ADDITION is
BEING MADE TO
HIGH SCHOOL
Structure to Provide Three
Additional Class Rooms
Only Temporary

Work has been started on an ad-
dition to the Bismarck high school
building which the members of the
board of education hope will relieve
somewhat the crowded condition Of
the present building during the past
two or three years. The present
building was planned for maximum
of 800 students, while during the
past school year the total enrolment
has been around 485, so that it be-
came imperative to take some action
towards securing more room.
While there has been some agita-
tion for new high school building,
members Of the board felt that the
expenditure for such an improvement
might be inadvisable at this time
and decided that the building Of a
temporary addition would relieve the
congestion somewhat and delay the
question Of a new building for few
years. If it succeeds in doing this,
the board believes the $500 which
the addition is estimated to cost will
be we'll spent.
The addition is % 72 feet in
size, IA feet high. and will provide
three additional class rooms capable
Of accommodating 80 pupils each
It is being built on the east side Of
the main wing Of the present struc-
turc and south of the gymnasium. An
enclosed passageway will connect the
addition to the main building, and
the temporary class rooms will be
connected to the present heating
plant.
The new rooms will first be used
at the opening Of school next fall.

BESPEAKER AT
CELEBRA ION
President of State College Ac'
cepts Invitation to De-
liver Address

DR.. John Lee Coulter, president Of

brought along yoke Of oxen and q

in 1873. Both are still living, and
Mr.. Coulter celebrated his Both birth

and the Mandan Chamber of Com
merce, was born on the Coulter farm

of the joint committee in charge
stated.
Interest is very widely spread and
the arrangements are under way
Amplificrs will be placed on the
ground so that crowd of several
thousand people can hear the speech
and the band concert which will be
given by the Shrine band from

BY ARTHUR BRISBANE.
So--.-lk fN0AN


In Paris on Saturday the French
minister of fine arts and many
distinguished private individuals and
public officials attended the unveil-
ing Of a statue to Sarah Bernhardt IN
the Place Malesherbes.
The great actress is shown in the
role of Phedre, as she appeared long
ago, at the Theatre Francois.
The French honor themselves in
erecting this statue to really great
genius among women. And theg
honor the Jewish race, which pro-
duced Bernhardt.
When will men honor the, greatest
of women. those that create the men
that do the worlds work? Do you
/. know of any statue to Nancy Hanks :!
Lincoln is to her what Saint Peters
in Rome is to Michelangelo.
New York witnessed q religious
ceremonial yesterday. such as had
not been seen, outside Of Italy or
Spain, for century.
A great procession of Catholic Dig
nitaries proceeded up Fifth Avenue
to St. Patrick's Cathedral, where
Cardinal Bonzano, sent by the Pope
to Chicago's eucharistic congress, was
solemnly welcomed.
There were nine cardinals leading
the procession Of churchmen. Eight
of them from foreign countries. Ten
archbishops, thirty bishops, dozens OF
monsignori. priests and lesser lights
of the Roman Catholic church were
included in the march to the cathe-
dral, made solemn and impressive by
incense abundantly used along the
route.
The procession encircled Saint Pat
}. ..rick's cathedral, then entered the
building, where throne had been
erected for the Pope's special envoy.
A similar throne awaits Cardinal
Bonzan0 in Chicago.
Other organisations, religious and
others, rise and fall. Many have ap-
peared and disappeared during the
long centuries of christendom. But
the Roman Catholic church goes on
its way, stronger today in this new
country than in any country OF
Europe. There is no more ably man.

senate campaign fund committee
in a spectacular battle Of words over
Wheeler's public charges of expendi-
lures by the ''liquor interests" in
Pcnnsylvania's $2,O0O,00O Republi-
can. primary.
The long awaited clash of wit
nesses between the dry leader and
the fiery Missourian, consistent
prohibition policies, brought an over
flowing crowd to the big committee
room, and provided breathless
climax to the committees cololful
inquiry into Pennsylvania politics.
Wheeler took with him to the wit
ness stand bundle of papers, as if
he were prepared for long siege OF
questioning, running over many
phases Of the leagues activities. At
the outset Reed warned him that he
"had better cancel" other engage
ments for the morning, as the COM
mittee had considerable business to
transact with him.
QucStlOueU 6S ID odlaEy
After bringing out that Wheeler
was born in Ohio Sc years ago, Reed
asked:
"What salary do you get?"
"Six hundred and sixty-six a

"How long have you drawn it?"
"Four or five years."
"What did you get before that?"
$4,000"
"What was your first salary with
the league ?"
"A hundred dollars month, and
sometimes did not get that"
when did you start with the
league!'
"In June, 1894"
He at first only made speeches fol
the league, while he was in college
and got only his expenses.

the fight were very difficult

He figured that in the early years
he received about $33 month, plus
expenses while on the road.
"What salary were you gettlhs II

II can't recall definitely. I thinl
it was $50 or 5000 month"

"Did you collect that?"
