two coats beng Kept in the settlement
in case of double wedding, and
whether the bridegroom be tall or
short, large or small, the coat must
do its duty.
With the ceremony over, the guests
and the bridal couples went to the
eating house, where a big dinner COM
posed of noodle soup, bread, beef,
sauerkraut, whiskey and wine was
served. The women occupied one
long table and the men another, but
the bridal couples We're allowed to sit
together. With the dinner over came
the interesting part of the ceremony,
and that is the love scene which fol-
lows Russian wedding. The COM
pany went to what is called the love-
room in one of the houses, where be-
fore the assembled crowd the brides
and bridegrooms sat with arms
around each other, billing and cooling,
oblivious to the comments and watch
full eyes of the others. AS a sort of
break in the monotony for the brides
one of the young ladies filled the
aprons of the brides with peanuts and
candy, which they munched with COM
placency as the joyous festivities pro-
ceeded. At nine o'clock the love
scene broke up and the day of the
wedding came to an end

AN EXECUTION IN INDIA.
How Sentence Of Death Was Car.
ried Out on Streets Of Hyderabad.

The decision as to whether the
murderer should be executed or i'm
prisoned for life was, says the Civil and
Military Gazette in describing an exc.
cution at Hyderabad of Pathan who
had shot his brother-in-law, as is
usual, left to the murdered mans rela-
tives, and his wife, the sister of the
murderer, voted for death.
On the day for the execution there
appeared in the streets a band of
sweepers armed with leafy twigs, fol-
lowed by squad of the city Arab
police with fixed bayonets. Then
came the criminal, dressed in new
white garments, with new halter
around his neck and new ropes at
tached to his arms. The ends of
these ropes were held by policemen.
The ordinary thing is for the con-
demned man to walk, but in this case
he was so overcome that he had to be
conveyed in jutka.
On arriving at the fatal spot the
murderer was made to kneel down,
while the policemen handed over
charge of the cords to the execution
er's attendants one of whom, selling
the end of the halter stood in front
of the felon, whils others held the
cords pinioning his arms behind. The
executioner, brandishing broad,
heavy sword, keen as razor, in a
suggestive fashion, and prancing up
towards his victim asked three times
in loud voice: "Who authorizes the
execution" The chief of the city po.
lice on duty thrice replied: "The
Amin"
Then an attendant armed with
long needle pricked the condemned
man in the back, causing him to start
forward. At the same instant those
holding the cords laid themselves
back in opposite directions as in a
tug-of-war contest, with the result
that the wretch's neck was stretched;
and, following the reply of the chief
of police, the eXecutioner's blade de-
scended fair and true on the neck,
severing the head completely.

| From this table it will be seen that
in Russia only LOB per cent of the
population attend school; and this fact
may, in measure, account for the
opposition to the enforcement Of the
law in this country
1t is a lamentable fact that there
are people residing in this community,
enjoying the political and religious
freedom, equal rights of suffrage, full
privileges of the free public school
for their children and the general
hospitality of the greatest republic
in the world, who harbor in their
hearts feeling antagonistic to Am
erica's greatest institution, the free
public school.
1t is lamentable fact that there
are young men and women in this
county, who have grown from child
hood to manhood and womanhood
within a few minutes walk of free
school, who can neither read nor
write. So long as these conditions
prevail, the unoscupulous politician
may we'll say, well, we got those
ID Russians" for, until those who
exercise the right OF suffrage can read
intelligently the ballot placed before
them, some one is going to get them.
This is equally applicable to all ma
tionalities.
1t is these very conditions that we
hope to improve by developing the
mind of the child and enabling him to
think and act for himself. The first
step in this process of evolution is
to get the child associated with the
school.
The school census taken last June
showed that out of approximately
three thousand school children in
Stark county, but one thousand five,
hundred seventy-five had been enroll
ed in school for period Of sixty days
during the previous year and that one
thousand one hundred thirty-four had
not been enrolled at all. A little
less than Is per cent of this number
were either attending school outside

BROUGHT SUIT FOR DAMAGES
B. J. Ness, the Devils Lake Druggists
Case Was up Before Court in
Minneapolis This Week.

Attorney P. J. Mcclory of Devils
Lake passed through Grand Forks en-
route home from Minneapolis where he
has been attending to some matters
of business in connection with the suit
of B. J. Ness against the Gasoline Gas
company. Mr.. Ness brought an action
against this gas company, alleging
that on account of defective gas
plant, he was seriously injured. The
accident in which Mr.. Ness was in
jufed occurred at Devils Lake year
ago, and considerable demage was
done. when an explosion took place in
the drug store operated by Mr.. Ness.

the county, had completed the COM
mon school course, were mentally or
physically incapacitated or lived more
than two and one-half miles from
school. This leaves a total of nearly
one thousand children of school age
In this county who were within two
and one-half miles of school and were
never enrolled but were deprived of
this sacred privilege by carless and
indifferent parents.
The present law went into effect on
July LIST, 1905, and since that time
nave caused it to be published in the
various newspapers of the county and
nave frequently commented on it
through the press. l have issued cir
cular letters to every school board
IN the county, urging them to impress
upon the patrons of their district the
necessity of sending their children to
school and calling attention to. the
financial loss to the tax payers which
must needs result from decreased
enumeration.
Circular letters have been issued to
the teachers, insisting that they do all

ing to become good citizens?
Fines have been imposed on a very
few poor people for it has been my
purpose to make examples of those
who are we'll able to pay. 1t is true
that the really poor people are the
ones who are most willing to sacrifice
to send their children to school while
those who have accumulated some
wealth value most highly the utility
of the child as producer.
The position of one who encourages
the people to ignore the public sschoo
and the laws relating thereto is Ger.
tainly not an enviable one.
In conclusion, 1 wish to emphasize
the fact that this law will be enforced
! without fear or favor for the next two
years; and if, by so doing, may be
instrumental in securing to three OF
four hundred boys and girls two years
schooling and an additional three OF
four thousand dollars to Stark coun
ty from the state school fund as re
suit of the increased enumeration,
shall feel that some good results have
| attended my efforts.

WHY COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
County Superintendent Lloyd RAIDER
Of Stark County, N. D., Gives
An Interesting Write Up
on This Subject.

The "Protest" appearing in last
weeks issue of this paper has prompt
ed me to present some facts relative
to compulsory education ana condi-
lions existing in this country.
The enactment and enforcement of
compulsory education laws have al
ways been opposed by those who look
ed upon them as an infringement on
personal liberty and limitation of
paternal authority, and by those who
were opposed to the education of the
masses. Not until statistics had pro-
ven beyond the shadow of a doubt
that crime and pauperism bear direct
ratio to the illiteracy of a commun-
ity, did the state feel justified in say
ing to the parent, "You shall send
your child to school,"
We recognize Germany as having at
tanned the highest degree of efficiency,
educationally, of the several countries
of the world. This efficiency dates
. from the enactment Of her first COM
pulsory education law by the Prussians
in the middle of the seventeenth CEN
fury, and Germany today attributes
her rapid strides toward commercial
and Industrial supremacy in Euorpe
to the general education of her peo-
pie.
Thirty-six states of our Union and
nearly all of the leading countries of
Europe now have compulsory educa-
tion laws with penalties for the VIOLA
ton of the same ranging from min
imum fine of one dollar to maxi
mum fine of two hundred dollars with
Imprisonment.
The following table shows the ratio
of elementary pupils to the population
of the principal countries of Europe

Queer Thinus Made From Milk.


You could build house of milk, If
you liked, and it would be as strong
and lasting as though made of Aber-
deem granite, says NJ. Glen Fling in
Technical World Magazine. More
over. all the fittings could be made
of the same substance, and they
would outlive the finest ordinary ma
terial that was ever constructed.
Billiard balls. combs. fancy boxes
and many other things are made from
the new substance, galalith, which is
made from milk.
There is really no limit to the
articles which can be made from gal
alith. 1t takes dyes readily and in
ferior grades are colored. The best
remain white, however. for white gal
alith brings the highest price because
Of it's similarity to ivory. The first
grade of white galalith is made up in
to knife handles. and it brings al.
most as high a figure as would so
much ivory.
Galalith is the best substitute for
ivory ever discovered, for it is smooth
toNthe touch. retains its soft, creamy
tinting for years, is not marred by
soap and water and. unlike celluloid.
is proof against fire. 1t does not chip
or crack like bone, and can be cut
into the most delicate shapes. being
tough and not easily broken.
In Austria something like 100000
quarts of skinned milk are used daily
for the purpose of making galalith.
and the industry is largely on the in
crease. The article describes the
process of making this queer sub
stance.

!, HOME AND SCHOOL

In the face of unqualified opposi-
tion from Miss Margaret Haley, Jane
Adams has put through plan for
Chicago schools which can hardly
fail ito effect teachers and school sys-
tems In. other parts. Of the country.
Miss Addams's plan provides that
every teacher in the public schools
shall be required to devote one after
noon weekly for ten weeks in alter
nate school years to study at the
Chicago normal school or in the nor
NAL extension department. Each
teacher is to be allowed this time for
sturdy with full pay, and substitute
is to be employed at every school to
carry on the work of the teachers dur
ing their absence. This provision will
mean the expenditure of $37 500 year
for the salaries of the substitutes.
Under the plan one-half of the entire
teaching force will take the courses
each year.
A new association has been formed
in Boston that every city would profit
in initiating, a parents association
connected with the public schools.
There are already no less than six
of these organizations in different
parts of Boston, seeking to bring about
a more intimate acquaintance and
spirit of cooperation between teach
ers and parents. Meetings are held
evenings in the schoolhouses, and
parents become we'll acquainted with
teachers of their boys and girls and
have them in their homes. This re-
lationship must result in great bene-
fit to all concerned, and every village
in the land should have a Parents
Association.

An Iowa Woman Who Suf- fered for Six Years and was Cured by Dr Williams
 Pink Pills.

Every woman will recognize the | symptoms described by Mrs Stella Livermore, of Anthon, Iowa, who says '1 was sick for six years and often | had dizzy spells, when blurr would | come over my eyes and it seemed as | though I was looking through smoked glass. My limbs were swollen and ach- ed and often there would be such sharp, shooting pains through them, that I.would have to cry out. I also had a great deal of pain back of my eyes. through the top of my head and the back of my neck. When resting on the pillow, my head felt as though it was lying on rocks. Every once and a while my face would flush up and get as hot as coal. My stomach distressed me by dull, burning sensation and anything with acid would generally disagree with me. I was so weak in my back that I could hardly turn over in bed or raise up when I stopped over. I was also troubled a great deal from rheumatism in my right arm and shoulder and for three years couldn't [ do my ironing or homework Ewith that arm. My condition nearly brought on nervous prostration.
 ''I tried to keep up and do what work I could, but there would be a week at time when I would have to lie in bed. I became completely run down and weighed only little over 100 pounds. I used the doctors medicine for some time, but without, it's helping me. gave that up and tried several remedies with no better results.
