Grand Forks, filed on the claim Nov.

final proof His proof was ordered sus-
pended May 2S, 1908. and on Aug !,
1908, the Bismarck land office re-
scinded his claim to the land
The defendant did not have an at
torney at this hearing. He says he
asked the United States commissioners

right to do so and was informed that
he had. He was a single man when he
filed on the claim and spent much OF
his time on the land, alt]1o he visited
his invalid mother at times.
Two weeks before he, made final
proof he was married and then made

Trustee John j. Sonsteby has his way.
Mr.. Stonsteby is sure there is a con-
spiracy among the various school book

Chicago board Of educati In COM
mon with one or two other members of
the board he has been convinced of this
for some time. Last evening, angere
by the refusal of a publishing firm to
reduce the price on geography to the
figure which obtains In another state.
he laid the matter before the board.
Some one Is at our throat" he said.
Not only has the Macmillan company
refused to sell us Its geography at the
rate at which 1t sells ii In Indiana.
but there has not been a single offer
on the part of any publishing firm re-
Gently to reduce prices In amy way.
This is something that will bear re-
ferrlng to the school attorney and I'LL
timately, believe, to the federal Of
ficials.
There's undoubtedly a combination
of some kind that prevents the price
from coming down. and it's just as
certain that that combination Is keep
ing up the other prices. / am going to
push this matter and I believe the
board should take action at once"
None of the other trustees appeared
to be unduly excited by Mr.. s'onsteby's
charges. After listening to what he had
to say. they passed the report to which
he took exceptions and took up other
business, leaving, however, a generous
loophole for future investigation OF
the price question. This, Mr.. Sonsteby
declared, Will end in some startling
revelations.
The difficulty with the Macmillan
company arose several months ago ov-

raphy at the rate of As cents a copy. In

NOW WOMEN CAN'T FALL.
Handle Removed From Doors on Chs
cago Street Cars.

y
Chicago, Sept. 3.-lA device to make
women get Off street car without
facing backward is being tried by the
Chicago City Railway Company. Tho
scheme was discovered in connection
with the pay-as-you -enter type OF cars,
which have handle ON the front door.
Observing inspectors found that woqn-
en- in alighting seized the handle. and,
clinging to it, swung around to the
outside of the door, alighting with
their faces toward the rear.
The remedy consisted Of the removal
of the handle. Under the new plan, the
door is opened by a mechanical device
operated by the motorman. The pas
senger has nothing to grasp except a
handle at the forward end OF the step,
and seemingly cannot help facing for-
ward when leaving the car.
