Former Attorney General of
North Dakota Locates in
Missouri.
EXTENSIVE HOLDINGS
There Made Removal Neces-
sary-Well Known Over
the Entire State.

1t was announced today that w. H.
Standish, ex-attorney general of North
Dakota would make his future home
in Missouri. The announcement comes
as surprise, although it has been
known for some time that he has ex-
tensive holdings in that state. He
has spent the larger portion of the
last year in Missouri.
Throughout North Dakota W. H.
Standish is we'll known. He came to
the state in 1888, locating at Bart
lett, where he resided for three years,
going from there to Lakota. In 1892
he was nominated as candidate for
attorney general on the fusion ticket,
and was elected with a majority of
1856. He held office for two years,
and since then has practiced law in
this city.
He is a veteran of the civil war,
and was always prominent in G. A.
r. circles in Granu Forks. His tall
figure is familiar to all Grand Fork
ers, and his decision to depart from
the city will he generally regretted.
Mrs. w. H. standish, who has been
occupying flats in the New Hamp-
shire block will remain here for about
two months, making her home at the
Hotel Hall. Mr.. standish has been in
Missouri for some time past, but is
expected here shortly to make final
arrangements for moving from the
city.

UNLIKELY TO AGREE
Seems Probable Bill Amending
immigration Law Will Fail
of Passage.
Associated Press to The Evening Time

Associated Press Ia The Evening Times.
Washington, Feb. S.-There is yet
no prospect of an agreement on the
pending bill to amend the immigration
laws and the indications are that the
bill will fail with the close of the
fifty-ninth congress on March 4. The
principal points of difference between
the house and senate are the educa-
tional test provided by the senate
amendment and The house amendment
by Representative Littaner OF New
York, waving requirements as to the
amount of money an immigrant must
have, if the immigrant is fleeing from
religious persecution.
The senate opposes the latter
amendment strenuously on the ground
that it would open the doors wide for
the unhindered admission OF certain
classes of immigrants. The education
al test is opposed by the house con-
ferees.
