Among h e improvements
which we noticed, during re-
cent visit to the grounds, are the
improvements OF the roads lead
ing to the main campus. The
cutting away Of the hill where
the wagon road touches the lake
shore, is a decided Improvement,
and the Lake township board
has made a generous appropria-
ton for that purpose. Commits

tending the grading Of the road.
a little farther down the
driveway at the road entrance
to the grounds, is erected al
beautiful archWay. It is paint
ed white. In bold letters upon
one side Of the circle is painted
the inspiring name North Da-
kota Chautauqua, G and on the 1
other side the words Come

after the experiences of the ses-I

Last Sunday was a happy day
for the citizens of Devils Lake,
many hundreds Of whom visited
Chautauqna. The day was beau

to ccomnod odate the people. The
Devils Lake Eagle band had
been engaged and played many

time forward greater energy and
enterprise, if possible, will be
put into Chautauqua. Many inn

Rats In Furriers' SHOPS
While passing along Fifth avenue in
the neighborhood of Thirty-fourth

was attracted by two members Of the
Finest" who were rafting the front
door OF a fashionable furrier store and
beating the panels with their night
clubs. "Burglars?" I ventured. bur

the "bobbies" had scared the rodent
away one of the officers said: There

Less Truancy Now
Truancy in the public schools is de-
creasing. Whether this is due to the
more thorough and systematic work
being done in enforcing the compulsory
education law or to the changes In
the laws does not appear. Neverthe
less, the records Of the board of edu-
cation show that 1000 fewer truants
were reported during the past school
year than during the preceding year.
Furthermore IL appears that the mag
istrates are dealing much less leniently
with the parents and the truants. 1t
may be that the decrease in truancy
can be attributed to this welcome
change on the part of the magistrates
In dealing with the truants, or, rather,
those who are responsible for truancy.
The reduction in the number of truants
brings the total number well under 10,-
900, for during 19O4-O5 the total number
OF individual truants was 1928. These
facts are of timely interest now, as
principals and teachers are working to
secure modification Of the compul-
sorry education law.

Valuable Condor Killed

This fine bird, worth at least $500,
and the only specimen obtained in four
years, was murdered by means of a
large rubber band, worth half a cent,

formed on the zoos California condor,
which died the other day I'm great pain.

Buddhist Temple on Broadway
Broadway has a new church, one sit
uated in the portion of that thorough
fare in which churches are not quite
such conspicuous adornments of the
street as theaters or other places of
amusement. 1t consists of a small hall
over a cheap restaurant and bears the
exalted title" Temple OF Buddha," the
legend being painted in white letters on
a background of cheap black oilcloth.
The temple" seems to be open only on
Sunday nights. when lectures are deliv-
cred by a disciple of the occult, whose
likeness appears ON the double glass
doors leading from the street level to
the hall above.
Tired Of Diamonds
Some one recently declared that the

What an absurdlty The diamond was
never more popular with the impen-

Two Boys Sent to the Detention Home
on Charge of Lar

Milo Stems, 13 years of age, is said
to have stolen a clock from the Locke
hotel on South Hill street Friday, and
as result he was in Police Justice
Roses court charged with petty lar
ceny yesterday morning. His mother
appeared in court and informed the
Justice that she had done all in her
power to teach the boy it was wrong
to steal, but that he still insisted on
taking things which did not belong to
him. He was bound over to the ju-
venile court and sent to the detention
home.
A second case of clock stealing was
before Police Justice Rose yesterday
Charles Pascoe, IA years of age, was
charged with stealing a clock from
742 East Fifth street. He admitted he

intention of stealing something. He

The Mysterious Ball

Pedestrians on Broadway stop at a
busy corner to watch ping pong ball
floating in the air eight or ten inches
over a horizontal arc light. No doubt
II is the jet of superheated air from
the dazzling point that buoys up the
ball, just as Jet of water sustains a
metal ball In fountain, but this ex-
PLANTATION satisfies very few of those
who stop to look. The women all favor
the theory of an invisible wire; the
men usually conclude that it is the
electric force acting repulsively as they
have seen compass do when magnet
is placed near it.

Value of Conviction.
When boards Of trade and business
mems leagues are sure Of their ground
and have behind them the belief and
confidence Of the general body Of citi-
zens they can accomplish vastly more

announcement that this steel plant is 10
be built here has demonstrated what has
been known for some time. but what has
not been felt There is a great differ
ence between these two conditions,
knowing and feeling. They are both es-
sential to the success Of our arguments
presented to outsiders. The feeling is
akin to the faith that can remove noun
tains of doubt and obstacles in the minds
of others.
This single instance in one section OF
Washington has aroused the people to "A

She has realized that her natural ad-
vantages and her growing population
would sooner or later make ii neces-
sary for Industrial, plants to locate in

Factories Versus Residences

There are none who viii find fault
with that general policy of the Capital
City which has been inimical to the
establishment Of factories and indus
trial plants within the confines of the
residential sections There are too
many instances in America today Of
cities which have fostered the growth
OF industrial plants to such an extent
that those who live within the cOrpor-
ate limits are never able to draw a
pure breath of air.
Such state of affairs denotes prog
Fess and enterprise. but there are
many other things in life for which we
should strive besides mere material
wealth There is a wealth of health.
A wealth of mind, A wealth of esthetic
tastes, a moral wealth. and all the
other sides of a mans nature which
should be cultivated, and these cannot
be brought to full maturity In smoke
laden. sulphur-fumed atmosphere.
The value of industrial plants and
manufactures should not be discount
ed Their location in the vicinity Of
every city is absolutely essential to the
growth and expansion of commercial
interests But it is well TO consider
the eSAdhAlSHtleAt q LuEot enter III lSto
from all sides. 1t is in this respect
that Washington has eVinced a per
spicacity far beyond that shown by
practically every other city in the

realize that their hope of advancement
rests almost wholly upon what can be
gained from the manufactures. and as
a consequence these cities have receiv-
ed all manufactures with open arms,
