Early Election Returns.

Up to the time of going to press
sufficient returns have not been Sc
cured on the county election to in
dictate the final result in many cases
but on a couple of the fights the re-
suit is practically conceded. With
almost half the precincts heard from
Hanson, for County Superintendent
of Schools. is nearly 200 ahead of
his nearest opponent; Irwin, for
Treasurer. and Irvine. for Register
Of Deeds seem to be safely in the
lead. On the Office of Sheriff the
vote is so close that the result can
hardly he determined. Kyes is
slightly in the lead On the legisla-
tive ticket the large number of can
didates have so mixed the vote that
it is impossible to pick the winners.
At present Batter, Of Hazelton, is
leading the field, with Rowerdink
and Naramore close behind and
streeter about fifty votes further
down the line. The returns already
in. however. include Westfied, the
home Of the bulk of the Holland
Settlement, and practically solid for
Rowerdink aud his friends. The
Kidder county candidates are WE'LL
punched and so to 80 behind the En-
mons county candidates.
Little can be said of the candidates
for state offices but it is probable
that futile. for Congress, and Han
ma. for Governor, have carried the
county.

AROUND THE STATE

The Valley City band gives Sum
day afternoon concerts.
Owing to the wet spring there is
considerable land around Pembina
that will not be worked this year.
The farmer who was careful
enough to use only pure seed few
weeks ago has reason to be glad Of
it now
Lack of enthusiasm caused the
little bunch of boosters at Napoleon
to drop the idea of Fourth of July
celebration.
Forum: The scrap at the Chicago
convention between Gronna and
Marshall attracted attention all over
the state.
Farmers have begun to count the
cost of hauling their products to the
primary markets. The more they
figure, the more earnest advocates
they become of good roads.
Forum Andy Miller and the ST.
preme court evidently don't agree
on most things. The regularity with
which the court turns Miller down
must get under even his thick cpl
dermls.
Ii any one had an idea that the
farmers Of the state were not inter
estcd in better farming movements,
the attendance at the towns made by
the farmers institute trains would
disabuse their minds.
There is quite difference in the
appearance of North Dakota now
and last year at this time. The hot
winds commenced June 18th and
blew for three days. Things didn't
look good in some sections after
that.

Delegates to the number of 344
refrained from voting when Presi-
dent Taft was renominated. After
the adjournment of the convention a
gathering of these delegates was
held in another hall and initial steps
taken toward the formation of a
third party to be known as The
Progressive Party" No definite
action was taken, as it was thought
TO be the wisest course that the
Roosevelt delegates should go home
and ascertain the wishes of their
constituents. Then. If there was a
general demand for the new party
by the Roosevelt rank and-file, a
convention would be called in about
six weeks to nominate third candi-
date for President. The Democratic
national convention met in Balti-
more Tuesday. Monday the national
committee had met and. in spite of
the protest of w. j. Bryan, chosen
Judge Parker, former Democratic
candidate for President, as temper
airy chairman. The vote for Judge
Parker for temporary chairman was
81 to 20 for Senator Ollie James, of
Kentucky. Mr.. Bryan stated that
he would fight on the floor of the
convention the choice of Judge
Parker, and. if no one else satisfac-
tory TO the progressive wing Of the
party was willing to run for the po.
sition. he (Brayn) would himself be
a candidate for temporary chairman.
The Democratic leaders are working
hard to prevent a repetition of the
fight that took place in the Republi-
can convention.

told the following story: Count

camping on an expedition along the
old Pembina trail by the Snake riv

1865, with retinue of servants.

bodies. one Of white woman, evil

of nergess, buried close together.
Both bodies were in complete state
of petrifaction. The authorities

body is that of well-formed ne

years old. The features are clear

two arms lay crossed upon her
breast. Although the negress
weighed about 100 pounds in life,
the petrifed body weighed over 200

LOSING AND FINDING

There is a tremendous amount of
unclaimed property knocking about
the world. People leave umbrellas in
trains and handbags in taxicabs, and
books in trolley cars. When they dis
owe that their property Is missing
they do not. as a rule. make any effort
to trace it.
It's lost, and there's an end of it,
they say.
If they did but know how easy II Is
to reclaim mislaid articles they would
no give them up so eheerfprv.
Finding isn't keeping in any WELL
managed town, and ten to one IA car
conductor, taxi-driver or porter who
upon a mislaid article will
promptly forward it to a receiving
office, where it car be claimed.
If you leave anything in a train,
write to the central station of the
line on which you were travelling. De-
scribe your property; give the time
at which the train left your station,
and the place to which it was going.
and give your name and address.

you know there are hundreds of girls

that is now yours. Most assuredly go
back to school and prize every mo-

Attend the day session. for NOT only
does the time given permit of a more
thorough course than it is possible TO
give in the few hours in the evening,
but day work is much better in every
way than night work. Then, too, you
should leave the night classes to
those who find it impossible to attend
the day session.

with your studies you can do many
little things that will tighten the bur-
den of the busy mother. If YOU Will
try to be thoughtful and considerate
you can give more happiness IN a
short period than the thoughtless and
in~considerate daughter bestows upon
the family by hours of drudgery.
l know your parents will welcome
your decision to return to school.
Try to make them doubly proud OF
you by adding to your dutifulness as
a daughter close application and will
lingness as a student. You VIII n
that the high school days will be the
happiest of your life. You are old
enough now to give to your teachers
an appreciation of their efforts and TO
your schoolmates a friendship that
was impossible in your elementary
