APPOINTS
DEPUTIES
Chief Game Warden for District I
Selects Eight Deputies Besides
Several Wardens - talks About
-eese Shooting.

E. H. Stenvick, chief game warden
OF district No. l., announces the fol
lowing appointment Of deputies:
S. r. Finley, Harvey; Staale Hend-
rickson, Coteau; Jack Duis, Devils
Lake; Ole lee, Aneta; D. A. Kramer,
Velva; Isaac MCGOWAN, Grand Forks !;
J. D. Critics, Grand Forks; Robert
Dunlap, St. Thomas. In addition he
has appointed numerous special war.
dens, whose only pay will be what
rewards they receive.
Speaking Of the new game law, "
Stenvick said to an Independent re-
preventative: "The law,I conside,
is faulty in several particulars. II
gives fellow an excuse to go cut
in the spring with his dog and gun
and as we all know, the temptation
to kill ducks will be great. AS re
CARDS that part of the law which pro
hibits the shooting of geese at any
season of the year, within half {
mile of permanent water, 7 think
that nonsensical A we'll may be con
sidered permanent water. and besides
it was not the intent of the law to i'm
pose that restriction on the hunter!
in the fall, but in some manner it was
overlooked The board will have tt
designate three or four lakes in the
the shooting of geese in the fall a
all others. This will give the sports
men chance"

St Paul. Minn.-James ]. Hill, the
Great Northern, Northern Pacific rail
road magnate, sees in publlclty OF
corcporation matters and intelligent
public control of the ccrpoNauon'
themselves, long srep towards tFe
solution OF the present era OF Du:l-
ness sJagnation.
And the United States needs a
saviour" says Mr.. Hill. Ire
people have demanded not only the
best but all improvement on the nesS
and they will now have to pay ac-
cgrdngly. If they don't pay In none!
they must pay in prosperity. Inc
business of the country increases 10
r,er cent every year; the facilities Tor
handling this new business increase
only 16 Of that. The difference IN
the ratio is 100 great and a balance
must be struck, sometime, else there
will be a complete breakdown OF ser
vice or prosperity.
"Why don't the facilities for hand
ling business increase more rapidly!
Because the men behind these faclli-
ties are afraid to spend their money
for extensions and improvements.
Mr.. Hill has long been an expoh-
ent of publicity of corporation affairs
land looks upon that as one OF the
means of bringing corporation and
public together.
"The people are entitled t. know
what the public service corporations
are doing and the conditions under
which they transact business" ne
says. II have believed in. and have
advocated, publicity Of corporation
reports for many years. When the
public becomes conversant with cor
! poration affairs and is convinced that
1t is seeing from the inside, much OF
the feeling against the great business
concerns will pass away. That Will
be one of the effects Of publicity.
In the matter Of public control Of
quasi-public concerns, Mr.. Hill ID
firm advocate, but he wants that con
troll to be intelligent, he wants only

YOUNG men and Young Wome',
Are Talented.

The declamatory contest held a
.Iacobson's opera house Friday nigh',
was a great success. AS usuai

Isidered tiresome, but from the start
to the finish, this one was full OF
life. The selections were varie
and they were particularly adapted t.
the contestants giving them.
1t was a hard matter indeed Cor the
judges to decide upon the winner,
especially among the young ladies.

wood received the highest average,
and will participate in the state c; T.

The young men and young women
we're given excellent training py
Miss Florence Miller, who deserves
considerable credit for the success of
Friday evenings entertainment.
Mr.. Houston's selection, "The Man

able manner. From the very begin
ming, it was seen that he was WIN

class, Melvin Johnson, John Rohwed'
der and Merelyne Auten handled thei
subjects in a very creditable manner.
Miss Smallwood choose for her
selection, "Pro Patria' and while she
received the highest average, sne
won by but three tenths of a'per cent.
Alice Falvey in her rendition OF "A
Sioux Chiefs Daughter" was excell'

Diamonds" was par excellent. Verna
White impersonated the "Sweet girl
graduate" and completely captivated
the audience. Helen Aurlands inter
pretation of "The Canyon Flower

FANNY Jar" created great deol OF
amusement, while "The Christina
Substitute" by Miss Reba Wells was
one of the prettiest numbers.
Elizabeth Cross told the story OF
"The Lost Word" in captivating
manner.
We are proud of Minot's young men

that they possessed such a talent as
was displayed Friday evening.
The girls glee club from the high
sihool sang two pleasing numbers

Dan sweeney sustained fractured
ankle Sunday night when his compan-
ion, who was driving a horse, drove
off IA dangerous grade west of town
two miles. The accident happened at
identically the same spot where DR..
Offerman's automobile turned turtle
two weeks ago. Sweeney was the
only members of the party who suffer

CHANGE OF VENUE GRANTED
Announcement of Judge LittlejOhn
That ChiIders Will BE Tried in
Sumter Created SURPRISE.

AMERICUS. - Considerable sur
prise was created here this after
noon upon the announcement made
authoritatively that Judge Littlejohn.
upon request of the county commits
siOners of Lee county, would gran
change of venue in the Maud Chill
ders murder case, and that the sec.
ond trial will be held in Americas
next week.
Judge Littlejohn recently denied
the petition of Childers' attorneys
for a change of venue, but upon the
showing made by the Lee county
commissioners the case will undoubt
eddy be transferred to Sumter anG
assigned for trial next Monday.
The commissioners of Lee county,
in their petition to Judge Littlejohn,
express serious doubt of the ability
to secure another trial jury there
and even in such event they believe
another mistrial would result.
Attorneys on both sides agreed
this evening upon Sumter county,
and Judge Littlejohn will act accord
ingly. Childers remains in the Lee
county Jail, where has been since Au-
gust upon the charge of wife muir
der.

COnvict's Plans Frustrated.

Convict's Plans Frustrated.
Claude Holland, the notorious VIC
lator of the prohibition law who is
now serving a twelve-months' sen
tence in the changing for violating
the prohibition law, conceived and
began the execution of a shrewd
scheme to effect his escape. 1t was
however, discovered just in time to
prevent its successful termination.
Holland discovered the number on
the lock to the chains that aid in
his detention as a ward of the coun-
ty, and wrote a letter to the manu-
facturer ordering a key; which he
stated had been lost, to be mailed
to him at Smithville Another letter
was written to his mother informing
her of what he had done and telling
her to get the letter at Smithville
containing the key and send it to
him in an apple or some bread.
The reply of the lock manufac-
turer to Hollands letter came tC
dawson instead of to Smithville, and
IS is the case with all mail for the
convicts fell into the hands of War
den jennings, VINO, 1t is needless to
yay, was greatly astOnished when he
earned it's contents.
When confronted with the letter
Holland insolently owned up to or
lering the key, and said that he did
not intend to stay in the gang and
would escape at the first opportuni-
y. The warden thereupon took him
aside to demonstrate with him mod
9rately in the manner that is Gus
,omary at convict camps, whereupon
The tiger" showed an ugly temper
and declared that it would be better
20 kill him than to proceed as the
preliminaries indicated. The war
den entered into a vigorous argu-
ment, in which a bull tongue" did
most Of the talking, to persuade him
to the contrary, and there were soon
ample evidences that his efforts had
been highly successful. .

DEATH OF A LITTLE CHILD.
Susie, Daughter of MIR. and Mrs. S.
G. Yarbrough, Passes Away.

G. YarbrOugh, Passes Away.
Words can never express the ach-
ing sorrow of those who have listen
ed daily to the sweet prattle of a
little one when that little one is TAX
en- away.
Little Susie was indeed the sun
shine of her fond parents life. She
came as a beautiful gift from heaven
to tighten their lives with her smil-
ing brown eyes, rosy cheeks and
clinging baby fingers. Oh, it is hard
for that mother to give up her dar-
ling whom she has so tenderly shell
tered in her arms. No one but God
knows how she struggles with that
bitter sorrow. The father whose
daily joy has been to toss the laugh
ing baby to his broad shoulders who
has so bravely toddled to meet him
it is well he has a brave heart, for
now he Wrestles with despair.
How everyone who knew her will
miss the beautiful baby we all had
learned to love. That home bears
an impenetrable blackness of sorrow
and silence, but the baby arms are
reaching out for the dear parents
and friends from a land where there
is no shadow, nor tears, nor any
imperfections; where neither temp
tations nor trials exist. She will
live forever in joy and peace in
Gods shelter from storms and strife.
May this thought bring comfort to
the mother and father, for whom we
feel the deepest sympathy and com
passion One who holds the baby's
memory dear, COUSIN PAULINE.

PRETTY NEW WINTER MODEL
Gown Of Plum Purple With Straight,
Narrow Skirt Makes Charming
Effect.

An admirable new winter model Is
of plum purple, with straight mar
row skirt trimmed below the knees
with deep fold of the material pipe6
with black satin; there are two swing
ing panels at the back, which give
broad effect across the waist at the
back; this, by the way, is one of the
dominant features of this winters
styles and will be seen on every kind
Of gown.
The coat is quite large and does n,
follow the slim, straight lines that al
the tailors made conspicuous last
summer; it has a black satin corC
across the back a little above thu
waist, which holds the material in,
and a peplum, or lower part, which
fits the hips snugly and reaches half
way to knees.
There are two buttons to fasten II
above the waistline in front, and Q
voluminous collar, square across the
back and running to points at thl
waist. This is made of French gray
broadcloth, finished off with a bani
of the material, and with an Egyptian
design in tubular black braid in the
middle of the back.

AtoIIs.

1t is shown by the Investigations
conducted by scientific expeditions to
the Pacific islands that there is slow
elevation going on there, which, by
lifting the reefs gradually above the
waves, preserves them from erosion
at the top, and enables vegetation and
certain animal forms of q, terrestrial
character to exist there. This is quite
in opposition to Darwin's idea that
the atolls were formed by the grad
ual submergence of small islands, and
that the coral insects built up encir-
cling reefs as the islands sank
Recent reports show that the eleva.
tion of the islands is a general phe.
nomenon, but variable in amount,
some islands rising rapidly and others
very slowly.
Both the flora and the fauna of these
islands are confined to very few
species, although, seen from a dis
tance, some of them appear very rich
in vegetation. -Harper's Weekly.

FIXING UP GIRLS DEN
CLEVER YOUNG LADY PRODUCES
CHARMING EFFECT.
Artistic Taste Enables Her TO Work
Wonders With Materials Of
Trlfllng cost-Any Girl
Can Do as Well.

Brown, or rather natural colored
linen, very coarse In quality, and
therefore the more effective, has been
manipulated into window hangings
and upholstery covers by a clever girl
who was given a generous amount of
money with which to do over her own
den in the country house.
Being clever with her fingers, the
girl decided to do her room herself,
and, having an economical turn OF
mind, she wished to have the best ef-
fects for the least money. The result
Is most charming in tan and pink
with touches Of green, and the hang.
ings are likely to wear forever.
The linen she bought by the piece
OF GO yards at wholesale, and because
II was cheaper she selected that which
is stiffened and is used in the making
Of mems clothing. The home laun.
dress washed the stiffening out, and
the girl had a material not unlike Rus.
sian linen, but costing decidedly less.
On the walls of this room, which is
high among the treetops, she had a
paper covered at regular intervals
with very small punches Of tiny,
round. pink roses, showing the mer-
est suspicion of foliage.
The linen was made into straight
draperies, with four inch hens that
fall. unlooped to the sill. There is a
shallow valance, with similar hem, but
no heading is used above that through
which the small brass rod is run. The
object of having a shallow valance is
that the view Of great trees shall not
be destructed.
A box 12 inches high, 100 long and
rs wide serves as a receptacle for In
frequently worn dresses and a window
seat. It is done with the linen. The
sides and ends are concealed by the
material hanging in box pleats. On
the top is a separate cushion, the case
for which the girl made, but the cush-
ion itself, that 1t might be even and
nice, was done at an upholster's. The
box is placed beneath two windows to-
gether, and near it is a round mahog-
any table on which are books, jar OF
flowers, a lamp and the other ct
ceteras one would have in such a
room.
An old wing chair, discarded by her
mother for several years. the girl had
bought from the stables and covered
1t herself, using brass tacks as fin
ish. The work took time, but was not
difficult, for the old cover was used
for pattern in cutting out the new.
A mahogany side chair and q steamer
chair were given linen cushions, made
on.
