inaugurated movement for better treatment for sa1esmen and salesladies in the various stores of the city. The laws of Florida compel all stores to have seats provided for their employees to be used when they are not engaged. This had never been enforced in this city until today when the president of the society made an inspection of a number of the large stores, and notified all proprietors that the seats must be provided at once. The proprietors all agreed to comply with the law within twenty-four hours, if possible. Several of the large stores had seats already provided for the clerks.

pendent thought it was a shame to give
Boucher the bounce, but a mutation of
events has caused him to change his
mind. Here is what he says:
"We stated recently that we feared
that a mistake had been made when
Boucher, the warden of the state peni-
Tertiary was let out. We since learn
that his Office is to be investigated care
fully for Irregularities and perhaps the
men who let him out knew their bust
ness. 1t is charged that there have been
Irregularities in the financial management
of the pen; that Alex Mckenzie always
bought the raw material for the Irvine
plant, and that Boucher did not make =
detailed account of the transactions.
Also that he has refused to report the
amount he was paying Alex McKenzie's
water company for the use of water in
the pen, simply including that under the
general head of maintenance. Boucher
was a poor man heavily in debt, it is
said, when he went into the pen a few
years ago, and now he is counted one o.
the wealthy men of Bismarck. Tn
people of the state will await anxiousl.
the result of the investigation hoping o.
course that Boucher can prove his in

FAMOUS MINISTRIES COMING.
The Famous Richards & Pring!e's Minstrels t,
Appear Here Next Week.

By adhering to the good old style of
minstrelsy Richards & Pringle's Minst-
rels, who will appear in this city shortly
have established for themselves a repu-
tation that any theatrical manager
might we'll envy. For % years the visits
of Richards & Pringle's Famous Georgia
Ministries have been looked upon as a
gala event, always clean, wholesome and
good, their name has caused the largest
theaters to be filled to OVERLOOKING.
This season these gentlemen have fairly
eclipsed themselves in organizing a com
pany of genuine colored artists, called
from the ranks of all the best minstrel
people on earth. Clarence Powell heads
the list, and its proper that he should.
This extremely funny colored comedian
has made more people laugh, and per-
haps receives the largest salary of any
comedian, white or black, in the world
today. The programme promised will
be on the old-time minstrel order, the
same as made minstrelsy so famous in
years past. Sweet, southern melodies,
beautiful music, dances and witticisms
make up a programme that is bound to
please and interest. The company
travel in their own special Pullman car,
and number over 40 people. The o
day parade and evening band concert
will be given as usual. They appear
at the Opera House Friday June 28th.

STATE FARM LOANS.

We do not believe there are many
farmers in North Dakota who will take
the trouble to apply to the state land
department for farm loans under the
present regulations. There is too much
tape and a great deal of it IS unneces-
sary.
Loans may be made on cultivated land
to actual residents in amounts not ex-
ceeding one-third the appraised value of
the land, no more than $4,000 to be loan
ed to any one person. Interest four per
cent, and loans may run not less than
three nor more than twelve years. Bor-
rover pays all costs of appraisement
abstract, recording, etc. Land must be
appraised by county board Of appraiser,
Borrower must send for application
blank, fill it out carefully, answering all
questions, and hand it, together with
blanks for appraisers, to county auditor,
also a certified abstract of the land.
When the land department receives the
application, a report of appraisers and
abstract, these papers will in turn be
submitted to the board of university and
school lands and will be passed upon at
the next meeting of that board. Now,
it the application is finally accepted, the
lland department prepares a mortgage
and note for applicant to execute and
put on record and he must also have the
abstract of title continued to date show
ing the mortgage of record and appear
ing as a first lien on the land. Then
return to the land department the
recorded mortgage, note and abstract,
also a receipt from the auditor showing
that the cost of appraising the land has
been paid, also insurance policy, if any,
on the buildings. On the receipt of
these, if everything is found regular on
examination by the attorney general, the
loan will be made. There are a number
Of minor points. but we have covered
