Hopes TO Reduce Rates.

Congressman Smith is understood TO be
seeking cooperation from influential peo-
pie In this movement TO regulate the
telegraph companies. and he is encouraged
10 believe that definite results Will be
secured at the hands Of his fellow law
makers. His plan TO subject the tele-
graph companies TO regulation, as we'll as
TO secure reduction of their rates, has
received impetus from the recent in
crease In telegraph rates Indeed IT
looks as though the companies had played
something OF joke on Congressman
Smith, for after he had announced his
intention of making a fight next winter
for reduction from the old rates, they
boosted the tolls still higher
1T looks 10 me-" said Mr.. Smith, ''ae
though the telegraph companies saw trou-
bic ahead and raised their rates In prepa-
ration for II. Their plan. apparently, is
to try to make their new rates the basis
of reduction instead OF the old rates
Thus they hope that when the tight is all
over their rates will be at least as high
as they were formerly. But I'll miss my
guess II they fool us by any such means
as that

There was an unusually large at
tendance of North Dakota teachers
at the twentieth annual session of the
North Dakota Educational association

attractive and the interest never
tagged during the three days session.
Important addresses were delivered by
leading educators. More interest was
created in the subject of compulsory
attendance at the schools and the
methods of inforcing the law than All;
other subject.
At the general association President
Berg's annual address was followed by
the annual address Of the heads of all
the departments. N. C. Mcdonald
spoke for the high school council, Prof.
Squires for the college and norma,
section, State Superintendent Stock

MAYOR cLAPs ON LID.
Blind Piekeepers and Gamblers at

Blind Pigkeepers and Gamblers at
Bismarck Warned to Quit.
Every saloon and gambling place In
Bismarck has been closed by order Of
the mayor, who instructed his police to
see that the places remained closed
under penalty Of prosecution. The Or
der applies to hotels also, and the
thirst of the legislators will be some
thing terrible to contemplate.
For month the Tribune has been
fighting for clean city. In spite of
this warfare the piggers and gamblers
Haunted the boast that they could not
be suppressed, as they were protected
by some of the aldermen.
Thirty leading business men talked
the matter over and decided that the
saloons and gamblers must go. They
sent for the mayor and made known
their wishes, stating that they would
stand by him. The sheriff also agreed
to help.
The chief of police was sent for and
instructed by the mayor to close the
blind pigs and card games at once and
to keep them closed, and the chief and
sheriff at once notified the lawbreak-
ers to close.

THE STATE FAIR REPORT,
Il Has Been Filed With the Governor
by Secretary Wilson.

Il Has Been Filed With the Governor
by Secretary Wilson.
Secretary Wilson Of the North Da
kota State Fair association has sub
mitted his report with the report Of
the executive committee of the state
fair association to the governor. Tho
law requires that the secretary shall
submit complete report of the fair
that was held during the year on or be.
for Jan. following the holding of the
fai-.
In the report there were number
of recommendations and they also con-
tanned the amount of expenditures
and the receipts, the number of build
tngs and the cost of the same and all
other information connected with the
holding of the fair.
In its report the executive commit
tee, among other recommendations to
the governor, asks that the governor
in his message to the legislature re-
quest the amendment of the law regu.
lating the providing for the holding OF
state fairs.
One section of the law as it now
stands provides that a report shall be
made on farming and experimental
farming. The fair association is un-
able to make such tests and it is rec
commended in the report that the law
be amended so as not to require a re.
port on experimental farming. 1t is
also recommended that the dairy in
dustry be encouraged and that build.
ing be provided on the state fair
grounds for the exhibition of dairy
products.
Appended to the report was copy
of the premium list of last year and
a copy of the contracts for the build
ings constructed on the grounds. A
list of winners who exhibited at tho
state fair won prizes and who also
carried off hoaors at the International
Stock show at Chicago last month,
was included in the report.

BADLY HURT; SAVES COMRADES.

Gasoline Explosion Severely Injuries
Three Men.
Christ Helly, Oscar Fossum and
Ralph Stevenson are in a critical con-
dition from burns received as the re-
suit Of an explosion which occurred in
the house they were occupying near
Hannah.
The three men were "baching," and
arriving home in the evening, started
to prepare supper. A fire had just
been started in the kitchen range
when a terrific explosion occurred,
throwing all three of the men to the
floor and enveloping them in flames.
Helly. although stunned by the explo-
sion and suffering from severe burns,
finally succeeded in dragging himself
into an adjoining room from which he
reached the outside landing The door
leading to the kitchen was locked, but
he succeeded In battering it down and
dragging his companions out and down
the stairs. Their clothing was OH fire
and they were compelled to roll about
in the snow until the flames were ex-
tinguished. Then, in spite of the des.
perate nature Of their injuries, the
three men returned to the house and
fought the flames, at last being sue.
cessful in quenching them.
The explosion was caused by the is-
milton Of gasoline fumes which had
escaped from a, leaky brazier. Tho
room had filled with gas during the alb
sence of the men and when the fire in
the range was started and the air in
the room had reached the proper tenn.
rerature. the explosion occurred. The
ceiling Of the room was raised several
inches and the walls bulged out by the
force Of the explosion.
All three men were terribly burned
about their faces and hands, and the
exposed portions of their bodies were
literally burned to a crisp. There is
some hope, however, that all may re
cover.
