estal. The reasons why the women
and children should erect a statue to

North Dakotan whose name was en-
rolled on the pages of history.

historic spots in our young and rising
commonwealth.

man to accompany the Lewis and
Clark expedition.

terpreter.

threatened by hostile Indians.

and horses when they we're destitute
of both.

own life.

the party who received no pecuniary
compensation for her services.
Ninth-While enduring hardships
and suffering, she administered to the
necessities of others.
Tenth-She welcomed with intelli-
gent appreciation the civilization of

dian west of the Missouri river
known to embrace Christianity.

GOES ON ELECTION BALLOT
RoIette County to Vote on Changing
County Seat.

By a decision of Judge Templeton
of Grand Forks the proposition of re-
moving the county seat of Rolette
county from Rolla to Rolette will go
on the election ballot this fall. When
the petition of the Rolette people was
placed on file the board of commits
sioners allowed it and ordered the
election held. Subsequently action
was commenced by the people of Rolla
to restrain the county auditor from
calling the election, it being contended
that the action of the commissioners
was void on the ground that the pc.
tition was insufficient and failed to
conform with the law in that it did
not have a great enough number of
signers.

GARRY HERMANN
 TALKS OF TRADE

Cincinnati October 27.-President Au- gust Hermann of the Cincinnati Base ball club was decidedly interested man tonight when he was informed that Pres ident Horace Fogel of the Philadelphia team had asked President Lynch of the National league to warn Mr. Herman mot to tamper'' with the Philadelphia players. MT. Hermann said:
 If Fogel is trying to scare any one he is very liable to be surprised short 1y. inasmuch as I have ordered my ste nographers to ascertain the addresses of Grant, McQuillen, Moren and Bates AS soon as 1 have them I will open ne- gotiations with them with view to sign- ing them for the season 1911. They be- long to the Cincinnati club and I have no doubt whatever but they will play with Us next season.
 When asked as to what action was like ly to result in case Fogel made the fight he promises to bake, President Hermann said:
 T see that some mention of the na- tioh commission has been made. The na- tional commission has nothing to do with this question. I cannot see how it could have. But I do not anticipate any fight when the real facts are known and until some one tries to. claim my players I cannot say what I would do.

Montgomery, October T-(Speclal.)- Johnny Dobbs. as manager of the Mont gomery baseball team, sounds good to fans of this city. His election today was practically unanimous The popular last year manager of the Chattanooga outfit has long been held in the highest esteem in this city, and his election by the di- rectors of the club to guide this city's destinies in the Southern league next year is looked upon as indicative of the fact that the Climber aggregation next year is going to be 'jam-up' in every way.
 Dobbs bringing with him Frank Sparks, ex-National leaguer, and Strang, second baseman, seems to give the aggregation a fair start for next season, in view of the fact that most of the old team has been retained. The purchase of Strang leads to the speculation that Champ Osteen. who broke his leg while playing for the Climbers last season, will not again ap- pear in a Montgomery uniform. It is stated that Osteen has demanded a ma further stated in this connection that the management is not willing to accede to his demands
 Tn all probability effort will be made to retain Thomas, Duggleby and Hick- man in the box. though this is doubtful. Hub Hart will be retained as a catcher Miller having gone to the Atlanta squad
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-10-28

The infelders, with the exception of Der probable that Whiteman and Daley will be retained in the outfield. Manager Dobbs may get a bug, however, to get an entirely new team. This is the ex- pectation of the majority of the fans.
 The election of Dobbs. over Charley Babb is taken to mean that the directors are trying to freshen- up the aggregation as much as possible. Babb has been fight ing in the Southern league much longer than has Dobbs.
 President E. B. Joseph will resign as president of the club at meeting of the week. It is understood that Charley Jones, a son-in-law of Richard Tillis, main owner of the club, will succeed him.
 At the session of the directors of the club representatives of the Business mems league assured the club that 60,- GOO paid admissions would be guaranteed. Usually about 10000 paid admissions are registered every season, the concensus of opinion being that 60,000 paid admis- sions are necessary before the clubs suc- cess can be assured
 In order to guarantee this number the Business Mems league appointed commit tees to go through the city to secure sub scriptions, representation being made that the subscriptions would not be collected unless the number of admissions next season should fall short of 5000. It is thought by the baseball fans of Mont gomery that an ordinarily good year would absolutely assure at least 60,00O.

HARRY DAVIS MAY
 MAN LACE NEXT YEAR

Philadelphia October 27.-As a reward for the faithful service given the American league, eliminating in his having no small hand in winning the championship of the organization and defeating the Chicago Nationals for the worlds title Captain Harry Davis of the Athletics will be made manager of some American league club before the beginning of next season. While the general belief is that two berths are open-Cleveland and St Louis-the theory that Davis will be found at the head of the Cleveland club next season Is most generally accepted. Davis is 37 years of age. a native of Phil adelphia and graduate of Girard col lege. He began playing in 1894 with Prov idence, going from there to Pawtucket the following year and, later in that same season, to the New York Nationals Rheumatism temporarily slowed him up and he was transferred to Pittsblrg in 1896. where he played two years before being sent back to Providence for 1899 and 1900 Davis decided to quit baseball about that time and secured position in Philadelphia. but Connie Mack wanted a first baseman badly and dug him out of his retirement about the middle of the 1901 season. He has been a star at first base both mechanically and mentally for the Athletics ever since.

Ho70ard Prepares
 For TennesseanS

Tomorrow afternoon the teams repre- senting the University of Tennessee and Howard college will tie up at the State Fair grounds in a football contest which promises to be hard fought. The game will start promptly at 3:so o'clock and there will be a special car service to the fair grounds to take care of the crowd which will attend. Special arrangements have also been made to take care of au- tomobiles.
 The first dash of wintry weather of the season promises to make Saturday an ideal football day and one in which foot ball players can extend themselves to the limit. Heretofore this season the games in the south have been played when the weather was more fitted for baseball than football, and the games have neces- sarily been slowed down a bit. Satur- day, however, there will be full 3O-min- ute halves and both teams should be able to deliver all that is in them.
 This has been a week of hard work at both Knoxville and East Lake. Coach Stone of Tennessee has been cheered by the return to the game there of Quarter back Raulston, while Coach Donnelly at East Lake Is smiling all over himself at the return of Guard Gwinn, one of Towards standbys last year. Both teams are reported as being in good physical condition and able to put up fast games.
 Howard Is Improving
 Heretofore, very green, the Howard eleven has been wonderfully improving this week under constant coaching Tackling, the weak point of Howard, and defense against forward passing, another weak point, has been taught them by Donnelly necessarily and some pretty tackling and even prettier defensive work should be shown by the local squad Sat
