LATE WAR NEWS

London, Dec. q .-Persistent ru-
mors are current that German
cruiser has been sunk off the coast
of Scotland and that two British de-
stroyers have arrived at Leith,
Scotland. badly damaged.
There is no official confirmation of
these reports.
London, Dec 2l.-The great bat
tie to the west Of Warsaw is yet to
be fought, judging from indications
conveyed in recent dispatches from
Berlin and Petrograd. 1t appears
to British military observers that
the German contention that Field
Marshal Paul Won Hindenburg had
scored notable success over the
Russians must be qualified.
The forces of Grand Duke Mich
oas are declared to number more
than 100000 men, which has en-
abled Grand Duke Nicholaus to
lengthen his line defending Warsaw
into continuous battle from the
Vistula to the Piicia river.
Shows and extremely cold weather
are forcing both armies to conduct
their operations only under the
greatest difficulties. The Vistula j.
said to have started to freeze. The

There isn't a week goes by now
that news items of persons taking
trips to other climates for the win
ter are not to be seen. They speak
volumes for the Dakotas. In nearly
every instance, the persons who are
making these extended visits during
the colder months of the year have
battled against the elements for
years on the Dakota prairies. They
have earned their enjoyment. Bat
the Dakota prairies are to be
thanked for the result. Dakotas
have yielded the income above the
requirements Of a livelihood that
made these winter visits possible.
It's commonly admitted that there
are more agreeable winter-climates
to be found. 1t is commonly admit
ted that our winters are hard and
that they test the steel of the best
of us. But, where is the country
that builds up competence faster
than the same old Dakotas? Hun.
dreds of former Emmons county cit
liens are to be found in the sunny
south, in California and other Pa
ciic coast states. But they got the
money on The bleak prairies Of Da-
kota that made their present lot pos
sible.
All our correspondents are in &C.
cord on these points. North Dakota
is the place for man with nothing
TO get ahead Other countries pre-
sent inducements for spending the
competence so earned.

SAYS COOPER PROVED ALIBI

Salem, Ore, April 4.--Governor
West today refused to honor a
requisition issued by Governor Hanna
of North Dakota, asking that McLa!il
S. Cooper, arrested at Hood River on
a charge of jury bribing, be returned
to that state. Z. b.
The reason assigned by the execu-
tive for his refusal was that evidence
of "A. Sullivan, who testified at the
extradition hearing, was unworthy of
credit. Ig%
Cooper was tried year ago and ac-
quilted in. North Dakota of the charge
of numbering James Ross, and the
jury bribing with which ne is charged
relates to this case.
Sullivan, detective. came to this
state to gather testimony. Evidence
was brought out at the eSzradition
hearing tending to show that Sullivau
prevailed upon an acquaintance Id
Portland to impersonate Cooper and
go to a hotel and discuss the alleged
jury bribery, while a stenogra pher ffi
an adjoining room took down the con
versation. Cooper proved that he was
not in Portland at the time.
The Message. a. Il. SAs

was as follows: @."r

STUDENT CIRCUS .
WON Big Hit

Barnyard & Baledhay's circus at
armory Of the North Dakota Agri-
cultural college scored a pronounced
hit last night when the big show
opened. The college band paraded the
down town streets early in the even
ing drumming up the crowd.
The parade was not until this
morning, when it helped to enliven
things everywhere throughout the
downtown districts.
The initial performance scored such
pronounced hit that another big
crowd turned out to see the matinee
this afternoon Tonight will be the
last performance and no one should
miss the opportunity to go. gs.
The circus opened last night with a
grand entree after which there was a
beautiful presentation of a spectacle
on the order of the regular Joan OF
Arc affair at all the big shows A
beautiful dance was given in this
number.
Later came the real circus, which
showed the different acrobatic feats OF
the performers and an exhibition Of
the A. G.. crack squad. A minstrel
show by the Mems Glee club of the
college concludes the performance.
The big parade of the circus passed
through the business section of tha
|eity this morning, and was worth GO
ing a long way to see. All the acces-
sories of the circus parade were In
evidence.
The fine band of the A. c. led the
procession. followed closely by three
divisions of the cadets Clowns fro-
licked at the side of the procession.
Barnyard & Baledhay rode in state in
a pony cart, sitting very erect and
dignified, their long chin whiskers
quivering in pride Of the circus which
bears their names.
Two clown bands were In the pro-
cession, and they dispensed lively
music as the long line proceeded up
the street. Some Of the wagons con-
tanned animals from all over the world
The big jumbo elephant rode high on
one wagon, in solitary grandeur.
Other features were also there,
which space forbids to mention, but
they showed that Barnyard 81 Baled-
hay are very capable circus manaEers.

DREANERS and
DOERS SUBJECT

Dreamers and Doors, were the type
of men under discussion this morning
when Professor Vowles spoke to the
Fargo college students in chapel.
Mr.. Vowles idealized the man who
can lay aside his regular work, and
enjoy work along other lines, such as
music, literature or art.
AS illustrations, many well known
characters were used. Bryce turned
aside and wrote on the Roman empire,
and the American constitution.
Milton served as secretary Of state
while producing his literary work.
Goethe laid aside his writing and de-
voted himself to the duties Of secre-
tary of state for the amelioration of
the mining class. Professor Kelsey
lays aside his work on Latin texts, and
devotes himself to the enjoyment OF
music.
Cecil Rhodes took seven years for
his B, A. at Oxford, and departing for
his mining work in Africa took with
him pick and shovel and Greek die
itonary. He was dreamer and a
doer."
In conclusion Mr.. Vowles eulogized
DR.. Dudley, who was known as the
grand old man of Fargo. Mr.. Dud-
ley exernplifed the type of man whose
mind is ever active and living, even
when the body is about to be sloughed
off, and the soul depart for other
realms. ..as. r.. ~ .

ART IS
HIGHLY FAVORED

The artistic work Of Paul Fjelde,
the young North Dakota sculptor, in
his creation Of a likeness Of Abraham
Lincoln has been highly praised by
all, the memebers of the Lincoln Art
committee who have viewed it.
His work has also won great ap-
proval from dorado Taft, the noted
Chicago sculptor. Fjelde's Lincoln
has now been sent to the foundry to
be cast in bronze ready for the pre-
sentation from the state of North Da-
kota to the government Of Norway at
the coming centennial exposition in
Christiania in May.
1t is believed by many that the
state of North Dakota ought to have
a replica of the Fjelde Lincoln cast
for some of the parks or some of the
states institutions Of learning.
Up to the present time there is not
a monument of bust or any kind OF
the great emancipation in the whole
state of North Dakota, and it is be-
lieved that such a step should now
be taken. -. .......sl !

DISTRICT COURT
TO HEAR CASES

The personal damage case for $780,
600 brought by Mrs. James Ross
against Harry and McLain Cooper Of
Hillsboro is to come up in the term
of the district court which meets
here next week. James Ross, fore
man on the Cooper farm in Trail
county, was fatally shot by McLain
Cooper following quarrel. The boy
was acquitted in the second trial at
Grand Forks for which some of the
Jurors are now being charged with
having accepted bribes.
Further notoriety has been gained In
the case because of the unsuccessful
efforts to bring young Cooper back
to this state for personal service
of the papers in the damage case.
Under the allegation that he was
wanted in the bribery hearing Gov
ernor Hanna was asked to issue a
requistion. Governor West of Oregon
commended that there was some new
testimony at hearing and resubmitted
the matter to Governor Hanna.
The case should have been tried in
Trail county but because Of the pub
@licity given the killing there it was
decided to bring it to Fargo for trial.
Another case to come UP at the ap-
proaching term will be that of Il. I.

CHESS HOLDS INTEREST

Although the call for baseball candi-
dates met with a hearty response at
Fargo college, the chief form of
amusement on the hill at the present
time is the game Of chess.
The enthusiasm has been growing
for some time, and finally has enl-
minated in the organization of a chess
club. While several months ago a
few scattered players could be found,
in the school 1t is now a common
sight to see large group playing in
the Y. M. G. A iounging room. with
numerous recruits observing the fine
points from the "side lines" Several
OF the chess players OF the city have
been visiting the college of late, and
have found some exceptionally good
opponents In the college men.
The club is headed by Clarence
Ransom, president. Mr. Ransom Is an
expert at the game, having at one
time held the state championship,
William Echer, was elected vice
president, Lloyd Dickney, secretary
and treasurer.
