"A Popular College.

Prof. Baskerville, principal Of James
town college, reports the ARRIVAL of q
dozen new students within the past
month, four of whom came to the school
last week. Some difficulty was experl,
enced at the opening of the term in &c.
curing rooms for young men who attend
the college, bat all recent arrivals have
been accommodated, many OF the young
ladies also taking rooms in private
houses. The present term will end on
the Goth. when the holiday vacation will
ensue. The new term begins Tuesday,
January 3rd, and promises to be one OF
the most satisfactory in the history of
the institution.
Mr.. Baskerville reports a constantly
increasing interest in the college, and ls
we'll pleased with it's prospects, but says
the low price of wheat has affected a
number Of expected scholarships as it
has everything else. One farmer in La
Moure county who had anticipated send

unable to do go at present, owing to the
small returns from his farm the past
season.

French MasOns I'm Politics.

The Freemasons have resolved to take
a more emery etic r!rt in politics. At
the last assembly in the nall of the grand
orient Of France the conduct Of certain
members was discussed who had shown
a disposition, to act with the Clericals.
Masonic deputies were censured for vot-
ing endOwiuentS to church institutions
There We're several protests. some con-
tending that it was too soon TO insist
upon the separation Of church and state.
rs that would make the Radical party
unpopular. These protests were hooted
down, and several Masons thereupon re.
tired from the order. Carried on by this
same spirit the Masons passed resolu-
ton to vote for all reforms necessary
for the final evolution of the republic" "
for the separation of church and state,
for the suppression Of the public worship
system and Of the embassy tc the Vati-
can, and that each Mason should have a
civil funeral.
There was Il general insistan"e upon
the complete secularization of every
public institution, the removal of reH-
gious emblems from every court house
and street corner. and the suppression Of
chaplaincies in barracks. ships. prisons
and hospitals. Paris Letter.

That Ice Rink .

Mr.. Chenery's proposition to make a
good skating rink IN Jamestown, provided
enough season tickets be sold to pay for
the lumber, ETC., ought to meet With "a
vorable consideration. 1t is not feasable
to build the rink on Fifth avenue or any
side street and use the artesian water.
The use of this water has proved that it
Is of no value for ice. 1t takes intensely
cold weather to freeze it, the ice is not
easy to skate upon, and honey combs as
soon as the sun shines on it with the
slightest warmth. In addition, the chip
ping of the ice and melting afterwards,
spots clothes, leaving a white spot on dark
cloth, the same as on floors after scrub.
bing with artes,an water. Mr.. Chenery
has secured permission to use portion
of the river aud says that 80 season tickets
az So each will be sufficient guarantee
to warrant him in putting up the neces.
sary fence and building waiting rooms.
The surface can be flooded by double
force pump, and natural skating sur
face, of good size obtained within three
blocks of the main portion of the town.
1t IS likely that subscription for tickets
will be started soon. The ice can be
kept clear of snow by the fence. Mayor
Fuller has consented to the use of the
river, and it seems that if enough inter
est is taken in this matter an excellent
ice rink can be had here with little ex-
peDee.

1 N0N-PARTlSAN AFFAIR.
All Parties to Take Part in the
Reception to Cov.-Elect
ShOrtridge.
Gov. Shortridge Visits the City
and Meets His Many
Friends.
Rev. S. E. Ryan Replies to
the Letter of Bishop
Stanley.

There was not q large attendance at
the meeting Of citizens Monday at the
Gladstone parlors to complete arrange
ments for the reception to Governor elect
Shortridge; several prominent business
men being unavoldably absent. Repre-
sentatives Of all parties we're present,
however, and the meeting organized 5y
the election of Capt. s. X. McGinnis as
chairman, and A. H. Ellsworth, secretary.
1t was at once decided to make
the proposed reception strictly
non partisan and invite all jamestown
people to participate. Captain
Nc Ginnis, as chairman OF the committee
appointed by the democratic club,
detailed what had been done; that they
had taken merely the initlatory steps
toward public demonstration. and
desired the cooperation of the republi-
cans to make the affair creditable to the
city. 1t was stated that the Gladstone
hotel would prepare the banquet, with
plates for 100 persons, at $3.50 each. This
sum would pay all expenses, including
the fireworks, and engagement Of the
band and orchestra. After some dis
cussion, it was ordered that new com
mlttee be appointed to supersede the
democratic committee and take general
charge Of arrangements. On motion of
I. c. Wade, Messrs. VIM. Lloyd and
E. P. Wells were selected as the repub-
llcan members of the committee. On
potion of A. Parkinson, Messrs. J. Il.
Eager and .. St. G. Chenery were
selected from the independent party,
and Messrs. G. A. Klaus and A. Blewett
we're selected by the democrats. The
meeting then adjourned.
The following committees were ap
pointed today:
Reception--K. E. Wallace and wife. S.
K. McGinnis and wife, Geo. Lutz and
wife, j. w. Goodrich and wife, /. Z. Wade
and wife, Mrs. G. A. Klaus, A. H. Parkln-
son and Mayor Fuller.
Flnance--G. Lieber, II. E. Hughes, J.
F. Vennum, G. A. Klaus and A. Blewett.
1t was decided today to invite the
ladies to attend the banquet.

Gov. Shortridge in the City.

Governor elect Sbortridge spent Mon
day in jamestown, leaving on the 4:30
train for Valley City, where he will at
tend the reception to be given
in honor of the new state officers.
When an Alert representative called, the
governor r-elect was found in his room at
the hotel enjoying social chat with a
number of friends. He seemed In the
best of spirits and health and Said he
enjoyed his recent trip to Missouri very
much. 1t was his first visit to his old home
IN nearly ten years, and friends in the
city Of Macon gave himself and wife a
reception which was most gratifying.
Mrs. Shortridge will remain with rela.
tives there for the present, and possibly
until spring, though that will depend
upon the governors success IN securing
suitable residence at Bismarck. Mr..
Shortridge says he has not yet visited
the capital since election, and in fact it
has been eleven years since he was there.
He says it is his intention to reside at
the capital, however, during his term Of
Office, and he believes all the new officials
will do the same, being thus enabled to
better perform their duties
Mr. Shortridge said he was naturally
gratitied with the success of his political
canvass, and expressed himself as pleased
with the friendly spirit which was ex-
hibited during It's progress by a majority
of bis opponents. He still condemns
the unjust methods employed by the
republican state committee in issuing
the circular attacking his loyalty during
the war Mr.. Shortridge SAID some of
his warmest friends we're found among
the war veterans and members of the
G.. \. r., and these men we're not mis-
lead by the false statements published
on the eve of election.
Mr.. Shortridge IS busy outlining his
inaugural message, and his time will be
pretty thoroughly occupied for the next
few weeks in preparing to enter upon his
duties as governor. He was unable for
this reason to say anything for publica-
tion in regard to his policy, except that
it would be one of economy and calcu-
lated to advance the interests of all the
people as far as possible.

Worlds Far Notes.

Manager Dickey returned Monday
from Chicago. where he met Governor.
elect Shortridge by appointment, and
together they looked over the Worlds
fair buildings and grounds. The North
Dakota building was particularly in
spected, and plans for an effective state
display were discussed. Mr.. Dickey
says everything in connection with the
exposition 1s booming, including the
part assigned to this state. Notwith.
standing the immense size uf the Worlds
fair buildings, he says there is already
complaint of lack of space for exhibits
The American manufacturers alone ask
for million more square feet, but no
provision has as vet been made for
this extra accommodation. "One can
not beglh to imagine tho scope and OK.
tent of this greatest of fairs known to
the Worlds history" said Mr.. Dickey to
an Alert representative. "But Chicago
seems to he equal to every emergency
and will probably have no great diff
Guilty in caring for the millions who will
come to visit the city during the fair.
The transportation problem is the only
one causing any uneasiness, and this
question is being discussed quite
generally. Everybody believes some
method Of handling the great crowds
will be devised, but present railway and
electric facilities are entirely Inadequate ="
Mr.. Dickey says North Dakota will have
characteristic display of grains, grasses
and farm products; very complete
educational exhibit: an exhibit Of trees
and shrubbery grown in the state, and
other interesting features. The Woman's
auxiliaries are doing much to render the
various displays effective and to make
the North Dakota building as attractive
as any on the grounds. The board of
managers will hold their next meeting
IN Jamestown on the 10Th inst, when de
signs and plans will be offered and car
ried into effect.
The pupils Of Mrs. Merry's room in the
jamestown schools are now at work on a
relief map of the state, which will form a
part Of the educational exhibit. It will
be very reliable map, and is said to be
highly creditable to those in charge of
the work. It is proposed to make the
educational and art exhibits from this
state thoroughly representative of the
schools and colleges, and show the ad-
vantages possessed in this respect.
Miss Blanche Booker daughter Of
Treasurer Booker Of Pembina, is but IA
years of age, but will contribute some IN
terestipg work for the Worlds fair OK.

The Ladies Aid society have under.

a meeting at the residence of Mrs.

kind was turned off. There we're
three sacks of children's clothes prepared
for distribution. The ladies' need CON-
Portable clothing, shoes and stockings,
and contributions of this kind will be
gladly received. Mrs. Herman Gieseler
is president of the society. Yesterday
there were fifteen needy children fitted
out with comfortable clothing. In one
family it Is reported there are twelve
children under II years ct age, and that
several families require assistance of this
kind. 1t has been reported that clothes
and donations given for this purpose
have been sent out of Dakota when they
we're required at home. Mrs. True, of
the Presbyterian Aid society, says that a
cash contribution from Mrs. Baskerville.
Prof. Saugree and Miss Esler, teachers
OF jamestown college, was taken and
goods purchased and sent by request
OF the doners to school in the Indian
territory, but no clothes donated by
others have been sent out OF the town.
Arrangements have been made to
give concert, Dec. %, IN behalf of the
work being done by the Ladies Aid
society. The ladies need funds for the
poor of the city, aud it is expected that
a goodly amount can be- raised in this
way. Mrs. Fred Klapp has kindly con-
sented to take charge OF the concert, and
under her directions it is needless to say,
the affair will be a musical treat and an
assured success.
In addition to toe musical features
there will be recitations, by volunteers
for the cause of the poor. The enter.
tainment will probably be given in the
Congregational church.

The Sight OF q Lifetime.

The recent Columbian celebration in
New York city, exceeded in maRni6cence
any similar event given in that great
metropolis for many years. None but
those who know the resources OF the city,
and understand the spirit OF the citizens
can comprehend the tremendous activity
displayed when New York once wakes up
to do something on big scale. The
Columbian celebration was one of those
great public undertakings that seemed
to enthuse the population, and those who
witnessed the event confess that it ex-
ceeded all previous efforts in the public
demonstration line. In letter to The
Alert, Mr.. Frank Tucker thus mentions
the affair.
"-It was the greatest sight I ever saw.
The city was tnagni6cently decorated
and everything had the air Of great fete,
such as you read about in Paris. One of
the greatest sights was the illumination
Of Madison Square-where the Fifth
Avenue hotel is located-wlth thousands
Of great yellow lanterns all hung in the
trees. The crowds we're 80 great that
you walked in the streets, day and night.
It seemed to he the greatest enterprise
to everybody-the greatness Of the cele-
bration. A week before the day it was
scarcely mentioned, except In the news
papers. Two nights before the big
parade the city seemed to wake up like
flash. It became mass of the most
beautiful decorations this country ever
saw. The electrial displays wele won
derful and the sums spent for these and
other decorations were enormous. It was
q great time-one of those sights that a
man remembers all his llfe."
