state and that the amount collected
be forwarded by the teacher, principal
or superintendent to Frank D. Hail,
superintendent of the Children's g Home,
Fargo, N. D.
Letus remember those less fortunate
than ourselves and share with them the
blessings We enjoy. IF each pupil con-
tributes one penny towards this splen-
did purpose, great assistance will be
rendered this noble institution, which
is doing SO much for the homeless chill,
dren of our state. The children VINO
contribute will be greatly benefited as
they will be taught a lesson in charity
which will go with them thorugh LIE.
County superintendents will please
bring this to the attention Of teachers
in the schools under their supervision

PEMB1NA, n. D., Nov. o.-The
work Of selecting jury for the Stew
art trial was completed here today, s.
g. Nsyrick sof Pembina and Wolfora
Stone Of Joliet completing the ju'y.
The States Attorney prosecuting the
case made announcement at the start
OF the trial this morning that the af.
fair would have to be based largely on
circuu,stantial evidence and that the
prosecution would make no pretense Of
showing how Worral met his death,
other than Stewart was believed to be
responsible for the murder. General
feeling prevails here that the state Will
have considerable difficulty in showing
Stewart guilty.
Pembina, N. D., Nov. 9.-Ernest
Stewart was unsuccessful in his mo-
tion seeking to quash the information
against him, charging the murder OF
Phillip Worral at Neche. The motion
was made by Attorney w. J. Burke
Immediately court convened, brief ar
guments being made, and when Judge
Kneeshaw overruled the point, the de
fendant entered plea of not guilty.
The work Of securing the jury was
then commenced, and three men have
already been secured. They are F. NJ
King Of Pembina, Jeremiah Kracher Of
Cavalier township, and Sig Davidson
Of Mountain. The jury may be com
,, pleted today.
Attorney JEFF Myers Of Grafton ha'
been engaged by the prosecution t.
assist in conducting the case.
