delegates in attendance at the world s
fourth Sunday school convention held
at Jerusalem, Palestine, April 1920 ar
rived in New York on the "Grosser
Kurfurst" May 10. They report a
splendid voyage.
This convention was the greatest of
it's kind ever held. Twenty-Five coun-
tries were represented by 1926 dele
gates representing forty-two Protes-
tant evangelical churches. Members
from six other sects were present. Jeru-
salem is the great convention city of
Bible history. Here the tribes went
up" and Paul attended the first church
council, the Mohammedans. Saracens
and Crusaders have all assembled here.
The convention was held in 4 large tent

were very near. On the platform were
prominent workers from England and
America, missionaries from Turkey
Egypt, Bulgaria, Persia. Japan, Syria,
India, Australia, MADEIRA, the Mts. Lee
banon and Plains of Sharon, the Sam
aritan High Priest, the mayors of
Jerusalem and superintendent of pub
lie instruction of Palestine. The mis-
sionaries and native workers were an
xious for better methods of work and
there was organized 1.-The Palestine
Sunday School Association"
The cruise was great missionary
enterprise. Forty-eight mission sta
tons were visited. The result was en-
couragement to the workers on the
fields by personal contact with the del
egates and large offerings received and
a great interest in foreign mission work
was received by the delegates who re-
turn to their home fields to link more
closely Sunday school and missionary
endeavor. On the return voyage the
first national Sunday school convention
of Italy was held at Rome.
Full reports of this convention will
be given at the state Sunday school
convention at Iowa Falls, June "a 80.

slEvERr: CASE STILL ON.
Trial of the Sievert> Case Progressing
SLOWLY In the District Court.

Trial of the sievert, Case Progressing
Slowly In the District Court.
In the Sievert case in the district
court today the evidence of the de-
fense's witnesses was mainly given to
prove that Gottlieb Sievert, the de-
PENDANT, was insane at the time the
shooting of his wife was done. The
principal witness, aside from the de-
PENDANT himself, who took the stand
at about half past eleven o'clock, was
DR.. Perigo, a woman physician Of Den
hoff. Mrs. Perigo was acquainted
with the Sievert family, had treated
Mrs. Sievert for a time, and had also
seen Sievert the day after the shoot
ing, when he had two bullets in his
head from an attempt at suicide. DR..
Perigo would not state positively that
the defendant was insane at the time,
but she stated that she did not see
how sane person could have with
stood what Sievert did with two bull
let's in his head.
Several other witnesses both late
yesterday afternoon and this morning
testified to having seen Sievert lit
tie while prior to the shooting, and
that his attitude appeared to be I'M
usual or abnormal, the look in his
eyes Indicating insanity as one or two
of the witnesses expressed it.
At half past eleven Sievert, the de-
PENDANT, took the stand himself. The
opening of his testimony was recital
of his personal history and the family
difficulties that had taken place be-
tween him and his wife.

GALL FOR IRRIGATION CONGRESS.

President Williams and Secretary
Brown Issue Call for Another Irri-

1t has been deemd best to call an
other session of the North Dakota
State Irrigation Congress, to meet at
Bismarck, JAN "a, 1905. Those who
have been members of former con-
crosses will be members at the forth
coming session; boards of county COM
missioners, mayor of cities and presi-
dents Of commercial bodies may ap-
point five or more delegates to repre-
sent them on this occasion. Also all
state, county and city officials are ex-
officio members. Some tangible re-
suits have been secured during the
past year. The state has contributed
some 100000 to the reclamation
funds of which 100000 has been al
ready set aside for expenditure in
North Dakota. The people of North
Dakota need education along the line
OF Irrigation work. A united effort will
bring the results desired. Some of
the best posted speakers in the entire
country are expected to be present. It
is hoped that there will be a large at
tendance from every part of the state.

NEW GROUND FOR CONTEST.
Walsh County Official Discovers a
Novel Ground for Contest.

Walsh County Official Discovers a
Novel Ground for Contest.
T. G. Bannon, the present incum-
bent of the Office Of sheriff of Walsh
county, and who was defeated for re-
election in November last by the re-
publican nominee, G c. Hankey, has
filed notice of contest against Mr.. Han
key The grounds on which the con-
test is brought are new wrinkle in
election contests. The election stat
ute provides in order to simplify the
matter of voting that an elector desir-
ing to vote a straight party ticket may
do so by simply placing an x in the
space opposite one of the party desig-
nations at the top of the ballot. Mr..
Bannon, who was defeated by about
120 votes, insists that ballots marked
only with cross opposite the designa-
ton republican" at the head of the
ticket, should not be counted for the
republican nominee for sheriff, and
that enough ballots so marked were
counted for his opponent to give him
a majority. It is a notable fact, how
ever that straight tickets were not
particularly popular at the present
election, and some estimates place the
number of such ballots in the entire
county at about a dozen. Although
Mr.. Damon may not be able to make
his conest hold good, he may hope by
litigation to h9ld onto the office until
the matter is determined, or until he
has the benefit of the fees of another
term of court at any rate. The law
provides for the calling Of a special
term Of court to be called within twen-
ty days in case of contest of an cleo
ton, and it is understood that Judge
Kneeshaw will call a special term as
soon as he is through with the present
term Of court at Langdon.

A number Of important surveys have
been made and there have been some
encouraging Developments, buu Moth
ing to warrant the assertion that irri-
cation will soon be an established fact
in the state. On the other hand, it re-
mains to be demonstrated that irri-
cation in the state will be a paying
investment, for it must be rendered
that Uncle Sam does not guarantee to
give any money to the state or to
those who would be benefited by irri-
cation, but may simply loan it. 1t
will be necessary to make number
of surveys before definite action can
be taken looking to the expenditure of
any money for actual irrigation work.

that the government will go slow.
