COLLEGE NOTES.
Weekly Letter From the North
Dakota State Agricultural!
College.

The exhibit of live stock made by
the college at the International Live
Stock Show held recently at Chicago
attracted much attention both at
home in the state and throughout the
country at large The other colleges
that had exhibits at the show we're
very n,uch impressed with the sue
cess our college had in capturing
prizes, considering the number of
animals shown by the college and
the fact that it was the first exhibit
made by the college.
The steer ''Bob' brought the most
glory to the college by winning first
prize a. two year old grade short
horn steer and the prize as the cham
pion grade short horn of tho show
He also won second prize in a class
against two year old grades OF all
breeds. "Bob'' was bred on the farm
| OF Col. J. B. Power, but has been in
he possession of the college ever
since calfhood when Professor Rich
ards recognized in him the making
Of an international candidate, The
feeding of "Bob'' has been directly
in charge Of Mr.. Lanxon, one of our
students and it is..gratifying to che
college that our students as a result
OF their training are Capable OF per-
| forming such tasks of this nature
with such credit.
'rhe result of the prizes won at the
show demonstrate that North DakO'
ia is capable of breeding and feeding
as successfully as it can be done in
any state of the union
| When we consider that on an aver
age IS, 900 to so, 600 people visited the
show daily, there is no doubt but
that many people were more i'm
pressed with the possibilities ir
North Dakota than they were before
looking over the college exhibit.
I The Farmers Institute board me-
at the college last Wednesday whe.
fsiile fall schedule of Institutes was ap
proved and the winter schedule dis
cussed. Mr.. Kaufman was authorized
Jo proceed to the arrangement OF th'
winter institutes.
At this meeting word was received
that the Great Northern and th'
Northern..Pacifc railroads would no
be able to provide the Seed Specials
this winter on account of the item
Of expense and the "Soo' was as vel
undecided, but feared that the Inter
state Commerce Law would preven
their providing their accustomed
train.
The Live Stock Breeders associa
tion Of the state has arranged for ;
meeting at Mandan on January 81, q
and %. This meeting will proba bl!
be held in connection with meet
ing of the Farmers Institute Corps

Followed BY Misfortune--The fol-
lowing clipping from the Milwaukee
Sentinel of December II, refers to
former resident:.of Stutsman county.
The family lived -on claim near
Parkhurst for several years, from 1880
to 1886. it is stated, their farm beirg
a mile north of ths Arctic station, as
it was then called. Many old timers
may recollect the family. The burial
of the deceased referred to was by
the side of her husband in Forest
Home cemetery, Milwaukee. The
Sentinel says: 'When Mrs. Flora
Rruetzman died at the Protestant
Home for the Aged from pneumonia,
there ended a life whose cup of sor-
row and misfortune had been an over
flowing one. An accomplished musi-
clan and a women of culture, who
spoke several languages with ease,
Mrs. P1uetzman lett her native Ger
many early in the '60s, with her bus
band whose fathers estate in Ger
many adjoined that of Prince Bis
| maTck. The two families were well
acquainted, and both Mr.. and Mrs.
Preutzman soon impressed their
| A American friends with that refine
ment which Was the result of their
natural station in life. But misfor-
tune, commencing with the partial
! ncf rrn nrf hi
from Germany, pursued them in
this country. They settled on a large
farm in Waukesha county, but neith-
er of them knew anything of farm
ing. and when the remittance from
Germany finally ceased coming, the
farm was soon sacrificed. Then Mr..
Pruetzman went INTO lumber and
grocery business at Pewaukee, but he
was unified for business life. He
trusted everyone, and the inevitable
failure finally came. In 1880 he and
his wife took up a large claim in
North Dakota. Husband and wife
brought up in luxury, toiled unccm-
plainingly, but fate seemed against
them. A team of fine horses was stol.
en-, and no trace Of it ever found, land
this was but one instance Of the mis-
fortune which was their unrelenting
enemy. The losses which they suf-
fered were not all financial. While
living in Waukesha county their two
TchiIdren were taken down with diph.
liberia and both died on the same
da}, leaving their parents chillless.
After remaining in North Dakota
about eight years the couple returned
to Milwaukee, and ten years ago the
husband died as the result Of stroke
of apoplexy. Mrs. Preutzman was
admitted to the Protestant Home fol
the Aged: where the last years of hel
life were spent in comparative com
fort and lack Of worry. She was 7e
years old on Sept. 30, and was bright

N. d. G. Encampment Notes
The following is copy Of the obser-
vations made by Lieutenant Colonel
Dodd, 10th cavalry, who was chief
umpire at the Camp uf Instruction,
Fort D. A. Russell, Wyoming, with
respect to the North Dakota Nation
al Guards. This shows that the
North Dakota National Guard ac
quilted itself creditably, and will be
Of interest to readers and friends OF
the militia: Lieutenant Colonel
Treumann, CON manding the regi-
ment, handled it well while in camp:
getting out Of it service as effective as
the limited time would permit, and
was rewarded by material and sat
isfactory..progress. A large proportion
of tile officers and enlisted men of the
regimen had actual service in the
Philippines. The field and staff
seemed TO be men of especially good
moral and mental standing, possess
ing considera BILE military experience,
jealous and energetic in their duties.
The company officers seemed also to
be men of general good department,
with remarka bly, low percentage Of
| the worthless element, all anxious to
learn everything pertaining to their
military duties. The enlisted men
were sturdy, active and seemed to be
of superior class, especially physi-
| cally. The former service training of
a goodly proportion of them tended
to give s,the organiZa lion steadiness
not always found. Their general be-
havior was as usually found in Ma
tional Guard organizations, where
lines Of demarcation separating
grades of rank are rarely sufficiently
we'll defined. These men also showed
especial aptitude and and spirit ir
the performance of their field duties
In case OF necessity, probably ninet!
per cent of this regiment, as it ap
peared in camp, would be made al
once available for actual service.

Navv.Yard Waata.

One Of the worst sins Of omission Of
the navy department is the wasteful
way in which good ships are allowed

they could be made to do good service

this way. Vessels that would be Of

For some minutes the young man
had been talking of the weather. Pro-
ceeding from q casual reference to the
evenings temperature, he plunged into
a spirited discussion of the climate Of
the United States in general, its ad.-
vantages, its eccentricities and the
chief respects wherein 1t differs from
that Of the British Isles, with special
reference to the relative conditions in
New York and London.
Presently, by an abrupt transition,
he broke away from the subject.
Il came here tonight to say some
thing to you, Miss Morton, something
that means a great deal to me-"
"That sounds interesting. Why don't
you say it,"
