other.
Il gave 'Ady' Arson an awful hckin'
when we started the school. I don't
remember just what the infraction OF
the rules was but at any rate Arson
was bound that The, not I, was going
to run things I was slender in those
days, and .Ady,' as we thens called
Pop Arson, was head and shoulders
larger than I. He was "a big hulk Of a
boy. but took him up before the whole
school, and gave him a good trouncing.
I never had any trouble with him after
that. Anson has always said that he
was going to get even some day, but
we are good friends His father,
Hank came to the school house inn
mediately following the whipping Incl

ACCIDENT NEAR mooRnEAp

The switch engine and Great
Northern work train met in a fatal
collision Monday morning on the
Moorehead and Barnesville branch
during a heavy fog. The switch train
was running along without orders
and the two engines collided with
terrific force. The engineers and
tiremen in both cabs and a number of
the crew on the work train were
hurled into the air and into the
wreck that followed the crash. The
engineer in the work train was be-
tween the engine and the tender. His
name was F. Goodrich of Neche and
he was killed instantly. Among the
injured were: Conductor McElroy,
bruised with scalp wound, Fireman
Murray, Brakemen Osmanson and
Corrigan, all bruised and Yardmaster
Bledsal also badly bruised. The fog
was so thick that neither engineers
saw the other engine until they
crashed together.

THE KINDERGARTEN IDEA
(COntributed)

Like all new and progressive ideas,
those of Friedrich Froebel, met with
great opposition. He watched the
child before the school age, and no.
ticed how he learned things through
his play and the idea came to him
that through intelligent guidance Of
his play at this impressionable age,
his character could be moulded and
his imagination aroused. He also be-
lieved that women were the natural
teachers, and these women to whom
he taught his ideas, were the found
ers of Mothers clubs.
The pedants laughed at Froebe
and said thai if he could only invent
some way of doing away with play in
school rooms, that would be worth
something. But his belief in the
kindergarten idea and the teaching
women grew as he saw the results
obtained. The children he taught
grew up and spread his beliefs till
now the kindergarten is an accepted
branch of the educational system.

the election as party candidate
should be left to the voters them
selves to decide. Mr.. Plumley stated
that on this account no invitation to
attend the meeting had been extend
ed to either Mr.. Marshall or Mr..
Johnson. The meeting had been
mentioned in the press and it was no
secret. NJ. N. Johnson, one of the
candidates was caller at the head
quarters and briefly offered words Of
encouragement and confidence over
the prospects of success Of the ticket
as nominated. He said the candi-
dates had the best of credentials di-
rect from the people, that the people
had confidence in the republican par
ty, and its leaders apd there was not
the criticism that was heard two
years ago and he believed the entire

ship and strenuous contention that
arose from the heat OF the primary
campaign have died out, and the re-
publicans of N North Dakota will pres

WEEKS WEATHER SUMMARY

The weather bureau at Bismarck
reported general weather summary
for the week ending Monday the
18th, and states that generally favor
able weather prevails thruout this
section. The temperatures averaged
considerably below the normal, due
about equally to low night and day
temperatures. Light to heavy frosts
were reported, and some damage re-
suited from this cause. There were
several hail sorms reported, and con-
siderable damage resulted. High
winds were frequent on the 10th,
the highest velocity reported being
68 miles per hour from the north
west at Bismarck. The precipita-
tion, which was above the normal,
was fairly well distributed.

CREAMERY. SOLD
To C.. E. McElroy and Local
Parties Who Will Continue
the Business.

Mr.. c. E. McElroy has bought the
business and creamery plant of the
Minnesota and Dakota Produce Co.,
in this city the transaction hav-
ing been practically completed today.
The creamery has been doing good
business this spring and summer and
has disposed of a large amount of
butter to wholesale dealers in the
west. Local parties will take hold
and make permanent enterprise of
the creamery. The company will be
incorporated at once.
The shipments Of butter from
North Dakota by purchasing Agent
Geo.W. Brown this year, will be very
large. Mr.. Brown has in 1908 bought
and shipped from this territory in
this part Of the state, to Seattle, 10
cars of creamery butter. The demand
for North Dakota butter is steady
and there will be paid this summer
for that product by western pur-
chasers over a Sl45, 600 in cash. A
good many eggs have also been COL
lected and shipped west but there
being no cold storage plant at this
point traffic in eggs has not reached
the proportion that it might other
wise. The jamestown creamery has
disposed of most of its product to
Seattle dealers.

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET

Elsewhere is printed the republican
national, state, and county ticket. 1t
will be seen that in the matter Of
public administrator, assessors, and
constables the ticket is not complete.
No candidate or person received
enough votes, namely 30 per cent of
the vote cast for secretary of state
two years ago, to secure the nomina-
tion of public administrator of this
county and the Office is therefore left
to be filled at latter date by the
county committee, meeting of
which is soon to be called by Chair
man P. W. Eddy. In the matter of
assessors there are four districts out
side of the City of Jamestown and no
one received enough votes at the pri-
mary to become the legal nominee in
the End, 3rd, and 5th assessors dis
tricts and these vacancies on the
ticket will also have to be provided
for by the county committee. But
two candidates for ustice Of the
peace received nominations, leaving
two more to be provided for to COM
plete the legal number Of justices to
be elected. The same applies to con-
stables; but two candidates out of
the four were nominated. The vacan-
cies, of both constables and justices,
will also be filled by the county COM
mittee. 1t is possible that the pri-
mary election law which requires a
certain per centage of votes to be
cast for the nominees for any given
office may be declared,in that partic-
ular unconstitutional by the state
supreme count. 1t is understood that
a case is pending, brought by the
democratic state committee to
test the law in this respect. AS soon
as the vacancies are provided for, the
published ticket will be completed.

RIVER NEEDS RENovATING

A ride on the river in a launch or
row boat is a pleasant one, barring
the sights and odors that arise from
the dumping of manure..and refuse
on the bank and in parts of the
stream. There is little current to
carry away such refuse and the hot
days make the decomposition very
evident.
There is a state law against the
fouling of any stream of this kind, by
any person, who deposits or allows to
be deposited any substance that will
make the water a nuisance. In this
respect the worst features are be-
tween the dam and the bridge across
5th street north, and in the vicinity
of the pest house.
There is no good reason why the
bank of this stream, which is now a
permanent and necessary adjunct to
the city water supply, should not be
cleaned up and kept clean and the
water itself rendered more whole
some.
1t is matter that concerns the
public health, as well as making the
prettiest wooded stream in the state,
a popular water way for pleasure
craft.
