A Class studying" Its Lesson.

BY William G. Shepherd.
Dresden, Germany, Sept. 49,
How'd you like, Miss High School
Girl, to go to a school where life is
nothing but one long, glad dance?
Where the girl who is the best
dressed is the one who has the
brightest colored edging on her black
tights? A school where poor in
department doesn't mean that you
whispered, but that you didn't dance
enough?
There's a school like that here, and
it's so popular that the girls wouldn't
go home for their vacations last
summer. Most of them wrote home,

barefoot dancing, and I'm trying
very hard to get a good mark in tur-
key-trotting."
Jacques-Dalcroze is the principal Of
the dancing college. Nearly 200 girls
from all parts of the world attend the
school, and many of the great edu-
Gators and musicians of Europe de-
clare that he has struck a new and
fundamental idea in education.
Jacques-Dalcroze's idea is this:
A pianist, after years of practice,
gains such absolute control of the
hands and fingers as to be able to
use them without effort, but with
tremendous rapidity, to express the
subtlest musical idea.
But all parts of the body" says
Jacques-Dalcroze, should be as ut
terly obedient to the mind as are the
fingers of a pianist"

NEAR PERFECT
BLOCK SYSTEM
SYSTEM BEING INSTALLED ON
THIS DIVISION SAID TO BE
NEAR PERFECT

The electric block system being in
stalled between Williston and Minot
is said to be just about perfect. The
work of installing the system is pro-
crossing rapidly and the railway Of
ficials hope to have it in operation be-
fore many weeks. A trip over the
line recently revealed the fact that
a large amount of work has already
been done, much material has been
placed and, many excavations have
been made for the big cement battery
wells every few miles. These big &C.
ment walls are shaped like a fruit
jar and are about ten feet high by six
or eight feet in diameter. Railway
men say that the road between here
and Minot is the most dangerous
of any stretch on the entire system
owing to the grades and curves, and
that this new block system will great
ly facilitate the running of trains
The system being installed over the
Minot- -Williston division will cost ir
the neighborhood of 100000. Wher
the job is completed here the crews
putting in the work will 60 to the
state of Washington, where they have
another contract for over s hundred
miles to be put under the block sys'

USING MOVIES
IN THEIR FIGHT
GRAND FORKS WOMEN USE PIC.
TURES TO SHOW UNCLEAN
SLAUGHTER HOUSES

Seeking to bring about better
slaughter house conditions, Grand
Forks women are using the moving
picture houses in conducting their
campaign. Plates showing the pres
ent conditions of slaughter houses are
being thrown on the screen, antiquated
methods of handling meat being por-
trayed.
The object sought is the construc-
ton of municipal slaughter house,
and a special election for the pur-
pose of voting on bonds to erect such
a slaughter house has been called.
The Grand Forks women, who al
ready have brought about splendid
improvements in many lines of food
handling, are back of the slaughter
house proposition, being responsible
for launching the movement They
are organized as the Women's Civic
League, and their first success was
that of securing the appointment of a
woman pure food inspector, whose
work has attracted national attention.
They also have brought about sani-
tation inspection, the appointment Of
police woman, and various other
reforms as affect the municipal gov
ernment.

PEOPLE CANNOT
GET THE REFUND
IS STATEMENT OF STUTSMAN
OF r. X. COMMISSION AT
FARGO SESSION

Concerning the proposition of the
refund of a portion Of the fares to
Minnesota points from North Dakota
stations. President Stutsman of the
commission at a meeting in Fargo
stated that many inquiries had been
received by the commission asking
what would be done.
"The railroad commission has been
in receipt of great many inquiries
during the past few weeks, since the
decision in the Minnesota rate cases."
said President Stutsman, "asking
whether passengers from points in
North Dakota to points in Minnesota
are entitled to refund of portion
of the fare before the decision was
rendered.
"It is perhaps we'll that the commits
sion states at this time, and asks the
papers to give it as much publicity as
possible, to the effect that the deci-
sion of the supreme court of the Unit
ed States in the Minnesota cases had
no effect upon interstate traffic of
any kind.
"At the time of the passage of the
2-cent fare bill in Minnesota, and the
2 1-2 cent fare bill in North Dakota,
the rates between all points within
these two states and from points
within one state to points within an
other state was cents per mile.
"After the passage of these two
acts the legal rates installed to con-
form to the law, and interstate rates
were voluntarily adjusted to conform
to the sum of the local rates. In 9TH
er words, while the fare from Bis
marck to Fargo was 2 IL cents
mile, and from Moorhead to St. Paul
was cents a mile, yet there was no
legal necessity for the companies
making rate from Bismarck to st.
Paul less than 2 cents a mile, how
ever, this was voluntarily cone.
Later when Judge Sanborn COM
PEELED the Minnesota roads to charge
cents a mile, the through rate from
North Dakota points to St. Paul or
other Minnesota points was raised to
equal 1-2 cents mile in North Da-
kota and 3 cents in Minnesota.
"The supreme court decision now
requires the railway companies to re-
duce the rates from 8 cents a mile to

business only. 1t will naturally re-
suit, however, that through tickets
from Bismarck or other points to
points in Minnesota will be based up
on the sum of the local rates and will
then be reduced from 3 cents mile
to 2 cents mile as to such proper
tions of trip as will be in Mime
sofa, but this will be voluntary on the
part of the roads and there will be no
legal necessity for them to refund or
return any portion of the passenger
rates heretofore charged.
"The same situation is true with,
reference to freight rates." conclud-
ed Mr.. Stutsman. Freight rates
from within the state may be affected
by the Minnesota decision and they
may not. Whatever reduction is made
will be voluntary and shippers will
not be entitled to any refund of ex-
cessive rates heretofore paid" .

ARE BUILDING
NEW BRIDGES
GREAT NORTHERN BUILDING
BRIDGES EAST AND WEST
OF WILLlSTON

The Great Northern Railway for
the past few months has been busy
building large number of bridges
along the line east and west of us. At
every small stream and coulee
where fill has not been made, and
where wooden structures have been
used, steel bridges are being put in.
In many cases the wood structures
have been in many years and the COM
pany is removing them to avoid all
possibility of disaster. Then, too,
the ever increasing size Of the trac-
ton equipment demands heavier
bridges. The majority of these
bridges will be completed this sum-
mer and fall.

LIONS OF GOVERNMENT
FUNDS TO MOVE CROPS

twenty-five to fifty million dollars
of government funds will be deposit
ed in the national banks of the south
and west by Secretary McAdoo to IA
cilitate the movement of crops. Fed
eral, state and municipal bonds and
prime commercial paper will be ac-

may pay two per cent interest. The
motive of McAdoo in establishing
this policy is to anticipate any money

GOV. SULZER
IMPEACHED
RESOLUTION PASSED AFTER ALL
NIGHT SESSION OF THE
LEGISLATURE

Albany, Aug. 13.-William Sulzer,
governor of New York, was impeach-
ed by the lower house of the legisla-
ture at 5:16 o'clock this morning, af-
ter an all night session, by vote Of
70 to as, on charges Of having d.
verted campaign contributions to his
private use and of having made, un-
der oath, false statements concerning
his campaign receipts.
An eleventh hour declaration on the
part of the governors wife that she
diverted some of the campaign con-
tributions to purchase stock, because
she felt the household needed money,
failed to avert his impeachment.
Sulzer's impeachment came through
the democratic majority Of the as
sembly after an all night session. The
organization leaders, who spared for
time all night in fear that the pro-
gram of impeachment might be wreck
ed by a lack of votes, welcomed the
newcomers to the assembly chamber.

early hours, and, assured of victory,
started quickly upon the adoption Of
the impeachment amendment.
The long articles of impeachment,
embracing the finding of the Fraw-

Democratic Leader Levy hours before
the organization entrusted the i'm
peachment resolution to the roll call
As soon as the amendment was adopt

claim not.
The assembly then, named nine
members, under the craftsmanship OF
Levy, to conduct the Impeachment
proceedings on the part Of the lower
house. Thereafter, under the head OF
unfinished business, the assembly con.
sidered several bills passed by the
assembly and veoted by the governor
and proceeded to pass them over his
veto.
Two hundred spectators witnessed
the impeachment proceedings.
In the executive mansion, where
Mrs. Sulzer made what her friends
call "confession," to save her hus
band, the governor waited until almos
dawn for the verdict, and then
wearied, he retired. He was no
awakened to hear the news.
In the light of the revelations o.
