SCHOOLS REOPEN.
Supt. Hayward Outlines the Work Of
Langdon Public Schools for the Year.

Supt. Hayward Outlines the Work of
Langdon Public Schools for the Year.
Much of interest regarding the open
ing OF Langdon Public Schools for the
year l901-02, is given the readers this
week from Supt. r. Hayward. What
follows is of value to the parent and
pupil alike. Young teachers who cal
culate taking the higher work during the
winter wall also find information:
"As already announced school reopens,
Monday, September, 9th. Absence and
Hardness are very productive of unsue-
cessful school work; and as we are to
have q shorter school year than usual,
only nine months, it is necessary, if we
are to have success that We begin at the
opening and remain closely at it through
out the year. All pupils who can should
be present on the first day. There are to
be two teachers in the High School.
This will enable us to give the young
people of Langdon and vicinity an
excellent opportunity for such work ss
is usually done in the high schools. The
addition of one teacher in the Grades,
which was made last winter, relieves a
crowded condition there, and good work
may be looked for i'll those departments.
Pupils who are SIX years of age, OF will
be six by the first of December, should
begin school September 9th, as no new
classes will be formed until after the
Easter Vacation. It has been announc-
ed that a teachers class will be organized
the first Monday in December, but it is
hoped that all who can will avail them.
selyes Of the opportunities offered in the
High School classes. for the work of the
teachers class will be offered only as the
result OF apparent urgent necessity.

this order into execution when, looking
to the southwark, where the sky had
previously been clear. we saw cloud
apparently rising from the ground and
then accompanied by q heavy muffled
sound, faint at first, but rapidly increas-
ing in volume, the cloud was spreading
rapidly onward and upward, becoming
visibly larger every minute. Presently
over the crest of one of the rolling hills
Of that section, perhaps mile or two
distant, some buffaloes came into view.
Some, say for we only noticed few at
first, but there were others and they were
coming our way, and I soon no longer
wondered that there was dust in the air,
for such the cloud proved to be, and
soon the buffaloes were upon us. They
divided on either side OF our temporary
fort, and we settled down to wait until
the drove he'd passed us ON their pilgri-
mage to the northwest. We waited two
and half days, and during this time we
could literally see nothing but buffaloes
all around us. There were surely
millions of them.''

HALF A CENTURY.
Hon. Charles Cavalier of Pembina s.
Years a Citizen of N. Oak.

Hon. Charles Cavalier of Pembina so
Years a Citizen of N. Oak.
North Dakota's oldest settler the Hon.
Charles Cavilier, after whom Cavalier
Co. was named, last week celebrated
the fiftieth anniversary of his residence
at Pemblna. An eyentful half century
has passed since Mr.. Cavileer, who is
now in his eighty-ftth year. settled there.
What changes have taken place in the
world at large, in the United States and in
North Dakota, during all these years.
In view Of the progress in the sciences
and arts, the changes in the earth's
geography, in the great wars and in
other respects, it may be called the most
eventful half century in the worlds
history. When Mr.. Cavileer located at
Pembina that place was far beyond the
outskirts OF civilization, little settle
ment Of half breeds and few white
traders had made their home there, IT
home it might be called, for occasional
periods, after the departure OF Lord
Selkirk's Scotchmen and the place had
thus become a trading point where
Indians disposed of furs to the traders
of the great fur companies. Later as
buffalo hides came into more active de-
mand, it was centre of that trade.
Pembina was at that time in Minnesota
and at one time $500 Red River carts
were in Commission" between St. Paul
and Pembina. For ages the American
bison had roamed these prairies undis-
turbed except by the rowing red men,
but the demands Of trade soon commeno-
] ed the war Of determination. An Incl
dent related by Mr.. Cavileer to the writer
will be of interest, connecting, as it does,
the past with the present. Although,
seemingly incredible yet the high repu-
tRtion Of Mr.. Cavileer leaves no room for
doubt, and the statement is confirmed
by the thousands OF bleaching buffalo
bones which still Uttered the earth's
surface in all this section when it was
broken up by the plowshare, compare
lively few years ago:
1.-THE last big lot of buffaloes I saw
remarked Mr.. Cavlleer, "was in what is
now western Walsh county. was on
my way with party OF traders out "a
Devils Lake on trading expedition.
All at once one of the traders, veteran
in the service, who had been acting some
what uneasily for few minutes, put bis
head to the earth, and listened iutently
Then suddenly spripRing up he gave
expression to the one word "buffaloes,' u
and then gave orders without any ex-
planation to form our carts into "
shaped fort with the point to the south.

Last Scene of the Famous Barry
Murder Trial Enacted.
HARD LABOR FOR LIFE

He Does Not Ask New Trial But Has
Sixty Days to Make an Appeal if he
Wants One-Prosecution Costs Taxed
Up to Barry. The Latter However Had
Already Disposed of His Property.
Tuesday afternoon William Barry was
brought into court for the last time
during the long drawn trial that has
held the attention of the public for up
wards six weeks. The sentence pro-
nounced by Judge Kneeshaw was in
accordance with the verdict of the jury
and commits Barry to imprisonment in
the state penitentiary for the period OF
his natural life, stipulating also that he
be employed at hard labor.
There was scarcely a hundred people
in the court room when Barry received
his sentence. The verdict of the jury,
affixing the penalty, foretold the con-
clusion to the many who had watched the
progress Of the case.
The defense, just before Barry was
called was called on to stand up to re-
ceive sentence. interpossd motion for
arrest Of judgment, on the grounds that
the information filed by the state did not
show sufficient grounds to constitute a
public offense. A request was also made
by the counsel that the court give them
time in which to argue the motion.
Judge Kneeshaw denied the motion and
after brief outline of the case, it's trial
and verdict gave Barry his life sentence at
hard labor. The court also directed
that judgment be entered against Barry
for the amount incurred by the county
in the prosecution of the case.
Phis was unexpected by outsiders, but
is provided for by statute and was
doubtless anticipated by the defense as
Barry only few days ago transferred
his farm property to his brother, Thomas

is doubtful whether the early part of any of the vast decade has found the cotton plant so III calculated to withstand the trying months of July and August. Of course it may be that the abnormal sea- son has brought August weather in the latter part of June and early July and from now on the most favorable condi- tions will be had. Weather plays strange freaks but after all that has passed so far this season such favoring turn as will bring 0 bumper yield from the pres ent prospects seems hardly reasonable to expect The plant in many sections has already turned and is now going backward with every hours sun.
 In other sections of the belt west Of the river it has reached the turning point and the question of saving the present prospect depends on rain in the next forty-eight hours In still other regions a few days more of what has passed this week and the turning point will be reached. We did not think we were overstating the question two weeks ago when we called attention to the fact that Texas needed watching.
