has lofty indifference to the charge
of doing novel things.

Recognizing the wonderful growth
and development of the western part of
the state and realizing that the settle
ment of this vast region means the es-
tablishment of hundreds of rural schools
needing capable and efficient teachers
and cognzant of the fact that in this
vast stretch comprising the Missouri
Slope and reaching down to Valley City
in the eastern part of the state there is
not single educational institution,
Representative Wolbert has introduced
a concurrent resolution providing for
the location of normal school at Bis
marck Of course, this means an
amendment to the constitution and in
the very nature of things the effort Of
today cannot bring results for four or
five years. By that time-before that
time-there will be great need of
normal school on the Missouri Slope
This measure will not in any way de-
tract from the interest and welfare of
the schools for teachers now estab-
lished-and it is anticipated that the
Minot proposition will prevail at this
session. There are good arguments in
favor of the proposition looking to. the
establishment of normal school on the
Missouri Slope 1t is only anticipating
the needs of great and growing re-
qion.

If some one would have passed bill
prohibiting the setting of executions for
Fridays he would confer a boon on
humanity and forever put to rest the
hoodoo which has been placed on that
ill-omened day since Christ was cFu-'
cited. The world is full of people who
cannot be induced to start any under
taking on Friday. and it is time an
enlightened world broke away from the
superstitions of two thousand years.

Editor Tribune: Senate Bill No
119, recently introduced, has been the
subject of various lauditory articles
and I should like to call attention to
some features OF the bill on the other
side. Sections 2 and 6, without con:
sidering the rest Of the bill, prove 1t
a piece of reckless and unconsidered
composition. These two sections will
force every farmer to label his grain
| and seed with the variety and name
and his own name and address, and
to guarantee the variety name under
penalty ct from ten to five hundred
dollars If he wishes to sell any seed
to his neighbor: and also will force
him to mark every bin on his prem
Uses, and every sack or box he takes
to market. 1t will also make the fruit
dealer, druggist and grocer mark and
sell only in properly marked packages
all table nuts. raw peanuts or, seeds
used for medicinal or favoring pur:
poses and every packet of garden and
flower seeds with his own name and
address and If one single packet
should not be true to name he would
be liable to the fine.
I want every farmer, storekeeper,
feed dealer, grocer, druggist and ele-
vator man to read the bill carefully
and after he has done so want him
to do some thinking, for there is a
whole lot to think about. Every one
of the provisions Of the bill means
every citizen of the state of North
Dakota and the farmer has the hard
est part Of it. I am not opposing the
bill if it can be made right. ~ =

bad SIABBING ARRAY
YOUNG MAN At HEBRON SET
UPON BY UNKNOWN AssAlL-
ANT - ALMOST LOSES HIS
LIFE i,

New Salem Journal: Excitement
has been running high at Hebron the
past week over an attempted murder
or stabbing fracas which occurred
in the little burg Friday night.
Alfred Bolke, who is night watch
man at the brick yard, attended a
birthday party at E. H. Mann's home
and at about 10 o'clock In the even
ing left the party and started for the
brick yard, arriving there at about
10:30, going direct to his sleeping
room, and on opening the first door to
enter;;~a man grasped him by the arm
and said: "Now, I've got you," strik-
ing him with a sharp knife or razor.
Bolke, being a strong, husky lad, gave
his aggressor a hard push, stepped
back and closed the door and started
for town as hard as he could run. On
reaching Henry Mann's house he dis
covered that his heavy clothing had a
cut in them on the left side ten in
ches long, clear through to the under
wear, and just cutting the underwear
a little. He wore a watch and
heavy chain and the knife evidently
hit the chain, and tore off two but
tons at the top of the vest; the chain
preventing the knife from cutting
Bolke. A posse was organized last
night and every effort possible made
to catch the would-be slayer, and the
search is being kept up continually,
but up to this time no trace of him
has been found.
A greater conundrum has never
come before the people of Hebron
for Bolke is man who never harm
ed anybody, is well liked and was
never known to have any enemies.
Had it not been for his strength he
would very likely have been stabbed
to death and not found until the day
men come to work the following morn
ing.
Bolke is about 81 years of age, large
and strong. He had no gun on his
person and no motive can be assigned
for such an assault upon him.

DECOYS FOR SIGHTSEEING
Pretty Girls Smiles Attract Atten-
ton of Young Men and Business
Quickly Revives.

Washington.-Whe you come to
Washington and pretty girl smiles
at you from one of the sightseeing
cars don't get puffed up with pride.
That is what she is there for, but
most young men don't find it out until
they have given up their dollar, mount
ed the "Rubberneck Coach" and tried
to carry on the Irritation.
1t is result of the increasing num-
Der of sightseeing cars and the
growing competition. One enterprising
"spieler" found that his descriptions
of historical and contemporaneous
Washington failed to draw the patron
age.
One day he gave a free ride to
couple of friends-attractive young
women they were-and was panied
to observe that before the car got I'M
der way half a dozen young fellows,
evidently visitors, had come aboard
and were endeavoring to pick up an
acquaintance. The "spieler" was
about to declare battle when the stu
alton struck him in another light.
Every day since the young women
mount the car as it waits for pas
sengers and cast alluring glances at
passers-by. After the susceptible ones
get aboard they find the smiles still
working, but not for them.
Considering that it is the dull sea-
son, business is remarkably good.

JACKSON, Miss, October DE
spite the announcement of Capt. Arch
ibalt Butt, military aide to the Presi-
dent, that Mr.. Taft prefers plain food
at the banquets served in his honor, no
material changes will be made in the
program for the great feast to be given
in the Presidents honor when he visits
Jackson on November LIST.
The banquet will be the most elab-
crate function of the kind that has

tendance will be limited to 200, and
the committee in charge is busily en-
gagged in disposing of seats to promi-
nent Mississippians and other invit-
ed guests at $25 each. Confidence is
felt that every seat will be occupied.
While the menu planned is elabo--
rate, members of the committee state
that the President will not be required
to go up against any culinary didoes
with which he is not familiar. AS one
member expresses it, leach item will
be described in plain United States
language, and if the Presidnt don't
like any particular DISH he has the
privilege of passing it up, just like all
other guests. Furthermore, if he
wants ham hook and cabbage, or any
other form of ordinary fare, We win
see that it is provided for him.
Present indications are that Jack
son will have fully $4,000 out-of-town
visitors to greet the President. The
