LE'SENT|MENT
Exists in All Localities Where Inter-
terests of jamestown College
Have Been Presented

President Kroeze, of the James,
town College visited LaMoure and
Oakes this week, among other To-
calities in the southern part of the
State, comforting with residents Of
those towns in regard to college mat
ters. He finds very pronounced and
general sentiment favorable to sup
porting and building up strong
seat of learning in this part of the
State, and everywhere he has gone
the people interested in the progress
of Christian education and coc
lege for their children, are enthus-
iastic as to the location of James,
town College. It's location is regard
ed as strategic point for such an
institution. The accessibility of
Jamestown from all directions and
its we'll known reputation for being
clean, orderly and well governed
city, are acknowledged by all who
are looking for a suitable college for
the education and training Of young
people.
Pres. Kroeze is satisfied that the
field in North Dakota is ample for
the steady and satisfactory support
of an institution such as the James-
town College aspires to become. The
financial encouragement already re-
ceived is ample evidence of this feel
ing, encountered in various parts of
the State.

Henry N. Hanson, one of the pros
porous farmers living southwest of
town brought in sample of his Big
Four oats Saturday. These oats went
70 bu. to the acre and weighed from
SO to 38 pounds to the bushel. The
sample that Mr.. Hanson left at this
Office shows what can be raised in
North Dakota If the right seed is
used and the ground properly titled.
AS Mr.. Hanson has only few hund-
red bushels he intends to sell them
for seed. 1t will pay those wanting
seed oats to look at the samples that
Mr.. Hanson has left around town

Bismarck, Nov. 10.-The long ag-
ony is over at last and the Governor
has finally made the appointment of
a successor OF the late U. S. Senator,

The announcement of Thompson's
appointment followed one OF the bus
lest conferences that has been held
among the leading Democrats in the
State during the, three, weeks in
which the senatorship has been in
the balance. The announcement
came, as surprise to the greater
number Of the Democrats who were
In the city, and it is likely that it will
be an equally great surprise to the
Democrats of the State. j

McHARG'S ADVICE TO YOUNG
MEN.

; Ormsby McHarg, on his retirement
from public Office warns young men
against making a life business of get
ing political jobs, and the advice
is to degree good. Young men
should take part in politics. and
should not hesitate to strive for po-.
.litical preferment, when they feel
that they can do some good to the
public and themselves. Political pre-
ferment is honorable and to be
sought after, but from the right
point of view. The young man
should not think to gain political
snap" in which he may rest and rust
and draw a pay check every month.
That is the danger of politics with
too many applicants for place. They
have little to offer the public except
the inclination to draw salary and
the willingness to do as little work
as possible. This is the kind of poll
tical preferment that young men
should be warned against.
It 10 pretty safe to say that the
same amount of effort that makes q
good public Official, If applied in prt-
vate life will bring far better results.
The public is notorious poor pay
master, when all things are consid-
cred. For the government of this
country is by parties, and except for
those Of the employees who are in the
civil service, good service is Of no
weight in determining tenure Of Of
fees when political government
changes. At the end Of term Of
Office in an administrative position,
the young man is apt to find himself
unified for other work, out Of tho
channels of private business, and his
inclination is to "seek another job.
It is this sort of time serving that
young men should be warned
against. It is ruinous in many
cases to thrift and ambition, and II
not stepping stone to that success
and citizenship that ought to be the
ambition Of the young man Of good
Intelligence and habits. The tenn
porary reward may be higher than
that of private life. The ultimate re-
ward is apt to be much less.-Bis-
marck Tribune. &a.

LARGE AMOUNT OF FALL PLOW-

The traditional .'freexe-up" for
North Dakota arrived on time last
night, and Monday the ground
was pretty stiff. and may prevent fur

it is possible that considerable fall
,plowing will be done during the
month as it usually grown warmer
after the annual freeze up ''so-called''
that occurs between the 7th and the
10th with great regularity. Many
farmers consider plowing done after
Nov. 1st Of little value, and prefr to
finish what is left In the spring rath-
or than plow at this season Of the
year. A large amount Of fall plow-
ing has been done this year.

BATHING IN THE SEA.
II Originated In EnGla1A In the
Eighteenth CeAtafy.

II Originated In EnglanA In the
EiEAteentA Ceatary.
Sea bathing had its origin in England
before 1850, when DIR. Richard Russell
published his treatise on the virtues
Of sea water. The healing virtues OF
the sea bath were not understood, nor
was the practice Of sea bathing gem
orally resorted to. There seems to
have existed horror Of the sea: In
deed, In medieval times a compulsory
dip in its waters was q sentence often
passed on the public offender. In the
earlier decades OF the eighteenth Gen.
fury western Europe suffered heavily
under .king's evil" the popular name
for that tuberculous affection which
scourged all classes from peer to peas
ant.
DR.. Russell. Sussex practitioner.
had observed that dwellers on tho
coast used to drink Of the sea water,
battle in It, even wash their sores in
1t and bind them up. with sea weed.
Having satisfied himself ~ to the
efficacy of the practice he. began to
prescribe for his patients with most
satisfactory results. His treatise re-
suited in the coasts becoming large
" patronized by the ailing, and the de-
mand for seaside lodgings was soon q
growing quantity. This gradually
spread to the continent. Then people
commenced to see that fresh water
was good thing, and the vital i'm.
portance Of the skin as an excretor Of
waste was greatly emphasized some.
what later lin 1884. when the morning
tub" was instituted and has since &C.
quired q worldwide reputation.

OLD JEWISH TRADITION.
The Way the Israelites Of Old Lost
Their Third Eye.

The Way the Israelites Of Old Lost
Their Third Eye.
The Jews Of eastern Palestine and
Asia Minor have a queer tradition
which has survived from ancient times
and tells Of . remote period In their
history when every fully developed Is
raelite was equipped with three perfect
eyes. The two main optics were stu
ated in the front part of the head, just
as eyes are today. but the third was
located in the back part Of the head
just above the nape OF the neck in the
edge Of the hair. This wonderful third
eye In man was not "evoluted" out OF
existence, but was closed by divine in
given the tables OF stone on Sinai.
You remember that Gods command
on the day that the tables were renew
ed was to the effect that no man should
be seen In the vicinity Of the holy
mount. (See Elk. xxxiv, 81 The be-
levers In the three eye tradition say
that Moses supplemented Gods COM
mand by ordering the faithful who
were encamped In the valley to turn
their heads from the mountain. This
they did, but took good care to uncover
the eye that was situated In the back
Of the head. Moses. noticing this show
Of duplicity on the part Of his follow
ers, asked God to close tho third. or rear.
eye, and since that day the Israelites.
In common with the remainder Of hu-
mainly. have been forced to depend On
two eyes only.
