THE ATTENDANCE GETS THE MONEY
Supt. j. f. McLain Points Out That
AppOrtionment is Based on Actual
Attendance.

County Superintendent McLain is
sending out to school officers cir
cular letter calling attention to the
provisions of the new law relative to
the attendance of children during the
present school year in as much as the
state appOrtionment is based upon the
number in attendance and not on the
number of children actually residing
in the school district, Among other
things the letter says:
1.-THE teacher will make report
each month to the clerk showing the
number of days each child has at
tended school that month. The clerk
should in turn report to the superin-
tendent each month children who are
not being sent to school. This, as the
blank shows, refers to children be-
tween the ages of eight and fourteen
years, inclusive.
THE teachers report to the clerk
will aid him in making out his census
report next June. According to Sec.
7O7 of the 1905 school law the appor-
tionments for next year will be based
upon the number of children who have
attended school sixty days or more
during the present school year.
"The clerks reports to the county
superintendent will aid him and the
states attorney in enforcing the law.
1T is very important that these re-
ports be made. as many districts and
the county as while will lose none,
unless many more children attend
school. The county superintendent
will report to the states attorney all
no &C. ,,,I.o
law. These parents or guardians
must furnish legal excuse for keep
ing the children out of school or they
will be subject to fine, not to ex-
coed $4,000. There need be no fear or
reluctance in reporting such cases as
the clerk or school board will not be
implicated In the statement made to
the parents. 1t will aid us very much
as officials to have the moral support
of the school board and community"

LOST HORSE; Then LOST HIMSELF
Oscar Anderson of Honeyford Notified
That Horse and Blackboard Are
Awaiting the Owner.

Oscar Anderson, a farmer residing
in Honeyford, telephoned to the East
Side police last night stating that he
had lost a horse and small democrat
wagon somewhere in the dual cities.
He did not confer with the Grand
Forks police and consequently has
been kept in suspense and expense for
two extra days.
The horse has been stabbed In the
O'Connor livery barn since Saturday
morning awaiting an owner and the
wagon has rested its weary frame in
the rear Of the Nash Bros. wholesale
warehouse. Saturday afternoon the
employees of the wholesale firm no.
titled the police that a lonely buck
board was standing beside the loading
platform and that it contained two
barrels of apples and two baskets of
grapes. Thes were taken in the stor-
age house where they now remain.
The police also found a large bottle of
red eye" and it is supposed that the
man Anderson, drove into the clear
ing behind the warehouse, unhitched
the horse, afterwards found roaming
on the streets. and then proceeded to
lose himself.

NEW YORK,s HIGH RENTS.

owners of apartment houses in New
York have adopted apparently for all
time the renting plan of sky-touching
office quarters. Inquire of the agent
of scraper. How much rent?" He
may say, "$5 foot" He means IS
square foot. SO that an office 1Ox15
will cost you $3.50 year. Until very
recently apartments were rented zen
bloc" as we would say in Paris. So
much for this fiat, so much for that.
But, bless you, while We have not yet
arrived at matter of square feet in
the hire of domicile, it is put to us
by the up-to-date agent Or janitor
that we shall pay SO much a room.
You want seven room fiat. Oh, very
we'll. The price is $40 a room each
month, or $3.50 month for the apart
ment.
Never speak of a fashionable resi-
dence in pigeon box as fiat"
Nothing under SIS month Is a fiat.
Up among the elect we say apart
ment." To speak of tenement" in
high life Is to refer to sort of morgue
in the university settlement, where
wealthy heireses with nothing else to
do while away their time with making
an acquaintance of poor young men
with an eye to windward and finally
marry them willy-nilly to startle the
world with their sanity emotional
ism. Apartment life is amazingly
popular, particularly among those who
like to shut up shot in the summer and
free as a bird fit to the mountains
To several thousand people in this
city from $4,000 to $4,000 annual rent
for an apartment is a mere bagatelle.
They get the equivalent.

TRIO TAKEN BACK TO HAMILTON
Men Arrested With Knockout Drops
and Stolen Money Taken to
Scene of Crime.

T. c. Thacker of Hamilton. a con-
stable of Pembina county, came down
last night for the three men taken
in tow by the police Sunday night who
subsequent developments disclose,
touched a stocking" in Hamilton for
$42. The men admit taking the money
but maintained even through the
sweating process that they had left it
under a bed and it mysteriously dis
appeared. The money taken consisted
of q $50 bill and two $40 bills.
When the men were searched there
was found on them one $50 bill.
one $40 bill and some small change,
so there is little doubt but that
it was a part Of the loot. The
bottle of Knockout drops taken from
the men is of greenish hue and by
the looks of the stuff it ought to be
able to knock an elephant several
inches off the ground. The men also
admit stealing key of beer from the
station at Glasston.

s. A TON IS NOW PAID FOR HAY
Seems 10 Ike a Scarcity of the Article
In the Entire Valley.

Whats that about hay?" remarked
Il local dealer to an Evening Times
representative Yes. hay is about S.
a ton at present and with good
chances of staying that high" From
these remarks and others, it strikes
the casual thinker that hay and feed
valley this year. The prices quoted
are for loose hay and it is of good
quality. Oats is 30 and SO cents per
bushel and is more apt to go higher
than lower.
WAS there not good crop of hay
in the valley and over the state this
year?" was asked.
Yes, but there was whole lot of
hay that was not cut" was the re-
joiner. 1.-THE railroads offered such
big wages for men with teams that
it paid better to work for the COM
panies rather than cut the hay last
summer and the consequence is that
there Is not as much hay in the coun-
try as the good crop would seem to
warrant"
We'll. anyway, there is good crop
of potatoes"
I'm not so sure OF that, though
potatoes are not in my line" contin-
ued the dealer You should recollect
that there was not nearly the acreage
Of potatoes planted this year as in
previous years. Not many loads of
potatoes have come into the city as
yet, but am informed that the price
paid for them was 40 cents per
bushel.'

for for Sl.lOO.

At sundry and divers times in !,
mans career he reads in the papers
accounts of winnings made at roulette,
which is one of the principal methods
gamblers have of separating men from
their hard-earned cash.
These reports. however, are usually
confined to the sporting papers and
the man who reads rarely connects
with the one upon whom fortune
smiled.
Two Grand Forks men, however,
neither of them habitual gamblers
happened into an East Side resort an
evening or two since. and, watched by
a few friends, began playing the

ALBERT LUMD HAS BEEN LOCATED
Is Said to be Tending Bar in Saloon
in Wisconsin.

Albert c. Lund has been located.
Authoritative information was receiy-
ed last night to the effect that he is
tending bar in saloon in Galesville,
Wis.
Lund, it will be remembered, mys-
teriously disappeared while on bust
ness trip to Grand Forks and Fargo
last March and it was suspected that
he met with foul play. There were
many peculiar facts in connection
with his disappearance and. because
it was suspected that he may have
been killed in Canada, the Canadian
authorities were asked to commence
or investigation.
Through one of Mr. Lund's creditors
in Hillsboro, the first clue to Lund's
whereabouts was secured. 1t appears
that he left a number of unpaid bills
in the vicinity of Kamsack, Sask., and
this may have had something to do
with the mysterious manner in which
he dropped out of sight.
Lund at one. time lived on a farm
near Abercrombie.

DATES OF A. c. GAMES SETTLED
First Game, U. n. D. vs.. 4. C. In Fargo
Oct. 27-Last Game in Grand
Forks Nov. It's. D..A. C.
Date Switched.

The difficulty concerning games and
dates of games to be played on the
gridiron this fall between the uni
versity and the A. c. of Fargo has at
last been amicably settled. The A. C.
has been urging for a long time that
two games be played. and contracts
signed for the same-the first of these
to take place in Fargo on the 9th of
this month, and the last in Grand
Forks on November II. Last spring
the university signed contracts for
game with the South Dakota A. C. for
a game in South Dakota on November
Is, and with this game in view it was
almost out of the question to think of
signing for game here two days
later
To settle the difficulty the matter
was referred to the South Dakota
authorities with the result that word
was received by Manager OConnor to-
day from Mccormick of South Dakota
saying that the South Dakota date
could be changed to November 8.
Contracts with the Fargo A. c. were
therefore sent down today for the
dates October % and November 8.

The above extract from the penal
code looms up before Jack Campbell,
the travelling man charged with as
sault to commit rape. The case was
continued in Judge McIoughlin's
court this morning. The defendant
was on the stand himself. Campbell
admits unlawful cohabitation but de-
MES the story of the gun play. He
claims that he did not point a gun at
Miss Peterson, or make any threats
regarding the use of a revolver, but
that she, of her own accord, remained
in the room with him until the pangs
of conscience pricked, when she cloth
ed herself and sought the police. The
girl, 1t is said, made a very strong
witness for the prosecution, and baf-
fled almost every attempt of the law
yers to shake her testimony.
The young lady claims Minneapolis
as her home but says she has resided
in this state for about two years.
About two weeks ago she came down
from Park River expecting to go to
work for the Ontario store, but after
wards returned to Park River.
The case is being continued this af-
ternoon when the examination of wit
nesses will be concluded and the ac-
cused either released or bound over.
