NORTH DAKOTA POLITICS
MAYOR REGISTER, OF BISMARCK.
REVIEWS PRESENT SITUATION
Senator Hansbrough's Chances for
Recollection Are Good, Though
Others Are Yearning
for the Seat.

Among the guests at the Windsor hotel
last night was F. H. Register, who is
known as the reform mayor of Bismarck,
and Wno for number of years has been
prominent political factor in the Flick
ertail state.
Mayor Register has become noted of
late for the vigorous crusade he has
made against the Wide-open saloon and
gambling policy of Bismarck, and he has
succeeded in closing up all of the dis
reputable resorts of the city.
in referring to the political situation
ne thinks tnat the chances of United
States Senator Hansbrough for re-elec-
ton are very favorable, but at the same
time there are other factors which may
cut quite swath.
Among those who would like to don
the senatorial toga are Jud I4aMoure,
Of Pembina; Thomas F. Marshall who
is now serving in congress from North
Dakota, and one of the most progressive
and aggressive men in the state
1t is said that the latter has the back
ing of all the towns and cities on the
Missouri river slope, and if this proves
to be the case, North Dakota will wit
ness one of the hardest political fights
in its history.
From the present outlook the political
gtadiators are buckling on their armor
earlier than usual, and as shrewd OBJ
server from Bismarck remarked yester.
day, somebody is sure to have a good
run for his money.

MILWAUKEE BRINGS IN ELEVEN
TRAINLOADS OF EXCURSIONIsTS

Secing-Most OF Them Will

Today.

Eleven special trains ran into the Twin
Cities over the Milwaukee railroad yes
terday, each train carrying at least ten
coaches, emptying $500 excUrsionists into
them before 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. The Fl. & D., however, carried $500
people and the 1. & M. $500 from points
in Southern Minnesota and Northern
Iowa.
The excursionists seemed to be above
the average in intelligence dress and be-
havfor. They came from smaller towns
near McGregor and Des Moines, Iowa.
and Sioux Falls Aberdeen, Eureka and
Bowdle, S. d. Others among them are
from the western part of Minnesota and
some from other points in South Dakota.
Nearly one-half of the visitors will re-
main here until tonight, and take ad-
vantage of the day to make purchases
here
1t was estimated by the officials Of
the Milwaukee railroad that fully 80 per
cent of the eXcursionists from the west
were in by O'Clock yesterday morn
ing Many of them reached the city as
early as a. M. and scattered them
selves in sightseeing among the points
of interest. There was a. jam at Mime
haha Falls, Lake Harriet and Lake
Como, and last night there was an
increased attendance at the theateIs and
other places of amusement about the
city. The churches, too, were quite well
attended
Those of the excursionists who re-
turned to their hornes had left the city
by 1880 o'clock last night, and the Mil
waukee railroad officials were rushed
for an nour between 6 and 7:30 o'clock

SALARIES ARE HIGHER
UNIFORM CERTIFICATION OF
TEACHERS HAD GOOD EFFECT.
Incompetent Instructors Have Been
Forced to Drop Out to the
Benefit of Those Re-
naming.

When the law providing for the uniform
certfcation of teachers in Minnesota
was being pushed in the legislature of
1899 it's supporters claimed that one of
its first effects would be to raise the
wages of the teaching profession of the
state. The law has been in effect just
two years, and yet this claim has. been
verified in that short time. The imme-
diate effect Of that law was to greatly
reduce the number of first grade teach
ers in Minnesota.
The law governing the state aid to rur-
al schools demanded, among other condi-
tlonS, that the schools applying for that
a.d should secure first grade teachers.
The result was that first grade teachers
We're in great demand in every county
of the state, and hundreds of schools de-
string to secure the state aid had the
greatest difficulty in securing such teach
ers, many Of them being absolutely una
bic to do so. School districts at once be-
gan to offer higher salaries for first e ade
teachers. This condition stimulated
teachers to work hard for a first grade
certificate, and has gradually, and very
materially, improved the standard of
teaching in Minnesota. 1t brought many
teachers from other states who were able
to meet the new conditions
There is still a scarcity of first grade
teachers, and a teacher holding this k nd
of certificate has TO difficulty in obtain
ing a paying position. The law also com
PEELED large number of incompetent
teachers to drop out of the work, and
their places have been filed by teachers
who could qualify. Reports received re-
Gently from many counties in the state.
particularly those counties in the north
eTn part of the state, prove conclusively
that the wages of teachers have increas-
ed considerably, and it is certain that
the next report of the department of
public instruction will show the largest
average salary reported in Minnesota for
twenty-five years.

A meeting was held at Cretin hall yes

against saloon men who have been sell

The committee reported good progress,
and recently several members of the
society held a conference with Chief of
Police O'Connor, who gave them every
assurance that he would be only too glad
to cooperate with them in their noble
work
1t was decided to make a vigorous war

The committee reported that Chief
OF Police O'Connor gave assurances that

minors, they would be prosecuted to the
full limit and no mercy would be shown.

IN NAQUANDARY
FRANK IS. DAUGHERTY HAS RE-
MOVED FROM 5OTa DISTRICT
is in Doubt as to whether He Can
Legally Occupy Seat at
Forthcoming Extra
Session.

State Senator Frank B. Daugherty, of
Duluth, was in the city yesterday on
his way home from the East, and he is
in quite quandary to know just where
he is at in a political way.
At the time Mr. Daugherty was elected
a member of the senate his wife was
a patient in one of the st. Paul hos
pitals. and as his boy was away he
took up temporary quarters at the st.
Louis hotel, which is in the Fiftieth dis
trict from which he was elected to the
senate.
Recently his family returned and
opened up their home, which is located
in what is known as the East end, and
which is included in the Fiftietn dis
trict
In view of the extra session of the
legislature the question now arises as
to whether Senator Daugherty must
keep up his residence in the Fiftieth dis
trict in order to maintain his political
prestige or take chances in living with
his family, whose home is in another
district. Last night he talked the mat,
ter over with j. Adam Bede, of birch
bark fame, and together it is suspected
that they found a way out of the d.

lam e. Allen, of 739 Pine street, was COM
ing home from Minneapolis with his little
four year-old daughter, and as the car
shot suddenly around the curve at Como

Mariner, fell from the window When
picked up it was found that one of her
fingers had been cut off and foot badly
crushed. She was taken into the resi-
dence of D. D. White, 1889 Churchill
street, and DR.. Ogden was summoned
to attend her After an examination of
the child's injuries, DR.. Ogden said that
it might be necessary to amputate the
foot. The accident happened so suddenly
that not an effort could be made to pre-
vent it, and just how the injuries were
received cannot be known.
