months the Metliodists of the state have
been agitated by the talk of removal,
and many towns in the state have had
ambitions to be the home Of the Meth
Eodist institution. -,
The agitation was started by DR..
Robertson, president of the Wahpeton
school, and President Merrifeld OF the
Fstate university, who evolved plan
for affiliating the two institutions. The
school here was to be closed and the
Methodists were to build small build
ing on the state university campus and
pay two or three professors who were
to teach bible history and other branches

AT meeting of the board of trustees in

what place was not decided. ,.'.., 5J.tEe
Since that time opposition to the
Grand Forks plan has been growing
stronger. and at meeting last week
the board of regents of the state univer-
sity refused to indorse the memoranda
entered into by the presidents of the
two institutions. This action practically
kills the afiliation idea. E.....

will be arranged before the meeting
of the trustees. about May 10. and that

danger of this main sewer, whose unsanitary condition is a subject of general alarm, prompts action upon the part of the council. The city has used Fifth street as a dumping ground for the whole city, and it would be no more than just and right for it to bear the expense of sewerage from Walnut to the lake on Fifth street. Thirty-six inch pipe would be necessary, though twelve inch fills the require ments on other streets, and it would be very unjust to make the property owners on said street pay for such piping.
 The present condition of this drain, with summer close at hand, when the foulness of it's stenches become even worse, urge upon the council prompt action.

SUIT REVERSED
 AND REMINDED.

In the proceedings of the su- preme court Saturday Justice E. A. McCulloch delivered the opin- ion of the court in the case of w. c. Johnson ct al versus Jeff Gill linwater on appeal from the Woodruff chancery court, the case being reversed and remand ed. Hon. Gustave Jones was the attorney for the appellants in their successful appeal.
 This action originated in a suit in equity by Johnson to enjoin the enforcement of a judgment in which he claimed the lumber involved in the suit had been mortgaged to him before the la bor upon the lumber was per formed by the appellee.
 The supreme court held that the pleadings and the proof pre- sented no ground for the inter- position of a court of equity, as the object of the suit was not to foreclose the mortgage in equity, but the prayer was that further proceedings under the judgment be enjoined, holding that the chancellor erred in rendering a decree against the appellants for the amount of appellee $ judgment debt against the River side Lumber Company.

CITY SHOULD ASSIST.

Many of the property owners have taken upon themselves the expense of sewerage by the lay ing of pipes in place of the old surface ditches. The movement goes to show the general de- mand for sewerage, but the lay ing of such pipe will make sur face water drainage a more seri- ous issue than before unless the council takes action to provide manholes in every block.
 Beginning at the school house at the corner of Fifth and Wal nut streets, the street ditch be- comes a veritable sewerage canal for the whole city,. and it's con- dition is a menace to the health of the school children as we'll as to the residents along Fifth street toward the lake. The

PROMISES
 FARMERS PARDONS
For Violation of Provisions of Recent Antitrust
 Enactment.

Danville, April 16. Governor Davis spoke here yesterday in the interest of the Southern Cot- ton association to a large gather ing of farmers and business men. He said in part: Relieve your brother when he says he will re- duce his acreage; then go and do likewise; diversity, organize; make the buyer run after you to buy your cotton instead of you running after him.
 The governor advised his hear CTS to keep out of politics; that politics would ruin anything. He said that it was all bosh about the cotton association coming under the provisions of the anti trust law; that if it did he would pardon all the farmers convicted of combining to raise cotton prices. He said there was such a thing as to legislate for pros perity. He was in favor of making it a felony to run a bucket shop. He told the farm4 CTS they had a hard fight; that their fight was against the soul- less corporation, but for them to keep it up.
 The governor was cheered throughout his talk, and wound up by saying he would have to quit or go to talking politics, and that would not do.

Mariana, April 16. No con- clusion has been reached yet in the trial of the case of the state versus John V. Roberts. The , ca~elhas not yet gone to the jury. Argument was begun yesterday before a packed court house, many being turned away, but not terminated. Monday morn ing Col. George w. Murphy will speak for the defense and Hon. s. Brundidge, IT,, will close for the state.
 Prosecuting Attorney Andrews spoke an hour yesterday after noon. He covered the testimony on each side and said it was a peculiar case and a very un- pleasant duty he owed to the peo- pie of his district.
 We didn't introduce Doctor Lightle's testimony and if this jury thinks his statement was true turn the defendant loose," said the speaker. The state asked for a conviction on the tes- timony of Gregory, Deener and Nicely.
 Judge M. M. Stuckey of New port delivered an eloquent speech for the defense. He asked the jury to either believe the defend- ants mother and two sisters or a "perjured villain,'' according to his own statement. He ap- pealed to the jury in strong, patheticsterms to disbelieve Greg ory and the states other two main witnesses.
