Would Teach State History.

q. R. Steinbrueck would teach
scholars in the schools a history oil
the state and writes the following
communication to the Grand Forks
Herald:
The first object in teaching history
to the young beginning scholar is tt
make him familiar with the history Of
his own country. Likewise, it seems
to me but proper, that any historical
society should take up, first of al
other, the history of it's own state
Particularly If financial means are
scarce, economy is very desirable
and the money to be invested fol
real benefit and for success is to be
handled carefully. While even the
choice of subjects for study of the
history of the home state, in its diff
ferent branches, may lead to by.
roads, that branch which seems to be
necessarily taken up first of all
others, and followed to it's end before
entering another, is to be chosen
wisely.
There are things of the past. Only
indications are left for investigation
and study from which to draw conclu-
sions, by comparing facts found with
ancient records more or less indis-
tinctly given. If these facts, as most
successful agents in helping to estab-
lish truth, at present existing and
easy in reach, are liable to be made
unapproachable for some reason or
other in the near future, it seems
surely wise to avail of these facts be-
fore 1t Is too late, leaving us mourn
ers. The earliest history of this
state in regard to it's ancient &C.
cupants, aborigines extinct, gone, or
living forth in their successors, the
history of the early white settlers
with all their troubles and advent
ures and experiences, is unknown to
the multitude of our times. Fame or
hearsay renders the only dim image
to the most knowing but little about
it.
There is before the present genera
ton an humble sketch of some of
the historical work to be attended to
and to be chosen from In proper no
tation. The Mandan Indians are ex-
tinct as an organization. The few re-
naming OF that once populous tribe
soon will disappear out of view by.
intermarriage with other tribes. The
last tints Of that peculiar character
of these interesting Indians Of times

and distorted, viii fade away entirely.

number are left, soon viii 90 the way

try, viii 60 with them 10 Lethe. II not

sane-Next Meeting. .e...'
A meeting of the Medical society
of the 9Th judicial district was held
in this city on March 14th.
j. A very interesting program was
given, followed by a banquet.
The question of the care of the in.
sane by the general practitioner and
the present methods Of commitment
were discussed at length. It was the
opinion Of the society that our pres
ent methods of detention OF insane
patients and their transportation to
the hospital for the insane should be
changed. At each county seat an at
tractive room should be fitted up,
where patients could be detained,
giving the physicians an opportunity
to WATCH the patient foN q time If neces-
sary, and where patient could be
cared for without apparent restraint,
it being much against the well be-
ing of most insane cases to be put in
jail or under restraining apparatus
such as handouts. AL.
In the transportation OF an insane
case to the hospital for the insane, a
trained attendant from the hospital
should be sent to have charge of
patient. -9E
This change would mean but little
added expense to our present meth
DDS and in our opinion Is a change
much to the interest of the public.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE NOTES.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE NOTES.
Interesting Gossip Regarding Events
Transpiring During Past Week at
the Fargo Institution.
. Agricultural College, N. D., March
interesting account of trip
to the Tuskegee Institute was given
in the college chapel last Monday by
President Mcfarland of the Valley
City normal. The speaker attended
the meeting of the National Educa.
tional Association held in Atlanta
during February of last year. After
the close of the convention as a mem.
Der of large party Of educators he
visited the famous institution of
which Booker T. Washington is presi-
dent.
President Washington was de-
scribed as strong, attractive and
interesting personalities man whom
it is delight to meet. He has a
winning manner and remarkable
ability to recognize and remember
the name of any one he has ever met.
Under his efficient management and
unusual abality as an instructor the
Tuskegee Institute has developed to
degree of practical utility for the
systematic training and education of
the black race that promises well to
become the means of solving the
negro question.
Every member of the faculty of
this institute, the speaker continued,
is negro or of negro descent. There
are representatives, graduates from
Yale, Harvard and a great many
other of the best schools of the coun-
try. The faculty numbers 125 and
forms corps of very able and con-
scientious workers.
The institute has 81 buildings that
are we'll equipped for all branches of
instruction for its 1900 students.
The college Of Agriculture has farm

Der of horses, cows for large dairy,
and other farm stock
Saturday, Professor c. B. Waldron
of the horticultural department joins
a special train that the Northern Pa
cific is sending out along its main
line, with the idea of deciding upon
the location of snow breaks.
1t is their intention to replace the
old fashioned break by tree planta-
tons and it is expected that. these
will prove more satisfactory and more
economical and finally entirely re-
place the old forms of protection
against the SHOWS.
The papers in the dairy contest
were handed in by the 18th, and were
on that day forwarded to the judges
who are Professors e. H. Harrington
of Madison, Wisconsin, e: E. Kauf-
man of Bismarck, and M. j. Cort of
The judges are expect
ed to have made their gradings by
the 18th and on the 23d. Mr.. Allen,
instructor in charge, will present the
with medals. These medals
one gold and two silver, are at pres
emit on display at Sundberg's jewelry
store and are Of a very attractive and
unique design.
Fulfilling all the promises made
for 1t last week, the defamation con-
test between the two literary socie-
ties proved to be one Of very excep-
tional merit. The attendance and In.

veloped at such entertainments at
this college and the contestants were
well worthy Of such an audience. The
first and second places were decided

killed by a second explosion.
The work of removing the burned
and charred remains of the men has
begun and the scene around the
mines is one OF horror. Agonized
mothers, wives and other relatives Of
the unfortunate men are there to
identify their relatives who have met
death in the awful trap and the scene
is a most pitiful one.

The college orchestra and quar-
tette composed Of Mrs. McArdle, Miss
Reid, Prof. McArdle and DR.. Putnam

proved very popular, the quartette in
particular being forced to respond to

The rivalry engendered in the de-
clamation contest, was the direct
cause of challenge from the
Philomathian society to the Athen-
ians for a basket ball contest be-
tween girls and boys teams from
each society. The games were play
ed last evening, the Philomathians
winning both games very easily.
The basket ball season just closed
has been very successful one for
the agricultural college. Both the
boys and the girls teams have
played the fastest kind of ball and
their record for the season is one of
which they may be pound. The girls
won all of their games except those
with the university. The boys easily
captured the college championship of
the state and at the end of the sea-
SON it is very probable that they
could have beaten any team in the
northwest.
Professor Richards has been con-
fined to his room this week with the

were treated in a comprehensive and
instructive manner.

considered, especial attention being
paid to the prescription counters and
work rooms. Fargo has number Of
excellent stores managed by compe-
tent men and much information OF
value was obtained by the boys.
During the coming summer Prot
Holley intends to continue these in

LEGISLATIVE FINALE.


the Work. I'D. u.
The work of closing up the rec
ords of the late legislative session is
about completed. The journals of
both houses have been written and
the indexing nearly completed. AS
usual the journal work was somewhat
behind, though, be it said to the
credit of the employees in charge of
that duty, the books were in much
better shape than has been the case
in some previous sessions, still the
journals of the last few days were
very large and entailed an immense
amount of labor in their transcribing
and proving. Those employed in this
work since the close Of the session
were Secretary l.. M. McGlashan,
Assistant Secretary James Twamley.
S. G. Skulison and Miss DeGraff on
the senate journal, and Chief Clerk
Saugstad, Chief Enrolling and En-.
crossing Clerk w. A. Kelley and his
first assistant, ]. I. Roop, for the
house. They have been diligent in
their work and exceeding careful ana
there is every assurance that the
records are correct. /.
In the prospective departure of the
gentlemen above named the Tribune
takes pleasure in testifying to their
merit as state employees: At all
times they have been attentive to
duty and courteous gentlemen. Mr..
McGlashan. has been a resident of
Bismarck and all can testify to his
popularity, and to his efficiency in
his chosen profession. Mr.. Twamley
is a resident Of Grand Forks, has
been behind the senate desk in other
sessions and has made himself de.
servedly popular with all whom he
has met. S. G. Skulison "did'' the
legislature for the first time this
winter in thsscapacity of stenograph-
er. He is one of the bright young
lawyers recently graduated from the
state university, and made many
friends in and out of the legislature.
Chief Clerk Saugstad is a new star
in the house clerkship armament. He
Is from Grand Forks county, which
has placed several of her sons at the
head Of the house clerical force.
Though new at keeping the lawmak-
ing records he acquitted himself with
success and to the general satisfac-
ton Of the house members and goes
home. leaving many friends in the
Capital City. w. A., Kelley Is from
Trail county; he has had charge of
the, enrolling and engrossing force
before and has been. a clerk in the
house for 10 these many years, which
Is 9 strong guarantee Of his popular
tty. He is one OF the best fellows
ever. J. ]. Roop, Mr.. Kelley's assist.
ant, has had previous experience in
the house clerkship line. He comes
from Emmons county, which means
he has hustling abilities and is gem
orally popular. Miss DeGraff is one
OF Bismarck's handsome and popular
young society ladies whom all home
readers OF the Tribune know.

w. F. Lehrke hauled a load Of flax to
town. This to our eastern readers
may not look like an interesting
item, but when they understand that
this is the first load of grain ever
raised and brought to market in
Billings county, it will look different.
For the past two years farmers have
raised grain here but have been un-
able to market 1t because Of there be.
ing no threshing machine in the
county. Now, however, the condi.
tions are changed and Mr.. Lehrke
has proven himself the pioneer grain
raiser and Mr.. Martin, who bought
the grain enjoys the distinction of
being the first grain buyer in Billings
county. The price paid for the flax
was $1.25 per bushel. 80

date all those who attended court
