BENEFITED BY THE SNOW
A Blessing in Disguise is Opinion of
Many Relative to the Fall of the
Beautiful.

Since the railroads have opened up
their branch lines and the farmers
have succeeded in getting through to
the various towns, it is learned that
the fuel situation was not nearly so
great as was reported. Such condi-
tons, it developes, were confined to
isolated sections.
Farmers are preparing for their
spring work and the belief is general
that the heavy snow which is now
fast disappearing into the soil, will
result in large crop. There will be
some water probably in the depres-
sions, but this will have disappeared
by the time for spring blowing, which
will be earlier this year than for many
seasons, owing to the water drawing
the frost from the ground. In fact,
with the exception of few cases of
hardship, the entire state will be
benefited by the winters heavy snow,
while the people will remember and
guard against a recurrence Of fuel
shortage, though it is doubtful if such
condition will ever again occur.
Land seekers are as keen as ever
in the search for homesteads and
farms, and a heavy immigration is
looked for this year. In fact, it has
already begun.

SENIORS SELECT MEMORIAL
University Graduating class Of 1907
Will Leave Portrait of Presi.
dent Merrifield.

Student: At the meeting held last
Friday afternoon the senior classes
took final action on the prom and the
class memorial propositions. The
committee reporting favorably, it was
decided to have class dance some
evening during commencement week.
The memorial selected is to be a life
size painting of President Webster
Merrifield. The work will probably
be done by Miss Heiser, who very
recently painted the portrait of Judge
Amidon at Fargo; and those who have
seen her work say that Miss Heiser
is certainly an artist.
At this meeting it was also decided
to have each department select one
representative to meet with Mr.. Koch
and make the final selection of class
play and choose the caste of charac-
tiers. The two plays favored by the
classes are "As You Like It" and
tom Pinch" Owing to the difficulty
in getting stage settings, the latter
will probably be selected, although
the test vote of the classes was In
favor Of the former.
Those selected to represent their de-
partments are: Marshall Brannon,
arts, chairman of committee; Hazel
Darlington, normals; Olger B. Burt
neses, laws; Evan J. McIlraith, en-
'gineers.

positively that she had ever seen him
before or that she had gone to him
with Jack Barrymore. She testified
that shortly after she met Thaw he
sent her some flowers at the theatre
and $50. She said she sent the money
back.
Justice Fitzgerald ruled out the
question when District Attorney Jer-
ONE asked Mrs. Thaw IL Stanford
White had not urged her to have Jack
Barrymore arrested on the charge of
seduction.
In telling Of her trip to Europe,
Mrs. Thaw said she used only some
of Whites letter of credit and it was
for her mother. She got all of it.
Thaw had said the money was
poison"
At the conclusion of the morning
session of court Jerome seemed to
have made little progress today. AL
though his cross-examination still is
far from complete, as a matter of fact
the prosecutor enabled Mrs. Thaw to
explain a number of things which
appeared very much against her and
the defendant last week. With regard
to Stanford Whites letter of credit
which she had in Europe, she de-
clared she had not been informed of
the letter until at sea. She denied
ever having used a penny of it her
self, but said her mother had got it
all, Thaw turning it over to her. Thaw
declared the money was poison"
With regard to cabling to Stanford
White from London, Mrs. Thaw de-
clared it had to do with her mother
and an attache of the American en-
bassy in the English capital. This
attache, she said, had "sneaked up to
my mothers bedroom and insulted
her." Mrs. Thaw denied that the
cablegram had anything to do with
her going of to Europe with Thaw.
Evelyn Thaw resumed the stand
after recess.
Jerome reading from the statement
he secured from Mrs. Holman, asked
the witness if her mother and Miss
Simonton had not gone to White upon
their return from Europe and taxed
him with the girls story of her down.

came from the city school. AS pre-

cases of Scarletina have developed at
the Mayville Normal also, and the
cases have been taken to the hospital.
