HAIL FUND NEEDS
THREE MILLION

IN. The hail insurance division Of Com
missioner Olsness' Office has received
s12.153 claims for indemnity from
farmers whose growing crops were
damaged by hail. The department
has checked over 4 1893 Of these claims
as adjusted, and it finds that they call
for the payment Of $1,258,9O6.46 in
indemnities. It is estimated that the
department will be obligated TO the
payment Of not less than s.. OOO, 900
when ali the claims now on hand are
finally adjusted. .y5.
Early in the season the average per
individual claim was but $166. Re
Gently the average has increased TO
$3.50; the number Of claims is much
greater, and the percentage OF claims
which, upon investigation, disclose
actual losses is greatly enhanced. Out
Of 3O1 adjustments reported yester-
day it was disclosed that only IL
claims reported to the Office had re-
vealed no loss when finally mvestl-
gated.
Insurance Commissioners Olsness
has recently estimated that the aver,
age assessment per acre which will
be asked Of farmers whose crops are
protected through the state hail de-
partment will be 435 cents. Early in
the season the commissioners esti-
mate was but 20. This 35-cent tax
will be spread over about 100000
acres of land, whose owners did not
avail themselves of the withdrawal
privilege prior to June Is. In addi-
ton to the 2,625, 900 which this as
sessment will yield, the department
Will have about $75O,000 derived from
fiat tax of three cents per acre to
which all arabic land in the state is
subject. It is now believed that the
aggregate thus provided will suffice to
indemnify all farmers protected
through the bureau and to pay costs
of operating the department.

The opening dance at Clark's hall
last night proved an immense success,
establishing without doubt that the
people Of Valley City differ not a bit
from other normal people the world
over in preferring to dance to real
Jazz music than eat. The dance was
5attendd by some eighty couples who
had come there with the manifest in
5tention Of shaking 10 wicked hoof."
It was lively crowd and insisted up
on continuous action from the orches-
ira. Every one danced all the time,
sitting still was impossible. The or
chestra and the remarkably CLASSY
floor contrived to make anything but
dancing seem a crime. II IS safe to
assume from, the pleased looks Of the
crowd that the dance would be even
better attended the next time. The
hall was very prettily decorated with
ifestoons Of green and red streamers,
several groups Of bells hanging from
the ceiling, and palm plants fplaced
about the windows. The whole pre-
scented q very attractive appearance.
Clark's Jazz orchestfa was en-
gagged. for the occasion and played the
latest snappy, lively dance tunes al
most without cessation. The manage
rn1ent was very well pleased with the
attendance and announces that smother
dance, music obtained from Fargo,
will BE given next Friday. They will
doubtless have an even better attend
ance at that event. Good news trav-

HER FUNCTIONS JUST MERELY
"CHANGED'

It was pointed out by Nonpartisan
league speakers during the campaign
that Miss Nelson's powers would not
be curtailed by the new law, but, IN
many ways enlarged. That did not
mean, however, that in certain res
poets some Of her functions would not
be changed. There could, Of course,
be no unification of the states educa-
tional system without bringing the Of
fee of state superintendent into har-
mony with the rest. Miss Nelson's
previous powers were concerned en-:
tirely with the common schools. If
now in certain respects her powers
are curtaaled- --as in the certification
of teachers-they are enlarged in 9th
ers, since she now has a voice in the
control Of the higher educational IN
stitut;ons. where before she had none,
and of the states hospitals and COR

There you have it. sg
& There is the only explanation Mr..
Townley's papers have yet dared to
make Of the warfare against Miss
Nelson.
Mis- Nelson's functions have been
Changed" Instead Of having charge
of the school system of the state, to
which position she was elected by the
voters, she now "has voice" in the
handling of the state hospitals and
asylums.
( The "voice" consists Of one vote
against four. She has about as much
"vo;ce" on the new board, and about
as much influence, as a temperance
reforner at q saloonkeepers' PICNIC.
To present any argument against
such piffle as the foregoing excerpt,
is to dignity it rnduly. But THAT
ways are Miss Nelson's powers zen
.larged 2" Can she perform one act
that she couldn't perform beforel pro-
vided that the other members OF the
board object? And on the other hand
are not virtually all of the powers of
her office taken from her?
It is an insult to the intelligence of
newspaper readers to present such an
answer as the Courier-News has
done. Surely nobody is fooled by it.
Why, then, not openly admit that sthe
board set out to stget" Miss Nelson,
and frankly ask the voters what they
are "going to do about It
Miss Nelson was elected to the Of
fee of superintendent of public in
struction by the largest vote ever cast
for any candidate for that Office.
She was virtually removed from the
Office Of upermtendent Of public in
struction and "given a voice" in the
custodianship Of the lunatics and the
criminals of the state by Rev. Geo. A..
Totem and his three associates.
The voters Of the state didn't elect
her to the job Of caring for the in
sane and criminals. They didn't
want her powers enlarged" in that
direction. They want her to be SUI,
perintendent Of public instruction
with her old powers, and nothing else.
The lunatics and criminals should
