SCHOOL GIRLS
ON WITNESS
STAND

The prosecution in the Sloane
case this morning called Miss Hat
tie Bigelow, a high school class
mate of Sidney Sloane. She said
she recited with him and in her
opinion he was perfectly sane. She
often conversed with him, but his
conversations were not very
lengthy. Before she was ever in
troduced to Sidney he stared so
long at her on several occasions
that it very much embarrassed her.
One time in a class discussion of a
novel by George Elliot Sidney sur
prised them all by stating his ad-
miration for the coward.
Miss Ruth Snyder, daughter of
ex-Councilman Jack Snyder, and a
high school classmate of Sidney,
said she believed him sane. He
was much alone at school. She
didn't know why other boys did not
mingle with him, but the girls did
not because he had a very bad
reputation. She noticed him one
time staring at her and the glance
was insulting rather than curious.
She caused litter during her
cross examination by correcting
Attorney Robertson's grammar. AS
soon as Miss Snyder got out Of the
court room she became hysterical.

ROOSEVELT IS AWARDED NOBEL PRIZE OF $4,000 FOR ENDING JAP WAR;
He DEv0TES IT TO PROMOTION Of INDUSTRIAL PEACE BY ARb|TRA

y WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 10
The president today received the
Nobel prize for $4,000 cash, con-
ferred for his service in ending the
Russo-Japanese war. Roosevelt is
unwilling to profit financially by
his efforts, so he decided to de-
vote the money to the promotion
of industrial peace in this coun-
try. He will appoint trustees,
probably Chief Justice Fuller and
Secretaries Wilson and Strauss, to
administer the funds.
The president will select two
men, one of whom is John Mitchell.
The other is not selected, but he
will be a man conspicuous among
capitalists for fair dealings. This
commission is to do all in it's pow
er by arbitrator and otherwise to
settle labor disputes and promote
Industrial peace.
At the end of year these men
will select two other men dis
tinguished for efforts toward in.

dustrial peace, and at the end OF
the third year the four will select
two more of the same caliber. The
first two will then resign and be
succeeded by the two last select
ed. Two members will resign ev-
cry year thereafter, each pair serv-
ing three years, leaving always a
committee of six. There will be no
rules laid down for the commits
sion. Everything will be judged
by results.
The Nobel prize is an annual
award made for what is adjudged
to be the greatest accomplishment
for the good Of mankind during the
period. 1t was founded by Charles
Nobel, the great Norwegian inven-
tor.
At Christiana, Norway, this
morning the parliament formally
rendered the American ambassador
the prize, to be transmitted to the
president.

that in most soils the blowing should
be done very early in the fall. and the
soils should be dragged quickly after
blowing to hold the moisture. II
tere Is danger from blowing, heavy
corrugated roller, or better still, q
sub-surface packer should be run over
the ground once before winter, two or
three times would be better, and the
field should be given light discing or
sharp, vigorous dragging. This
should be done again in the spring
the moment the soil is workable and
repeated as soon as weed shows.
Potatoes put into this kind of soil
are generally free from weeds, have
ample moisture and grow rank and
vigorous from the start.
AS potatoes shrink heavily they
should be marketed from the field IL

or for direct shipment to the south
they must be held until wanted, when

five acres 1t will doubtless pay to have
the latest potato planter, cutter and
digger. These are little expensive,
but several farmers should go in to-
gether for them, or one buy them and
do the planting and digging for the
neighborhood. We know of this being
done very satisfactorily in a number
of localities.

REMARKABL
STUDENT
tS, 80 - 49, - -
Wadel Almklov q Cooperstown, Who
Has Been Blind Since His Seven.
teenth Year is Freshman at the
University.

1t is not4until we behold the misfor-
tune of another that we realize our
own good fortune. There is registered
at the state university as Especial stu
dent, but who in reality is doing as
hard work as any freshman In the in
stttution, blind boy, Wadel Almklov
of Cooperstown, North Dakota. Aim
klov was not born blind but lost his
eyesight at IL years OF age. He took
q course in the state school for the
blind of South Dakota, graduating
with hOnOrs, and entered the u. N. d.
last fall as freshman.
While he Is registered as a special
student, he is taking subjects IN. the
college department, some of which are
extremely hard for the average fresh
man to grasp - psychology, for In
stance, a most difficult study for q
freshman and considered a Junior or
senior subject In all colleges or uni
yersities. 5j
The subjects pursued by Almklov
are English, Political Science, History
and Philosophy, which at present has
to do with psychology. While the In,
structors take unusual pains with
their blind pupil and his subjects are
largely read to him, he is a progress
sive and painstaking student.
Almklov was asked by one of his In
structors as to which would seem to
him preferable, blindness or deafness,
but the blind boy could not answer
the question, as he was never deaf
and doubtless his own affliction seems
SO terrible that he could not grasp
any comparison between hearing and
seeing all the beauty and grandeur Of
nature and reading the wisdom of the
ages on the printed page.

New York. Jan. 18.-The examina-
ton of Henry H. Rogers in the suit of
the state of Missouri to GUST the
Standard Oil company has brought
that financier strongly into the lime
light within the last week. For years
Rogers has been the real master of
the most perfect and stupendous mo-
nopoly in history-the Standard Oil
company. 1T is even said that it was
he, and not John d. Rockefeller, who
first evolved the idea of a monopoly.
However, this may be, it is certain
that he is today the most powerful ac-
tive agent in the money mills of the
world. And yet SO oiled and silent are
his movements that until he took the
center of the stage in the present in
vestigatoin few were aware that he
generates the directing agency of the
huge machine of which he is the head
and eyes-if not the soul.
Probably no man of equal stature
In the financial arena has had a more
remarkable career than has H. H.
Rogers. Beginning as a newsboy in
New Bedford and Fairhaven, Mass, he
has risen, risen, risen. But only now
and then has he appeared on the stage.
His place has been behind the scenes.
But when he has chosen to court the
limelight he has come out exceedingly
strong.
Answering question few years
ago as to how he got his start in bust
ness, Mr.. Rogers said he had worked
as hard for what he had as any one
of whom he had ever heard or read.
Looking from the veranda of his Fair
haven mansion today this no less
strange than successful man, who in
his 74th year can write his check for
more than that number of millions
and have 1t cashed, can still see the
little grocery store, where he worked
for 81 week and saved enough money
to carry him to the Pennsylvania oil
fields, where he was to make his for
tune.
AS one of the most prominent
trust" magnates of the entire country
Mr.. Rogers has naturally come in for
his full share of censure and attack
in the public Onslaught against capital
1stic combines. Few men have been
lambasted more viciously. And vet,
according to his friends and acquaint-
ances, there is another side to the
picture. When Mark Twain, the great
American humorist, awoke one morn
ing a decade ago, following the failure
of publishing house in which he was
interested, he found himself $4,000
in debt. That Henry H. Rogers came
to his assistance and, violating a pre-
viously unbroken rule of his career,
acted as his trustee and benefactor
In recouping the Twain losses is one
of his shining monuments. His native
town also has many times felt his ben
eficence.

BUILDING / I.l|;i rs! I;
NECESS ARY
Rapid Increase IN the Enrolment Of
the State University Makes Hore
Room imperative Business ONCE
Crowded Into An Entry.

Il A building, or possibly two new
buildings, will be an absolute neces-
sity at the state university for next
year. The present facilities of almost
every department are crowded to their
uttermost capacity. It will take much
more floor room to accommodate the
increase of enrolment than they have
at the present time. The main build
Ing is packed like sardine can. The
Office rooms for instance are crowd
ed out into one OF the entries. 1t has
been abandoned, closed up and made
Into Office rooms apd at that there Is
little room for the work to be done.
This Is but a, sample of the way in
which the managers and instructors
at the U. N. D. are doing their work,
a great work under many difficulties.
This morning the university opened
with an enrolment Of SCI students,
500 in the university proper and 81 in
the law school down town. This is
an exact increase of 100 over the cor
responding day of last year, or nearly
80 per cent. II the same rate of in
crease continues, It will mean 40
more students at this time next year,
or 1877, and. where will they be ac-
cOmmOdated II more room is not pro-
vided. 1t is probable that the ratio
of increase will be greater next year,
1t is increasing from year to year and
1t is not at all unlikely that the regis
trattOn next year may reach $50 and
1t will surely pass the 800 point. The
state of North Dakota cannot invest
In anything which will bring greater
returns than the new buildings at the
U. ID. N.
