CALLS STORK "BUNK"

Mandan, N, D., Sept. t2 N)--Dis- patches from New York yesterday that Sitting Bull was a Mason and had been exalted as a royl rch M- son were characterized as pure bunk" by E. A. Ripley, past grand master of the North Dakota grand lodge, A. r. x A. M, today.
 Sitting Bull would have been un- able to take the obligation, as he was a medicine man and could not profess his faith in God Mir. Rip ley said. Furthermore, there was no Masonic lodge in Dakota terri tory in 1876. Not only that, but Sitting Bull was too little liked by any white man to conceive of his being passed for membership.
 Tt is just another of those wild west yarns; bunk, just pure unadul- terated bunk"

SLIGHT. DECREASE IN REGISTRATION Total School Figure, t,O6S, Is
 Seven Less Than Last Year KENSINGTON SCHOOL LEADS
Superintendent Pleased With Opcn-
 of SChools-Bcrlin Postmaster
 Weds This Aftenoon--Trolley < Rails Subject of Complaint.

The total registration in the Ser lin schools on Wednesday, the open ing day of the fall term, was 1908, according to figures released today at the office of the superintendent of schools. This number is just seven less than last years figure.
 Of this total Kensington had tho highest individual registration of the schools, the figure at that institu- tion standing at 492. This was fol- lowed by the Worthington school, with 15i, the Hubbard school, 146; Ledge school, 65; Percival school, GA; Selden school, 64; Blue Hills school, 4S. and South school Sj.
 Since Wednesday pupils have been transferred to some extent from one school to another in order to relieve congestion at some and to fill out at others. This has been true at the Sclden school, where some children hay been transferred from tho Wor- thington and Kensington schools. The Ledge school has also received some children from the kensington school, as has the Worthington school.
 The efgect of the brick strike is seen in the schools, according to Miss Mary Griswold, , the superin- tera.rnt. She called special attention to the Sclden school, the registration Of which was cn less than the open ing day of last year. This Is &C., cocunted for by the fact that some families from that district have nov ed out as a result of the strike, some of them going to kensington, where their children are enrolled in the Kensington school The latter insti- tuition showed an increase of 54 over last vars opening day figur-s.
 Miss Griswold said today that she would not have been surprised if there had been a much greater diff ference between last years total and this years total. She said that she really expected that the figure this term would. be much Is than that Of last seoson. Eyidentally there have been families moving in just as fast as others have moved out, she stated.
 l The Warrington school shows . decrease of IS, in comparison with last years figure.
 4 new fifth grade has been open ed at the Ledge school, because of the fact that the Kensington Gram mar school will be unable this year to care for the children in that par ticular fifth grade. The class was made up In former times of children from the Ledge district and the transferring Of that grade to the school there will make it much handler for the youngsters, many of whom had considerable ground 10 cover each morning before arriving at the school.
 Miss Griswold expressed herself as being entirely satisfied with the showing on the opening day. She said that progress has been made since Wednesday and the children have every appearance of having been working at school each day for the past few months, instead of hay inE enioyci a two months vacation. II is usually hard for the children 10 Rnuckle down right away. but they have thls gear, according to the su- perintendsat.
