Back from a vacation spent in Kan

pounds. Yes, the weight was duly
sworn to before a notary public.
Here's the document"
And Constable pulled an official
looking paper from his pocket and
passed it around a group of listeners.

stable caught a 141-pound catfish at
Bennington, kas., in the Solomon riv-

caught the said fish with his hands

"The Solomon is noted for its cat

SLAPPED NOGI ON THE BACK.
And "Hurrah for Japan" Cried Effer.
vescent American Tourist.

(BeTlfn Gable to the New York Times)
General Count Nogi. the hero Of
Port Arthur, who left for Japan this
week by way Of Russia, was the VIC
tim Of IN extraordinary experience
with ar American, a "half-fellow-well-
met" tourist, in the Hotel Adioh the
night before the generals departure.
The American, who is a we'll known
New York man about town and bears
a distinguished hyphenated name, oc-
cupies apartments in n of the fash
ionable uptown hotels, and is fond Of
assuring both foes and friends that he
traces his ancestry back to the ster-
ling days when Charles II of England
had taken refuge in the humble home
of a lady who lived nea the battle
field of Worcester.
General Nogi, who is the most mod
est of men, was just leaving his table
in the garden restaurant of the AdiOn
when this New Yorker ambled in for
dinner. The New Yorker had seen
General Nogi around the hotel for the
fortnight previous, but had not been
presented. He decided, however, to
waive any little formalities, and walk
ing up to the Japanese general. who,
0S dllCdOy AlALCOy 40 AGO PSASOAA
fled, slapped him jovially on the back,
exclaiming:
"Good old Nogi! Hurrah for Japan!"
The grizzled Japanese fighting mar
seemed to grasp the beauty Of the sit
uation instantly. His oriental COM
posure did not desert him. He speaks
no English, SO he could not reply
to the New Workers. unceremonious
greeting. He simply smiled in a sort
Of half-amused. half-pained way, and
walked out Of the garden on the arm
of his adjutant. Col. koshida, who
proceeded to explain that some Amer
ican tourists at large in Europe have
ways peculiar to themselves of CIV
ing expression to their feelings.
The incident occurred in the pres
ence Of forty or fifty American guests
who were dining at the hotel. These
Americans were naturally disguised,
and organized an impromptu indigna-
ton meeting for the purpose OF dis
cussing the advisability Of telling their
e~ffervescent fellow-countryman what
they thought of such an exhibition.
The next day the New Yorker left
in his motor car for Switzerland. Fifth
avenue will no doubt be RECALLED pres
entity with stories Of "how l met
Nogi."

WISCONSIN FOLLOWS
PLAN Of WESLEY
COLLEGE
DIR. Robertson Attended Meet
ing of Committee Of the
Methodist Church

DR.. E. P. Robertson of Wesley col
lege returned this morning from
Madison, Wis, where he met with the
committee appointed by the Metho-
dist conference of that state to FORM
ulate plans for greater church activi-
ty at Madison, the seat of the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin.
The committee unanimously recon-
mended the establishment OF a Metho-
dist college affiliated with the univer-
sity in the same manner as Wesley
college is here. President Van Hise
oil Wisconsin gave every assurance
of a hearty welcome to the establish
ment of such a college and the enter
changing OF credits for work done
there in the university.
Wisconsin now has one Methodist
college, Lawrence, with an endow-
ment of $75O,O00. The plan proposed
will not affect the work of Lawrence
college but would be intended merely
to meet the situation at the state uni
versity.
The afiliation idea. in which the
North Dakota university and Wesley
college are pioneers, has been follow
ed also at the University of Missouri
where the Christian church has es-
tablished a college with does work
in connection with the state univer.
sity. This college was established
shortly after the afnliation Of Wesley
college.
President A. Ross Hill of Missouri
gives the plan his hearty approval
nnH avnNaaono fhA r,feh <1ak Ill >&hAv
denominations would follow the idea
With Missouri and Wisconsin fol
lowing the example of this state, II
is evident that the %afiliation plan in
which Wesley college was a pioneer
is gaining ground throughout the
country.
The invitation to DR.. Robertson tc
attend the meeting of the Wisconsin
committee is a remarkable compli-
ment. When DR.. Robertson was or
his way to De Paw university last
fall to attend a meeting of the presi.
dents Of Methodist colleges, he de.
livered an address at Madison and
met several Of the men interesting
n the movement. The invitation tc
attend the meeting and explain the
success of the utilization plan was the
result.
The site for the erection of the pro.
posed college has been selected and
1t Is hoped to make the purchase in
the near future.
While on his way to Madison, DR.
robertson was the guest of DR.. Frank
Doran, formerly pastor of the Metho.
dist church in this city, at Winona
MINI. DIR. Robertson preached in the
DR.. Doran's church, the Central
Methodist.

for Pair Of Men Charged With
Crooked Work.

Secretary w. G. Macfadden of the
North Dakota Bankers association has
sent out q warning to the bankers Of
the state against q pair Of swindlers
who have operated successfully in sew
eral towns.
One of the men has given the name
of Loney D. Johns, claiming to repre-
sent the Central Realty company Of
Ashville, N. c., who is accused of hav-
ing passed two bad checks, 1t being
found that there is no such concern
although the supposed agent was fitted
out deliberately in the matter of sta
tionery. Another supposed realty man
claimed Pittsburg as his home and
operated in a similar manner, securing
the endorsement Of the hotel owner to
his check.
