CIRCUS REMEMBERS SICK LAD
Parade Turns Aside so That "Shut-in"
Can See Pageant at Litch-
field.

itchfield.-From his bed, drawn
close to the hospital window, Guy Pc
ters, 9 years old, watched circus pa
rade that had come three blocks out
of it's way to march before his win
dow.
With the average boys passion for
clowns and elephants, Guy was heart
broken when the doctors said he
would have to stay in bed on circus
day. He has just been operated on
for tuberculosis of the hip and prob
ably will never walk again.
When the Yankee Robinson circus
managers learned the story, they or.
dered the parade out Of it's scheduled
route to pass the boys window. AS
the procession came by the band play
ed its loudeSt, the wagon drivers
waved their whips to the boy in the
window, the bareback riders threw
him kisses and the white-faced clowns
performed their funniest capers on
the grass beneath the window
Afterward several of the circus folk
in full regalia visited him in his room.

to be the cause of the insanity Of
Mary and Theckla Norden, two sis
ters, of Beltrami county, who have
been committed to the state insane
hospital. Their father, e. p. Norden,
who lived with them in Steenerson,
and John Schippers of Blackduck,
were tried and found to be sane.
The girls thought that they had the
homestead but it was discovered that
another had previously filed for the
land. On April 20, 1912, they filed on
the land adjoining the Norden farm.
On April %, the girls were notified
that their claim was invalid because
Oscar Mosleth had filed for the land
March 26 of the same year and Simon
Sulseth had also previously filed
The $14 deposit required by law
was returned to the girls but the wor-
ry caused them to lose their reason.

May Be Delegates to Stockholm
Meeting.

WashingtoH.-If congress adjourns
in time, Representatives Stevens and
Steenerson of Minnesota will attend
the annual meeting of the interparlia-
mentary union at Stockholm, Sweden,
Aug. 10, 20 and 21. They, with ten
other members of the house and SEN
ate, have been selected to represent
the United States section of the union
and to discuss legislative matters that
have arisen in this country during
the last year, which have an interna-
tional bearing.
Because of his prominence in the
consideration of the Panama canal
tolls bill, Mr. Stevens has been asked
to take part in the deliberations of
international rights in straits, canals
and waterways. To Mr. Steenerson
the subject of postage rates" has
been assigned. Mr.. Steenerson is
member of the committee on postof-
study of postage rates.
At the meeting of the United States
section of the union, attention was
called to important questions that
were to be discussed at the Stock
holm meeting. Included in these are:
Reduction of ornaments, information
al rights in straits, canals and water
ways, reduction of postage rates,
rights in International aerial warfare.

REDS HOLD PEACE POW-WOW
Hundreds of Indians Gather at White
Earth and Celebrate Signing Of
Pact of 1868.

White Earth.-The final day of the
three-day Sioux and Chippewa peace
celebration brought hundreds of strag-
CLING Indians in mud-caked moccasins
to the agency, while many visitors
who came Saturday in automobiles
intending to leave Sunday were held
up by almost impossible roads in
country that was six times rain-soak-
ed in ten days.
The Chippewas, whose name is a
corruption of the word Ojibwa, fought
the Sioux from earliest recollection.
They drove the Sioux westward. AS
late as 1853 a war party of Sioux and
Chippewas fought near ST. Paul. In
1852 the Chippewas of the Mississippi,
who are the White Earth Indians of
today, were held in line for the whites
when the Great Minnesota massacre
of that time occurred. Six years lat
er, in 1868, when the whites had be-
come dominant as a military force,
was held the great pow-wow which
resulted in the peace between the
Chippewas and Sioux, the forty-sixth
anniversary of which the White Earth
visitors witnessed.

State Newsy General Interest
SUMMER SCHOOL DRAWS MANY
Large Numbers for Special Six
Weeks Term.

Minneapolis. Teachers from all
parts of the state as well as univer-
sity students who want to make up
conditions or failures, or to get ad-
vanced credits to tighten their work
for next year, have enrolled at the
university for the six weeks summer
session. The work is divided into
training school work for teachers and
principals and regular collegiate
work.
The teachers and principals taking
the regular training school work are
at the agricultural college. The num-
Der of these will probably exceed
1000. Glasses in this department be-
gan Tuesday.
The regular university courses,
which are offered only to students
who can qualify for entrance to the
university, are given both at the main
campus and at the agricultural col
lege. Dean George F. James Of the
college of education is in charge Of
the work at the main campus. The.
500 record of last year will be exceed
ed. The large percentage Of those.
registering for the college courses are
university students who are making
up work they have missed or doing
work for advanced credits.
There is increased interest in the
summer session, it was said, on ac-
count of the National Educational as
sociation convention in ST. Paul next
month. Educators from all parts of
the country will be in the Twin Cities
at that time, and summer school stu
dents will be given an opportunity to
attend some of the sessions and to
listen to talks on educational subjects
which the delegates will be invited
to give at the university.

Nearly all the members of Mime

in the new Tenth there was new

Democrats in the tenth district
showed more vigor in sending in re-

for county attorney, defeated A. S.

Some returns came in from the Sec
ond district, where it appears that
Senator julius Haycroft has the re-
publican nomination. Other districts
were slow to report and it is impos-
sible to tell who is victor elsewhere.
The run which Ernest Lundeen
made against George R. Smith was
just another of the surprises of this
primary. 1t was thought that Mr..
Smith would not have the slightest diff
ficuIty.

PIPESTONE HAS BAD FLOODS
Bridges Washed Out and Train Ser

Pipestone.-The flood situation in
this section has been serious. A
fourth bridge went out Monday night
on the Great Northern between Pipe
stone and Garretson, and the Rock
Island lost large bridge near LII
verne. The Great Northern employ
ed more than GOO men in replacing it's
tracks and bridges fifteen miles south
of here.
Several trains on that road were
tied up here. Not a wheel turned on
the ST. Paul road from Friday night
until Monday, and the Rock Island
had two southbound trains stalled

The Pipestone branch of the Omaha

noon, and more than $50 of the water
