*1. ft Facts Regarding Mouse River Minot has been designated an observation point by the govern ment and each day the velocity and depth of the water of Mouse riv^r is tested. The at s:stantengi neer of the government was here recently and appointed H. L. Wheeler local observer. It was determined that in June but one half fts much water was running as in May. About 200 cubic feet passes a given point each second now. The average velocity is fifty fei't a second. The government is learning all it can reysr ling the livers with a view of irrigating the country if there is ever need )f it. The land could not be irrigated from the Mouse river unless the river was tapped in Canada. Lock of Napoleon's Hair Mrs. E. A. Crokat has perhaps the most, interesting relic in the state of North Dakota. It is a ama'.l lock of hair from the head ef tin? great Napoleon. Mrs. Crokat in company with the doctor visited Europe several years ago spending beveral months in England, Scot land, France ami Italy. A relative of the doctor drew a picture of Napoleon as he lay dead and was thus given an opportunity of getting a lock of the hair. The hair as well as a copy of the draw ing art? in possession of Mrs. Cro kat who secured it from among a lot of old relies. The drawing is an excellent likeness of the great warrior. Farmers Received Benefits Tim Ward county farmers re ceived groat benefit from the excur sion to the Agricultural college at Fargo. What benefited them most was the result of the experiments of growing flax on diseased soil. Flax which was not treated grew up about six inches and died, while that treated, stood close by on the diseased soil looking healthy. Martin Jacobs unsaid: The result of the experiments on flax alone, is ^artl) the cost of rummnp the '1(rSole institution.

MJNOT, WARD ix&aex&siexx&xixx&xxaeMX' Money TO Loan ON IMPROVED LAND§ IN Ward County I ALSO LEND MONEY TO MAKE FINAL PROOFS Jourgen Olson Minot, N. D. To Issue $17,099 Bonds August C», a special election1 is called to vote upon the issuing of bonds in the sum of 817,000 for re funding of outstanding indebted ness and building now school house. This mutter should bo looked after by every voter in the district Our school house .in crowded at the present time. Last winter there were hardly enough seats for those who attended. A building could lie erected on the north side of the river at an ex pense of $4,IKK) which would ac commodate all of the members of the primary grades, giving the jirescnt building to those of the higher grades. Minot is growing cuid the membership of the school will be larger next year than ever. The old w.an antscan le taken upaiul new ones secured at considerable less interest so in the end we will gain quite an amount of""money. We would like to see the -4)oiids issued. Money Amidon's Severe Lectu re It iff said that the lecture Judge Aniidou gave E. B. Piuuey when he sentenced him to ton. years in the penintentiary at Sioux Falls. iS. D. for embezzling the people oi' Ward county out of (heir home stead money, was very severe. For lialf an hour or more the judge scored I'inney reviewing his life for twenty-one years past. At the trial ten witnesses were present, all of whom testified that, they had given Pinney money with which to prove up, and in no casn did he turn the money in. Among the witnesses then: wore thn?Q women. The jury were out just tivominutes. A Big Dairy Business (I. P. Russell, who lives on see. 4-133-84, is making a great suc cess of the dairy business. He milks 27 cows and brings "to Minot each week about 110 pounds of but ter. He has his regular customers and makes a tirst-clasB arti cle which sells readily at 2o cents a pound. Mr. Russell fraught a United States separator from Eric Hus tad for §100 and separates all of his cream,which is partly the cause for the fine butter he males. Too Much Confidence J. C. Hoff states th'at his town site is exempt from the many debts which he has so his creditors will have to whistle for their money or satisfy themselves with taking about ten per cent 011 the dollar from the goods which are in the furniture store. Mr. Hotfs debts are many hundreds of dollars more than were first expected. The greiit failure surprises thos*1. who had so much confidence in Mr. Hoif. He was doing a good busi ness and then seems to be 110 rea son for the failure. Defeat For Granville At last Minot succeded in de feating Granville. One of the hottest games of the season was played on the local grounds Sun day afternoon. Up until the ninth inning, the score stood throe to three. Minot secured her last inn ing and the Granville pitcher threw a wild ball. This excited the visiting team and the Minot boys ran in eight scores. Clmi ville will now have to admit that her. team is not invincible. Farmer has Sixteen Wells. V. Nicliish. a farmer residing ten mile. north of Minot, has rixtvn deep -wells on his farm. There is water in but two of them ami the supply will not. bo sufficient for his stock. Mr. Niekish recently spent si month building a large stou" barn. The material cost him near ly thirty dollars and It: figures that, lie lias a barn worth at least He will build a tine stone house. Road Cart TelescjpcJ Dr. Hyivlmaa's pueuiu itic tired sulky was telescoped Monday even ing shortly before the doctor en tered the horae in the raoas and w«.s damaged badly. The doctor left the horse standing in front of his office and the train frightened the anitnal. The wheel was caught between the horse nndl&c curbing aud smashed. No oue wa3 injurad, Blaisdells in Califorinia Mr. aud Mrs. Alfred, Blaisdell left Suiulay for California, wkere they will ejpand several weeks vie#.' ing the most interesting' paints, l$.iby Blaisdell is reoaiviug the team t- visit' very best of c.vre at the hospital. Mrs. Blaisdell in bidding lier COUNTY. friends good bye^it the depot Sun day morning, did not attempt to get on the train until after it started and came near falling under the wheels. For several rods fihe held bv her arms until dragged to the*platform. The crowd on the depot platform stood breathless until she was safely aboard. To Build New Business Mouse E. D. Kelley has deci$l«d to build a tvo story brick building ori the site of the old building now occupied by McKone Bros., the grocers. The building will be two stories high and modern in every particular. It. will be two feet wider the the present building. During tin construction of the new building, McKone Bros, will con tinue in business here and will oc cupy the new rooms as soon as completed. A basement will be placed under the whole building.# New School House For Granville Granville will have anew $4000 school building on the hill in that city where it was hoped to locate the court house. At an election held in that city last, week, by a very close vote, it, was decided to bond the district and prepare a place for the young Americans. Heretofore, the children have had to walk two miles in the country to school. The people outside the town opposed the proposition to build a new school house. The building will be erected before fall. Fred Spath now has charge of tlio Osborn MoMillan elevator in this city. P. L. Hodge has been engaged to go on the road for the company as auditor. Prof. F. \\7. Putnam and wife of Cambridge, Mass., are visiting with their daughter Mrs. JohnH. Lewis. Prof. Putnam is connected with the Peabody Museum of Archae ology and Ethnolgoy. THE WARD COUNTY INDEPENDENT. Piano Fails From Wagon Quite an accident occurred to a new piano which was being loaded at the Leland department store Monday morning. The drayman'? horses started up and the heavy piano rolled to the ground with a crash. It was broken several places and was racked considerably. It. can be repaired so that it will be nearly as good as new. M. S. Williams spent several days at Devils Lake. J. M.

Five of these great engines arrived here this week, and will probably remain On the terminal of the Dakota and Montana Division. They are made by the American Loeomo tive Co., and have all the modern improvements, and are much heavier and larger than any of the other engines at this point. As freighters the 1300 class are the most powerful in the G. N. use today, weighing 180 tons and capable of drawing 2,000 tons. This will do away with the much disputed double head ers. .h Mri.

They have secured an "All Star Course" which will include five of the best entertainments, that can be procured. No one can dis pute the reputation of John Temple Graves as being one of the most pleasing and intellectual lectures of the present day. His lectures have a southern color, interspersed with huruor and pathos. Those who have heart! Mr. Graves, said they would never miss hearing him again and the people of Mmot will have a treat they cannot af ford to loose. Another number is a male quartette coming well recommended, also the southern jubilee singers who have won for themselves a musical reputation worthy of note. It is not necessary to speak of the qualities of such an able lecturer as Father Clarey, for many have already heard him and he cornea to us with the assurance of entertaining us in a manner long to be remembered. This course will begin sometime in the fall, the dates not being settled yet. A nominal sum will be charged for a season ticket, which will bo within the reach of all. The efforts of the Epworth League in this undertaking should be heartily endorsed by all and when tickets are presented let Minot give a hearty helping hand. Welcomed The Tcacbars The two hundred school tcaehers who are attending the summer school here were given a reception by the citizens of Minot in the opera house last night which they will never forget. A large crowd attended and were received by Mesdames J. S. Murphy, A. P. Slocum, R. H. Emerson, J. E. McKonnc, C. Aur land and J. G. Moore. The opera h«.u.s: never appeared so beautiful as it dii filled with the throngs of beautifully gowned women. An interesting pro gram was rendered. (J. L. Bickford presided. He told of the growth of the schools of Ward county. There are now 166 schools in the county and more than 5000 children of school a{,re. A qi.a tit comjjosed of Prof. Wolfe, Shelley b.

Wilson, of Cleveland, 0., to Adah Herriugton liequa, of Kansas City, recently caused great surprise among their friends at Kansas C.ty, Mo, for the reason that Mr. Wilson came to Kansas City to marry another' young woman, who changed her mind a short time before the day set for the wedding and broke off the engagement. In the summer of 1900, when the democratic national convention met In this city, Harry Wilson attended the convention as delegate. During- bis •Ujr In tbe city he met Miss Clifton Mills and her closest friend, Miss Adah Requa. Mr. Wilson took particular fancy to Miss Mills and after returning to Cleveland he began corresponding with her and made frequent vislt3 to Kan sas City to see her. In due time the young people became engaged and tha wedding day was fixed. The other day Mr. Wilson came to Kansas City tot the wedding. After a short visit from her be trothed, Mis3 Mills suddenly changed her mind and broke off the engage* ment. Mr. Wilson appeared to be very much grieved, but he had come to Kansas City to be married and did not intend to have his trip for nothing, so he laid siege to the heart of Miga Uequa* the friend, who capitulated within 48 hours. They were married and. have gone to Cleveland, where they will occupy the home prepared for Miss Mills. PREACHER PLAYS BASEBALL.

Mr. Giffln has relieved the~anx« Jous minds of his parishioners by an-* nouncing that he is going to,stay and will not accept the offer of a big flock In the up-state town at more than dou ble his present salary. "In the first place, thijjs a delight ful spot, is filled with delightful people, and I feel as though I can do lots of good and help many people here," he said. "And then, you know, I like to play ball. Even $1,800 more a year couldn't stop me from playing baseball. Why, when they sent for me and told me they want ed me at $3,000, I told them I wanted to think |t over. I told them I played first base, pitched well, rode a bicycle, played tennis, and if I came I wanted them to realize that I wasn't treating the cloth with lack of dignity if I con tinued at the manly sports. "But the deacons up there shook their heads and said 'No' very firmly. They told me to think it over, and I did. sent them word this week that I would rather stay here and playball at *1,200 than go up there and not play ball at $3,000. _That was final, and here I am." Rev. Mr. Gifflh is 29 yeafs old, tall, broad-shouldered and an all-around ath lete. REFUSES TO LEAVE PRISON. Term of PtnnnjrlrHl* Banker Ex* Rn( He Will. JSot Accept Vreedom—Tlioni Kt to Be Inaane.

Mamtaolh G. N. Engines The G. N. Rv. Co. recently pur chaatft a number of large engines from the Brooks Works at Dun kirk, NY. Five of these "great engines arrived here this week, and will probably remain on the temiiual of the Dakota and Montana Division. They are made by the American Locomo tive Co., and have all the modern improvements, and are much heavier and larger than any of the other engines at this point. As freighters the 1800 class are the most powerful in the J. N. ust? today, weighing 180 tons and capable of drawing 2,000 tons. This will do away with the much disputed double head ers. Mra.

'.•"Star Lecture Coarse." Another number is a male quartette coming well recommended, also the southern jubilee singers who have won for themselves a musical reputation worthy of note. It is not necessary to speak of the qualities of such an able lecturer as father Clarey, for many have already heard him and he conies to us with the assurance of entertaining us in a manner long to be remembered. This course will begin sometime in the fall, the dates not being settled yet. A nominal sum will be charged for a season ticket, which will bo within the reach of all. The efforts of the Epworth League in this undertaking should be heartily endorsed by all and when tickets are presented let Minot give a hearty helping hand.

In due time the young people became engaged and the wedding day was fixed. The other day Mr. Wilson came to Kansas 'City tot the wedding. After a short visit from her be trothed, Misa Mills suddenly changed her mind and broke off the engage* ment. Mr. Wilson appeared to be very much grieved, but he had come to Kansas City to be married and did not intend to have his trip for nothing, so he laid siege to the heart of Misa hequa-, the friend, who capitulated within 48 hours. They were married and. have gone to Cleveland, where they will occupy the home prepared for Miss Mill3. PREACHER PLAYS BASEBALL.

"In the first place, thlsls a delight ful spot, is filled with delightful people, and I feel as though I can do lots of good and help many people here," he said. "And then, you know, I like to play ball. Even $1,800 more a year couldn't stop me from playing baseball. Why, when they sent for me and told me they want ed me at ?3,000, I told them I wanted to think it over. I told them I played first base, pitched well, rode a bicycle, played tennis, and if I came I wanted them to realize that I wasn't treating the cloth with lack of dignity if I con tinued at the manly sports. ''But the deacons up there shook their heads and said 'No' very firmly. They told me to think it over, and I did.- I sent them word this week that would rather stay here and play ball at $1,200 than go up there and not play ball at #3,000. That was final, and here I am." Rev. Mr. Gifflh is 29 yeats old, tall, broad-shouldered and an all-around ath lete. REFUSES TO LEAVE PRISON.

The commissioners then asked him to sign the usual statement as to Insolvency and petition for his release, hut this he steadily declined to do. He alleges that he has plenty of assets, but will not disclose them, and does not pro pose to perjure himself In order to get out of jail. Several years ago Purvis gained great notoriety by advertising in a Baltimore paper that he would Say the debts of Purvis Co., bankers, of Baltimore, his father and grandfather, who had failed some time in the '40s with debts of several hundred thousand dollars.
