FORCES FOR GOOD ARE MANY
Religious Activity Has Always Had
Large Part in Life of North
Dakota.

Almost the first thing that strikes
the newcomer into any part of North
Dakota is the high moral atmosphere
that prevails everywhere. The state
has never had a legalized saloon with.
in it's boundaries, having been a pro-
hibition state from the time of it's ad-
mission into the Union.
Every religious denomination is
represented in practically every part
of the state and the building of
churches is contemporaneous with the
building of schoolhouses. Religious
activity has always had a large part
in the life Of North Dakota, and the
result is clean living and a devotion
to high moral ideals.
All church and religious subsidiary
organizations are fully represented,
each doing it's work and accomplishing
it's share for the uplift of the race.
In addition to the special system
of education through the public
schools and colleges, there are many
UNCONVENTIONAL colleges in the state
and parochial schools in almost every
community.
The great possibilities in this state
early induced a class of settlers with
high moral ideals which soon found
expression in the high standard of
the state laws and peEhaps no coun.

LIVE STOCK WITHIN THE STATE
NORTH DAKOTA RAISES CORN AND FEED TO FATTEN CATTLE
SHEEP AND HOGS FOR MARKET. CLIMATE BEST IN
WORLD FOR WINTER FEEDING.

This contention that the winter eli
mate Of North Dakota is as good for
feeding stock as that of the corn belt,
will be disputed. Nevertheless it is
true. The cold in winter in North Da.
kota Is steady and continuous. In
the corn belt it f1uctuates, being cold
one week and warm the next, and the
gains become irregular. The feed lots
in North Dakota are clean; in the
corn belt they are often miry. In
North Dakota, If the cattle are pro-
vided with the shelter Of a shed and
are also protected from the wind,
they will fatten in good form if prop.
erly fed. AS a winter climate for fat
tening sheep North Dakota cannot be
excelled.

THIS STATE HAS GOOD LAWS
Wisdom and Foresight of Early Law.
makers Was Been Of Great
Benefit.

Good laws have contributed large
ly to the growth and development of
North Dakota.
From the days Of the constitutional
convention. which Immediately pre-
ceded the admission of the state into
the Union, down to the present time,
the dominating trait Of the state gov
erning and enacting bodies has been
their thorough, individual and collec-
tive appreciation of the responsible
ties placed upon them, the wise and
comprehensive name in which they
have met the various governmental
problems, and the f~ar-seeing intuition
with which they have provided for
the future. Among other places this
has shown itself in the constitutional
provisions surrounding the land grants
and permanent endowments Of the
public schools and other state insti-
buttons, whereby provision has been
made for their maintenance, while
assuring a maximum Of efficiency at
a minimum of cost to the state. The
law governing the investment of
state funds accruing from the sale
of common school and institutional
land grants is a model of it's kind,
insuring as it does the use of public
money to the bona fde settler in the
state, at a low rate of interest, and
a thorough stable security for the
public funds.
The enlightened policy Of the state
legislative bodies in placing funds
at the disposal Of the department of
agriculture and labor for the express
purpose Of promoting immigration, is
in a large measure responsible for
the agricultural development of the
commonwealth. These biennial ap-
preparations have been used to the
best advantage in placing before pro-
spective settlers the manifold opportu.
mites offered to the farmer, merchant
and manufacturer. -.
Other legislation denoting u~p.to-date
| appreciation of the needs of modern
society are the primary election
laws, city government by the commits
sion system, dairy and creamery con.
troll and supervision, game and fish,
pure food, drainage, grain inspection
and grading laws, maximum coal rate
and many other laws on kindred. sub.
jects.

ing.

One of the first inquiries made by q
prospective newcomer into a locality
is regarding it's educational facilities.
North Dakota is proud of its school
system and invites the closest scrutiny
and comparison. To every person in
this state, whether old or young, is
given the opportunity Of receiving the

kotans are not SO busy with their agri.
cultural pursuits that the welfare OF
its future citizens in an educational
way are in the least neglected.

cultural college, a scientific school. a
school of forestry, an industrial school,
a school for the blind and a school
for the deaf and dumb.
Every child in the state, between

school regularly.
Special Land Grants.
The public schools of the state en-.
Joy special land grants in order to
maintain high standards in teaching
and buildings.
Besides he common public schools
and the states educational institu.

leges maintaining a high standard Of

Employees of Big Underwear Plant.

The new service warehouse built by
the Cooper Underwear Company, a
building containing more than sixty
thousand feet of floor space, is nearing
completion and the workmen will put

Cooper organization from the founder
of the plant down to the smallest of the
office boys is going to have part in the
festivities. They are going to be some
festivities at that. The floors of the
big building are to be converted into
great amusement palace. There will
be bands Of music and orchestras for
dancing and the officials of the com
pany will have one of the best moving
picture shows ever seen in Kenosha
There is going, to be something to
amuse every one. 1t is not going to be
a half hour show at that, but the pleas
ure is to be continued until the wee
small hours.
In order to make the night one that
the employees may enjoy to the full
est the day following the dedication of
the new building has been declared a
holiday at the Cooper. plant.
The entertainment to mark the open
ing of the new building promises to be
unique in the manufacturing life of Ke-
nosha and it is going to be another ex-
preston of the rare good feeling which
PREVAILS between the employees and
the managers of the great underwear
making company. The employees Of
the company are entering into the
plans with a great deal of zeal. The

Cooper people now is "Next Friday

FIGHT OVER BIG ESTATE.
Rival Firms of Attorneys Seek Wealth
OF the Late Kaspar George Schmidt.


Two suits were fled in the circuit
court this morning seeking partition
OF the estate of the late Kaspar
George Schmidt, formerly one of the
Wealthiest men of Chicago and the own
er OF considerable real estate in this
county Summons and complaint in
one of the suits were served on the
heirs of the Chicago brewer at the
Hotel Borup at one minute after twelve
0 clock this morning and later another
summons and complaint was brought to
the hotel. TIE heirs had come to Ke-
nosha to anticipate service. Schmidt
died in Chicago in 1898 and left a will
by which large portion of his prop
erty was left to his "children IS child
rem" It was stipulated in the will
that there should be no final division
OF the estate until May 18th, 1915.
There are no allegations of irregular
proceedings in either of the suits fled
and it appears that both are seeking
the same end. One piece of property
of the Schmidt estate is the splendid
stone residence adjoining the Schwartz
Hotel at Twin Lakes. It is understood
that similar suits were started in Chi
cage this morning and that there was
another race between attorneys there
to get their suits first before the court.
The property in question is said to be
valued at $4,000.

MAY GET WOMAN FoRGER.
Kenosha County Courts May Dispose Of
Mary Anna Smith Who Fooled Banks.

Chief Of Police Owen O'Hare and
Police Officer William Biennemann went
over to Evansville this afternoon arm
ed with warrant for the arrest of
Mary Anna Smith, the young girl who
is charged with forging checks and
passing them on many banks in this
section of Wisconsin. It is declared
that the GAINESVILLE officials have found
a flaw in the conviction and sentence
of the woman which may result in her
being released. She was sentenced to
the Industrial School in Milwaukee
and later it was found that she was too
old to be admitted to this school. The
question has been raised as the right
of the court to impose another sentence
and she may be turned over to the
Kenosha county officials. The officials
of the Kenosha bank stand ready to
prosecute her if she is brought to this
county.

TRAIN CRASHES INTO WAGON
Both Horses Are Instantly Killed and
Mangled Body of Rickett Is Found
More Than Five Hundred Feet From
the Road Crossing.

Harvey G. Rickett, aged As years, a
resident of Zion City but known to
nearly ali lovers of candy in Kenosha
and salesman to Kenosha merchants
for many years, was instantly killed at
half past seven o 'clock Friday night
when his delivery wagon in which he
was riding was struck by a fast south
bound train on the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul railroad, just outside of
the village of Wadsworth, Ill.
Rickett was employed by the Zior
City Candy Company and he had been
the salesman of the company in Racine
and Kenosha for many years. His busi-
ness was not limited to the merchants
of the two cities and he had many
! customers among private citizens in
Racine and Kenosha on whom he had
called for years and who had counted
on him to supply them with the great
bulk of their sweet meats.
Riekett was on his way to Wadsworth
at the time of the accident. He was
driving team and he had closed up
the wagon on account Of the rainy
weather and he probably did not hear
the approaching train. He had driven
onto the track when the engine, pulling
the heavy train crashed into the wa
gon. Both of the horses were instant
ly killed and the wagon was splintered
and portions of it scattered along the
track for long distance.
The badly mangled body of Rickett
was found more than five hundred feet
from the crossing. The remains were
taken to the village of Wadsworth and
Dr.Taylor of Libertyville, coroner of
Lake county, went to Wadsworth this
morning to make an investigation into
the accident.
After the inquest is over the remains
will be taken to the Rickett home at
Zion City. Mr.. Rickett is survived by
his widow.
Kenosha and Racine people had for
years regarded Rickett as the real rep
resentative of Zion City business in
Kenosha. He had been one Of the old
est statesmen of the Zion Candy Com
pany and his trips to Kenosha had COW
cred long period of years. His strict
business integrity and his cheerful dis
position had made him a favorite with
the merchants and others with whom
he did business and he had built up a
large trade for the company in this
city. His wagon in which he met
his death was familiar sight on the
streets of Kenosha as he often came to
the city several times a week.
The remains will be buried at Zion
City. but as yet no announcement of
the time of the funeral had been made
Mr.. Rickett had been active in the
work of the church at Zion City and
was an ardent supporter of DR.. Alex
ander Dowie and his successor, Wilbur
Glenn Voliva.

FATHER TO BRING SUIT.

It was announced today that Rudolph
Extra would on next Monday institute
a suit against the Chicago and Milwau-
kee Electric Railway Company in the
circuit court of Kenosha county. The
suit is based on the accident wherein
his daughter, Minnie Extra, seven
year old girl, had one Of her feet so
badly mangled as to force amputation
of it at the ankle. In his suit the
father will demand damages to the
amount of ten thousand dollars for the
loss Of the services of the child. Some
time ago a suit was brought against
the company in the name of the child
and following the hearing of the evil
dence in the case the jury returned a
verdict awarding her damages of
$4,000. Judge Belden declined to set
aside the verdict as excessive or to
grant new trial of the case and plans
are now being perfected for an appeal
to the supreme court The suit of the
father will come up for trial at the
September term Of the circuit court.

ACTION rs DISMISSED
Judge Randall Holds That Garnishee
May Not Be Enforced on Liquor Bill

The old question of whether brev-
cry agent who gets a wholesaler IS Ii
cense is a wholesaler or retailer, was
brought up in Judge Randall's court
Friday when the Val Blatz Brew
ing Company sought to collect by gar
nishee methods a bill for twelve dozen
bottles of beer from Frank Brick.
Judge Randall promptly dismissed the
suit on the grounds that the bill was a
liquor bill and not properly collectable
under the garnishee act In the hear
ing of the case the question was raised
as to whether brewery agent working
under a wholesale liquor license could
traffic in small sales of beer. Tt was
shown that Brick had bought the beer
in less than case lots, the court held that
the transactions must be considered as
retail transactions and the action dis
missed. The decision of the court may
open tbe way for some interesting in
designations on the part of the license
committee of the council.

Mrs. @. Fl. Lund Formerly of Kenosha
Made Trip and Sacrificed Two Lives.
William Mounsey Of Chicago, and his
son-in-law, G. H. Lund, formerly of
Kenosha, went to their death through
q pathetic mistake. A cablegram re-
ceived from his daughter, Mrs. Lund,
who is at Liverpool, at the Mounsey
home at 1920 Laporte avenue, Chicago,
Friday, contained but two words, yet
told how futile had been Mounsey IS
earthly search for his wife. The mes
sage read:
Not mother.n
This meant that "Kate Fitzgerald"
an asphasia victim at a home for in
valid women in Liverpool, was not
Mrs. Mounsey, and behind it all looms
a triple sacrifice to the greed of the
sea. Mrs. Fannie Mounsey was pas
senger on the Empress of ireland,
which sank after collision in the ST..
Lawrence River on May 90, 1914. She
was mourned by Mr.. Mounsey and his
eight children as dead.
The party from Chicago were on the
Lusitania and both Mounsey and Lund
are now declared to have been lost.
Several days ago it was reported that
Lund, who was formerly operator at
the North Western station here, had
escaped, but that was afterward found
to be an error.
