"Aa American Tramp Coming wednes.
doy, Dec. 9Th.

can American Hobo" is the striking
title OF a new play by E. F. Kidder, the
well-known author. who wrote "A Poor
Relation, Peaceful Valley" and other
plays which attained considerable fame.
The play is offered by the veteran man.
ager, U. 81 Newell, and is a story of
American life por,ray,d by American
characters, and told in. d quick, sparkling
way, full Of sttong, dramatic climaxes,
brisk dialogue and brilliant comedy.
The central idea concerns the defraud.
ing OF a life insurance cnmp,nv bv a
rascal named Jo5, Barrett. Both the
idea and treatment are absolutely new
and original, il such things can he ruth.
fully said in dramatic writing TO-DAY.
Job Barrett insures his mife's life for
$4,000, and then, BY his scheming, Laws
claim she died. He has, however,
stupe6ed her with powerful drugs. and
keeps her a close prisoner in the top
garnet of his house, where no one ever
visits except himself. He then subs,i-
tutes a body, the face of which has been
destroyed, and the body isburied as his
wife's. He then collects the $4,000
from the insurance company. His step
daughter, a little girl of fourteen, the
child OF the ill-treated wife, is away at
school at the time and knows nothing OF
her mother being alive, being forbid
den to go upon the upper floor OF the
house where the victim is secreted.
The suspicious of a detective connected
with the insurance company, named
Warren Wade, are aroused, and with
the assistance IF the woman's child, Il
little girl named Flo, his friend Barker
and a quaint character. a tramp called
"Happy Jack" he discovers the unfor-
tunate woman secreted in the attic,
being treated to slow poison, and after
an exciting series of adventures restores
her to her daughter and friends, and
metes out the proper punishment to
Barrett and his accomplice, an adven-
turess who has agreed to marry him
and Av to foreign lands with the $4,000
defrauded from the life ms"r'nce com
pany. The character of "Happv Jack"
lisa most novel and quaint conceit. He
is an ex.circus performer, the death of
his wife and child having robbed him
of all his ambition until he becomes, as
he expresses it, a ordinary,
American hobo, n like you read of in
the funny papers who are a standing
joke to everyone but themselves. This
interesting story is told with pleasing
s%peciaIties, with wholesome comedy BY
"Happy Jack" and a comedy Irish.

bright lines keep the audience in con-
tinuous good humor throughout the

STOCK AND GRAIN CONTEST.
The Tea Day Stock and Grain Judging
Course Given at the Agricultural
COLLEGE,

.. NO1CyC. .
The agricultural college is making
thorough preparation for the ten day
stock and grain judging course which
will be given December 7 to II lnclus-
i've. The work has been arranged
especially for the older, active stock.
men and farmers who wish to be more
efficient judges of live stock and grain.
1t will consist IN actual placing of ami
mails and grain-not in lectures on how
it should be done.
A large expense has been incurred in
securing some OF the best outside talent
in America to aid the regular live stock
and grain judging instructors in pre-
senting the different subjects. Prof
Thomas Shaw, who needs no introduce
ton to the agriculturists of North Da-
kota, will devote two days to beef and
dual purpose cattle. Prof. ]. ]. Fergu-
son, Swift 4 Co.'s expert swine Judge,
will devote two days to swine, studying
the breeds, types, carcasses, etc. With
such men as these in charge there can
he no doubt of the success of the course
this year.
During the past year the college
herds and aocks have been largely i'm
proved by many additions of excellent
animals. These animals, together with
loans from the best herds and locks in
the country, assure an abundance of
good live stock for illustration and
study. Many months have been spent
by experts in specially fitting the stock
for this occasion, and those who attend
will have an opportunity to study as
we'll as to admire animals surpassed bv
few seen at our state fairs.
The course has been arranged so that
the student may take any one particular
branch or he may take the whole course.
A general plan will be followed in TIL
work with each class of live stock.
Taken the work to be given on sheen as
an example, the student will be famil-
iarized with what constitutes good
mutton form and confirmation. After
this has been accomplished the student
will be taught how to distinguish the
different breeds of sheep, and their
ddaptability to different sections and
purposes.
The following schedule gives the
dates on which the work with the diff
ferent classes Of live stock is to be
given:
Horse judging-draft horses, Deem
Der 9TH and 9th.
Light horses-December 9th.
Cattle judging-beef and general
purpose cattle, December 10th and
18th.
Dairy cattle-December 18th.
Sheep judging-down breeds and
strict mutton types, December 14th.
Long and fine wooded breeds-De-
cember 18TH.
Swine judging-lard and bacon hog
types, December 10th.
December I7th-Slaughter tests to
| show how the different market classes
dress out, and why certain classes of
hogs sell at a premium:

Misseurians Doing Well In Stark County.

R. w. Neal and sons, located on the
F. E. Calvin place six miles southeast
of Gladstone, seem to be getting along
we'll in this country. 1t will be four
years next spring since the family moved
to Stark county from Missouri. The
first season they farmed the Thomas
Evans place, moving to the George
Hickman farm for the winter. Mr.. Neal
bought a REIMBURSEMENT of the Calvin
quarter and filed a homestead on it.
He also assumed Mr.. Calvin's railroad
quarter and contracted with the COM
pany for another 16o acres of land, and
his sons filed on three manifestations
OF land in the same locality, making 900
acres of land, in addition to a water
claim and leased school lands, which the
family 10Y have. They have 123 head
of cattle besides other stock, which they
are caring for, and the past season they
raised some good crops, and altogether
they seem we'll pleased with their change
from Missouri to North Dakota.
1t will interest our readers to know
that F. E. Calvin and family are located
near Denver, Colorado. Mi. Neal says
that he thinks Mr.. Calvin is working at
the mason trade. The family went
south from here, overland, it viii be
remembered, three years ago this fall.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-There
has been given out at the White
House a letter from Governor Luke E.
Wright to President Roosevelt, dated
August Is. in which the governor tells
of the harmful eject of the discus,
sion of the Philippine independence in
the United States. This letter was
given to the. newspaper correspond

garded as the Presidents direct an
swer to Judge Parker on the Philip
pine question. These are the extracts
from the letter which the President
directed to be published:
""The fleet of the continued discus
sion as to the capacity of the Filipino
for self-government and his immedi-
ing its effect here and makes our task
more difficult than it otherwise would
be. The less a man is equipped with
intelligence and those qualities which
make good citizenship the more
easily can he be persuaded that he
is the p~ossessor of all those quail
ties.
This people have their full share
of ambition and vanity. and they also
have their full share of reckless, half
formed characters who are ready for
intrigue in any direction which prom
Uses them profit or power. It is this
class which has largely given force
and direction which promises them
profit or power. It is this class which
has largely given force and direction
the Ag1ipayan movement, and has
recruited it's ranks from the ignorant
and dangerous element.-.&."*
In this general connection may
say to you as a matter of information
that the agitation in the United States

spoken and written utterauces of
men there who are urging

Its tendency is TO restore the intiu-
