JEFF WILL MEET
JOHNSON IN MARCH
FORMER CHAMPION DECLARES He CAN
GET IN FORM AND WILL MEET
JOHNSON NEXT SPRING.

Chicago, June 5. The burning
question of the hour has been an
swered.
James j. Jetfrles will meet Jack.
Johnson for the heavyweight
championship of the world at Col
ma, California, next March.
The authority for the above
statement is no other than James
himself. The hoilermaker con-
tided this fact to a friend when he
was in the city last week.
Jeffries was asked point blank
to name something definite in ref
erence to his return to the ring,
and declared it would be about
March II around Frisco.
IT, "Jetf's" plans turn out as ex-.
pected it will be about five and a
half years between his champion
ship fights. His last appearance
in the ring was in Frisco, Aug.
26, 1904, when he sent Jack Mum
roe to the cleaners in two rounds.

E. j. Schollander of the Willis
ton Experimental farm, has re-
ceived twenty packages containing
500 grains of the best dent corn
in the world, from the ten ears
which won SIS. 200 in premiums at
expositions last year.
The corn was secured by Presi-
dent L. w. Hill of the Great
Northern railroad and he sent it
to Mr.. Schollander- who expects to
pr oduce some prize winning corn
from the seed. On the ten ears
}, which won the sweepstakes, there
were some 10000 grains. E. E..
Faville of Des Moines paid $3.50
for the 10, 900 grains. Through q
friend President Hill secured some
5000 grains and after keeping a
few thousand to plant on his own
farm, divided with his friends.
The result of planting this prize
corn will be shown at the National
Corn Exposition this year, which
will be held in Omaha December 6

.MINOT'S GAS IS
NOT RIGHT KIND
TESTS MADE SHOW THAT LATELY
FOUND PRODUCT WILL NOT
BRIGHTEN UP."

Minot, N. D., June "A sam
pie of the gas taken from the we'll
which was drilled on the grounds
was tested by Superintendent S.
Henry Wolfe of the city schools
and LaDue of the Union National
bank. The test showed that the
gas was almost pure nitrogen. Al
Westhope the gas contains twelve
per cent nitrogen, a good burning
mixture. ....
Manager johnson of the gas
company said: Il am at loss to
explain this peculiar condition. l
have never encountered such we'll
either in my actual experience or
in my readings. The sand is the
regulation gas sand, the gas acts
as all gas wells do. The forma-
ton indicates gas but it is not gas
that will burn. We are leaving
the pipe open in the hope that the
nitrogen may blow itself out if it
is only pocket. Nitrogen is a
good fire extinguisher but has no
commercial value. -

On last Friday night the gradu-
ating exercises of the Williston
High School were held in the
Gates Opera house and eleven of
our brightest young men and
women received the coveted diplo-
mas for which they have been
working so faithfully for the past
four years.
The class of 1909 is the largest
ever graduated from the Wi)liston
schools and eight out of the eleven
ARE boys.
The musical part of the program
was furnished by the Williston
Concert Band, ard the High
School Glee Club and Double
Quartette.
Each member of the class han
died their chosen subject in a
manner that reflected credit upon
themselves and their teachers
After the Valedictory, which
was delivered by John Harris,
Supt. Ellithorpe, in few we'll
: chosen words recommended the
class for graduation to the board
of education. The diplomas were
presented by G. G. Mackenroth,
who in a short address started the
graduates out upon their career
for which an excellent foundation
has been laid by their four years
course in our high school.
The opera house was decorated
with the class colors and the class
motto ''Dig" was suspended from
the center of the stage. The op-
era house was packed to the door
and the exercises were enjoyed by
all.

A Library Benefit.

We all believe in public libra
ries. We frequently discuss the
library we are to get by and by.
We do not find that it is helping
the boys and girls who are grow
ing up in our town now. We all
want library for ourselves, for
our neighbors and for the good
name of our town. Why not get
it now and be getting the good out
of it? We ought not delay get
ting public library because we
cannot afford a largo one. The
best libraries are those that have
grown from comparatively small
beginnings. A small library is a
nucleus for larger one.
Having public library no mat
ter how small would make it east
er to secure donations from veal
thy citizens and when our town
has reached the stage when it
would be possible to support a mu-
nicipal library it would be easy to
merge the original library into a
larger one.
A library in Williston would be
the center of our intellectual life
and would stimulate the growth of
all kinds of clubs for study and
debating. ..,..
A Library Benefit will be held
in Gates opera house Wednesday
evening, June 18th. A program
consisting of songs, readings and
instrumental numbers by local ia
vorites will be given and light re-
freshments will be served from
eight to ten o'clock.
Admission: A we'll bound book,
not necessarily new, a standard
work of fiction, biography or his
tory, which you would consider
worthy of a place in your home
library. Lacking book, cash
will be accepted.
A library should benefit all the
people and therefore it should be
encouraged and supported by all
the people. Come out and help
and make it your library.

Whereas, mis- ma tciiie:a courage and
unfiinching devotion 10 the cause of

Whereas, his tireless efforts for the

|" messed the impressive cere-
monies of corner stone lay
ing under the direction of the Masonic
grand lodge Of Iowa, There is no
more impressive ceremony known TO
the fraternity than that of the laying
OF the memorial tablet of a Masonic
edifce, and the exercises here this af-
aernoon We're in perfect keeping with
the beautiful observance fa aded down
from the early days of Free Masonry
The building that is being made pos
sfbfe for the Masons of Marshalltown
mad its conception in the organization
OF the Masonic Temple Association,
perfected a few years ago. Last Win
ter, after a.pparently-ying dormant. the
association took on renewed vigor, and
active arrangements were begun TO-
ward securing stock subscriptions that
would realize the end in view when
the association was organized.
In March meeting was held, and on
the 10th of March it was formally an
nounced that the project was assured
and that the building would be con-
structed this summer.
Original Plans Three Stories.
The original plans for the building.
however, were not for the beautiful
five-story structure that is now being
built, but for a more modest temple of
three stories.
AS the executive committee progress
ed in its work, however, it was found
that there was Warranted by the active
interest in the project a building of
four stories, and plans We're made 20
that effect AS the building was further
talked among the members renewed in
terest was shown, and it was finally
determined to make the building five
stories high. as shown in the accom-
panying photograph, made from wash
drawing prepared by Architect A. F,
Gauger, of ST. Paul.
Now instead of a $4,000 building, as
first planned, one to cost $4,000 will
become the home of the Masonic
fraternity, and give to Marshalhown
the largest, finest, and most modernly
equipped office building in the city.
How the Building Will Appear.
The new Masonic temple is being
built in architectural style designated
as classic design. The construction is
of terra Gotta, brick and steel. The
main entrance is to be tiled with
ceremic mosaic tile. and trimmed witt
italian marble wainscoting.
The lower floor will be made into twc
large store rooms, 30x130, with full
Easements. The second, third /ant
fourth floors will be furnished as mod
ern offices. and the fifth will be use'
Tor lodge purposes

will be one of the most complete and

AS a matter of course the increase in

show material expansion after Sep

NOT AT ALL SENSITIVE.

The Newburyport News has made a
mistake in thinking that The Bulletin
has taken any serious part in "the
Nutmeg state" controversy. The News
says: I'VE fear that the governor and
The Bulletin are taking the matter too
seriously. II we Of Massachusetts, got
sensitive every time the New York
Sun, for instance, jibed at us about the
sacred Goldfish or the CORY host the
Ancient and Honorable Artillery, we
should be in hot water most of the
time. 1t is not to be supposed for a
moment that anybody imagines that
people down in Connecticut now man
ufacture wooden nutmegs, and the
most sensible thing which the people
of the state can do is to turn off with
a laugh all this sort of allusion of
which they complain. Perhaps they
can't quite see the humor of such rib
aldry, but other people will be apt to
think that they attach altogether too
serious Importance to It,"
The Bulletin has always felt that
the maxim, Least said-soonest
mended" applies to this. What the
governor said upon the subject APP
peared in our columns, but we have
