Wahpeton there was no church service
here on Sunday night.
We are pleased to know that Farrell
of the ssDunseith Herald has under
taken to rush the "Omemee Herald "
/ We hope Omemee will show him how
to celebrate the next fourth of July.

Just half way and on the main road
between Dunseith and Omemee::
It is expected that church services
will be transferred from the lake
school house to the one near Dan
McCann's Sabbath observance at the
lake amounts to dog, a gun, a few
cartridges and long walk just about
church time
If the business men of the county
seat would spend few days at
Omemee they would learn many
lessons along business lines. Omemee
has certainly the modern type of pro-
gressive merchants. They advertise
extensively and not by their paper only
4 but by various ways For instance
Stewart & Cairns have just sent out
notices to number of people that they
have paid up years subscription for
their town paper in their name. This
method of advertising will speedily
bring its own reward.
When that railroad gets to Dunseith
they intend to ruin a branch out to
Lords Lake. We can then have a
summer resort, palatial hotel, a
steam launch and lots of other things.
1t will cost around the neighborhood
OF SO, 600, 900 to plant enough trees
around the lake to make shade enough
to shelter from the heat of the sun or
the September blizzards. 1t would
take about 81, 600, 900 more to get rid
of the salt lake which would have to
be hauled off somewhere since no one
would have it on their lands. 1t
would take about 81, 600, 900 to erect
boulevard along which to spin our
automobiles. Then we would have to
get fresh supply of water twice a
year in order to let people get drowned
as they want to. Besides all Of these
there are many ways in which money

Site for Indian School Selected.

The Bismarck citizens committee,
in charge of the furtherance of the
city's interests in connection with the
Indian school to be established "at or
near Bismarck" by the department of
the interior, has received word that
the site offered by the city has been
accepted and the school located there
by the secretary. At meeting Of the
committee arrangements were made
for obtaining title to the site and it's
transfer to the government. The
school will be located on the bluff
overlooking the Missouri river and
near the steamboat wharf. There are
100 acres in the site. An appropria-
tion of $5O0,O0O has already been made
for beginning work, and it is under
stood that the plans Of the depart
ment contemplate the establishment
of one of the largest Indian schools in
the country at Bismarck. The total
expenditure for buildings and improve
ments will probably not be far from
half million dollars when the insti-
tuition is completed.

Decision of Importance in Life insur-
ance Cases Handed Down by
the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals.

A decision has just been handed
down by the United States circuit
court of appeals for the Eighth circuit
in the case of Isabelle McAdam against
the United Commercial Travellers of
America The case is one of unusual
Importance, and has attracted a great
deal of attention in insurance circles.
T. j. McAdams. former member
Of Grand Forks, carried a policy in
the u. G. T. order under which his
beneficiary was entitled to $500 in
surance in case of the death of the in
sured by violent, accidental and in
ternal injuries. One night in Jan
uary, 1900, he and William D. Kelley
went into the basement Of Kelley's
saloon, it is presumed for the purpose
of lighting the large lamp with which
Kelley kept the stock room in his Gel
lar warmed on cold nights. A leak in
a gas pipe had been discovered that
evening, and it is supposed that the
cellar was filed with gas from this,
and that the attempt to light the lamp
resulted in the explosion which fol-
lowed. Both McAdam and Kelley were
instantly killed. Mrs. McAdam, the
widow, was informed by an agent of
the company that McAdam had been
delinquent in his payments, and that
there was evidence that he was in
toxicated at the time of his death, and
that this would destroy her claim for
insurance. He agreed, however, to
make her a present of $1,000 if she
would give him receipt relieving the
company from all further claim. This
she did. and accepted draft for
$1,000. Later she was informed that
she had valid claim, and she refused
to cash the draft, and rendered it to
the company again. The company de-
clined to receive it, and Mrs. McAdam
brought suit to have the settlement
set aside for fraud, surprise and igno-
rance of her rights. The case was
argued before Judge Amidon of the
federal district court in Fargo, who
decided every point in favor of Mrs
| McAdam, and an appeal was theH
! taken to the next higher court. The
| complicated nature of the case is
shown by the fact that while all the
other business before the court at st
Louis at that term was disposed Of as
early as last May, the decision in thif
7 case has Just Been hahded down. f9as

SQUIRREL VIBRATIONS.
Strange Acts of Little Nut Easter
Puzzle Naturalists.

The remarkable migrations perform
ed at times by a certain kind of squirrel
constitute most interesting feature in
their history. They cOngregate in the
autumn in immense numbers, and move
off in the same general direction not
/ turning aside for the largest stream
though usually averse to water. DR..
John A kennicOtt relates that during
one of these migrations innumera BILE
squirrels swan across the Niagara near
Buffalo, N Y. landing so exhausted as
TO be easily taken by hand or knocked
down with sticks. Mr. Kennicott has
the following notes in regard TO these
migrati lions:
THE reason for these migrations is
not satisfactorily explained. That they
are caused by want of food is hardly
probable, as the squirrels are found 10
be fat at the time and as often leave
localities Astounding With food as other
wise. After one of these grand migra-
cions. very few of the species are found
in the localities from which they have
moved, and these, as if alarmed at the
unusual solitude. are silent and shy
They rapidly increase in numbers, how
ever, and in few years are as abund-
ant as before, I am not aware that
they ever migrate except when exceed
ingly abundant.
cor these immense hordes but few
probably survive No sudden increase
in their numbers was heard of in south
ern Wisconsin after the several migra-
tions from northern Illinois. Many were
drowned in attempting to cross streams;
not a few were destroyed by man; some
died from utter exhaustion, and when
forced to travel in an unnatural man
ner upon the ground, they fall an easy
prey to raDaciOus birds and mammals
all of which feast when the squirrels
migrate"
L learn from DR.. Hoy that one of these
migrations is said to have taken place
i'm 1912; he witnessed another in 1S47, and
a third in 1852. He further says THAI
the migrations observed by him IN
southern Wisconsin occurred when the
mast was exceedingly abundant and the
squirrels in good condition Near Ra-
cine they were observed passing south
ward in very large numbers for about
two weeks at the end of September ana
the beginning Of October. and it was Ii
month before all had passed. They
moved along rather leisurely. stopping
to feed in the fields and upon the
abundant nuts and acorns in the for
ests. So far had they departed from
their accustomed habits that they were
seen on the prairie, four or five miles
from any timber but even there "a
usual, they disliked to travel on the
ground, and ran along fences wherever
it was possible--Forest and Stream.
