MONUMENT FUND BALL
To Come OFF Nav 4th Under the
Auspices Of Company L.

Company I will give it's mon
ument fund ball May 4th, it
having been postponed from
the middle of the winter. Let
every person buy a ticket
whether they dance or not, and
let all who dance attend this
entertainment, for it is we'll to
show appreciation in a cause
SO sacred as this. Too much
respect and honor cannot be
shown men who risked their
lives for the credit of their
country, and of course all will
be pleased to contribute to the
monument which is to perpetu-
ate the memory of the brave
young men, George Schneider
and Leslie r. Waterman.
George was one of Wahpeton's
best and most deserving young
men, and though his comrade,
Leslie Waterman, was a native
of Kentucky and arrived at
Wahpeton only a few days be-
fore enlisting with Co. I, and
died at Nagasaki, Japan, and
remains buried in national
cemetery, San Francisco, is
none the less deserving, and a
monument at Wahpeton, com.
memorating these two young
men, will for all time be of in
terest to this people, and all
will want to feel that he has at
least a dollar in it.
The dance comes off at Schu-
Ter hall, May 4th.

SMART GAME WARDENs.
Make a Strike for Fees and are
Let Down.

Nels Oslund and Peter john
son had quite an experience at
Battle Lake day or two this
week, having gone down to the
lake to do some spearing at
night. They caught some 900
pounds of pickerel. And had
gotten them to the depot and
were about retiring for a little
rest before the train arrived.
when they were placed under
arrest, charged with. violating
the fishing laws of Minnesota.
The gentlemen telegraphed for
a little money-having of
course taken none with them
and set up fight in the justice
court, and knocked out the
Stupid Jay, Martin Anderson,
who had been instrumental i'm
having the game warden au-
thorize the arrests.
TO begin with the Minnesota
game and fish laws, allow the
catching of pickerel and suck
ers anyway seen fit and at any
time of year in that state.
The pickerel is very destructive
of all other kinds of fish and
the sucker consumes great
quantities of fish. eggs, hence
the law provides for the des-
truction of these species of fish
in this way. But this "beef
head" thought he saw all op-
portunity to gather in 500 in
fees and went after it,swearing
in court that he saw a pike
among the lot of fish, while as
matter of fact there was not
a single fish otherthan pickerel
in the whole lot. And when
they could not lie Oslund and
Johnson out of fees, they tried
to wiring in Illinois state law
on them. But the outfit were
completely Knocked out as they
ought to have been, for the
Wahpeton gentlemen had in
no wise violated law.
The gentlemen have been
talking about prosecuting the
"jay" who caused the trouble
and lied to try to make his
outrage stick, but we are not
sure as to just what they will
do. They ought surely to make
the meat head sweat.
The whole lot of fish we're
lost-spoiled, in fact, while the
Battle Lake "bull head" was
looking for unjust fees, which
he did not get.

Manager Doles says the city
ought to erect band stand at
some convenient point where
people might assemble to hear
concerts at given periods. And
then it would be a proper thing
to provide means for seating

is somewhat tiresome to stand
upon the street during an even

managers suggestion.

when Leslie fell into the hole
containing three or four feet of
water, and would have been
drowned had not his youthful
companion pulled him out.
The boys are, properly seven
years old, and it is thought
rather remarkable of Carl that
he should have hauled L: slie
out, as he very probably did do
instead of becoming frightened
and run away for help-which
would have allowed the boy to
drown.

The Highland people are wondering

Class.

Brooklyn's model tenements were in

Chief Hugh Bonner, r. w. De Forest,
w. ]. O'Brien, Myles Tierney and j. n.
Phelps Stokes. With them went Guy
Du Val, representing A. T. White, whose
riverside tenements in Furman street
were first inspected. These cover an
area Of 300 feet by $50. The buildings
are six stories high and inclose q great
central court laid out with fountains
and grass plots that serve as places Of
recreation and drying groundj for the
tenants. This feature of the central
court, assuring an abundance of light
and air, recommended itself particu-
larly to the commissioners.
Another feature considered admira-
BILE was system of exterior staircases.
The commissioners found no dark
rooms and the arrangement Of roof
Fairgrounds was highly recommended.
Apartments of two, three or four
rooms rent at an average of Is cents a
room. The tenants include Scandina-
VANS, English, Scotch, Irish and Ital-
ians. Absolute cleanliness and order

FORESTRY EXCURSION.
rhe Forestry Club Women VIII Have an
Excursion and See the Indians and
Pine Woods OF Minnesota.

The date of the departure of the
club women's excursion to the nation
al forest park territory in the vicinity
of Walker has been set for Monday
morning, June II. That date will
give the members of the excursion
who will attend the Milwaukee BIZ
ennial time to come up to the Twin
Cities at their leisure and get some
what rested before starting north.
p. III. McGarry, of Walker, is making
the local arrangements for the care
and entertainment of the party, as
sured the women interested that full
and adequate arrangements were be-
ing made to entertain Hospitality and
comfortably 200 excursionists, the linn
it of the party. The program includes
a trip through the big lake to Bear
island and Sugar Point and another
to the government dam, trips to the
old and new Indian agencies, and
trip to Cass Lake by rail. AT Cass
Lake the party will be taken to the
island. on whose bosom is located the
beautiful lakelet called Helen. The
party will arrive in the pine country
in the full of the moon and there will
be unlimited opportunities of boating
by moonlight. On the all-day excur.
sions luncheon will be eaten either
under the pines or on the boats. Fish.
ing, rides in Indian canoes, Indian
games and dances will fill in the un.
occupied moments. Banquets and
formal functions have been tabooed
and the whole time will be given tc
see nature, the pine woods and the
Indians and to enjoy a lazy existence
while breathing the piney ozone
Three or four days will suffice to see
the country in general way, but the
excursionists will be. permitted tc
finger as long as they desire and
many busy people are planning tc
make this trip their vacation of a
week or two. The option of returning
by way of Cass Lake and Duluth
which takes the traveller across the
proposed national park site both north
and south, and east and west, will
give splendid idea of the country to
be reserved and it's beauties and posi-
bilities. East of the reservation the
road passes through a new country
which is very interesting to all who
like to see things in their natural
state. Duluth will at that time be at
it's best and gayest and the privilege
of stop there will be appreciated.

survey will be an exemplification of
civil service principles probably to a
greater extent than in the case of any
other head of that important branch of
the government.
Mr.. Tittmann entered the service of
the coast and goedetic survey when be-
tween II and is years of age. He be-
gan his career in the survey of 1867,
beginning in the lowest grade. His
promotion has been gradual ever since,
and the result OF close application to
the work of the survey and to recog-
nized ability. Mr.. Tittmann will be
the first superintendent of the survey
who has literally worked his way from
the bottom to the top" though there
have been other appointments to that
place of men who gained that recogni-
ton by long service.
Superintendent Patterson had served
in the field as photographer, and Prof.
Hilgard had been connected with the
survey a long number of years before
he was placed in charge.
Mr.. Tittmann was born in Illinois
and was appointed from Missouri, at
once entering the field. He accom-
panied the transit of Venus expedition
to japan as assistant astronomer in
1874 and served in the field for about
20 years in charge of surveying expedi-
tons. He was called to the office of
the survey in this city in 1887 and
placed in charge of the Office of
weights and measures. In connection
with this work he was sent to Europe
in 1890 and represented the United
States government at the international
geodetic conference at Berlin in 1895.
In the same year he was promoted and
placed in charge of the coast and geo.
detic survey Office. He was appointed
assistant superintendent in 1899, and
recently was appointed to represent
the United States in the demarcation
