The absence of a dividing line-or
what do you call it Mr.. Editor-last
week between our school items and a
comment on the Judge Cowan lmpeach-
ment case in the Courier Democrat
made 1T look like our school correspon-
dent was the writer OF that item. This
matter has been quite thoroughly dis
cussed at school by said correspondent
and others. but he disclaims having
given out any interview for publication
however.
The school entertainment came off as
announced last Friday evening ano
was a success from every point of view.
The hall was packed to its capacity and
each and every pupil acquitted them
selves in a manner that won the
sympathy and hearty applause of their
hearers. The temperance song by
fifteen boys was one of the features and
we will assert without fear of con-
tradiction that no, where in the county
can such a chorus of voices attending
one school be found among the boys.
We are informed that an eye specialist

see herd Of buffaloes two miles long

National Bison society, which num-
bers conservationists among its men,

and hundreds Of others, is bringing
in by freight upon the very old stamp
ing grounds Of the buffalo few last
domesticated representatives of the
former mighty herds of the plains
and is placing them there in a park
as curiosity.
The last great slaughter Of the
buffaloes in Montana and North. Da-
kota happened in the years following
the building Of the Northern Pacific
railway. The first trains over the line
were crowded with hunters. Slaugh-
ter, not sport, followed and the buff
faloes were shot down by the tens of
thousands. Buffalo hide shipping sta
lions sprang up along the route. Com
panies were formed which sent scores
of men and teams out over the plains
to bring in the hides and bones. Often
these were shipped east by the train
load and men made fortunes from the

vote Of 81 to o.
There was only one house bill
placed on its final reading, which was
house bill No. 9, relating to the issu-
ance of marriage licenses. The final
action Of the measure was laid over
until today on motion Of Senator Nc
Dowell, who did not feel he could
support the bill until he more thor
oughly understood its provisions.
Senator Gilbert favored it's adoption,
but the senator from 1yaMoure county
felt. under his present conception Of
it's provisions, that it tended to
loosen the marriage possibility for
minors. He felt that marriage was
too sacred a relation to permit it's be-
ing INDUCED in lightly. There was
no objection to his motion to lay it
over for one day.
Bill Passed Under Suspension.
Under suspension of the rules and
on motion Of Senator Davis of Sheri-
dan county, senate bill No. 224, hav-
ing to do with the fees Of the secre-

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. S.-Uninter-
esting sessions In both houses mark
ed the opening day after recess. A
few over a quorum we're present in
each. Two important communica-
tions from citizens Of the state were
received in the senate. One had q
number Of signers and urged the
passage Of the bill proposing the
amendment Of the state constitution
which advocated woman suffrage.
The other important communica-
ton came from q number of petition
ers residing in Bottineau county ask
ing for the support Of the legislature
to- defeat a certain bill which the
signers had understood had been
framed and was soon to be presented
which would take away the right of
the Christian Scientists Of the state
and bar their doctors from practice
In North Dakota. The petition stated
that as citizens Of the United States
and Of this commonwealth, followers
Of that cult had the right to exist
and practice healing the sick.
Another communication read in
both houses was signed by a large
number of business men in the east
ern part Of the state urging opposi-
ton to H. B. No. 46, which they
claimed, II passed, would he detri-
mental to their interests and general
business and the agricultural inter-
ests Of the state. Claim was made
that passage OF the measure would
greatly reduce free and open compe-
titton in the purchase Of agricultural
products. H. b. No. 46, is the Dean
bill providing for the unfair discrim-
ination in purchase Of grain, dairy
products or other commodities.
