MEMORIES THAT HAUNT

Last nights show at the Orpheum was sure Class-A. The Pathe Daily was a late one and up.to-date with the interesting occurrences and again proved itself the leader of the week lies.
 Memories That Haunt was the best two-part feature shown for some time, the great shipwreck scene. with the hundreds of people jumping into the water-upset from the lifeboats and struggling in the water for their lives was very realistic. This picture alone was well worth the price of ad- mission.
 The admirers of Mary Fuller must admit that she was at her best in "The Princess of the Desert" and was ably assisted by Edisons great star Mere McDermott. Tho photo graphy in this picture was beautiful.
 The show closed with the popular players in the comedy "'Boys of the l. O. U.

HONORS AT FAIR
FORT TOTTEN INDIAN SCHOOL

GREAT EXHIBITS

Among the exhibits which created
considerable enthusiasm at the fair
were those of the various schools over
this section of the state. The Fort
Totten Indian Schools had splendid
display of exhibits from the various
departments of the school, including
the domestic science and culinary de-
partments, as well as from the harness
shop and shoe departments, and they
certainly showed up fine. The Deaf
School also had a large and interesting
display, which was admired by all who
saw it. Our city schools as. we'll as
many city schools over the Lake Re-
gion were represented, and along with
these exhibits were a large number ct
rural schools. This branch of exhib-
it's at the fair was the largest Of any
and deserve more than passing mem
ton. Supt. Haig and his deputy,
Miss Helen Haig, had active charge
Of this section Of the fair, and the
| showing made was certainly most
creditable one.

as was the case of VIM. Irwin and

tanned is the pilng up of about $2500
expenses against the taxpayers Of the

CLUB 0FF|CERS
ROLLO F. HUNT, NEW HEAD OF
LOCAL COMMERCE CLUB, DE-
FINES FUTURE COURSE
RETIRING OFFICERS WORK WAS
WELL DONE, AND SHOW
SPLENDID GAINS.

There was a general meeting of the
Commercial club at the club rooms
Monday evening at which time the old
officers stepped down and out to maize
room for the new officials, recently
elected. Before laying down the
reins Of government, President Joseph
Kelly gave report of the emmigra-
tion meeting which he attended at
Bismarck recently, and he also made
brief report of the present standing
of the local club. This report showed
that when he took over the office of
president the club was heavily in debt
and that during the past year the Of
ficers had succeeded in running the
club on the money collected, and at
the same time reducing the indebted
ness to some extent. After his talk
he introduced the new president, Rollo
F. Hunt, and in assuming his new du-
ties Mr.. Hunt made short address
which was to the point and we'll re-
ceived. He stated that the club was
, going to be just what the members
desired and what they made it and
that the policy of the new officers was
going to be the policy laid down by
it's members. But one thing he assur-
ed his hearers was that the organiza-
I
before a dollar was expended theof-
fcers must know in advance where
the money was to come from. After
his talk Vice President Howard Mahe1
rendered a statement Of the finances
of the club as he found them. General
good feeling prevailed and the outlook
for a successful year in the club is
good.

Jim CUMMINGS
GETS. ! PAROLED
CASE THAT HAS COST COUNTY
MUCH MONEY; IbFINALLY..
DISPOSED ON

Last Iri:lay before the case of jim,
Cummings came up an agreement was
reached whereby if he would plead
guilty to the charge Of selling intoxi-
eating liz :crs at Edmore he would re-
ceive a parole sentence, and as all Jim
was looking for was his liberty he
willingly acquiesced in the matter and
accordingly entered plea of guilty
and was sentenced to one year in the
penitentiary, given fine of $1,000 ana
then turned loose on parole. So far
as the fine goes it makes little differ
ence to him whether tn Judge made
the fine $1,000 or s1O,oo0,ooo. This
is a case that has cost the taxpayers
of Ramsey county in the neighborhood
Of $1,000 land what has been gained
by it? Jim is an innocent old fellow,
who often imbibes too freely for his
own good and when he gets jag on
he gets the idea that he had a right
to sell a little to his friends.

SLUTz IS
ACQUITTED
AFTER TEN HOURS DELIBERA-
TION JURY DECLARES HIM
INNOCENT.
TRIAL LASTED FOUR DAYS AND
CHARACTERIZED BY BRILLIANT
PLEAS ON BOTH SIDES

After trial lasting four days the
jury in the Tom Slutz case brought
in verdict of acquittal at about 800
a. m. Saturday morning. This was
a case where large part of the evi-
dence was furnished by two detectives
who had been brought here to secure
evidence against Slutz for selling IL
quor contrary to law, and in several
instances their testimony was impeach
ed by we'll known citizens of oar city.
Tho whole trial was q legal battle
from start to finish between two of
Devils Lakes most emminent attor-
neys, States Attorney F. T. Cuthbert
on The side of the state and Ex-Judge
John F. Cowan, representing Slutz.
In summing up the evidence after a
trial lasting almost four days, both
attorneys delivered powerful address
es holding the closes attention of the
jurors and the large crowd present at
the trial. It is understood that the
first ballot the jury took they stood
seven for acquittal and five for con-
viction, and later those who stood fol
conviction came over, to the other side
and a verdict Of acquittal was agreed
upon after the jury had been out
about ten hours. The jury was com
posed of twelve representative mer
from this county, and it was generally
conceded that better set of jurymer
never set on case in this county.
From the sentiment we have heard es
pressed the result of the trial gives
general satisfaction, according to the
evidence introduced.

BANKERS BOOST
IMMIGRATION
MOVEMENT
NORTH DAKOTA BANKERS ASSN
INTEREST THEMSELVES IN
BETTER FARMING
COMMITTEE OF BANKERS MET
AT GREAT NORTHERN HOTEL
IN THIS CITY YESTERDAY

An important meeting was held at
the Great Northern hotel in this city
last evening when the agricultural
committee of the North Dakota
Bankers association convened to take
up important matters relatives to the
progress and prosperity of our state,
and with special reference to the mat
ter Of emigration. The bankers of
the state have been doing much in the
past along the line Of better farming,
and to further than end permanent
agricultural committee has been ap-
pointed and their duty will be to work
along this line and also with view
to securing more emigrants for North
Dakota. Among the members of this
committee who were present last eve
ming were Hon. W. C.. Mcdowell Of
Marion, w. F. Hanks of Powers Lake
and c.. H. Simpson Of Neville.
The important subject dealt with
was the matter of securing a larger
emigration the coming year and to
that end the following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
"Resolved, that we, as members OF
the agricultural committee duly ap-
pointed as a standing committee OF
the North Dakota Bankers Associa-
ton, believing it to be for the best in
terests of the state, do hereby petition
the Hon. l.. B. Hanna, governor OF
North Dakota, to use his influence in
the securing of an appropriation in
the amount of $4,000, by the present
session of the legislature for the pur-
pose of bringing emigration into our
state, thus adding to our population
that the large area of yet uncuEtvated
lands may be brought under cultlva-
ton, and that more happy homes may
be established and that fields of grain
corn ard alfalfa may wave where the
prairie grass NOW grows, and ESPECIAL
" do we believe this appropriation
necessary at this time in view OF the
!
fact that the state Of North Dakota
will sometime during the early sum-
mer conduct a sale of school lands' at
which several thousand acres OF the
most fertile soil of the western part
of the state will be offered for sale
to the public on the usual favorable
I terms.
We believe that by judicious ex-
penditure . of this appropriation
enough additional purchasers would be
attracted to justify such outlay. we
further believe that by properly ad-
vertising it's agricultural possibilities
every portion of the state will benetlt.
North Dakota has demonstrated be-
yond doubt that corn, clover and al
falfa can be raised successfully and
are becoming just as staple crops as
wheat and other small grain. Every
live real estate dealer advertises his
lands. Why should not North Dakota
do likewise.
