consist of papers by various members
On subjects OF practical interest. the
idea that the Academy Of Science Is
composed only of the science teachers
of the state has gained some credence'
but is erroneous. as every man en-
gagged in wClk along scientific lines Is
eligible for membership.
The purpose of the academy is t.
in general way help the state by
the findings of the association ana
members in practical scientific re-
search. To bring the science men to-
gether socially Is also another pur-
pose of the organization. Up to the
present time there has been no APP
preparation made by the state for the
publication of the findings of the
academy along scientific lines, but It
iE expected that the Importance of the
organization will receive recognition
ut the next session of the legislature
The North Dakota Acamedy Of Sci
ence was organized two years ago
and now has membership of fifty,
with the membership increasing with
every meeting. The officers are:
President, Professor Waldron of the
agricultural college; vice president,
Prof. Lynn B. McMullen Of the Valley
City normal school; secretary and
treasurer. Prof. G. A. Abbott of the

| SETTLERS NOT
ALLOWED CREDIT

WILL NOT BE ACCREDITED
RESIDENCE.

Washington, April S.--Holding in eff
feet that credit for residence should
not be allowed during the time that
the land is not subject to entry BY
the person maintaining such residence,
Secretary Fisher of the interior depart
ment today vetoed Representative
Morgan's contention that a settler
should be allowed credit for residence
maintained on land prior to the can
collation. OF the entry covering the
land especially where such residence
was maintained by those who are
prosecuting contests against entries Of
record
Secretary Fisher cites a recent de-
clsion Of the circuit court of the eighth
district circuit, wherein 1t was held
that a homestead entryman cannot
lawfully be accorded credit for resi-
dence by reason of occupancy of lands
during the time prior to his entry, and
while such lands are embraced in the
pre- existing entry Of another person
1t Is admitted that the rule has not
been strictly applied in the past but
instructions are made that in the
future that North Dakotans and 9TH
ers should expect strict enforcement of
the law.
Representative Morgan's plan to
seek remedial legislation from congress
also is tabooed, Such law would un
questionably be difficult of administra-
ton and would result in endless con-
fusion and ligitation,' says the secre-
tary,

SLEW SELF WHILE
HE WAS DESPONDENT
OTTO oHLIN ENDED HIS LIFE AT
LONELY SPOT ON PUBLIC
ROAD NEAR LANkIN.

Lankin, N. D., April S.-otto ohlln,
a recent arrival from the Minnesota
woods, committed suicide near Lankin
by cutting his throat and wrists with
"a piece of glass from bottle, which
wounds caused his death.
The place which the suicide chose
to end his existence was spot on the
public road two miles south of Ian
kin. His body was found partly sub
merged in water in the roadside ditch,
where he had apparently cravled in
his last agonies. Nearby was a sharp
piece of glass which bore the grue-
some evidence of its recent use.
The body was brought to Lanlin and
Coroner Dave Johnson summoned TO
hold an inquest. At the hearing it
developed that the deceased had been
excessively addicted to the use OF Ii
quor since his arrival in Lankin and
had at times acted little queer"
The verdict Of the jury was that he
came to his death by his own hand
in a fit of dependency
No relatives Of the deceased could
Ibe located He was about 80 years of
age, and last year had worked on the
Drake farm near Lankim leaving for
the lumber camps in the fall.

TOLD AROMANTIC TALE
Prolonged Spree Led North Dakotan to
Think He Had Captured a Des-
perate Criminal.

Beach Chronicles: Michael Romstad,
an employee in the Schulz lumber yard
for the past nine months, caused con-
siderable commotion in the city last
Saturday. He imagined he was a
United States marshal and made a
daring arrest, after narrow escape
from death, by a criminal, who was
wanted by the government for the
past fifteen years. AS a matter of
fact, he was only having a strenuous
time with old John Barley Corn, but
this was not generally known until a
good many of our townspeople were
taken in" and had shaken the hand
of the booze-made marshal as a real
hero.
1t seems that Romstad had been
taking too freely of North Dakota's
forbidden liquid and commenced to
see things" Some time during a
spree Friday night and Saturday morn
ing his head had evidently connected
with the sidewalk or some other OBJ
stacle, giving him the appearance of
having been in "set to" of some kind,
which aided him in making his mag
mary story sound good.
Here is the story as given The
Chronicle man, who was about to send
sensational story of the capture to
the Associated Press, before he realized
that he had been easy:
Romstad. according to his delirium
was a U. s. marshal from St Paul
Mimi, who came to Beach last June
in search of one Ole Nelson who had
robbed the postoffice at Benson, Mimi,
fifteen years ago. He had heard Nell
son was in the neighborhood, and, to
conceal his official capacity he
procured employment in the Schulz
lumber yard, and in this way hoped
to learn Of his mans whereabouts
| Nelson, however, had suspicioned
| Romstad's purpose and wanted to do
away with him, and on the morning of
March 25, gained admittance to Rom
stad's room over the Wisconsin cafe
and, with a knife foot long. or long
/ er, had a terrible encounter, with the
| result that Marshal Romstad over
came his antagonist and placed him
under arrest
All the details Of such an encounter
were cited iii detail by Romstad to his
| numerous and awe stricken listeners
who repeated the story, and thus IL
reached abnormal proportions before
| it busted in myth.
] Romstad gave all the details of the
affair to The Chronicle man in person
while our contemporary, The Advance
sent reporter posthaste to interview
Mr.. Schulz as to the capture of the
long wanted postoffice robber.
In the meantime, Mr.. Romstad came
to and i Er fGI parts unknown, while
I Ole Nelson. the imaginary criminal
was never seen and never will be, by
anyone.
Such is the history of Michael
Romstad's exciting experience with
John Barley Corn and his exit from
Beach after nine months faithful serv-
Ice in the Schulz lumber yard.

KENMARE SOLID
AGAINST PACT

Kenmare, n. D., April "a mass
meeting of several hundred farmers
was held at Kenmare Saturday at 2
p. M, at which the reciprocity or trade
agreement with Canada was freely
discussed. j. A. Englund was elected
chairman and Alfred Johnson secre-
tary.
The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The proposed reciprocity
or trade agreement with Canada. in
our opinion, is against the best inter-
ests Of this state and the farming in
terests of the whole United States. as
1t will If enacted into law benefit only
the railroads and other large corpor-
ate interests; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we select a commit
tee to represent US at the state con-
vention to be held at Grand Forks
April 4, with instructions to do every,
thing possible against said reciprocity
agreement in the way of passing reso-
lutions and sending a delegation to
Washington; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of this reso
luton be delivered by our delegation
together with our petition of protest
to the state convention at Grand Forks
and sent to each of our congressman
and senators at Washington.
The sentiment was unanimously
against reciprocity there being no ar
gument offered for it, and three dele
gates, ]. A. Englund, S. P Nelson and
F. L. Sanders, were elected to attend
the state convention at Grand Forks
with instructions to use their influence
against the so-called reciprocity.

INTERESTING YEAR
At '. c. NORMAL

Valley City, N. d.. April 3.-The
term Of school just closed was nota-
Bile one at the state normal at Valley
City. There have been a large num-
Der of especially fine public pro-
grammes, which the students and citi-
zens have patronized exceedingly we'll.
Among there. those of last month
furnished a typical illustration. In
the space of one week occurred the
farmers convention. the rural life con-
vention, the teachers institute, and
series Of six lectures on great themes
by Dr. Luther Freeman of Morning
side college, Sioux City, Ia, Through
the generosity of Mr. Hazlett, one OF
Valley City's public spirited men, a
similar course is given here every
year under the, auspices of Wesley
normal.
During the one week referred to,
addresses We're given by such repre-
sentative men and women as the fol-
lowing. besides several members of
the normal faculty; President Elliott
Of the Northern Pacific rilway, Pro-
fessor Shaw of Minnesota, DR.. Clark
w. Hetherington of Chicago, Mrs. Nell
Jean McNaughton Stevens of Towner,
DIR. E. p Robertson, and DR.. j. M. Gill
lette, Grand Forks. The student does
not exist who can make his school home
in Valley City for year or even a
term without deriving great profit
from it.
These public affairs have not meant
that classroom work has been neg
lected On the contrary, the scholas-
tic work of the institution though al
ways of a high quality. has been even
more efficient and more interesting
than before. The work of the various
student organizations. including the
literary and debating societies, gIes
clubs. and the orchestra and band, has
shown up to better advantage than
ever before
The good things Of next term prom
Use to even surpass those OF the last
School work will begin April 4. From
then on, students may look forward
to such things as the appearance of
the Grand Forks symphony orchestra
with Mrs. O'Haras as soloist, the great
ehildrens play festival, the first and
only one Of its kind organized in the
state, lecture by Judge Ben Lindsey
Of Denver the May musical festival
