We greet you with hearty hail,
A welcome of the best;
We bring fond hopes Of friendly deeds
And that you'll do the rest.
We usher in your coming reign
With fealty and cheer,
And heart to heart, give royal start
To you, our glad New Year
What are you bringing unto US,
This welcome to return?
What's hidden in your secret hands,
Fate fortunate or stern!
What are the words of destiny
You'll speak for us to hear?
oh. bring you good or bring you i'll.
AS on you go. New Year?
You will not speak-the secrets safe
Your lips are firmly sealed,
And not on threshold of your reign.
Are they to be revealed.
Yet will you not, to human will
A plant friend, appear.
And let us shape some part of you.
oh. promising New Year?

PERSIAN TREASURER GENERAL

One of the most remarkable situa-
lions in history is happening In the
case of the young American, William
Morgan Shuster, who, as treasurer
general of the Persian empire, has
been besting the keenest diplomats OF
Europe for the past six months. This
young man is only thirty-four' years
old and he started life as a. Ste
nographer.
This youngster, who has one OF the
biggest contracts in the world on. his
hands, was born in Washington, ID! O.,
in 1877. His parents live there still.
After his graduation from Columbia,
Shuster obtained position as ste
nographer in the war department at
Washington. When the Spanish war
broke out he was made assistant sec
rotary OF the commission that had
charge Of the evacuation of Cuba. He
was then only twenty-one. Shuster
remained in the Cuban customs serv-
ice three years, and when he got
through was special deputy collector

necessary to remember that in re-

that the Devils Lake autoists awaken

the prize offered by the Commercial

however, to the pick and shovel, prim-
alive methods of road building, they
were additionally euippcd with Farm
Motor and four drags, which double
dragged twenty miles of road in TWEEN

were showerel by the visitors upon the
Ramsey county roads and it is almost
4 surety that the handsome flag offer
ed by the Commercial club will soon
fly from the staff on the local court
house.
The success of the autoists in road
building should be an object lesson all
through the state and it is to be hoped
that the day will soon come when the
counties will be authorized to purchase

prize of 500 to the county sending the

REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE JOINT
DRAINAGE BOARD AND WILL
NOT ISSUE BONDS.

Botineau, N. D., July 24.-New COM
plications have arisen in the matter of
the Mouse river drainage ditch. Nc
Henry county commissioners have re-
fused to recognize the joint board OF
drainage commissioners for Bottineau
and McHenry counties as valid board,
and also make claim that the levy made
by the joint board is unconstitutional,
and have refused to adopt the levy or
issue bonds.
1t is only another play on the part
Of those opposed to the ditch project
and will not cause serious delay as it
is understood man1amus proceedings
will be had to compel adoption of the
levy and issuance of bonds.
McHenry county has a queer COM
plication i'll matters of drainage com
missioners. Three commissioners were
appointed less than two years ago and
since then three others, one being Free
man, a member of the legislature and
one Of the opponents of the drainage
project. His appointment is invalid
and others are believed to be of no eff
feet as there is nothing to show whom
they succeed.
The old commissioners have acted
with Bottineau county board in MAX
ing the levy and fixing AIcHenry IS
share of the bond issue at $36,3o9O9.
The contract has been let for the ditch

WOMAN CALLS TO VIEW BODY OF
HER FORMER sPousE-HAs
SAD STORY.

Fargo, N. D., July PA story of
the heart was told early yesterday at
ternoon beside the dead body of Cliff
ford 7. Terry in the Lugcr morgue.
Terry, it will be remembered, died
at the county hospital early Saturday
morning of a. complication of diseases,
having been placed in that institution
on the "Wednesday preceding. He had
been boarding for several years at the
Tweelen hotel on N. P. avenue, but
positively refused to tell much about
himself and the officials have been en-
dcavoring to locate some of his rcla-
tvs.
Early this week young lady whose
stage name is Pearl-Terry arrived in
Fargo with her little boy. She saw
the notice of the death of Terry and
as she had story of her own she re-
mcmbered that away back in Iowa she
had been united in marriage with one
c. T. Terry by name.
In company with friend she went
TO the morgue and while the body had
fallen away to a great extent, she rec
ognized it as, that OF her former hus-
band.
Mrs. Terry and the deceased were
united in marriage at Fort Madison,
Iowa, in 1902, and they lived happily
together for four or five years, when
she was compelled to leave him on ac-
count of his habits.
Having little one to support she
studied for the stage and has become
prominent in theatrical work. She is
on one of the western circuits and has
been sent farther west. Having a
week s lay off she was pleased with the
appearance Of Fargo and decided to
stay here.
She stated that her husband s faith
er was G. 7. Terry and that he had
moved from Iowa to Ogden, Utah, and
that he was we'll to do When she loved
and married the dead man he was one
of the most respected citizens Of that
locality and his sad end greatly affect
ed Mrs. Terry.
She is handsome little woman and
appeared to feel deeply the sad ending
of her former husband. She will leave
in a few days for western tour.
In the meantime an effort is being
made by the city authorities to locate
the parents of Mr.. Terry and tele-
gram has been sent by Undertaken
Daugherty to Ogden in the hope Of To-
eating them there.
