For the purpose of providing fund
for two additional normal schools in
this state similar to the funds now in
existence for the two present schools,
Congressman P. D. Norton of the
Third district of North Dakota, has
introduced bill in the lower house
Of Congress authorizing the board Of
university and school lands of this
state to select zoe, 1000 acres of the un-
appropriated and unoccupied lands Of
the United States within the boundary
of this state for the use Of these in
stitutions. The bill provides that one
of these schools must be located west
of the Missouri river and the other
one included in the bill is the normal
school at Minot.
One hundred thousand acres will go
to each school and the proceeds of
the sale of this land are to remain for
ever a fund for the use of the insti-
tutions. The bill also provides that
none of this land is to be sold for less

Blanche Fridd, whose life was lost in
the sinking of the State of California
off the coast Of Alaska, was held this
afternoon with impressive, though sim
ple' ceremonies, from the family resi-
dence on First street.
The services were conducted by the
Rev. Willard Crosby Lyon, pastor Of
the First Congregational church, and
the Rev. Charles Willis Harris, pastor
of the First Presbyterian church OF
Bismarck.
There were selections of scripture
and prayer, followed by quartet,
''Thy Will Be Done" sung by the
Mesdames Froysaa and Craswell, and
the Messrs. Meyer and Hollis
In his remarks, Mr.. Harris paid a
splendid tribute to Miss Fridd.
The following poem was read:
christus consoIator
Beside the dead l knelt for prayer,
And felt presence as prayed.
Lo! it was Jesus standing there.
He smiled: BE not afraid"
Lord, Thou hast conquered death, we
know;
Restore again to life," said,
This one who died an hour ago."
He smiled: "She is not dead!"
"Asleep then as thyself didst say;
Yet thou canst lift the lids that keep
Her prisoned eyes from ours away!"
He smiled: "She doth not sleep!"
"Nay then, tho haply she do wake,
And look upon some fairer dawn,
Restore her to our hearts that ache!"
He smiled: "She is not gone!"
"Alas! too we'll we know our loss,
Nor hope again our Joy to touch,
Until the stream of death we cross"
He smiled: There is no such!"
"Yet our beloved seem so far,
The while we yearn to feel them
near,
Albeit with thee we trust they are"
He smiled: "And I am here!"
''Dear Lord, how shall we know that
they
Still walk unseen with us and thee,
Nor sleep, nor wander far away?"
He smiled: "Abide in mel"
The quartet then sang ITO Thee, o
Lord" which was followed by the ben
ediction.
At the grave in connection with
the committal service the quartet
sang the hymn asleep in Jesus"
Preceding the interment the grave
was lined with sweet peas by mem
bers Of the P. e. o. and the Eastern
Star, of which Miss Fridd was mem.
Der. The faculty of the Normal
school sent blanket of sweet peas
and tire grave was banked with pro-
fusion of beautiful flowers from many
sympathizing friends and relatives.

HARVEST HAND RELIEVED OF
BUNCH OF CASH AND STORE
IS ROBBED.
From TUESDAYS Daiy.)

The first visit of yeggmen to this
city occurred on Friday night about
midnight when a harvest hand was re-
lieved of about sixty dollars. No clue
has so far been found and the victim
himself is not able to give clear
description of the crooks.
Sunday night between the hours Of
one and two o'clock the City Meat
Market was entered by two yeggmen
They carried out the cash register
and planted it into pile of weeds,
then entered the Wilkie blacksmith
shop and securing the necessary tools
returned to where they had planted
their loot, and began operations to
secure the contents. BY damaging the
register beyond repair they succeeded
in opening the machine, and taking
about four dollars in silver, leaving
about fifty to seventy-ive cents all
in pennies in the machine. There
is no clue, but the supposition is that
it is the work of tourists. There has
been more or less gambling going on
in empty box cars in the railroad
yards at this place for some time past,
and unless this is corralled many more
depredations of a like nature is sure
to occur. To play poker in open de"
fiance Of the law is a drawing card
for the worst class Of criminals.
