for police and other employees Of the
city to obey orders, especially when
It comes to unpleasant duties.
Ambassador Buys Land United
States ambassador to Mexico, e. II.
Conger Of Iowa, passed west yester-
day to Dickinson with G.. w. Heaton.
the big realty dealer. It is understood
MT, Conger is tcontemplati the pur-
chase of q large tract Of land in the
western part of the state. Mr.. Conger
was minister to China at the time of
the Boxer uprising, at which time his
home In Pekin was the asylum If
many Americans, who had to fight for
their lives behind the barracades sur
rounding 1t during that exciting period.
Had. Good Time-F'orum: Editor
J. F. Paul Gross has returned from
Bismarck, where he went to attend
a meeting, last Saturday, of the Ger.
man editors of the state. The attend.
ance was disappointing, as at the last
moment several of the editors were
unable to leave home. Those present
were delightfully."- entertained by the
German singing society Of the capital
city, and It was generally agreed that
there should be a gathering at Fargo
some time next summer-perhaps dur
ing the state fair.
Astonish the Ilatives-A letter from
w. G.. Gilbreath, who is in charge of
the state exhibit at the Illinois state
fair at Springfield, acknowledges re-
ceipt Of the "a big potatoes sent to
the exhibit from the pen garden, and
says: They certainly are monsters
and attract great attention. They
talk for themselves as we'll as for pro
ductdve soil Of North Dakota. They
add greatly to our exhibit and elicit
such comments as oh met, oh my!',
What potatoes. Did you ever see
anything like them This Is an i'm
mense fair. 1t is called the supreme
court of fairs and it really Is what it
Is named.'
They Use a Graphophone-The Man
dan Times certainly feels bad. It
says: The Republican last week was
asking why Mandan couldn't have a
band. The editor has the right bunch
we should have a band but he nieht
as we'll talk to the four winds Of
Heaven for all the good it will do.
We haven't got the men with public
spirit enough to organize it or men
who are willing to back it. When
we have public function, we can
hire a bunch of rubes to make a noise
or IN place of band concert we can
listen to a sousa rendition on the
graphophone. That's the stuff. It's
cheap. Let the city go to the dogs.
VIII Incorporate-It is probable the
Bismarck band will incorporate in q
Few days as a means of better organ
ization and control of instruments. A
great many, in fact nearly all of the
instruments, are exceptionally good
ones, costing from $25 to 500 each
and 1t Dis essential that the band have
absolute control of them as an oryani-
zaaaon, so that in case any men, Der
should leave the band there will be
no question as to the ownership of
Instruments have been acquired nv
the band in various ways, by sub
scription, by money raised by enter
tasa tain ETC., as at the present time
title to them seems a free-for-all prop-
osition. Incorporation will cure this
and put the band on a business foot.
