SYNOPSIS. OF PRECEDING CHAP
TIERS.

A bitter feud has existed between Colo
mel Arthur Stanley and his cousin, Judge
Lamar Stanley. The fcud has been en-
gendered in family jealousy over an heir
loom, the diamond from the sky. that
was found in a fallen meteor by an ad-
venturer ancestor. Also, the succession
to the Stanley earldom in England may
come to an American Stanley. When
q daughter is born to Colonel Stanley or
the eldest branch of the Stanleys in
w. America and the mother of the chlld
dies at it's birth, the chagrined colonel
buys a newborn gypsy boy n substl-
tutes him as heir. Three years later the
gypsy mother, having had no part in this
bargain, steals the coloners little dauSh-
ter, being reared in secret, and leaves her
own son undecided as the heir. Tho gyp-
sy mother has also obtained possession
OF the diamond from the sky and a docu-
ment containing the secret OF the raise
heir. She rears the little girl. Esther

that her son. the supposed Arthur Stan

Esther, but Hagar hopes for the best and
with her people departs. Arthur Stanley

Esther to be gently patronized by Mrs.

her fortune.
She settled herself back in the low

NEW CATHOLIC
HOSPITAL WILL Be
BUILT IN Spring
SISTERS OF ST. FRANCIS LET
CONTRACT TO ARCHITECT
WOODRUFF TO FURNISH THE
PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
AND TO SUPERINTEND WORK.

The new Catholic hospital will be
built by the Sisters Of st. Francis
early in the spring on the property
which they bought several years ago.
Early in the spring the foundation
will be put in and the work rushed
to completion. Mr.. Woodruff is work
ing on two sets Of plans, one of which
will be selected.
The hospital will be magnificent
structure, consisting of fully 100
rooms, with full basement. 1t will be
equipped in the most modern manner
and no expense will be spared to give
Minot the very best hospital in the
state. Several years ago, work on
raising the funds was started, but
the money was not all secured until
a short time ago, There is absolutely
no question now but what the hospital
will be built next year. Minot needs
a large modern hospital. The build
ing will cost more than $10O, 900, al
though the exact figures will not be
known until after the plans are fur
nished, accepted and the contract let.
Mr.. Woodruff will have his plans
ready for the contractors in a few
weeks.

ENDORSEMENT
APPROVED
STATE DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE
SANCTIONS WORK OF COUNTY
COMMITTEES WINS
BATTLE WITH BRUEGGER.

Grand Forks, Dec. 15.-Olaf Toft-
ner's endorsement for the Kenmare
postmastership by the state central
committee of the democratic central
committee Of the democratic party
here this morning followed an inter-
estlng battle between representatives
of the Ward county democratic CEN
tral committee and John Bruegger of
Williston, national committeeman for
the state.
Committeeman Bruegger opposed
the endorsement; he asked that the
committee take no action on the Ken
mare office.
E. H. Stenvi-k of Mnot, speaking
in behalf of the Ward county central
committee, which has previously en-
dorsed Toftner, opposed Bruegger-
insisting that the county organiza-
tion's voice should be final with the
committeeman for the state, and that
the name of the county committees
candidate should 60 to the postoffice
department and President Wilson
backed by the support of the national
committeeman.
Accept Wards Proposition.
The state committee accepted STEM
HioPooA1IoAA1 uPAAoANiliS HAN0
of the Ward county committee, and in
SO doing the state committee estab-
fishes an important precedent.
1t means that county organizations
will hereafter be accorded wider
latitude in the selection of candidates
for federal appointment, practically
eliminating the national committee
man as factor in the settlement of
local disputes. At least, that is the
viewpoint taken by the opponents of
Committeeman Bruegger within the
state committee.

Dear friends:
1t has been quite a cold season for
this valley, only a few hot days in
July. We have had no rain since
May. It has been all sunny weather.
We have had frost enough to kill
vines but the alfalfa is just as green
now as in July. I see by your paper
that Ed Kelley did not like California
and he did not see any good country
on his route. Had he gone the south
ern route and the length of San Joa-
quin valley, he would have seen barley
and wheat fields of ten and twelve
thousand acres that went from 2400
to 5000 pounds to the acre, and
Thompson grapes of which II acres
gave clear profit of $4,000. It has
been a poor year for alfalfa, but
prices are good, $13 a ton baled in
place of 81 last year. And Mr.. Grow
did not like California. Why? Be-
cause he did not see much of it. He
was down where they live on climate
and if you do not have the cart wheels
you cannot live on it long. You might
just as well say there is no good land
in Dakota by looking over the sand
hills around Denbigh, but it is not
worth while to come here unless you
have about $4,000. Why? Because
you must pay cash for what you buy,
except land, and you can't look for
any returns to speak of for three or
four years. If you bring stock and
have good luck with it, you take your
cream to the creamery and get good
returns. Butterfat will average %
cents the year round With best
wishes for you and all friends, l am,
Yours,

Normal Students Issue Attractive
Calendar.

The Normal School students, assist
ed by several of the members of the
faculty, have just issued very at
tractive calendar, showing views of
the school and number of scenes
about picturesque Minot. Favorite
quotations are given by members of
the faculty. Much of the work was
done by the students themselves, who
displayed a great deal of artistic abil-
lty. The cover design is the product
OF the school, showing the beautiful
wild rose, our state flower.
The calendars were issued under
the auspices of the Catholic Society
Association of the school and the net
proceeds will be used in fitting up
room at the Normal to be used by the
various societies of the institution.

TERRIBLE SUFFER-
/ ING IN RUSSIA
MRS. HENRY ROZEN RECEIVES A
PITIFUL LETTER FROM HER
FATHER WHO WAS FORCED TO
LEAVE HIS HOME-MANY OF
THE PEOPLE STARVING.

Henry Rozen, Of the B. and r..
clothing store, received the sad news
from his wife's father in Russia, tell
ing of the terrible suffering that
thousands of poor people are exper-
iencing. In the recent German drive,
the Russians were ordered by the
Gar to burn their homes and flee, so
that when the Germans arrived they
would find nothing but barren waste.
Henry's father-in-law and his family
were driven from home and are now
living in great hardships, many miles
away, with little to eat and to wear
and little to keep them warm. Mr..
Rozen sent the family substantial
sum, which will help them for short
time. The letter as translated, fol-
lows in part:
We had some very bad experiences
Business is very bad. We live togeth-
Ell with Mordche Weinberg, but we
have to sleep on the floor Mother is
also with us. We have not expected
to suffer SO much. We are in this
small city where everything is very
dear. Wood is 40 kopeks pub Zone
cent pound.) Bread is very dear.
There are many refugees here and we
have to suffer from hunger. It is
very cold here now. We don't know
what to do. Shall I jump off the
bridge? My only hope is God and
you who can help US. We seem to have
gotten used to our trouble. Our
daughter, Bielka, has the typhus.
Mordke Weinberg is sick in bed with
his foot: l am also sick. What can
do? All l can do is raise my hands to
God and cry. l ask you, my dear
children, to look out for US and our
poor lives so that we are not lost.
There seems nothing left for us to
do but to die in the streets. Dear
children, l do not want to write you
such letter, but | am forced to do it.
