Easter Sunday was special day at all the

the Knight Templars, which was largely at

all pertinent to the day.

The new judge, c. S. Palmer, has made
fine impression so far. In opening the reg
ular April term for the second subdivision
of the Fourth judicial district in this city, he
said: "It is none of our business what the
character of law may be-we are simply to
be guided by its express terms. People are
becoming nervous and restless at the pre-
vailing spirit which permits other considera-
ton than those of justice to be taken into
account in the trial of offenses against the
law.'
Judge Mitchell, a Fargo expert on natural
conditions, lectured at jamestown the past
week, on the subject of storms and proved
by map he had prepared that the cyclones,
tornades and other eruptons that are annoy
ing, have somewhat definite districts assigned
them, and Dakota is not in the belt they
traverse. Of course every true Dakotaian
knew this before, but 1t is gratifying to have
ones opinions justified by demonstration on
a map, and sustained by so eminent an au-
thority.
Gen. w. T. Clark, who has just come on
from Washington to take business charge of
the argus, is reputed to be a gentleman of
rare organizing ability, keen as a hawk, and
as alert and vigilant as an athlete, and withal
a gentleman of rare social and the best
moral qualities. He is well known by most
of the old army men here, and immensely
popular with them. He gave up first-class
position at Washington to come to Dakota,
which he looks upon as the most promising
of all the new sections. The Aryps evidently
had stroke of good fortune in securing
him.

the river is high the back water makes very
pretty lake nearly surrounding Island Park,
and it is proposed to adopt measures to keep
the water there all summer. 1t is said this can
be effected at small expense, aided by the
water works. If so, it would be a feature
that would add UNNECESSARILY to the attrac-
tions of the city. The chief and somewhat
picturesque park of the city would be belted
with a fine body of water, to furnish superb
boatingin summer and good skating in win
