ILL.,, on the c. B. & Q. X. R. between the

route to Dickinson to visit his daughter,
Mrs. Sexton, and also to settle dispute
regarding his section of land just south

The main study and recitation room is
located north of the main corridor and
about half way between the first and sec
ond floors. This room is well lighted,
heated and ventilated and will accom-
modate 80 pupils.
On the. second floor is arranged a
series of sleeping rooms, furnishing very
neat quarters for the Sisters and the
boarding pupils. Bath rooms, toilets
and everything needful for comfortable
living is furnished in the spotlessly clean
dormitory.
The chapel, over the recitation and
study room, with its beautifully dec
Grated altar, is the most beautiful room
in the building, but this may be changed
a little later to one Of the smaller rooms
in order to afford additional quarters to
the boarding pupils.

building. The contract will be big

The proposed new brick store building
is to be 60 by 80 feet, full basement, ID

fine corner on Broadway just east of the
livery stable recently purchased by Geo.
OFT. There will be an entrance on
both streets, the German Mercantile Co.
occupying the entire first floor, excepting
possibly the corner rooms, which are
arranged with view to bank quarters.
The German Mercantile Co. has been
doing very large business since its
doors were opened in the spring and the
stockholders feel that they must have
larger quarters and permanent home
as soon as possible. II the structure is
carried out according to drawings. it will
be the largest and best store building in
Dickinson. !. >
The officers Of the German Mercantile
Co. expect to see Barnes street opened

WILL NOT MOVE
From Right Of Way Until
Sprina

Agent Kilmer was authorized this
week by Supt. Rapelje to notify all
parties at Dickinson, located on the right
Of way and paying rental at the local
agents office, that they could remain
where they we're until spring.
This extension of time is granted be.
cause of the delay in the construction OF
the new depot, it now being apparen,
that the building will not be ready for
use until next spring.
II will be noted that Agent Kilmer's
notice is directed only to the parties
who transact their lease business through
the local Office. Some firms deal direc,
with St. Paul and will, no doubt, gel
their notices from the same source.

lie SCHOOL,
The enrolment for the fall term num-
bers over $50 pupils, with applications
from many others.
The main study and recitation rooms
are still in St. Joseph's church and, at
the present time, only one study room is
used in the new building, which fur
nishes living quarters for the sisters and
boarding pupils. Last year over $50
pupils attended the parochial school.
The school is under the general super
vision of Fir. Rabsteinek, in charge of
the Sisters Of St. Benedict (six in num-
ber) and under the personal direction Of
Sister Marcelline, whose untiring efforts
are rewarded by the progress made by
the school and pupils.

The school, which is conducted in con-
nection with St. Joseph's church. of
which Rev. Thomas Rabsteinek is pastor,
was founded about two years ago and
was dedicated on August sd Of this year.
The design of this school is to cover
all of the practical studies taught in the
best graded schools of the state and a
wonderful work is being accomplished,
especially because of the fact that most
of the pupils enrolled do not understand
the English language and. therefore,
their progress in the regular schools
would be very slow. After few terms
in St. Joseph's parochial school the
average pupil has quite thoroughly

WORK OF OFFICIALS
To Prepare Papers for
Applicants

Bismarck Tribune: The commits.
sioner of the general land Office has
issued an order which requires the reg
listers and receivers OF all United States
land Offices to prepare all applications TO
make entries and filings on public lands
when they are requested to do so by the
applicants. This order is issued with .
view to securing greater accuracy in
papers of this kind and TO effect a saw
ing to applicants who have heretofore
been required to have their applications
prepared at their own expense.
1t is doubtful, however, if many will
take advantage of this ruling. The usual
fees charged by attorneys for making
and filing papers is s.. These papers in
many instances are prepared outside Of
land Office hours, ready to present on the
opening of the land office. Comparison
is then speedily made by the land Off
cials with the records, the fees collected
and the claimant is permitted to catch
outgoing trains.
Under the new ruling, prospective
settlers will be obliged to await the
pleasure of the land office, which will
accommodate this branch of work to the
other duties of the office. If the busi-
ness of the Office is contested, the waits
may be protracted and the expense to
the claimants in loss of time and incon-
venience may be greater than under the
old system that prohibited land officers
from making out filing papers.
Under the circumstances it is doubtful
if this order will prove of any benefit to
applicants and very few will take ad-
vantage of it.

Will Be Placed in Library By Ladies Of
G. A. R.

Several applications for membership
were received at meeting Of the
ladies of the Grand Army held last
evening. 1t was decided to place one
of the Lincoln memorial tablets in the
library building. This tablet has the
complete text of President Lincoln's
Gettysburg address. The top Of the tab
let has the full-sized corps badges Of
the seven Union army corps that were
engaged in the battle. Between these
badges is representation of the grass
es and wild flowers common to the
fields around Gettysburg.
The heads of the four bolts by which
the tablet il fastened to the wall rep
resent G. A. X. buttons, greatly en-
larged.
One of the missions of the Ladies Of
the G. A. r.. is to instill in the minds
and hearts of the rising generation love
of country and home. The writer Of
this was asked TO visit the public schools
and report the Pre- memorial exercises.
After listening to the exercises and
seeing the streets filled with the bright,
eager faces Of the boys and girls, all
carrying flags, the thought came Honor

People Care More For Almighty Dollar

mothers search after social success and

long time ago did not believe
there was such disease as skepto-
mania. But there is. My experience
as a magistrate has shown me the three
types Of persons who steal from stores,
The explanation Of all is-parents are
leading too strenuous lives. They care
more for the dollar than for the Sc
eurity of their children; and thus, in
the mad and greedy pursuit, they ne.
glect to give their offspring the care and
attention that are essential to virtue
and morality.
Mothers are as much to blame as
fathers. They worship fashions and
finery too much. leaving their daughters
to do as they wish without restraining
hands or maternal advice"
