recent Teacne ie, for which
he asked adoption By standing vote,
endorsing Miss Burr for reelection,
was poorly conceived and ill-timed.
School districts do not pay teachers
full time while attending teachers in
stitute for the purpose Of converting
the institutes into political conven-
tions. Voters who may hold opposing
views as to the needs Of the schools
and the best methods Of promoting
their efficiency viii severely condemn
tactics of that kind and may go SO
far as, to demand the repeal Of the
law that provides for the full time
payment Of teachers attending insti-
tutes and require that teachers shall
like the farmers, be compelled to bear
their own expense while attending POI
litical conventions. The people who
have been accusing the farmers of
taking politics into the schools are
the very people who are practicing it,
and the Bottineau School Board, to
clean themselves Of any connection
with this political move, should de-
mand the resignation Of Politician
Walker. .sf:. H. .ssss, zs z..... Il

HENNESSY CAPTURES
MURDER SUSPECT

Leonard Miller, charged with mur-
der in connection with the alleged
Staying of William Mahlstedt of NAH
towa, Mimi, near here, sometime in
August, this year, continues to deny
to authorities that he was in any man
ner connected with the crime, Sher-
iff Hennessy said. Miller's home is
at Harlem, Mont, and he was brought
here last week in. the custody of Mr..
Hennessy, who, together with detect
ives have been working on the case
since Mahlstedt's body was found on
Sept. 5, hidden underneath a hedge
about five miles west of this city.
The accused mans father is here,
and is assisting his son to obtain coun-
sci, for the preliminary hearing.
As yet young Miller has not signi-
fed his intentions as: to whether he
will demand a preliminary examina-
tion. when arraigned ar waive. -
He IS being quizzed by The .authori-
ties in, an effort to have him explain
some ON the detailed points of the
story he has told, which, according to
Mr.. Hennessy does not coincide with
evidence which he has secured in the
case. " 4 ..
Miller, about "a years old, is a
draper appearing young fellow, about
five feet 10 inches tall, and a neat
dresser. Although he announced at
first that he would fight extradition
to North Dakota from Montana, he
later changed his mind and decided to
accompany Mr.. Hennessy here for
trial. *.yc a.. "
When arrested ait Chinook, Mont,
Miller had an automobile in his pos
session which is believed to have, been
stolen from Mahlstedt ait the time he
was murdered. sSs s5.>ss1 ss:ssssst
Miller and a man by the name of
Grey worked for Nichol Mack, west
of Bottineau this summer ard this
fall, or a day or two before Mahlstedt
was murdered left the Mack farm
but later called Mr.. Mack from either
Leeds or Rugby, saying they had Sc
cured a separator man Tor him and
that they would send him up. It is
supposed that one or probably both
of these fellows accompanied Mr.
Mahlstedt up here and when west of
the city shot him for his car and about
$40 he had on his person. i .@
To date nothing has been heard OF
Grey but detectives are looking for
him and it is expected he will be aprg
pretended before long.

j. A. McGovern writes from Cavalier
that 40 per cent Of the potatoes in
that section are not dug because no
cers are available to haul them away.
In letter to the editor Mr.. McGovern
S. vs.: So
"The empty car situation here IN
the potato country is something fie~:s.
Potatoes are piled up at all stations
and about 40 per cent dug. The rail-
roads are sending their empties up
into Canada and there they are loaded
with wheat and hauled through cur
country. 1t would seem as though
this Canadian wheat could wait for
a few months until the potatoes are
disposed of. The Courier-News should
bring this matter to the attention Of
the railroad commission here in North
Dakota and at Washington, d. c."

CITY POLITICS DEAD AS /
DOORNAIL.

All is quiet along the political
Potomac, not ripple stirring any
where. No further candidates have
appeared since our last issue and with
the tine for filing expiring last Satur-
day the list of candidates to go on the
official ballot is now complete and can
not be enlarged.
The candidates whose names will
appear on the official ballot are the
following: Mayor, DR.. L. A. Fritsche;
City Clerk, Wr.. P. Backer; City
Treasurer, Gottlieb Oswald; Coun-
cilors, 1st ward, Jerry Reardon; second
ward, EMIL Mueller; third ward, VIM.
Lieb; fourth ward, year, Fred Ha-
mann; fourth ward, two years, Frank
Niemann.
There were no filings for city justices
and none for city constables. The
present incum bents having these offices
will depend upon enough of their
friends to write in their names to Sc
cure their election. In view of the
fact that there is no opposition, it will
not require many votes to insure their
election. s
Yesterday was registration day at
the eight different voting precincts Ct
the city. There was nothing doing
in any of the voting precincts and by
noon no voter had been registered in
any of them. Shortly after 1 o'clock
one lone voter made his appearance at
the polling place in the municipal
building.
The fact that no other names appear
on the official ballot will nSt prevent
the voter from voting for some can
didates other than those on the official
ballot. They can write in the name of
any candidate that they prefer to vote
for and place cross after the name.
Stickers can also be used and pasted
in the vacant space. There is current
but as yet unconfrmed rumor that
at least one of the candidates on the
official ballot will have opposition Of
this kind. ss.s5

LARGE AUDIENCE ENJOYS
A RARE MUSICAL TREAT

Judging from the expressions of un-
stinted praise by music lovers who had
the pleasure of listening to the excellent
entertainment offered last Friday eve
ming by the Ladies Aid Society Of the
Congregational Church, it was in
questionably rare treat.
The violinist, Lillian Nippert Zelle,
and the pianist Margaret Hicks Schmitt
had in the past delighted favored New
Ulm audiences, but Friday evenings
concert offered an opportunity for a
larger number of lovers Of worth while
music to enjoy their masterful playing.
/, The soloist, Mildred Ozias de Vries
made her local talent debut on this
occasion and fully justified all expec-
tations.
AS usual Mrs. Zelle displayed mas
terry of her instrument in a marked de-
gree. Her tone is beautiful. her in
donation excellent. Authorities speak
of her as an artist mature in musical
knowledge and expression, and highly
trained in technical skill.
Mrs. Schmitt's wonderful acconpani
ments greatly enhanced the rendition
of the soloists, but she was brilliant
in her three solo numbers.
The "Jubia" Negro Dance) and Mac
Dowell's ''To a Waterlily'' were de-
lightfully rendered and drew forth
expressions of admiration. However,
her rare skill was the more convincing
ly displayed in Chopin's Scherzo =
:Bfat minor Such wonderful playing
proclaims her an artist of extraor-
binary talent.
Her pleasing personality and wonder
full quality of voice won for Mrs. de
Vries warm spot in the heart OF
every member of her large and appre-
ciative audience. She won immediate
favor thru her appealing and unaffected
style and her listeners seemingly became
more and more euraptured as her we'll
selected and varied program progressed.
Her articulation and enunciation were
exceptional.
The Reader, Glad Burnside Stress
guth, locally we'll known and highly
popular on account of her unusual
ability, was accorded a rousing ova-
ton. Her great experience and excel
lent training have given her fine stage
and she did full justice to
'sThe Man Who Came Back" Her
second offering was as enthusiastically
received as her first number.
All of the artists generously respond
ed with encores and it was apparent
throughout the entire program that
they had succeeded in touching that
subtle response chord so necessary for
complete success on the stage.
Every number was greeted with
spontaneous applause and all listeners
left Turner Hall delighted, and grateful
to the Ladies Aid Society for making
available such wonderful entertain
ment.

STORY OF "THE LOST
ROMANCE"
At the Lyric Friday and Saturday
This Week.

Eliza beth Erskine, rich, unmarried
woman of uncertain age but very
comely, who has sorrowed because of a
broken romance in her earlier life,
entertains her nephew Allen Erskine,
young physician and his friend, Mark
Sheridan, an explorer, and invites
Sylvia Hayes, young librarian, over
to spend her vacation at the home.
Both men fall in love with the girl, who
finally chooses Erskine Broken
hearted, Mark leaves for an exploration
tour and wins great fame and success.
As the years go by, Sylvia finds no
romance in the marriage with the
young physician, who devotes most of
his time to his studies and his patients,
and decides she made a mistake in not
choosing Mark. The latter returns
while Sylvia and Allen are again visit
ing at Aunt Betty's home, and seeing
Sylvia's discomfort, declares his love
for her.
Sylvia frankly tells Allen that she
loves Mark. Aunt Betty, seeing what
is about to happen, makes it appear
that the child of Sylvia and Allen has
been abducted. The loss of their
child again brings them together and
Sylvia realizes that the love of herself
and Allen for the child has bound them
inseparably and when Mark returns
from Aunt Betty's with the child,
Sylvia tells him their love is hopeless.
AS the story closes, Mark becomes
reconciled to his lost romance and it
appears that Aunt Betty herself, who
finds that she loves again for the second
time in her life, will be the one, to
comfort him throughout the years to
come.
