THEY CONE AND GO

L. Freeman of Fargo is in Minneapolis for
day. He says that North Dakota people
IRE discussing crop Fargo fire festival, land
Falues and politics. The last named item is
never forgotten in the Dakotas. Who is to
be the next republican candidate for gov
ernOr is a topic that has the call. John Din
ME, who has served several terms mayor
of Grand Forks and is well known through
out the state, is the most discussed posi-
bilty at the present time. Mr.. Freeman says
that North Dakota republicans are generally
of the opinion that Grand Forks county must
be given place on the next ticket and
this sentiment has given Mr.. Dinnies friends
their opportunity.
Colonel w. n. Robinson of Mayville n. D.,
who has the position of post trader at Stand
ing Rock, is at the West. He recently shipped
to Minneapolis the largest single consignment
of hides and furs sent from any one point
in the northwest for years. Standing Rock
indians find their best profit and inclination
In the cattle industry.
Francis Beidler of Chicago, prominent in
the lumber trade, was at the West yesterday.
Mr.. Beidler has large retail lumber interests
throughout the northwest, especially in the
Red River valley. He says that indications
point to a big increase in building operations
all through the west.
F. F. Hickler of Nome, Alaska, is at the
Nicolet. He believes that the immigration
to Nome will be increased this year. The
spring rush is sure to be far greater than
that of g year ago. He regards Nome GER
tain TO make one OF the richest permanent
camps in the world.
The northern country is full of baseball
enthusiasm. The organization of associa
ton composed of northern Minnesota and
North Dakota amateur teams has touched it
off, A. D. Baughman of Grand Forks, who
is here to-day, says that all of the towns in
the association are preparing for faster ball
and consider that the association is on a sue
cessful basis. Seeding has been delayed some
in the northern part Of the state by sticky
soil, but trade has been satisfactory.
C. S. Benson of St. Cloud is at the West.
ST. Cloud people are interested in what their
granite display will do for the town at the
Buffalo exposition. Mr. Benson says that
the politicians are wondering what will be
the exact effect of the primary election law
on the congressional free-forall in that dis
trict. A big field of starters is assured. Tn
der the convention system some line could be
obtained on the comparative strength of the
aspirants but the fight in the st. Cloud dis
trict is expected to be of such a nature that
no one will be able to make an intelligent
guess.

Mildred, who is a wee mite in years
and stature, is the sunshine of GER
tain home. 1t is frequently the GUS
tom for her father to read aloud from
the daily papers to the family menu
bers when he comes home in the even
ings. His business has to do with the
wholesaling of books, and for that
reason he is much interested in the
benefactions of Mr.. Carnegie in es-
tablishing free libraries. These. arti-
cles he always reads aloud, and
Mildred has come to know in a vague
way about the philanthropist giving
away so many free libraries. 1t so
happened that on recent evening
her father noticed an advertisement in
the paper which he thought might in
terest his wife, and he read it aloud.
The advertisement was headed "A
Picture Given Away Free" Mildred
listened closely, and after he had
finished she said:
II bet know who giv's tn pickter
away"
"Who, dear?" queried her mother.

STUDENT KILLED.
Freshman BiGelOw, of Harvard, Run
Over by n Fire Engine mt
the College,

Cambridge, Mass, June 12.-H. S.
Bigelow, of Buffalo, a freshman at
Harvard, was instantly killed by a
chemical engine of the Cambridge fire
department Tuesday night. A fire was
found among pile of boards near the
Harvard architectural building by one
of the Harvard professors. An alarm
was sent in, but before the firemen re-
sponded Prof. Hollis and the students
had put out the fire. The alarm caused
the undergraduates to assemble, and
as the tiremen drove up there was
much jeering., The chemical engine
was very late, and the crowd hooted
the men. The accidents described diff
ferently, the fremen claiming that the
horses on the engine became excited at
the bowling crowd and dashed for
ward, scattering the crowd. The stu
dents claim that the driver, John
Dowdis, deliberately drove his engine
into the crowd of students. Bigelow
was caught under the wheels, and 9TH
er students were knocked down, but
only one had any injury to speak of.
As soon as the students realized what
had happened they made wild demon
stration. But cool heads maintained
control, and the fremen were allowed
to return to their stations.
