eph, who is at the Mercy hospital. she
had received word of his illness from
Superintendent c. NJ. Ziebach of Fort
Totten, in which vicinity the man liv-
ed when he was taken sick. He has
had pneumonia and is out of his head
and raving. The mother speaks very
little English and as she was shocked
and worried over the condition of her
son she was very pathetic traveller.
She carried with her the telegram,
which she was obliged to show in or
der to find her way to the hospital.
The ground hog was on the job last
Monday morning. Monday was the
day according to, eminent historians,
and biologists, when the tabled sub
terranean porcupine energies from his
winter retreat to. view the landscape
DER, and incidentally to decide the
weather probabilities for the next six
weeks. If he sees his shadow, and is
frightened back into his hole thereby
there will be cold weather for the
subsequent six weeks. If he doesn't
we'll, in North Dakota the chances are,
that it will be cold anywhere. It
takes more than 9. common Or garden
ground hog to govern the weather
conditions in this state. One thing is
certain though, the timid animal
couldn't have seen his shadow on a
cloudy morning such as Monday was,
SO those who hope for an early spring
may take courage from the fact that
he is probably still roaming at large.

Devils Lake is no better or bigger

planning should be done away with,
since there is nothing 40 be gained,
and it only proves that the one doing
the complaining is not doing his or her

BUTCHERS FOILED BY
CONNECTICUT FISH.

PACKERVILLE, Conn, July 81
The excellent fishing in Connecticut
streams and ponds this year has had
q tendency to cut in seriously on
the activities of the butcher wagons
and shops with their soaring prices.
Last week a housewife here paid for
a dollars worth OF meat with a two
dollar bill and when offered a dollar
change told the butcher TO wrap the
meat with Il as protection against
air and flies. This indicates how
welcome the good fishing is.
Bullheads. which are excellent eat
ing, have been caught in unpre-
cedented numbers this year. Last
night Edward Greenwood and Patrick
Dunham. Of this town, caught more
than three hundred in a few hours,
which is believed to he the record
in this State. Many catches of from
sixty TO ninety bullheads have been
made within the last few weeks, and
last night slxty-three fishermen we're
counted at Tadpole Pond, where all
of the larger catches have been made.

both pronounced the growth 10 be an

fed the tree several days ago, but
some persons said they thought Il a

Carver today agreed with Miss deVou
that the growth out of the court
house wall is an empress tree Miss

tree in the First Presbyterian
Churchyard opposite the court house
and there are many In Brandywine

tree grows out OF cracks between
bricks and walls. especially in warm
places. She pulled two small shoots
of the tree from between bricks on
Delaware avenue this morning, she
said.
Miss deVou said the tree has been
known to grow 75 feet high and four
feet I'm diameter. Il bears a pod from
which winged seeds are scattered

Miss de You today suggested that

until the building rs torn down, and
that then it be transplanted in the
courthouse block park, dedicated to
woman suffrage "Then we could
watch for its flowers and fruit and

N. P. BOOK CONCERN
MAY CO elsewhere
Possible Outcome if Union
With United Brethren is
Put Through

BALTIMORE, Nd, July 2s.-The
possibility that the Methodist Protest
ant Book Concern at 316 North
Charles street may be removed from
this city is being talked Of by leaders
Of that denomination now that the
General Conference at its recent
meeting voted in favor of union with
the United Brethren Church. in spite
OF the protest Of the Maryland Con-
ference against such union on the
terms proposed.
Just how the property situation be-
tween the Maryland body and the
General Conference stands was ex-
planned today by Rev. DR.. George w.
Haddaway. pastor OF Starr Church.
Dr. Haddaway is a trustee of the
Drinkhouse Memorial Association,
which holds the building at 316 North
Charles street.
There is possibility that the
Maryland Conference will withdraw
from the General Conference II union
is forced" said DR.. Haddaway; "and
in such case the question of owner
ship Of properties would come up. The
store and publishing concern be-
long to the general body. while the
building on Charles street belongs to
the association, which has as its trus-
tees men of the Maryland Conference.
Western Maryland College, at West
minister has its title vested In board
composed of Maryland men. Although
there are only three conferences
standing out against the union, these
three include about one-third of the
strength of the Church and contribute
about one-half of the benevolences."
There is keen interest In the votes
10 be taken by United Brethren con-
ferences on the union project
Whether the fact that Maryland
Methodist Protestants oppose the
union will enter as a factor in the
voting by the United Brethren is not
known. II is believed likely that
they will indorse the project. They
are expected TO finish voting by
December and next May a Joint meet
ing is to be held to act on the Ques-
tion OF finally ratifying the union.
