BY Peoples Direct Vote.

Washington, April ia resolution
providing for the election of senators
by direct vote Of the people, has been
favorably acted upon by the commit
tee on elections, having in charge the
proposed changes in the election of
president, vice president and represen-
tatives in congress. The resolution,
which was introduced by Mr.. Morris,
of Nebraska, makes the term of men,
bers of the house four years, instead
of two. Both propositions are to be
accomplished by amendments to the
constitution. Reasons why the terms
of members should be four years, are
stated to be because no party can in.
augurate it's policy in two years.

SPEAKERS AT
HIGH SCHOOL
IRENE JOHNSON WINS CONTEST
WITH LYDIA ANDERSON
SECOND.

The preliminary declamatory con-
tests at the high school are over, and
Friday evening, April q, the final con-
test will occur and speaker select
ed to represent Fergus in this feature
at the inter-scholastic meet to be
held at Missoula next month. The con-
testants in the final will be Charles
Grupe, who stood first and Minnie
Coryell, who ranks second in the
first trial, and Irene Johnson
and Lydia Anderson, who stood first
and second in the trial held last week
There is great interest, both in and
out of the high school, in the result
of the final. Last year Charles Grupe
was the winner, and while he has
come through the trial successful this
year. he is by no means certain OF ul-
innate victory, as he will have to win
over several clever speakers in the
final before he can claim the honor
for the second time.
Friday Evenings Contest.
There was a large and appreciative
audience at the high school assembly

double selection by the high school

TO CELEBRATE
GLORIOUS 4TH.
PROPOSED TO HAVE BIG TIME IN
LEWlSTOWN ON HOLI-
DAY.

Believing that Lewistown will have
no fair this year, number of citizens
have, during the past few days, been
considering the desirability of having
a big celebration of the Glorious
Fourth, and although the matter has
not been taken up in any formal way,
the idea appears to meet with great
favor. Just as soon as it is definitely
determined that the fair is to be given
up this year, a meeting will doubtless
be called to begin making arrange
ments for the celebration.
Meets With Favor.
For some time Lewistown has not
paid any especial attention to this hol-
iday, preferring to join with the citi'
zens of the surrounding towns in their
celebrations. This custom grew out
of the fact that during fair week, the
whole county gave that event it's sup.
port, and it was considered wise to let
the other towns have the Fourth for
their gala day. The last big and Who'll
ly successful celebration of Independ.
ence day in Lewistown was in 1898
when the Black Eagle band was
brought over from Great Falls. The
celebration three years ago would
have eclipsed even that but for the
rainstorm, which put a damper on ev
erything.
Can Have Their Pick.
Should the plan now being discuss
ed be carried out, LewistOwn will bf
the first town in the state to take VI
the celebration of the day, and wouls
have its pick of the orators and 9th
er attractions necessary to complete
success. Many suggestions as to thes'
features will be made as soon as tn
matter takes definite shape.

of this particular wing over the bar

several wings preserved a discreet 81
lence. Mr.. De Kalb said there was no
doubt some merit in the railways
cause, as there was undoubtedly mer-
it in the peoples cause in this con-
troversy, but it must be admitted by
all the wings that there were real
wrongs, and the only solution was in

eusenburg Prods White.
Prof e. o. Busenburg unsheathed
sharp stick upon arising, and pro-
ceeded to use it upon B. c. White for
his endorsement of Roosevelt. He in.
sisted that nothing good could come
out of Republicanism, and that any
words of praise for Roosevelt at a
Democratic meeting were out of place.
This display of broadmindedness did
not arouse the enthusiasm of the au-
dience to anything bordering on the
riotous, and B. C. probably had shade
the better of the incident. The pro-
fessor next turned his attention to To-
cal affairs, and pronounced a panegy-
ric on County Attorney Roy E. Ayers
for suppressing gambling with a ruth
less hand in this county. 1t was a
fine and lofty sentiment, and made such
an impression on the company that
it was received in dead silence.

men are graduates Of standard col.
leges and military Institutes. They
live in the barracks with the cadets

diets is divided INTO three companies

one Of the very best to be found any

Another especially strong feature
of the New Mexico Military Institute
is the athletic attachments Of its ca
diets. They have one of the best base
ball teams that can be found in any
school of twice the number of stu
dents.
while but little work has been
lone toward organizing the team for
the coming season, the prospects are
good, and if nothing happens the ca
diets will be prepared to meet all com

warm enough for them to take pos

Major Luigi Northumberland Talks
on Merits of School.

on Merits of School.
Santa Fe New Mexican. Jan. %.
Among those who accompanied
Governor Herbert J.. Hagerman from
Roswell to this city Saturday was
Major Luigi Martini-Mancini,~ official
and instructor In the New Mexico
Military Institute and a warm per
sonal friend of the new executive.
Major Martini was born of noble
parents in Florence. Italy, and was
graduated from the National Military
School of that kingdom. He was com
missioned an officer in the Italian
army and served on the staff of the
Duke of Aosta. Later ne spent a year
in Madrid, Spain, In the diplomatic
service, where he mastered the Spa
nish language.
Hearing of the farming advantages
Sunshine Territory acros the big
pond" he resigned from military SER
vice, came to the Pecos Valley about
fifteen years ago undertook farm
ing. However, the change was too
much for him and, not being familiar
with agricultural methods in the
Southwest, he was forced to give up
agriculture and undertake other pur-
suits.
When the Military Institute was
opened at Roswell, the Spanish
course was made a strong feature of
The work, and Major Martini was Sc
lected to fill the chair. For the past
eight years he has been employed in
this capacity, and has made his work
speak for itself.
Major Martini was seen by a New
Mexican reporter at the Palace hotel
Sunday, and spoke enthusiastically
of the New Mexico Military Institute
and the work the school is doing in
advancing the educational interests
of the Territory. He said:
School Well Equipped.
"The school has steadily Improved
year by rear until it is as we'll equip
ped as any such school west of the
Mississippi river. In fact, in my esti-
nation, it is more modern and more
thorough than any military school in
the West. The buildings have been
enlarged and increased in numbe
from one to eight. All are substan-
tial structures peculiarly adapted for
the purposes of the school. New de-
partments have been added and new
equipment provided, and other i'm
provements will be made as soon as
possible.
During the present session 1873
cadets have been enrolled, the great
est number since the organization of
the Institute. About sixty applicants
have been refused admission because
of lack Of quarters. Applications have
been received from young men in al
most every state in the Union, but
the boys of the Territory are given
preference. Most of those refused adj
mission were from points in other
states.
Colonel James w. Wilson, super
intendent of the Institute, believes
that he will in the near future sue
coed in building up one of the largest
training schools in the whole West.
Should new buildings be erected dur
ing the year, it is expected that $50
cadets at least will be enrolled next
year. If strenuous advertising be
done, the number will doubtless be
greatly increased.
Little Advertised.
THE school is not advertised In
any of the periodicals, by which means
institutions of this class secure their
patronage. Advertising is done in the
