It is claimed that in another ten
years all landofices may be closed
in this state. One may still be in
existence:but there will be very
little land left for homestead pur-

work to be done. It is thought the
Devils Lake Office will be the first
to close.

ROY ROBBINS SAID
He WAS ROBBED
NAN CLAIMS THAT HE WAS ROB.
BED AND GEORGE STEVENS
AND WILLIAM MCCLURE WERE
CHARGED WITH THE CRIME
ANOTHER HoLp.uP.

About midnight last night George
Stevens and William Mcclure were ar
rested in Moorhead and brought to
Fargo, charged with robbery from the
person Of one Roy Robbins.
According to the story OF Robbins,
ne had been in Moorhead and was
drinking some Knowing that he was
liable to lose his money II he went on
the street he gave SIS OF tt to q Moor
head saloonkeeper TO keep tor him. He
then went out and after time came
over on this side Of the river.
AT First avenue he turned down the
street and had proceeded but a short
way when he was accosted by two men
One OF the men struck him over the
eye and ordered him not to make a
noise after he had yelled once. The
highwaymen went through his pockets.
taking a dollar and some change and
several trfnkets as well as robbins
purse. They then knocked him down
and left him there.
The night Waterman at the Fargo
foundry stated that about the time of
the robbery he saw two men running
towards Moorhead.
The two men arrested in Moorhead
were locked up, and after an examine
ton by States Attorney Fowler no
warrant was issued for their arrest.
The states attorney did not believe
that the officials had a case against the
two men.
Robbins was taken back to the scene
OF the trouble, and a short distance
from the hold-up were found a number
of his belongings, which We're left there
by the men who committed the rob-
berry.
John Careful appeared in the police
court this morning on the charge Of
drunkenness. His eye was swollen shut
and he had great blotches of blood ali
over his clothing. He also claimed
that he had been robbed last night, but
whether in Moorhead or Fargo he did
not know. He also gave a name OF
John Wiedman and stated that the
name Of Careful was mistake.
John Hanson In the court this morn
ing was fined IS for being drunk, which
he paid.
Stevens and Mcclure will probably
answer the charge Of vagrancy In the
police court.

INDOOR CARNIVAL
FOR OPENING WEEK
SONS AND DAUGHTERS or NOR
WAY WILL HOLD BIG SIX DAY
CELEBRATION OPENING WEEK
OF NEW LODGE BUILDING ON
BROADWAY,

To properly celebrate the formal
opening of the new lodge building OF
the Sons of Norway on North Broad
way, an indoor carnival lasting six
days will be given from about Nov. 9
to II, the time when the handsome
new structure will be thrown open to
the public.
This is an event which was an
nounced today and which will be given
and managed by the Sons and Daugh-
tiers of Norway, under the auspices of
a joint committee from the two or
ganizattons 1t lis expected that every
effort will be made to I'M Ike this car
rival one of the biggest and best
things OF its kind ever attempted in
the city of Fargo.
The committee in charge, the per-
sonnet of which has yet to be an
nounced, will endeavor to arrange for
the appearance OF some prominent
speakers during the week, a different
orator to be heard each evening. This
will furnish much diversion in the way
of entertainment and will tend to
draw large numbers to the carnival
each night while the jubilee continues.
One of the big features of the Sons
of Norway building carnival will be
the kappistova, or restaurant that will
be conducted during the week. The
national Norwegian dishes will be
served and there will be music Of a
high order rendered each day that
will draw a large attendance.

MEMS ACTIVITIES
AT The NORMAL
MEN STUDENTS AND MEN OF
FACULTY GUESTS OF PREsI-
DENT WELD LAST NIGHT,
THREE ADDRESSES ALONG
PRACTICAL LINES.

The first Of series OF meetings, In.
tended to be held at different homes
for the faculty and men attending the
normal this year, was held. last night
at the hospitable home OF President
Weld. After very cordial welcome
by the host the latter turned the meet
ing over to Professor Reed, chairman
OF the school committee on boys ac-
tivities. In starting the ball rolling for
the programme of the evening Mr.. Reed
made his remarks At the occasion per-
fectly.
OF three addresses which were given
Professor Kingsford gave the first, and
he discussed subject in which he is
always at home, Athletics, and at the
close Ii was evident that he had arous-
ed "the spirit"
Professor Wood, Of the department OF
science. was thoroughly practical In all
he had to say on the advantages of q
normal education for men.
DIR. Hagen. OF the city board Of edu-
cation, commanded the closest atten-
ton during his telling OF the opportun
tiles which surround the students and
the value of not letting them slip by.
The doctor was profoundly earnest, at
the same time his remarks were not at
all dry and the applause at the close
was evidence Of the enthusiasm which
had been aroused. During the evening
three vocal solos were contributed by
Harold ]. Powers, head OF the music
and Messrs Clarence Lnr-
son and ]. Hanson.
AT the close of the programme Mrs.
Weld and Miss Lucy Weld served re-
over which there was some
social chatting.

Evenino Grain Letter.

Chicago, Sept. 1s. Wheat: The
cash demand was rather quiet here
and prices unchanged from yester-
day. The market after opening firm
in sympathy with our Liverpool cables,
later eased off on fine weather ia the
northwest and In Canada, but on the
break there was very good buying,
which caused a fair reaction. TRADE
was rather light all day and mostly
all OF local professional character
1t is doubtful If Canada produces as
much good wheat as last year, ana
there is likely to be a very large
quantity of poor stuff moving later
on. we look for very little action In
the market pending the Canadian cleo
ton but prefer TO buy on the weak
spots. Chas. E. Lewis e. Co.

selection employed In appointing
teachers shows the utter absence Of !

been formed, under the direction Of
the Rev. Robert @. Boville. who was
for four years head OF the Baptist

1905 Of the federation schools. This
body, known as the National Vacation
