IN SCHOOLS
EFFORT IS MADE TO FORCE SIG.
NATURES OF STUDENTS IN
SUPPORT OF sUPT.

Petitions and counter petitions have
become so popular in the past ten
days that they have even found their
way into the schools, where on Tuesday
an attempt was made to secure tn
signatures of the students endorsing
the superintendent, who has been mott,
fed by the board that his services will
not be needed next year, The peti.
tions were evidently started by inter.
estcd members Of the faculty and were
accorded goodly number of names un.
til after the noon recess, when requests
began to come in for their removal
The pleas were granted and the suppl.
cant complimented upon his or her
courage but were informed by the sup,
erintendent that they would be ere.
membered." The incident has caused
no little comment among the parents
in the city.

1t is generally understood that anna
teurs have an easier time in making
good' than professionals. This is not
SO by any means. The amateur is
known to most of his audience, and i.
order to create his character must first
overcome his identity. The profession
al has no identity as a rule, so far as
his audience is concerned, except the
character he portrays. The O'Calli-
ghans generally succeed in getting good
make-ups" and this assists material
ly in the elimination of one g own self.
Besides this many Of the local COM
pany have been in the business ten or
twelve years and their experience is Of
great benefit to the newer people.

ATTEMPT BEING MADE TO Sc
CURE PARDON FOR DAN MA
LoNEY WHO is IN PRISON.
MURDERED Devils Lake MAN
LITER IN STATE PENITENTIARY
NOW CLAIMS INNOCENsE WITH
STRONG EVIDENCE.

If the efforts of Attorney T. r.
Mockler of Bismarck are successful,
Dan Maloney, well known character
in this city who is at present serving
life sentence in the state penitentiary
for the murder of Nicholas Nachtsheim,
will be free man.
Attorney Mochlcr was in tile city
on Tuesday securing opinions from the
men who were interested in the case
at the time Of the murder, eight years
ago.
Undoubtedly the facts in connection
with the crime have slipped the minds
of many of even the old timers. Nacht-
sheim, whom it was alleged was indulg-
ing the unlawful sale of whiskey ON or
near the Chautauqua grounds, was re-
ported to have concealed about his
shack a large sum of money and when
he was found to be missing one morn
ing an immediate suspicion Of robbery
was aroused. Evidences of the crime,
however, were not discovered for three
days, when the attention of Herman
Rutten, at that time sheriff of the coun-
ty, was called to stencil arising from
the floor of the home of the victim. An
investigation disclosed the body of the
murdered man, with his head complete
ly severed from the trunk. Maloney
had been in suspicious company for sew
cral days prior to that time and in
| drunken conversation displayed some
/ knowledge of the crime. He was tried,
convicted and sentenced to life i'm
prisonment in the state penitentiary.
/ Since his term started Malone, has
been model prisoner. He is cn1rust-
ed with the care of the Gow.,: beds,
bears an excellent reputation among
the authorities and is now strong in
his protestations Of innocence. Penn
sylvania relatives, reputed to he veal
thy, have offered to care for Mr.. Ma
loney should he be released from the
penitentiary.
81 really believe" said one of the
old timers in the city who had more or
less to do with the trial, in coaversa-
tion with World representative" that
Maloney is innocent. He was convict
cd on mainly circumstantial evidence
and his case was not properly handled.
Circumstances were against him, and if
the reports from the penitentiary are
true I am in favor Of giving him his
liberty. Maloney is now over fifty
years of age and has been sufficiently
punished.
An application will be made by Atty.
Mockler before the Board of Pardons,
backed by recommendations from local
officials and citizens

M'CURREN CALLS BLUFF
CRARY wRREsTLER WILLING TO
POST FORFEIT IN HANDICAP
MATCH WITH HAUGE.

Despite the fact that he lost in a
straight match with Hauge, P. H. Nc
Gurren Of Crary is willing to post a
forfeit that Hauge cannot throw him
twice in one hour.
It was admitted by those who wit
messed the match in this, city last week
that had McGurren wanted to "stall"
he could have dragged out the match
for some time longer but he at all times
displayed willingness to mix that was
in measure responsible for his defeat.
In a handicap match the local sports
would undoubtedly be willing to back
McGurren to the limit and their judg-
ment would be wise.

WANTS BETTER SERVICE
NEVILLE JOURNAL COMPLAINS
REGARDING SERVICE TO THEIR
TOWN FROM THE WEST.

Complaints are to be lodged with the
Railroad Commissioners by the resi-
dents of the towns along the line run
ming south from this city according tc
reports on the grounds that prompt
connections cannot be made in this
city.
The Neville Journal says: Gone
thing the commercial clubs or citizens
along this line of the Great Northern
should look into and see if there could
not be some remedy afforded, and that
is the poor train connections at Devils
Lake for passengers arriving from the
west. 1t is long needed remedy. Peo
pie, who arrive from the west in the
afternoon, are compelled to remain al
the Lake nearly twenty-four hours
waiting the departure of 1876 the next
afternoon. The connections to and
from Lakota and Grand Forks or going
west to Minot are all that could be ask
ed for, but not so for the public com
ing from the Minot way. A person ar
irving from the west Saturday after
noon is delayed until the following
Monday. Another thing we need
in the line Of train service along this
route, while we are on this subject, is
that of Sunday local passenger train
and we believe that with little eff
fort cxerted on the part of the right
citizens, we would be able to secure
passenger service on this line for Sun
day travel. Anyone desiring to leave
for the east after 1876 leaves Saturday
has no way of doing so until the fol
lowing Monday afternoon, unless they
drive across the country some twenty
five miles to another line. Many times
have people received urgent calls on ac
count CT sickness or death, and because
of disagreeable weather or bad roads
have lad to wait over 4S hours fol
train service. This is only matter Of
suggestion on our part to our neigh
boring towns and something for the
commercial clubs to consider.

H. 2. Mitchell attended the meeting at
Fargo last Saturday night and extend

an especially fine social session having
been arranged for their benefit.
So far as can be told now, the fol-
lowing program will be carried out:
Upon the arrival of the special train
from Grand Forks, carrying with it
special cars from Crookston and Fargo,
the first parade will start for the opera
house through the main streets of the
city, headed by the Devils Lake band.
The actual work Of institution will not
start until after the arrival of the wes-
tern lodges, which will probably be on
No. 6. Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler
Addison Leach, Deputy Grand Secre-
tary Sam Crabbe, Deputy Grand Es-
quire Frank Kent and the working
team from Grand Forks lodge will prob.
ably arrive on Friday night, SO that
everything will be in readiness for the
ceremonies. The preliminary work OF
forming the new lodge will be carried
through in the afternoon and the actual
initiation will be started promptly in
the evning. Following this social ses
sion will be held in the opera house
closing with suitable supper.
The special trains will return early
Sunday morning. The souvenirs, pro
grams, posters, banners, and details o1
all kinds have been placed in the hands
of committees who report splendid pro
gress.
Feb. 25th will be a gala day for Dew
lis Lake and for the Elks Of North Da

missionaries in that quarter, says

There was one youngster in the
audience, lad Of twelve, who had
been brought to the meeting by his
father. 1t was with considerable sur
prise and qualification that the mis-
sionary observed, when his dis
course had been finished and he had
asked whether anyone had any ques-

youngster evinced a disposition to
make an inquiry.
