34l STUDENTS ENROLL AT The u
University OF North Dakota Opens for lis Twentovh Annual
Session-Wesley College Opens.

The University of North Dakota
opened for its twenty-fourth annual
session Tuesday under most favorable
circumstances. and with every indi-
cation that the ensuing year will be
the most successful in the history of
the institution. Tuesday was registra-
ton day, and the Office force spent a
busy day in taking care of the con-
tinual stream of students. The enroll
ment was BAL, including the students
of the law department, as against an
enrolment of 3O6 en- the opening day
of last year.
In speaking of the enrolment Regis
trar Oates pointed out as significant
the fact that out of the 341 enrolling,
165 We're new students. The old stu
dents are generally slow in returning,
and every train brings in number of
late arrivals. 1t is expected that the
enrolment to-day will add a consider
able number of additional names to
the list. Then, too. the backwardness
OF the season has much to do with the
time when many of the students find
it possible to leave their homes, owing
to the pressure of fall work. One of
the professors who had charge of the
enrolment in his department said that
several students remarked that they
had come to town merely to enroll and
would go back to their homes. return

Brewing Companies Have Decided to
Cut Depot Agents off Payroll.
Following the threat of the railway
companies doing business in North
Dakota that they would refuse beer
shipments if the brewing concerns
continued to give the depot agents a
commission CHI the goods handled, the
brewing companies have agreed to
give no more commissions. 1t was the
claim of the railway companies that
the agents were devoting too much
attention to the LIQUOR handling bust.
ness and not enough to other mat.
tiers. The real reason for the action
of the companies is believed to have
been the attitude of Gov. Burke to.
ward tie liquor traffic. and the fear
that in prohibition circles the railway
companies would be charged with
seeking to further the interests of the
liquor men.
Brewing agents at East Grand

news that the distillers of Sweden
have organized a liquor trust, which

suspicious Circumstances Surround
Disappearance Of 2.Year.oId Boy.
A two-year-old boy belonging to
Cora Stack, who resides five miles east
og Ypsilanti, village twenty miles
south Of Jamestown. wandered away
from its home about 10 o'clock Mon.
day forenoon, and the most diligent
search fails to give the least clue to
the child's whereabouts. The little
fellow was seen shortly before he
was missed, playing about the house.
His mother, upon calling for the boy,
was alarmed to get no response to
her endeavors to find him.
The alarm was soon spread among
the few neighbors, as the county is
rather thinly settled there. and a
search was at once begun. AS others
learned of the lost little child, other
neighbors Joined the searchers. The
hunt was continued through the night,
and Tuesday the number of those in
quest of the little wanderer was dou-
bled, and with only space of a few
rods from one man to the next every
square foot of the country for miles
around was secured. Up to noon to.
day not the least clue has rewarded
the long search.
The county officials and other citi.
zens may take up the case, and, If pos.
sible, solve the mystery. AS the nights
are quite cold, many are of the opin.
ion that tho 1ftt1o follou hoe ,,ors,t,o/a
and that II ever found life will have
departed.
There are some features Of the af.
fair that clothe the matter with an
air Of mystery.
1t is said that the mother of the
lost child is keeping house for two
bachelors named Clyde and George
Hagan, well-to-do farmers and men Of
good standing in the neighborhood.
