hundred persons had gathered to pay
their last tribute of respect to IA departed
friend.
1t was sad, indeed to behold the tears
flowing down tho careworn faces OF the
seven war veterans present as they for
the last time looked upon their dead
comrade and realized that in few more
short years the rank and file OF the grand
old army of which they were Justly
proud will have been gathered to their
fathers. "Uncle Polk" as he was gen.
orally known, leaves widow and many
relatives and friends to mourn their loss,
to whom we extend our heartfelt SYM

for his widow aud relatives we wish to
extend our sincere thanks to the neigh

efficient assistance in the hour of need.

a joint agency would be establish

This peaceable settlement of
this question by the council is
much better than it would have

for judges in such contests is to take

percentages as their basis of reach

that there had been mistake made,
and It was rectified by giving Charles

The hearing of Clarence s. Cooper.
charged with forgery, will be taken
up before Judge Miller at Fargo this
week. The North Dakota Bankers

now of California. Cooper claims that
it is case of mistaken identity, and
that he is not the man wanted:
According to the officials, four years
ago Cooper stopped at Wheatland, this
county, and formed the acquaintance
of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Malette.
While there he succeeded in getting
the local bank to cash check through
his acquaintance with Malette. The
check was pronounced a forgery.
Last fall the Malette family moved
to San Diego, CAL, and recently Mrs.
Malette saw Cooper on the street and
caused his arrest. The prisoner claims
that ne has not been in North Dakota
for fifteen years. Mrs. Malette, at

no mistake.

GIFT TO STATE SOCIETY.
Joe TayIor's Books for Historical So

Joe TayIor's Books for Historical So.
I. ciety. a. .
Curator Fish of Bismarck went to
Washburn, and with Theo. Taylor of
Garrison looked over the effects of the
late Joe Taylor. Theo. Taylor was
anxious that the old books and pa.
pers of his uncle should not be scat
tered, and so wished the things to
be kept intact in the state historical
library. Curator Fish brought home
nearly hundred books, many of them
quite valuable historically. Mr.. Tay-
lor also gave the society number Of
clippings and letters which the old
hunters and scouts had sent to his
uncle.
Last summer Joe Taylor met Secre.
tary Libby and showed him a diary
Of soldier boy who was at Fort Ber-
thold in the '7Os. This diary he was
anxious to have placed in the vaults
of the society. 1t is part of the COL
lection, and when it is published it
will prove of interest to all the old
settlers.
The Tribune commends most heart
lily the action of Theo. Taylor, for SO
often a collection is lost just at this
time. The historical society appre-
ciates the gift and considers it one Of
great value.

In this instance he disposed of it SO

Anton B. Bullhead, graduate of the
Hampton institute of Virginia, spent
Saturday in Bismarck. He came on
business connected with the allotment
of the Indian lands of the Standing
Rock reservation, and when these
lands are selected, he says, the reser-
walton will in all probability be thrown
open to the public for settlement in
about fifteen months. He has but
lately returned from Washington, D.
c., where, with four other prominent
Indians, he interviewed the secretary
of the interior regarding the proposed
opening.
Mr.. Bullhead resides in the vicinity
of the old Sitting Bull Indians. He
says that the red men generally, and
especially in his locality, are turning
their attention to stock raising, it be-
ing not at all uncommon for the In
dams to own at least 200 head of
horses.

PLAN or SCHOOL PRINCIPALS.
TO Divide the state Into Several Dis.
trjcts,

4 . sgt u t . s.
The annual conference Of a state
high school principals came to close
after another very interesting session.
during which a number OF topics
were considered.
Some time was devoted to dis.
cussion of plans for distributing the
state for defamation contest pur.
poses. The matter has been threshed
over several times before without re.
suit, and yesterday Superintendent:
Youngdahl of New Rockford present.
ed an outline for plan providing for
seven districts and giving as near as
possible an equal number OF cities or
towns with high schools in each. The
opposition to the plan was led by Su.
perintendent Macdonald OF Lidger.
wood. The matter was finally referred
to a committee of five to report at the
next annual conference. The CON-
mittee named consisted of Superin-
tendents Youngdahl, Macdonald, Gray
of Grafton, Godward of Devils Lake
and Berk of Dickinson.
1t was decided that the state high
school examiners should prepare ques.
tions on physiology and physics.
There was very lively discussion
over the matter of requiring sixteen
courses for graduation for next year
The objection was made that such a
change without notice would involve
a hardship on the senior classes for
next year, and the proposition was
finally voted down with the provision
that sixteen courses shall be required
for the following year, 1910.
The conference decided to recon,
mend that the state high school board
provide in the high school manual
suggested courses for the high schools
of the second and third class courses
in which culture studies largely oc
cupy the pupils time and also other
courses in which Industrial and com
mercial subjects occupy half of the
pupils time. This recommendation
was made owing to the fact that many
principals are coming from other
states where less attention is devoted
to the latter class of subjects and the
courses given by them would likely
place their schools at disadvantage
with other high schools.
The proposition to make English
Nv. course in public speaking a con
slant in fifth class high schools was
defeated.
The matter of holding the state ex
aminations one week later than now
scheduled was defeated.
1t was decided that eighth grade
questions in physiology and physics
should be offered by the high school
board.
After the discussion of some rou-
tine matters the conference adjourned

IN The SCANDINAVIAN NORTH
GIeanings of Important Ne.Us of Norway, Sweden
and Denmark, vitk Occasional Comments.
By oDIAND
SWEDEN.

1t is stated that the government has
under consideration the establishment
OF food department.
Consul ]. c. F. Ljunggren reports
that there are 10000 artisans and S..
900 laborers in Sweden.
Failures of banks and business firms
in various parts of Sweden are still
being reported every week, and the
end is not yet.
The directors of the Swedish tail
ors' union have decided to declare a
general lockout unless the employers
accede to the demands of the en-
ployes for higher wages.
During the first three months OF
1908 only LAB Swedes emigrated.
while during the same period last year
the number CT emigrants was 2,976.
This is due to the efforts of the anti
emigration society to prevent emigra-
ton and to the lack of employment in
the United States that has prevailed
since last fall
A political observer at the Swedish
capital says that the riksdag will sit
unusually long this year. because of
large number OF important subjects
on its legislative program. The men,
bers draw no salary after May Is, but
that fact will be overlooked, as it
would be suicidal for the legislators
to face their constituents at the cleo
tons this coming fall, without a
record of achievement to their credit.
1t is predicted that election will re-
suit in a slight gain for the liberals,
larger gain for the social democrats
and loss for the conservatives, but,
Of course, the prophets may make
other predictions later on.
From Stockholm comes a report
that the recent visit of King Edward
to the Swedish capital was for polit-
ical purpose, namely, to bring about
more friendly relations between
Sweden and Norway. A correspond
ent at Stockholm says in regard to
this rumor:
THAT the visit is not without it's
political significance may be inferred
from the fact that among the large
suite which accompanies King Ed
ward is found Sir Charles Hardinge,
the permanent under secretary Of
state for foreign affairs. 1t is we'll
known that Sir Charles is one of the
most important factors in the English
foreign policy. One may perhaps not
be altogether wrong if one supposes
that the English court desires to pave
the way for rapproachment between
the Swedish court and the Norwegian.
That King Edward should desire this
is quite natural as his daughter is
Queen of Norway and his niece will
one day be queen of Sweden. Whether
the time for such a rapproachment
has yet come is something upon which
will not venture to give opinion The
effect of 1905 has certainly not yet
disappeared"
