SKATING RINK CLOSES;
SKATING RINK OPENS;
SKATING RINK REMAINS

Acting favorably on a petition
signed by number of citizens,
asking that the skating rink be
closed. the City Council called in
extra session last Monday night,
ordered the rink to cease opera
tions, it is understood.
Tuesday morning the rink was
opened on schedule time, and
the discordant notes of the gaso-
oline piano were waited on the
breeze to almost all parts of the
city. The skating began, and
upon investigation it was found
that the manager of the rink had
erjoined the City of Paris from
revoking his license. Presuma-
bly, in anticipation of the action
Of the Council, it is said that he
had gone to Clarksville on Mon
day evening and entered injunc-
tion proceedings. a fiat restrain
ing the city from closing the
rink was issued by G. w. Tyler
of that city. A copy Of the in
junction has not yet been re-
ceived by the city.
The proceedings of the city
fathers is merely a rumor, as
nothing definite could be learned
from members of the board.

between the rails.
He sufferer some severe cuts
about the head and body, one
broken bone in his left wrist, and
painful bruises.
His escape from death is con-
sidered nothing short of miracu-
lous, as he would have been
killed had he fallen across the
rails instead of between them.
He is at present getting along
nicely and shows signs of an
early recovery.

NORTHERN PACIFIC DINING
CARS HAVE EASTER ATTIRE

Easter will be fittingly observed
aboard Northern Pacific dining cars
this year as arrangements have been
completed by H. J. Titus, superin-
tendent of the dining department, to
install large floral crosses in each
car. This is said to be the first time
a transcontinental railway has placed
such an emblem in it's trains at
Easter time.
From the Pacific Coast to St. Paul
these losses will greet the eyes of
dining patrons aboard Northern Pa
cifc trains.
Mr.. Titus did not feel satisfied with
this enterprise, however, for he has
completed arrangements to have the
interiors of all dining cars on that
line bedecked with Easter lilies next
Sunday. Careful selections of the
flowers to be used have been made
this week by representatives of the
railway company and green houses at
various points along the line have
been charged with the task of supply
ing only the very finest and freshest
specimens.
In anticipation of the natural de-
sire among passengers to partake of

cific farm hens have been called upon

TELLS ON THE KIDNEYS
Dickinson People Have Found This
To Be True.

The strain of overwork tells on
weakened kidneys. The hurry and
worry of business men, the heavy
lifting and STOPPING of workmen, the
women's household cares, tend to
wear, weaken and injure the kidneys
until they can no longer filter the
poison from the blood and the whole
body suffers from the waste matter
that accumulates. Weakened kidneys
need quick assistance. Doan's Kidney
Pills r prepared especially for
weakened kidneys; tired, WORKOUT

thousands of such cases. Convincing

subject matter of circular No. IL, just

vises securing as pure seed as pos

sowing it so as to leave every 18th
row for a path to walk through to
pick out weeds and the plants that
are diseased or that are not true to
type. In this way pure disease free

the Northern Pacific. This deed was
also filed previously in Morton, Het-

this transfer means anything or not

means that the N. P. is getting
things in readiness for the building
of its line through this country.
The right of way as shown on

DeSart and passes through the
southern part Of Slope, touching at
Pierce, Mineral Springs, C%henoweth,

ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL
CONFERENCE AND CONTEST

Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
May 18th, 10Th and goth, have been
selected as dates for the Annual High
School Conference, Athletic Meet and
Debating and Declamatory Contest
to be held at the University.
By an overwhelming majority the
high school men Of the state voted
to have an extra day devoted this
year to the annual meet. Heretofore
the program has been too crowded
when limited to two days.
The first day, Thursday, May 18th,
will be given over to the high school
conference, proper. In the forenoon
of that day it is proposed to have a
series of ten short addresses, on the
question of "The Most Important and
Essential Condition for Secondary
Education in North Dakota"
A free lunch will be provided by
the University in it's Commons build
ing both on Thursday and on Friday.
On Thursday a paper will be read
by one Of the city superintendent on
the "Junior High Sch l." and re-
ports will be given by several other
superintendent who have had the
Junior High School in operation for
some time.
An evening meeting will be held on
Thursday, May 18th, at which DR..
A. J.. Ladd of the State University
will give an address on "The Relation
of the State University to the High
Schools" This paper and the general
subject will then be discussed by
three high school men.
On Friday forenoon at $3.50, In
spector E. R. Edwards will conduct a
round-table on topics which will be
of special interest to the principals
and superintendent of the smaller
high schools and to those who have
recently come to our state. Many
topics, such as classification Of
schools, examinations, grading, etc.,
will be especially interesting and
valuable to those who have recently
come to the state.
The Athletic tryouts will take place
on Friday afternoon, May 10Th, and
the Debating contest on Friday even
ing. The regular Athletic Events and
Contests will occur on Saturday, May
goth, and the Declamatory Contest,
as usual, on Saturday evening. The
University will be host to those who
are entered for the Athletic, Debating
and Declamatory Contests.
It is expected that this will in
every way excel any previous Annual
Event.
