The class of 1908 has earned fifteen
credits. Last years class graduated with

admits to the University of Wisconsin
while sixteen is required for the Uni
versity of Minnesota.
COMMENCEMENT
Commencement is always a popular
occasion in the city and the great diff
Guilty has always been lack of room to
seat all who wished to attend, This
year the exercises were held in the
armory and this difficulty was obviated
The juniors had been busy and made
the rostrum very attractive. The class
colors, cardinal red and white, draped
the front and stands of potted plants
stood on either side. The motto, "On.
ward Still and Upward" done in red
letters on white, was placed over the
window at the back of the stage. Rugs
and easy chairs completed the stage
setting.
The juniors, easily distinguished by
their maroon and gold class badges
acted as ushers, the following being the
class roster: Edith Kihm, president
Paul White, secretary; Nellie Dinsdale
Beatrice Lish and Irene Walton, Alber
Arnett, Frank Davis, Archie Palmer
Russell Berg, William Jefferies, Walter
Ray, Lester Bishop, Hartwell johnson
and Elliott Freeman.
Besides the class, Superintendent
Berg, Misses Turrell and Putney and Mr.
Holgate, the nigh school teachers, the
w. L. Stockwell were given seats on the
rosirum, the orchestra having places be
low and in front of the stage.

Dickinson has plenty of artists in the
musical line and does not need to call in
outside assistance upon an occasion of
this kind. The musical numbers were
quite an entertainment in themselves
and included selections by the Dickinson
orchestra and by the male quartet; vocal
solo by Miss Margaret Stewart; vocal
solo, with violin obligato, Mrs. ]. H. Wood;
vocal solo, "L'Argika," Mrs. Babcock;
violin solo, Mrs. Joseph Messersmith; yo-
cal solo "Die Fruhlingszeit," Miss Edith
Kihm. All are favorites and the pleas
ure they give their hearers increases with
each rendition. After the opening
musical selections, prayer was offered,
Rev. F. w. Gress of the Methodist
church being selected for this.
The graduates all delivered orations
which were credit alike to themselves
and their instructors and their graceful
appearance and clear enunciation was
source of much pardonable pride to
parents and friends.
| Miss Cummings graphically told
the story of the life and work Of
Booker T.. Washington, the negro,
born a slave, now the foremost edu-
Gator of the colored race and an hon
ored son of Harvard. Miss Cum
! mings rehearsed the various phases
Of the race problem, how with the alb.
clifton of slavery the negroes we're
irresponsible and idle, seeking posi-
tions for which they were not fitted
and stunning manual labor in any
form, bondsmen to filth, ignorance and
vice; how the north desired to give
the negro all the privileges accorded
to whites while the south could not
feel that he was an equal. Just here
came Booker T. Washington to teach
his people not only books, but also to
be useful, respected and self-respect'
ing citizens. He taught them thrift
economy, hygiene, etiquette and NOR
ais and to let the work of the hands
keep pace with the work of the brain
At first he was opposed by the ne
groes themselves, but gradually th5
work of the Tuskogee Industrial schoo
prospered, approved alike by botf
north and south, until, from small
beginning in poverty, it has become
great institution with thirty indus
trial departments, besides academic
and theological courses. Booker T
Washington has repeatedly refused
flattering offers to enter politics, pre-
ferring to give his life for his people
: and to teach them his own creed
that: "Any one who can do some
thing better than any one else, vii
succeed" g,.-r 5.Gs.,s.ts,.

Federal Money for Our
Militia Boys

North, Dakota militiamen are elated
over the passage by congress Of Senator
Dicks national guard association bill.
This bill carries an appropriation Of
81, o,ooo for the national guard Of the
United, States for equipment and uni.
forms tor the militia.
A telephone from Adjutant General
Poole this morning shows how good he
feels over the passage of the bill. He
states that the new measure means about
$4,000 additional for the North Dakota
boys in blue-or about s14 per enlisted
man.
With this additional appropriation the
North Dakota militia can be greatly i'm.
proved and in year or two it should be
brought up to high degree of eff
ciency.@
Captain Osborn and members Of Co
K are delighted with the success Oft the
measure.

Found Guilty

An important hearing took place in
Justice A. P. Folsom's court in the First
National bank building last Saturday
morning when the case of limerick
Martin vs.. Ludwig Kirschuran came up.
The complaining witness testified that
on the 18th of May he drove to the
home of Kirschuran, nearby neighbor,
and, as road supervisor, warned him out
for work; whereupon said defendant be-
came enraged and assaulted him with a
rake handle, the wife and son helping in
the maltreatment. As a result of the
trouble plaintiffs arm was terribly
bruised, the marks still being easily dis
cernable when exhibited to the jury.
Martin stated also that he was hit on the
head, but he warded off the heavier
blows with his arm. He was alone and
at the mercy of the brutal Kirschuran
and his family. The wounds were
dressed the same day by DR.. Bowen and
once afterwards. The doctor testified as
to the. seriousness of the injuries, and
this was the states case.
Kirschuran testified that Martin came
over to his place and commenced at
once to call him the vilest names imagin-
able, threatening to "fx him, poor
silly Russian" When questioned as to
what remcnstrance he made on being
called such names in the presence of his
wife, son and daughter, he replied moth
ing" but these words: eyes, you say you
will fix me, but you can't fix your horses
in my grain over yonder!" Defendant
swore positively that he did notsthreaten
or demonstrate with Martin In. any other
way, did not order him Of his land, was

not within some distance of him, and was
positive that none of his family said or
did anything. He said that Martin S
arm was bandaged when he. drove up,
that he used the other hand to drive
with, holding it aloft and waving angrily
while calling him unspeakable names.
He claimed not to know how the arm
was injured. The wife, Julia and young
Ludwig all testified to the same thing.
Each told the same parrot story. They
knew nothing about anything else. 1t
was noticed when the woman was on the
stand that she hesitated and looked at
her husband before answering. While
defendant was on the stand he could no,
look any one in the face.
1t was a case of a family of -four
against one, but the jury, and probably
about every one in the court room, be-
lieved that the Kirschurans were lying
A verdict of guilty was reached in q
few minutes, and Justice Folsom passed
a fine of SIS and cost, amounting ir
all to s2o3. In addition to this Kirsch
uran faced a civil action for damages anc
the best terms he could make with
Assistant States Attorney Baker was or
settlement of $50, or total of s253 anc
his personal expenses for his seeming
unwarranted meanness.
1t is reported that Kirschuran hac

south of Richardton, owns land and othel
property to the value of several thous

H. l.. Reichert and w. G. Ray have
purchased of Frank Kihm the opera
house property in block 4 just east of the
ST. Charles hotel, the consideration being
around $4,000.
The deal was closed Monday morning
and puts at an end to all talk of a new
site in Dickinson for some years to come,
as the new proprietors of the opera
house are owners of the St. Charles, and
will at once commence the arrangement
of plans for remodeling and about doubl-
ing their present hotel facilities. They
will also enlarge and greatly improve the
opera house, putting the stage in such
shape that Dickinson can always have
the best theatrical companies on the
road. A stage of standard size is one
thing specially needed,
The total Improvements, this year, will
probably reach fully $4,000, and even
tually the outlay is likely to reach $4,000.
Both Messrs. Ray and Reichert come
from hotel families, and it is their am
bition to give the city hostelry to
which its citizens may point with pride,
one that will surpass anything of the
kind in southwestern North Dakota
Dickinson is rapidly becoming large
and important commercial center and
the trade demands much greater and
better hotel facilities
The Ray and Reichert families are the
owners of the lot east of the opera
house and the newly acquired property
occupying some over 40 feet frontage
gives them IS feet east of the hotel, or a
total frontage of 125 feet on Willard street
The plan is to move the opera house
back IS or 80 feet and to the east side o1
the lots. This will give place for a 8
story brick structure in front, affording
large and light front rooms on the upper
floors to be connected with the St
Charles.' Street entrance to deep store
will be from the center of the new
portion, the opera house entrance being
just east A cigar and news stand will
occupy the southwest corner room, con
Meeting with the present hotel structure
This room will not be over 80 feet deep
in order that an open court may be left
to afford good light and ventilation fo1
the ST. Charles dining room and sleeping
rooms above. The present St. Charlie!
lobby, dining room and kitchen will be
re-arranged and enlarged about one-half
The additions and changes will give the
hotel about 90 rooms, and in case of con
ventions and big gatherings in the city
the new hotel would be able to suppl,
beds for 200 people.
Great pains will be taken to make
everything sanitary and up-to-date il
every particular Bath rooms, barber
shop, pool and billiard tables will hav.
places in the basement.
A modern hotel means great deal t.
every business man in Dickinson, anc
our people will owe much to Messrs
Ray and Reichert for their enterpris'
and faith in the stability of the city.
AS soon as Mr.. Ray returns from
Fargo, where he was called for U.
jury duty this week, the work of getting
out plans will be commenced. 1t i
probable that contracts will be let no
later than July1.

SOCORROS KID MINSTRELS
Gave a Successful Performance Last
Saturday Evening before an APP
preciative Audience.

The performance given by the
Kid Minstrels at the opera house
last Saturday evening was a de-
cided success. The audience
was not so large as it might
have been but was very appre-
ciative. Several of the younger
members of the company sang
we'll, so we'll, in fact, as to elicit
enthusiastic and prolonged APP
plause. Miss Bertha Kealer di-
rected the rendering of the pro-
gram very efficiently and Bob
Wright showed that he has a
talent for minstrelsy. One of
the chief features of the enter
tainment was a cake walk, in
which several couples took part.
Messrs. p. j. Savage, G.. f. Cook,
and w. II. Hill were announced
as judges. After the cake walk
they promptly awarded the prize
to little Miss Clara Bursum.
Taken all in all, and when taken
into consideration that it was the
first appearance of many of the
performers before the footlights,
the Kid Minstrels proved a win
ming card for Socorro in the way
of juvenile entertainers.

GOVERNOR GIVES 1T UP
The New Mexico Delegations
Hard Work for Early State
hood Has Been in Vain.
NO STATEHOOD THIS SESSION
But Governor Curry Invites Con-
gressional Committee to Visit
Territory Next Summer.

The question whether New
Mexico will be granted an en-
abling act at the present session
of congress seems now to be def
nitely answered. After several
conflicting and confusing press
dispatches had been sent out
from Washington during the first
days of the week, the Associated
Press published the following
under date of January 20:
New Mexico today practically
gave up its efforts to obtain
statehood at this session of the
Sixtieth Congress, when Cover
nor George Curry, appearing
with former Governor l.. Brad
ford Prince, before the House
Committee on Territories, invited
that committee and the cores
ponding committee from the
senate to visit New Mexico next
summer, after the national con-
vention to see and judge for
themselves whether the territory
which for fifty years has been
seeking admission as a state is
entitled to that benefit.
1t is understood that Cover
nor Curry'S invitation, following
the suggestion made to him by
Speaker Joseph Cannon a few
days ago that it would not be
10 press the statehood issue on
the eve of a presidential cam
paign, signifies a truce for the
winter 1t is positively denied
that inj consideration of this re-
linquiShment the House Commit
tee on Territories or its chairman
Representative Hamilton of
Michigan) has agreed to favora-
bly, report the statehood bill at
the short session next December,
but the delegation hopes for such
action.
The principal speaker before
the committee was former Gov
ernor l.. Bradford Prince. He
briefly sketched the efforts put
forth by the people of New
Mexico throughout the last half
a century to gain statehood and
claimed that the present popula-
tion of the territory was 400, 900,
based on the last school census
and gave a comparative resume
of its varied resources.
The committee took no action
on Governor Curry's invitation.
