lished statement giving the results
of direct taxation for the past eight
months, showing an increase Of re
ceipts. From this and other indica

had no effect even in the most revolu

being only noticeable in the famine
districts. M. Kokovsoff says further
that there is no indication that the
Viborg propaganda has had any effect

dence st the state was insufficient to
warrant a conviction, motion for q

The point involved in the case is

ton was brought upon contract for
the recovery of money alleged to be
due for medical services rendered the
defendants.
1t appears that when the notice of
an action was served on them, the de-
PENDANTS put the matter in the hands
of Valley City man, believing that
he was an attorney. 1t developed later
that he was not an attorney and did
not take proper legal steps to answer
the complaint. The result was that
judgment was rendered against the de-
PENDANTS. The first that the plaintiffs
knew OF the judgment was when the
sheriff leveied on some of their pro-

CONTEST IN ORATORY.
State Meeting to BE Held in the City
April IL,

In connection with the state oratori-
cal contest j. +. 7. O'Connor of this
city, president of the Western League
of Oratory. writes the Fargo Forum
the following:
The people Of Fargo will have an OPP
portunity shortly of hearing the col
iege orators of North Dakota. Last
year the state contest was held at
Grand Forks and the Metropolitan the
alter was crowded TO the doors. This
year the contest will be held ut the To-
cal theater April Is. The following
colleges will have orators in the con-
test; Agricultural college. Fargo col
lego, Red River valley university
(known at present as the Wesleyan
cOllege) and the State university The
rivalry between the different institu-
tons was never more keen than at
present and the orators are working
hard to carry off the honors for their
respective colleges. The winners of
first and second place will represent
the state Of North Dakota in the inter
state contest with South Dakota which
will be held at Broollings, s. D.. in
June.
AS result of the rather harsh
criticism which has been heaped upon
some of the student activities within
the past few months. on account of the
over emphasis which institutions have
taid upon them, and partly because of
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1906-04-02

the obscure future beneficial results
from these activities, a change has
been produced in the public mind and
the people are demanding an insight
into the deeper training-the intel
lectual training. Telegraphic reports
from all over the country inform us
of the great interest which Is being
taken in oratorical and debating con-
tests. At Denver, Colo, the inter-
collegiate Oratorical contest was held
Feb. % and every seat was sold for
the contest. The state normal schools
Of Illinois held their contest March %,
at Macomb, ILL.,, and it was impossible
to find hall large enough to accom-
modate the crowd Numerous other
instances might be cited to show the
great interest that the people are TAX
ing in these contests. The people of
Fargo are particularly fortunate in
having the state contest held in their
city. The contest is held in Fargo
every third year and after this year
will probably be held every fourth year
at Fargo. The state science school has
made application for membership and
if admitted this will locate the contest
there every fifth year.
State and Interstate Leagues.
The intercollegiate Oratorical Lea
que of North Dakota is member of
the Western League of Oratory and
the success of the state contest directly
effects the interstate league of oratory
Last year the success of the different
contests placed the Western League
of Oratory on a better basis than ever
before financially and other wise and
it is to be hoped that the people
will support the state contest this
year fully as we'll us last year.
1t is expected that the different COL
leges will bring large delegation to
the contest which promises to be the
most interesting one held in years.
Since the organization of the West
ern League of Oratory, North Dako-
tn has won one contest. One contest
in nine years is rather poor showing
and North Dakota orators this year are
making every effort to defeat South
Dakota but the showing must be made
in the state contest. South Dakota is
also working hard to defeat North Da-
iota in the interstate contest but with
loyal support by the people who are
interested in the colleges of North Da-
kota and the students of the different
institutions, there is every reason to
believe that the Representatives, from
North Dakota this year will carry OFF
the honors from South Dakota.

SUPREME COURT CASES.
The Grind Continues in Session at
Fargo.

The case of interest argued in the
supreme court Saturday at Fargo, was
Roy Beleal by E. ]. Beleal, his guar
dian, vs.. the Northern Pacific Rail-
way company, an appeal from the dis
trict court of Barnes county. The ac-
ton was brought in the district court
to recover damages on account of in
juries sustained by the plaintiff while
engaged In assisting in loading ice in
cars at an ice chute in Valley City in
December. 1905.
The attorneys for the railway COM
pany were assisted in their arguments
by working model of the chute,
which was the center of interest in
the courtroom.
1t appears that the plaintiff, 16-
year old boy. had been engaged with
gang of men at the ice house in assist
ing in hauling ice out of the Sheyenne
river up to ~ wooden platform at the
bank of the river, then in loading the
ice, cut in blocks, by sliding or per-
hitting it to slide down chutes to
platforms at the end of the chutes,
from which platforms the ice was
showed into box cars.
The plaintiff was first engaged in
Stumbling" the ice as it came down
the chutes. After he had done this
work for some time and had been
struck by the hook attached to the
rope by which the ice was hauled up,
he was directed to 60 down and shovel
the fragments of ice away from under
one of the chutes. While he was en-
gagged in doing this work, men on the
platform at the foot of one Of the
chutes showed part of a block of ice
off the chute for the reason that it was
broken and was not of a proper size
to be showed into the car.
The boy was not warned by the
men above, as usual, and was struck
by the piece of ice. He sustained SER
ious injuries and a suit was COM
menced against the railroad company
which resulted in his being awarded
damages.
The case of the state OF North Da-
kota VS.. George II. Tonne was argued
this morning. The appeal is from an
order of the district court of Griggs
county denying new trial to the ap-
pellant who was convicted on charge
of embezzlement.
1t appears that the defendant, who
was cashier of the Hannaford State
bank at Hannaford was arrested May
81. 1905 on charge of embezzling
$1,000 from the bank and at his trial
was convicted.
The defendant contended that the
court erred in admitting testimony of
other offenses than charged in the in
formation. The testimony is particu-
lar was that the defendant had manip-
ulated statements, showing incorrect
balances. one to Mr.. N. j. Olson and
another to one Mr.. Hyde.

matters, such as state politics and
cries of gang have absolutely no
bearing on the subject.
AS see them, the questions which
the people of this city have to consider
and the issues presented are:
Il. Economy and general COM
potency.
"2. Solution of the gas problem.
"3. Personal villifcation."
Referring to the first issue, Mr..
SkulasOn said that If one man could
conduct the affairs of this city more
economically than another, then he
was the man we wanted THAT John
Dinnie Is that man." said the speaker,

Referring to the gas issue, the speak
er stated that there had not been one
scintilla of evidence presented during
the campaign to show that John Din
ME had any connection with the Grand
Forks Gas & Electric company. but
that on the other hand, he had en-
deavored to compel an adjustment of
rates in the peoples favor.
On the personal villifcation ques-
ton, Mr.. Skulason suggested that Mr..
Dinnie, in his desire to be made exc
cutive of this city, could not certainly
have been actuated by salary induce
ment, inasmuch as the mayor of this
city is paid only 500. Neither could
he be after the honor, as he had al
ready had enough of that in the past.

not disclosed a single flaw in the
character of John Dinnie. No man
can live quarter of century in a
city like this and not he found out, if
he is wrong.
Such eXtraneouS matters as state
politics have no place in this fight.
The gang" issue was injected into this
campaign by the Duis adherents sim
ply as a last resort, every other ques-
ton having been met and answered
fairly"
With reference to recent sugges-
ton in The Herald that he (Mr. Skula-
SOM was looking for political honors,
the speaker made denial, saying: 81

Geo. A. Bangs made a brief but eX-
plicit talk, touching upon the filtration
question and taking up. also, the mat
ter of wasted franchises under the
Duis administration.
Colonel Brown, the first mayor
Gian,i Forks ever owned, also made
brief talk. Colonel Brown emphati-
caliy endorsed the previous admins
trations of John Dinnie, stating that
Grand Forks had experienced her
greatest growth during the eight years
in which her executive powers rested
with that man.
AS a wind-up to the meeting, Chair
man G.. H. Howard made brief talk

greater and that with $500 less stock.

name Is much In theatricals, In order
to retain its value the manager must
live up to It ct all times-hence the
public is q beneficiary as we'll.
Variety is the bane Of theatricals-
It is the spice Of life In other things.
The continued clamor for something
new forces the managers to make
efforts to provide (which are often
to their disadvantage since such new
offerings must be subject to the judg-
ment of himself alone, until the pub
lie Is invited to pass judgment there
on.
Not until such Judgment has been

the managerial head lie easy. With

eighth consecutive season for the play
and there is not the least evidence Of

Blanche Walsh in sThe Woman in the
Case"
Blanche Walsh, who occupies
place on the American stage that is
all her own, and whose magnificent
performance of Maslova in the origin-
al production of Resurrection" Is
known from Maine to California,
comes to the Metropolitan on Thurs
day evening, presenting her latest and
greatest success, Clyde Fitch's 1.-THE
Woman in the Case" The play was
originally produced at the Herald
Nnyry owl, 90 -, a..
intended four-weeks' run. 1t stayed
at that theater for four months, and
the engagement closed only on ac-
count Of summer heat that cools even
unstinted enthusiasm. in August, long
before the serious drama had return

financial success, that might have been
prolonged indefinitely had it not been

the much sought New York endorse
ment received at the time the piece
was presented at the Herald Square
Is given below and is an extract from
