THE COLLEGES
e. !. STATE NORMAL
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL

On Thursday, July 81, the generous
citizens Of Glendale provided automo-
biles and took the entire summer
school to the experiment station near
Edgeley. The day was most beau
tiful one and an early start was made
so that several hours were available
for examination of the splendid work
done at this station. The experiment.
al work in horticulture and rotation of
crops interested the teachers more
than anything else. Director Thomp-
son spared no pains in showing the
large company about the grounds and
in explaining the work that is being
done. North Dakota is fortunate in
having such a good man in charge OF,
the stations From here the trip was
made to- the city of Edgeley where
light refreshments were served
through the hospitality of the citizens
there. The trip home was made in the
early afternoon in time for the late
classes of the afternoon. George H..
Keyes filled his commodious car with
a number of the members of the facul-
ty,, including President Johnson and
George Baldwin. This party took their
return trip by way of Merricourt,
where dinner was served, and spent
portion of the afternoon at Whitesrone
battlefield Here they enjoyed a de-
lightfuI hour recounting the history of
the thrilling incident which took place
there Sept. 8, 1853. Before taking their.
departure Miss Beatrice Olson was in,
duced to mount the white stone and
give few charming readings.
The faculty and students Of the
summer school greatly appreciate the
treat so kindly furnished them.
The, institute for the teachers of
Dickey county this week Is by far the
largest ever held in the county. An
interesting feature of the week is the
special chapel talks by various mem
bers of the summer school and insti-
tute faculty On Friday morning will
be held the annual school officers
meeting at the courthouse, and in the
afternoon joint meeting of the teach
ers and school officers will be held at
the Nj auditorium. Friday evening
President Johnson will deliver an ad-
dress at the operahouse.

horse into town Tuesday morning
where it put up for time.
He was complaining of stomach
trouble and went to the Hoff store
where he made a purchase of couple
Of bottles of Jamaica ginger, a patent
medicine. This did not seem to bring
about the. desired results to his
system SO he secured a prescription
from DR.. Weyrens for some stomach
medicine. He had this filled at the
drugstore Tuesday afternoon and on
Wednesday morning he returned with
another prescription, this time for
one Of his eyes that had been in
jured by a fox tail. He also had the
other prescription refllled at the same
time. In the mean time, while the
prescription was being filed he went
out and had his breakfast and re-
turned to the front of the drugstore
with his team. She1ver, the clerk
took the bottles out to him and there
Is said to have been some controversy
in regard to the pay, True claiming
that he had paid when he left the
prescriptions. But this was not the
case, and finally True paid for the
stomach rnn6iaino Hi1
for the eye medicine or take it along
with him. III .- .,
In the afternoon he was picked up
on the street of Enderlin dead drunk
after he had fallen oAt of his rig and

ed in the calaboose where he was, al :
lowed to sober UP during the, night
and the next morning he was hailed

In the course of his testimony he
made statements, it is said, that caus-
ed States Attorney Meade to secure
the evidence against Hoff and Shelver
! When True had the prescription re-
filled he did not have the old bottle SO
Shelver gave him another one. When
picked up in Enderlin it is said that
he had two bottles in his possession,
but the contents had been emptied out
and refilled with alcohol. Where he
got hold Of the booze is the question
that the states attorney wants to find
out. ...>.. ~. Ill.,. ;

carnival company has secured con-
trol of the city with a vengeance. 1t

with reckless abandon, reared It's
tents in front of the doors Of the
business houses. SO that those doins
business can take to the back alley
if they want to, and has taken pos
session Of the town generally. The
wisdom of this or any other city is
doubted In allowing any company to
occupy the main streets or putting tip
their places of amusement In front
Of the business houses. However they
are here and their entertainments are
OF a clear order, and If the public
wants amusement and chance to
spend money the Patterson big shows
fill the bill.

POISONOUS FLY
ANNOYING HORSES

Hankinson, N. D., Aug. 9. ~! A
strange fly is giving horse owners no
end Of trouble in this vicinity these
days. The insect is about the size of
a common house fly but is armed with
a savage looking bill which drives
horses almost frantic. 49, ,
The sting of the insect is poisonous
and in one instance of a boy being
bitten he was laid up from work for
two days and his nose swollen to al
most twice it's natural size. Fly nets
and head covers seem to afford horses
little protection as the fly stings
through protectors that keep off
ordinary horse flies. s. 49,.
