After u consultation of the best

Accordingly the operation was per-
formed that afternoon by Drs. Cor

paper by Miss Wald who took as the
theme for her thesis. elite nature in the
Grades, AL address by Prof. A. p. Hol-
lis, supervisor Of the practice depart
ment, several musical selections by the
students, and the presentation of the

made and will be sent to all teachers
who desire copy.
Tie enrolment in the normal school
much exceeded all expectations, the
number in attendance at the close of the
term being only eleven less than at the
same time last year. The present indl-
cations are that the attendance during
the remainder of the year will be as
great as that Of the past year. In the
matter Of attendance rather peculiar
coincidence has been noted IN the en-
rol|Inent Of the two State Normal Schools.
During the winter term Of last year and
the fall term ust ended the number en-
rolled was the same in the two insti-
tuIions.
The announcement of the appoint-

WILLISTON GRAPHIC
KILLED BY A SELBY CAR.
Charles M. Miller, Railway Civil
Engineer. formerly Of Will
liston, N. d., meets a
violent Death,

Charles NJ. Miller, assistant engineer
on the Montana division Of the Great
Northern road, who is we'll and favorable
known here in Williston, was struck by
a Selby car at Fourth and Exchange
streets, in the city Of St. Paul, shortly
after S O'Clock last Sunday afternoon and
almost instantly killed.
AS near as could be ascertained he was
walking across Fourth street when d
west-bound car struck him and he was
knocked unconscious. He was picked
up and taken to the city hospital. It was
thought at first that he was not very
badly hurt, but when they arrived at
the hospital the man was dead. He had
short mark, which looked like a scratch,
on the right side of his head about two
inches from the eye.
I Mr.. Miller WAS brother of DR.. Gin
ton g. Miller, living at Alb East Tenth
street, st. Paul, and of Nelson d. Miller,
formerly chief civil engineer of the
Great Northern, and now bridge con-
tractor. He also left mother, Mrs.
Lucia A. Miller, and sister, Miss Lucia
NJ. Miller, principal of the Webster
school, who lives with her mother in
st. Paul. The dead man lived with his
mother but made his headquarters,
when out Of st. Paul, in this city.
He was born in Vernon, VT, and was
fifty-two years old. He came to St..
Paul with his folks forty years ago and
used to sell papers on the streets in
1864. He had been working as a civil
engineer for the past twenty years, and
once worked for the Northern Pacific.
He has been with the Great Northern
far several years, and had been assist
ant engineer for three years, haying
been stationed here in Williston the
past year or more. He went home
about two weeks ago to spend the holt
days, and appeared to be in the best of
health.
Mr.. Miller was single, and we'll liked
by all his. friends. His sudden death
comes rs shock to his relatives and to
all who knew him.

these letters could possibly mean. II
occurred to him that possibly his wife
was saving out some money to buy
something for him. But then he knew
that his initials were not ID. X. W.
