THE FUNERAL HELD TODAY
Remains OF Chas. Lucian Taken TO
Cr0Okston-Buried This Morning.

Sam Lucian, the father OF the un-
fortunate young man who was acct
dentally killed at Dilworth Wednesday
afternoon, accompanied by ]. Leblanc,
who IL the head OF the A. o. u. w.
lodge in Crookston went to Moorhead
last evening and brought back the re-
mains to that city.
Lucian, who, until two weeks ago,
worked in this city, was working as
a mason at Dilworth on some new
buildings which the N. P. is erecting
at that place and was going from his
work across the tracks to his board
ing house. A freight train was stand
ing on the siding waiting for pas
senger which does not stop at Dill
worth and goes through that town at
full speed. Lucian passed in front of
the freight and went to cross the
track of which the passenger train
was approaching. The engineer of the
freight saw that he did not see the
passenger train and he called to him,
but Lucian either did not hear or did
not understand as he stepped directly
in front OF the passenger engine to
his death. Death was instantaneous.

FORMAL OPENING Y. N. CA.
Large Crowd of Interested Visitors
Took Possession of Building
Gym Work Applauded,

The fall opening of the Y. M. C. A.
building last night attracted q throng
Of people and the loud and frequent
applause during the athletic exhibit
ton showed the appreciation of ath-
letic skill and ability. 1t is estimated
that between four and five hundred
people were in the building during the
program. The building itself seemed
to catch the spirit of the occasion and
showed its advantages with good
effect to the many strangers who
looked it over.
After the music by the Boys orches-
ira and the athletic work the time
was spent in social way. Delight
ful refreshments were served as a fin
+ ishing touch to a very successful eve
ming.
Naturally the gymnasium work at
tracted the most attention. The squad
of athletes went through the various
work and tumbling drills and then
individual members worked on the
parallel and horizontal bars. The
work of Professor Running on the
rings and parallel bars brought forth
rounds of applause DIR. Adams ex-
ercise on the horse and buck were al
so loudly applauded. In the boys
tumbling the work of Shorty" Opsahl
and Myron Bacon created considerable
surprise. The other boys in Secre-
tary Eamens' squad also did good
work.
The bowling alleys are undergoing
thorough cleaning and securing and
so were not in use, but within a few
days the alleys will be in constant de-
mand.
The gathering last evening consti-
tuted the regular formal opening of
the work in the building for the year.
Glasses both in athletic and educa-
tional work will commence tomorrow.
Physical Director Fitzgerald has pre-
pared a schedule of classes as pro-
viously announced.

considerable agitation for another in
stitution along the same lines, a Young
Women's Christian association. but
plans for this addition to the city
have not yet been drawn up or active
work commenced. Across the street
from the Y. NJ. C. A. is the magnificent
Carnegie library. the finest in the
state, with its thousands of volumes
and it's research and study rooms.
Plans for new 100000 library at the
university are also under way and this
will mean much to the students of
that institution when completed. In
connection with these public libraries
plan is now under way for the es-
adjustment Of library school. 4
school of this sort is for the training
Of librarians for libraries and is a
rare thing. The only two large schools
in the country are at New York and
Washington, D. c. This local school
will be the only one west of Chicago.
In the city of Grand Forks alone
there are about twenty-five religious
institutions and during the last year
great improvements in every direc-
ton have been noted. Several changes
in pastors have been announced and
church work in general will assume
more lively tone from now on. The
recent church conferences have also
done much to stimulate church work.

SET THE DOUBTS. At REST
New Amendment TO be Voted Upon at
Next Election in Polk County
Want Law Changed.

prominent church worker of the
city wrote Attorney General Young a
few days ago asking for information
concerning the wide-open tax amend
ment to be voted upon by the voters
OF Polk county at the coming election.
At present the constitution exempts
churches, church property used for
religious purposes, houses of worship,
etc. In the new amendment the
words used for church purposes" are
lett out and local people were set to
thinking whether the omission of the
words would or would not exempt
from taxation any church property
whether used for religious purposes
or not.
Attorney General Young says as
follows: Il beg to state that, in my
opinion, the omission of the words re-
ferred to from the constitution will
not and could not have the effect
feared by the critics.
I'm the first place, it is universal
rule Of construction that laws provid-
ing for exemptions from taxation will
be strictly construed, SO that one
claiming exemption must bring him
self clearly within the terms of the
law. In such laws nothing is to be
implied. The courts will give the
language used its narrowest meaning.
In the second place, it is univer-
sally held, under exemptions of this
kind. where church property or school
property is referred to, that it is the
use and not the ownership that is the
test OF the exemption.
BY the term Church property rs
used in the statute, is pialnly meant
the church-defined by Webster to be
building set apart for Christian wor-
ship-and lot of reasonable size for
its location
ut Is the well-established policy in
this and other states to exempt from
taxation only such property owned by
religious organizations as is used
strictly for church purposes. The leg
islature never thought of changing
that policy. The words referred to
were omitted because they were I'M
necessary and therefore bad English.
The words used for religious pur-
poses in connection with the term
Church property would not, in this
law, make its meaning clearer. 1t is
use that determines its character, and
to be church property it must be used
exclusively for church purposes"

NEW YORK ATTORNEY N THE CITY
Leading New York Politician In the
City Tells of Eastern Politics.

w. f. Haupt, one of the leading
members of the bar of Buffalo, New
York, arrived in this city yesterday
and will remain in the county for a
few days. He is the personal repre-
sentative of the estate of the late
Eugene Butler. who left considerable
land property near Larimore in this
county. He is here for the purpose
of renting the land and looking after
the property in general. He is full
to overlooking with New York politics.
He says that Hughes. the republican
candidate for governor, will receive
seventy-five per cent of the votes of
the democrats of the state who own
property, and who are tax payers.
Hearst is depending upon the votes of
the labor unions, but Mr.. Haupt
thinks these will not all stay with the
yellow journalist He believes Hughes
will be elected by 100000 majority,
breaking the record made by Grover
Cleveland when he was the democratic
candidate for governor and received
4 majority of $4,000.

NEARLY 5000 STUDENTS IN
GRAND FORKS INSTITUTIONS

Since the actual building OF Wes-
ley college edifice has been started,
work along educational lines has re-
ceived new impetus. A little review
of the schools in the city and the num-
Der of pupils who daily attend these
institutions will occasion some sur
prise. Some of the schools located in
this city are as follows: High school,
Wilder public school, Grand Forks COL
lege, Belmont public school. Union
Business college, Winship school.
Central school, Northwestern Business
college. University of North Dakota,
Wesley college. Y. NJ. C. A. school,
State Law school and the State School
of Mines. Without doubt there are en-
rolled in the above mentioned educa-
tional institutions between 1900 and
$500 persons or about one-fourth of
the total population of the city. Then
across the river is the East Grand
Forks public school. with an enroll
ment of 600 pupils and the high school
with an added ITS. >, This brings the
total in the two cities to about $500
students. Nearly five thousand per-
sons in the two cities doing student
work seems large number

great number of students, giving them
employment in the day time and work
and study in the evenings. There is
