ORIGIN OF OUR CALENDAR
Story Of the Year and Its Days, ~
Now Constituted, Told
Once More.

The Julian year consists OF 1854
days and exceeded by II minutes 1895
seconds the solar year OF 365 gays
hours 48 minutes 46 seconds. In son.
sequence of this, the equinox Id the
course of few centuries fell back con-
sidsrably. In the time OF julius Cae
sar, 1t corresponded to March IS.
and by the sixteenth century 1t had
retrogarded to March II. It was at
this time that a physician o. Verona
named Ghiraldi proposed . plan for
amending the calendar. He died be
fore he had opportunity to carry 1t
forward, but his brother presented 1t
to Pope Gregory XIII. who assembled
q number Of learned men to discuss It
1t was passed upon favorably and
adopted. and thus was given to the
world what has since been known as
the Gregoriap calendar. In 1882 Greg
DRY issued brief apolishing the JuliaS7
calendar in all Catholic countries. and
Introducing the reformed one.
The reform OF the Gergorian Ut new
on the Julian or old. consisted In
dropping ten days after October 4.

Immediately after the 4th. Every one
hundredth year. which. by the Odd style
was a leap year, was to be a common
year. the fourth century, Invisible by
four. excepted; that is. 1900 was to re-
main a leap year. but 100. 1900 and
1900 were not to be reckoned as such.
while 1000 was to be reckoned.
In this calendar the length of the
solar year Is taken to be 265 days 5
hours 40 minutes and IL seconds. the
difference between which and the true
length is immaterial.-The Christian

A bold burglar entered the home
Of Capt. Angus Fraser, register Of
deeds Of Cass county, last night and
stole three suits Of clothing besides
demolishing twenty-one glasses OF
fresh jelly.

o'clock this morning by his wife who
Informed him that there was someone
down stairs. He was not fully awake
and Needed her but little. Mrs. Fraser
hearing more noises had him get up
and so down stairs
Entering the dining room he stunt

fell hard, his injuries were not OF a
serious nature. Going into the kitchen
he found where the thief had made his
escape on the run.
This morning when Mrs. Fraser went
into the kitchen she discovered that
twenty-one glasses Of jelly that she had
made yesterday had been thrown out

The police were notified but there
is no clue which can be used to assist

TOOK MONEY PRIZE.

Lieut.. A. F. Collar of Co. 3 Of the
North Dakota national guard return
ed home last evening from Camp
Perry, o., where he has been as q
member Of the rifle team of the North
Dakota guards. He was we'll pleased
with his trip and expressed himself as
being greatly benefited by the ex-
perience at the national shoot.
In talking with representative Of
The Forum. Mr.. Collar said: "The
North Dakota boys did exceptionally
well. They went down there with q
Class rating and shot so well that
they went out Of that class and climb
ed into the Glass B shooters. OF
course getting into higher class we
did not make an extra fine showing
against the older and more experience
ed teams in that division.
I'm Glass c we had no conplaint
to make at all. The Florida. Tonnes
see and Virginia teams had been in
Glass B last year and because they
could not win money there had
| dropped back into Glass c. These
teams were of course fast and their
men were above us In shooting, How
ever we pulled out at the head of the
old teams in the division and landed
the fourth money for the flickertail
state"
John Engrebracht OF Dickinson led
the North Dakota team in SHOOTING

poral Berg of Fargo who went with
the team was an alternate and ala nor
get a chance to shoot for his team
Collar is Of the opinion that the
North Dakota men shot well consio-
ering the conditions. There was .
twenty mile wind blowing across the
field with rain and mud all over the
ground. The mud was so oad tha'
at times when gun would kick, a
soldier would slip and fall flat on sne
ground. He is well pleased with the
night shooting which was UNIQUE
feature Of the camp this year and ex-
poets to try some Of It at the local
range.
The members Of the North Dakota
team did not all return as soon as the
skirmish was over. About six OF the
bows came directly back, Lieutenant
Collar leaving Camp Perry Tuesday
night and arriving home last even
ing.
The results OF the skirmish were
not known at the time the North Da-
kota men came home. as they left Inn
mediateIy after the skirmish was over
and were unable to ascertain wnat
kind of work they did IN that line.

LONG TICKET
CAUSED DELAY
All But Police Appropriation.
Carried in Woodbridge.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

y w ht0
Woodbridge, Nov. 9:-Many COM
ments have been made on the delay
in counting the Woodbridge vote on
Tuesday, election day, as the com
plete result was notsoficially known
until Ii o'clock Wednesday, morning.
The reason for the delay was partly
on account of theaveryf long ticket to
be tabulated, Woodbridge having the
longest ticket in the county, and the
care exercised by the election board
In examining the ballots with an eye
for their legality. The close cleo
tion was another reason given for
the guarded but efficient work of the
tally clerks. The counting in the
second poll was completed at 5
o'clock Wednesday morning, and the
tally completed in the first poll six
hours later.
All the propositions for %appropria-
tions were carried by large majori-
ties except the police appropriation.
Through an error or misunderstood
Ing there we're two police. proposi-
lions on the ballot Tuesday, one cali
ing for an appropriation Of $500
and the other for $4,000. AS a re-
suit there is some. doubt as to the
legality of the result of the election
SO far as 1t applies to this particular
question,
