SCHOOL
TROUBLES

The surprising announcement made yes
tsrday OF the hopeless Insolvency OF the
corporation conducting the far famed
Nautical Preparatory school was, so
IL appears. kept carefully out or hearing
aboard the Pennsylvania" at anchor In
P.istol harbor and the students remained
In utter ignorance OF the reversal that
had blghted the prospects OF the scheme
throughout the day
The formalities incident TO the passing
OF the vessel into the hands OF the re-
ceiver were so quietly conducted that the
larger part Of the officers. Instructor and
crew were not aware OF the dismal
collapse of the venture The news, how
ever. spread with great rapidlty among
the teaching force and the corps Of in
structors was a gloomy lot OF fellows
when the significance OF the thing was
realized They all saw their finish" 3"
IL is a practical impossibility TO secure
a satisfactory position In the teaching
profession after the season OF school
activity has progressed thus far and the
outlook for the young men who now are
"out OF a job" is far from encouraging.
There is a feeling among them that they
could reasonably seek legal redress for the
disaster that present conditions bring 10
them. But the idea is not favorably en-
| tertained by the more conservative Of the
| teaching force.
The officers and crew are In much the
| same fix and the sentiments regarding
/ the chances for receiving salaries already
\ due are unanimously shared and not
/ cheerful.
The student body passed the night IN

1t IS even considered by wise poll
ticians. that Mr.. Hearst's chances
would be most excellent, even
though New York should be carried
by the Republican candidate, which
would not be at all likely. But how
ever that might be, there is no cam
didatc whose loyalty to true Demo-
cratic principles appeals more
strongly to Southern democrats than
does that Of William Randolph

Of Mr.. Hearsts strength in the
South. there seems to be no queS-

The agitation by the friends Of
Mr.. Hearst is not of recent develop
mcnt in the South, as he has for
several months been the leading and
tavOrite candidate for the Presiden-
cy, and this choice springs from the
very heart of the masses in recogni-
ton of his splendid services in the
cause of Democracy and his fight
against every Republican engine of
oppression. And the people may
expect an able champion in their

Shipments Of Stock Must Be Free
After This Month.
The Government Inspector Is After Person,
Who Have Been Using Ills Cloak to Extort
Money From Farmers.

DR.. j. j. l.. Heldring OF Hankinson,
inspector for the government bureau
of animal industry for this section,
had short talk with the Republican
the other day. In the course of his
conversation he said:
"Until the last day of this month
stock will be inspected and allowed
to be shipped without dipping, for
slaughter or feed purposes, provided
they are free from scabbies. After
that date the department reserves
the right to make the amendments it
deems necessary for preservation of
health among the live stock of the
country.
Eyes, it must be explicitly under
stood that the inspection is free of
charge, as is also the supervision of
dipping in case this proves necessary.
During the past few months 1 have
frequently been approached by ship
pers in both North and South Dakota
asking what would be my charges
for inspecting their stock. Com.
plants have come to me that at
tempts had been made by persons,
not in the employ of the government,
to extort money from the farmers,
to fix the inspector, as they termed
it. was unable to gain the names
of such persons, but they we're badly
mistaken if they think that inspectors
in the bureau of animal industry can
be fixed. All persons that have been
approached by individuals pretend
ing to have such influence would do
we'll to inform the authorities, 80 that
an end may be put to this form OF
graft"

Happy rIeeting Of Oh Friends.

Dr.. and Mrs. f. w. Brook Of Port
land, Oregon, we're the guests of their
cousin, B. L. Adamson and wife of
Ludden for several days while on
their way home from a very pleasant
trip thru the United States. They
took in the principal cities of the
country, including Oakes, and had a
most enjoyable outing. The gentle-
men had not met in thirty-two years.
They had romped together as school
boys in Ohio, but in early boyhood
drifted apart. DR.. Brook has been
in the West fifteen years, and is not
only a prominent and successful ply
sician of Portland, but interests him
self much in large dairy ranch
which he owns in Oregon. The visit
lasted three days and they were ex-
ceedingly happy ones for our friend
Adamsou.
