Henry Clews in his last review says:
New developments in the financial
district have this week been unus-
ually suggestive and important. They
intimately concern the readjustment
of financial relationships and point
with particular emphasis to the
Strengthening of the community of
interest principle in the railroad and
banking world, thus promising a
more complete and a more legitimate
and lasting arrangement than has
heretofore existed. This is direct
result of the passing of Mr.. Hartman
and is in no sense criticism of that
noted f1nancier or of his work. AS
the world progresses men arise from
obscurity; they do work for which
they are eminently fitted and which
is seemingly bound up with them as
a life work that cannot do so we'll.
Mr. Hartman was such mana
man of the hour. Railroad trans
portation interests of this country re.
quired a leader for upbuilding and
reconstruction on practical transport
tation and financial lines. Mr.. Har-
riman accomplished more than
should have been expected from
single embodiment of mind and mus
cle He left many plans for further
expansion incomplete, but had he
lived to the century mark, with his
great energy, perception and self-re~
lance unimpaired, there still would
have been plans incomplete. 1t may,
therefore, be said without disrespect
for the dead that that leaders, plans
were as nearly complete as they ever
would have been and that the rail
road developments of the country
can therefore spare him without
great loss-eyen with some gain.
Further upbuilding would have
meant further concentration and the
creation of situation that neither
our public nor their representative
lawmakers would have permitted"

Suddenly. :'<s;

Rolette, Sept. :u.-Miss Mable
Stewart, teacher in the Wolf school
district, died yesterday In this viii
lage shortly after entering the Office
Of Drs. Claytaugh and Nordbye where
she expected to receive medical aid.
She came from Thorne ON the train
accompanied by her friend Mrs. j.
A. Charboneau, Miss Stewart came
from Michigan last spring to visit
Mrs. Charboneau and improved in
health so far that she later began
to teach school. One term had been
finished and she was now enjoying
a short vacation. She felt worse
than usual the last few days and de-
cided to come to Rolette to see the
doctors, but her condition was so
serious that she had some trouble in
getting from the train to the doc
tor Office. She was the adopted
daughter of Charles Knight, of Cor

death, and will probably come to
bring the body to Michigan for in
terment.

The MILITARY SQUARE.

A Formation Borrowed by Wallace
From tho Fleminss. .>
The greatest of all Scottish anniver.
saries is that of Bannockburn. fought
in the year 1914. Apart from its bear
ing on the independence Of Scotland,
the battle will always have an excep'
tionalt interest from the military point
Of view, as Bannockburn may be said
to have been the birthplace Of the
British square. "Proud Edwards
army mainly consisted of cavalry,
while that Of the Scots, on the other
hand, was almost exclusively composed
of foot folk armed with the spear,
and these Bruce threw into "schil-
troms." or oblong squares, formation
borrowed by Wallace from the Elem
ings. who had employed it with sue
cess at Courtray to resist the charge OF
the English cavalry. '
Hitherto the mounted mail clad
knight had carried everything before
him, but Courtray and Bannockburn
proved that he was pow1e3ess to break
resolute spear armed infantry drawn
up in ''schiltrom," or hedgehog, forma-
ton, and these two battles revolution
lied the tactics of the continent and
Of our own island. Profting by the
lesson which had been taught them
at Bannockburn, the English applied
the tactics Of the Scots with brilliant
success at Crecy and still more at
Agincourt. As it was the Scots who
may be said to have originated the
British square at Bannockburn, so it
was they again who at Balaklava were
the first to discard it with their "thin
red line" and now, owing to our
changed conditions of warfare, it is
discarded altogether.-London Chron-

School Teacher Who Left Suddenly
For Parts Unknown Sends Back
Word That He Would Like to Col
lect Weeks Pay-Law May Make
It Impossible for Him to Collect.

Minot, Sept 18.-The mystery re-
garding the disappearance of Prof.
Ethan Allan, who was employed some
time ago by the directors of the Bur
lington school district and who left
that place in such a sudden manner,
the story of which appeared in this
paper, has at last been heard from at
Pittsburg, Pa, where he mailed a let
ter to the clerk of the school board at
Burlington asking for the amount of
money that was due for the one week
that he taught there. AS the law Of
the state provides for the payment Of
all school teachers at the end Of the
month and is silent regarding paying
at any other time it Is extremely
doubtful whether Allan will be able
to collect for his services that he rem
dered the school district.
1.-THE idea that he jumped his posi-
ton at Burlington to go to Ohio for
the purpose of accepting position on
a river boat as stated in Minot pa
per is ridiculous and altogether mis-
leading as all Of the river boats have
been tied up for the past three weeks
and why man should want to quit a
job to be Waterman of some of these
boats Is past all understanding, except
to the man who wrote the article"
said Burlington business man when
interviewed.
No reason has been given for his
sudden disappearance but If some Of
the rumors are to be believed, AL
Ian has reasons of private nature
for leaving the country.

Superstition Seems to Govern Most Of
Their Actions.
Mohammedans of India are very
superstitious. No Mohammedan will
take bath on Sunday or Tuesday.
But If one bathes on Wednesday all
misfortunes and misery that are in
store for him till the next Wednesday
will be averted. AS rule, all NOLAN
medans battle on Fridays before going
to perform the jumma prayers. For
DOMINIC new clothes Saturday, Sunday
and Tuesday are regarded as bad days.
If any one dons a new dress or puts
on q new cloth or allows his tailor to
cut piece of cloth on these days. he
will live miserable life till that dress
or cloth gets torn or is thrown away.
II shirt is torn and If the wearer
wants to stitch it, it must be taken off,
for If it is stitched while on the body
the person will soon die. A Moham-
medan will never allow a barber to
come near him on Tuesdays. for Tues
days and Saturdays and Sundays are
bad days for shaving. II absolutely
necessary he will get himself shaved
on Saturday or Sunday, but never on
Tuesday, as his star is supposed to fall
in blood If he does so. II one receives
money or some valuable thing, 1t is
taken with the right hand, for II it
is taken with the left the person re-
ceiving 1t is said to forget all about
it very soon or to nislay 1t. A de-
won't Mohammedan will not start on a
journey on Wednesday,. for it is be-
1ieved he will never return home safe

even a snake never ventures out of
it's hole on this day.

One of the most annoying things
about swans is that they live to an
extremely great age and that 1t Is
impossible for the ordinary observer
to guess what, their years may be.
President Grover Cleveland once had
an amusing experience with some
swans, according to writer In the
American Magazine. He had been in
the south shooting and brought home
number of wild swans, one of which
he sent to each member Of his cabi-
net and to some other associates.

thanked me politely for having re-
membered them, but none Of them
seemed to have much to say about
how they enjoyed the birds. . :,

The @Macaroni."

The "macaroni" were exquisites or
tops who In England and France led
the fashions from 1880 to 17S5 and
were distinguished by an immense
knot OF artificial hair worn on the top
Of their heads. A small cooked hat
which perched ridiculously on their
topknot satin or brocade coats and
small clothes fitting tightly to the body
and silk stockings with ribbon garters
composed the costume OF these fash
ionable gentlemen, who invariably car
ried long walking stick with tassels
attached and frequently a bouquet tied
to the handle and encouraged mine
ing and affected gait and manner.
There was during the war for indie
pendence a body Of Maryland soldiers
who on account of their snowy uni
forms we're called "macaroni"

TAKING HEED,

Mr. Hill is not an extremist or al
alarmist and is in all things ex
tremely practical. Had he not beer
so he could not have built system o.
railroads from St. Paul to the coast
which has eventuated into line from
Chicago to the Pacific with many
and branches. Wher
Hill speaks, the country listens, an6
it has heard his latest warning with
respect to the necessity of better
farming and the increasing of the
yield of foodstuffs. The New York
Times in commenting upon Mr.. Hills
address before the Bankers Associa.
ton says:
The warnings sounded by Mr..
James Hill that we can no longer
''feed the world" without an in
crease of agricultural population
and an improvement in agricul-
tural methods are beginning to
be needed. 1--WE are likely to be-
come a wheat-importing nation"
Mr.. Hill said on Tuesday at the
American Bankers Convention.
Accompanying the report of his
speech The Times printed a dis
patch from Washington with ref
erence to future supply of the
American meat market from Ur-
uguay and Argentina. A univer-
sal practice OF rotating crops
would nearly double the product
per acre of the staple cereals
and, with our increasing popula-.
ton in the cities we should new
ertheless continue to feed the
world.
But with the conspicuous ex-
ceptions of the States of Mime
sofa, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, and
Nebraska, the grain producing
states have in the last decade
shown a decided tendency to in
crease their acreage production.
In the five-year periods from
1868 to 1908 the yield of wheat
per acre for the entire country
has risen from 1878 bushels an
acre to 1879 bushels, despite the
fact that the great prairie tracts
when first cropped were especial
ly fertile. The yield for barley
has risen in the forty years from
23.8 bushels an acre to 26.5
bushels; that of rye from 1873
bushels to 16 bushels an acre;
oats show some gain, while corn
is the only backward crop.
There is difference of two
ffths of a bushel in favor of corn
grown in the earlier half of the
period from 1868. But Mr.. Hill
may derive some comfort from
the figures of the yield of wheat
per acre in Pennsylvania, which
rose steadily from 1873 bushels in
1868 to 1876 bushels in the FIVE
year period of 1903-1907, while
Nebraska's yield increased from
124 bushels to 17.8 bushels Of
wheat per acre. Ohio, Indiana,
and Illinois also show pronounc-
ed gains in their cultivation of
wheat
Slowly, we think, the farmers
OF the country have appreciated
the need of mixing brains with
their farming. This process has
not been retarded in recent years
by the propaganda of the freight
carrying railroads and by such
agencies as the cooperative dem
onstrations of the, Bureau OF
Plant Industry at Washington.
Z The American farmer is still ig-
J norant of his business as COM !
pared with the European peasant,
whose production per acre aver
ages nearly twice that attained
in this country. But such inn
\ providence may be overcome rap
4 idly by the right methods. And
recent statistics. would indicate
that the right methods are be-
ing ann1ied r 49,. sYr.. -

MOTHER BARRED
FROM THE GIRL
Mrs. lone Hall Looks WiStfuIly
at Daughter in the Juvenile
COURTROOM.

Bright-eyed little Helen Hall, 3 years
old, the object of a contest between the
mother, lone Hall, and the Juvenile
court, appeared in court before Judge
T. D. Lewis yesterday and gazed smil-
ingly upon attorneys and others. She
was in the custody Of Mrs. A. L. Young,
matrOn of the juvenile court, and was
returned to Mrs Young until a final
settlement of the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings now in progress.
All day yesterday was taken up in
arguments by S. F. Armstrong, attor-
ney for Mrs. Alice Y. Shreves. grand
mother of the child. upon whose petit
ton the habeas corpus proceedings
were brought. The mother. still a slip
of a girl who appears to be less than
20 years old, wept silently as the child
was brought into court and she was
denied the right to hold her daughter
on her lap. Always while the child was
in the room the eyes Of the mother fol-
lowed the little girls every motion.
The demurrer filed by Farley p.
Christensen, attorney for those in whose
possession the child has been placed by
the juvenile court, was overruled by
Judge Lewis. It was contended by Mr..
Armstrong that the answer TO the ap-
pliCation for a writ Of habeas corpus
had not set up any legal cause for de
tanning the child, and that the court
should return the child to her grand
mother, with whom the mother is now.
living
Judge Lewis will decide the case this
morning at 10 O'Clock.
