FILLED TO CAPACITY.

Agricultural College, Miss, Oct.
81 That the Mississippi Agricultu-
raj and Mechanical College is on the
point Of over-flowing its plant; that
already the dormitories are over
filed and students are rooming in
the agricultural engineering build
ing, is shown in a report just made
TO President Hightower by Hugh
Critz, registrar
The report in part is as follow:
I'VE are urging all patrons of the
college who intend sending their
sons here to write in advance in or
der to be certain that there is va
cant place. Only about fourth as
as many students have withdrawn
this session as in previous years.
This coupled with the increased reg
istrations leaves more boys to be
taken care Of now than at any for
mer time.
"Class rooms are also filled to
their capacities Teachers in several
departments are working extra hours
to take care of the increased num-
Der of sections of freshmen and
sophomore classes.
There are now nearly 500 new
students in the college. 1t speaks
well for the work of the high schools
Of the state that the number Of
these new students entering the
freshman class is already in excess
Of the full years enrolment in our
highest former year. This is true in
spite Of the fact that within the
past five years the entrance require
ments for this class have been rails
ed.
"On the other hand we are glad to
report that the number of students
entering the preparatory depart
ment has declined in four years
from PIT to CO."

There is prenaps the biggest de-

As the cartoonist puts it, everything
''is trimmed in fur this season except
the gas stoves" The Woman's Store

widths from one to four inches; but
goods that are in big demand and are
hard to find, can always be found at
this store, No use looking further if

Tried to Clean Up Litchvine

Litchvile Bulletin: Too much fire
water was flowing in Litchville Tues
day evening, and as result, Paul Sy-
version, a transient, will spend 20 days
at Hotel Kelly, at Valley City. He, in
company with another victim of the
fiery spirits, spent Tuesday night in
the village lookup, and the next morn
ing were brought up before Judge
Djuberg for trial. Syverson could not
be persuaded that his ugly mood and
offensive language were nuisance to
| the public, and when Marshall Pexa
tried to take him to the calaboOse, Sy-
version decided that he was a bigger
and better man than our marshal, and,
acting on this erroneous decision, pro-
ceeded to demonstrate his views with
his fists. 1t took considerable WELD
ing of the marshal's "big stick to
show the strong man where he was
wrong, and the next morning the
Judge sentenced him to time In the
county Jail for resisting an officer Of
, the law. SyversOn was taken to Val
! ley City by Marshal Pexa and Mayor
Bennett, Wednesday afternoon. His
companion was left off with fine and
costs. (. (

Many Dead in Gulf Storm

New Orleans, Oct. 2-Tonight's re-
port from the section of Louisiana
and the Mississippi gulf coast swept
by Wednesday nights storm brought
the number of known dead to 1913 and
the missing to 80. Estimates of the
property damages stood at approx
mately $12,000,000. With the excep-
ton of few isolated points, reports
have been received from the entire dis
trict and general indications were that
the death toll would not exceed $50.
The exact fatalities cannot be de-
termined, however, until the water
recedes. A large section of the area
now under water was uninhabited
marsh lands, and it is believed most
of the people living on plantations
along the river needed the widely dis
tributed warning of the weather bu-
reau and reached places of refuge.
Island De la Croix, % miles south of
New Orleans, reported II persons
drowned and discouraging reports
were brought in by vessels of the sit
uation in Plaguenine and Paris, Louisi-
ana. The reports stated that a num-
Der of marooned persons lined the
river banks at Plaquenine and were
in need Of food and shelter. Rescue
boats have been dispatched.
Relief boats sent out to various
points have not returned and a num-
Der of refugees have been brought to

day to assist the parish and city Off

Valley Citizens are more than ordi
narily Interested in the announcement
made Friday morning Of the election
Of Mrs. Belle Spur to the office OF
dean of women at the State Normal
school here to succeed Miss Frances
Foote, whose return will be prevented
on account of protracted illness.
Mrs. Spur, though having resided
for some years in the east, Is we'll
known locally. She came to Valley
City with her father when there were
scarcely more than ten buildings here.
Since then Mrs. Spur has been much
interested in both the growth of the
county and the state.
Mrs. Spur has the reputation OF
having been the first woman in North
Dakota to hold the office of county sup
erintendent of schools. She was in
charge of the Barnes county schools
from 1SS6-189O. During her incum-
bency in Office she married and in 1890
was succeeded as superintendent by
her husband. While in the county
superintendent's office, Mrs. Spur also
managed a farm Of a section and half
near Darcy.
Later Mrs. Spur spent II years in
West Virginia in missionary service
among the poor whites. But at the
end of this period, she was again at
tracted to North Dakota and to Valley
City, where she became the first ma
iron of Episcopal hall and at the same
time gave her son, Clinton, the educa-
tional advantages offered here. Mrs.
Spur was instrumental in the pur-
chase of the Episcopal hall property
and fitted it with her own furniture
Her son having completed his Sec
ondary education, Mrs. Spur removed
to New Haven, Conn.,, where he ma
circulated in the law school of Yale
university.
Mrs. Spur is glad to return again
to the state she likes best and many
friends are glad to welcome her re-
turn.

Why States
Funds Have
Little Cash

An explanation Isl given out from
Bismarck relative to the depleted
financial condition of the states gen.
eral fund. The real reason for the
state being short of money is, Of
course, the excessive appropriations,
but at this particular time it is ex-
planned that the taxes for 1915 are
not due until December, and most. of
the taxes are not paid before March.
The laws passed by the legislature
become operative July following, un-
less otherwise provided for, and as
soon as these laws are in force all the
state institutions which have had
money appropriated for them by the
legislature rush in and demand their
money and the state auditor issues
warrants to pay the claims, although
they should not be paid until the
taxes levied for them have been col
lected This year, in July, large sums
were paid to the state university, the
state agricultural college, and other
schools of the state, although the
money was not available and will not
be for some months to come, The
farmers have not paid their taxes as
well the past year as for number Of
years, and there is a large amount of
1914 taxes unpaid, about rs per cent.

Expect Burke Will
Be Candidate for
j. s. Senatorship

Bismarck, Oct. 2.-Friends of John
Burke, three times governor of this
state and now United States treasurer,
say that his controversy with John
H. Rich of the Federal Reserve bank
of Minneapolis is proof he will enter
the senatorial contest. They contend
that had he not been planning to be-
come candidate he would not have
criticized the bank officials, but that
deciding to become candidate he
saw an excellent opportunity to win
favor of the farmers by attacking the
reserve bank. His remarks have
pleased the wheat growers and more
of them have seen his statements than
will ever read the reply by Mr.. Rich.
There had been much speculation as
to the attitude of the former governor
because of the factional differences
within his own party and the declara'
ton of F. o. Hellstrom, twice an un'
successful candidate for governor, that
if Burke made the race he would also
become senatorial candidate. There
is certain to be opposition to Burke by
Hellstrom and the friends of the lat
ter, but there seems to be no doubt but
that Burke could win in nomination.
Just what success he could have al
the general election is another matter
He was elected governor three times
with the aid of one Of the republican
factions, but he had the united democ
racy behind him and the conditions
much different, the nomination o.
Burke for the senatorship would mo-
have the same significance, perhaps
as it did for the governorship.
1t is popularity supposed that hi:
personal ambition, backed, perhaps, by
the wishes Of President Wilson tina
he enter the race, have been the de
Gliding factors in his determination t
become candidate.

Pulled Of New Robbery Stunt

Minot, Sept. 1.-Ole Stronsmoe was
arrested by the police late yesterday
on a charge of robbing transient at
the room of the former at the Chica-
60 restaurant. The robbery was some
thing of a departure in the game, but
the evidence against the criminal is
such that he will get a good, stiff term
in the penitentiary. In fact, 1t is
thought he will plead guilty and get
the matter off his mind.
Stronsnnoe had room at the Chi
cago restaurant The victim came to
the city on No. on the Great North
ern, which reaches the city at 2:15 in
the morning. He fell in with the Grim
inal soon after landing, and was in
yited by him to his room to have a
drink. There he was assaulted and

Stronsmoe went into hiding for a
few hours, but the description of the
man which the officers were able to
get of him was pretty good and SO
soon as he appeared from under cover
he was run in. @
The evidence against him is conclu-
sive. The victim is able to positively
identify the man, and couple of eye
witnesses to the robbery have been To-
Gated and will testify that they saw
the holdup take place.
