Iidgerwood, N. d., June 4.-To The
Forum: The third annual commence
ment exercises of our high school,
which ranks as state high school of
the first class, were held in the OPP
erahall Friday evening of last week.
A class of three were graduated. The
following are the names Of the mem
bers of the class: Anna Al. Lynch,
Grace p. Ackerman and Clara b. Nor
ton. This is the first class to graduate
which has completed our required for
ty-e1ght units or sixteen courses in
stead of the minimum thirty-six units
or twelve courses required in order to
rank as high school of the first class.
Had the minimum requirement been in
force at this time in our school a. class
OF sixteen or seventeen would have
been graduated instead Of a class of
three The present class ranks the
highest in scholarship over any class
graduating prior to. this time; no
member having an average standing
Of less than ninety-tw two Miss Norton
the vaIedfctorian, made an average of
ninety-five and one-half The feaure
of the exercises was the address by
Professor Squires of the state univer-
sity. He took for his subject The
Mission Of Education, which he hand
led In his usual forcible and eloquent
manner. His address was easily one
of the best things ever heard in this
city. Cor Il.

| Underwood, N D., June ITO The
| Forum: OF large number of pro-
gressive towns in the state of North
| Dakota there are none that are COM
ing more rapidly to the front than I'm
Iderwood, being located on the level
and fertile plain of the Missouri slope
surrounded by the most fertile farming
sections in the northwest thirteen
miles from Washburn, twelve miles
east from Mannhaven, fourteen miles
| from Turtle lake, it enjoys an excel
| lent territory and is rapidly becom-
| ing the business center Of Mclean
county, and by next year will be one
| of the leading primary grain markets
of the northwest. A two hundred bar
rel nour mill is now under course of
construction.
The town Of Underwood is less than
three years old, but has already a pop
ulation of nearly GOO, four churches,
graded school, two banks and the
town in general is doing more busi-
ness than the average Iowa or Illinois
town of more than 1,5OO inhabitants
The Mclean County Fair association,
recently Incorporated, will hold it's
The Underwood baseball team is
rapidly gaining strength, defeating
Garrison Friday by to Z, and last
Sunday defeated Washburn by a score
of to 8. The Underwood Commercial
club is taking an active interest in the
advancement of the town and have de-
termined to make it a town desirable
for anyone to Live in.
The convenience of splendid coal OBJ
tanned in the coal mine near town at
nominal figures affords decidedly cheap
fuel for power purposes and makes
the town thus an ideal point for man
ufacturing, and good number of east
ern factories are now negotiating for
sites here. Six or eight steam break
ing outfits are at work in this vicini-
ty at present and will thus add an
enormous large area to the acreage
under cultivation, and the prospects
for good crop were never better any
where than they are here in the upper

BAND CONCERTS.
Pair of Subscription Papers Being Cir,
cuIated But Nothing Definite.

Professor Putnam. musical director
at the agricultural college, reported
last night that he had secured prom
ises from citizens of over S7O0 and
that he had not seen many more than
half of the persons from whom he ex-
poets to obtain donations for series
of open air band concerts.
Professor Putnam has made a prop
osition of giving a series of twenty
concerts during the summer with a
band of twenty-five musicians pro-
viding he can secure promises of ST.
100.
T. L. Truss, manager of the Eagles
band, has also promised a series of
open air concerts providing he can
secure the necessary support. Both
Professor Putnam and Mr.. Truss have
been circulating subscription lists but
neither has secured the necessary
amount as yet.
Citizens are clamoring for a series
of band concerts this summer and with
two propositions from two different
bands there appears to be but little
doubt but that one of the proposed SER
les will materialize.

THE BEEF TRUST.

| Standard Oil is breathing a little
| easier. The beef trust now holds the
center of the stage. If, as Mr.. Upton
Sinclair asserts, these two organiza-
tions are mortal enemies, being en-
gagged in bitter rivalry for the owner
! ship of America, Standard Oil finds a
pleasure added to it's relief 1t may be
| found, however, that the government
and the people are able to think of
two things at the same time.
For years the beef trust has been
coming into an increasingly conspicu-
Gus position. In the war with Spain,
Packingtown proved a far deadlier
place to our soldiers than San Juan
hill, and the implements of death en-
cased in tin were more destructive
than Mauser bullets. The heads of the
canned beef industry became notorious
for treason and murder on a large
scale, and it must have puzzled any
plain murderer of an individual fellow
man. when on his way to the electric
chair if such murderer were of a re-
Elective turn of mind, why he was
made away with, while his superiors
in homicide reclined on their velvet
lounges undisturbed
OF course, reasoned these potentates,
if the American people can stand that.
they can stand anything. Therefore
the system of squeezing the cattle
raisers at the source of supply and the
consumers whom they made dependent
on themselves as much as possible,
was continued with redoubled conf
dence. Then arose against them the
10 cent magazines. What they told
had been told before but it makes a
difference whether the public has to
pay a dollar and a half for the infor-
nation in book which is rather dry
reading, or whether it can obtain the
same information at 10 cents per pay
ment, with a lot of pictures and stories
thrown in. STILL the beef trust ar
gued, the public that stood embalmed
beef for its soldiers will stand any
thing.
They made right here mistake.
They overlooked the fact which should
have been obvious, that the American
people has a sensitive stomach and a
tender heart. Rebates and all the 9TH
er machinery Of monopoly they will
stand II only the result is a thick juicy
steak or steaming hot soup that tastes
good And when one is well filled who
cares IL the meal comes high. But it
is necessary to keep rats and offal
out of the SOUP, and the steak must
not be picked out of filth compared
with which the Augean stables are
perfumes of Araby and the lard which

| The recent boom in the sale of olive
as medicine for lung trouble, amaze
mia, and other ills, appears to have
had a check. This, in the opinion of
| local dealers, is due to the agitation
which has prevailed concerning the
substitution ofcottonseed oil and other
bogus products for the genuine. Peo-
pie who use the oil for salads dc, not
care so much what it is really COM
posed of, but these constitute only a
part of the general market. Users of
the oil for health, however, have re-
gently become very numerous and the
demand has accordingly taken big
jump. 1t is these people who have
become affrighted by the talk of sub
stitutions. "The fall in the demand is,
therefore, regarded as merely tempo
rary," says one local dealer in the
commodity "As soon as such substi-
tuition is stopped people who know the
curative properties of the genuine oil
will be coming after it again."
A Fargoan was absentminded. Still
even he was occasionally surprised by
his own failings. One morning he
reached his Office unaccountably late
Dear me-" he thought, "where can |

sat down at his desk and took out
his pocket handkerchief. 1t was tied
tightly in a knot.

for? oh, yes, 1 was told at home to
get my shoes soled."
With an air of resignation to the
whims of womanhood, he put on his
hat, closed his office, and went out to
the 'soled while you wait" cobbler's
He went in and sat down. took off his
shoes and settled back in chair to
read his newspaper.

bier.

Ancient Costume Party

Mrs. Bail gave the second Of
her series of parties, last even
ing at her home on Erie street
The invitations read for a"An-
tique Costume Party at six
thirty and by seven o'clock the
rooms were filled with ladies
CARRIED in costumes of many
years ago. Carnations and
ferns were used in profusion
for decorating purposes.
Elegant refreshments were
served by the hostess assisted by
Mesdames Babcock, Lyon and
Hopkins. Cards and pencils
were then passed and each
guest was to vote for the most
beautiful antique costume.
Among such an array of beauty,
voting was very difficult, but
Mrs. F. M. Hover was compli-
mented as wearing the most
beautiful costume. She wore
her wedding gown of fourteen
years ago. She received a
handsome Bon Bon dish as a
reward for her artistic costume.
The remainder of the time was
most delightfully."- passed in
visiting and discussing the
times when the costumes were
really "up-to-date."

according to the example set by
Roosevelt, made this reply:
eve recently have completed

thing over $4,000, and for eve
ry pane of glass, every sack of
cement, every pound of nails,
and, in fact, for nearly every
bit of material that went into
