the call was a fake, according to the
testimony, and returned near midnight
to engage in a revolver duel and to
find that his wife had been attacked
and beaten.
Miss Boyer testified under cross
examination that a call had come to
the telephone office about 1880
o'clock that night asking the names

Daniel said the fake call purported to

Berlin, Dec. 1 (by wireless to Say
Vile. "A dispatch from Sofia says
that Premier Radoslav has made sem
sational disclosures in the Bulgarian
parliament" says the Overseas News
agency. THE Rumanian government
in 1915, at the beginning of the war
between Bulgaria and Serbia, declared
it would remain neutral until the end
of the European war. But il was soon
evident that Rumania had changed its
mind.
Toward the end of August, the Ru-
manian minister to Bulgaria, G. c.
de Russi, who had been sent from So
fla, returned. and spread the report
that the Rumanian government, in or
der to further good relations with
Bulgaria, was ready to give back Do
brudja, if Bulgaria would observe
neutrality in case of war between
Austro- Hungary and Rumania. The
Bulgarian government was not de-
ceived by this treacherous behavior.
Premier Radoslavcff refused to grant
an audience to the Rumanian minis
ter.
Speaking of the expulsion of the
minister of the central powers, from
Athens, by the French Vice Admiral
Dufournet, Premier Radoslavoff said
good relations continued with the law
full government of King Constantine.

because her husband is alive 1t was
alleged that Raney had been tipped
off by Mrs. Cliett's husband, though
no evidence was introduced to prove
this.
In proving her right to be consid-
cred the head of the family, Mrs.
Cliett told of her work at the ranch
which she conducted as a summer re-

SPECIAL coRRgsPoHDENcE TO HCRNlEG JOURNAL
Santa Re, Dec 1.-The Agricultural
college of North Dakota is carrying
on an interesting ana valuable work
to extend both the knowledge ind
appreciation Of art. Although a col
lege for farmers to teach farming
primarily, those in charge consider
their mission as two-fold. first to
try to cultivate in those who want
to go back to the farms an apprecia-
tion of all things beautiful and an
ability to beautify their surroundings
with the belief that this fuller life
will help keep them on the land; sec
ond, to select those who show real tai
ent and direct them along the course
which will best meet their individual
needs and abilities" These two
thoughts are brought out again by
teacher after teacher who visited the
museum and art exhibit this week,
The consensus was. How fine a
thing to bring up children In this
atmosphere. If | had family, it
would be Santa Fe or some town that
| like 1t cultivated the finer things OF
! life, which | would choose for a res
I idenCC.'
Speaking further of this Dakota
/ agricultural college. the American
Magazine of Art says: THE Minne-
apolis Institute of Art has given u
scholarship this year to this school
and last year sent an exhibit of stu
dents work there, which has been
passed on to other institutions. Ar
tangements have been made by which
school exhibits will be sent to this ag-
l'ricultural college in the far west dur
ing the present season from the
Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts,
the school of the Boston Museum Of
Fine Arts ana the Chicago Art lnsti-
tute 1t is interesting to note that IN
this little North Dakota town where
this college Is located there are two
music conservatores, two dramatic
schools, theaters, free concerts and a
grand opera season, all Of which sig
nifies an awakening OF aesthetic in.
terest The state of Minnesota Is also
trying some interesting experiments In
efforts to popularize art and an art
exhibit was made as usual this year
one of the social features of the Min
nesota state fair. The exhibit COM
prised a group of paintings by New
York and eastern artists, group will
paintings by Chicago artists and a still
larger group Of paintings by Mime
sofa artists, the last specially evincing
interest on the part of Minnesotans
and progress in the development of
art in that state. There we're 5000
visitors to the galleries in which
these exhibits were shown on the day
of the opening of the fair, one-third
of the total attendance, and the inter-
est continued in like proportion from
day to day,
During November lGG7 visitors
from outside Of Santa Fe registered
at the museum, making a total of
9,614 since New Year As one IN
