FARGO, June 15.-Fargo has the best
of reasons for being proud of her volun-
teer fire department, for while the city
has always been very economical in
furnishing proper supplies to subdue
fires, the department has never failed
in efficiency when the test came, and
many of our finest buildings are now
standing through the prompt aud un-
firing labors of the fire boys. Next year
the annual meeting and tournament of
the firemen of North Dakota is to be
held in this city, and it remains to be
seen whether our citizens will show any
interest in the matter and assist in the
entertainment of the guests who will
be here at that time. We have conf
dence to believe they will, and that the
entertainment will be such that the
several departments will vote perma-
nent headquarters in this city. For the
past week a large representation from
the department have been participating
in the tournament at Grafton, and the
best of reports have been received of
them. for all of which thanks are due

MILLER, Dak., June 15.-The Demo
cratic county convention elected the
following delegates to represent Hand
county at the jamestown convention,
July II, viz:
J. j. Smith, A. D. Hill, D. D. Rorrick,
A. JamisOn, j. j. O'Brien, Peter Nash.
No nomination for county superintend-

The Gazette has been transferred to
the Union Labor party, thus leav-
ing the Democratic party of Hand
county without an organ to
advocate its cause. The Union Labor
party is apparently getting strong
enough in this county to make quite
showing this fall, but it is quite safe to
predict that. after the fall election, it's
enthusiasm will fade away. 1t seems
to be a question of local spoiis, as was
the case two years ago when the So
called Prohibition party threatened to
carry everything before it, and has not
been heard of since.
This town has resolved to give q
grand Fourth of July celebration.

EXAMPLE FOR POLITICIANS.
How The Ladies Bridged the
Chasm and Kept the Field.

Special to the GLOBE.
FARGO, June 15.-The GLOBE stated
a few days ago that there was split in
the w. c. L. U. of this city, but then
thought it might be healed through the
efforts of Mrs. Barker, president of this
great temperance organization, whose
husband was here. having been called
to officiate in the Baptist church and
was obliged to precede his talented wife
to take charge of this pastorate. 1t has
since been learned, however, that the
coming of Mrs. Barker did not create
even ripple upon the waters. Muchee
talkee, but too thin to cope with greater
plished. The fact is, there is some
thing in this glorious climate of Dakota
that causes the female mind to
absorb within itSelf-''itSelf' particu-
larly-and all the potent influences of
manly Christian advice can not move
them from the settled purpose of their
own sweet wills.
1t so happened that a county conven-
tion of the temperance element was held
at Casselton this week, and the w. c. T.
u. must be represented by its best
brains, so both factions held caucuSes
and elected a set of delegates. Not
wishing to appear at CaSseltOn as con-
testing delegates, they resolved them
selves under different names, making
two distinct societies. One they called
"Woodford," after Col. Woodford, to
whom-they are married ladies-they
had become attached during his labors
in this city. The other Is called Gen
trial." very appropriate name, for they
propose to be the center of this great
temnerance constellation nOtWithStand-
ing the feminine kicks among the good
Christian ladies who constitute the
"Woodford." The ladies of both fac
tions are endowed with excellent ability
to talk, and the prevailing opinion now
is that hot shot will be literally ex-
changed between these two organiza-
tions-always in spirit of prayer and
Christian forbearance, of course, but

STRUCK WITH POKER CRAZE
Which Gets Away With the Presi-
dent of a Bank-How Widow
Miller Was Imposed Upon.

Special to the Globe.
KIMBALL. Dak., June ia term of
the district court for this judicial dis
trict, which was to have been opened
one week ago, opens at Chamberlain
Tuesday with quite full docket. One
of the cases to come up will bear a
slight mention here.
III. E. Gates, who was, until three days
ago, president Of the Farmers and
Traders bank in this town, happened
about a year ago to be in Sioux Falls at
a meeting of insurance men or of bank
ers, and during his stay, it is alleged,
was struck with
THE POKER CRAZE.
He played with his usual ShreWdnesS
at first, but before long he began to look
for bigger game. About this time tel
egram was received here by the bank
with which he was connected. asking if
a check for $500, signed by II. E. Gates
or words to that effect-wOuld be
good. An affirmative answer was
given and nothing more thought of the
matter. A few days later a check OF
about that figure was sent for col
lection, but through the opposition
bank here, and when it was presented
to the Farmers and Traders they re-
fused to touch it. 1t then became pain
fully evident that Mr.. Gates account
was considerably Overdrawn or that his
credit was not as good as represented or
that he repudiated the paper claim.
Of course suit was at once brought by
this Sioux Falls bank and the case was
to have been called at the last term of
court, but was postponed. Saturday
whereby Mr.. Gates was left out
of the roster of officers, and
he has entirely withdrawn from
the institution, leaving the cashier-L.
A. Foote-in apparent great happiness
of mind. Whether this move will at all
affect the suit or not, the writer could
not say, but the defendant saw fit to at
once go east as far as Cleveland, ..
Some three months since man by
the name of w. A. Thompson, of middle
age and respectable mien, appeared
in town and represented himself to be
quite wealthy. Glancing over the stock
he fixed his longing eyes upon the
comely and wel[developed figure of
Widow Miller-a woman who is
devotee of that art which keeps clean
through all arts-in short laundry
woman. They collared to each other
she sighed on his bosom, he sighed on
her yOke-in short, it was love at first
sight. He popped, but she, before
acquiescing, asked advice as to the
step, because having twice before been
fooled by base men she wanted to go
slow. They were married. For ten
days he lived off her and her earnings;
lit out for Sioux City and the civilized
East, leaving, the Lord knows how
many, poor, disconsolate widows to
mourn.
