MORE ARMY
RECRUITS

San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 90
Financial stringency has operated
to increase the enlistment of SOL
diers for the United States army,
and has temporarily checked the
alarming depletion that has result
ed from discharges. But for this
new blood" the Ninth Infantry,
one of the famous and historic reg
iments of the army now in garri-
son here, after long service in the
Philippines, would have been re-
duced to bare skeleton. As it
is, the companies average only 80
to IS men, considerably less than
half what The quota should be. The
same is true to a greater or less
extent of the other companies, not
only i'll the Department of Texas,
but throughout the army. 1t will
doubtless be made the basis of spe.
cial Legislation by congress this
winter, because, as einipent experts
have pointed out, unless something
is done to make the life of the
private soldier more attractive to
the young men, there will not be
any army left pretty soon. Several
hundred mems terms expire in the
Ninth on or about the Ist of Feb.
and enquiry develops that only a
very small number of them will
take on" again. Discharged sol
diers are filling hundreds of posi-
tons in this city. Over 90 per
cent of the motormen and con-
ductors of the San Antonio street
railway are ex-soldiers, and they
are found earning a good living
i'll other lines of trade, earning so
much more than their ex-comrades
in the service that they are ex-
amples to lure these away from
the army ranks. This is whats
the matter with the army"

BOSTON ARCH
BISHOP HONORED

Boston, Mass, Jan. 2o.-Amid
solemn, impressive and resplendent
ceremonies, and in the presence of
distinguished portion of the Ro-
man Catholic hierarchy of the Uni
ted States, Archbishop William II.
O'Connell was today invested with
the pallium, the sacred insignia of
his archiepiscopal Office. The CON
ferring Of the pallium was per-
formed by Cardinal Gibbons, of
Baltimore, who was assisted by a
large number of arch-bishops and
priests.
The ceremony took place in the
cathedral of the Holy Cross where,
80 years go, the recipient of the
honor today acted as an altar-boy
when the pallium was conferred
upon his predecessor, tire late Arch
bishop Williams. The cathedral
was decked in the papal colors, yell
low and white, interposed with the
American colors and the archbish-
ops purple.
About 10 o'clock a solemn pro-
cession wended its way into the
cathedral and throng of other
persons crowded the edifice. The
program began with the celebra-
ton of high-mass. The music was
furnished by a choir of more than
100 vocalists from the various
churches of the city, accompanied
by the organ and an orchestra. Car
dinal Gibbons acted as celebrant
and at the conclusion of the cele-
bration the very Rev. L. X. Hearn-
ey, of Washingr Z, d. c., deliver
ed an eloquent sermon. Following
this, tht pallium was placed. upon
the altar.
Cardinal Gibbons, robed in the
full vestments of his high office,
began the ceremony of conferrring
the pallium. The pallium,is band
of white wool, with two pendants
of the same material, and bears
four black crosses. 1t was handed
the Cardinal, who arose and placed
it upon the kneeling Archbishop's
shoulders. The ceremony conclud-
ed with the archiepiscopal blessing
to the congregation.

LITTLETON'S PLEA.
Asks Jury In Reaching Verdict
to Observe Ordinary Rules.

New York, Jan. 29.-The demand
for seats at the Thaw trial Wednesday
80 far exceeded the capacity Of the
court chamber that the police had
their hands fun In handling disappoint.
ed crowds. For the first time since
the taking of testimony begun Mrs.
Evelyn .Nesbit .Thaw had a seat in the
courtroom. Mrs. william Thaw, the
mother, Mrs. George l.. Carnegie. sis
ter, and Josiah Thaw, brother. were
also in the family group. The bar
against women spectators was sus.
pended and there were many OF them
on hand when Justice Dowling took
his place on the bench. Attracted by
Mr. Littleton's reputation as an orator,
prominent lawyers and men of affairs
from all parts of the country were In
cluded In the throng.
It was 1880 o'clock when Mr.. Little
ton arose and began his plea 10 the
jury on behalf of Harry X. Thaw.
District Attorney Jerome, who made
the point OF remaining away from the
courtroom throughout the summing up
OF Mr.. Delmas last year. was absent
when court convened. Assistant Dis.
trict Attorney Garvan wac present and
took copious notes OF the address OF
the chief counsel for the defense.
Mr.. Littleton said he asked nothing
more than that the jury observe in
reaching It's verdict usual ordinary
rules of any ordinary trial in any ordi-
nary court of an American community.
He cautioned the jury TO keep clearly
before them the fact that presumption
OF innocence is always with the de-
fendant until he is proven guilty. At
some length Mr.. Littleton explained
the doctrine of reasonable doubt, with
impressive strength in his presenta'
tion. MIR. Littleton reviewed Harry
K Thaw's history from the time or the
prenatal incident when his mother
in the middle of the night put out her
hand in bed TO feel the cold features
Of the child, until the night OF the
tragedy This boy" he said, took on
brooding, became very melancholy
when he came to his mother that
fearful night. may be blinded by par
tisanship, but gentlemen, can't you
see with me this defense is nothing
born of exigency; see that injustice
is done or that murder may be cover
ed, but born instead in the very his
tory of this boy?"

OF
ROYALTY

London, Jan. 2o.-The third, and
what promises to be the most inn
portant session of Parliament since
the Campbell-Bannernan ministry
came into Office, was opened this
afternoon by King Edward, with
all the historic pageantry which
has marked the ceremony since his
accession. The sovereign himself
read the speech from the throne
to the assembled Lords and Com
mons in the upper chamber. King
Edward and Queen Alexandra en-
tered the House Of Lords and oc-
cupied their thrones, beneath can
opy, with the Prince and Princess
OF Wales OH either side of them.
In the State journey to and from
Westminster, their majesties were
loudly cheei y the populace. T..e
king and queen rode iii the gilded
state coach, with a brilliant escort
of Life Guards.
There is every indication that
the session will be a critical one
for the party in power. Seldom
in recent years have so many ques-
tons of vital Importance been
scheduled for consideration and ac-
ton.
The budget will be not less in
teresting than the legislation. The
proposed reforms mean a great in
crease in the expenditures, and
when there is added to this an in
crease of $I5,ooo,ooo in the naval
estimates to meet the German pro-
poSals, an extra $5,ooo,ooo for the
new army scheme and a similar in
crease for education, experts say
the Chancellor of the Exchequer
will have to find nearly $4,000, 900
more than was necessary last year (;
and, if the expansion continues,
there will be a further increase of
SIPS 100000 next year.

Speaker Dlsappoints

A good sized audience which had
gathered at the Congregational church
Thursday evening to listen to an address
by Rev. Frank Dyer Of Chicago, ILL.,. was
keenly disappointed when the pastor,
Rev. w. j. Brown, read a telegram
which stated that MI. Dyer was not to
be present. The meeting was arranged
through State Secretary Powell and Mr.
Brown made active preparations for a
successful gathering, so that Mr.. Dyer's
failure to. keep the enlightenment was I'M
fortunate in every way. He is the
national secretary of the Congregational
Brotherhood and was to have spoken on
that subject.
In the absence of Mr.. Dyer, Rev. MIR.
Brown gave an interesting talk on the
work of the order and the brotherhood
movement which is now to be found in
nearly all the largest denominations.
originating with the Roman Catholics.
He explained tho purpose of the brother
hood and said that he thought Dickin-
son was ripe for such a movement for
the promotion of good fellowship in
church work. He hoped that some de-
finite action would soon be. taken and q
brotherhood, INSTRUMENTATION in
membership, would be established:
At the close Of his talk az informal
social hour was spent and Refreshments
of sandwiches, coffee, ice cream and cake
were served, The heavy thunder shower
prolonged the. social part of the program
and the interval of waiting for the storm
to let up was pleasantly passed. with

This is q busy week at the Dickinson

presented and the third, Mas New

The opening bill of the week was THE
Flaming Arrow," on Tuesday evening,
which was witnessed by a fair sized
house. 1t was good of its class and con-
tanned a number of especially pleasing
features. The piece was remarkably we'll
staged and several of the scenes were
elaborate and beautiful, while the pic
turesque costumes Of the many Indian
characters gave it plenty of color.
Wednesday evening the people of this
city were fortunate enough to see the
two Jeffersons, William and Joseph,
sons of the famous actor, in that old but
always pleasing comedy. THE Rivals. -
1t was a high class performance in every
way and of a standard that seldom strikes
Dickinson. There vas a good sized and
most appreciative house upon which the
delighted humor of the lines was not lost.
.Of the characters, the work of William
Jefferson. as Bob Acres, deserves the
highest praise He succeeded in bring
ing out all the humor of the part and
gave a most finished performance in
l-$iE
every way. Miss Rosa Rand, as Mrs.
Malaprop, carried off second honors and
gave this famous old character a perfect
Interpretation which could not have been
improved upon. The rest of the parts
were all handled in a capable way and
contributed their part to the success Of

The prosperity of Dickinson and vicin-
ityS is aptly shown by the condition Of
its banks. The Bankers register was
recently issued and out of SOS banks in
the state of North Dakota, only eleven
have deposits of over $500. 600. The
First National bank of Dickinson is the
second on the list and is only surpassed
BY the First National bank at Fargo.
The total deposits of the local bank are
given as 81, 316, 600. but the Fargo bank
has over a million dollars more, the total
being 81, 500, 90. The third on the list
il the First National bank at Grand
Forks which has deposits of only $3.50, :
600. Several other banks in towns near
Dickinson are included in the list of
eleven. Among them are the First Nat
ional bank at Bismarck which ranks
fourth, and the First National bank of
Mandan which is seventh on the list.

per acre as Judged from the shock. He
estimates his average annual yield at is
bushels per acre which is about two bu-
shells per acre more than the yield for the
entire state.
Mr.. David holds views somewhat at
variance with those held in the eastern
part of the state regarding the proper
time for blowing grain stubble. He is
so convinced that spring blowing is the
more profitable that he. has practically
abandoned fall blowing unless the fall
is a wet one which is of course very UNI
usual. In other sections, fall blowing is
considered more desirable. He is a firm
believer in deep blowing. In the plow-
ing Of stubble, preparatory for summer
following, he aims to put the plow eight
or nine inches in the soil. Spring plow-
ing is two or three inches shallower.
Two things are to be noticed in the
methods practiced by Mr.. David. He
practices a rotation, imperfect it may
be. He also returns fertility to the land.
With livestock, Mr.. David finds that
dairy cows and hogs are renumerative.
He also has a number of valuable brood
mares For hay for cows. Mr., David
considers a mixture of oats and Siberian
millet t be more satisfactory than any
thing else that he has tried. He intends
breaking some of the native pasture and
laying it down to bronze grass which will
probably produce more and better pas
ture than the native grass. He has q
tract of low wet land Of about 80 acres
in extent which he is thinking of break
ing and putting into alfalfa. Alfalfa
will doubtless be very successful upon
such land and the yield Of hay will be
four or five times greater than it is at
the present time. While alfalfa will
also prove successful upon much higher
land, yet there are thousands of acres of
bottom land which is highly adapted to
alfalfa and which should be sown to that
crop. Each season sees a little more
alfalfa acreage added to the total and
such areas will be new ,centers for its
further increase. Some attention to
details has been paid to the methods
pursued by Mr.. David. This is considered
worth while as it may offer some sort
of encouragement to hundreds of farmers,
newly settling upon western North Dako-
ia lands, who ! not yet clearly settled
in their minds if q living al be made
from q quarter. OF half section Of reason
ably good land. Nothing is being done
on this farm out of the ordinary. As 8
plain matter Of fact, there are many east
ern farms that would surpass it in quail
ityg and execution Of method. It demon
strates that farming can be made sue
cessful and that is the important thing.
