AN OLD SPANISH CUSTOM.
Police Still Gall Out the Hours of the

Police Still Call Out the Hours of the
 Might at Los Arenas.
 Most of the ancient Spanish customs have long since died out, but one is still maintained here, in the village of Los Arenas, near Bilbao, and all light sleepers will, think, be with me in saying that this could be very well done without, says the British consul at BilbOa.
 The custom consists of the "serenOs'' (night policemen) calling out the hours and state of the weather every night, commencing at midnight and finishing at 5 o'clock a. m. I said "caIing," but shouting would really be more correct. One Is reused by one of these loud voiced policemen singing out beneath the bedroom win. dow, "Las doce, sereno!" c'Twelve o'clock, flne weather.O
 By 4 o'clock the weather has prob ably changed, and it may be raining and blowing a regular hurricane, state of things in itself enough to wake any man up. Yet you are cheer fully informed of the fact by the DO hceman shouting, Las cuatro, ilOVien. dol! C'Four o'clock, raining.O
 Many inhabitants have tried in vain to get this stopped. for no useful pur pose whatever is served by the cus- tom, except, perhaps, to the Spanish Bill Sikes, who considers it a very useful guide to the whereabouts of the police.

CENSUS IS
225 MORE THAN
1871
Gratifying Growth Shown in
House to House Count
in This City.

Grand Forks has 225 more children
of school age this year than the city
had in the yea 1911. This fact was
shown this morning when the totals
for the annual school census were
completed and turned v to the
board of education by Bruce McDon-
aid who has been spending the pas,
several months on the census.
Following the completion Of the
house canvass. by Mr.. Mcdonald. a
committee of four. with Miss Beatrice
tombstone as chairman, checked and
rechecked the count and the final re-
suits show the following figures:
Total number of children Of school
age in the city of Grand Forks. 4.1l4.
Total number last year. $3.50.
Number of boys this year, 1000.
Number of girls. 1904.
White pupils. 1907.
Colored pupils. II.
The increase Of 225 owe the figures
Of 1911 are gratifying to those inter
ested In the progress of the city and
the schools. Last year our figures led
those of Fargo by a comfortable mar
gin. and this year will probably do
the same, unless the Cass county seat
shows a remarkable increase.

SAYS THIRD PARTY
IS GAINING
GROUND
A. Y. More Says Call fol
Mass Convention in this
State is Nearly Due.

A. Y. More of Fargo. head of the
third party movement in North Da-
kota, has the following to say con-
corning the third party movement.
according to a dispatch from Fargo:
II a see no honest basis for the
claim that the new party movement
is not gaining ground. From reports
coming to me from South Dakota.
Iowa and Minnesota there is every
evidence of a great increase in senti-
ment for the new progressive move-
ment. North Dakota progressives are
steadily enrolling themselves under
the banner Of the new party and I
have received in the past few days a
number of letters from leading pro-
gressive republicans who state that
they are in hearty sympathy with the
movement and that their votes and
influence can be counted on.
During the past week large num-
bers Of prominent Scandinavian pro-
gressive republicans who were pres
ent at the Sons of Norway convention
and the sangerfest expressed their
hearty sympathy with the movement.
With practical unanimity they are
solidly against Taft and being repub-
licans. prefer to work out the prob
lens which confront North Dakotans
in the progressive republican ranks
from the new party "A
number Of announcements may be
expected in the coming weeks that
will prove of interest to all progress
sives in the state.
CAS- a matter of fact everything
points to a complete success for the
progressive movement. A number of
North Dakota newspapers have vol
unteered to support the ticket. to be
selected in North Dakota and a fineGp
will be presented that will meet with
the unqualified approval of all pro-
igressives. Nationally the influence of
the movement can be seen in the re-
suits of the only state convention held
since the Chicago conventions; South
Dakota turned down Taft by three to
one and r%epudiated the Chicago o
vention. Iowa turned. down Taft.
censured the Chicago convention and
placed itself straightforwardly in the
progressive ranks. The results in
Iowa are significant as a majority of
the Iowa delegates in the Chicago
convention were instructed to vote
for Taft.
THE call for the mass convention
to nominate candidates in North Da-
kota will be issued in a few days and
IN invitation to all progressives to
participate in the movement will be
one of it's most important phazes."

DISMISSED CASE
Suit Against States Attorney Ha

Bowman. N. D., July 15.-A hearing
was had before Judge Crawford at
Dickinson last Wednesday morning in
the case of dollhouse and Bennett VS..
e. p. Totten in which the latter was
defendant in a suit seeking to disbar
him from the practice Of law. The
hearing was given for the purpose of
having the plaintiffs show cause as to
why this suit should not be dismissed.
The plaintiffs afiling to appear Judge
Crawford dismissed the action.
1t will be remembered that this &C
ton was begun for the purpose Of an
noying and i~ntimidating the states at

Phelan a warrant against the editor
Of this paper for criminal libel, having
been informed by the attorney gener-
ais Office that a prosecution on the

states attorney to return to dollhouse
and Bennett the two thousand dollars
which they had forfeited to the coun-

charge Of blind. plugging. This. the
states attorney refused to do and II
is believed by. many that this was the
reason for instttuting. the action, for
diebarment and removal from office.
