Xxi Mathews, pioneer ranchman and
man of wealth, Is in jail here on q
horse stealing charge. He was brought
here from Mondak Wednesday morn
ing of this week by Simon Westby,
who was acting as special deputy
sheriff. Yesterday afternoon there
was preliminary examination and
Mathews was bound over to the dis
trict court.
XII Mthews is perhaps as widely
known as any pioneer in these parts :.
It is charged that his ranch was the
mecca of horse thieves, and that he
was the evil genius of the country. In
the Jud Miller case it appeared from
the evidence that Mathews had sent
Slim Bare to Jud Miller's place with
instructions to have Jud get him two
Or three plugs and that Miller COM

range of homesteader named Ben

arrested on the charge Of being an ac-

which was to have taken place today.
Mathews deposited $1,000 cash bail
and was to have his liberty. In the
meantime Simon Westby went to

Governor Norris to bring Mathews
back. The arrest was made in the

One of the methods employed in,
exploiting the states interests is the
showing of exhibits. The exhibits are
put up in splendid style and comp-e-
bend the states resources, from farm.
ing to mining. They have never fail
ed to make good impression. Just
now the state is represented al Oma-
ha at the National Corn exposition.
The Omaha exhibit is made up Of
tiWs y conceivable product OF the
state. All kinds Of grains and grass
es; po~teries and c]aXs. coal and
otheb wealth making products are
shown: The Ignite coal exhibit is
specially good as arrangements have
been made to show how the stun will
burn as a fu mace fuel.
Another plan that has been carried
out with success is the publication of
the Moth Dakota Magazine. This
has circulation Of about 10000 CO.
pies and goes through the eastern and
central states. 1t advertises North
Dakota entirely.
In addition to this, the department.
gives out all information concerning
the state for which there is any de-.
mand. It is publicity bureau in ev-
cry sense.

A ecent study of the boys in the

is very prevalent among both men and

ment. In the school in question one
boy remained in the fourth year class

tobacco. In the third year class eight
remained out Of the twenty-six who
