Improve Our Courts.

It becomes moneyless people to live
upright lives. If they get. wrong at
any time they have poor chance in
court. It is sad spectacle to see a
poor man or woman hauled before
the Judge and tried with very little
show of Defense But when man or
woman of influence and money is
hauled before the court on a charge
of felony, mistrials, postponements
and jurors adroitly chosen and in
structed, will finally get an acquittal
or much lighter sentence than they
deserve. On the merest technicality
new trial can be secured and one
fixed juror is enough to make mis-
trial. In this county jurors are grad
ually moving up to a higher plane.
The most of them drawn are above
being bought. They can be depended
on to acquit themselves like fair,
honest men who have a regard for
justice.-Carollna Spartan.

also in the matter of their sale. Those

Perhaps an explanation of the stand
ing OF our high school would not come
amiss as many do not understand the
nature of the high school course as
presented in North Dakota: all first
class schools are placed on an accred-
tied list by the best colleges and uni
versities, providing The required
amount of work is done for admission
into the freshman class of said .insti-
tuition. Hope State High. School will
and does prepare each and every stu
dent for a college course provided the
boy or girl elects their cours which
will prepare for entrance into a repu-
table institution. In this institution
two courses are offered, namely: the
classical and scientific. In the class
ical u are found tine following
subjects: Eng. l., H., Ill, w; Latin
Gram, Caesar, Cicero, Virgil, Algebra
Plane Geom., Solid Geom, and Higher
Algebra, Physiograpy, Botany, Ply
sizes, Chemistry, Economics, Gen. HIS.
and Eng. History. This amount. of
work will admit any student into any
good institution. The scientific course
differs from the classical. in that two
years of German are required instead
OF four years of latin. OF course those
who go to college. should take the Lat
in course and those who don't. and
therefore cannot enter a good. school
should shoulder the responsibility and
not blame the institution. Thus far
nine young people have graduated
from this high school since it's organi-
zation and all but one have taken the
Latin and are thoroughly prepared
for entrance into any good school.
John D. Baldwin entered the freshman
class at the University of North Dak-
ota and had credits to the good. Earl
Hughes and Ray Nelson will enter the
dental department of the University of
MINI. with the full requirements COM
plete, and Emma Slingsby, who enters
the University of N. b., next year can
enter the freshman class without CON
ditions: Every good institution re-
quires latin and every boy or girl who
contemplates a college course should
take it in the high school or else@re-
main a ''prep" until their latin is
made up. The classes in latin in this
Institution have been started right and
with proper are and instruction a.
strong department can be maintained.

Child Burned to Death.

Minot-One child was burned to
death and two others were rescued
with difficulty from a fire which de-
stroyed the house on the farm Of Paul
Heringer, a farmer living twelve miles
south Of Dogden. The parents Of the
children were at the barn attending
to their work when flames were seen
issuing from the root Of their dwelling.
The father hurried to the house and,
rushing through the flames, succeeded
in taking out two of the children in
safety. The other little one was ter
ror stricken and had hidden under a
bed from whence he refused to come
out. Before the father could reach him
the flames had made, such Roadway
that nothing could be lone and the
parents were compelled to watch the
little one slowly burn to death.
The father was compelled to hold
he mother, who made hysterical eff
forts to rush into the burning dwell
ing and rescue her child or perish with
1t.
No n seems to know how the fire
started, but it is believed that the chill
dren had been playing with matches.

for a period Of one year. This action
was taken when Rudolph Wurdelman
of Churchs Ferry, was brought up in
court on a charge Of violating the
prohibition law. He was arrested sew
eral days ago, and his offense consisted
Of soliciting case orders for beer and
delivering them direct from the depot
to the thirsty. Judge Cowan imposed a
fine of $3.50 and ninety days in Jail
He ordered the depot at Churchs Fer
ry be closed for a ear. and the fine
and costs to be assessed as a lien
against the property. The case is
rather an unusual one and the rail-
road company will probably make a

the snow which had formed a deep
crust over the mouth. Recent warm
weather is believed to have weakened
this snow bridge and thus caused the
