Inhibited at the industrial exposition at
Bismarck. The prizes were offered
by Carlos ~. Boynton of ST. Paul.
And 1t was at most an accident that
Mr.. NierlinE. owner Of the land where
the corn grew. entered in the contest
at all. After George w, Hurts took
the Stutaman county exhibits to the
exposition he wrote back to Mr.. Nier-
ling that more samples Of different
crops were needed. MIR. Nierling
then spent considerable time going
over the county for the exhibits which
he sent ON to Mr.. Kurtz. Then came
q second call from Bismarck for still
more exhibits and II was then that
Mr.. Nierling went to his own farm
ana picked out ten good ears OF his
corn to an out. little thinking that
this would prove the best Stutsman
county corn on exhibition there.
There il doubtless plenty of corn

some better said Mr.. Nierling In
speaking Of his exhibit.
Mr.. Nieriing has fifty acres OF this
corn. twenty 1--we Of which he has al
ready put into his now famous silo

shock, promises q fine crop.
The exhibits of corn at the EXPOSE

and in addition to this the exhibits
have a chance at the state prizes to
be conducted In connection with the
1912 convention of the North Dakota
Corn Growers association and the
prizes offered by the banks OF James
town. Exhibits for the local prizes
must be left at the city hall or any
OF the banks on or before Dec. L. and
the contest viii be managed by the
local bankers some time after that
date. This will make 1t necessary
for new samples to be furnished for
the local contest. The Jamestown
prizes are. s25, first, SIS. second, and
$40, third, for the best ten ears each

s. r. Corwin has selected $3.50

man FOUND DEAD
IN MINOT HOTEL

Minot, N. D., Oct Sired Lankin
OF Appleton, Ia, was found dead In q
bed in room 2 at the Hotel Dakota,
Saturday at IL o'clock The mans
body was discovered by Clerk George
Fitzpatrick, as he stepped into the
room to arouse him. He apparently
died from natural causes, having been
very Ill for some time prior to coming
to this city. The exact cause, how
ever, will be determined at the coro-
ner's inquest.
Lankin appeared at the hotel in an
apparently intoxicated condition. He
apparently realized the impression his
appearance would create for he said to
Mr.. Mcdonald, proprietor of the hotel.
that he supposed he. Mr.. Mcdonald,
would think he was drunk. but that he
was very weak, having been seriously
III for long time in Moose Jaw. He
stated that he had been hurt in a rail-
road accident in Canada, having been
thrown from a fiat car which resulted
in serious injury TO his back. A
Moose Jaw physician attended the In
jured man and after some weeks In
the hospital he believed he was strong
enough to undertake trip to his home
at Appleton, Ia. He arrived In the
city yesterday afternoon and went at
once to the Hotel Dakota. After rest
ing awhile in the lobby OF the hotel
he stated that he felt much better
than when he came in and asked IL he
might retire.
There may possibly be a slight error
in the mans name, for his signature
on the hotel register was very poorly
written and there were no papers on
the mans person to identify him.
However, a careful scrutiny on the
| part OF several persons, left the UNI
animous impression that the mans
name was Fred Lanlxin. The man was
about feet or s inches in height,

Notable Increase in Number Of stu,
dents at Summer school.


dents at Summer school.
Nearly 1900 students are in attendance
at the summer session of Columbia uni
versity, which is an increase over last
year of 500 In addition to the greater
number Of students on Morningside Heights
the change in the work taken by them is
noticeable.
With each succeeding year the character
OF the students has changed materially.
There have been proportionally fewer
teachers and school superintendent regis
tered, and more students taking regular
graduate courses This year the change
in this respect is even more noticeable
Not only have other colleges sent men
to supplement their regular work, but the
number OF Columbia students has materially
increased.
Among the courses which are best at
tended are those in history, psychology,
and the graduate studies in English all of
them being really graduate courses lead
ing to masters and doctors degrees and
among the students are many who took
the regular courses during the winter. In
one course in particular, under Prof.
Thorndike there are forty-five students
and he insists that they shall take no
other course, for his requires two hours
day. Several other purely graduate
courses have filled almost as WELL while
the science classes are larger than ever
before
This year, more than ever the director
of the session has insisted upon recreation
for the students. and has so arranged the
courses that there is sufficient time for
play as well as work. Concerts, receptions
and trips about the city have been pro-
vided, and these are not only for pleasure,
but instruction. On Monday afternoon,
July H., an elaborate vesper service was
held in st. Pauls chapel, at which Presi-
dent Nicholas Murray Butler made an ad-
dress, and there was a final musical pro-
gram under the direction Of Walter Henry
Hall, the organ being strengthened by
brass and drums Then there are weekly
band concerts on the green at One Hun
bred and Twentieth street, while the uni
verslty chorus will give a concert toward
the end of the session.
1t is a busy time on Mornlngslde with
the 5000 students and there is almost as
much life as in the regular session. Brooks
hall and Whittier hall, the dormitories
are filled to fullest extent, and there are
few empty rooms in Hartley or Livingston,
while the boarding houses on the heights
are all we'll filled. r" 49,
