MASSAGE.
WILL NOT ORGANIZE FEB.
Local MIX combine Delayed on Ac-

|
 Local Milk Combine Delayed on Ac-
 count of Hesitancy of Dealers. l Judging from present indications the | company which is being formed by the milkmen's association of this city to control the milk supply and to freeze out an invading syndicate will not be organized by February 1 as stated at | the last meeting. At yesterdays meet | ing in the Insurance building, although large number of mikmen were pres- ent, only a few followed the steps of of those who signed the agreement. turning over their milk routes to the company at the last meeting. Those who signed the agreement at yester- days meeting represented onlt about one thousand quarts making the total number of quarts turned in about 13 ,oD0. This is hardly enough to start the busi- ness according to some of the mflkmen and right here is where the hitch in the proceedings comes in.
 Some of the dealers assert that 5000 quarts is enough to start with. while others representing the majority are of the opinion that 90 per cent. of the milk supply of the City should be con- trolled by the company before starting. AS it seems the opinions of the capital ists purported to be in back of She thing also are that more routes than are now in their hands should be controlled by those at the head of the affair before forming the company.
 Yesterdays meeting saw the matter discussed more fully by the dealers than at any time during the proceedings of the last few weeks. Many when ask ed if they wished to sign the agreement replied that they would take more time for consideration of the matter. and that they wished to see matters in more advanced stae before doing any thing definite. Some dealers were also present at the meeting who were some what ignorant of the proceedings thus far and their questions and the points which they raised did much to confuse the meeting.
 Finally it was decided to empower the committee of nine, consisting of N. M Andrew of Orange, E. ". Pratt. E. E. Thatcher and Horace Johnson of Fair Haven, W. Fl. Hosley of East Haven, F.. F. Smith of New Haven l.. G. fleming way of Westvile J. A. Houston of Fair Haven, Horace Johnson of Hamden, and F. E. Buell., counsel for the asso- citation, to confer with the capitalists on the matter. They will do this imme- diately and are to call a meeting again just as soon as this conference has been concluded
 It was also reported at the meeting that the New York syndicate is still at work and has secured more options on some very important routes.

THE ELKS' ENTERTaINMEN ENI.

MT. Connor's First Appearance Since
 His Injury In Brooklyn, Some Three
 Weeks Ago.
 Those who have seats for the Elk s entertainment this evening at the Fly perlon are fortunate. The simple fact that MT. Perterson is on the committee is a guarantee of an excellent pro- gramme Frank Connor also takes the part of Bob Watson in Charles Wylie's farce "One Evening After Dinner" He makes his first appearance in public since his injury. While playing Chris tian in Cyrano de Bergerac some three weeks ago ill Brooklyn, during the scene between Roxane, Cyrano and Chr stian Christian having mounted a trestle and Cyrano was speaking the lines "Aie Strange pain that wings my
 heart"
 '"rhe kiss, loves feast, so near" the balcony gave way, throwing Roxane and Christian to the stage, both sus- taining severe injuries Connors left arm is still in bad shape, but he can use it sufficiently to take small part. He will be most ably supported by Miss Isabell Feuchtwanger and her sister, Miss Marion.
 In the first part of the entertainment some really artistic singing will be heard. II Guess I'll Have to Telephone the Baby" sung by MT. Ahern, will be sure to please. MT. Atwater, jr., has just right to feel proud. Good seats can yet be obtained for to-night's per- formance.

The Yale Field corporation has begun the work of moving one of the large football grand stands from the football field to the site formerly occupied by the old baseball pavilion, which was de- stroyed by fire last year. Parts of the football stands will also be put in posi- tion along the first and third base lines, as last season.

A Political Appointment IL Expected
in Consequence.
The kick on Maj. Flint Of jamestown
holding a position in the state militia
after his remaining at home when the
other men and officers in the regiment
went to the Philippines, has borne
fruit, and the major announces that he
has sent In his resignation to the gov
ernor. This will enable Maj. Frame to
occupy the same position with refer
ence to the national guard as he did
in the Philippines-the. second ranking
major. The state militia now has elev-
en- companies, and it is supposed that
the Grand Forks company will finally
be organized. When this Is done it
will give the state a full regiment, and
q third major will be appointed. It is
stated that instead of giving the ap-
pointment to the ranking actual cap
tain, who saw service in the recent.
war, the governor will appoint his pri-
vate secretary, Tommy Poole, to the
position. This will be another thing
that viii make the, rank ana file Of the
volunteers, who pulled bull carts and
chased Filipino1 in Luzon, feel good.
and admire the political feature of the

An Experiment That Proves Pr0nta-
able to Farmers.
Threshing in the vicinity of Lang
don is finished. The work was COM
pleted some weeks earlier than in pre-
vious years, owing to the excellent fall
weather, and to the larger humber of
machines at work in this vicinity. Corn
husking is also finished, very little
other work remaining yet to be done.
Farmers are exceedingly happy, as
this has proved a bonanza crop year
for them. Crops Of all kinds have
yielded better than in many years
past, and good prices are being real
lied for all farm products. The corn
crop was an unusually heavy one, and
has all been secured in excellent condi-
ton.
Last season a few farmers expert
merted in threshing a part Of their
r and as the result was satisfac-
tory, q large number have this year
threshed from so to .125 r each,
the result meeting with general ap-
prevail, and it is thought the project
will eventually take the place of the
long tedious task of husking by hand,
as fully 800 bushels Of shelled corn
can easily be cribbed in a day, AMI
the fodder is left in much better shape
at much less labor and expense. Con-
siderable fax was sown with wheat
here this year, it being IN excellent
crop, the farmers realizing .$1.16 per
bushel for it. 1t is thought flax will
be sown more extensively another

Court Accepted His Figures. How
ever, and Imposed Full Time.
There is one very sore p%ickpocket in
Fargo. He is Bert Brown, who claims
to be a Chicago boy. Last fall he was
following street fairs through the
Northwest and separating the people
frlm their purses. At the Casselton
street fair early in October he was
caught in the act, sent to Fargo, Il
Mt the present term of court he plead
guilty . In order to avoid a peniten-
t:ary sentence and to make the punish
ment as light as possible, he told the
court a long tale of woe about his ex-
IRENE youth. claiming to be only six
teen. In sentencing him to the reform
school, Judge Pollock made the term
to cover the period till Brown is twen-
ty-one, or five years, according to the
defendants own claim. Brown now
wishes he had not lied SO much about
his age. The officials think he is at
least eighteen.
Many improvements are being made
in the telephone service at Fargo. The
company has purchased a conveniently
located corner and has everything In
readiness for the new building as soon
us the work can be begun next spring.
The O &c will then be equipped with
a similar system to that now used in
st. Paul by which the bells will be
abandoned and the attention of the
central office be secured by q flash
light on lifting the transmitter. Man.
ager Edwards, who was recently pro-
noted to this Office from st. Cloud, is
proving q popular official.

City Of Mexico, Nov. 25.-One Of the
most notable political demonstrations
in the history of Mexico occurred here
yesterday afternoon when the foreign
residents of this and adjoining coun-
tries marched in a procession to the
national palace to urge President Diaz
to accept the nomination for reelection
by the Liberal party, whose convention
will assemble early in the coming
year. Several thousand Frenchmen,
Germans, Americans, Englishmen,
Belgians, .Austrians and Italians took
part. The American colony represent
ed every mercantile, banking and 9TH
err interest. The demonstration was
viewed by an enormous crowd Of Mex
leans, who rendered the foreigners q
most cordial treatment.
Gen. Diaz replied to his callers in a
brief but eloquent speech in which he
deprecated the idea that q man of his
age should be selected to carry on the
executive department of the govern
ment for another four years. He re-
ferred to the high character of the
participants in this demonstration,
and minated that he should listen
to the manifestation of the peoples
will shown later on. He was frequent

dent was much touched by the demon

Clay County. MIMI, officials Look
for Him-Vengeance Deferred.
Clay county, Mimi. officials are look
ing for the husband Of q Minnesota
schoolmarm, who is supposed to be
hiding in Fargo. The young lady was
engaged to teach school in Clay county
and q day or two before the school
began she vas married to a Fargo boy.
She secured board at John Onan's, a
well known farmer, and was regularly
visited by the young husband, who
finally became jealous of Onan's son,
and had the girl secure another board
ing place. Some one wrote to him that
young Oman was a frequent visitor at
the new place, and the husband hired
O rig to go out to the farm with the
intention Of cleaning out the Oman
household. When he knocked at the
door the old gentleman came forward
and the enraged husband struck him
with a long stick. Mr.. Oman escaped
into the room, where he kept the shot
gun, and the jealous husband broke all
sprinting records getting away from
the house. He is said to have told the
liveryman that he intended knocking
the old man senseless and then pro-
ceeding to the sons bedroom to take
summary vengeance.

found hidden beneath a straw stack:
On going into the house the bodies OF
the mother and other child were found

British Troops Have n Lively En-.
gagement and Inflict Heavy Loss
Cairo, Nov. 25.-Gen. Wingate, with
an Egyptian force, moved from Faki-
kohl yesterday to attack the force of
Ahmed Fedil. reported to be at Melissa
(Drefissa), twenty-three miles from the
River Nile, on the road to Geniel
(Gimeh). The sirdar. Gen. Kitchener,
has telegraphed to Lord Cromer, the
British minister, as follows:
"Wingate found Melissa evacuated,
pushed on to Abriaadil, four miles
further and found Fedil's forces en-
camped. They were forthwith en-
gagged by the mounted troops under
Mahon. with four Maxims and two
guns and the jehadieh under Corringe.
The dervishes charged with all their
old dash to within eighty yards of the
guns. Wingate, with the infantry, ar
rived in time to support Mahon, and
cleared the whole camp. The der
wishes bolted through the bush, pur-
sued by the mounted troops. Win.
gate estimates Fedils force at $500
men, Of whom 400 were killed."

Admiral Dewey Almost Buried in
Letters Expressing Confidence.
Washington, Nov. Pa delegation
from Wheeling, w. Va, called on Ad-
miral Dewey and extended an invita-
ton to him to visit that city on Feb.

was presented with a superb Sevres
jardiniere. Lieut.. Crawford gave out
the following statement on behalf of
the admiral: =.
admiral Dewey has received many
hundreds of letters and kilograms
from persons in all walks Of life, and
in every section of the country from
Maine to Texas, assuring him that he
is not without defenders, and express
ing their sincere sympathy with him in
connection with the recent attacks.
These letters and kilograms are4
too numerous to receive personal tac-
acknowledgement, but the admiral is
deeply grateful to their senders, and
desires to assure them Of his hearty
appreciation Of their kind considera-
tion for him."

officers have been supplied with tue
necessary muster rolls, blanks anu

by the first Of the year to nave Tue
militia reorganization practically ac-
complished.
There is said to be some dissatisfac-
ton over the manner of the reorganl-
cation agreed upon, but this must be
settled wherever it exists. Had the
reorganization been on different INES
there would also have been dlssatls-
faction, as all Of the officers nave
friends, and it is not possible to please
all. Still, the officials believe that the
plan agreed upon is the best that coulu
have been adopted under the clrcum-
stances, and that there will not pc
much friction. Some Of the oficefs
who served in the Philippines will have
to drop back, but under the reorganl-
zation some additional places will be
created so that nearly if not all OF the
commissioned officers will be cared for
Under the reorganization the militia
will conform to the regulations for the
organization Of a regiment as provided
in the new army reorganization. Inc
regiment will consist Of three battal-
ions, as there will probably be twelve
companies to provide for. This VIII
create an additional major, and this
will go to Maj. Frame, who served as
major in the Philippines, although
prior to the war he was captain in
command of Company G and has re-
ported to the adjutant general as such.
Maj. Flint Of jamestown resigned at
the outbreak of the war, as he was in
capacitated by ill health. He may re-
sumo his old position if he desires, but
it is possible he will not do so. If he
should not it will create another va
cancy and some one of the other Off
GERS will be promoted. The additional
battalion will require extra officers as
adiutant and quartermaster, so that
when the reorganization is accom-
plished it will be found that no great
injustice will be done any officer.

IN NORTH DAKOTA
OSWALD AGAINST MoRAN.
Noted North Dakota Liquor Case .Ap-

Noted North Dakota Liquor Case Ap-
pealed . Third Time.
The famous case of Oswald & Co. Of
Minneapolis, VS.. p. Moran Of James
town, will be appealed to the supreme
court for the third tine. The q 8 was
recently taken to the supreme court on
application of the defendant to have a
statement corrected to show facts. 1t
seems that Judge Glaspell refused to
certify that q motion was made to
strike the case from the calendar on
the first day Of the July term of court.
Affidavits were presented by a number
Of attorneys present. The supreme
court decided that the defendant was
correct in his contention.
The suit arises over a mortgage CIV
en- by Moran to Oswald & Co. for
liquors. The amount due on the mort
gage at the present time is about
$4,000. Moran resists payment Of the
debt OH the ground that a debt for
liquors cannot be legally collected in
North Dakota, while the plaintiffs con-
tend that, he bought the goods from
them prior to the passage Of the law.
The case has been in litigation for
about two years. In the last trial Os-
valid & Co. received q favorable de-
cision.
A big dam has been built across the
Pipestone neal Sykcston OH the James
town & Northern Pacific branch Of the
Northern Pacific, and now only awaits
the spring rains and melting snow to
create a body Of water that will cover
14O acres in extent. The dam is a sub
stantial structure, twenty-five feet in
height, and cost about 5000. the eX-
pense of which was sustained by the
Northern Pacific and Richard Sykes.
Mr.. Sykes has given the land near the
lake for a park, which the citizens of
.Sykestown will improve by the plant
ing of trees, etc. The object of the
railroad company in erecting the dam
was to secure good water for engines,
which is hard to obtain i'll that section.

The most memorable hour in the
first days on shore OF Admiral Dewey,
when mans highest relations are
taken into account, was not that in.
which the right hand of welcome was
given him by the president in behalf
Of the American people. It was a
quiet hour in a Washington church,
when. at the admiral's request, the
minister thanked Almighty God for the
commanders safe return from sea. The
recognition of divine guidance and pro-
lection wasa an exampleo of loyalty to the
Ruler whose serviceisperfect freedom
and whose rewards are imperishable.

Don't let us be too much alarmed
by the statistics of the organization
of corporations and trusts" under the
laws of Maine. New Jersey, Delaware
and other states which are competing
with each other for the fees that pay
the expenses of state governments. In
many cases-in four out of five cases
at least-the rscord might read some
thing like this: 1.-THE Air Monopoly
company; capital n hundred million
dollars; nothing paid in; never heard
of again after the organization papers
were fled" But all the same that
hundred millions would swell the stat
istics of trusts, and many people would
become really alarmed lest the atmos-
phere should be made the subject of a
trust.
