It is hoped that this column will
prove connecting link between the
school and home. The personals and
observations are written by the pu-
pills, under the direction of the teach
ers, of course. This practice is
proving very helpful to the pupils,
as it teaches them not only neatness
in writing and clearness in express
sion, but also teaches them 10 live
with their eyes open by observing
closely what is happening around
theny
While we desire to thank MIR.
Knight for giving us the opportunity
of establishing this column, yet we
feel that the benefit to be derived
therefrom will he mutual, as the
school column of any community
should contain much that will be Of
interest to every person in the COM
munity.

Our advertising patronage is
dwindling down, and we will have to
60 back to the ready print inside un-
less our merchants do more adver-
tising. We are willing to give a good
paper as long as there is a small mar
gin of profit, but we cannot print all
the paper at home and lose money
thereby.

The cause of the present financial
stringency is that the bankers Of the
South have placed the money lof de-
positors in New York banks, and
now they can't get it back. In short,
New York gamblers are holding the
money of the South in order to make
farmers sell their cotton.

fallen and who had been incessant in
his labors on behalf of the society,
was also made to smile because of
the presentation. of a check for 800.
He responded to the gift in a neat
speech on "Past Performances and
Future Promises" In his speech he
outlined the work of the association
in its infancy and showed how the
business men had come loyalty and
enthusiastically to the support of the
movement and had made the guaran-
tee 1900 instead of $500 as the pro-
motors had at first asked. The future
of the society was just as certain of
success as the past had been sue
cessful.
The treasurer's report was made the
theme for a financial statement by
that official when he responded to the
toast "a View From the Treasurer"
The statement condensed is as fol-
lows: The sales of tickets had
amounted to $2,767.75; receipts from
program, SIS; total of $2,S57.75.
After all expenses were paid, includ-
ing the remembrances just handed out
by the POSTMASTER, there remained
in the treasury little over $3.50.

season of complicated figuring and

ing requirements. that would drive an
expert to drink, according to the
statements of those who will tender
bids at the council meeting tonight.
The bids for the several classes of
roadway will be opened this evening
but the contract or contracts will not
be awarded until period of five days
has elapsed, this in compliance with
provisions OF the new paving law. All
the bids are expected to prove some
what higher than the original esti-
mates. The reason for this is that
the council has made it's requirements
SO as to doubly safeguard the city and
guarantee the Staying qualities" of
it's new paving.
my bid will be considerable higher
than I had anticipated before spend
ing several days porting over the
volumnous prescriptions given out by
the city solons," stated one of the
paving representatives this morning.
Il tell you they are going to make
certain this time and the citizens may
rest assured of the best there is in
the market. especially after the thor
ough investigation of almost every
conceivable class of material in the
market"

state laws If any one paving company
can secure the signatures of a major
ity of the property owners Of the dis
trict to be paved and such petition
be presented to the common council
during the intervening five days be-
tween the opening of the bids and the
letting of the contract, the council
needs must give the contract to this
concern or reject all the bids.
There has been considerable specu-
lation among those who knew of the
existance of this provision as to
whether any Of the companies would
attempt coup, but it is considered
highly improbable as, with eight sep
arate paving concerns in the field,
there would be too much of a split
to secure the requisite number of sig
natures.
In the case of the paving for which
bids will be opened tonight, however,
there would seem to be fair chance
Of success for the company which
could get the sanction of the railroad

N0RTHWO0D CASE DECIDED
Judge Templeton Rules in Case of
Botten Bros. Against Paul
Bilden.

The case Of Botten Bros. against
Bilden was taken up in district court
this morning and after the arguments
of the attorneys on both sides had been
concluded Judge Templeton made pub
lis his findings. Neither side can
claim victory in the decision as the
judge bore down the breastworks OF
plaintiff and defendant alike.
Botten Bros. claimed a salary for
the seven years they were in partner
ship with Bilden. This claim. Judge
Templeton disallowed. On the other
hand Bilden contended that the stock
at the time the transfer was made to
him was worth about $4,000 while the
testimony showed an inventory of
$4,000 outlay.
The case presented rather unusual
features owing to the fact that both
sides claimed moneys due, there being
a difference of about $1,000 in the
two extremes.

FRED bennett HAS
TROUBLE At
CAPITOL
On Account of Youthful Ap-
pearance, Former Cavalier
Man is Kept Busy.

OF Fred bennett, former Cavalier
man, the Washington Herald under a
head of men and Things" says:
For only few weeks has Hon.
Fred bennett been assistant commits
sioner of the general land Office, and
the lynx-eyed guardians of the govern
ment's papers and property at the
department of the interior have SUBJ
jected him to a good deal of annoy
ance because of his extremely youth
full appearance. Though an English
man by birth, and a statesman of
sagacity and prowess in North Da-
kota. Mr.. bennett looks like a coll
lege sophomore. If he happens to
leave his Office after the hour pres
cribed for the closing of the depart
ment buildings to visitors, and then
has occasion to return to it, he is
compelled to run the gantlet of watch
men and messengers with the usual
questions as to his identity, his pur-
pose, etc. A few days after his ap-
pointment he was leaving the build
ing with his commission tucked I'M
der his arm. Its red tape, seal inn
pressions, etc., proclaimed to vigil
ant messenger that it was a public
document of importance. whereupon
that functionary pounced upon Mr..
bennett with the accusation that he
was feloniously abstracting from the
land Office paper of official value,
which he should forthwith hand over
to his accuser. Somewhat indignant
ly, if not haughtily. Mr.. bennett re-
scented the rude PERSONS charge, but
not until he showed his annoyer that
the document was the official warrant
of his authority was he permitted to
emerge from the building with it. Mr..
bennett is being advised to cultivate
a beard, in order to add to the impress
siveness of his appearance.

DISCOVERED

New Haven. Conn.,. Sept. S0.-The Amer

city. will print tomorrow details OF the
discovery OF Prof. b. b. Boltwood of Yale
university OF a new parent OF radium In
the article written by himself, Prof. Bolt
wood gives technical details OF the expert
ments which led 10 the discovery OF the
new radioactive element and the proofs
OF It's character, and concludes as fol-
lows:
Strong evidence has therefore been OBJ
tanned OF the existence In the uranium
minerals OF a new radioactive element
which emits both alpha and beta radia-
tions, which produces no emanation and
which resembles thaprium In It's chemi-
cal properties. IL is without doubt a dis
integration product OF uranium and is In
all probability the immediate parent OF
radium The name "Ionium" is proposed
for this new substance, a name derived
from the word "Ion."
Prof Boltwood has been experimenting
for 10 months In his search for the new
element.
