FARGO.
A Curious Complication in the City
Council.

Special to the Globe.
FARGO, April 16.-The remains of the old
wrangle or some new one crops out in the
new city council. uThe body was a tie on Or
ganization and required several efforts to
unite. The division is more on political lines,
and only experts in local politics can unravel
it. A prominent citizen whose dictionary was
lost in a fire publishes an appeal to the coun-
Gil to ''let the passion of bitter
ness desist and let more animos-
ity prevail, -. The new device re-
sembling planchette, which is said to be tax
ing the place OF progressive euchre in Ohio,
has been introduced in Fargo and promises
TO be very popular, as it invariably spells out
that Fargo is to have big boom and crowd
Minneapolis, and the operator is to net mill
ion or two in city lots. 1t is operated by two
parties gently touching q siX-inch table on q
board held in their laps on which is the alpha
bet. A leg OF the table will stop On each
letter needed to spell out the answer to oral
questions. 1t knows everything apparently.
1.-The Yerxa hose company has selected
ament. They will drill often. Two new
saloons have come to the re-
lief of the public Of late....
DR.. Crucial has been year or more past
perfectiDg machine for boring to great
depths, and it is claimed that it will drive pipe
into the ground at the rate of about foot
minute. He expects to have one in operation
here this year, and will, it is said, test his
theory that natural gas may be found in
abundance at depth Of 200 or more feet.
.One of the attorneys, whose children has
been denied attendance at the public school,
in accordance with rule that all must be
vacclnated the past week, made written appli-
cation for their admission, and as it was not
granted, he proposes to ask mandamus and
other legal action to require the board Of ed
ucatlon to show cause, and to determine the
extent of their power in such cases.. The
wife of Attorney Ryan returned the past week
from a visit to her sick father in Canada.
DR.. Wear has gone to Chicago to spend a few
weeks attending course of lectures. 1t is
understood that upon his return he will settle
down and establish q household to
which his patent will be unquestioned. -.
There is quite an amount Of building being
commenced. Among others, the Argus is
looking for g foundation of an elegant block,
the Stein Bros, who put up one OF the finest
three-story business houses last year, are
putting on large addition; Mrs. Swart, who
keeps the high-tOned caravanSary, is building
for sixty rooms. A society has been organ
lied in the Presbyterian church for building
purposes, and its immediate effort will be to
add to the church a vestrY. If the foundry
and other enterprises are put into activity
Aid. Kissner will probably commence to
build handsome block on the site of the old
Sherman house. The amount of building will
no doubt greatly exceed that of last year..
The shower on the morning of the 18th was
the first OF the season to amount to much....
Delegates were appointed in the wards Fri
day night to the general convention of Satur-
day night to name three members of the
board of education for the election next
Tuesday. The board reports a surplus in the
treasury of S43, 900, so that no school tax will
be needed in Fargo the coming year. 1t is
more than half of the local tax.
