Fargo, N. D., Jan. s.--North Dakota is to
have cheaper rate on oils. The Northern
Pacific and the Great Northern companies have
decided to make such shipments fourth class
instead of first, as has heretofore been the ease.
Of the collegiate athletic reform and purity it
would be better to give medals than cash prizes.
Guy Vowles of Fargo college was elected
president of the board OF control; William Puppy
of the r. r. V. u. vice president; c. l. Gun
ness of the North Dakota Agricultural college,
secretary, and F. E. McCurdy of the state uni
versity, treasurer. Judges were selected.
Murphy Trial Jan. Is.
The coming trial of Major ]. s. Murphy Of
Mnot in this city is attracting attention in the
state. Political opponents of Murphy, who was
for years boss in Ward county, charge him
with the forgery of road warrants He was
! arrested and brought before the county judge at
MinOt. A change of venue was demanded and
denied and Murphy was held to the district
court. He filed an affidavit Of prejudice against
Judge Goss, and expected to have the case sent
to the nearest Judge. Instead it was sent across
the state to Judge Pollock Of Fargo. This led
to appeal to the supreme court, which up
held Judge Goss, with dissenting opinion by
one of the trio OF judges Murphy's attorneys
| then commended that the county judge originally
in charge of the case had no power to sit as a
committing magistrate. This overruled
by Judge Pollock and the trial will begin
| Jan. 10.
Another case to be heard at the same term
| is the $4,000 damage suit Of Carrie O. Selland
| against Rudolph Ellingson, merchant at Kin
dred. Mrs. Seliand was trading in Ellingson's
store and fell thru trapdoor into the base
ment. b. --. . =
The concession is the result of the demands
Of the North Dakota railroad commission. The
latter presented to the commission by the
independent oil concerns and hearing hat
| with the railroads. The new rate is the same
| that Minnesota has, and it is now understood
that South Dakota will be given similar con
cessions. The other railroads doing business il
| this state are expected to make the same re
duction. .a-
With the reduced rates it is expected tn,
price per gallon oil will be decreased abou
cent. 1t is claimed the lower rate will ais
prove beneficial to the smaller concerns an,
permit more opportunity for competition wit
| the Standard Oil company.

ST. CLOUDS LID FITS
First Day of Saloons Closing Order
Passes Quietly.

ST. CLOUD, MINN.-For the first time in
twenty years the St: Cloud saloons were all
closed on Sunday. The lid went on at mid
night Saturday, and the orders of the mayor
were obeyed to the letter. The police report
that all saloons were closed.
Much pressure has been brought upon Mayor
Benson to induce him to rescind his order, but
he says that his instructions will not be re-
yoked and that the lid is to stay. Mayor
Benson was not a candidate for office of his
own volition, but consented to serve in response
to- a petition of citizens. In the first eight
months of his administration the old policy OF
allowing the saloons to remain open under GER
tain restrictions was followed. Those favorine
