sired.

educational advantages of today with
those of few years previous.
Miss Hillesheim was very interesting
in her talk on Idols and Ideals" using
customs and beliefs of the Chinese
people for illustrations.
Robert Hill said it was all right to
bluff if you were prepared to have
your bluff called but he did not admire
people who made blufine habit,
Elliot Freeman told how sacred the
Blarney stone was to the Irish people
and what the kissing of it meant, al.
though he preferred something more re-

should do.

NEARLY KILLED HOLMAN
ina ROW At BElFIELD

Word was flashed to T. F. Murtha,
states attorney, early Wednesday even
ing that Jerry Holman had possibly re-
ceived fatal injuries at the hands of
John Kriegl in row at the garage at
Belfeld.
Mr.. Murtha took No. S for Bel6eld,
returning Thursday forenoon. He
thought that if the man had received
fatal injuries it would perhaps be pos
sible to get statement from him on
his death bed.
As near as can be learned John
Kriegl, who served a term the past year
for blind pigging. and Jerry Holman.
single man, who came out from the east
about two months ago. were employed
by Barney Sjntegard on his farm out
from Belield, the former driving
team and the latter running plow rig.
The laborers went to Belfield. probab-
ly owing to the rainy weather, and
Wednesday morning they are said to
have received a jug of whiskey on No.
from the west. Both were drinking
but not so much they did not know
what they were doing. Mr.. Sintegard
tried to have the men accompany him
home but they would not.
1t was about S o'clock when Kriegl
struck Holman over the head with, the
spoke of an engine drive wheel. an
iron about an inch in diameter and S
it. long. A deep cash inches long
was inflicted, cracking the outer skull
bone. The first blow brought Holman to
the floor and Krieel hit him twice after
he was down, 80 it is said.
Holman refused 10 let Krieel ride his
horse which is the only provocation
for the murderous assault so far as
known.
Aolman did not fully regain conscious
ness until about a O'Clock Thursday
morning.
Deputy W. E. King made the arrest,
finding Kriesl some miles from Bel
field, apparently getting away as fast as
be could. He was lodged in the viii
laee jail.
i Mr.. Murtha expected to 60 to Belfield
Friday evening on No. 7, where he
hoped to be able to conduct the hearing
before Oscar Simonson, village justice.
and return to Dickinson on No. 6.
Jerry Holman is single man and 1t
is believed that he will recover from
his serious injuries

Has the Northern Pacific Aban-
doned the River Grade Line?
Surveyors Still Working
in Dunn County.

For some days there have been per-
sistent rumors that the Northern Pacific
would abandon its Missouri river line
in the country north and instead of run
ming through into Mckenzie county and
on to Sidney. build along Spring creek
and the Little Knife river country in
Dunn county.
Surveyors have been working in the
country north of Manning and Fayette
for some time. II the company was 10
construct line through the central por-
tion of Dunn county il might not be
found feasible to attempt to cross the
Bad Lands.
From good authority it seems that the
Great Northern has plans for crossing
the river at Elbowoods and running
through Mckenzie county and in 10 Mon
tana. A Schafer dispatch has this to
say regarding the matter THE Great
Northern railroad has finally decided
on its route through Mckenzie county,
having abandoned the Little Missouri
river survey and getting crews busy on
rushing to completion the line surveyed
along the Cherry, Lonesome and Char
bonneau creeks. The route chosen will
necessitate larger outlay of money
but it opens up better country, and
in the estimation of Chief Engineer A.
H. Hogeland and Assistant Engineer J.
M. Phillips who came here from St.
Paul to make the selection. 1t will re-
suit in bringing the company the big
gest amount of business.
This would look as though the Great
Northern had changed the supposed
plans of the Northern Pacific and was
going to parallel the pioneer line for
some distance in Montana, possibly to
Helena. II this be the case the N. P.
territory will be considerably narrowed
down, and the Stanton extension might
not be more than rs or 80 miles.

TO GRADUATING CLASS

Because of the inclement weather
the attendance at the union baccalaure.
ate services at the hiah school auditor.
ium last Sunday evening was not as
large as it would otherwise have been.
1 ReY. A. c. Hacke OF the First Con-
sresational church, Rev. j. S. Bray
fe}ds of St. Johns Episcopal church..
Rev. John Dignam of St. Patrick's
church and Rev. F. H. Farrand of St.
Paul's Methodist church, also Supt BERG
were seated on the rostrum. The choirs
also had their places on the rostrum
and the combined musical talent from
these churches made splendid chorus.
They SANG very beautifully the an
them Prepare Ye the Way"
The address of the evening was de-
livered by Rev. A. C. Hacke, who said
in part:
1.-The human race are all seekers.
Man is always reaching up or reaching
out for things which he has not. Differ
ent people seek for different things but
all seek for something, and it is we'll
for us to adhere to bible instruction and
''see first the kingdom of heaven.
This means that we are to look first
after our character and our conduct.
We gain success only by right doing
and if we lead life of pure motives
and righteousness we have our reward
even if the world calls us failure.
A prospector is an example of per-
sistent searcher, yet he often times uses
much energy for nothing. In seeking
after conduct and character we are al
ways sure of success. that is. we be-
come better beings for the search near
er to God and all that is good and are
better able to extend the sympathies
which our friends require of US.
Our lives depend much on our early
thoughts as does our mood or thoughts
in the morning govern our moods
throughout the day.
Mr.. Hacke admonished the ella that
they look for the things of value in
this world and put these things first.
In their school work they have learned
to master many difficult lessons and
problems which make the temptations
and difficult places all the more easy to
overcome. as

where Is A. N. knI6n.
TOOK MONEY With HIM

A. M. Knight, of the firm of Gollis &
knight of Fargo, has disappeared and
many are the conjectures as to the
cause of his disappearance. He left
New York about the 5th of the month
with 500. 900 or more, worth of railroad
stocks that he was to sell. and $25, 900
worth of which belonged to W. c. COL
lis, we'll known stockman and farmer
southeast of Sentinel Butte. who is a
brother-in-law of Mr.. Knight. Mr.. Collis
was in town yesterday from the ranch
and stated to the Republican that he
had implicit confidence in Mr.. knight
and did not believe that he had gone
wrong or skipped with the funds al
though he could not help being worried
by the reports that are being circulated.
Certain it is that Mr.. Knight has not
been heard from for nearly two weeks
and the fact that he carried 80 large an
amount of valuable securities with him
has led to the belief that he has either
absconded or become suddenly insane
or drugged in New York.-Sentinel
Butte Republican.
The disappearance of knight has a
local interest for PRESS readers as
Mrs. Knight was known in Dickinson
as Clara Collis. She is sister to Ell
mer Coils, the Yeoman organizer.
and also of w. c. Collis. well-to-do
fancher in Billings county. The Collis
family lived in Dickinson for number
of years and for a time conducted a
store business here, occupying the old
Fennell building on First Ave. w. and
also part of what is now the St. Char
les hotel.
From the Fargo papers it is learned
that A. NJ. Knight formed partnership
about year ago with j. H. Collis.
brother of his wife, who had made
quite sum of money ranchine in Nor
ton county. knight was state treasurer
of the Eagles, Red Men and other or
ders. His shortage estimated $40. 600
to $50. 600. He had large sums of money
entrusted to him for investment. The
stocks which Knight was reported to
have taken to New York were reported
in the Fargo papers as being wireless
telegraphy securities.
Mrs. Knight, i. is said; believes that
her husband became insane or met with
foul play.

WILL give SIMPSON
VERY LARGE VOTE
A Mandan paper says

A Mandan paper says:
A republican who has covered this
county pretty thoroughly during the
past few weeks is authority for the
statement that a tremendous vote will
be given Hon. I. A. Simpson for con-
gress in the primaries next month. Mr..
Simpson has been too busy with his
business affairs to give very much atten-
tion to his campaign but within the
next few weeks will cover the district
and speak In many places. His vote
all through the west slope country will
be large, for he is we'll and favorably
known, and his long service in the
state senate fits him especially for q
congressional career. s

OUR PARKS
LOOK fine
Dickinson Has Three Public Parks
and Some 5000 Growing
Trees. Pines Were
Set This Year.

The city park board composed Of Dan
Manning, Frank Lish and Dr.. V, H.
Stickney has been busy the past spring
and set, over /. 600 trees. This board
has the care of trees in the Young park,
also the Simpson park in the eastern
part of Dickinson and the City park
at the water tower just west of St.
Joseph's hospital.
Considering the feet that the work of
setting trees was started only two years
ago, the showing is most excellent.
This year the board has set 800 ash.
800 elm. and 800 Lombardy poplars in
the Young park. making some over
5000 trees in all that have been set in
that park. The first setting two years
ago was in an outer belt and this year
an inner belt, little higher up on the
hill. was planted.
In addition to setting the trees mem
toned the board got 200 Seeding pines
of W. j. Follis from the Roosevelt re-
serve in the Bad Lands. These native
evergreens were divided about equally
for the three parks.
Some of our readers will remember
that James c. Young created park
board for Marguerite Boulevard and en-
trusted fund of $500 to the keeping
of said board for the planting of trees
and the beautifying of said street. The
board as appointed consisted of Go. M.
Frye, chairman, Dr.. v. H. Stickney,
secretary. and Dan Manning. Mr.. Young
has not filled the vacancy caused by
the death of Mr.. Frye. However.
Messrs. Manning and Stickney started
park work this year by setting IFS trees
on the circle. The land was broken last
year and it is expected that in anoth el
year the owners of lots on the circle
will set trees under the general super:
vision of the board.
The circle on Marguerite Boulevard is
on the fiat few blocks north of Alder
man Crawiord's home.
There is nothing that makes a city
more attractive or enhances the value
of property more than public parks, and
in this particular Dickinson can point
with pride to her three parks.
Young's park. the eminence at the
head of Marguerite Boulevard, consists
Of Is acres, and was free gift to the
city from James c. Young, the only re-
quest from the donor beng that the city
should from time to time set trees, cul-
tivate and keep same: in good con-
dition. Senator Simpson gave the east
side park, full block, which legally
bears his name. the same as the Young
park. The city also promised to set out
and care for trees in this park. The
City park is in the block purchased by
the city for the water tower.
If some one in South Dickinson would
give tract for park on the river bot
tom it would be very nice thing and
would be the means Of providing all
quarters of the city with park grounds.

THE COMING PRIMARIES

1 One week from today the citizens
of California will have their first op-
portunity to express their preferences
for president of the United States. 1t
is an opportunity that in itself signl-
fies progress toward the ideal of popu-
lar government. and there can be no
doubt that in this state the people will
express their verdict in favor of a
progressive policy. At these pri-
maries the comparatively few women
who designated their party affiliation
when they registered will vote with
the men.
In the Republican ranks it is as near
a certainty as can be that the over
whelming vote will be for Roosevelt,
but in the Democratic party Hearst is
doing his utmost to turn the state
over to Clark, who is not progress
sive and who is remaining silent dur
ing the stirring days of the campaign.
Whether this influence will prevent
the California Democrats going to
Wilson, the progressive, remains TO
be seen. 1t has happened in Califor-
mia that Hearst's influence was mega
tive and against him is Bryan's in
fuence in favor of Wilson.

HosT EXPENSIVE OF PAPERS

AVA 1t costs more TO produce YARD
of silk than of cotton. For the same
reason it costs vastly more 10 pro-
duce a real newspaper than an imita-
ton. From the beginning the eX-
pense of producing the Press has
risen steadily with its Improvements
in telegraph and other services. until
today it costs more than twice as
much as any daily paper in the valley
had cost up to year ago.
Meanwhile. the circulation of the
Press has so increased that more than
double the number of people read il
each day who never before read
valley newspaper.
The Press today is. therefore. like
two yards of silk compared with the
one yard of cotton that preceded it.
This is said because, from time 10
time, it has been found necessary to
increase the revenue as an offset to
the increased expense.
This is in line with the determina-
ton of the Press TO produce. not the
bigCest paper. but the best paper in
the interior of California, which can
not be done in full until it has been
made sufficiently of revenue produc-
er 10 make that possible.
From the advertisers point of view
it is immensely better TO have a small
paper of high character, read by
everybody than TO have a newspaper
that does not command either respect
or circulation.
