BOYS ARE MAKING
RECORD in COURT
PAROLE SYSTEM IN JuvENILs
DEPARTMENT or DISTRICT
COURT, REQUIRES BOYS TO RE
PORT THEIR EVERY ACT AT
WEEK END TO CLERK.

An interesting piece OF record be-
ing made in the district court of Cass
county, is that In connection with the
parole system. Several years ago
Judge Chas. A. Pollock instituted tho
parole In connection with handling
Juveniles committed from the justice
court for the first time.
1t has been the practice 20 give the
boys a chance II a single spark of good
could be discovered, rather than chris
ten them confirmed criminals by send
ing them to the state reform school,
which in many instances has proven
a breeding place for law breakers.
There is a large number Of boys on
parole in the district court at the
present time. Every Saturday a re-
port is filed at the office of the clerk
of the district court, showing a COM
plete history Of the actions Of the lad
for the past week. What time he
arose and retired, whether he used
any tobacco, liquor, frequented shacks,
attended school, Sunday school. how
much he earned and spent and various
other facts are shown. On each visit
the boy is given a blank for the NEXT
week. A large number of these rs-
ports are on hle at the Office OF the
clerk and more are being received each

G. N. WILL BUILD
SPUR DOWN ALLEY

The much talked or extension OF a
spur Of the Great Northern down the
alley between Broadway and Fifth
street is soon to be an established
fact. Surveyors are at work today
running the lines and although g. N.
officials refused to make definite
statement, 1t was learned this after
noon on good authority that this spur
will be pushed as far south as First
avenue north at once.
The matter of extending this spur
has been hanging fire for over ten
years. AT one time the matter caus-
ed a great deal Of discussion and de-
bate in the city. AS long ago as ten
years back the @. N. secured the right
Of way down this alley and proposed to
run a spur. At one time there was
an agreement signed that the @. N.
was to build the spur inside Of sixty
days. but for some reason 1t was
dropped.
That the spur viii be built now,
however, is said TO be a certainty.

JONES ALLEGED TO

WITNESS IN CASE AGAINST

sAULT WILL HAVE HIS HEAR
ING AT 4 p. M. ToDAY--IMPoRT-
ANT QUESTION INVOLVED.

Frank Jones was arraigned before
Justice Wade this morning by County
Attorney johnson, who charges him
with completely in the alleged Grim
inal assault upon Beatrice Lundquist
by Henry Brown, who is In Jail wait
ing the action of the grand jury. AT
the hearing OF Brown ON the charge
Jones was a material witness and was
put under bonds, as witness, which
he could not furnish, and In default
was remanded to the county jail
When the hearing Of Jones was call
ed today the county attorney asked
for a continuance and Court Commits
sioner Witherow set the hearing for A
o'clock this afternoon.
In this matter there are interesting
complications. Since the committal
Of the offense, Jones has been found to
be deserter from an infantry COM
pany in the u. s. army and instruc-
tions from the military authorities
have been received ordering Jones re-
turn to Fort Lincoln, near Bismarck
as soon as the civil authorities have
done with him.
Jones made a successful effort to be
released on his own recognizances as
a witness, but was Immediately ar
rested by order Of the county attorney
as an accomplice in connection with
the graver charge. but whether this
will hold remains to be seen. The
county attorney fears that If Jones il
allowed his liberty and is nabbed by
the police as a deserter and returned
to Fort Lincoln, as per instructions
he win be unable to secure his services
when wanted as witness and in legal
circles II is stated that this Is nice
question.

Chicago, Sept. 2.--Cables on wheat
1 to 1A lower and on corn X higher.
Receipts OF wheat are gradually in
creasing in the northwest and unless
foreigners show more disposition to
buy our wheat we can see nothing to
cause any particular advance in the
prices.
Rain has fallen In the Missouri val
ley during the past twenty four hours.
Undoubtedly serious damage, how
ever, has been done by the drought Of
the past few weeks, but we do not be-
iieve that prices can be advanced very
mucn at present unless more buying
power comes into market.
Receipts OF oats are fairly liberal.
Receipts of hogs about as estimated.
Stocks OF provisions here are very

THE SHEPHERD King.
General Representative of w. A. Brady
Arrives to Complete Arrange
ments for Great Production.

Col. VIM. A. Thompson, general rep
resentative for VIM. A. Brady's enter
prises, arrived In the city last eve-
ming to make the necessary arrange
ments attendant to the staging Of Mr..
Lorimer's colossal production of The
Shepherd King, in which that distin-
guished actor, Wright Lorimer en-
acts the titular role Seen by a rep
resentative of The Forum at the
operahouse, Mr.. Thompson was busily
engaged with the stage staff issuing
instructions for this mighty presen-
tation. Mr. Thompson took a recess
and chatted as follows:
Like Klaw g. Erlanger's Ben Hur,
Mr.. Lorimer's production of The
Shepherd King is a spectacle of mas
siveness that requires many intricite
stage arrangements to stage properly.
The firm Of Klaw g. Erlanger cooper
ated with the local management in
.reconstructing the stage of the theatre
here for the big effects In the Wallace
play when that production was shown
here. and are furnished with a metro
politan stage that viii admit putting
forth a presentation of this s+upendous
historical narrative as entertained
theatre goers for months at the big
Auditorium Chicago Knickerbocker
theatre New York, and the Boston
theatre, Boston. The mere mention
that The Sheppard King is under the
direction OF VIM. A. Brady Is a
guarantee to the public Of the stand
ard Of excellence with which it will
be staged.
Mr.. Brady's many enterprises like
The Man Of the Hour, A Gentleman
From Mississippi. The Dollar Mark,
Robert Mantel and Miss Grace George,
are looked upon as the foremost of
ferings of the present day in Ameri-
can theatricals. Mr.. Brady has done
more single handed to elevate the
stage than any other American pro-
ducer. All his productions are clean
and wholesome and it Is with much
pride he announces the first Canadian
tour Of Mr.. Lorimer in Thu Shepherd
King, as the most important play that
he has ever handled and that will tour
the western country uhis season.
The booking or The Shepherd King
at the Fargo operahouse will cover
three days and one matinee openine
on Thursday Sept. 16 More than 100
people are engaged In the production
which makes the expenses very heavy
In order to make the season notable
event in Fargo, the railroads enterins
the city have been solicited by Col
onel Thompson to make special ex-
cursion rates for theatre parties. The
country about for distance OF 100
miles will be advertised in the inter
est of the production.
