Encouraged by the success of their
midsummer carnival of last year, the
Commercial Club of Fargo have ar.
ranged for another of these unique
entertainments for the week of July
18th to 10Th. The celebrated Mundy
Show has been engaged for this oc-
casion, which is of itself a sufficient
guarantee Of excellence. A glance at
the Clubs announcement reveals the
fact that many attractions apart from
the Carnival proper are in store fol
Fargo visitors, among which we note
a baby parade in which the ladies OF
Fargo are taking an unusual interest.
The novelty Of this feature alone
should prove a strong drawing card.

Over the Utterances Of Mr.. John

Held.

A number Of the coIored people

utterances Of District Attorney

upon the character of the negro,
especially of the colored woman.
An indignation meeting was held
last night at which some caustic
speeches were made.

noxious, and a total SANDER on
the best men and women of our
race, Of this district, for the rea-
son that we have men and women
of our race of virtue, worth, abili-
ty and who are law abiding, we,
the colored business men, deny
and refute the statements as made
by the above named gentlemen.
We further denounce such argu-
ment as unbecoming from a man

PIER NUMBER FIVE
ABOVE WATER LINE
Rapid Progress on Repairs
70 Aqueduct Bridge.
THE END IS NOW IN SIGHT
History of Ancient Structure Between
Georgetown and Rosslyn, Va.-Used
to Support Canal.

Pier 5 OF the Aqueduct Bridge, lead
ing from Georgetown to RossIyn, Va,
will be completed by December, II the
builders make the same progress on
Il that has been observed during the
past summer. This is the judgment OF
the bridge experts Of this city.
Today the Pennsylvania Bridge Com
pany has the pier several inches above
the water line, and this means that the
most serious part Of the work has been
performed. II Will be remembered that
some delay was caused by trouble with
the cOfferdam when the foundations Of
the pier were being laid in the bed of
the river. Now, however. only one
pump Is required to keep the water out
Of the inclosure around the pier below
the water line.
The rapid progress made with this
pier contrasts favoTably with the diff
Guilty that was experienced in the COM
pletIon Of pier 4. the one adjoining pier
. in the middle Of the stream. 4 took
nearly four years to build pier T. and
two bridge companies nearly went
broke on the job.
Pier will be completed In December
and at that time the entire period re-
CURED for the work will have been
about six months.
The completion of this last pier means
the final strengthening Of n bridge that
has passed through various phases OF
Cnsafety. Primarily, before the war, the
structure was a wooden arch bridge,
i uNf'l dS a SuIpOIl lot Il CANAL across the
Potomac. When the war broke out the
canal, which had always been a leaky
cOntrivance, was emptied OF all water.
and the floor was used as a pathway
for Federal troops going South TO fight
the Confedcratcs.
Since that time pier after pier has
been built under the structure, new
! floors have been put in on different occa-
sions. until at last the result is strong.

that for several months past the num-

number of persons adjudged to be in

Of July and August and part Of Sep
