the position. The petitions of Mr..
Stevens and Mr.. Mockler are the only
ones out thus far for the legislature,
and it is doubtful if any other republic
can aspirant will spring up. Petitions
must be filed by next Tuesday.
Rink CIosed-The roller skating
rink closed Saturday night after an
immense throng had enjoyed the
healthful fun. There is considerable
comment over the action Of the post
commander in demanding that his
men be allowed the privileges of the
rink, and while on general principles
the barring of the soldiers is to be
regretted citizens call attention to
the fact that officers are asking
the people of Bismarck to associate
with the enlisted men when they
themselves would not do so under any
circumstances. There are great
many of the enlisted men who are I'M
doubtedly gentlemen and it Is I'M
fortunate that they have been made
| to suffer for the conduct of some of
| their comrades, whose actions when
! in the city do not come under that
head, and the rink management can
hardly be blamed when the PROPOSE
ton was put up to them by the fathers
of sons and daughters in the city that
they either bar the soldiers or forfeit
| the patronage of the citizens. AS
! the patronage of the soldiers was a
small item, it is no wonder the rink
people decided in favor of the citizens.
Track Team Returned-The track
team returned from Grand Forks last
night, bringing two silver medals, one
bronze medal and four ribbons.
Lowell Vandiver won a silver medal
in the shot and one in the discus
throw making second place in each.
Asa Dawson won place in the finals
of the one hundred yard dash making
third place. The relay team won
fourth place in the one-half mile relay
race, each one of the teams receiving
a ribbon. e.
4 Grand Forks won the meet having
a fine, well trained team under charge
of competent coach since last fail.
They have been training ell Writer in
the Y, M. c. A. gymnasium Each
man of this team won a gold medal.
The boys of Bismarck were we'll
pleased to see Donald Woods win the
quarter mile dash in which he made
such a record last year. He barely
won it by a scratch from Gullickson
of Park River.
The Langdon team and that of Graf.
ton made the best showing for the
number of men in the meet. Rude of
Grafton and Halloran Of Iangdon
made fine records. There were a
! bunch of fast sprinters from all over
the north half of the state. Bismarck
boys have no complaint coming. They
were popular with the other teams
! and the Langdon and Grand Forks
teams rendered them many courtesies
4 in the use of their quarters. John
j Wood, Brooks Hoskins and Ear
Rodgers were on hand to minister tc
. the wants of the boys from start tc
Z finish. Donald Woods and seyera
others of the Grand Forks team die
! all in their power to make the visi
a pleasant one. Brooks, John ant
4 Donald were at the train at foul
O'Clock Sunday morning to see thu
boys safely started home. =. =ga -
The team thanks the citizens o
Bismarck for their generous support
\ Bismarck was the only school on tn
q main line Of the N. P. in North Da

b was complimented for its pluck il

: towns like Fargo, Jamestown an,
: Cassehon were not represented. Their
I Is some good material left to work u
| for next year. Edgar Wills of tn
university says we have a prize i
| Lowell Vandiyer on the hammer she
and discus and with proper coachin
he ought to get first in all three nez
meet. u ga - A$ q 4* & r
III The method Of handling the NEE
showed lack OF head work. Their
seemed to be no, head. The startin
was abominabIe. 1t needs a coo
quiet starter instead of a nervous, e,
| citable one. Otherwise the meet Wa
a success. ~
