The annual excursion to Watch HIll and Block Island Monday was enjoyed by a large and heterogeneous crowd of peo- pie. Stafford turns out the largest num- Der of people for these annual excursions of any station on the road. This year was no exception to the rule, and there were TAG tickets sold, an increase of seven over last year. The number would have been larger in all probability but for the threatening aspect of the weather. Not withstanding the clouds, no rain fell and the day proved all that could be desired. The sound was smooth and contented with itself and the sail was enjoyed by all. About three-fourths of the people dlsembarked at Watch Hill, but the fa- vorable sailing conditions Induced many to take the trip to the Island. At both resorts the committee had arranged for shore dinners, and full justice was award cd the steamed clans and various other articles that make up first class shore dinner. The bathing proved one of the most popular attractions at the Hill and many availed themselves of the opportu. nlty. The bathing suits that are rented there are very much alike in everything but size, and there are two styles. The mems style looks bad enough, but the women's style is worse. Those who bathed borrowed no trouble about ap- pearance, however, but paid close atten. ton to enjoying themselves. Electric car rides, the merry -go-round, and strolls up and down the beach, provided diver. sion for all. There was not an accident to mar the pleasure of the outing. Some of the boys were a little noisy on the re. turn trip, and one or two apparently had on what Is sometimes called a "load. r There are so many different ways of en. toying an excursion, that 1t is possible that pretending to be drunk, or being drunk, Is the best way. but there art many who will never know from experi enee. Of the TAG people who attended the excursion the large proportion wer' quiet and orderly, and feel better for [ day ct the shore. The committee is tC congratulated on the success of the annu al excursion.

Dr. GouId.s Great Work.

Though the determination of the places of the fixed stars in the northern hemisphere has engaged the attention of many observatories during the whole of this century and our knowledge of the places of the northern stars would therefore presumably be nearly perfect, it is fact that Dr. Gould's work upon the southern skies practically capitalized our knowledge of the two celestial hem ispheres, says Professor T. J. J. See in The Atlantic. Such an achievement is | B veritable monument to the American | nation and has added new laster to the | American name. Had the American people never contributed anything be- yond the labors of Gould toathe world 6 knowledge of astronomy this magnifi- | cent contribution alone would entitle the nation to an honorable place in the | eyes of posterity.
 And yet how little is the work of Gould known to even the best circle of American readersl So great was his de- votion to the cause of pure science and so oblivious was he of contemporary fame that none but professional men of science are able to appreciate his incom- parable services to the sublimest of the sciences It is certain that he has gain ed place among the greatest astrono- mers of any age or country and that the estimate now placed on his work will only increase with the flight of centuries. If England is justly proud of her Newton and Herschel, France of her Lagrange and Laplace, Germany of
 her Copernicus and Kepler. Italy of her
 Leonardo and Galilei, we'll may America honor her Pierce and Gouldl

A Good Show.

Fargo Forum: There was not a dull
moment at the operahouse Saturday
night. Gorton's Minstrels we're there
and they gave n of the smoothest
performances seen here in a long time.
The excellence of the band in the
street concerts caused many to expect
q good show and no one was disap-
pointed. Old Hank Goodman cap
tured the audience at first with his
clever work as end man and he was
ably backed by Messrs. Elliott, Won
der and Mullen. The vocal solos
were pleasing and the Crescent City
quartette brought down the house with
their selections and limitations. The
second part was replete with good
features, the dancing by Elliott Bros.
and Messrs. Mullen and Wonder, Hank
Goodman's talk and Cooks club
swinging were enjoyable specialists.
Joseph Gorton, jr., deserves especial
mention for his clever musical spe-
clalties. He is a perfect master of the
euphonium and a talented artist.
Mullen and Wonder, as %grotesque and
athletic comedians, closed a decidedly
interesting and enjoyable performance.

BANQUET TO BARBER.

night. The + fair was pre-arranged as

in by the friends who had arranged
the affair as q testimonial Of their
admiration for the sterling qualities
and genial good fellowship Of the retir.-.

prepared an excellent spread, plates
being laid for twenty, and the table
being handsomely decorated with

Hundred Millions.

The total assessed valuation OF
property in the state this year will
reach 800 900 900. This is apparent
from the result of the increases made
by the state board of equalization,
and the natural addition to property
in the state. The figures of the tax
abstract show real property value in
the state of s66 900, 600 personal prop
erty $2l 900 900 and railroad property
$13, 600 900. This is an increase OF
s ,O00,OOO yer the property value OF
last year.
The assessment returns show a total
of about 10000 persons assessed in
the state. Cass county leads in both
real andpersonalproperty with SO ,OOO,-
600 real and a little over 50, 900 900
personal. Grand Forks county has
So, $50, 900 of real property, and Trail
and Walsh each a little over $4,000
900. These four counties have over a
third of the real property value in the
state.
Telegraph and Telephone lines in the
state are valued at SOL 900. Watches
and jewelry are returned at SIS 1899.
There are 276, 100 sheep returned and
800. 900 head of cattle.
The total revenue of 3.8 mills for
general purposes would bring in a
revenue of $3.50, 900 on the valuation
this year.

THE peace protocol was
signed on Friday, Aug. -.
The next day, before the news
Of the suspension of hostilities
could reach Manila, the city
was surrendered to the Ameri-
can commanders after a brief
bombardment by Admiral
Dewey's fleet. American soldi-
ers are now in control Of the
capital Of the Philippines. They
hold the city, too, not as the
result Of peaceful surrender in
accordance with the terms of
the protocol, but by right of
conquest. This, of course,
does away with complications
that might have arisen in con-
nection with the peaceful turn
ing over Of the city to the
Americans by the Spaniards.

Big Vote.

From the number of school polls re-
turned by the several counties in the
state to the state auditor, it is appar-
ent that there will be a large increase
in the vote of the state this year.
These school polls are returned for
each election and the number of them
returned is A 1000. Three large coun-
ties have made no returns of school
polls, Burleigh, Cass and Richland,
which cast a total of about 10, 900
votes. Add these, and total of 81, 1000
votes is given, and as some electors
+ overlooked from the school poll
list it is safe to estimate the vote of
the state at 5000. With a fine cleo
ton day this year it would not be sur
prising to see this number of votes
cast. Last year, in a binding storm,
the vote was Al ,OLO.
