Well bully for yourselfl but don't bully

'rWell bully for yourself! but don't bully so loud.'
 This little lad lived to be about 20 years of age, but died martyr to duty during the yellow fever scourge-"ten- derly mindful of those who would have no strong young man to sustain them when his noble spirit went to its rest"
 The art glass memorial to Mrs. Davis is set in the east side of the building. The inscription thereon is: ITO the glory of God and in loving memory of Varina Howell Davis, wife of Jefferson Davis, president of the Southern Con federacy, born 7th of May. 1926, departed this life the 16th of October, 1906 O, Lord, Thee Have I Trusted, Let Me Never Be Confounded. Erected by the United Daughters of the Confectionery in 1907 Dec Vindici." The subject or theme of this window is Christ in the house of Mary and Martha Christ is seen in a sitting posture in one Of the rooms of an eastern house, and, the two women, Mary and Martha, are minister ing unto him. The face of Martha shows great strength of character. has an ex- pression of firmness, yet is thoughtful and sympathetic. Mary is typica1ly beautiful as in Bible portrayal. The facial expressions, the delicate traceries, the exquisite colorings form delightful whole which harmonizes perfectly with
 
 West, chairman of the committee for this work. gave the following as reasons for the theme and inscription: "In the study of Mrs. Davis life, do you wonder that in all sacred history your committee could find no one character to typify the strength and faith of Mrs. Davis? For centuries the names of Martha and Mary, the followers and beloved friends of our Lord have been typical of strength and faith and so for this window we have chosen the theme of Christ in the home of Martha and Mary, and beneath the customary inscriptions are the final words of the Te Deum which were the last words of our revered friend-who lived and died with strength and with faith.
 Upon each of the windows ex- cept that of Mrs. Davis, the Davis coat-of-arms occupies the lower right hand corner while the Howell coat-of- arms is on the left"

Sentenced for Ten Months.

On Saturday, John Kelley pleaded
guilty to larceny before JudgeFlaherty
and was sentenced to ten months in
the prison at Saltwater. The Han
cock Record gives the following ac-
count of the crime:-
"Emil Rather learned a $75 lesson
in about three minutes last week. He
was paid off and proceeded to cele-
brate by getting full. Two men fol-
! lowed him out of the saloon at about
eight o'clock in the evening and re-
lieved him of his roll. He knew moth
ing about it until the marshal found
him an hour later on the vacant lot
west of Selland's store. Accompanied
by Gust Erickson who saw the man
with Rather the marshal went over to
the depot and picked up one John
Kelley. The next morning before
Justice Babe, Kelley pleaded guilty
and said he and another man whose
name he did not know robbed Rather.
Kelley took Rather's pocketbook and
gave part of the money to his p al. He
says he counted the money near the
corner of Erickson's hardware store
and threw the pocketbook away,
claiming they only secured $2s.75
while Rather claimed he lost $75. The
second man was at the depot when
MCGOWAN arrested Kelley and i'm
mediately left town and no trace can
be found of him since. He was not
seen in company with Rather and It
was not known he was implicated at
all. Kelly was held to the grand jury
and being unable to furnish bonds
was committed to jail"

THE PRl.1ARY ELECTION.
Norby Wins for Clerk of Court over
Munro.

The primary election on Tuesday
was comparatively quiet, there being
only two contests, that between L. P
Norby, of Donenlly, and Geo. FL
Munro, of Morris, for the Republican
nomination for clerk of court, and al
so the legislative contest between W.
G. Bicknell and L. G. Spooner, of this
place, and Peter Johanson, of Ira
verse county.
For clerk of court, L. P. Norby won
over Munro by 11s votes, and there
being no Democratic nominee, he viii
probably be elected without opposi
tion.
In the legislative contest, VIM. O.
Bicknell and L. g. Spooner were re-
nominated, and will be opposed at the
election by James Adlard, of Browns
Valley, a Democrat, and Knut John
son, of Grant county, prohibitionist.
Mr.. Bicknen received fine endorse
ment here in Morris, leading his near
nest competitor by So votes. Knut
johnson, candidate for the prohibi-
ZIONIST nomination, did not receive a
single vote in Stevens co unity.
The vote on all offices in detail is
shown in the table of the official

THREE PERSONS RESCUED
Mother and Two Children Carried
From Burning Home.

A fire in the residence of Mrs. Dora
Klein at st. Paul might have had a
serious result but for the vigilance OF
Louis Klein, a son, who werks in a
livery stable across the street from his
home.
The Kleins live up stairs and the
lower part of the house is occupied by
Mrs. Mary Thompson and her two
young children. Louis Klein had
been at work for some time when he
was surprised to see flames issuing
from the rear of his home. He rushed
across the street and into the house,
where he discovered that Mrs. Thomp-
son and her children were still in bed
He reused them, carried the children
out of doors and called the fire de-

Runs Down the Street With His Throat
Cut From Ear to Ear.

Cut From Ear to Ear.
Running through the streets of St.
Paul with his throat cut from
ear to ear, Joseph Klein terrorized
people in the vicinity of st. Peter and
Exchange streets. Men, women and
children scattered in all directions as
the blood-covered man, crazed with
pain, dashed across Exchange street
and tried to force his way into a sa-
loon on the opposite side of the street.
The saloonkeeper and his family
saw the man approaching and barred
the door against him. Klein then
turned in the direction of st. Josephs
hospital, staggered through the main
entrance and fell unconscious on the
floor.
He was taken to the operating table
and his wound sewed up, but he died
within an hour. He was janitor of a
school and dependency over loss of
his position is thought to have

DEPARTMENT WANTS CHANGE
Policy of Discriminating Non-Reser-
vatiOn Indian Schools.

A recent issue of the Minneapolis
Journal contained the following
Washington dispatch on the discon-
tinuing of non-reservation Indian
schools
Commissioner Leupp of the Indian
bureau is gathering many facts in
connection with the administration
and collection of students for non-re-
servation Indian schools which he will
present to congress next winter. In
his last annual report he advocated
the gradual abandonment of these
schools, asserting that much money
was being spent unnecessarily, and
that for half the amount applied to
the support of non reservation schools
good reservation day schools could
be maintained, with more benefit to
the Indian children. He urged con-
gress to grant the interior depart
ment authority to turn the non reser-
walton schools over to the states in
which they were located, the states to
bind themselves to give Indian child
rem free tuition in whatever branches
were taught there.
Give Away rlorris School.
Since congress adjourned, Commis-
sioner Leupp has been in correspond
ence with officials of several states,
with a view to finding out just what
the state governments would be likely
to do in the matter of transfers of
these schools. He finds that there is
some misunderstanding on this
question, but he hopes to get matters
Strengthened out so that the PROPOSE
tion to take over the government In
dian schools can be presented this
winter to such of the state legislatures
as meet. One of the schools which
Commissioner Lenpp thinks may be
given away is that at Morris, MINI.
Superintendent Brown of that school
has told Leupp that it is increasingly
difficult to get students for his school,
and that adequate accommodations
and tuition can be had at other
schools.
One that has taken good many of
the Indian students who would natur-
ally go to the Morris school is the new
agricultural Indian school at Wahpe-
ton, N. D. Indian children naturally
want to go to the nearest school, and
their parents back them up in their
desire. superintendent Brown is one
of the school superintendent who has
refrained from questionable practices
in getting pupils, and has been COM
mended for his course by the commits
sioner. No decision has been reached
on the non -reservasion schools in the
Dakotas, and the probability is that
they will be among the last to be dis.
posed of, as they are, generally speak
ing, in the heart of the territory in
which Indians reside.
Superintendents of several schools,
removed some distance from the ma
tural source of supply, have pursued
dubious methods of getting pupils
with a view to having their enroll
ment kept up to a certain standard.
They are anxious to get the $167 a
year which congress allows for the
support of each student. Canvassing
of Indian reservations has been re-

On both days the weather was

Paid admissions to the grounds and

largest amount ever received for ad-
missions, and substantial help to the

"petty graft in the way of special

Will Blot Out "Canvassers''
It is the commissioners intention to
blot out the iniquitous system of "can-
vassers," and the schools which rely
upon the efforts of these gentry will
have to go, too, if Leupp has his way.
The canvassers had become nuisance
and worse. They neglected no means,
fair Or foul, to land children for their
schools. Upon the reservations they
were like the rival hotel runners who
make life miserable at the exit of a
city railroad station. Agents of the
opposing schools pestered Indian
fathers and mothers with their ar
guments, often setting one against the
other. And in at least one WE'LL
authenticated instance canvasser
wound up his campaign by kidnapping
the youngster outright.
the soliciting was done to a large
extent by teachers and others con-
nected with the schools. Cases have
come to light in which teachers were
recommended by superintendent for
increased salaries, the increases were
allowed, and it was afterwards dis
covered that the great merit of those
teachers was in catching Indian
youngsters.
BY recent order Leupp has cut off
the canvassers, root and branch. They
are banished from all reservations.
Only superintendent may present the
merits of their schools to the Indians,
and them only thru the cooperation
of the agents in charge of reservations,
This new policy is expected to have
its effect upon the attendance at the
schools this fall, and will give the
government officials additional data
about the necessity for their continu-
ance.
Those schools which have a legiti-
mate constituency to draw from will,
it is expected, show that the govern
ment money will be well spent to
maintain them, while those whose at
tendance has been maintained by the
canvassing method will show their
weakness. Mr.. Leupp's ultimate aim
is to dispose of all the non-reserva-
ton schools, but the process of
elimination will be gradual, those
which are of least practical benefit to
Indian children to 60 first.
