Fargo, n. D., Dec. 24.-Back from
Washington, after a conference with the
powers that be, Frank o, Hcllstrom,
former penitentiary warden and last
years candidate for governor on the dem
ocratic ticket. is a receptive candidate
for the democratic nomination for United
States senator This, at least. is the
statement made by Hellstrom's friends in
Fargo. Hellstrom declined to be inter
viewed at present.
This means that former Governor
Burke will not be n candidate. al least
it is so construed by friends who take
it for granted that Hellstrom's visit to
Washington Was for that purpose Of
securing a declaration from Burke as to
tho ratter's attitude on the senatorial
question.
Friends of Hellstrom say he is the
strongest candidate the party could name
and point to the fact that while Wilson
carried North Dakota in the three-cor
nered presidential race last year Hell.
strom polled 1000 more votes than VIII
son in a thrce-cornered gubernatorial
contest.

Notwithstanding the damp weather on
Sunday night, the Cantata ut the Monyian
Church was well attended, and among those
present, there was a fair representation If
the folk who always appreciate the efforts
md are ever ready to palronize the Mora
wan choir.
The singing, presumably from the very
sacred nature of the subject, was distinctly
soft and appropriate; and an Improvement
in the style of rendering especially by one or
two voices is doubtless the effect OF studlous
care and attention suggested and encouraged
by the present Music Master and Orgnuisl -
Revd. and Mrs. Weiss-und on whose we'll

IL Ware House hpd tor u long time been
hardly felt, and he, the Speaker, regretted
very much to see that Christiansted got q
good amount for repairing of its wharf
while Frederiksted hud been promised Il
Ware House on its wharf for some years and
now we were told to wait another year. He
had been asked to put i'll a plea for the Ware
House.
HIS Ercellency answered that Government
had asked the Ministry to gel : doctors for
Frederiksted, under such conditions rs Gov
erumeut in conformity with existing ordi-
nances would offer. But when the 2 posts
as Doctors were offered nOue would take
them, and the Ministry lad to put the 2
posts under one. Government had again
tried its best to get 2 doctors. and nothing
more coild he done.
Ills FrceAency did not feel certain, that
the way which the hon. Member had shown
would decrease the expenses of the Poor
Department. A Poor Inspector had been
tried for years ago IN St. Thomas, but it was
seen that the Inspectors were too liberal in
recommending the Poor, and it had to be
given up. The Inspector should have q sal
nry that was certain and thereby the ex-
penses would be increased The iden of IL
Ware House could be taken up in the course
of the year.
The Chairman (haLner) remarked that
he understood the hon. ,Iember wished that
West End should have 2 doctors, he cousi-
dered it natural, that the people wanted 1t,
but rs tar as he could say, they would never
get it. Thele was home among the Doctors
n stronghold it Trade Union-that never
would allow o Young doctor to 60 Odt here
except guaranteed q certain income, YOU
must first secure this income else you viii
never get 2 doctors.
About 80 years ago he, the Chairmnn WAS
Chairman of Il committee for arranging the
Poor Department, we worked very hard and
the result was, that part Of the Co mmissIon
recommend a poor house, but it WAS found
to be very expensive.
1st. Member for Frederiksted Town
(Cou1ter( remarked, that we must try to
break that Union home wish the help Of
Government.
Ills EeceUenc4 said, that the hon, Member
had spoken about M epidemic in Frederik-
sted, whether he was corr ect IN considering it
SO, His Excellency could not say. But Gov
eminent was very eager to do what could be
done. On last Saturday n had
been appointed to investigate and report. and
Government would do everything feasible
what the Committee recommended.
4th. Member for Frederiksted Country
District (1Hornberg) asked if Government in
tended to tax the automobiles.
Ms ErceHency held the opinion, that there
were good reasons for dong 50, but would
r~pcommend the hon. Member to bring the
question up in the Road Committee.
Bird. Member for Christiansted Country
District (Leecyl asked, if the automobiles
were not at all taxed.

They came to where a cement culvert
was about to be put in, the excavation
being fourteen feet deep. Some ten
feet away a board had been placed
across the road. Dugan had evidently
struck the board, stopped the engine
and set the brakes but there was an
incline and the auto could not be kept
from carrying him down to death. His
chest was crushed in and his heart
ceased to beat. He was the son Of c..

OLD EXCUSE WON'T WORK.
Lawyers Find Supreme Court Mus
Have Valid Reasons For RetriaI.


Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Sept. 23.-Lawyers who
come to the Iowa supreme court with
plea for new trial because of some
thing known to them before the case
was ended and which should have been
corrected on the trial, don't stand much
show. If it has even been the custom
in Iowa to grant new trials because of
misconduct known to the lawyers in
time for correction it certainly is not
the rule now. The court gave fine
illustration of this the other day. In
suit from Jones county. reversal was
sought on the ground that one or the
jurors was drunk most Of the time dur
ing the trial. The court decided that
the weight of evidence was against this
accusation, and added:
"Furthermore defendants affidavits
do not show that he or his counsel did
not know OF the alleged intoxication
before the case was submitted. On the
contrary the affidavits of his attorneys
show that before the trial was con-
cluGed they did know the facts upon
which they now base their claim that
one of the Jurors was intoxicated dur
ing the trial of the case. They did not
report the matter to the court. They
took their chances and speculated on
the verdict. Had it been in their favor
the matter would not have been heard
of, in all probability. The jurors were
before the trial judge. from day to day,
during the trial, and were doubtless
observed by him. This matter Of the
alleged intcxication Of the juror Is the
mint llDon which the appellant seems
to place the greatest reliance. The
showing made by plaintiff clearly
shows that the juror did not use any H.
quor on the last day Of the trial when
appellant claims he was intoxicated"

Anes, Sept. 23.-It ought to be a
part of the business Of the Iowa State
College to turn out engineers who
know enough about road construction
and maintenance to be worth good

sion. which is sorely in need Of cap
able engineers. says Dean A. Marston.

mendation led to the employment Of an
expert good roads engineering educator

1T is the general plan to give senior
engineering students such special
training as to fit them for positions

by contractors engaged extensively in

highway commission, instructor in the
University Of Illinois ami Ames grad

gineering.
Road Engineering Required.
One Of the courses in road engineer
ing is a requisite to graduation for
engineers; the student has no election,
the course must be taken. Other
courses are elective, the student hav-
ing the privilege Of taking them if he
wants to. The required course takes
up the detailed study of methods Of
preparing plans and specifications for
highway wcrk and methods of con-
struction that have been adopted as
standard for all common types of roads
and pavements. The optional course
deals with the economic phases of the
work or a highway engineer with the
idea of giving the student a foundation
at least to work into administrative
positions. A laboratory course being
given involves testing materials used
in road and pavement construction.
Turnout, the work is being correla ted
commission. This. we think says
Professor Age, "makes the courses OF
unusual value"
Fifty Students Registered.
The total registration in the courses
is eighty-sfx, representing about fifty
different students. Not as many are
enrolled in the optional course as in
the one required but the enrolment Is
la see enouea> e indicate the. ~he an
gineerlng students want highway
training.
Ames is a leader in making road in
struction required. Columbia Univers-
ity and the University of West Virginia
and several other colleges have had
highway courses but they were elective
with the student.
