Within a short time a petition
will be circulated in this city ask

the pehitentiary at Bismarck.
Martin, the son, was sent up for
tixe years while the old man

Olson, a Minot real estate deal

pendent readers are all familiar.
Martins younger brother, who

He found Martin wheeling clay

patching up the walls with NOR

with grief at the time he was
taken to the pen, and it is doubt
full if he ever lives five years if be

A petition has been circulated
in the vicinity of Bowbells for
their release and many have
signed it. Recently the mort
gage Of $1,000 was due on the
farms. and the kind neighbors
made up the money and paid it
off.
Storby, who married Matti.

at the first trial but was re
leased at the second, is now liv-

was loft a fortune OF eight or ten
thousand dollars some time ago,
and instead of assisting the
Ma+tisons he left them to the
mercy of their creditors, and
they would have lost all had it
not been for their friends. Stor.

guilty IF the crime as Martin and

The college basket ball team defeated
the Tracy team at the college gym
nasium Friday evening by a score of
30 to 9. The home team outciassed
the visitors at all points OF the game,
and were easy winners. The Tracy
team appeared to be out OF condition
and during the last half especially the
fast pace set by the college boys swept
them off their feet, and they we're AZ out
exhausted when the game ended. The
Tracy team came here from WATERFOWL,
where they were defeated on Friday
evening by a score OF 80 to 20. The
WATERFOWL team will play the second
game OF the series with Brookings ut
the college gymnasium tomorrow eve-
nlng.
This Office has been very busy the
past week finishing up n new tele-
phone directory for the city and rural
exchanges. Some new changes will
go into effect when these directorys
are given out, which will be within a
day or two. Hereafter the number of
rings will be designated by letter in
stead Of color. All phones on single
lines will be designated as "Main,"
which, like "a" on the other lines,
means onering. "B" means two ring,
ar" three rings, "K" four rings, and
''F" five rings. Telephone service
will be furnished on Sundays from 8
to II in the morning and 2 to z in the
afternoon. This new Sunday service
will be very much appreciated by the
telephone patrons.
The two weeks corr and poultry
schools at the college closed yesterday
at oon Prof. A. A.. Brigham of
Maryland, who has charge OF the
poultry school, left last evening for
Lincoln, Nebraska, where he will have
charge OF a two weeks poultry course.
Prof. M. l.. Wilson, the corn expert,
left Tuesday evening for his home at
Ames, Iowa. To a representative of
the REGISTER Prof. Wilson stated that
he considered the short curse in corn
culture at the college an unqualified
success, especially considering the
fact that it was the first n tried. He
said that the interest and enthusiasm
OF the students was very encouraging,
and predicted that the attendance next
year would be doubled. Prof. Wilson
cOmplimented Prof. j. S. Cole, the
agronomist at the college, very highly
for his work with corn and small grains,
and said that he was fast gaining re-
cognition as one OF the best posted
men in his line in the Northwest.

COMMON MISNOMERS.
German "Silver" From China.
Term Of "Turkish Bath"

Term Of "Turkish Bath"
From London P. T. o.
Apropos of the assertion that Panama
hats do not come from Panama, 1t is in
teresting to see how often things are
called by names to which they have no
relation. For example. kid gloves are not
made of kid but of lambskin or sheep
skin. When we refer to the dish known
as Irish stew, most Of US lose sight of the
fact that 1t is unknown in Ireland, while
German silver Is not silver at all, nor of
German origin-it has been used in China
for many centuries. The term Turkish
bath" Is ludfcrous; this bath Is unknown
to the Turks and SO are most other kinds
of baths, for in Turkey cleanliness does
not rank next to goodness. Milton, again,
says in Paradise Lost:
Thick as autumnsi leaves that strew the brooks
in Valombrosa."
There are no leaves in Vallambrosa; most
of the trees are pines.
The list of .misapplied terms might be
prolonged almost. Indefinitely. Catgut, for
instance. is sheepgut:, and why should
blind worms be SO called when they can
see quite well? Take a glance at a map
of northeastern America, and you will see
that Baffin bay is anything but bay One
might just as well suppose that rice paper
was made from the, rice plant as that
Dutch clocks are manufactured in Hol-
land. AS a matter of fact, rice paper is
made in China from a tree peculiar to the
Island Of Formosa, and Dutch clocks come
from Germany. The shew mouse Just es-
capes from being a mouse by the merest
chance, but there is not the slightest jus-
LITIGATION for the word "titmouse" as ap-
piled to bird, Custom and usage have
reconciled us to the use of the word
slave in the sense OF one who Is sub
servient, but II Is a striking example of
the misapplication Of words The Slavi
were tribe which once dwelt on the
banks of the Dneiper, and derived their
name from "Slav.''' which means noble and
illustrious In the later days of the Ro-
man empire vast numbers of them spread
over Europe In the condition of captive
servants, and thus the name of the tribe
came to mean the very antithesis of its
original sense.

Japanese Detective Methods.

Recently in the village of Tahara-mura
japan. all the male inhabitants above the
age of fifteen years were assembled in
front of the local Shinto shrine at the call
of the village chief. A thief had been
making depredatons i'll the local tobacco
plantations and the chief sought to dis
cover him. Outlines Of the feet of all the
villagers were taken on sheets of paper
and then these were compared with the
tracks left by the tlhef in thet tobacco
fields. Nothing resulted from this expert
ment. The next day the inhabitants Were
called together again. A great hole was
dug in the ground and a raging charcoal
fire was built in it. All persons present
were ordered to walk through the fire
barefooted, 1t being declared that no per-
son would be burned except the guilty
one. All advanced to undergo the ordeal
except one. Shukichi Shibata, man of
evil reputation. He declined to trust his
feet to tine red hot Goals. Accordingly he
was arrested and soon confessed his
guilt.

Literary Women In Japan.

Japanese women have been literary
from an age unknown In the Manyoshu,

Eyes and Ears.

From Puck.
AS civilization advances and human re-
lations grow In complexity. the man who
has eyes yet sees not. and ears vet hears
not finds more and more his place. The
time will come. perhaps, when ewes will
be chiefly useful to wear stylish siassea
on, and ears to hang the chain over.
