ROSH HASHANAH SEPTEMBER %
Jewish New Year on That Date
Celebration Here.

Rosh Hashanah or New Years
lay marking the beginning Of the
Jewish year 5s72, falls this year on
saturday, the 23rd of September.
1t Is observed as a Holy day from
the evening Of Friday, the 2Sd, until
sundown Of Saturday. the 2sd. The
othodox Jew observes also the So
called second day." on the gath.
The Biblical basis for the obser-
vance OF the first day Of Tishri as
New Years day and the most solemn
day OF the Jewish calendar next to
Yom Kippur, or the Day of Atone
ment, Is found in the reference to a
Kikkaron ("memorial day") in Lev
iticus XIII. "a, which reads:
I'm the seventh month, in the first
day Of the month, shall We have a
Sabbath. a memorial of blowing Of
trumpets, a holy convocation."
Ezra also refers to the day as one
holy to the Lord" nehemiah viii
81
Not mere day Of rejoicing. like
the secular New Year, is this Rosh
Hashanah. II is day of memorial
or a day Of remembrance. reminding
the Jew Of the duty of self-examin-
alton and self-judgment. To arouse
the conscience to this solemn task
the ceremony Of sounding the Shofar
or rams horn forms an important
feature Of the service.

lifted THE SUGAR
With AID Of HELP

GRAND FORKS, N. D., July 90
Alec Murphy, driver for Nash Bros.
is in the county Jail awaiting his pre-
liminary hearing on charge of grand
larceny, and James Lambas, the Greek
proprietor of DeMers avenue restau-
rant. is out under $500 bond, charged
with knowingly receiving stolen prop
erty, as result of rather sensational
developments yesterday. Murphy ad-
mits having pi]fered something like
100 sacks of sugar from Nash Bros.
during the past six months. while Lam
bas is charged with having received
the stolen property. A search warrant
was gotten out yesterday and Lambas'
place was searched. Some OF the sugar
was found, although Lambas strenu-
ously denies having been mixed up
with anything that he knew was Grim
inal.
Murphy, however. has confessed and
there is a suspicion that Lambas was
acting as the ''fence" for a number
of others. Sensational developments
are expected as result of the arrest
yesterday and several people NAV be
implicated before the matter is "lea'cd
up.

POPULAR FALLACY
EXPLODED BY NATIONAL
Head Weather man

FARGO, N. d., July 20.-The popular
idea that the climate of this part of
the country has changed within the
last 25 or 35 years was shattered when
Mr.. Moore, chief of the United States
weather bureau. in an interview yes.
terday, stated that the coming of civil
ization had absolutely nothing to do
with the climate, and that it did not
affect it in any way
81 would advise the people of this
section of the country not to invest a
dollar in land with the idea that eli
matte conditions had changed" said
Mr. Moore. "All this talk about the
coming of civilization with railroads,
telegraphs and fences which effect the
electrical currents of the air is moth
ing but foolishness," continued Mr..
Moors.
"The rainfall of section of the
country is not controlled by anything
that man can do. The fact that men
come into new region and succeed
IN raising a crop is due to the fact that
the hard upper crust of the soil is
broken up and the same amount of
moisture that usually falls does more
good than before the land was cult
vated"
Mr.. Moore spoke at the Devils Lake
Chautauqua Sunday and in speaking
of his visit in that city he said: 81
was out on the lake for several hours
yesterday and, as you know. the shore
line has receded about six miles from
it's original bed. When asked the
reason of this. 7 pointed to long lin:
of elevators and replied that there was
their shore line. 1t took some time
before the party understood what l
meant. The fact that the prairie has
been broken up in that vicinity has
caused the moisture that fell to sink
into the ground and produce crops in
stead of running off the surface an':
making lake. Consequently the
shore line has receded.'
Mr.. Moore left yesterday aft 7rnooa !
for St. Paul. where he is to he enter.

luncheon today. He will speak in the
afternoon before the Teaching Sisters

pleased with the condition OF every
hing. An endeavor was mad" to get
him to speak last evening al the far,

.lined the invitation.

WILL ANNIHlLA1E DISTANCE
BY MEANS OF TELEPHONE

GLENDIVE, Mont, July 20.-Anoth-
er move to annihilate distance and to
bring the Twin Cities and Montana
into closer business communication
is about to be made in the construc-
ton of long distance telephone line
from Terry, Mont, to Marmarth, N.
D., both towns being important points
on the Milwaukee and Puget Sound
railroad
This project is being undertaken by
the Montana Eastern Telephone COM
pany, concern financed by Glendive
capital and differed by local business
men. In all probability, however, the
new line will eventually be handled
under separate incorporation. It is
now being pushed by the Montana
Eastern company, as tie result of a
special meeting of stockholders held
in this city few days ago.
The "Terry-Marmarth cutoff" as
it is already being called, will be an
important line in many ways. 1t will
be constructed of No. 10 copper wire,
with phantom coils at regular inter-
walls, giving the greatest possible ef-
ficiency. Its length will be 81 miles,
and it will shorten the long distance
telephone connection between Mon
tana and the Twin Cities by 145 miles.
Ismay and Baker are among the i'm
port towns now without long dis.
tance connection of any sort, that will
be directly served by t!'is new line.
About year ago the Montana East
ern Telephone filled in big gap"
in telephone communication, east and
west. by constructing copper circuit
from Glendive to Billings, a distance
of 226 miles. That line was consid-
cred one of the most important tele-
phonic projects ever completed in the
west. The new line from Terry to
Marmarth will be of hardly less i'm
portance in view of the fact that it
completes long distance connections
for so large and important a territory
as that lying between Montana and
St. Paul

SMOOTH IS antonio
BUT NOT TOO SMOOTH

FARGO, N. D.. July 20-Anton
Glaserno attempted new stunt in the
way of getting money from the unsus-
pecting and it is believed that he OBJ.
tained considerable before he was
finally landed by the police.
Glaserno's stunt was a new one. His
scheme was to sell $40 per 900 cigars
at great reduction. His method was
to go into a store or business house
and asked if the owner smoked and
then he would draw out cigar from
a box he had with him and offer it to
the man. The cigar he offered was of
the gilt-edged type and must have cost
close to $10O thousand. He then
offered the cigars he had with him to
the man at from SO a hundred up to
81, his general price being $4 and S.
He succeeded in selling 900 cigars to
one man at IS hundred and to an
other, two boxes at 81.
An examination of the boxes after
he had left disclosed the fact that the
cigars in the full boxes were nothing
more nor less than tenement made
cigars that can be bought wholesale
at from $40 to $13 thousand.
Anton was fined SIS and told to sin
no more-in Fargo.

INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE
L|KELYTOCOME IN vogue

SPOKANE, WASH, July 20.-"Every
state in the Union will have some
form of industrial insurance within
the next ten years for the relief OF
workers injured at hazardous occupa-
tions,' is the prediction made Wy
George A. Lee, chairman of the state
commission to administer the work
mans compensation act in Washing
ton, effective on October l. 1911, at
a meeting of manufacturers in this
city. "The law he added, "is not
designed to work hardship on any
one. though It will hurt the casualty
companies. On the other hand, it is
generally believed the new system
will create a better feeling between
the employe and employer and result
in establishing the principle of state
industrial insurance on practical
economic basis. The legislature has
appropriated $15O.00O to bear the ex-
pense of administering the law.
which provides that each of the in
dustries listed shall contribute GER
tain percentage of its payroll to an
accident fund, from which various
amounts will be paid for total or part
disability, or on death, to the family
or dependents of the workman. Not
a penny of this fund can be used for
other purposes"

PETTY DISTURBANCES
keep THE POLICE BUSY

The last "a hours have been very
busy ones for the local police, scarce
ly an hour passing that there was not
a call of some description. The city
seems to be full of hoboes and men OF
bad character. Mcdonald says there
is not room for them all at the Jail
and the best he can do is to kick them
out of town. He has kicked until he
is tired of it and still they seem to
come in. Reports have come in from
all over the city from nervous people
who have heard men prOWling around
their homes and even in some cases
entered. The police are advising
everyone to take ordinary precautions
in keeping tkeir doors locked as there
are a lot of questionable characters
roaming around the city.
The home Of Frank Buick, at the
corner CT Ninth street and Avenue c
was entered Monday night or Tuesday
morning and some Rogers knives,
forks and spoons and a silver tea set
consisting OF sugar bowl and teapot,
were stolen. Mr.. Buick is travelling
man and did not learn of the affair
until told by Mrs. Buick upon his re-
turn from trip Wednesday. He at
cnce reported the loss to the police,
who are working on the case.
There was a police call to the Stein
metz residence last night. Officer
Downing responded and after looking
tor some time failed to discover any
trace OF man supposed to be proWling
around tie neighborhCod. There was
a similar call TO a residence at the
corner Of Mandan and Rosser ave-
nues.
The fire department was called out

REITH IS very MUTE
ON SUBJECT Of ARREST

MILES CITY, Mont, July 20.-Dep-
utv Sheriff Ralph Washburn returned
last night from Bismarck with Asath
Reith in custody and his prisoner IS
today in the county jail.
The sheriff has been searching for
Reitn for several months and Deputy
Sheriff Washburn has been following
numerous clues in the hope of getting
the man.
Reitl: is wanted here on the charge
of criminal conspiracy to defraud
creditors.
Reith and Said Ferris were part
ners in the Leader store in the Jack
son building during the fall of 1909
and until early in 1910.
The store was closed by the sheriff
and on investigation it was found
that the stock consisted of lot of
boxes so arranged on the shelves as
to makeit appear that the room was
filled with goods.
Ferris and Joseph Abraham, the lat
ter an employe of the store, were ar
rested for fraud and forfeited their
bonds.
Reith disappeared and since that
time has been sought by the sheriff.
1t is claimed by the creditors of the
firm that Reith was the responsible
party as it is believed he turned over
the missing goods to outsiders.
Reitt made no statement when ar
rested on description by Bismarck Of
ficers. nor did he talk when returned
to Miles City last night by Deputy
Washburn.
