become at midnight last night upon talk
ing on the change of venue bill, that Ser

sat him down in his chair amid scenes
seldom witnessed in a legislative body.
This was the climax to the most remark
able single handed filbuster ever seen in

Friday, Senator Kennedy resorted to every
known tactic for impeding the progress of
the bill which Is SO distatsteful to Heinze.
To prevent repetition of the filibuster-
ing, the rules COMMITTEE on Wednesday
brought in new rules limiting the sena-
tors to thirty minute speeches on amend
ments, motions and resolutions. Kenne-
dy fought the adoption Of these rules until
dark and at night prevented the senate
going into committee Of the whole for

talking that the sergeant forced him to
his seat. Even then he did not subside,
but was on his feet with a motion to adj

that when the supreme court is shown

fessor Daniel E. Willard, Of the science
department of the state normal school,
had been elected to the chair of geology
in the agricultural college at Fargo, which
was made vacant by the death OF Pro-
fessor Hall, came as complete surprise
to his friends here. It spite of the general
regret felt at the removal of Professor
Willard from the city, great satisfaction
is felt that he has won the recognition his
good work in geology in North Dakota Is
worthy Of. He will assume his new du-
ties at the beginning of April. The po-
sition carries with it a place on the United
States geological survey.
The students and faculty Of the state
normal raised a purse of $25 for the bene-
fit of Miss Aasen. a, student who lost near

MISS FROST GETS THE OFFICE
Contest for Superintendent May Be Pro.
longed by Another Move

FARGO, n. D.--Much interest has been
taken over the state in the contest for
superintendent Of public schools in Ward
county. Two years ago Major Murphy
disliked the republican nominee for SUI
perintendent and sprang a; coup at the
last minute by sending stickers over the
county and eleeting young man, named
Bickford.
Bickford was the regular republican
nominee at the last election, and Miss
Frost, who has a claim in Ward county,
ran independently. She was elected, but
Bickford refused to turn over the office to
her on the ground that she was a nom
resident, having been superintendent Of
schools i'll Jackson county, Minnesota.
TO make the matter stronger, contest
was started by a friend Of Major Murphy
on Miss Frost's claim. The case went
into the courts and Judge Cowan has
ordered Bickford to turn the office over
to Miss Frost. There will be further
legal proceedings.
