Cowan refused to Admit Much
Evidence.

o. 0. Adams, the school furniture
agent, who has created good deal
of trouble in Ward county during the
past three years, was set at liberty
at Devils Lake, where he was tried
last week. Judge Cowan refused to
allow a good deal of evidence which
the state tried to introduce to show
the mans guilt. Adams visited the
Lockwood school district and wanted
to sell school furniture Two of the
directors thot that possibly they
needed some dictionaries, and Adams
induced them to sign a blank order
saying he would fill in the order proD-
erly. It was claimed that Adams
filled in the order with some furniture
and charts which the directors did
not order. Adams visited the home
of the clerk, Mr.. West and found him
absent, but his daughter, who did his
CORES ponding, was home. Adams
induced Miss West to make out a
warrant for $120 and he went back to
the treasurer, and induced him to
give a check on a Lansford bank for
$12O before any furniture had been
delivered. Adams went to Lansford
that night and got the money. Judge
Cowan refused to allow any evidence
showing that Adams had cashed the
check, altho the cashier of the Lans-
ford bank was there as witness

titled "Millie the Guadroon" or "Out
of Bondage" one of the best home tai
ent plays ever seen was presented at
Burlington, N. D., by the Mileterian
club of that town on Friday and Sat
urday nights of last week. Under the
careful training of the president CT
the club, Mrs. Edna Wilson, each and
every one of the players did excellent.
The hall was packed both nights
and never before was play more
enjoyed and appreciated by an audi
ence. The Mileterian club are to be
highly complimented for their orig
inality and tact. The stage was small
but everything necessary in the way
of scenery was there, and each scene
was beautifully illustrated. Excellent
music was furnished by the High
School orchestra and Mr.. Brady, a
noted violinist of Minot. Miss Lou
Bert sang a beautiful solo, Miss Ella
Marshall and M. J. Benedict duet.

characters:
DR.. Grover, fine gentleman of the
true Southern style, character full
of sorrow caused by the treachery OF
pretended friends. Mr.. Einar Madison
handled this part particularly well
and in pleasing manner.

truth, honor and manly principle, led
into all kinds of trouble by untrue
friends. This character was we'll
sustained and brought out by Mr.
Louie Smith. The william, Oscar
Daville, man Of the world. Well
versed in all the ways of polite So
ciety, the cause ofmost of the trouble
Of all persons connected is portrayed
In all it's phases was we'll sustained by
Chester Phifer.

ed by Maud Phifer, who did the part
exceedingly we'll and kept the house
in an uproar good share of the time
Siah, the darkey boy, was played
by Rollo Johnson and no one could
have acted the darkey better. He
was full of wit and brought down the
house whenever he appeared on the
stage.
Priscilla, the old maid, character
of herself we'll worth the money alone
kept the audience convulsed in
laughter with her unique sayings.
This part was well carried out by
Bessie Grier. Mile, the leading char
acter and one full OF pathos and sor-
row caused by the plotting of the
Williams was well supported by Grace
Phifer. Miss Phifer was perfectly at
home and the realism was carried

Last week it was reported that two
young men of Velva had captured a
wild man with little or no clothing,
and nine feet tall, by lassoing him and
tying his hands and feet. The story
was copied in the Minot Dailies, and
was sent broadcast thru the east. A
wise fellow from Minneapolis went
so far as to write asking that price
be set on the wild man that he might
display him in museum. The story
of course was pipe dream pure and
simple, and the Independent is shak-

Salaries for Aldermen.


 Alderman Russell, who has intro duced the resolution in the board of aldermen in New Haven providing an annual salary for members of the board, Is described as quite differ ent type of citizen than what hasty- minded persons have concluded. He Is an earnest, thoughtful matter-of- fact every day chap, who is employed as a shipping department foreman In one of the factories. He Is described as the antithesis of the grafter He argues that there are members of the board who devote many hours weekly to city business. The slight salary would not recompense them wholly, but would stand in the relation of an ex- pense account that would meet car fare and incidental expenditures neces sitated by looking after the affairs Of the city
 He points out that good men, whose service and counsel would be of value to the city decline to serve as alder men, year in and year out, simply because they cannot afford the tlmc In no city in the state are the members of the bonrd of aldermen paid, MT Russell Is aware of this and cites tho accepted fact that New Haven Is quite the largest city In the state and 1t t proper that the start be made there.

MR. rILsoN,s CANDIDACY.

Governor Woodruff lets no idle tra- dition stand in his way in considering the candidacy of Major Tilson for the nomination of congressman-a large, He knows that if there Is any tradi- ton to the effect that the candidate for governor and the candidate for congressman-at-lar cannot come from the same town, 1t can't possibly be over six years old, not very ven- erable tradition,
 Naturally Governor Woodruff would favor Major Tilson's candidacy as against Judge Walshs, During the entire session of the general assembly the governor had Senator Walsh on his hands and in constant opposition to his plans for the improvement of the state government. It would be as natural for Governor Woodruff to sit up nights with the Walsh political baby as to nurse like interest in the Banks political baby.
 Those who feared that 1t was to be a quiet year politically in Connecticut now have another guess coming. Things Is all het up"

"TEDDY, THE MEDDLER." {"

From the Standard oil retrial, from the Olympic athletes and from the West Point hazers MT. Roosevelt has turned his attention to the unobtrusive, peaceable, uncomplaining farmers Since the farmers comprise the back bone and stamina of the country, as all must admit the President argues that their welfare, their social, econ omic and sanitary conditions, must in- directly be of utmost importance to the country. Consequently he has named a commission which shall make thorough investigation of farming conditions and shall make a report to him with recommendations at the ear Hest possible moment.
 The one great objection to the Presi- dents latest activity is that the farm CTS themselves are strenuously refusing to become a national problem, which is not oversensitiveness on their part either. Just as there were many to feel resentment in the cities when the President urged 1t upon them to raise large families just so do the farmers feel a personal sting when 1t Is insin- uated of them that they do not live sanitary lives, They do not look upon an agricultural revival conducted by the government with much favor. They contend that it Is not needed but, even if 1t should be, that they are capable of doing their own reforming.
 The last few decades have seen vast changes with the farmers. The back woods of yesterday are the accessible localities of today in touch with the pulse of the world in all its phases all the time. The rural free delivery, the telephone and telegraph, the automo- bile and the trolley lines have all had their part in this change along with other innovations. Every year sees
