n, F. BOUCHER Died At
Los ANGELESYESTERDAY
TELEGRM RECEIVED YESTERDAY
CONVEYING THE SAD IN.
TELLIGENCE.
Was One Of the Old Timers in the
State and Warden OF the Peniten-
tiary for Twelve Years.

A telegram received in the city yes
terday from Los Angeles conveyed the
news of the death of N. F. Boucher,
for twelve years warden OF the state
penitentiary, and later member OF
the Union Mercantile company,
pioneer of Mclean county in the
early days of the settlement Of that
region, and for many years practic'
ing attorney, the old firm of Boucher
and Phlbrick being one of the lead
ing firsm of the city for several years.
Particulars of the death OF Mr..
Boucher were not given, but it is
known here that he has been suffer
ing for some time from heart trouble,
complicated with other ailments. he
has taken treatment at various times
for heart trouble, and when he left
the city several weeks ago he was
not at all we'll, but anxious to get out
to California, where his wife and
daughter have been since the death
of his son-in-law, Dr. w. G. Matchan,
which occurred about eighteen months
ago. Mr.. Boucher was quite i'll at
Minneapolis on the way to Califor-
mia, but rallied sufficiently to continue
his Journey. Evidently the trip
across the country and especially the
elevation of the mountain passes was
too severe for his rather enfeebled
condition and death resulted Wednes-
day.
The death of N. F. Boucher re-
moves another of the pioneers OF
the Missouri Slope. He came out in
the early days to LaMoure county,
where he has relatives now, and from
there he came to Mclean county,
where he was an attorney for time
at Washburn and was interested in
the early day political struggle OF
that section.
He came to Bismarck about 1890
and engaged in the practice of law.
He was always interested in politics
as republican and was for many
wears member of the county and
state organizations.
He was first named as warden OF
the state penitentiary in 1898 and
served until 1895, when he was sue
ceeded by E. H. Wilson. Two years
later he was reappointed as warden
and served until the incoming of the
present democratic administration
four years ago. During his term as
warden a great many of the improve
ments and new buildings at the pen
itentiary were built. The Irvine plant,
one of the largest in the northwest,
was established while he was the
warden. The present yard wall, the
warden's residence, the new hospital
building, the new office building and

Majority of Applicants Are Graduates
Ct the Educational Institutions of
North Dakota.

The department of public instruc
ton has compiled a table showing the
number of state certificates issued
during the past thirteen years. which
further goes to show the remarkable
increase in the number of teachers en-
plOyed in the state in that time.
1t is interesting to note that the
number of certificates issued to date
in 1910 exceeds the total number of
certificates issued during the five
years prior to the incumbancy of the
present superintendent The table

Imign for Sunday closing and took
this opportunity to close the Topic
theater. which was partly owned by
connolly's son. AT the time Of the
closing of the Topic there was no
ordinance under which the move
could have been made. This action
on the part of Olson and McGillic Is
said to have aroused a number or
people of the city and the present
movement is a part of the results.
There will be number of the
cases which have grown out Of the
movement tried today. The first one
will be that of McGillic and Olson
harged with allowing a building
which was under their control to be
used as a blind pig, the second case
will be against Douglas Cornwall
and Christ Strand charged with viola
ton Of the prohibition law in operat'
ing a place known as THE Moose
club" 1t is stated that this is the
name taken by the proprietors, the
same as was The Elks" and has no
connection with the secret society of
the same name.
Thos Mccormick. one of the old
time residents of Mandan, will have

lodged against Olson and McGillic, as

The majority of the applicants to
whom certificates were issued have
been graduates of the institutions of
+ stata, SO one may learn the
growth of the higher schools of learn
ing in North Dakota. Thus is also
shown the fact that North Dakota
institutions are annually furnishing
more OF the teaching force Of the
state.
The record of applications for ex-
aminations for county certificates is
as follows:
1903-2.697.
1909-3,99O.
191O-4,192.
The year 1903 was the first year that
Superintendent Stockwell was in Of
fice During the eight years of his
incumbancy there has been an in
crease in the number of applications of
1,497. 1t is interesting to note that
about As per cent of the applicants
passed the examinations.

President to make approaches to the
progressives with a view to smooth

they are in the dominating position,
and that It Is for them. to take the

matter Of patronage. He viii give
them as much consideration with re-

consideration, and try to get their
support for the Administration This
has been the idea Of some OF the
closest advisers Of the President for
some time.
The insurgents are not going to hold
alOOf from the President, but at the

things in motion without special ref

y they will be found supporting most
OF the things the President advo-
