NEXT MEETING IN FARGO
Educational Association Convention
One Of the Best Yet Held.

.
GRAND FORKS. N. D.-The seventeenth an
nual meeting Of the North Dakota Educational
association came to close last evening. In
many respects the gathering was the most note
worthy ever held in the state. The attendance
was the largest and the class of educators repre-
scented was certainly of much higher standard
than has been present at a similar gathering in
this state.
The exhibits far surpassed any ever before
seen in this state. One reason for this was
the prize offered by the state for the best
showing made by any school. as this was the
the educational exhibit from North Dakota for
the St. Louis exposition next year. The final
decision, however, will be made at Fargo in
March, when several other schools which did not
participate here will have exhibits. The next

The association adopted resolutions approving.

BIG SAVING MADE
BY WISCONSIN
ECONOMICAL ADMINISTRATION
BY COMMISSIONERS HOST.
state Is Now Carrying the Bulk of Its
Own Insurance, Made Possible BY
"a New Law-Receipts of the De-
partment Largely in Excess of 1902
New Appointment to Board OF
University Regents.

MADISON. wIS.-The state insurance
department did a fourishing business last
year Its receipts were $5O3 ,6S1 40, against
s4ss, 900 in 1902 and $435,000 in 1901. This
big increase in revenues is due largely to
the economical administration OF Commits
sioner Host and to some changes IN the
state laws last winter.
The most important Of the new laws
thatswent into effect during the year was
the one providing that the state should
carry it's own insurance. The law went
into effect July 1 last, and provides that
an insurance equal to 80 per cent of the
actual value of the various state buildings
the capitol, state charitable and penal
institutions and state university buildings
shall be carried by the state.
The rate Is the average of those OF
stock policies on the different buildings.
The stock policies are to be allowed to
expire in their natural order and to be
replaced by state insurance. Since the
law went into effect the state has ac-
cumulated an insurance fund Of s6.59S.51,
and hus suffered no loss. 1t carries So, 2S3,-
6s5 Of It's own insurance and has stock
policies yet amounting to $2,206,1!5.
Banker on the Board.
Governor La Toilette has appointed Lu-
Glen s.. Hanks, leading banker Of Mad
ison, as a member Of the state board OF
university regents, to fill Sthe vacancy
caused by the death Of Breese J. Stevens.
The appointment is Tor the term enolnR
the first Monday in February, 1905. Mr.
Hanks has previously served one term on
the board.
Large General Fund.
The general fund of the state treasury
contained 1851, O33. So at the close Of bust
ness last night, against $3.50, 50S.'6 on the
same date a year ago. All OF the current
expenses of the state, amounting to abou
$4,000, 900 a year, come out Of this fund
The reason it is so much larger now thar
a year ago Is because of the payment O
$45S. 900 from the government on the Wis
consln war claim and the increased re
ceipts from railroad taxes and othe
sources.
In order to keep the state take
down this year, the administration recent
ly ordered 100000 transferred from TIL
general fund to the state tax fund pur
poses This transfer will not be made un
til next month. Considering this transfer
there is really only balance Of about $11,
900 in the general fund now. -
