After New quarters.

The Masonic society of this city has
for some time contemplated securing
new quarters, and, as the organization is
in most fou,ishing condition, some
thing in accord with the growth and
popularity of the same was desired.
Several plans have been discussed,
and much time gwen to the considera-
tion of the enterprise. One plan pro-
posed was to build building, tie upper
floors of which might be exclusively
devoted to Masonic purposes, and the
lower floors rented. But as there was
some doubt as to the immediate financial
returns from such an investment, another
plan proposed, is said to have been
received with general favor. This
is the leasing of the entire third
floor OF the Winslow &. Bickford'
building on Nam street, and fitting 1t up
in style that will be satisfactory to the
society. The building is one of the
finest and best constructed in the state.
The third story is yet unfinished on the
interior. The Masons propose to COM
plete the building and will expend in
that work several thousand dollars, the
return for which beng lease for five
years free with privilege of renewal
There are about $4,000 subscribed to
the building fund. so it will be seen that
the Masons have ample means whereby
to get hall second to none in the state.
It is probable that the above arrange
meat will be made and work begun at
once.
At meeting Of the building associa-
ton of the society held Wednesday, the
following gentleman we're elected direc-
tors: c. E. Blackwell, J. J. Eddy, T. F..
Branch. Frank Ingalls,, r. B. Fancher,
E. P. Wells and r. E. Wallace.

CITY COUNCIL.

Proceedings Had at Monday Nights
Meeting.-..TheE Electric Light Mat
ter Given Another Twist.
A colo, ,cheerleee room greeted the mem
bers of the city administration when they
filed into the council chamber to hold
their meeting Monday night. "A wise
son maketh glad father" but careless
janitor maketh mad alderman-and in
this instance there we're not only several
angry councilmen, but rip-snorting
city attorney, cold bloodeG clerk, and a
small representation of the common
herd, whose principal duty seemed to lie
in the direction of kicking because of the
failure to provide comfortable quarters.
While waiting for fire to be started, one
impatient member of the crowd suggested
that three incandescent lights was rather
extravagant and inquired what was the
elected no response, but caused an audi
BILE smile. Everything comes to those
who wait, however, and in the course of
half an hour tire was started, and roll
call was ordered. Acting Mayor Steel
presided, and Aldermen Altschul, Eager,
Fletcher and Hotchkiss were found pres
ent. Having approved the inutes of
the January meeting, the regular order
of business was taken up.
A communication from the ex-city
treasurer was received and read, propos.
ing method of paying said officials
indebtedness to the board of education.
The proposition was accompanied by the
certificate of City Treasurer Webster,
showing the principal amount paid, and
detailing the several items of interest
which it Is desired that the board assume,
in return for an assignment of his right
and title in certain tax sale certificates.
Mr. Eager offered resolution in relation
to the matter, which was adopted, and
the board of education will be called
upon to ratify the terms of the PROPOSE
tion at their next meeting.
Ordinance No. 102, relating to privil-
eyes of the Western Union Telegraph
company, was laid over by consent.
The electric light controversy was ad-
vanced peg by the adoption Of a resn.
luton limiting the Electric Light COM
pany to ten days from date in which to
resume service in accordance with con-
tract with the city. Mr.. Eager offered
the resolution and it was adopted unani-
mously. Mr.. Klaus recent proposition,
embracing three different methods of set
tling the difficulty, all OF which we're
printed IN The Alert of January Is
was filed by Mr.. Steel, but owing
to the unavoidable absence of Mr..

OBJECTED To TIGHTS.
How Party OF Grafton Ladies At
tempted to Break up Spectacular
Performances

nO" farty OI UrO1tOn A6UlcS AL
tempted to Break up Spectacular
Performance.
The W. G. T. U. at Grafton tried to
persuade the manager of the opera house
not to allow the Mable Snow Adam and
Eve company to exhibit IN that place.
The manager showed the representatives
of the w. G. T. q. a contract and offered
to cancel the date if the ladies would pay
5000. This they would not do. 1t is
said that hardly had those suggestive
and costly lithos been posted before the
society was "swarming." They marched
to the residence of the pastor of the NJ.
E. church and drafted him into service.
Then they proceeded down town in a
body, two by two, determined to take
down the pictures and stop the show
from coming. They went to the
mayors Office and found his honor
at home. Immediately upon en-
tering the Office ope of the
ladies caught sight of an unusually
pretty vixen with the minimum amount
of drapery, smiling at her from the wall,
and she started to tear it down. Now,
says correspondent Of the Grand Forks
News, the mayor is one of the boys who
knows good thing when he sees it. He
also knows pretty picture when he sees
it. And he rose from his chair and hand
ing It to the lady who was tearing down
the picture, he respectfully said: "Mad-
am, have seat. would not 20 into
your house and commence tearing down
the pictures from the walls. / shall have
to ask you to show me the same consid-
eratlon."
That was a hot one. The mayor
further assured the ladies be could do
nothing, as the supreme court of the
state of New York had handed down
a recent decision to the effect that a
female in tights was not an obscene pic
ture, and therefore, as property of the
theater company on their own boards
could not be molested. He told them
the only way to stop the show was to 60
to the opera house people and get them to
refuse to allow the Mabel Snow company
the use of the house. This they did as
above related. The ladies' went home,
sadder and wiser; the only visible result
of their we'll meant crusade, being to set
the town agog. give the ubiquitous
Mabel Snow splendid advertisement in
her business and to assure her crowded
and enthusiastic house.

ELECTRICITY on Railroads.

A good many in jamestown will
remember hustling young civil enei-
neer, E. H. McHenry, formerly of Mime
waukan, who was connected with the
construction Of the James River Valley
and jamestown & Northern lines. He
went to Montana some years since IN the
service of the Northern Pacific, did the
difficult engineering for the branch
between Livingstone and Butte, has had
charge of extensive tunnel work. and is
rapidly climbing to the top OF bis pro-
fession. Mr.. McHenry has been expert
mentinR with electricity in private way,
for some time, ard during Mr.. Wizards
recent trip to the coast the attention Of
that railway magnate was attracted to
Mr.. McHenry's work in electrical matters.
As result of Mr.. Wizards inquiries
Mr.. Mcaenry has been called to New
York, and for month past, has been in
consultation with Edison, who is the
expert for the Willard syndicate that is
organized to perfect electric motive
power for railways. In connection with
this great coming revolution in motive
power. dispatch from Pittsburg. Pa,
to Chicago paper says: A commission
of nine railroad experts has been investl
eating here the subject of electric trans.
portation as applied to railroads. The
commission represented the North.
ern Pecific, Wisconsin Central and other
roads. The members visited the Edison
works, the Thomsc n-Houston works at
Lynn, Mass. and then spent two days at
the Westinghouse works here The
result OF their labors, which haye been
concluded, and the intentions of the
railroads they represent were partially
revealed by Chief Engineer McHenry Of
the Northern Pacific company. whose
headquarters are in Tacoma. He said:
II believe that the motive power will be
applied directly to the axles of each car,
thus making each car it's own motor
Experiments are to be proceeded with at
once; they will take place at the various
works and much of the cost will be borne
by the railroads. don't see why
electricity should not displace locomo-
tives, and especially over steep grades.
The question which will be most di''cuIt
OF disposition will be the transmission Of
the current and the obtaining OF adequate
connectlvitv in the wires"

before being put in the machine to take
out the bulk of the snow, and the wind
of the separator cleans out nearly all the
rest, 90 that there ls not enough left to
injure the grain. The sheaves previously
thrown out from the south side, after
being shakened and banged about by the
men, are threshed separately and the
grain kept by itself.

Alliance Cooper alive Aid.


Editor Daily Alert: Perhaps there is
no part Of the plan of the farmers alli-
ance, for strong, united organization.
which vii tend to bring the membership
more strongly together, for fraternal and
political purposes, than the ''alliance aid
degree" just ompleted and adopted by
the executive board Of the national alli-
ance, for cooperative life insurance.
Already agents are in the field solicit
ing insurance among the members of the
fraternity, and with good prospects of
success. Two years ago when the
national alliance at ST. Louis adopted
the present secret work OF the alliance
and made the organization brother
hood, this plan Of co.operatlon was con-
sidered, but not until very recently has
it been perfected.
The objects of this side degree, may be
said to be:
1st, To provide on the assessment plan
fund out OF which may be paid sum
not to exceed $1,000 to the families of
deceased members. Admitting to this
degree only those under IS years of age.
End, To establish permanent relief
committees to look after and care for the
sick and unfortunate of the order.
3rd, 10 inaugHrate bureau of infor-
nation and exchange. where members
can apply for employment and employ
ers can apply for help. And whore re.
liable Information regarding different
parts of the country can be obtained.
The national headquarters OF this de-
gree will be at Washington, u. c., and
the business partly carried on through
the officers OF the state alliances.
The officers TO conduct and operate
this degree have been selected by the
officers OF the national alliance and will
bs under their immediate supervision
and control.
Alonzo Wardell of Huron, South Da.
kota, has been selected "national guar
dian" or general manager OF this insur.
ance department., and has already enter
ed upon the duties of his Office.
1t is the intention of the general man
ager tc put organizers in every county of
every state to solicit business among the
membership, after first having instituted
the degree.
Any number Of members OF the alli-
ance, not less than seven, can join in
organizing for this degree.
II the plan OF county organizers is car
ried out. it will not only build up the
degree of cooperative insurance, but it
will result in greatly increasing the alli-
ance in numbers and in strength. S.

How the Leaders Feel.

A conference of leading republicans
was held in New York in reference to the
party interests in Iowa and the Dakotas.
The leaders will use their influence to
have prohibition dropped from the party
platform in Iowa and North Dakota. 1t
was deemed untimely to attempt it in
South Dakota this year.

It is said that Pembina county farmer

colo weather, with horse power machine
Of his own. He gets the most of his help
from neighboring farmers whom he pays
by threshing for them. He finds his
cost for threshing outside Of his own
teams and work to be ~ cents per
bushel. He runs through about 400 or
500 bushels per day. He states that the
drifts are considerable Of q disadvantage
as it takes 80 much shoveling. He is
getting No. for his wheat at the eleva-
tor and this is how he does it, according
to the Pembina Pioneer: The sheaves
on the south side OF the stack have their
butts filled with ice. These are thrown
to one side az the stack comes down.
The sheaves on the north side contain

the subject was not given consideration.
Not even an opinion was expressed, nor
word uttered by which to gauge the
probable outcome OF the negotiations.
The subject was made the special order
for an adjourned meeting to be held FIJI
day, February 18th. At that time it is
expected definite action will be taken by
the council.
The proprietary rights Of persons hav-
ing water pipes connected with the regu-
lar city mains, was discussed, and Attor-
neJ Baldwin gave an opinion to the
effect that the title to such pipes was
not vested IN the city, and repairs made
should therefore be charged to private
property. This view was combatted by
Alderman Eager, and the matter was
laid over till future meeting, when tho
ordinance under which said pipes were
constructed will be reviewed and possi-
bly, revised.
Under suspension OF the rules. the fol.
lowing bills were allowed, and warrants
