Nickerson College.

The Nickerson Normal College
was organized in 1898, and has been
in successful operation for the last
FIVE years. AT meeting of the
trustees held May 4. 1908, the name
of the institution was changed to
Nickerson College. This does not
mean that normal work will be
neglected In the future, but that with
the organization of the Reno County
High School as the preparatory de
partment, the work of the collegiate
department can be made stronger.
The N. n. c. has not been changed
into county high school, but into
Nickerson College, with a stronger
Faculty, a better equipment, and
higher ideals.
Students attending the College
will not be compelled to take the
high school course, nor will they be
subjected to entrance examinations
They will enjoy every advantage the
school has hitherto afforded, and
many additional advantages.
If you are interested in the work
of this kind of school, write for a

oeIiqhtful Pretense of Surprise.

ST. PETERSBURG, April %. - The
officials of the foreign Office here eX-
pressed today intense surprise over
the report that American public opinion
was disturbed by the nevis regarding
Manchuria. They declared the people
of the United States were being mis-
led by Japan. and said the improve
ments which were in progress in Man
churia would benefit international COM
merce. They added that no new fun
damental conditions were being impos-
ed. declaring that what are in progress
are pour parlers concerning the act
of evacuation itself and the organiza-
ton of the Chinese administration to
assure order. Russia desires an as
surance that China will maintain a
sufficient police force to repress local
disorders, which are continuous
throughout Manchuria. especially in the
mountains. The attachments Of Rus
sian troops remaining in the country
have no object but the maintenance of
order locally until China is able to
guarantee that order will be maintain

miles of wild land which often has
caused Manitobans to wish Uncle Sam
would quit what they believe should be-
their own.
The geography of this region was 80
little known at the time of the LOuI-
siana purchase in 1903 that it was then
believed the Mississippi river ran much
farther north than it does. 1t was pro-
vided, therefore. that the boundaries OF
our purchase from France should be
identical with those laid down in the
French English treaty of 1863, or. so
far as that strip of northern Minnesota
land (and water) was concerned. from
the northwestern corner of the Lake
of the Woods on a due west course to
the Mississippi river.
At a later day 1T was found that
line drawn there would run far to the
north Of the head waters of the Mis-
sissippi. Therefore it was provided by
the treaty of 1918. that the boundary
line should run due south from the
northwestern corner of the Lake Of the
Woods to the forty ninth parallel OF
latitude. and then due westward on
the international boundary line already
established. That is why Minnesota
holds a wedge of practically Canadian
territory.-EXchange

TAMPERINC WITH
JURY CONFESSED
Denver Editor Pleads Guilty
and Says His Act Was
Justifiable.
Special to The Globe.


GOLDEN, Col, April 25.-H. H.
Tammen, editor of the Denver Even
ing Post, Robert Schrader and Daniel
Sadlier appeared before Judge De
France, in the district court, today and
pleaded guilty to the charge of at
tempting to bride the Anderson jury.
They were sentenced to serve a day
in the Denver Jail and pay fines of 500
each. Police Magistrate w. J. Thorn
as, of Denver, appeared to answer to
the same charge and entered plea of
nolocontender. 1t will remove the case
against Judge Thomas from the docket,
but it can be reinstated by the prose
cution at any time. All the remaining
charges against the four defendants
were dismissed.
The cases grew out of the attempt
of Attorney w. NJ. Anderson to kill F.
G. Bonfils and H. H. Tammen, propri-
etors of the Post. The assault was in
cidental to charges by the paper that
Anderson was trying to Illustrate eff
forts to secure a pardon for Alfred
Packer. Tonight the Post prints the
following, headed: ga Word to the
Public:"
Il pleaded guilty to a charge of at
tempting to tamper with or improper
ly influence a jury. Prior to 1900 this
paper had been engaged in securing
the pardon of a poor, old, broken man
who had been convicted of a crime OF
which he was never guilty. While en-
gagged in that work those representing
| this paper became satisfied that a law
yer was attempting to interfere with
| the work, to obtain a few paltry dol
| lars from this convict. A controversy
rose between him and the proprietors
of this paper. He came to our Office
and first shot my partner twice, and
then, having left the room, came back
| into the room and shot me twice, once
| when I was standing and once after
had fallen as a result of the frs
wound. I think his cowardly attemp

Russia has viewed with satisfaction
for some time said a prominent dip
lomat, "the growing animosity between
Great Britain and Germany, and if
the truth were known she has lost no
opportunity to increase this i'll feeling.
At the same time Russia is not desir-
Gus of mourning the animosity of the
United States. While the initial Rus
sian demand in Manchuria Is that no
more Manchurian ports or towns be
opened there is ground for the belief
that this demand will not be perma-
nent. Great Britain is naturally los
ing no time in pointing out that the
first demand is intended as a slap at
the United States.
1T must be remembered, however,
that Russia was never shown the text
Of the Chinese United States agree
ment in which the latter asks for GER
tain open ports in Manchuria. Conse-
quently Russia has no official knowl-
edge of this agreement. When the
United States protests individually
Russia will be prepared to make GER
tain concessions to American trade in
Manchuria, which is really Americas
only vital interest in the matter. This
concession will satisfy the United
States, thus leaving Great Britain and
Japan alone in their protest 1t may
be expected that the result of Mr..
Hays note will be intelligent conces-
sions by Russia to the United States
in Manchuria, which, while giving ad-
vantage to American trade, will still
leave the Russians in possession of
that territory"
