supt. w. e. Hoover of Park River
has been chosen by the Fargo board
of education as superintendent of the
city schools. Mr.. Hoover is one of
the best of the younger educators OF
the state and it is believed he has all
sthe qualifications to make for success
In the Fargo schools. His election
is a neat compliment and tribute to
his ability and if the position should
be accepted there is little question
but he will make good.

Gently arrested in Minot on a charge
of conducting a blind pig, may be
Oliver D. Mosier, wanted in Montana
on a charge of murder. There is a
remarkable resemblance between the
description of Mosier and Picket. The
description tallies exactly, even to a
scar under the eye. Sheriff Lee is
almost positive he is the man wanted
in Montana and has notified the
Montana authorities of it. About two
years ago Mosier escaped from the
Billings county JAIL together with ten
other prisoners. Mosier was then
serving a sentence for murder.
Mrs. Angelic Rolette, who died at
Belcourt Sunday, Jan. Fl, aged Is
years, 4 months and 81 days, was
born in the Red river settlement, then
known as Prince Rupert's Land. In
1S45 she was married to Joseph
Rolette of Pembina, pioneer of the
territory of Dakota, who died in 1871.
In 1890 Mrs. Rolette moved to Bel
court, residing first with her son
Jerome, but for the past two years
with her oldest son Joseph. Five
sons and one daughter survive her;
Joseph of Belcourt, Jerome of Roila,
Henry, of St. Paul, Louis of Kalispell,
and Frederick, of Thief River Falls,
MINI. The daughter, Mrs. Virginia
A. Mckay, lives in Manitoba.
Next Tuesday the case of Karrie
Selland VS.. Rudolph Evingson will be
taken up in district court at Fargo
before Judge Pollock. The plaintiff
sues for $4,000 damages for personal
injuries alleged to have been sus-
tanned in the store of the defendant
at Kindred, through the plaintiff fall
ing through trap door. Judge W. s.
Lauder of Wahpeton will represent
the plaintiff and Assist. U. S. Dist.
Atty. B. D. Townsend of that city will
appear for the defendant in the &C
ton. The case will be hard fought
on its merits and the fact that
Messrs. Lauder and Townsend, who
have waged several important legal
battles against each other, will be the
opposing attorneys, means something
worth listening to and seeing.
The work of securing the 100000
endowment fund for Wesley college
at Grand Forks was practically COM
pleted Wednesday. DR.. Robertson
announced that a subscription had
been received covering all that was
lacking to make up this amount, and
this renders available every dollar
that has been subscribed during the
past year. There is one condition at
tached to this last subscription which
makes necessary a little further work,
but DR.. Robertson has already taken
up the work of arranging for this. and
SO satisfactory have been the results
of his efforts thus far that there Is no
doubt that the college will have a
fund of 100000 in cash and good
paper with which to start out on the
building and other work of the sea-
son.

The pure food agitation appears to
have spread we'll over the United
States and the state of North Dakota
is generally looked to as model for
pure food and pure drug laws. Other
states are making efforts to obtain
the passage of a law looking to the
regulation Of sales of patent medi.
cines, and North Dakota is stated as
the only state that has SO far taken
advanced ground and passed a law
requiring publicity as to patent medi-
cine formulas.

corn problem in North Dakota.

The shaft of the arrow, made of some
extremely hard wood, was about ten
inches in length. Affixed to it was a
pointed fish bone, sharp, but not barb

was neither feathered nor grooved for
