MANY ARE
RUSHING IN

Cy Noble, accompanied by Mace Far
rar, arrived from Arctic City yesterday
afternoon, where he had been in COM
pany with Deputy Marshal ]. G. MUIR
ply. Mr.. Farrar was summoned to go
to Fairbanks as a witness in the case
of Jens Christensen, charged with cut
ting Joseph E. Burns in that city the
first of last September. He proceeded
on the way thither today. The deputy
marshal remained at Arctic City.
In going in, Messrs. Noble and Muir
ply were over,aken by extremely cold
weather and then got tangled up in a
blizzard that kept them busy to out
general. 1t happened this way: They
reached the Forty-fve-mile cabin and
after staying all night found the tenn
perature so low they Concluded not TO
start out. 1t was calm and did not
look SO ALFRED cold; but out of doors
it was impossible to keep up the circu-
latlon. 1t was afterward learned that
it touched 70 below at BEETLES that day.
The third day it had moderated sutti-
ciently to allow of a start. and every
thing was lovely till near noon. Then
the blizzard struck with such force
that the trail was lost; in fact, nothing
could be seen and there was no way of
keeping to a course except by the di-
rection of the wind. There was no
timber and the only alternative was to
strike for creek several miles ahead,
where was q cabin, failing to find
which timber and at least some pro-
lection might be had. The wind was
so fierce the dogs attempted to dig into
the snow for safety. But the men per-
sisted, reached the creek, and, hunting
up and down, found the cabin.
So it is that they were enabled to go
on to Arctic City and later to Red
Mountain, whence Mr.. Farrar had
stampeded and whom it was their BUSH
ness to search out and duly summon to
court.
Tho mouth of Red Mountain creek
is IS miles from Arctic City. The
mouth of Indian creek is Is miles up
Red Mountain creek. Indian creek is
where all the gold excitement sprouted.
Messrs. Murphy and Noble reached
the vicinity Feb. 10 and left Feb. Is.
About IS men were transformation
BEETLES, Arctic City, Wiseman and
other Koyukuk points.
No holes had been bedrocked. On
Indian creek a depth of 10 feet had
been attained, with good prospects and
water. On this creek it was reported
rs high as IL cents to the pan had been
PANIED. On Red Mountain creek a
depth of 8 feet had been reached; some
gold, no water. -"@ 49,
There are many creeks flowing from
the great Red Mountain dome. There
has been much stalking, but the coun-
try is big.
And this is all the essentials of the
knowledge of the Red Mountain situa-
ton possessed by anybody on the 18th
of the present month.

SUSPECT "A NIGER
IN THE WOODPILE"

There was rumor in Tanana a day
or so ago that = new strike has been
made in the Iditarod. 1t is said tele-
grams have been sent out booming the
country and declaring there is four
miles of pay.
Returning Iditaroders just arrived
in Tanana assert that before they left
scheme was being ribbed up to in
duce lot of people to go into the
district so that few traders would be
able to dispose of their surplus stock.
The men fresh from the ground are
clearly of the opinion that the BOOM
ing reports are false, and their opinion
of the persons circulating them are
expressed in uncomplimentary terms.

list and oldtimer Of Dawson, now living

take in big outfit in March.

The TENSION OF LIFE
Or. Herbert TiIdsn Gives Talk Esps-
ciaIIy for Young Folks Last Night
at First Baptist Church.

Tension was the subject of an ad-
dress delivered last evening at the
First Baptist church by DIR. Heroetn
Tilden, the pastor. which could have
been heard with profit by every young
man and woman in Fargo, for whom
1t was especially prepared.
There are some metals" said DR..
Tilden, which can be stretched ana
pulled taut and will then stand a
great strain Gold and silver are not
the precious metals Of the world. The
real precious metals are iron and its
modification, steel. The expert takes
a steel wire and strings 1t on the harp
of a piano, and 1t gives out the most
meIodious tone. It stands the strain.
There are some lives that have the
tension of steel. When adversely and
troubles comes they stand the strain.
He then illustrated his point by
showing how Washington and Lincoln,
the two great heroes Of American his
tory. whose birth anniversaries are
both celebrated this month, stooC the
strain. When great troubles, and
seemingly overwhelming difficulties
confronted them they rang true. They
stood the strain.
| DR.. Tilden then played upon ths
word by taking certain derivatives;
Attention, contention, intention and
retention were used in turn TO apply
| to the lives of young people.
1t was a stirring appeal to youni
fpeople to make their lives count ant
contained many practical lessons ant
inspiring ideals.

ACCIDENTS snuff
OUT TWO LIVES

Hibbing, Mimi, Feb. 21.--Two lives
paid the forfeit of accidents near here
and the body Of one lies in the morgue,
while that of the other is in a deep
gully to which a trail must be made
before 1t can be rescued tomorrow.
Nick Perlina, aged %, and single,
met death in the Rust mine last night
as result OF a premature blast, his
body being crushed. Funeral services
were held here this afternoon. A
cousin is the only relative residing in
this country.
Isaac Sernan, aged 40, and a
stranger in this city. was instantly
killed about ten miles north OF the
city while hunting with .22-calibre
rife, which he was carrying as he
slid along on his snowshoes. He acct
dentaliy struck a rift in the snow on
the edge of gully and tumbled into
1t, the rife discharging as he fell and
a bullet passing into his left eye, death
probably being immediate. His body
was discovered some time later.

PENDANT and appellant.
1-Plaintiff brought an actior +or
damages for the conversion of one
half OF the flax raised by him on land
belonging to the defendant under a
written contract, and for the CONVEX
sion OF three-fourths of the oats and
speltz raised by him on land belong
ing to the defendant under an oral
contract. The written contract nro-
yided that the title and possession of
the grain should be in the land-owner
until dividend thereof, and until all
the covenants and agreements to he
performed by the plaintiff had been
fulfilled.
Held: That until the grain raised
undeg the written contract was divided
neither the legal title to nor the right
of possession of any part of said grain
was in the plaintiff, and he could not
maintain an action for conversion.
z-As to whether an action in con
version would lie for the oats and
speltz, is dependant upon the terms OF
the contract under which they were
raised. This was disputed question
OF fact which should have been sub.
mitted to the jury.

ventilation In use among the counties
OF North Dakota. We urge their
general adoption until every Richland
county school Is thus equipped.
Favor More Publicity.
I'VE believe. that valuable impress
sAons are gained at the annual school
officers meetings, and that these
would result in greater practical good
IL reports of each meeting were pub
lished. We advise that each district
contribute from its school fund, 81
annually for each director and clerk
thereof, the money to be paid over to
the secretary of the association, and
expended only by and with the con-
sent of the president and secretary
upon order OF the county superin-
tendent Of schools. Until otherwise
ordered we recommend that such
money be used only in meeting ex-
penses connected with the prepara-
ton Of programmes OF the school Of
ficers' annual meetings, including the
cost of securing speakers, and in the
publication OF reports thereof.
I'VE repeat a recommendation male
at the last annual school officers
meeting OF Richland county, viz, that
each school district appropriate from
it's own funds the sum of $40 to be
distributed as prizes for the best ex-
hibit Of corn and preserved straw
b. rries fom it's own district at the
next Richland county fair, 1t Is point
ed out district thus using $40 is not
sending 1t out OF its own district, for
the money is paid to school children
living therein. On the other hand
they are greatly encouraged bee luse
the school boards prizes are near anil
direct in their application to each
ones particular school district.
For Higher Wages.
1--WE believe that the two great
factors in the improvement of the
country schools are: First, ability
and devotion on the part OF the
teachers, and secondly, practical in
terest among citizens generally in
their own schools. The former may
be enlarged by care in selecting
teachers at the proper time, and pay
ment of higher wages.
Parents associations should de-
velop the later. We believe too that
school children's contests, such as
the corn, strawberry and spelling con-
tests now under way, aid in develop
Ing an interest In the country schools,
both among scholars and parents. We
believe, also that the subjects of study
should be enriched by at least one
lesson per week in elementary asri-
culture NOT as a means of showing
farmers boys how to farm but in
order to arouse and increase in then, a
more intelligent interest in the farm
lie which nine out of ten will follow
In after years for their daily bread.
FURTHER we would welcome the
puollcations of an illustrated annual
report prepared Dy the county Super
lntendent and a committee OF school
officers. We advise the formation of
such board OF publication and re-
spectfully request that the board of
county commissioners appropriate a
fitting sum of money for such pur-
pose"

months sold babe to mourn his loss. A
cousin of his, J. A. Hawkins, living at
7125 Perry avenue, voiced the senti-
ments OF his parents, and two brothers
and sisters, all OF whom are grief
stricken over the appa-ent fate If
their relative.
"a week ago last Monday" he re-
lated, II received a letter from Mrs.
Croghan, inclosed in which was a
picture OF her little SON, Alvin, aged
16 months. She spoke of being happy,
because this was practically the last
sea trip that Johnnie her husband,
would have to make for year. as he
was to be transferred to shore duty at
the Brooklyn navy yards and he would
be able to be at home SO much here
after and play with baby. She told of
receiving a letter from Ter husband
just before his departure from Nor
folk, where the Nina haG towed two
boats from the Brooklyn navy yard.
The missive said that the commander
would arrive at his home in Maiden,
Mass, in two days. As the letter was
written week ago last Sunday night
his wife expected him the following
Tuesday night.
IF her husband has bee:l drowned,
as we fear he has, Mrs. Croghan's ro-
nance Is certainly brought to sudden
ard sad termination. When the two
met, ii was a case OF love at first
sight. Croghan was at lat time COM
mander of the Wasp, which boat was
In the fleet which steamed up the
Mississippi river. When the boats

for the benefit Of the citizens. At the
reception Croghan met Miss Ollie
Thompson and before another month
had elapsed married her."

Hchland County School Officers Adopt
Practical Resolutions for the Betternent
Of Educational Conditions IN North Dakota

Wahpeton. N. d., Feb. s1.-The
ninth annual meeting OF the Rich
land County School cficers' associa-
ton was held last Friday. There was
a good attendance and considerable
enthusiasm shown. The following of
Ulcers were elected for the ensuing
year: President, M. M. Borman, Abb
ercrombie; secretary, G. @. Myhre,
.Colfax. The association voted to hold
a two days session next year. Presi-
dent Worst Of the Agricultural coll
lege and Professor Waldron, also of
the A. c., delivered interesting adj
dresses.
The text of the principal part Of
the platform upon the recommends
ton of the committee on resolutions
follows:
Believing that all good men are
interested In seeing education provid-
ed for all children, and that children
In this age and day of the world have
a right to better schooling than their
fathers, we urge all Richland county
parents to arrange household, farm
and business cares so that no boy
or girl Of school age need be kept out,
excepting from direct poverty, until
he has completed the eighth grade
subjects Of study. We favor the ex-
tension of the actual school year to
at least eight months in the public
schools of the country, and the en-
ployment early in the summer of the
best qualified teachers. We favor
paying good teachers at least $50 per
4. oIN
try school boards adopt a plan fol-
lowed in cities Of offering satisfactory
teachers SIS per month more for each
additional year that they remain in
the district UP to five years.
ITO the end that a large number
of boys and girls secure a good COM
mon school education, we recommend
the formation OF parents associa-
tons whereby citizens shall meet oc-
casionally in their school, learn about
actual conditions, exchange views and
be in position both to value truly and
to support the teacher in all good
work.
Large School Grounds.
1--WE believe that large school
grounds of three to FIVE acres, should
be secured without delay, fenced and
improved by windbreaks on their
north and west sides. Such grounds
should face the east or south.
1--WE advise that other blackboards
be replaced by slate ones as fast as
possible, that such be set low enough
for the convenience of 6-year-old
children, and that they be made to
extend practically all around the
schoolroom. We recommend the pur-
chase hereafter of single desks and
the replacement of double des.As by
single ones as fast as the finances nj
school districts permit 1t.
I'VE urge the employment OF coil
springs or weights upon all Clubhouse
doors, and a proper ceiling OF sucn
buildings, so that with due attention
they may be kept in dry and SAM
tary condition.
I'VE are proud OF Richland county's
rank as having the greatest number
of improved systems OF heating an

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Some Advice Against the uss Of
Harsh Furgatives and
Physics

A doctors first question when con-
suited by patient is, Are your bow
els regular?" He knows that Ss per
cent Of illness is attended with in
active bowels and torpid liver This
condition poisins the system with
waste matter and causes accumula-
tion of gases which must be removed
through the bowels before health can
be restored
Salts, ordinary pills and cathartics
may be truly likened to dynamite.
Through their harsh, irritating action
they force a passage through the bow
els, causing pain and damage to the
delicate intestinal structure which
weakens the whole system, and at best
only produces temporary relie-. The
repeated use of such treatments
causes chronic irritation Of the stom-
ach and bowels, dries and hardens
their tissues, deadens their nerves,
stiffens their muscles and generally
brings about an injurious habit which
sometimes has almost IL not, fatal
results.

edy for constipation and bowel dis
