A Mrs, Olson living near that village complains that her two youngest sons, Wilium and Henry, who are under age went into Lengby one night last week and in some se cret manner well known to the hab ituate secured liquor of the saloons there. They passed through the usual stage of hilarity and started their team toward home. Meanwhile the after slumber came upon them and they drove up to a school house to go to sleep. They were discovered in the morning in a very serious condition from exposure, after a search that had been instituted by the frantic mother/ Inquiry started by the mother showed that Lengby saloonkeepers had sold the minors liquor. Compliments For (•room.

He devotes practically all his time to the personal inspection of schools under his supervision, spend ing only Saturday' at his office in Langdon where he employs a sten ographer to look alter tlic clerical work Stock Will Go lip. St. Paul News: The rise in Great Northern stock within the last few days is attributed to the speech of James J. Hill at Grand Forks Tues day. Mr. Hill said he was willing to pay one-third of the expense of draining and reclaiming millions of acres of western lands. Such a step means thousands of new citizens, farms, machinery, wheat iields, grain crops and general pros perity for the country which the Hill lines traverse. It also means millions of tons more freight for those lines Entered Pica of Guilty. Yesterday John Anderson, Ole Berg and Win. Bramer air entered a plea of guilty at Crookston to selling liquor against the law at Posston and were assessed a fine of $?5 and costs each. It was the intention to fight the cases at first sjnd there have been several postponements of tlu hearings for one reason or another.

J.WL a LOUS \i •ft tHVHC Ut 'n New York, Jan. 1J —The typothetae last night gave out the following state ment: "The most significant development today Insofar as the typothetae is con cerned, was the return of a number of union men to one of the. largest typo thetae 'fifms. These men have given up their membership in the union and have acepted the typothetae condi tions. This fact, together with the ar rival of a number of competent men, has added to the confidence of the efn ployers and in their opinion the pros pect tonight is moro satisfactory than at any stage since the strike began. "The number of ew. men now at work in the open shops 'is sixty per cent of the total number that walked out, a distinct gain over last week., "An interesting incident of the printers' strike and one that may form an important test for future strikes, has developed In the filing of four suits for $10,000 each for libel against John H. Delaney, editor of the Unionist, it local labor paper. The plaintiffs are H. Kanegsberg, Edward J). Stewart, Oscar W. -Wells and B. Cadringlon.

On Dec. 30 they resigned from the union and remained in the employ of the company. On Ji.n. 6 the Unionist printed their names in what was call ed a roll of dishonor.' The plaintiffs allege in their petition that they have been charged with being guilty of a dishonorable act and thereby ask dam ages." Boston, Jan. '16.—Football hai^'been abolished at Harvard pending a re form in the game that will be accept- able to the board of overseers, accord ing to an ofllcial announcement today from the university, the discontinu ance of the* game is the result of a vote taken last week at the meeting of the board of overseers.' The over seers accepted unanimously the opin ion of a special committee that the game as at present played Is es sentially bad in every respect, that the methdd of formation encourages trickery and foul play and that the result is bad for the morals of the players as well as for the body. The committee declared that if changes were to be made no man not a mem ber of thp so-called intercollegiate rules committee should have a hand in- it, the committee believing that these persons- are so far committed to the present system that they could not agree to such changes as are ab solutely necessary to produce a decent, clean, pleasurable contest, "in stead of the present barbarous game." STEEUTsirs TRW REPORT IS UNTRUE .':sy Washington, Jan. 16.—In the house today Steenerson of Minnesota, speak ing on personal privilege, referred to the statement in the Boston paper that Roosevelt had said to him that if he had known that Steenerson was op posed to the Philippine tariff and statehood bills he would not have ap pointed Steenereon's man receiver for the general land office at Crookston.

AS MEMORIAL PARK The name for the Grand Forks ceme tery has practically*baen settled.and it will doubtless be known as Memor ial Park. The resuU of the tie meet ing Saturday suggested a new name, or rather two new names. Prairie Lawn and Memorial Park. The names tied were Woodlawn and Evergreen Park. The question was left open and Mrs. Sprague has been registering votes since -that time. The voting will •be completed tonight and the name having the highest number will be ac cepted by the cemetery association. As Memorial Park has four-fifths of all the votes cast,-the question is nrac tically settled. The reason that Memorial Park has become so popular is that the park commissioners have a scheme to com bine the park and cemetery. In this manner it will be possible to beautify both at a much reduced cost. It ,'MNUm 16, 1906 «tye Solicit Your Orders For WOOD rad LIGNITE COAL car lot buyers eveiywhSrie.'
