UNIVERSITY President Merrifield Resigns After a Continued Service of Twenty- three Years. The citizens of North Dakota as well as his many friends in Northern Minnesota will regret to learn of the resignation of President Merrifield who has been at the head of the North Dakota University for the past twenty-three years. The resig- board on April 3. President Merrifield has been at the head of the institution for the past twenty-three years, and under his direction it has be- come one of the best institutions in the north. Itis rumored his resignation is brought about by the failure of the North Dakota legislature to make appropriations suitable to the needs of the institution, which is growing and needs ad- ditional facilities. nation will be presented to the| LEGISLATIVE GOMMITTEE VISIT NORMAL SCHOOLS After Carefully Investigating Conditions of the Five Schools They Say We Need the Sixth. Rep. J. H. Dorsey of this dis- trict is a member of the legisla- tive committee that is now en- gaged visiting the several state institutions that will subsequent- ly make a report "to the law- makers at the capitol regarding the condition of these institutions and suggest such recommenda- tions as it deems necessary for their maintenance and good gov- ernment. Hon. Dorsey,in a brief conversation with the Glencoe Euterprise, upon his return last” Monday from Moorhead where the committee had in- spected one of the State Normal Schools, did not speak . in very flattering terms regarding the conditions -the committee ob- served. In almost every instance they found the state institutions over crowded, but this difficulty was especially noticeable at the State Normal Schools. Dr. Dor- sey expects to be engaged with this committee for several days yet, before it completes its mis- sion, and he firmly advocates im- mediate action on the part of the legislature to better existing conditions at these institutions. The legislature has fundsat its disposal amounting to about $900, 000, and already bills have heen lintroduced carrying with them !an appropriation of about $2,000, 000 Itishoped that the law makers will work along common sense lines looking toward the proper maintenance of its neces- | sary institutions, before it scat- ters the available funds of the state for less desirable purposes. A move in the right direction would be to fling into the waste paper basket the semi centennial bill and a whole lot of other ex- travagant measures that would | be well and good if we were roll- ing in wealth, but under contrary conditions simply means in- creased burden for taxpayers.

Riddell, sheriff of Cass county, has been re- moved from office on a charge of padding his expense accounts. Gov. Johnson yesterday granted the request of the state board of control that Riddell be removed. The decision was reached after along hearing during the morn- ing, at which considerable docu- mentary evidence was produced. The specific charges made against Riddell were that on two occasions he represented having been accompanied from Walker, the county seat of Cass county, tothe reformatory at St. Cloud, when in reality he was unaccom- panied by a guard. Riddell explained the fact that neither of his guards had ap- peared with him at the reform- atory by saying that they both bad friends in St. Cloud and SHERIFF OF CASS COUNTY IS OUSTED BY GOVERNOR Alexander B.

Gov. Johnson took cunsiderable interest in the testimony and at its conclusion asked Riddell sev- eral questions, but did not geta satisfactory answer. F. P. Lane, attorney for Rid- dell, made several charges dur- ing the hearing that Auditor Iverson had been paying out money for the expenses of sher- iffs taking prisoners from county seats to prisons despite the fact that thenew code repealed thislaw over a year ago. He also alleged that the sheriffs in the state are riding on passes and at the same time charging up transportation to the state and receiving the money.
