cation. The suhstation of the college
of mines of Hebron and the school
Of forestry ut Bottincau are among
the later state activities established
west of the %provcrbial division line.
The normal schools are serving the
state we'll. The standard of teaching
Is already high compared with that
of dozens of the older common
wealths, and it is being gradually
raised. 10 that teachi-.g Is no longer
butchering the child mind by incom-
potency and ineXperience. The nor
NAL schools have done their share
in the work. There is room for
another without crowding on the field
or the other state institutions doing
normal work. In fact. the field is
growing so rapidly i'll its demand for
competent teaching force that all the
institutions can eNpend their cnefsies
without supplying it.
We have said before and repeat now
that geographically Minot has u large
and rich field to draw from in gather
ing her pupils. The western part of
the state can reach that point easier
and consequently cheaper than would
be the case elsewhere. That normal

that the new normal will thus in
crease the teaching force Of the state
without drawing II from
the other institutions.
1t is up to the people of Minot now
to get together in Il universal pull and

ton over the school. II to show the
people of the state that their conf

and public spirit OF Minot was not
misplaced when they voted for the
amendment to the constitution which
gave The city its normal school. We
do not doubt for n but that
Minot will meet the highest cXpecta-
tons and measure fully up to the
most %eXacting demands of the public.

ANOTHER BUTCHER
HEAVILY FINED
Il. L. REED GIVEN 4 FINE OF 500
FOR SELLING TAINTED MEAT
TO 4 CUSTOMER.
FRAZIER NOT GENTLE
Says He Will Put Stop to the Prac-
tice-Case is Appealed by De-
PENDANT.

Magistrate James A. Frazier dis
played how he felt towards meat mar
ket men who have the nerve to sell
tainted meat to their customers in
his court yesterday afternoon, when
he imposed fine Of 500 with costs
on T. T. Reed, a white man, who con-
ducts meat market at Sixth avenue
and Missouri street Reeds attorney
J. M. Shaw appealed the case to the
circuit court and Reed was released
on $3.50 bond. The maximum fine
for this offense is $500 and the mini
mum lis 81. Reed said he did not
know the meat was tainted.
Owing to the recent arraignment
of another East Sixth avenue butch
er on charge of selling diseased
meat, and the report that other mar
kets have been selling bad meat, this
Tearing was Unusually interesting.
The chief prosecuting witnesses
against Reed were J. T.. Gaddy and
his sister, Miss Gaddy, who live Oh
East Fourth avenue. The testimony
was to the effect that Miss Gaddy
went to the Reed store on Monday
evening to buy some meat for the
evening meal The young lady
bought some pork and while on her
way home discovered that an ordor
came from the meat. When she
reached home, according to her testi-
! mony she and her brother examined
the meat and found it to be tainted.
! They went to the office of Magistrate
J. A. Frazier, where several attaches
of the court examined the meat and
it was dumped into the river. J. J.
Ivy, who conducts the Cash Market
on Main street, testified before the
court concerning the operation Of a
meat market Deputy District Attor-
ney T. G. Parham represented the
tate.
In imposing the fine Magistrate T.
Frazier made a few remarks in
-,hich he stated that he would do hi
'''nost in the future to gut stor
=, this kird Of business on the part
&c lcoe1 dee1e"s. He said that com
Dlaints 'ad reached his ears and tina
he was in favor of dealing severely
with the meat sellers who violated the
| law in t'ia ~asoect.

BRANS0N HELD
ONTO PRISONER
City Detective Was Not Given Reward
i'll Crai.head Count, aud Returned
Home With Ne%ro Convict.

The police department. Will hardly
over-eNert itself in the future in at
tempting to catch escaped convicts,
as a result of their getting "stung''
yesterday when the authorities OF
Craighead county refused to nay any
thing for the capture Of Will Me
Bride, negro, whom Tie local Of
ficers arrested here several weeks
ago. Detective w. \ Branson took
Mcbride to Hickory Ridge which is
in Craighead county Monday night
after the officers of Hiatt county re-
quested his return after escaping from
the Craighead county convict farm.
When Detective Branson and his
charged reached Hickory Ridge the
officers offered to take the negro pri-
soner and admitted that he was the
man they wanted but they refused TO
pay for him, and even for the cx-
pense OF taking him to their county.
detective Branson returned home
with the negro Yesterday lie was
again placed in the city Jail, and will
be put on the streets today To work
out fine for stealing Il suit case
from local rooming house several
weeks ago. The Pine Bluff officers
are surprised at the attitude of the
Craighead county officers and are un-
able to give any reason for their ac-
ton

DELAWARE GUNS
HIT TFXRS TWICE
During Practice in Hampton Roads
Shells From the Big Dreadnaught
Strike Near tie Ohio.

Washington Aug. 29.--The great
dreadnaught Delaware, the pride of
the Navy, hit the target Battleship
Texas twice yesterday at a distance
of ten miles and came near sinking
tser.
This latter performance was not
on the program and today was the
sensation of the fleet off Hampton
Roads. The Delaware had for some
time been shooting twelve-inch shells
at the Texas, at range of 10000
yards. She got the range accurately
after several shots and placed two
shells in the hull of the Texas. She
was broadside on to the Texas and
the other battleships and cruisers
lad taken positions at what was con-
sidered a safe distance The distance
from the target, however, had moth
ing to do with what happened. All
of sudden the after turret of the
Delaware opened fire and it was sup
posed she intended to annilailate the
Texas with two more twelve inch
shells. After the first of these shots,
however the battleships which, were
observing the play, as it were,
frantically ran up signals cease fir
ing"
Information that came here is that
the first shell from the after-turret
from the Delaware whistled close to
the Ohio, nine miles away, and gave
the jackies and sailors the cold
shivers. 1t was then the signals to
cease firing" were run up but be-
fore they were observed by the Della
ware another twelve-inch shell hit
the water so close 10 the Ohio, that
it splashed the water ON the decks
of that battleship. 1t is very remark
able and altogether unexplained how
any gunner could have taken any
other ship for the Texas.
