TOWNSHIP OFFICES
ARE NOW ABOLISHED
AFTER, THE FOURTH OF OCTOBER
WORK WILL BE DONE BY THE
BOARD OF COMM SSlONERS.

On the fourth day of October the
township officers Of the county Will
20 out of office and their duties will
be performed in the future by the
board of county commissioners.
The commissioners will appoint one
road supervisor in each township, who
will have the general management OF
the roads of that township, but all
claims must be presented to the COM
missioners, and all payments must be
made by them, just as the same is
now done in county matters. The
township will have until the 25th
day of October to finish their duties
balance their books and make their re-
ports to the commissioners and de-
liver all records to the commisS onerS
1t is understood that many OF the
townships in other portions of the
state will question the constitutional
tv of this law The last legislature
passed an act, bol'shing the town
ship governments in about one-halt the
counties of the state, and permitting
them to remain in the other one7halt
Then the same legislature passed an
amendment of the constitution, sub
mitting the question to the vote OF
the people, leaving the question to
the people of each county to vote
the question as to whether or not the
township governments should be aboI-
ished in that particular county. THIS
amendment to the constitution was
adopted and ratified by the people at
the general election in August. 1t Is
now the contention of some attorneys,
that all township governments con-
tinue to exist until the people, at an
election. in each particular county,
vote whether the same shall be abol-
ished or not.
The Attorney General has given an
oyinion to the effect that the township
governments do cease on the Attn day
of October, but the question will have
to be settled by the courts before the
people Will know the exact situation
in the matter.

In Pen s TINES
FOR STEALING

john Mil1oy. gray haired, walking
with bent shoulders and shuffling pris-
on step, appeared before Judge Miller
this morning, and waived examination
on the charge of petit larceny. He
was bound over to the district court.
and was taken at once to the court
house.
He was arrested for stealing a rain
coat from the Rosen Clothing Co.
Only a week ago he attempted to steal
a coat from the S. & C. Clothing Co,
was caught in the act, and the
coat returned.
just two weeks ago today Milloy
walked out from the gates of the pen
ttentiary at Bismarck. For the past
twelve years he has been there almost
continuously. Six times he has Deer
sentenced, each time for stealing. The
last time he received an indeterminate
sentence of from one to five years for
larceny, but was paroled in nine
months.
DO you like it at the prison?' he
was asked. /,
mo, l don't exactly like it, but it
seems to be the best I can do" was
his reply. He speaks in a soft voice,
and is mild and apologize in appear
ance. His manner is very courteous.
I've been sick for nearly twenty
years past he went on, land haven't
been able to do much work. l work
around the capitol building mostly, in
Bismarck. | do some teaming, too. I've
had catarrah of the throat for years.
1t seems some better now than it was
before I went UP the last time. |
think perhaps if I go again, / may
be feeling better when I get out.

Every number of the Orpheum bill
the first half the week is a good one.
The bill consists of sixteen people and
each person has a splendid act. The
first number on the bill is the Romero
family who gave a musical entertain
ment. 1t is one of the best entertain
ments of it's kind ever heard at the
local playhouse. A very good act is
the Great Arthur CO. who gave re-
productions of the worlds greatest
paintings. Their work shows them to
be true artists, especially their re-
production of the old Lincoln home

Minstrel made one Of the big hits at

were all new and clever. The feature

Will Be a Test in READING,

A feature, out Of the ordinary, for
teachers who attend state educational
convention is as follows:
A reading "sideshow" for the Min
nesota Educational association is to
be conducted by Miss Elizabeth Hall,
supervisor of primary work in Mime
apolis schools. Miss Hall has an
nounced the general plan under which
she is to conduct the reading section
Of the state convention in East high
school, Oct. %, "a and rs. She
said that neither teachers o pupils
are to be notified until the appointed
day and then teachers and whole
classes are to be called from various
schools to conduct classes in reading.
There will be no extra preparations
and the reading lessons will be con-
Quoted just the same as if it were
not for the special benefit Of teachers
attending the convention. Miss Hall
said she is neither proud nor ashamed
of the class work as it Is conducted
daily and wants to give the visiting
teachers a true representation of the
daily class work, not an exhibition of
specially trained pupils.

M00RHEAD HIGH WON FROM
FARGO TN FIERCE BATTLE

In one Of the most fiercely contested
field, Moorhead high won over Fargo
high yesterday afternoon by a score OF
Is to 8.
1t is only fair to Fargo to say that
they were somewhat handicapped by
the wet field. Fargo depends largely
on speed. It's fast backfield could not
work their plays as they would have
done had the. field been dry. While
this same heavy field handicapped
Moorhead also to a certain extent, their
heavier players had the advantage be-
cause of the weather conditions.
Both teams, however, put up a mag
nifcent game, and Coach S~lingsby's
team deserves every bit Of credit for
winning from the Fargo aggregation.
The game had been postponed from
last Saturday on account of the wet
grounds, but the downpouring rains
of yesterday morning left the field in
worse condition than before, and one
that was harder on the locals than
their heavier opponents. The wet field
greatly hindered the end runs for
which the fast Fargo backfield is not
ed. In the second half the locals all
most swept their larger opponents off
their feet. .

known what had happened, Hines

ruled out by Referee Wood, who held
that the ball was. dead as he had
blown his whistle. But for some un-
known reason he gave the ball to Far
go, although 1t vas in Moorhead's pos
session when he says he blew his

The Midgets then took the ball to
the Moorhead goal by end runs and
a line buck put the ball over for Far

Moorhead's star player, Peterson, wa
put out of the game for smuggling.
In the Fargo back field all starred,
but Hines and Melchoir stood out
above the rest, Hines for his brilliant
running and Melchoir for the great
Judgment he used which almost ena-
bled the Midgets to win.

the best game on the line and was al

Test Of a School.

Columbus. Ohio, State Journal:
Don't forget that in education good
English and good utterance go togeth-
er. They not only figure large in the
education of the intellect but they go
far to the making Of a character. Con-
else expression is an evidence of clear
thinking, and clear thinking is the
condition of good thinking. What a
person knows or believes is Of very
little service unless he can be given
clean and accurate expression. A
boys education is not getting along
we'll If his articulation is mussy and
his ideas tagging. 1T would be a good
rule to go BY that if a pupil really
knows q thing he can tell IT. And in,
making 1t a test OF his knowledge.
III increases the grasp of his thinking.
This idea should not be neglected in
the school room. Both character and
knowledge gain By god English and
clear ~utterance. With this test one
can easily tell whether a school is
well taught or not.
