VETERAN INDIAN
MISSIONARY DIES
Rev. Father Martin Kenel
Succumbs in Bismarck
Hospital

Bismarck, n. D., Aug. /. - Rev.
Father Martin Kenel, passed away
at st. Alexius hospital, where since
1910 he had served as chaplain to
the Benedictine sisters. Father
Martin was one of the Dakotas' old
est missionary priests engaged in
Indian work. From October, 1884,
until 1906 he served efficiently as
superintendent of the Kenel Indian
school, named in his honor, in South
Dakota. His influence among his
Indian friends was notable, and hun
dreds of his former pupils, grown to
manhood and womanhood, will
mourn his passing.
The Rev. Martin Kenel was born
in Arch, Switzerland, on June 4, 1854.
He studied classics and philosophy
at Einsideln, the most famous Bene-
dictine monastery in Switzerland,
preparing himself for the priesthood
to which ne was ordained at Concep-
ton, Mo-, Sept. 20. 1877, four years
after his arrival in this country.
Seven years after his ordination he
entered upon his life work with the
Indians of the then southern portion
of Dakota territory, in which he re-
manned until eleven years ago. He
had served seven years as chaplain
at st. Alexius, where his kindly
gentle spirit had won for friends all
with whom he came in contact.
The remains were taken last even
ing, to Conception, Mo-, where the
last rites will be held Thursday
morning.

HASTY MARRIAGE WILL
NOT BRING EXEMPTION
Freedom From Draft Will Not Neees-
sarily Result From Wedding
Says General Crowder.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Aug. 1. - Hasty
marriages made since the army draft
drawing, in an effort to escape con-
scription, will not be considered
ground for discharges unless the
wife is actually dependent on the
husbands daily labor.
Prompted by reports from many
cities of marriage license bureaus
besieged by men included in the first
draft call, Provost Marshal General
Crowder yesterday ruled that
marriage is not of itself a valid
ground for making claim for dis
charge"
Dependency is matter of fact, not
of law, General Crowder pointed out.
"A man whose wife is mainly de-
pendent on his daily labor for sup
port he said, may claim exemption
on that ground Where dependency
is claimed and circumstances show
a marriage hastily contaminated
since July 90 by man whose num-
actual fact of dependency must be
closely scrutinized."
Moreover, General Crowder de-
clared, women who marry men mere
ly to aid them to be slackers, are
liable to prosecution under the draft
act.
Fears that delays in obtaining ma
terials and sufficient labor for army
cantonments, would postpone the
mobilization long past Sept. l, were
dissipated yesterday by an an
nouncement by Secretary Baker that
reports indicate everything will be
in readiness, or nearly SO, in another
month.

PRINCESS

THE Candy Girl" featured at the
Princess today and Thursday, is a
photo play of exceptional strength
All hens do not lay golden eggs.
Nelrs chickens were of this sort, but
her fudge making was the talk of
the country side. Nell was called the
candy girl by the youngsters. who
eagerly devoured her fudge. Candy
| indicates sweetness" and that pleas
ant trait was one of the chief
characteristics of the sunny-h=arted
girl. Speaking to her aunt, Nell eX-
claimed, Were going to New York, 3"
and l am going to make candy for
everyone there. and we're going to
be rich" AS Nell ruled her little
family, the following week found her
established in New York, the proud
possessor of a little store, not far
from the great white Way"
In the midst of her happiness, the
mem enter into Nell's life, one a
musician, and the other, Jack Mon
roe, the idle son of a millionaire. In
ducing the musician to play ragtime,
instead of operate compositions,
Nell leads him to the road of success,
while Jack Monroe for the first time
experiences the first impulses of
goodness. Aspiring to win Nells
favor, Jack tries to make good. Lis
tening to his earnest pleadings, Nell
marries Jack, and is brought to his
home. Jacks father was opposed to
his marriage, but being introduced
to Nell, he tells her the secret. For
several years my boy has been adj
dicted to the terrible habit of using
drugs" he said. "All efforts to save
him have been useless. as he has
fallen too far into the clutches of this
most terrible curse" Stunned by the
revelation, Nell listened silently un-
til the father offered to secure an an
nulment of the marriage. Refusing
the offer, Nell rushes to Jack, throw
ing her arms about him, saying. we
will return to my little country
home, and there Wen wage the fight
together"

$4,000 INCOME
OF INTERSTATE.
SAYS SECRETARY
Exceed Local Show Re.
ceipts Two Years Ago by
$4,000 Report Shows

Total receipts for the six days OF
the Interstate fair amounted to $780,
600, according to figures given out
this morning by Secretary r. w. Nc
Roberts of the fair association. This
is about $4,000 more than the gate
receipts for the Interstate fair held
two years ago. Receipts for the
North Dakota fair held year ago
amounted to $4,000, besides the
state appropriation of $4,000. y
1T is little too early to state
whether we will clear the boards, 7
said Secretary McRoberts this morn
ing. "A large number of bills are
still outstanding and it may be a
week or more before we can make a
statement to this effect, but as mat
ters stand now, it is very probable
that the fair will clear indebtedness
for the year."
Next year Fargo will have the
state fair which brings an appro-
priation of $4,000 from the state.
