and what were in force. For instance
Bronson & Collins placed policy in
a company which before the bill was
paid by the city, went into the hands
of receiver and the policy was
transferred to another concern, and
there is nothing of record to show the
transaction. 1t was suggested that
the insurance was a part of the work
of the purchasing committee and that
Bydahl and Westberg had not author
lied the same. They are the only
members Of the committee. Collins
tried to explain but was told that his
opinion had not been asked.
But the storm passed and the rest
of the session was like the sunshine
after rain, except that the opinion of
the city attorney did not pass as court
dictum with the council. J..
Craig relieved the public by dis
pensing with the reading OF the min
utes, and the matter of procuring an
insurance record. keeping a proper
record of the matter was insisted
upon, and the recorder was directed
to get the same in shape.
Collins made report on the Hass
claim and stated that he had advised
Mr.. Sorley, who held the claim, to in
stitute friendly action against the
city and that he had agreed to waive
all claims for cost. and the matter
could be taken to the district court
for determination. as the city attor-
ney did not know how to advise the
council in the matter. Nothing was
said about the costs should the case
be appealed to the supreme court The
city attorney was instructed to pro-
coed in accordance with his report.
The Red Lake river bridge was up
again and after much discussion 1t
was decided that the public improve
ment committee and the purchasing
committee should proceed to act in
the matter and procure the material
necessary to make the same.
Alderman Craig suggested the ad-
visibility of publishing the report of
the public may have the entire report.
thepublic may have the entire report.
He wanted the people to see what they
had. 1t was finally decided to investi-
gate the cost. Sherlock suggested
that it would be we'll to wait till the
books of the school board was audited
and put the two together.
Alderman Bydahl presented a reso-
luton looking. to the sewering Of

At this point the storm again gath

that the FIRE engine was q part Of the

CONG. GRONNz

The most elaborate celebration ever
attempted in the history of this state
will be that of the Norwegians at the
state university on May II. The
elaborate preparations have been I'M
der the direction of Prof. Tinglestad
and the success of the same will be due
to his untireing efforts. The matter
is under the auspices of the state uni
| versity and the meeting will be at that
institution.
The program has been prepared with
view Of reviving the memories of
the mother country, and is fitting
event following the evolution unpar-
alleled in the history OF the world by
which the people of Norway became
free without the shedding of drop of
blood. Norway has attracted the at
tention of the world not because she
was nation struggling for independ-
ence but because of the intense de-
votion of her people to liberty and
freedom The spirit of her people
has ever been the embodiment of hu-
man liberty, and those who have done
so much to build the great northwest
while giving gospel measure of devo-
ton to our own institutions, have lost
none of that for the land which gave
them BIRTH
1t is particularly appropriate that the
celebration this year should be at the
state university where SO many of the
sons OF those who have breathed the
air of freedom in the old land are be-
Ing educated and where the largest
Scandinavian library in the country
will be formally opened at the time of
the celebration. This library was made
possible by the liberal donations of
the Scandinavian citizens of the state.
The work was begun by an appropria-
ton proposed by Congressman Gronna
while he was a member of the board
OF trustees of the university of $4,000,
which amount was to be doubled by
popular subscriptions Prof. Tingle-
stad has been the moving force in the
matter and the results are due in a
large measure to perseverance.
The entire celebration will be one
long program of enthusiasm and plea
sure. The list of speakers include the
ablest scholars and most prominent
men of Norwegian birth in the country.
Among these is Prof H. G. Stub of
Luther Seminary of St. Paul. He is
we'll and favorably known as a man of
strong character, broad scholarship
and magnetic eloquence He will
speak in both Norwegian and English.
President J. N. kildahl of ST. Olaf's
college, Mortified, Minnesota, who is
also one of the speakers, is one of the
best known educators in the country
and the remarkable growth of the COL
lege over which he presides, during his
incumbency is proof of his sterling
worth and matchless power. His adj
dress will be delivered in both Nor
wegian and English. Another speaker
of prominence will be Congressman
Gronna of this state Mr.. Gronna was
for several years prominent member
of the board of university trustees.

inmate the Marriage Relation
Ethel B. Howard Starts Proceedings

to Annul Marriage With Insane Man.
Mrs. Ethel c. Howard, through her
attorneys, Skulason & Skulason, today
started an action in the district court
to secure a decree in nullity, annuling
her marriage with Henry c. Howard,
on the grounds of lunacy, the allega-
ton being made that the defendant
was insane when the marriage vow
was solemnized. Howard is the G. N.
mail clerk whose reason failed him
to weeks after his marriage to Miss
Ethel Beavers at Brownwood, Texas,
on Feb. 10, 1906, and who was after
ward sent to the state hospital for the
insane at jamestown. The marriage
of the couple, SO the story goes, was
brought about through the medium of
a matrimonial agency.
Judge C.. ]. Fisk this morning in
district court granted a decree of
divorce to Lillian M. Thockmorton
from Edward A. Thockmorton, on the
charge Of abandonment. The defend
I ant defaulted in answer to the original
summons and made no appearance.
The couple were married In 1901 at
Grafton and the plaintiff alleges the
defendant deserted her at Winnipeg
in January, 1905. Skulason & Skula-
son for plaintiff.
Late Monday evening Judge Fisk
granted William HUMPHREYS decree
OF divorce from Lorraine HUMPHREYS,
on the ground of desertion. Mr. Hum.

in Grand Forks many years, claimed
