DENIS. GO TOLOVE FEAST
State Chairman Macarthur, Secretary
and Forty Others Accompany
Governor to ST. Paul.

Last night a fair sized party Of
North Dakota democrats left Fargo for
st. Paul to attend the democratic love
feast of the northwestern states to be
held there tonight. The party includ-
ed many Of the most prominent demo-
Gratis Of the state, comprising State
Chairman Macarthur, State Secretary
Mclean and the governor.
One Of the purposes of the attend
ance of the North Dakota delegation
of democrats is to boom the North Da-
kota governor for either the presiden-
tial or vice presidential nomination on
the democratic ticket in 1912. The
democrats Of the state feel that If the
governor isn't good enough for first
place on their national ticket, he might
do for second, and a boom for him for
that honor will be likely to be launched
in the Minnesota capital tonight.
It is understood delegations will be
present from Wisconsin, Minnesota
Iowa, North and South Dakota

miles of territory where opportunity
would be jumping at them from every
acre. And that is the impression we
want TO create, that there are thou
sands of acres of unoccupied lands
in the state and that we are able to
take care Of great influx OF people.
The western part Of the state is where
the open land is and where the people
must come to appreciate that oppor-
tunities offered.
There need be no fear as to the
crowd, the railroad companies will at
tend to a large part of that there
having been assurance received al
ready that the Northern Pacific and
the Great Northern will use their best
efforts in advertising the show in all
parts of the country and making rates
that will attract people.
AS we understand the proposition
the commissioner of agriculture does
town that will make the highest bid,
but to the one that makes the best bid
and 1t is fair to surmise that in con-
sidering what makes the best bid Mr..
Gilbreath will take into consideration
other things than the amount of mon
ey Bismarck will be there with the
coin as well as the location and other
advantages such as floor space and no.
tel accommodations, and expects to land
the show. The business men have
shown a very creditable spirit in reply
ing to the request for funds and so
far the work of the committee appoint
ed TO solicit has met with an enthu-
siastic reception. There will be no
let up in the work. however, until the
meeting is finally landed for here and
then the harder work of preparation
will commence.

been cut off near the hip and he is
compelled to use crutches
After having been in the large room
for some time he started to fight, being
drink crazy, as he said this morning.
He swung his artificial legs around In
such a manner that he had to be
placed in a cell. This morning he was
called upon by the desk sergeant to
take him into court, both of his
crutches were broken into numerous
pieces.
The one legged man hoped into the
courtroom. He told Judge Miller that
he was crazed by drink when he had
broken his clutches and that he was
unaccountable for anything that he had
done while under the influence OF IL
quor. He also stated that he was on
his way to Hot Springs, S. D., where
| he had hoped to enter the soldiers
home.
Judge Miller sentenced McNfullen
and gave the police the liberty of send
ing him out of town. Chief Bowers
ordered him to leave town, and after
securing some crutches he expects to
get out.
| John Flint was in the court this
morning, charged with being drunk and
he will be held here for several days.
Flint was taken off of Great North
ern train last night and turned over TO
the local department. 1t was stated by
train officials that he was crazy and
had attempted to kill himself while on
! the train. This morning he denied be-
ing insane but stated that he had been
drinking. If everything proves salts
factory and Flint gets along all right he
will be allowed to proceed on his jour
ney in few days.

A recent report of the Carnegie
foundation states that, on the aver
age. recitation rooms in American
colleges and universities are not
used more than four hours a day.
Governor Stubbs last week ad-
dressed letters to Chancellor Strong
of the University of Kansas, and
other heads of the state education
al institutions, asking for a report
on the number of hours per day
rooms are in use in the state
schools of higher education in Kan
sas. The data compiled by the
Chancellor in reply shows that re-
citation rooms at the University of
Kansas are used on an average IL
hours per day, nearly twice as
much as the average for the Unit
ed States. The reports from the
State Normal and Agricultural
School show about the same aver
age of use. The attendance at the
state schools of higher education
has greatly increased within recent
years and a crowded condition of
the buildings has resulted, which
the erection of additional buildings
has only partially relieved.
