HONESTY OF THE CHINESE
That They Possess This Trait Trav- eler in Their Country Gives Evidence.

The route lay directly through the heart of the "Hung-hutze" country, which was at that time in a state of disorder. AS had no passport to travel in that locality. writes T. F. Willard, in the Far New East, was forced to conceal myself in one of those instruments of torture known as Peking cart. my luggage occupying another. The arrangements were made by Christian friend of mine IL. Mukden, who committed me to the care of an old carter. with instructions for him to get me across the bor fer. We left Mukden just before the dawn one morning, and travelled for two days, finally arriving safely in neutral territory. Two nights I slept in vil- lages infested by "Hung-hutzes." It would have been a simple matter for them to have made away with me and seized my effects. and my carters coul1 have easily betrayed me without teas of detection. But such was my conn- dence in the integrity of the Chinese that I did not feel the slightest un- easiness. although was entirely un- armed. During the entire trip was compelled to trust absolutely to tho old carter. not being able to hold sn? communication with him. as he did not understand a word of English or any other foreign language. and I cannot speak Chinese. He showed great eiev- erness in getting me across the Lilac river, past the Cossack border guards. without being detected: and when we arrived at Sin-min-tin he seemed even more pleased than myself. and refused 10 accept any remuneration in excess of the sum agreed upon.

Commercial Products of Lava.

Lava. like diversity. has its uses. It may be blown into opaque bottles of gossamer lightness. and the hard CT sort makes beautiful green glass of half the weight and double the strength of ordinary glass But it is not always the same. Every volcano pours out its own special brand of molten mixture. dIsagreeable to meet on your walks. but sometimes yield ing precious products. as ponzzolano and pumice stone.

INTERESTING WEEK
FOR SCHOLARS
COMING
Graduation Week in the City
Schools Will be One Of
Enjoyment.

The approach of the closing season
for the public schools revives again
the interest in the matter of school
graduations. The city schools will be
in the very front In the way Of pre-
senting an interesting program. Dur
ing the week of May 28-June Q, the
state examinations will be given. The
week following these will be devoted
entirely to commencement work. On
Tuesday evening, June 5, the eighth
grade will present a splendid play, the
plot and cast of characters of which
will be the best ever offered to the
people of the city. On Wednesday
evening the high school cantata will
be rendered. This is one of the best
local musical productions 80 far Of
fered, and will be decidedly rich

artistic rendition of beautiful COM
position.
The graduation exercises proper

MRS. BOLLEY'S ADDRESS.
She Spoke on Civic Work in the Euro.
penn and British Cities.

Students of the agricultural college
listened to an interesting talk on civic
conditions in this country and in Eu-
rope at the chapel recently. The
speaker was Mrs. H. L. Bolley. With
Professor Bolley, Mrs. Bolley has
travelled considerably in Europe and
has had an excellent opportunity to
study life and conditions both on the
continent and in England and her
comparisons of the cities of the old
world with those in this country were
not very f1attering to American mu-
inequalities.
From the standpoint of beauty and
hygiene conditions in the cities of
Europe are much better than they are
here according to Mrs Bolley. She
spoke particularly of the methods IF
hauling garbage and sewage in vogue
there. All refuse matter in the great
majority of European cities is dispos-
ed OF at crematory and in many
cases furnishes sufficient fuel to run
the electric light plant which is own
ed by the municipality. Expectora-
ton in the public streets and in pub
lie conveyances forbidden by law
and the law is rigidly enforced.
The working people in many of the
European cities are offered frequent
opportunities to attend free concerts
where they have the privilege of lis
tening to music furnished by the very
best artists. Railroads come into the
cities for the most part by the under
ground route Otherwise the stations
are located in the outskirts and the
smoke nuisance is largely abated.
There is something to learn even
from the cities of darkest Russia. In
Moscow, for instance. all the business
at the public market place is transact
ed in the early morning and by $3.50
the stalls and walks about the market
are cleared and thoroughly scrubbed
SO that they present very clearly
appearance.
The adoption of these plans all tend
to do away with filth and the danger
OF the spread of disease

A STEAM PLOW
INVENTOR
Patent Issued to John M. Mcclure Of
Joliet, N. D.-Daniel Dow. Well
known Foundry man and G. f. Ogg,
Purchase Half Interest,

John Willard Mcclure of Joliet, N.
D., has been granted patent on his
invention of steam pillow and half
interest in his right has been purchas-
ed by Daniel Dow, the well-known
Grand Forks foundryman, and by Geo.
f, Ogg, also of this city, where the
machines are to be manufactured and
an agency for their sale established.
Mr.. Millard's patent covers only the
pillow attachment, which will be con-
structed in series of s, 10 or -, 16-inch
plows. Some Of the machines have al
ready been built and one or two are
now working in the Canadian north
west. They are built to be hauled by
traction engines and will turn any
depth of furrow that may be desired.
One man can operate the plows, which
are raised or lowered by single
lever. Those who have observed the
machines at work are warm in their
praise and venture that the financial
reward of the inventors and manufac-
turers will be large.

STORY RATHER
QUEER
Citizens of Emerald Armed With Gar.
den Rakes, Hose. etc, Join in Sue.
ccssful Man Hunt-TwO Men Ar.
rested Tell Peculiar Stories.

Two men, one giving his name as
Davis and his destination as Fargo
where he intended enlisting in the
United States army, and the other
Ward, were arrested in the village of
Emerald Tuesday evening after an ex-
citing chase in which the town mar
shall, George Seibert and about half the
citizens, armed with garden rakes,
hoes and clubs participated, and were
later brought to this city and lodged
in the county Jail where they now are
The story OF the town marshal is
that Ward, who with Davis was steal
ing ride on freight train, had some
words with the conductor and when
ordered off, pulled out big revolver
and threatened to blow the railroad
mans head off. if bothered any more
This was near the village limits of
Emerald.
Ward tells a different story.
He admits stealing ride but says
that while standing on the bumpers
between two cars, the conductor of the
freight train on which he and Davis
were riding, came along and ordered
him off. The train was moving and
Ward was afraid to jump and told the
trainmen so. The latter, however, he
says, leaned down and kicked him in
the face, forcing him off. This act on
the part of the railroad man. Ward
says, was followed by the shooting of
revolver in his direction whereat he
pulled out his pipe and pointing it at
the one doing the shooting, warned
him to stop or he would blow his head
into the next county. Davis was not
mixed in the melee but was ordered
by the trainmen to help in catching
Ward. He refused and was afterward
arrested in company with the other
man.
States Attorney Wineman has the
cases of the two men under consider
alton. Whether he will decide to hold
them for the aSival of the train crew
tomorrow morning, or not, does not
appear The evidence of the train
men will probably show different
state of affairs from what has been
recited by the accused. Davis claims
to be baseball player and Deputy
Sheriff Mahon suggests that he might
be sentenced to join the Duluth team
after Grand Forks gets through with
it this afternoon.
