TUE GIRL RETURNS
Bookkeeper Who Disappeared From Fer Home is Broken
 Down in BeSlih.

Miss Jennie Trewren, the young bookkeeper who had been employed in the store of w. H. Hoffman on Grand street, and who disappeared last February, returned to the home of her parents, MT and Mrs George Trewren of Watertown, last even- ing. The homecoming of the girl caused almost as much comment in the village to-day as did her senss- tional exit. She is thought to have left this city with E. A. Whitman, who until that time had been a col lector for the Prudential Insurance Go. She came home last evening in company with her sister from New York and is said to be practically broken down in health A reporter of the Democrat called at the Trew- ren home to-day, but the girls mother was very reticent and did not care to discuss the subject.
 My daughter returned home last evening"" she said, but We have no information we care to give to the papers"
 Did you know she was coming?" asked the reporter.
 We knew nothing about it until we received a dispatch last even ing" she replied.
 Tn answer to the question if the girl had come from New York with her sister, Mrs Trewren said that she had.
 Just at present we have nothing to say. The girl is far from well, but we expect to have her al right again within short time by giving her the care she needs"
 The girls father, George Trewren who is an engineer in the Heminway & Bartlett silk mill, was equally reticent. All I care to say" de- clared the father, lis that our daughter has returned home and we are mighty glad of it. Her going | away was indeed a big surprise and big disappointment to us and her | homecoming is another surprise, but | it is of a far different nature. 1 do | not know where she has been the past few months and was not aware that she was coming back until a | telegram was received at the house last evening. My daughter brought her from New York and I was so glad to see her that asked no questions but welcomed her in my arms as she | entered the house. As to her being | married I know nothing about il neither does my wife. No one came with her except my other daughter. I The reporter learned that Mis- | Trewren is almost broken down ir health and practically collapsed when she entered her home last evening | It Is said that she has been in New
 York for some time, but seemingly did not call upon her sister there until recently. Her parents while she was away did not hear anything from her and during her five months absence no one in Watertown learned anything of the handsome young woman.
 Miss Trewren was for some time employed in Hoffman's store. where she made many friends and was con- sidered a very popular young woman
 During the latter part of February she suddenly disappeared and it was the supposition that she left Water. bury with E. A. Whitman. the cou pie receiving much notoriety at the | time. Whitman was married man
 being the husband of Miss Minnie
 Freeman, who resides with her par ents in the Trott block on East Mair | street.

No State Farm Loans.


A letter has been received at the
county auditors Office from Commits
ioner Hegge which states in part:
"The board of university and school
lands at meeting, fully considered
the matter of resuming the purchase
of farm loans, and owing to- the con-
dition of funds, that can be used for
this purpose, it was decided that no
more such loans can be made this
year.
cit will take practically all of the
money now on hand to pay for bonds
and mortgages already authorized and
the money that is expected to accrue
on contract payments, etc., will no
more than be sufficient to take care
of the offers of school district bonds
that may be made.
cit will. therefore be necessary to
reject all applications for farm loans
now on hand that have not already
been authorized and no further appli-
cations will be considered this year" :"

unusual accident that befell- the 3
year old son OF NJ. N. Collins, a resi-
dent of Fargo yesterday. The boy
was killed by an explosion of boiler
attached to a kitchen stove. The
cause of the explosion was the freez-
ing of the water pipes between the
tank and the heating coils in the.
kitchen range during the night. In
the morning at IRE was built in the
stove, and as there was no way for
the steam to escape, the coil burst
with.terrific force, tearing out the
entire front of the stove and scatter
ing pieces OF metal and scalding wa
ter over the room.
The family had just gotten up and
the two children were standing near
the stove dressing and the parents
were also in the room when without

Good Roads In North Dakota.

This subject wa, recently discussed
at the University of North Dakota
before the Civics Club, by a student,
Mr.. VIM. III. Clark, who has given
several months to it's careful invest
igatiOn.
Mr.. Clark showed how backward
among the states North Dakota still
is with her highways. And yet good
roads are of prime Importance. The
sum of s1.25 will haul ton of freight
5 miles on common road; 1912 to Is
miles on we'll made road; 25 miles by
trolley: and 25O miles on steam road.
Good roads mean economies in time,
in number Of horses needed, in wear
and tear, and besides mean an increase
in land values far beyond. their cost.
Mr. Clark discussed fully the engineer
ing side Of road, building, showing
clearly that our state has gravel beds
in some parts and burnt clay in the
Ignite parts, amply sufficient for road
surfacing. However state Highway
Commission Of competent engineers is
needed before we can have good roads,
OF any roads at all worthy the name.

.ernment in our state by means of fcare-
