Swears on EATING Oysters.

, 4 u Vi b. VI.
What are all these" was asked Of
one OF the popular restaurant men IF
East Grand Forks, who was throwing
out large basketful of canned oys-
tiers which II they were cooked would
feed regiment. well, I'll tell you"
he morosely exclaimed, holding his
stomach tenderly with one hand as he
threw the cans of oysters away with
the other. 1T happened this way:
The other morning I decided that
nothing would do me but to have an
oyster stew. I didn't have the can
ned goods, so got some at, q butcher
shop and cooked some in every differ
ent style and enjoyed them Intensely.
This morning did the same thing
again, and got twenty-four Of these
cans Of the darned things for stock
and dumped one into some milk and
proceeded to cook myself a. stew:
About ten minutes after eating the
things felt funny feeling coming
over me and in fifteen minutes I was
stretched out. tell you never felt
anything like it and never want to
again. Well, finally got over 1t after
the doctor doped me with all the anti
Iotes he could and I am doing the
first thing every man should do and
that is throwing out these cussed
things" and he CONTEMPORARY gave
a can a kick and hurt his toe. It is
safe to say that that man will never
eat canned oysters again.

Shevlin Case Settled.


Crookston Times: There will be no
second trial of Edwin C. Shevlin's suit
against Thomas H. Shevlin by which
the younger brother sought to secure
the retransfer of the stock alleged to
have been secured from him by undue
influence and fraud. A settlement be-
tween the brothers was effected last
night at Minneapolis and today an
order was filed in the district court
Diminishing the action.
Counsel in the case refused to make
a statement as to the definite terms of
the settlement, but A. B. Jackson, at
torney for the plaintiff, intimated that
his client had received practically
everything he had sued for and that
he would get back the Crookston and
st. Hilaire Lumber company stock,
now valued at between 100000 and
100000.
The younger brother brought suit
+, sion Of this stock that he had sold to
the millionaire lumberman for $4,000.
Hes alleged that the sale had been
forced on him by Thomas H. Shevlin,
and that he had not known the true
value Of the stock. A verdict for the
defendant was returned by Judge D.
f. Simpson, but this was reversed and
a new trial granted by the supreme
court. The case was to have come on
for a second trial in the district court
today.

INCREASE |R||| IS
SHOWN
The Per Cent Of Pupils Pro
NOTED This Year Shows
Decided Increase.

One Of the most remarkable in
creases In percentages ever found. is
shown in the comparison of the first
semester of the school year 19o4-1905
and the present school year. The
percentage table Is as follows:
Percentage Of pupils in the high
school successful In their efforts for
the first semester This term 1874
last year 80 per cent.
Same in grades. This year GIG. last
year "a per cent.
Out of 1881. examination papers ex-
amined this year in the grades 1854
per cent passed. The pr0pOrtiOnate
percentage to the papers for last year
Is 66.4 per cent.
The name statistics for the high
school for this year show that Is per
cent passed aud for last year SIS per
cent. AZ ,r..
From these figures it must not be
taken for. granted that the teachers
and faculty for last year were incom-
petent or lax in their duties in any
way. On the contrary they were as
good set of teachers as could be
found but ON account of the new system
Of ventilation. the largely increased
attendance and all around brighter
additions to the school the pupils were
able to, do much better grade of
work this year and do 1t in a more
cheerful manner. Too much credit
cannot be- given the faculty Of the
school for, the able maner with which
they are bringing the name of our
town to the front by the efficient
school system. The corps of teachers
who have broken all records by their
efficiency are as follows:
Superintendant-B. A. Dunbar.
Princfpal-Miss Flora Anderson.
Assistant Principal-Miss Thiza
Wallace.
Commercial Instructor-E. C. Nc

did not have the cash, 80 he applied
to the merchant for the amount. but
stipulated that he should write the

4 FACTORY NEEDED

FIBER
Hemp Plant Grows Profusely
In the Red River Valley
"a Coming Industry.

The hemp fiber industry, while in its
infancy In the valley, gives promise Of
being one Of the coming industries OF
the rich alluvial lands along the Red
/ river. For the past two or threesyears
the experiment OF raising hemp has
been tried by q number Of farmers
near CrookSton and II has proved to
be good crop. While the plant does
not grow as tall here 40 In Illinois
or Kentucky. IL is quite az rank and
Of q better grade. and yields more 6ber
to the ton. 1t pays we'll and u the
best crop to clean lands Of obnoxious
weeds known to the agriculturist.
While the fiber mill, which has been
established at Crookston for the manu-
facture Of the hemp tow from the,
plant, has not proved q success Anan-
}cially, 1t has been due to poor man
agement rather than to lack OF a
hemp crop, !. b
However. It has been amply demon
strated that hemp can be grown here,
as well as In Illinois or Kentucky. It
yields az much per ton a. II the more
southern states and brings good
price. It. is q crop which VIII pay
as we'll or better than wheat or other
crops raised here and cleans the land
Of weeds, something badly needed in
this section. ls

Much Money In Schools.

Minnesota now has invested In its
public schools $22,011 ,624, an increase
of $2,265,125 over year ago.. There
is debt of $5,3S2,63 on these build
ings. The total amount is divided as
follows: School houses and sites,
$19,616,922; seats and desks, $1,317,-
$50; apparatus, s606,433; libraries.
$477,216. These figures have been
compiled by the department of pub
lie instruction from reports of the
county superintendent for the year
ending July 81, 1905. Comparing the
valuation of school property with the
number of school children shows that
in the Independent and special, dis
tricts about $50 is invested for each
child enrolled, while in the common
school districts the average per child
is only $50.
