FIRST OFFICIAL POET LAUR.
EATE.

Among the noted men whose lives
have been presented varying vicissi-
tudes Of fortune, Ben Jonson deserves
a conspicuous place. Born soon after
the death of his father, a clergyman
Of Scotch descent, his training was,
within few years, committed to his
stepfather, who being a master brick
layer" himself deemed his own call
ing quite good enough for young Ben.
Accordingly, after spending some
years at Westminster school, he was
put to brick laying.
A little of this sufficed Ben, and he
escaped into Flanders where he took
up arms against Spain, very popu-
lar form of dispelling ennui among
the young men of that time. While
there he challenged and killed a Span
ish adversary, this being easy of ac-
complishment on account of his I'M
mense size and strength.
Later he returned to England
where he soon became the foremost
dramatist and literary man of his day,
with the possible exception Of Shakes
peare. He also composed numerous
librettos for the court masques so
popular at that time, and among
these is the beautiful lyric, ITO Ce-
lia," better known to the world at
large as Drink to Me Only With
Thine Eyes" It causes a feeling of
disappointment to learn that one
capable of producing such lines was
very unhappy in his domestic life.
In company with two others he
produced Eastward Ho." to which
James I took exception. claiming It a
reflection upon Scotland, from whence
he had but recently come to assume
the reins Of government in England.
Jonson and his companions were
promptly thrown into prison. their
goods confiscated and their very noses
and ears threatened with amputation.
This playfulness on the kings part
was finally limited to q simple brand
ing of the thumbs. In some way
Jonson effected reconciliation with
this pig-headed representative Of the
Divinity Of Kings" and was short

emptiOn Law of the State

1t remained for Peder P. Miller
Of Hillsboro, a shoe dealer. to be
the first North Dakotan taking the
Nelson cure under the new state ex-
emption law. His petition has been
filed with Referee Theo. B. Elton of
this city and the date Of the first
meeting Of creditors is August 81 at
Hillsboro.
Since July 1 the bankruptcy busi-
ness in this district has been decid-
edly lacking, the fact that the recent
legislative assembly cut the amount
of exemptions in half being respon-
sible. Up to July l there was brisk
business, as several felt that it was
the best time to take the Nelson cure,
coming under the provisions Of the
old law by so doing.
The first candidate under the new
provisions fixed his assets at more
than his liabilities, claiming $4,679.52
under the former head, with $4,32S.97
in the column of liabilities.

A GOVERNMENT MAN
HELPS FARMERS
BUILD S|LOS
New Expert Arrives in Dako-
State Department Takes
Deep Interest in Work

Government aid in the matter of
supervision In the CONSTRUCTION of
silos is being extended to the farm
ers OF northeastern North Dakota in
accordance with a general plan re-
Gently adopted by the department of
agriculture, and the benefits of which
are now being reaped by the Dakota
tillers of the soil anxious to diversity
their interests. A. X. Risser of Col
orado Springs, federal expert, has
reached Grafton and is engaged in
the supervision of the construction
work on several farms.
Concrete silos are being given an
extensive tryout in this section, and
that fact has resulted in special in
terest from the dairy commissioners
office. E. H. Pierce, assistant dairy
commissioner, has already arrived in
Grafton. and Commissioner R. F.
Flint will arrive in a few days to
witness the carrying on of this COM
paratively new work.
At the present time Mr.. Riser is
engaged in construction work on a
silo at the Charles Boone farm four
miles from Grafton. When this is
completed or is advanced far enough,
he will go to Walhalla to superintend
similar operations for c. w. Andrews.
G. w. Currie Of Park River is an
other farm owner who will have one
of the silos constructed Immediately,
and there are many others through
out the district who are following
the plan also.
Government interest in dairying in
northeastern North Dakota was gain
ed only recently when Expert Merritt
was sent to Grafton to take charge
of the work. He has been engaged
constantly, through the association
Of the Grafton Business Mems club,
in the task of creating dairy inter-
est, and much success has been met
with. The present work by the 9TH
er dairy department man comes as a
result of his efforts.
Relative to the construction of the
concrete silos, it is pointed out that
the government men do not urge the
construction Of any particular kind
of a silo to the exclusion of any
other, but they do point out the best
construction plan as judged from the
&OSS"A OuAAuAAS SOAAulClOAos III lAl6
district, with plenty. of gravel avail
able, the concrete Silo has been look
ed upon favorably.
Interest in the dairying work that
has bee ncreated through the activity
of the government is becoming gen.
eral. At Park River recently the
Commercial club Of that city success
fully carried through a plan that
brought large number of splendid
cattle, an entire carload being ship
ped in and distributed among the
farmers with view to lettering the
grade of stock.
Further interest upon the part of
the Park River farmers was shown
in big dairy meeting in that city
addressed by Expert Merritt. At
Hamilton, Pembina county, an entire
day Of the Pembina county fair was
given over to the dairying interests.

of the Northwest

According to the following dispatch
in The st. Louis Post-Dispatch, un-
der date of August S, from Naco,
Ariz.r Col. w. c. Greene, the copper
king who died there Saturday was
the man who located and surveyed
Fargo.
The story in The st. Louis Post
Dispatch Is as follows:
Col. w. c. Greene, copper magnate
and cattle king of Cananea, Mixeco,
died today of acute pneumonia. His
wife and children were at his bedside
Greene was hurt in runaway a few
days ago at Cananea. Severa' of his
ribs were broken. 1t is believed pneu-
monia resulted from his injuries.
Colonel Greene rose from a cow
puncher to a multimillionaire and
copper king, who lost everything, and
in later years recouped to some ex-
tent his losses. His ups and downs
have attracted the attention of two
countries.
Colonel Greene led an active life,
years of which were spent in the
open, all sorts of weather. When he
had accumulated fortune of some
thing like s2HO00,000. he uived in
New York. He stopped at the most
fashionable hotels, ate rich foods and
drank champagne: He lost his for
tune and went back to the bottom
Colonel Greene was the discoverer
of the king of copper mines, the Can
anea. He found backing in New
York, and in 1899 the Greene Con-
solidated Copper Co. was born. In
four years it became one of the great
est copper producers in the world.
and was valued in the open market
as high as $35,000,000. When Greene
became over-extended in other Mex
ican ventures. the Cole-Ryan organi-
cation wrested Its control from
Greene, and capitalized it at $6O, ,00O,-
900 in the 1906 copper boom.
Greene also f1oated the Greene
Gold Silver Co., which was capitaliz-
ed at $25.0OO,OO0; the Greene Con-
solidated Gold Co., with capitaliza-
tion Of $5,O00,000: the Sierra Madre
Land & Lumber Co., with q capital

New Dean Of the College
OF Medicine at University

Many anxious inquiries have been
made since the transfer Of Dean M,
A. Brannon from the medical school
to the college Of liberal arts in the
University Of North Dakota az to his
successor.
The feeling has been there was
something of crisis in the Develop
ment Of the medical school, but it has
been announced by the president Of
the university that an appointment
has been made which will provide a
worthy successor to Dean Brannon.
After a long search, DR.. H. q.
French has been secured to take the
deanship Of the school and to act as
professor Of anatomy. DIR. French
is man just nearing 10 years. He
secured the degree of B. A. from the
state college of Washington and the
M. d. degree from the medical school
of Northwestern university. He will
receive the degree of M. s. from Chi
cago university this summer. His
record as a student is of the highest
character and the work that he has
done points to an unusual career as
a student and research man.
He has held for the last four years
the professorship of anatomy in the
University Of South Dakota. Presi-
dent Gault Of the University of South
Dakota in a letter to President Nc
Vey, said Of DR.. French that no bet
ter man could be secured than DR..
French and that their regret in losing
him was great indeed, though he
recognized that there was a larger
opening for him in the University of
North Dakota.
Other letters are equally satisfac-
tory, and the members Of the faculty

mained three years. He next assist
ed in surveying the land on which
Fargo. N. D., now stands. He next
engaged in the cattle and then the
mining business, finally drifting down
to Sonora, Mex.
Colonel Greene was a gun fighter
Of the old school. He was young in
the days when the man who could
ride hardest, go longest without wa
ter and shoot quickets was the man
who got the goods" in the great
southwest.
The evening times., 1911-08-10

Of the University of North Dakota
look forward with interest and pleas
ure to the coming of DR.. French, as
it will certainly be gratifying to the
students of the school to know that
a competent dean has been secured
and that an able man will give his
whole time to the work in anatomy.
DIR. French comes to the university
the last of August and will have
charge Of some changes and repairs
that are being made in the medical
department before the opening of COL

Norman Eddy is in the parish jail
He reached Shreveport yesterday
morning from Seattle, Wash, where
his mother resides. When Informed
that he was wanted in Shreveport
on the charge Of murder he con-
sented readily to return without any
OF the formalities of law. He has de-
clared that he has had no connec-
tien with the murder of George
Hanson and does not know Red
Smith.
II, as may be anticipated, Will
Brown can prove an alibi, and if
Bessie Smith can sustain the state
ment that the watch claimed as
Hanson's was given TO her by Dug
San, and if Eddy can prove that he
has had no hand in this murder.
then will come, as may be possible,
that a great sensation is as mares
nest. And then may be considered
the pertinent query who has been
or who is to be exonerated?
It is sufficient to say that no man
charged and convicted Of crime can
be declared to be exonerated until
he shall have given proof positive
that he is guiltless Of the crime for
which he has been twice convicted

to the manhood of the State to rally

and thus rid the body polite of ma
chine and boss rule, which has per
petuated itself in power by the
usurpation of the rights Of the plain

With painstaking and enlightening

ployed to compass this end.
Judge Hall was given profound at

The vogue for fringe on outer gar

in fringe trimming for petticoats, says
the Dry Goods Economist. While this
form of finishing was brought out last
season it was not featured to any ex-
tent, but there is now a larger showing
of ruffies edged with fringe.
Messaline satin and taffeta skirts
show the fiounces trimmed with bands
of contrasting colors. In some in
stances they are arranged in pointed
fashion, but the more popular style is
the band arrangement Colored inserts
in Y, square and diamond shapes, APP
piled to the wide fiounces, give a bright
touch of color to the dark shade of the
garment.
Petticoats in pastel shades and white
show wide lace fiounces, in some cases
extending almost to the knees BY
way of variety the white satin skirt
