BUSINESS COLLEGE NOTES.

We are pleased to report a present
enrolment Of 81, being just one more
student than our total enrolment OF
last year, and we have more than five
months school yet before us aud every
reason to believe that this our second
years attendance will not fall much
below the 100 mark. This means
strictly individual students, no one
counted twice, and the ones taking
combined course work are not, as
most schools consider, two, but as one
! My. Surely the citizens of st. Fran
co.'s aud adjoining counties are realiz-
ing that the most uSable education of
to-day s that offered by the com.
mercal schools. OF course there are
some exceptions, but thore seems to
be no need Of sous and daughters
spending three or four years in getting
a general education, where an average
young woman can, in one years time,
IN a Business College, be qualified to
60 out into the office world and com.
mand a salary (not D or months in
a year, but / / and II months. A
hint to the wise should be sufficient.
President Mootharl sent Fred Isen-
man to Ste. Gcneyieyc las; Tues day
morning to assist Mr. Kim, the Official
Court Stenographer. While MIR.
lsenman is not through with his steno-
graphic work, he is specially accurate
and thorough in what he does, conse-
quently was selected to assist Mr.. Kim.
This is another instance showing that
wehave many calls for graduates and
cannot accommodate those asking Office
help or assistants.
Mr.. j. NJ. Malcom, who graduated
10 the business department of the
Moothart School in DeSotO last year,
was very welcome and much inter.
ested visitor In our school this week.
Mr.. Macom has gone into the furn.
tbAO pbSiutoo ~ hHNl huuN-
ing him as we do, we predict success
IN any enterprise he may undertake.
| A general code of regulations have
gone into effect, and while VIC are
pleased to say that few students
really come under most of these rules,
yet virtually all willingly comply with
the demand Of the school, and even
better work is expected in the future
than we have been getting in the past,
which has been very satisfactory.
Prof Moothart has Just issued a
new College journal, entitled the New
Education. He will be pleased to
send to every young person copy of
this journal free. There are many
articles of interest and value contained
therein, and it may be had BY send
ing a postal card requesting free
copy.

MYSTERIOUS AT FAIR.
Young Woman Says She Was Gagged
and Thrown into Well Of Night
by Q Man.

Last Wednesday night about eleven
O'Clock Miss Grace Ruthwell of VIII
low Springs, who is attending school
at Carleton College and does house
work ut Mr.. ". A. Kennedy's for her
board, awakened Mrs. Mason, Mr..
KcnnedS's daughter, and told her that
man had grabbed and gagged her at
the back porch aud carried and thrown
her into the well. She was dripping
wet from her hair to her feet, chilled
through and hystercal. Mrs. Mason
awoke her father, who Immediately
phoned for DR.. Blanks and Sheriff
Crokc. Mrs. Mason in the meantime
disrobed the young woman OF her
dreDchrd clothing, administered stim-
hants and put her to bed.
1t seems that MIR, Kennedy and Mrs
Mason had retired early and Miss
Rothwell stayed up 10 study her les.
sons. About 10 O'Clock MIR. Mason,
| Mr kennedy's sOn-in-law, came in,
and seeing the young woman still up
told her she had better 60 to bed aud
went on to his room. The story told
| by Hiss RothwelI is, that she continued
studying until about eleven O'Clock,
when she stepped out on to the back
porch, was seized by man, gagged
and carried to the well and thrown in,
Ms related above. The well is about
80 tee; deep, aud the water comes to
within s or 10 feet Of the top. She
SAYS she went to the bottom, aud rs
she arose to the surface caught on To
the Jagged rocks aud succeeded in
climbing out and making her way to
the house,
\ number Of neighbors were at
tracted by the excitement, and Sheriff
Cruke aud some of the men made Il
careful inspection OF the ground from
the house to the we'll. They discovered
the footprints of the young woman
going to the well and also FROM the
well to the house with signs of her
dripping clothing, but did not discover
the footsteps of any man, or evidence
of struggle OF any kind except that
made by the young woman in getting
out of the well. 1t is probable that
Miss Rothwel was laboring under
some haluncation that caused her to
go to the well and jump IN, or that
she fell asleep while studying and In a
state Of somnabulism walked to the
, well and jumped in, dreaming that she
was being carried aud thrown in by a
man. She had dreamed few nights
, before that she fell into the well.

ARBoR DAY PROCLAMATION. .

State of North Dakota, Executive
Mansion, Bismarck Forest trees are
Of mighty Importance in the economy
of nature. They shelter man and
beast from winters icy blast and from
summers scorching sun. They supply
man with fuel for his fireside and lum-i
Der for his home. They have bene-
fetal influence upon the rainfall, the
air, and the soil; and in the spring
time their emerald hued tops are vocal
of the songs of birds, while
from underneath their foliage rings
out the still sweeter music of chill
hoods happy laughter.
For all these, and for the purpose of
encouraging the planting and cultiva-
ton of forest tree. and in accordance
with a long established custom, I do
hereby designate
Friday, May Sd, as Arbor Day
for this state. as day set apart for
the planting of trees, shrubs, flowers.
and vines, for the identifying Of
homes, public schools and public
grounds. The only exercises held in
the public schools on this day should
be those relating to forestry and kind
red subjects, thus awakening in chill
dren the Inherent love for tree and
bird and flower and impressing them
with their great Importance and beau
ty. Let each and all unite in stimuli
taneous effort to beautify the home,
the school, the field and farm, by plant
ing trees, shrubs, vines and flowers,
that will yield an annual harvest OF
! bud, blossoms, leaf and flower. for this
!. and generations yet to come, as the
