike. The placing of long
distance telephone instruments in d
number OF offices along the line was
Simply a pointer to the telcgraphcrs.
The Northern Pacific will not take
any further chances with pass manip-
ulators. Next year every pass issued
by the company will be printed upon
specially prepared paper. Should d
pass manipulater seek to change ink
marks in order to change the name or
destination, he will find that any acids
he may use will promptly turn the
pass white. .Snould he try to scrape
the ink off, the will find the colored
surface will'quickly wear off, leaving
a film of white underneath.

Her Nie(e.

A Valley City jury awarded to Miss
Lena Wegnera verdict for $500 in he1
damage suit against her aunt, Mrs.

was alleged, circulated false ard ma
licious reports concerning the charac-

be SubStantiatcd in court.
Damages to the amount Of $1,000
were claimed, and it is understood
that nine members Of the jury favored
a verdict of 81 900. They were finally
brought to view the matter in the
same light us the other three, who
thought that smaller sum was Sulli-
cicnt vindicatiOn these hard times.
The testimony was sensational and
showed to what proportions a malc-
iOus report, with no foundation, may
grow. Miss Wegncr has been fully
indicated.
Judge Glaspcll will convene special
term of court Feb. g. in Valley City

Christmas Day is Observed in James
town in a Manner Befit-
ing the Occasion.
The Little Ones Made nappy BY
Christmas Tree and Other
Gifts.
Peace on Earth and Good Will To-
wards All Men Feeling Pre-
vailed.

Tuesday occurred the annual ccle-
bratiOn Of Christmas. The weather
was appropriate and there was just
snow enough to prevent the idea that
it was a green Christmas. The Christ
mas Observances began on the eve Of
that day when numerous children
gathered in the churches and were
prevented with gifts which had been
placed on the trees. In some families
however stockings were hung up by
the hopeful children who believed that
Santa Claus would make his annual
trip down through the chimney to
leave something they desired. In
most cases Santa did leave what was
wanted but there were a few cases
where he ran a little short and remem-
bered the little ones with something
not quite SO high priced as that deSir-
ed. There were number of generous
people OF the city who assisted in the
| work OF making little ones happy
whose Christmas would otherwise have
been almost without anything to cheer
them. Services were held in the
Catholic and Episcopal churches as
usual on festivals of this character.
There Was feasting in the residences
and boarding houses and the best of
good feeling prevailed. At Mrs. Har-
rlngtOn'S the menu was an elaborate
one. The Capital Mrs. Raymond S
and other boarding houses and hotels
served their guests with dinners Of
| unusual dimensions.
At the Gladstone hotel there was
plenty OF good cheer and the usual
celebration Of the occasion. The an
| nual Christmas tree was given at the
hotel parlorS Christmas eve. 1t was
the 18th tree for some Of the employees.
every one OF whom received some
reminder from friends, guests and Mr..
ana Mrs. Klaus. The latter were the
recipients OF a handsome pair of can
delaDra from the employees. L. b.
Niemeyer acted for Santa Claus in the
distribution OF the gifts. \ number
OF guests and others from the city
were present, and the occasion as
usual, much enjoyed. Guests Of the
hotel were also remembered by the
management. In the evening an
elaborate Christmas dinner was served
which was largely attended by resi-
dents OF the city.
At noon the MaSOns Of the CITY as
sembled in their hall, according to
their annual custom and toasted the
grand officers of the order. The cere-
mony is usually performed at the same
time on Christmas day throughout the
United States and is the occasion of a
renewal of fraternal feeling and good
fellowship.
y crowd of Eldridge young people
went to Windsor and participated in
Christmas tree festivities. a bounti-
ful supper was spread after the enter
talnment. The tree was prepared by
the people of Windsor and about two
weeks were taken in preparations: a
musica, and literary program preced-
ing the distribution of presents.
