perpetuated by the bestowal of his
name upon the finely wooded park on
Denmark hill, within a stones throw
of his old home.

The state spelling contest held at
Bismarck last week was very sue
cessful affair and showed that the
state OF North Dakota has a fine lot
Of spoilers. There were; thirty count
ties represented at the contest, and
some excellent records were made.
Th first test was 100 words to be
written this was followed by twelve
rounds orally. In the written contest
there were twelve who were perfect
and none missed more than four
words. IN the oral test only two
words were missed. This comprized
all the words which were sent out as
the words to be used in the contests
and included nearly 1000 words.
1t was then decided that It would be
impossible to select the winners Of
the honors by using this list of words
and State Supt. Stockwell supplied a
new list Of words comprising fifty
words. that were considerably above
the spelling expected from scholars
as far advanced as the contestants
were. These words were used in sc.
lecting the successful contestants.
The first honors went to Mclean
county, the second to Eddy county
and Ramsey got third place. =.
| The successful contestant for this
county, Miss Cecilia MEME missed
but one written word, was perfect in
the oral test and had an average Of
76 per cent. on the supplied list. This
was indeed an enviable record, stand
ing third among thirty contestants.
Miss MEME got in prizes $4,000 be-
sides q free trip and expenses to Bis
tmarclz. The prizes were $500 for the
county contest besides special prizes
lof $500 in, jewelry: given by outs
f1Hansensof this city. ana $500 IN gold
given by G. M. Fisher In the state
contest she got $40. But these are
not as valuable to her as the fact that
her score was so high, in the county
and state contests.
The Judges who awarded the prizes
were selected from counties that had
no representatives in the contest.

contest and was assisted by Pres. Nc

MAJORS HEARING
 SET FOR MONDAY

The preliminary hearing of William Majors, the railway fireman charged with train wrecking, has been passed until next Monday by mutual consent of the counsel for the defense and for the state. The hearing was set for today in Judge I. H. Benners' di- vision of the Inferior court, but was passed, as was expected.
 It is thought that the matter will go directly to the grand jury, which is now in session, but that body de- liberates, according to law, in sworn secrecy, and nothing, of course, can be known of its intentions.
 Majors Is being represented by the law firm of Goodwin & Ross of Bes- semer and by Jere c. King of Bir- mingham. Solicitor H. P. Heflin rep resents the state and will be assist ed in the prosecution of Majors by the firm of Tillman, Bradley & Morrow, counsel for the Louisville and Nash vile raidroad. It was with the lat ter raidroad company that Majors was employed as a fireman and the specific charge against him is that he was guilty of throwing the switch which caused a northbound passenger train to run into string of freight cars on the siding at Cunningham few months ago.
 The case is being watched with much interest
