Death OF CHARL ES PALDA

lIIARLES J. PALDA was born in Cleveland,
tx Ohio, twenty-six years ago, and soon after
his birth the family moved to Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, where the father still resides. His
Fl mother died when he was but a child and a
warm affection arose between him and his
brother the Judge much stronger affection than is
usually seen between brothers. which has lasted
SINCE and was only broken by his sudden death last
night.
His father Is a prominent business man Of Cedar
Rapids, and has been foY years engaged in the whole
sale cigar trade. For number OF years after Char
ley finished his education III Cedar Rapids he repre-
scented his fathers business travelling salesman.
About two years ago he came to kenmare as
manager OF the Smith Kenmare Dry Coal Co., and
acted in that capacity until about year ago, when
he entered the law department. Of the University OF
Michigan at Ann Arbor. While there he had severe
attack of pneumonia, which left him in very weak
condition, but he nevertheless finished his year at
the University. The doctor at Ann Arbor advised
him that he could not stand that climate, it
too damp, SO he came to North Dakota again as
soon the school year closed, arriving here in
June last During the past summer he has been oat
OF doors most of the time and part OF the time has
been spent in ranching, hoping the outdoor life
would help him, and he often said that he Seeng

A petition was circulated here
last week by Rev. DR.. J. H.
Boldridge and numerously sign
ed, asking the Legislature to so
amend the dispensary law that
towns in which a dispensary
has been established can vote
on it's removal. 1t is a rehec-
ton on somebody that such a
provision was not made in the
dispensary law in the begin
ming, and shows pretty conclu-
sively that the advocates of the
bill were not altogether in favor
of fair play. In all fairness this
amendment should be passed.

BALTIMORE'S CONFEDERATION

1t is estimated that there are
$4,000 people thrown out of en-
ployment by the great fire in
Baltimore, which started Sun
day at II O'Clock and ragged till
4 O'Clock Monday afternoon, en-
failing an estimated loss of
over one hundred million dol
lars and laying waste 14O acres
of the busiest and most valu
able portion of that hourishing
city. This is the third largest
fire in the history of this coun-
try, that of Chicago in 1871 be
ing the largest and that in Bos
ton in 1872 being the second
largest.

1t has been rumored for some
time that Representative 7, Y.
Williams of Lancaster would be
candidate for Congress from the
Fifth district in the primary this
summer, but in the absence of
any authentic information we
have heretofore refrained from
mentioning anything about his
prospective candidacy. While
in Columbia last Friday, however,
in conversation with Mr.. Will
liams, in answer to the direct
question, he stated that he had
decided to make the race and
would be in the field for that Of
fee this summer.
Mr.. Williams is an able and
rising young man. He has rep
resented his county in the legis
lature for four successive terms,
eight years, and in that time has
taken high rank in the House
and established for himself an
enviable reputation. We feel
quite safe in saying that if the
voters of the Fifth district see fit
to advance Mr.. Williams to a sea
in Congress to succeed Mr.. Fin
ley, who has been very popular
in the district, that he will not
disappoint their expectations but
will reflect credit both upon him
self and the district.

For The Enterprise
Mask Ball Saturday Night

a grand mask ball was given
in the Lancaster Cotton Mill
hall Feb. 9th and was much en-
joyed by all who attended. The
ladies costumes were beautiful
and the gentlemen's were be-
coming and neat. The names
of the masked are too numer
Gus to mention. Night and
Cinderella was beautiful while
stately Mamie and Mrs. Judy
lead the grand march, each
bearing a Bonnie Blue Fag. The
costumes were planned and made
by Miss r. E. Names and her
assistant Miss Bell Caskey, and
too much credit cannot be given
the two ladies for their assis
tance in making the party
success. The music was fur
nished by the cotton mill string
band. The only thing that
mared the pleasure of the night
was the illness of Mr.. Reed
Clayton.

SAME METALLIC RING.

Congressman CuShman says that the
Washington delegation to the republic
can national convention should be
given ''iron-b bound. brass rivited, and
copper lined" instructions to vote for
Roosevelt first. last and all the time.
This declaration by Cush has famil-
lar sound. In fact the metallic ring is
much the same as when he said that
the hackers of Levi Ankeny for the
United States senate Wers "A gang Of
triple Expansion, brass topped, gilt
with such braSSy characteristics will
not hesitate to seek election as dele
gates to the national convention under
iron bound brass riveted. copper
lined" instructions. Some of them had
such instructions to vote for a railway
commission as members Of the last
Legislature but trifies like that did not
prevent them from voting against it at
the dictation of George Stevenson.
BY the way. some of these epigram-
matte expressions of Cushman should
be framed and hung on the walls of
the Holy Roller" club rooms along
with some of the Unions cartoons of
prominent Boxers and its fulmina-
tons against Governor Mcbride and
his followers as "twO-faced. double
of harmony and make every meeting
of the club genuine love feast" 1t
is so sweet for brethren to dwell to-
sether in unity. especially when they
cherish such admiration for one an
other.

SLONE\IY TOWNS.

SloVenly towns cannot expect to
gain the respect of the visitors that
happen that way: much less can they
expect to attract people to a town that
is undesirable to live in from many
points of view. A town. to be attrac-
tive. must have pride as Well as a
business establishment of any kind.
The average person has no regard for
the looks Of tbs street, Rubbish is
thrown in the street without any
thought of the result. If all people
would exercise good sense in these re-
spects there might he u little less of
that SloveniSh appearance in many

Are we not beginning to realize this

it would require q lot of polishing with

that Pickrell OF Whitman county WAS
