police item that she was arrested
the first of the week for keeping a

E. Schelling, Phi. T., l.. L. D., profess
sor of English literature, University
of Pennsylvania, have just been is
sued by the American Book company.
This series, of which the three VOL
llmes above mentioned are the first to
be issued, aims to present a scholarly
and satisfactory edition of repre5en-
tative plays of the great English wri-
tiers, outside of Shakespeare, from
the later years of the reign of Queen
Elizabeth to the latter part of the
eighteenth century. The volumes are
attractive in appearance and mex
pensive in price.
In many respects this edition dif-
fers widely from any other already
published. The plays in each volume
were selected with reference to tnelr
actual worth and general interest, as
well as because they represent the
best efforts of their authors in the
different varieties of dramas to which
each has devoted his attention. The
texts follow the authoritative old edl-
lions, but with such occasional depar-
lures as the results of recent critical
scholarship demand. Spelling and
punctuation have been modernized,
and obsolete and occasional words re-
ferred to the glossaries. This makes
the volumes suitable for the average
reader as we'll as for the advanced
scholar.
Lois Morton's Investment by
Eva Morley Murphy, is a book with
a Kansas moral and a Kansas plot.
The purpose of the story is to show
the domestic wrecks caused by in
toxicating drink. Samuel Smith, the
hero has an inherited tendency to-
ward liquor, forfeits the respect OF
his wife, and the love of his son. Lois
Morton. his wife, insists that they
come to the Sunf1ower state. Even
here Smiths passionate love of liquor
is not destroyed; finally, through
agony, he realizes his awful error,
pulls himself together and reclimbs
Fte ladder leading to mems esteem
The end of the book is eminently
satisfactory from a romantic stand
point.
The best part of the book is the
first. wherein children's plays and
promises are prettily told. Lois and
her roly-poly sister, Katie, are a
lovable pair. An old fashioned spell
ing bee and surprise party are quaint
ly described. The book is published
by Crane & Co. of Topeka.

MEETING
Club Takes Action to Start Base
Ball Team for Wahpston.

At a special meeting of the
Booster Club held last Friday
evening, the matter of a base
ball team for Wahpeton for the
coming year was discussed.
The team is to be composed of
h O m e players and it was
thought best not to support any
hired players unless it was ab-
solutely necessary. A com nit
tee composed of three members
was elected and made their re-
port to the Club at the regular
meeting last night. The com
mittee elected wa g: w. A.
Farnsworth, e. D. Rittenhouse
and w. p. Robbins.

A meeting of the assessors
of the county was called for
Wednesday, April 10th. Many
of the assessors from the differ
ent townships in the county
were present. The object of the
meeting was to get a uniform
assessment of personal proper.
ty ell over the county. Another
that was of con siderable inter.
est to the assessors was the
new law requiring the as
SCISSORS to secure voters affi-
davits as to their party af6ilia-
tions and the upholding of this
land by the Supreme Court of
the state.
This law is to prevent per.
sons belonging to our party, to
vote another party ticket at the
primary elections.
