Arnold had had extensive dealings
with the Citizens State bank and J. c.
Hopper and that once when Hopper
insisted that Mrs. Arnold come and
sign the note IN person, she stated to
Mr.. Hopper that it wasn't at all nee
essary for her to do this, as she had
authorized her husband to sign all
such papers for her. Acting upon this
authority Hopper allowed Mr.. Arnold
to sign his wife's name to the next
note. Then Mrs. Arnold refused to
pay it on the ground that she Ia d
not authorized her husband to sign
any notes for her.
The testimony of Mr.. Hopper's
stenograpller settled that part of the
controversy Judge Lobden held. in
written opinion. THAI since the tes-
timony of Mr. Hopper and Mrs Ar
mold directly conficted, he would take
the testimony of the stenographer as
decisive. The stenographer confirmed
Mr.. Hopper's testimony Mrs. Arnold
claimed that she was sick in bed at her
home when the alleged agreement was
made The lower court gave Hopper
judgment for the full amount claimed
and Mr. and Mrs. Arnold appeal.

GROCERS MAKE PROTEST
Don't Like Board. of Health Regulation
Regarding Packages.

There is to be another conference
between the state board of health and
a committee representing the whole
sale grocers of the state on Friday
ering some changes in the pure food
regulations.
The grocers are kicking about the
rule which requires that packages,
cans, bottles and other receptacles be
stamped with the net weight of the
contents. The grocers say that such a
rule can not be enforced because it is
impossible to give the exact weight of
the contents of can. They say that
a can packed tight with tomatoes
weighs more than the same size can
in which the contents are part water
They think that the provision about
stamping the can or package should
be eliminated.
The grocers also want to change the
provision about starch filters in certain
substances.
There will be made a new rule con-
corning coffee, which will specify more
in detail what constitutes adulteration
of coffee.
DR.. S. J. Crumbine said this morn
ing: There is no doubt a good deal
Of manipulation of coffee which tends
to make an inferior grade appear to be
a good article. A chiccry wash is used
to produce the effect of uniformity,
and in some cheap coffees a wash is
used to increase the weight. Weight OF
coffee can be increased 10 per cent by
proper manipulation. We will draft a
rule which will cut out all that sort of
business.
Il realize that the question OF
weights is a difficult one to handle, but
I think that packages which are sold
for specified weight should be re-
quired to come up to that weight, and
should be stamped. Pound packages of
butter are nearly. always short weight -

FIVE HUNDRED MORE.
Growth Of City Schools Shows a
Healthy Condition.

Nearly 500 more pupils were register
ed in the public schools of the city yes
terday than We're registered on the op-
ening day of the schools q year ago. To
be exact the numbers was Az. Most of
the increased enrolment was in the
grade schools as there were only seven
more registered in the high school than
last year. The total enrolment was o.
$50, while last year the first day Show
ed but 5.447.
But the enrolment on the first day
does not indicate the number of pupils
who will attend the schools this year
by few hundred. Many children. who
will attend the schools, have not re-
turned home with their parents from
the summer vacations and the enroll
ment for the year will not be complete
for three weeks to come. With 5,44I
pupils enrolled on the first day last
year the number was increased at the
end of the third week to 6,073 and 1t IS
expected that the enrolment yesterday
win be increased proportionately which
will bring the total enrolment this year
up to the vicinity of $500.
The enrolment in the various schools
yesterday was as follows:
High school, 972; Branner, 1874; Bu-
chanan, 81; Clay, 301; Douglas. 30S; Eu-
cid 226: Garfield, z64: Grant 325; Har-

produced statement from Prof. Zeit.

500 Line Files Notice Of Line.
Joining Bismarck and
Minot =.

Bismarck and Minot are to be con-
nected by rail this year.
The 500 has filed notice with the
secretary of state of it's intention to
build branch westward from point
on its main line between Anamoose
and Voltaire (probably Voltaire) to
or near the town of Bye in southern
Ward county, which is about thirty
five miles northwest of Garrison. This
branch will be about so miles long.
The same notice also says that the
line from Garrison will be extended
about Is miles in northeasterly
direction and tap the branch already
mentioned. From this it is promised
the ''Voltaire" branch will run from
that town in a southwesterly direc-
ton into Mclean county at the inter-
section of McEenry, Ward and Nc
Lean counties, and then swoop north
westward to Bye.
While the branch from Garrison
will not make "a direct line to Minot
it will doubtless be arranged so that
speedy transfers can be made and
the northern section of the state be
brought into close communion with
these parts. 1t is a consumation de.
voutly to be hoped and will greatly
broaden the commercial field of Bis
marck's wholesale interests.
The notice to the secretary of state
also states that a branch will be built
almost straight west from Flaxton, in
northern Ward county, so miles to the
northern center of Williams county
This line will open up a fertile coun
try and result in an immense gain in
settlers. Crosby will probably be the
terminus.
