SCHOOL MATTER At rARoo

The school matter at Fargo is
the one prominent topic in the
daily papers Of that city AMI all
over the official head uf the 10
cal schools. A majority of the
school board has apparently de-
fled the wishes Of the citizens and
selected a man for the place, dis
charging the present superintend
ent who has the people with him
and it would not be surprising to
see a new board elected this
spring that will reverse the action
of the present board, and such
things have happened in Fargo.

PARAMOUNT Ann
VGDlEN RAIL road

On Tuesday evening, February
II, some fifty Of our citizens gath
cred at the Commercial club rooms
to hear about the new railroad
from Veblen.
Our secretary had received
word the night before that j.
Rosholt, who is to build the road.
would be in Paramount and ex-
plain the situation. An attempt
was made. to get. the word to
everyone as it was public meet
ing.
Mr.. Rosholt explained that here
was an exceedingly rich territory
forty miles or more square which
had been without railroad faci-
lities for twenty years because 3
different roads, touching tho out
skirts, were getting the business
by letting the farmers and busi-
ness men haul to and from them
rather to build in and fight for
the business.
The Veblen men had found a
man who could raise 2-3 of the
money if they would raise the 1-3
and they had now got so far along
with their subscription that they
felt assured of success. He had
therefore come to Fairmount to
ask the citizens of FairmOunt tD
boost for the road and to aid
them in getting right of way
and terminal grounds. He asked
for no donations but in view OF
the fact that Veblen was Offering
big inducements for round house
and Offices and that Oswald was
three miles nearer and therefore
$25,o00.00 to s30,000.OO cheaper
TO build to, he asked if Fairmount
could not subscribe for sufficient
6 per cnet. bonds to buy terminal
grounds and thereby be assured
of round house and offices which
would bring with it some ten OF
fifteen families and also the busi-
ness incident TO such being loca-
ted here.
Another thing is the boosting
asked for. He finds not all easy
sailing as he meets with much
opposition. The towns on tho
border of this tract of farming
land which have heretofore reap
ed the business are not boosting
for a railroad which will take
the business away from them. On.
the other hand they find these
towns throwing cold water on the.
enterprise.
Cannot Fairmount, as a COM
munity, now unite for the largest
common good of the town that
has presented itself for years and
boost for this road and if it needs
subscription for bonds will there
not be public spirited business
men enough TO step up and secure
a bigger Fairmount.
A temporary committee of FIVE
was appointed at the meeting b
confer with Mr.. Rosholt when he
returns in ten days and try and!
work with him. The committee
was: L. N. Abbott, VIM. Dahl
quist, G. E. Ballard, N. H. Green
man and w. C. Moulton.

HEARD FLUTE 400 MILES OFF
Captain of Steamer Soifeis Reports
y Odd Incident of Wireless While
at Sea.

Philadelphia. An unprecedented
phenomena in wireless telephone and
telegraphy was told by Captain
Schmidt of the German steamship Sol
fels, who reports while bound from
Calcutta and Ceylon to Philadelphia
he heard the clear notes of a flute
at ST. Michaels, 395 miles distant
from the Solfels. On the night of Sep
TENDER 20, Wireless Operator Blitz
called Captain. Schmidt's as well as
Chief Officer Lampe's attention , the
fact that some one was playing on the
flute, the notes of which were clear
and distinct TO both Operator Biitz and
Chief officer Lampe. AS the nearest
land, the Azore islands. was approx
mately 400 miles away, all hands were
interested to know where the music
came from. The music continued, and
a wireless TLessage was sent to St
Michaels, the capital of the Azores A
reply stated that it was a national hol-
iday and tina man at the flute was
playing God Save the King"
AS the wi. eless apparatus on the
Solfels was CT the Tellefunken type,
which is practically a telephone and
wireless telesraphy outfit combined,
there was no .rouble in detecting the
sound, although long dista ice away.

Death in FlVe-Story
Fall.

Paris.-The concierge of house in

of a fall In the courtyard the other
morning. Rushing out. he found the
body of Nine. Coquelet. a fifth floor

baby crying close by. On being car.
ried to a hospital the woman died i'm.
mediately, but the child was miracu

Coquelet was still In bed when his
wife rose to make the coffee, and the
next thing he heard was that the body
had been found below the kitchen win
dow, out of which she must have
thrown herself with the baby clasped
in her arms. The only explanation of.
fered by the widower is that his wife
must have been laboring under a fit OF

slightest motive for her taking her

ORANGES AND LEMONS
THEIR USEFULNESS AND VALUE
IN THE HOUSEHOLD.
As Foundations for Dishes, and as Fla
voring, They Are Essentially De-
sirabIe In the household
Menu.

Enormous numbers OF oranges are
being imported into our markets now;
and they are Of the greatest value to
Us. for their wholesome acids are
greatly needed by persons who eat as
much meat as we do.
This month we find many blood
oranges and these are of extra fine
flavor. They are produced by grating
orange slips into pomegranate stocks
and this fruit is greatly priced by cpl
cures; unfortunately these gratis do
not bear so profusely as the true
orange tree.
Orange marmalade is the favorite
preserve of orange lovers; the Scotch
recipe for this dainty las been given
in this column before, but the follow
ing recipes will be found to be super.
latively good.
English grated orange marmalade:
Crate the yellow rind off the orange,
but do not CRATE in any of the bitter
white lining Press the orange pulp
through sieve and add pint of wa
ter to every four pounds of fruit. Mix
pound of sugar in for every pound
of fruit and boil thirty minutes.
Small oranges crystallized: Remove
the skin and white lining from smaiI
oranges and take care not to break the
sections apart or to puncture the skin
for all the juice may stay in.
Thread a sterilized needle with
white linen thread and run through
the center of each orange so it may
be suspended.
Make heavy frosting with powder
ed sugar and the white of eggs and
dip the oranges into it by the thread
so every part is covered.
Now hang the frosted oranges on a
stick SO they do not touch one another
and suspend in a hot oven to dry.
When the frosting is firm they are
done. These little comfts are very
pretty in boxes of homemade sweet
meat.
Two recipes have been received for
using lemons from a reader OF this
section who is SO fortunate as to own
a lemon grove in California. One is
for preserved lemon peel Peel the
yellow rind from the lemons with as
little white fiber as possible, Make a
thick strip of sugar and water and
simmer the peel in it, In half hour
the rind will be tender and may be
put in small glasses and covered with
the strip and then sealed with par
'affin. The othe=recipe will be useful
when lemons are at their lowest price:
it is for preserving lemon juice
Roll the lemons and squeeze all the
juice from them; strain it through
very fine muslin so no pulp goes
through. Have perfectly clean bottles
waiting, with new corks. Pour the
Juice in until within half an inch from
the top. Now pour or thin layer Of
paraffin; when this hardens cork tight
ly and keep in cool place.
This correspondent says that the
Juice will keep perfectly fresh until
used.
