NEW HIGH SCHOOL.
A Strong Protest Against Common
 Brlck-Questlon of Appearance.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 To put common brick in the Birming- ham High school building when an addi- tional s4ooo or per cent would secure pressed brick and for an additional s10,00O or per cent would secure stone veneer, is not to line up to the present to say nothing of anticipating the future.
 Is there A church, club or an organ ization of any kind in this city that would build its home of common brick? Would common brick be used for mod ern high class store or hotel by any good business man of this city?--for his home if material other than wood were used? l think the labor, the location and the gradually growing appreciation of the beautiful and appropriate would In measure out of proposition to cost-be sacrificed
 Then again will we be satisfied with a mountain of common brick for our high school building and will we and those for whom we build be satisfied with it ten or fifteen years from now.

Billie West went out to investigate he found twelve or fifteen urchines of va rious sizes congregated at the door ready to take up their long vigil to hold places in the line until this morning at o'clock when the sale of seats for the engagement of Ben Hur' at the Jefferson theatre next week will begin. As the night wore on the crowd increased and at an early hour this morning the line had attained tc substantial proportions. Many people went down at o'clock to get place in the line, stood there until or 8 o'clock and were relieved by friends while they went to get breakfast. Manager Douglas was swamped with mail orders yester- day and from present indications the seats for all four performances will be gobbled up in short order. It is expected that everything will be sold out before tonight and those who are not enter prising enough to get In line, will have to depend on the doubtful chances of IS. R. O."

ADJUSTMENTS
Billy kersands.

Billy Kersands and bis colored min strel company gave a performance at the Jefferson theatre yesterday afternoon and last night The darktown contingent was out in full force on both occasions and enjoyed the show immensely. Last night there was quite a large attendance of white people also. The performance as a whole was creditable and was char acterized by some comedians who were really funny. The jokes perpetrated sounded new and brought the laughs, while the dancing of several members of the company, especially that of Camp bell brothers, was good. There were several entertaining numbers in the olio and the show compares favorably with some white troupes that have come through Birmingham and have played at higher prices. The company attempted little more than genuine negro minstrelsy and at that was very successful. The crowd was kept in a good humor last night and laughs were frequent.

Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1905-12-01

The opening of the winter along
the Missouri slope has been severe
but inasmuch as the same conditions
of storm have existed in all parts of
the northwest there is little to COM
plain of. AS far as the head of the
lakes severe storms have been re-
ported. Transportation lines have suf-
fered the usual difficulties but, consid-
ering all the conditions, have made
good progress toward getting their
tracks cleared of snow and resuming
operations. Probably no .Thanksgiv-
ing time for the past nine or ten
years has been characterized with
such severe weather. In 1896 there
was blizzard exceeding the one this
year in violence but lasting only
twelve or fourteen hours. The dura-
ton of the storm this year was lon
ger but atoned' for by the lesser sew

Of the supreme court, attorney gen
eral, r. S. Adams of Lisbon and
Henry Bowles of Velva. There are
thirty or forty applications to be con.
sidered by the board, but out of this
number only a few that will require
a very long consideration, inasmuch
as in many of the cases no recon-
mendations have been made by the
Judges and states attorneys before
whom and by whom the prisoners
were convicted. The application of s.

of the more important matters to
come before the board, and Hartzell
