One o£ the senators from Ward county, Martin Anderson «oC Staii-j ley, worked tooth and nail, to de feat the bill, so It is said. The Independent understands that Anderson stated that Ward county did not need 'the Normal School, _' and rather favored the bill provid ing for a Normal School for each county in the ®tate, which was sprung by those opposing the Mi not hill, at the lastmoment, in the last futile effort to knock out our bill. The idea of such Normal schools answering the purpose o! a well equipped Normal is prepos terous, and besides Gov. Burke who looked into the proposition thoroly, declared that such a bill •would be unconstitutional, and tlita If passed he would certainly veto it.

Rice from Tow ner, -who realises that his days are numbered: unless he can come home from the legislature covered with glory, -worked with might and main to knock out the passage of the Minot bill. Rice simply would not be convinced that thef measure would be a good one, not only for Minot but for Velva and Towner as well, either of which towns are but an hour's ride from thisclty. The hlU first came- tip in the house and was passed by the very handsome majority of 61 to 20, Last Saturday the identical same bill came up In the senate and was passed by a vote of 40 to 2, slv be ing absenit or present and not vot Ing.
