The state department of education has
just made dates for district teachers in
stitutes as follows; First district, Grove
HILL August Is. Linden, August % Sec.
ond, Atmore, August Is; Andalusia, Au-
gust %. Third, Hartford, August 49,
Enterprise, August q. Fourth. ITALIA
dega, September s. Jacksonville, Septem-
Der II. Fifth, Alexander City, August /
Seventh, Russellville, August l. Fort
Payne, August s. In each case the time
is a week save at Alexander City, two
weeks.
No dates have been decided upon for
the Ninth district. One week will be
given to Birmingham, it is certain, and
the other to some town in either Blount,
Bibb or Perry counties. The work has
already been done in the Sixth and
Eighth districts.
These institutions are very valuable
to the general educational effort The
state gives s13S to a district, and to get
the meetings the towns put up, one week,
SIS; two weeks, $50. This pays the ex-
penses. as the state money must be given
to the lecturers and instructors. All the
towns are glad to make the contribution,
as 1t brings the teachers to them and
gives for the time a renewed interest
in school matters. Under the old law
only $500 was given by the state. with the
provision that it would be available If a
like amount was given by the Peebody
board. Now the state gives $1,000 with no
strings tied to it under an act of the 1907
legislature.
The conductors named this year are
as follows: First district. F. S. Pugh, J.
W. Watson; Second, C. L. McCartha, J.
E. Hendley; Third, j. v. Brown, w. R.

Crops Are Hurt

Commissioner of Agriculture J. A.. Will
kinson is making inquiries in every direc-
ton on the extent of the damage to
crops of the heavy rain Sunday morning.
Fortunately, it appears to have been To-
cal. pretty we'll confined to the environs
of Montgomery. Here, however, the In
jury was extensive, washing and beat
ing having brought about large losses in
the prospect of the crops.
Cotton suffers much more than other
crops from rain Of this kind. Not only
are the rows washed and the soil moved
away but the blooms that are on are
knocked off. With the taking away Of
the soil the plant is left unprotected and
much of its life-giving source destroyed.
Already behind and having had q fight
for life from the first, such jolts as this
will run the cotton crop Of the county
down low Corn is large and has suf-
fered little injury.

MEAT P2|CES AT NEW
YORK AGAIN RISING
Present C2-t Above That Of
Some Weeks Ago.

New York, Feb. 9.-Meat prices are
higher than ever in this city Dropping
for time while the agitation for
elimination Of meat from the diet was
fresh, the quotations, both wholesale
and retail, have amounted to figures
equal to and in some cases above
those prevailing before the movement
began. Indications are, prominent
dealers say, that still higher prices are
coming.
Increase in demand accounts for
some of the tendency to advance. The
retailers attribute this increase to the
cold weather Shortened supplies are
believed by the wholesalers to have
more to do with it than anything else.
The dealers are congratulating them
selves in the belief that the agitation
has blown up. 1.-The furry of talk
that seemed to be stirring up trouble
a while ago is over now and things
are going ahead just the same" said
one of them.
Investigation of cold storage con-
ditions with resulting remedy of al.
legged evils, which worked to keep
prices up, is the chief remaining re-
lance of the agitators for lower prices
This movement is still in full force in

STOCKWELL MUST RE-
FUND TO THE STATE
FEES TAKEN AS PART OF HIS
SALARY. CASE DECIDED
AGAINST HIM.

Grand Forks, February THE
celebrated case of the state against
State Superintendent Stockwell to re-
cover fees which he appropriated to
his own use has been decided in the
district court against Stockwell. The
case was tried at Grand Forks, the
state being represented by Attorney
General Miller. Judge Templeton
handed down the decision. The state
sought to recover about $4,000, which
covered the amount of fees the de-
fendant had appropriated as part of
his salary. The state brought suit
against Stockwell, claiming that a
state officer had no right to use fees
that came into his Office as part of
salary.
Judge Templeton held that sec
ton "a of the North Dakota state
constitution was self executing. Aft
ter fixing the salaries of the various
state officials, the section says:
But the salaries of any of the
said officers shall not be increased or
diminished during the period for
which they shall have been elected
and all fees and profits arising from
any of the said offices shall be COW
cred into the state treasury"
The case has attracted great inter-
est.

The Proposed Fish Hatchery Bill In,
trOduced in Congress.

trOUuccU In congress-.
Mayor Blewett who took up the
matter Of endeavoring to secure a
fish hatchery for jamestown, sug-
gested by the provisions of a bill re-
ported in the senate has received
from Congressman Hanna of Wash
ington, a letter in regard to the mat
ter. Congressman Hanna states that
he believes such bill has very little
chance of passing. the house at this
time. He adds:
Thursday last, went before the
house committee on fisheries and
found that some forty bills had been
introduced establishing fish hatcher
les all over the United States. Should
these bills pass, it would require the.
expenditure Of about a million of.
dollars. Owing to the deficit in the
national treasury, it was thought
best to hold these bills up for a time,
so l was informed by the committee.
and they do not believe it would be
possible to get bill of this kind
thru at this session of congress-"

Albert Dittmer is proving a good

not all, and is now expected that
in about two weeks all the machines
will be in running order and in use
There are grinders, mixers, heaters,
furnaces, purifiers, conveyors, bri-
quetters and other contraptions with
'ers' after them, and apparatus for
making something out of the by
products OF the gas plant. The prin-.
cipal by-products will be coal-tarr

LAKOTA BANK FAILURE.

The shortage in the Peoples State
bank at Lakota is now said to be-
between 100000 and $4,000, and
1t is stated that the creditors will get
about rs cents on the dollar. High
living and reckless expenditure by
the cashier, S. +. Floren, is given as
the cause of the failure. The illness
of the president, f. H. Raiders, who
has been unable to attend to business
the past four months, has given the
cashier full swing. The president
1t is said, will be left penniless by
the failure. 1t is the third bank
failure in Lakota.

BIG GAME TAME
IN AFRICA
BOICE, THE CHICAGO PUBLISH.
Err, TELLS OF A HUNTERS
PARADISE WILD AMI
MAILS STOP TRAINS

r. N. Stevens has recently return
ed to Bismarck from trip to Chica-
go where he spent few days with
Publisher Boice, of the Chicago Led
ger and Blade. Mr.. Boice has recent
ly returned from a trip to Africa
where he went with the object of see
ing the country and possibly using a
balloon for exploration work. He or
ganized a large expedition and Sc
cured the services of 800 negroes as
laborers, pack men, guides, etc.
The stories of the abundance of
wild game in Eastern Africa, are not
exaggerated, as the animals are most
ly hunted by natives who have moth
ing but spears and poisoned arrows
and the animals are not frightened
by the sound of guns. 1t costs about
$3.50 for a hunters license and few
whites hunt the big game Of that
tropical region with guns. The coun-
try is so extensive that the game
is fearless and in making a railway
journey in the interior, Mr.. Boice's
train was stopped twice by the abun-
dance of wild animals of various
kinds that got on the track. In
looking from an eminence over the
surrounding country, Mr.. Boice re-
ported over 1000 head of wild ami
mails seen through a field glass. He
visited Lake Nyanza, and made some
what the same trip that Roosevelt is
making.

church was filled with an interested
audience who met to listen to the
second w. C. T. U. declamatory con-
test. Mrs. Watson was i'll and could
not sing and Miss June Banford kind
ly gave an instrumental selection.
The third speaker, Augusta Nc
Leod, was i'll also, and the fourth was
unprepared. Special permission had
to be obtained from our state supt.
of contest work to award the medal
as one of the rules is, that there must
be six contestants.
Cassius Vessey, Andy Allen, Grace
Meeker, 8. w. Mattson and G. c.
Coker were the contestants in order
named. Each rendered his selection
in a mastery way. The judges, Mrs.
Jas. Campbell, Rev. Simon and Geo
Conn awarded the first prize to C.
c. Coker, Cassius Vessey being a
close second and Grace Meeker third.
Mrs. Fred Wanner, local presi-
dent of the w. c. T. u, presided and
in presenting the medal and souven-
ir pins said, ''The principal object of
these contests is to spread the tenn
perance message and that even to
the contestants, the medal, while de-
sirable, is not the main object. They
had given us a delightful evening,
helped spread the temperance gospel
and had Individually been much bene-
fitted by the drill, while studying
their selections.
Miss Ethel Barker delighted the
audience with a violin solo, and c.
S. Bucks vocal solo was very much
enjoyed. Miss Williams favored the
audience with a monologue and the
hearty applause which she received
showed her a favorite as an enter
tainer.
The ladies of the union wish to
cordially thank the contestants and
trust that each one will try until they
have won silver medal and then a
gold one. We wish also to thank
those who so ably assisted us with the
program and our editors for their
generous advertising.

information regarding prices and the
proper time to turn the birds out. A
part of the birds will be given their
liberty along the Mouse river, and

to breed. The birds are very hardy
and multiply rapidly, and within the
course of few years short season
