UNIVERSITY NEWS LETTER
North Dakota has lost a re,

North Dakota has lost real
genius in the death of James Dor
an of Bismarck. Mr.. Doran died
last summer at the age of twenty
two years. During the past five
years the remarkable achieve
ments of this young men in scien-
tific experiments have attracted
considerable notice. His most
noteworthy work was the extrac-
tlon Of radium from its ore. He
was remarkably successful in his
work in the field of wireless tele-
graphy.
The generosity of James Dor
ans father, Mr.. J. X. Doran, in
giving the sons radium tubes to
the chemistry department of the
state university for a term of
years has again called the atten-
ton of University scientists to the
remarkable work of the young
man whose life was cut short by
tuberculosis. Seldom has the
Northwest lost a young man of
such promise. James Doran grad
uated from the Bismarck High
School in 1914. During his high
school course he had busted him
self with work in the lines of his
chief interest. He built high fire
quency Tesla coil without aid,
which, it is said, produced an cleo
trio spark longer than any spark
Tesla himself had secured from
his own apparatus. In his labor
atory, which was exceptionally
we'll equipped, he worked on his
radium problem. He imported
pitch blend from Bavaria which
he used in extracting the radium
1.-THE substance extracted shows q
very considerable radio-activity
1 What Doran might have done had
he lived, is difficult to say. But
certain it is that his beginnings
were remarkable and his promise
was great.
| The young scientist was eager
to have the work go on i'm the in
terests of society. He left his
chemicals and his Crookes Tubes
to the Bismarck High School. His
father in transferring the radium
tubes to. the care of DR.. George
A. Abbott Of the University has
done a real service to the scien-
tltic world and to the state.

4 s,o NIGHT ,roMiTE

September Morn," which will
show tonight at the Wahpeton
Opera House for it's first presen-
tation here, is the very latest Of
Messrs. Martin & Lemie's really
excellent productions, the like of
which, made fame for the LaSalle
Opera House, Chicago, when OPP
Grated under the direction Of
these clever producers of stage
works. The new play is in three
acts, with music of incompatible
swing and warmth by Aubrey
stauffer. The book and lyrics are
by Arthur Gillespie, and, as frank
ly admitted by librettist, compos-
er and producers, a merry tangle
of farce, frolic, tango and melody
framed to make people who go
to the theatre laugh and send
them away-pleased and happy.
Behind the great success Of
September Morn" there lies
some profound something, soma
thing, quality known only to
those who patronize the theatre
that acknowledgements some-
thing which even so successful
and astute playwright as George
Michael Gohan cannot always
solve.
The farrago comes to us fresh
from real triumphs won at Chi
cago where it successfully start
ed it's carer at the La Sale OPP
era House where it developed in
to phenomenally long run and
continued its unprecedented vo-
que until its number of consecu-
tive performances there totaled
256.
In the matter of pretty songs,
pretty girls, pretty dresses, at
tractive players and dancers, to-
gether with elaborate stage in
vestiture-the management in
sists that the production is posi-
lively the finest that has borne
the Martin 4 Lemle hall mark.

AN ARAB LEGEND.
Story Of the covstous Man Who Went
Step Too Far.

Step Too Far.
The Arabs tell story to show how
mean mans philosophy overshoots
itself. Under the reign of the first ca
hph there was merchant of Bagdad
equally rich and avaricious.
One day he bargained with porter
to carry home for him basket Of Dor
celain vases for 10 paras. As they
went along he said to the man: "My
friend, you are young, and am old.
You can still earn plenty. Strike a
para from your hire" "Willingly," re.
piled the porter. This request was re-
peated again and again, until, when
they reached the house, the porter had
only single para to receive.
As they went upstairs the merchant
said, III you will resign the last para
I will give you three pieces Of advice"
BE 1t So" said the porter. "Well,
then" said the merchant, III any one
tells you It is better to be fasting than
feasting do not believe him. II any
one tells you It IL better to be poor
than rich do not believe him. II any
one tells you 1t IL better to walk than
ride in your carriage do not believe
him"
my dear sir" replied the astonished
porter, II knew these things before
But II you will listen to me will give
you such advice as you never heard be-
FORE" The merchant turned around,
and the porter, throwing the basket
down the staircase, said, 'If any one
tells you that one Of your vases IL un-
broken do not believe him."

Cy didn't look very happy over It.
But he didn't seem able to git up
enough courage to 60 on with his way
o. courtin', and made up my mind to
boost him.
"Tell you what, Mr.. Rogers" says,

night and I'll forgive you for all the
time you've wasted. Now, don't you
forget it Come about 8 O'Clock, and
I'll be ready for him."
