She's very, very obstinate,
And if against her will
She is convinced, she always holds
The same opinion still.
She always has her Ows ideas,
And though she is polite
If you and she do not agree,
She always knows she's right.
She's so extremely positive
That, taking any view
OF anything, no matter what,
She sticks to it like glue.

To change her mind, you see,

The botany class has lately planted
oats, wheat, radishes. turnips and let
tuce in their gardens. One of their
experiments this week was to make up
four solutions, each containing differ
ent mineral substances found IN the
ground and from which plants get
their food material. In these solutions
were placed wheat seedlings. The
purpose of this is to find which solu-

growth at the end of four weeks and
also to compare the growth of these
seedlings in the solutions with thos e
planted in the gardens.

Later on Miss Edith Ross played the

appropriate remarks, tied the knot
tighter and announced that they were
ready for congratulations. S. l.. Pot

which all enjoyed. The guests

DAY NIGHT
AN AMICABLE settlement
He Merely Went on a Business
Trip to Larken, N. D., Where
He is Interested in a
Drug StOre---De1ayed
on Trip.

A. L. Bloomquist, the jeweler, whom
it was reported last week had left town
under peculiar circumstances, returned
Sunday, and it now transpires that he
went to Lankin, N. D., where he has
business interests, to look after them,
and that he took none of the mort
gagged property, consisting of dia-
monds, jewelry, ETC., with him, but be-
fore leaving transferred them from his
safe in the store to place he consid-
cred more secure, and did not think
it necessary to tell anybody about this
transfer. When his clerk came down
to open up the store Monday she could
not work the combination to the safe,
and called on Mr.. Hart, and when he
found the stuff gone he Immediately
commenced trying to locate Bloom
quist, who had been delayed on his trip
and did not arrive at his destination I'M
til day later than he should. Mr..
Hart could get no trace of him, so got
busy.
Mr.. Bloomquist informs US that the
matters have now been settled salts
factorily to all parties concerned and he
will opened the store and commenced
doingbusiness at the old stand Friday
morning.
1t seems in this case peculiar COM
bination of circumstances transpired to
cast reflections on the character of an
entirely innocent man, but we do not
see how, after the matter has been
explained, Mr.. Bloomquist's character
or reputation can suffer by the incident.

Seven Years Mystery Cleared

Seven Years Mystery Cleared
Tuesday afternoon, while Lawrence
Erikson was moving hay in a slough
about a half mile north of Bluedog lake
he ran onto a human skeleton. He
came to town and reported his find,
and an investigation proved it to be
the remains of Tolleff Thompson, an
old man who mysteriously disappeared
on the evening of July 16, 1904. The
remains were identified by Brent
Thompson, son of the old gentleman,
who recognized some peculiar shaped
glass buttons and truss which the
unfortunate man wore at the time of
his disappearance. This summer is the
first time in many years that the slough
has been dry, on account of the
extremely dry season. While deploring
the death of this old man in such
manner, we can rejoice with the rela-
tives in that the mystery of his disap-
pearance is at last cleared up. -Wau-
