Washburn, N. D., Nov. 2—With only half a dozen Spanish influenza cases in Washburn, and none so far serious, the schoo] board here has decided to keep the sschools closed fo ranother week. This is due partly to a realization on the part of the board of the need of precaution and also that some of the teachers are doing nurse duty. At several.of the towns in McLean county, thé, epidemic has been quite serious. Twelve new cases, for in- stance were reported at Underwood jyesterday. | With the disease also tak- jing down many in the country, there are not enough nurses to go around.

Mr, Hoagland, cay-, ered tha’ entire period of the develop: ment of the, territory and state. He assisted in the building of fort Yates when it was necessary to make a military provision to hold the Sioux in. check, and helped to build old Fort Lincoln. He now, a hale and hearty man, looking ten years younger than he's, looks on at the development of a state that knows nothing ¢f the Indian and is the climax of civiNzed prosperity. The entire history of the state and territory is comprised in the life of one ‘prominent state and} city builder. Mr. Hoagland was born in Sweden,; Detober 29, 1840, and when, at the age of twenty-eight, he arrived in Minne: cota he brought with him what was of actual value to the pioneer—a thor- ough knowledge of the carpenter’s tirade. He came to Eismarck in 1873 on the first train running into the olace. The train was held just out of town while the tracklayers put down che iron for it to run on. That arrival puts him among that small band. of men who survive, who were pioneers of ’73 and of whom he is classed as the most substantially successful, Bis-| marck was then an unkempt and wild frontier town with plenty of residents ready for anything but work. Mr. Hoagland was different to the otners of this class in that he was ready for work and he went directly at it. In the early days he had many exciting experiences and on one occasion, when he was at work on the construc- tion of Fort Lincoln he narrowly es- caped with his life. He had been pick-; ing berries with some comrades when: the party was surpriséd by a-band of | Sioux. The Hoagland party was part-} ly hidden from the Indians. being in; a ravine, and the white men made| their way close to the walls of the; fort and then made a dash for it, ar-} riving in the nick of time. He engaged in contracting and} ~uilding in 1874. He was not famil-j iar with English and he studied night |‘ and day until he perfected himself in the language. But what he lacked in knowledge of the language he made up in knowledge of the building trade and his work was of a character that endured. For twenty-six years he was the most active of the builders on the slope. His reputation for business ca- pacity and his well-known integrity forced him into politics and he was elected to the office of treasurer of Burleigh county it 1892 vs an inde: pendent. ' After two years in office the Repuvlicans nominated and elected him for a second term. His political success was due to his standing with the people, for. it was notorious that much money and effort was Wasted in the attempt to defeat him. , Since his retirement from active; business in building in 1900 Mr. Hoag- land has devoted his attention to: his large property intercsts and looking after several big farms in Burleigh county. The samg intel-igent energy which made him a successzul builder has made his farmiv~ highly success- ous business man in the prime of life who is content with the world. He had’ his. permanent home in Bismarck and was affiliated with the Lutheran church, 5 taser w. 8.5. ‘WOMEN JOIN IN WAR DEMAND.

New York, Nov. 2.—With the death toll placed at 98, rigid investigations are under way by the public servic: : committee ,and district attorney, to determine the blame for the wreck last night of a Brighton Peach train of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Co.

General Diaz has submitted terms of an armistice to the Aus- trian high command. _. These terms' were formulated by the allied war council at Ver- falllestee which was sent the Austrian appeal for a cessation of ostiiities. Tears Line to Pieces. General Pershing’s army tore the German line to pieces north- west of the Meuse yesterday morning. The Americans advanced tore to four miles. Several villages and fortified woods were jtaken. along the Aisne river north of Vouziers, and made rapid progress toward Le Chesne, an important railroad point. If this town is reached, the German forces still holding the Boult forests will be outflanked, and a hasty retreat from the Boult is probable. Suc- cess by the French and Americans in clearing the Germans out of the forests and ravines in this region will remove the enemy from the last great barrier to the rear. x British divisions south of Valenciennes struck a swift blow yesterday and that city is now virtually subdued. GERMANY’S DEBACLE. Washington, Nov. 2.—The debacle of Germany’s allies is being pressed to completion, General March said today, and events of the jpast week have resulted in the concentration of enemy resistance ‘in one nation. Resistance of Germans on the west front has con- ‘tinued and the greatest allied advance has been registered on the Italian front, where an aggregate advance of 37 miles was made. “This has been accomplished,” he added. ‘ General March identified the American forces in Italy as the 332nd infantry regiment, with ambulance battalions 5, 6, 11, 12 and 18, field hospital 102. Decided Pocket. In addition, there are certain air service training units. The new Franco-American attacks on both sides of the Argonne has progressed to such an extent that a decided - pocket has been formed in the German line, indicating the necessity of an early. |withdrawal fromi the northern portion of the Argonne iorests. | This would bring the American forces. with their heaviest artillery \nearest the German lines through Stenay.

Retailers nay now |sell a 30 day’s supply on this basis. “The hotel rules will be altered by tan official order in a few days.
