WAHPETON MAN GETS ~. .. ~.
MEDAL FOR BRAVERY

Wahpeton. N. d., April 24.-Otto
Boehler of Wahpeton has been notified
that he has been awarded a congress
'sional medal for conspicuous bravery,
while a member of Young's scouts in
the Filipino campaign. Sixteen of
Young's scouts surprised and put to
rout band of Goo Filipinos and cap
tured a village occupied and fortified
by them. t... II -.5
A letter of the same import as that
received by Boehler came from the
secretary of war addressed Frank Des-
mond. Desmond is believed to be dead.
He was discharged from Co. I of the
North Dakota regiment at Manila Il at
the close Of the war, and immediately
re-enlisted in the Thirty-sixth infantry.
1t is reported here that Desmond was
killed iii later engagement. Desmond
enlisted at Wahpeton, but nothing is
known here Of his kinfolks.
Desmond, Boeiller and FOUR other sol
diers of the North Dakota regiment
participated iii the charge for which the
medal was awarded General Lawton
requested that these men be awarded
the congressional medal, but the re-
quest was turned down once by board
composed of regular army officers, who
are said to have been averse to vol
unteers. Recently, however, the mat
fer has been taken up by the war de-
tpartrnent. and the recommendation of
the lamented Lawton was ordered car
sried out. s

Waste Paper in Fargo Has
Become a Dangerous Nuisance

Where does all Of this waste paper
come fron?''
This is a question which is asked
frequently just now, and the cause is,
that on all sides, on the streets. vacant
lots and every conceivable place is
found all manner of litter in the shape
of old newspapers, paper bags and
wrapping paper. Il
There is but little more waste paper
thrown out today than there was ten
years ago, yet the result to the streets
is more noticeable and many have been
looking around for the reason.
I'Is it because the people Of Fargo
are careless Of the appearance of the
Icity?p is asked
4 'Is it because the city authorities are
negligent" 2"
An investigation would lead to the
belief that a negative answer should be
given to both questions.
1t is most likely because people in
the uptown districts have no place to
burn the refuse paper, and throw it ott
in the streets for lack of another place.
In times past, there was located III
every place of business in the city a
furnace or stove of some kind and in
these were burned all of the waste.
Now different condition exists. Near
by all places Of. business are connected
with the central heating station and
furnaces and stoves are no longer nee
essary Al person can count on his
fingers the few places of business where
stoves or furnaces are to be found in
service. and it is a notable fact that
but little waste paper originating from
those places, is to be found on the
streets.
In a few of the blocks are provided
boxes in which tenants are. invited to
throw waste paper, but how much more

convenient it is to throw the litter into
she streets. i"s
Without the cooperation of citizens,
the Fargo white wing brigade, which is
limited on account OF the resources of
|the city, is powerless and the citizens
should realize this fact s.t,-e
I Something must be done. Citizens
are unanimous in this belief. A few
have taken it upon themselves to build
fires out of doors and burn the refuse
paper. Then the chief OF. the fire de-
partment takes a hand. He informs the
citizens that such procedure erdangers
property interests and rightly demands
that the fires be extinguished. But the
chief acts without the law behind him.
There is no adequate city ordinance
prohibiting the burning of refuse in the
streets, alleys or in vacant lots, and this
brings the matter to the suggestion of
a well known citizen and heavy prop
erty owner - E@....@
"Theg city council should take some
action" he said. "The condition of the
city. demands that something should be
done and at once. s%'- s.. 5f-
"Just to what extent the council
should proceed, am not prepared or
willing to say But one of the first
things should be. I think, the passage
of an ordinance prohibiting the burning
of waste paper in the streets, alleys,
back yards or vacant lots except under
certain conditions. 49, s..-: .....
"Another measure should prohibit the
throwing out of waste paper and the
providing Sof penalty for the viola
tion of the measure ~ ;,>z ..s
with two such ordinances in effect
/ the city officials should be held to strict
account for the enforcement of the
measure and the civic pride of every
one should result in the officers receiv

STANDARD Oil
INVESTIGATION
GARFIELD HAS FILED
AN EXTENDED REPORT
1t Is Regarded as the Climax Of the
Sensational Investigations Conduct
ed by the Department Some Of the
Charges Immunity Claims.

Chicago, April 24 The Chicago
Tribune publishes the following Wash
ington special:
Beyond question, the monumental
economic sensation of this era Of SEN
sations is the report Of the Standard
Oil monopoly, which at last has been.
submitted to the president BY Comriis7
sioner Of Corporations Garfield.
This report represents the result Of
fourteen months patient investigations
by Commissioners Garfield and numer-s
Gus secret agents. These officials have
ransacked every oil field in this coul-
try, almost every state in the country.
and even have visited Europe for irl7
formation to enable them to describe
clearly and impartially the operations
Of the most colossal combination OF
modern times.
The information has been incorpor-I
ated in voluminotis report, and 1t
will BE sent by the president to con-
gress, probably during the present
week or early next week, lin order that
it may guide that body in the enact
ment Of remedial legislation for some
Of the evils disclosed In the mean
time, it is being considered by the pres
ident and the attorney general with a
view To the institution Of legal pro-
ceedings against the officers of the
Standard Oil and various railroads
with which they have been in collu-
sion.
a The facts which the report presents
establish that the Standard Oil Co
has been guilty of:
Granting and receiving rebates.
Restraining trade and commerce.
Crushing competition.
lit would seem upon the facts brought
to light that there could be no qucs-
tionSof the prosecution of the company
and its officers and the railroads and
their officers with which they have been
in collision. But in the early stages
oil the investigation Mr.. Garfield tIl-
fortunately pursued the same meth
ods he observed in the inquiry he made
into the beef trust. He personally
went to Kansas, to California, to
Cleveland and 70 New York and talk
ed with the officers Of the Standard
Oil--not all Of them, to be siirebut
with Rockefeller and some Of the 9TH
ers higher up.
The men he saw Will claim immunity
for Themselves iii the event sof prose
clition and for the other officers s'blatl-
ket immunity to quote the Humphrey
decision iii the beef packers case At-
torney EiehefaI Moody and Mr. Gar
field ihaSb discussed this question, and
the next few days will determine
whether or not the government viii
& take ie gal action.

Was thrown open to the house for dis
CusSion ANA the ultimate confusion
reached was of course. the only one
possible in the light of the numerous
existing demonstrations Of its truth:
viz, that the lack of Il college cduca-
ton does not debar a man from great
accomplishments along the line of
invention.
some p"opl" never appear to grasp
the fact that colleges do not advcr-
tbs" to furnish brains for those with
whom Nature has dealt unkindly in
that respect; ANA that colleges make
no claim of ability to implant genius.
or even Il small talent. where none
existed aforctimc. BY them the fact
mat Il man has managed to secure a
Sh""pSkin from some college is az
r"ctcd To cover a multitude of Inmate
mental shortcomings. If an individua,
collcG" graduate of ordinary native
ability is surpassed by a non college
man of rather extraordinary ability,

accustomed to turn up their noses

ana that colleges can neither bcstow
them nor take them away.

not to transform cerebral chaos into
