In Minnesota political things are
quiet, says Mr.. Cheney. The princi-
pal matter Of interest just now is In
the differences that have arisen be-
tween Governor Johnson and Senator
Bailey as to the attitude OF democrats
on the tariff, arising from an alleged
criticism OF Governor johnson upon
the position of some of the democratic
senators, and which criticism Cover

With regard to politics in this state
Mr.. Cheney finds no very well devel-

finds some sentiment in favor of j. A.

PUT OFF MANUAL
TRAINING A YEAR
HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPALS SAY
WAIT TILL 1910.
Proposed New Course Will Not Be
introduced In High Schools of NJ.
.. This Ysar--HaIf Year Courses to
be offered. f.

Grand Forks, N. D., May 24.--ManuaI
training was the principal subject Of
discussion at the teachers conference
held here today at the university.
While the manual training problem
has been foremost for the past year
the conference this morning decided
not to push the state high school
board in establishing this course, and
1t will not be introduced until 1910,
when IL will be established as a regular
course Of study.
The manual training committee con-
sisting OF Superintendent G. w. Han
ma, Of Valley City, A. c. Crane Of
jamestown and. s. Henry Wolfe Of
Minot, made a report favoring the es-
tablishment of manual training in the
schools outlining every department Of
the work and setting forth the ad-
vantages to be obtained. 1t is the
opinion Of the committee that at least
fifty to eighty minutes per week. in
two periods, should be the required
time devoted to the manual training
work.
English Change.
Considerable discussion arose over
the present course Of English pre-
scribed for the high schools by the
high school manual. President Mer-
rifield was authorized to appoint
committee to revise the present
course, to confer with the high school
superintendents and to file their re-
port with recommendations to the
state high school board.
Hall Year Course.
It was decided to offer half year
courses in the high school as we'll as
full year cources in the subjects of
botany, zoology, economy and English
history. An effort was made to have
Greek eliminated from the list of Of
fered subjects in the high school
course, two years Of Greek now being
offered. After lengthy animated dis
cussion IL was decided to let Greek
remain as an offered subject. Meteor
ology was eliminated from the list of
offered subjects.
Resolutions Adopted.
st the conclusion of the conference
resolutions of appreciation were
adopted showing the respect OF those
assembled for the services offered by
President Merrifield who has presided
at the head OF the annual conference

ence and the one which has just closed

ADVERTISING
NORTH DAKOTA
COMMISSIONER GlL5REATH HAS
ADOPTED UNIQUE METHOD
OF BRINGING NEW SET
TIERS TO STATE.

Bismarck, N. D.. May 24-The de-
partment of agriculture and labor has
recently adopted unique method OF
attracting the notice of the country AT
large to the many opportunities for
procuring a home or employment In
this state, and also to the splendid
field offered for investment to persons
possessed of means and looking for q
more enlarged sphere Of operation.
This has been accomplished by the
insertion of brief, pithily worded ad-
vertisements in New York, Philadel-
phia, Cleveland, Chicago, Peoria, Sioux
City and other leading papers in their
respective localities, inviting the pub
lies attention to this state and Offer
ing the departments aid in placing
the wants of those answering the ad-
vertisements before the people of
North Dakota. The number of ans
wers received up to the present time
has been very satisfactory; those in
turn have been briefly summarized and
tabulated by Commissioner Gilbreath
and sent to all the commercial clubs
in the state, and there is every reason
to believe that by this means many
highly desirable merchants, mechanics
and farmers will be induced to make
their future home with us. The fol-
lowing selections from the lists for
warded to the commercial clubs are
quoted as typical class OF inquiries be-
ing received:

JAIL FOR FORGERY
THEo. THOMPSON, ARGE o
WITH RAISING CHECK FROM
81 TO $1o0-cAN'T GET
BONDS.

Harvey, NJ D., May 24.-Theo.
Thompson, who is well known in this
city, and who has been working for K.
o. Rauk for several months, collecting
and soliciting, was arrested on com
plant sworn to by Peter Kunanz,
charging Thompson with fraudulently
raising a check.
1t seems that some time during the
last of April, Kunanz had given Thomp-
son a check, which Kunanz alleges
was for 81, and that Thompson raised
the check to 800.
During a conversation Thompson
had with Andy Dompier he became
angered and tore the check up and
threw it in spitoon, from where it
was afterwards resurrected and pieced
to gether upon a glass.
There are several irregularities in
the check, which Kunanz alleges were
made after he had signed 1t. Thomp-
son had endorsed 1t and attempted to
use it in payment of bill, but the
check was refused.
The arrest was made, and Thompson
was held in the city Jail and given a
hearing before Judge Schatz He
waived examination and was bount
over to the district court, with bail
fixed at $500, which he has been un-
able to furnish up to the present time
