June is, Date for Far
mers' Institute at Dick
inSon.

The date for the North Dakota Farm
ers' Institute to be held in Dickinson has
been fixed for Tuesday, June Is. Guy
III. Dickinson received a letter the past
week from Supt. T. A. Hoverstad to the
effect that arrangements for an earlier
date could not be satisfactorily made be-
cause some of the speakers wanted for
this meeting would not be at liberty un
til after the close of the college year.
Mr.. Hoverstad considers June Is a very
good date. The farmers will have their
most urgent work off their hands by that
time and a larger number should be able
to attend the institute than would be the
case had an earlier date been selected.
An institute can teach a farmer some
very, simple things about farming that
would cost him many days of hard work
and considerable money to find out by
experimenting. and every farmer who
takes the trouble to attend such a meet
ing will find it time and money well
spent. Don't forget the date and try
and interest your neighbor, because, in
farming, whatever helps your neighbor
is bound to helpyou.

Notes
(By Bernard Aneell.)

(by Bernard Angell.)
The botany class is busy with analysis
and I'M will probably do no more text book
work this year.
The drawing classes have been max
ing a study of plants and birds. The
birds for this purpose were loaned by
Mi. Dodd.
The chemical labratory furnished Mr..
Waldron of the experiment station a sup.
ply of distilled water to be used, in an
evaporation guage.
The seniors invitations have arrived
and they have heen busy the last few
days in folding and addressing them.
The senior class is now preparing for
the graduation exercises, and everyone
is making ready for the approaching ex-
aminations. These, it is expected, will
begin on Friday, May q, with an exam
ination in Latin l.
Last Friday a second call for volun-
|teers was made to complete the work
In connection with the planting of the
trees and to clean the school yard. 1t
was responded to, but MOI with the same
heartiness as that of the previous week.
All the trees have now been set out and
the fence about the yard is being put up
again.
The sixth grade Miss Hackers pupils,
have been studying phosphates and have
been supplied with phosphate rock for
the purpose from the museum. In an
illustration of the effect of phosphates
they were shown two plants, which had
been planted at the same time, n with
phosphates, the other without. The first
was only two or three inches in height, the
other two feet.
The class in English II has been study
ing versiication and figures of speech.
The Merchant of Venice" and some of
the other books included in the course
have been reviewed, and the biograph-
les of their authors are now being taken
up. Most of the members of the class
have read Stevenson's Treasure Is
land" the book which was to be read out
of school this year.

GIRL VICTIM OF MISTAKE
Dying Statement Bears Out This
Theory of the
Case.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept 15.-(Special)-
There have been no new developments in
the mysterious Addie Bailey murder case.
The young woman died yesterday after
noon, and the body was today sent to the
old home at New Lexington, o.
After carefully summing up the circum-
stances Of the shooting. and taking into
consideration the last and dying statement
of Miss Bailey, the authorities have about
concluded that the girl was the victim of
a mistake, and that her murderer was after
some other person. Miss Bailey realized
she was going to die, and in very solemn
manner told the sheriff and county attorney
that she spoke the whole truth when she
said she did not know the man that shot
her. that there had been no quarrel that
she had no lover had not been out with u
man since coming to Cheyenne, and that
during her stay in Denver she had had no
steady company. In the opinion of the
dying girl she was mistaken for someone
else. The post-mortem investigation only
served to strengthen the story told by the
unfortunate young woman. and the report
that she was married and was probably
shot by her husband after a quarrel is not
now entertained. In all probability the
murder will be recorded as another OF those
mysterious tragedies that may never be
| explained.

twenty-six plantations still to report A
complete poll of the vote is not expected

The feature of the election was the in
crease in the democratic vote throughout
the state. Every one of the four congress
sional districts showed gains the increase
over 1904 being 1900 votes and 1000 over
1906. These gains were made almost en-
tirely in the rural districts. showing clearly
theN popularity of Mr.. Gardner among the
| farmers of the state.
The republican vote also was greater by
5000 than in 1906 but it fell 1905 below the
vote in 1904 The republicans also made
good gains IN the rural districts and in ad-
dition regained six cities in the state. which
left the municipalities evenly divided be-
! tween the two parties.
The incoming legislature will be strongly
republican in both branches.

little was said of national issues
The republicans strongly defended the So

Nearly 10000 voters went to the polls, a

an invitation TO speak should be withheld
