The great McEwen is in town. +
Six years ago Wizard McEwen spent
several months in Fargo and had a
summer home at Detroit, Mimi, where
he met and knew as friends a large
number of Fargo people. Therefore,
McEwen is claimed as a Fargo man
and McEwen agrees to 1.-THE likes
Fargo and her people. He is glad
to see the many improvements in the
city since his visit here and takes
great pleasure in meeting old friends
again. &.fZ ~
Since being in Fargo the great Nc
Even has become even greater. He
has made complete tour of the
world. He has visited every country
including Australia, Borneo, India. At
the latter place he delyed for several
months into the mysteries OF the Hin
docs. His research in that direction
has developed him-has taught him
OF things which he shows the public
and which the average man never
dreamed of-the occult seems plain to
him now. !. III
The wizard has entertained the
crowned heads of Europe and Asia, he
has also been entertained by them. x
The many feats OF occult, mesmer-
ism, mind reading, slight OF hand per-
forr1ances with which he entertained
Fargo people on his last visit here,
are mere nothings as compared with
his power to entertain today. i
As relaxation-to be anused--to

LINEMEN APPEAL
TO CENTRAL
UNION

The electrical workers brought
to the attention of the Central La
Dor union last night the fact that
they have been having trouble with
the Washington Water Power po-
lice and deputy sheriffs since the
beginning of the strike. They said
that they had at all times tried TO
avoid any infraction of the law,
but that at times they had been
compelled to get off the same street
on which non-union men were
working or suffer arrest. They
asked that action be taken by the
local unions to secure fair treat
ment In the future from both the
city and county authorities. Just
what steps will be taken to COM
pei fair and impartial treatment
for unions that may be involved in
trouble was not decided upon last
night.

NEW YORK. Sept. 25-One of
the most marvellous escapes from
drowning ever recorded is that of
Miss Fanny Day, a department
store clerk, who was one Of a
party of eight shipwrecked in the
lower bay in the naphtha launch
Sausage. Three Of her companions
were drowned, two being women.
The others were picked up by pass
ing vessels while clinging to the
wreckage. But Miss Day was
dragged all the way to W Thirtieth
street in the open dump well of the
mud scow which had collided with
and overturned the launch.
The party, made up of chance ac-
quaintances at Sheepshead bay. af
ter revel in cafes decided to take
a sail, althoughthe water was very
rough. The launch was overloaded
in the first place. and Miss Day had
a premonition. she says. that two
of the women, strangers to her,
would get drowned if anything hap
pened, because they were so fat.
Sure enough, the fuel gave out and
the party spent all night being
tossed about on fOam-capped
waves. They hailed morning with

BERLIN, Sept. 25.-There is ex-
element among the women of the
little town of Nordhausen over the
action Of the town council in pro-
hibiting women from wearing
dresses with trains on the streets.
Dresses with trains" are defined
as those which touch the ground.
The new law provides a fine of So
for the first offense, $40 for the
second, and a days Imprisonment
for the third.
The advocates of dress reform in
Germany are warmly supporting
the council in its campaign against
unhealthy clothes, but the women
of Nordhausen, mainly to show
their independence have combined
to fight the measure, and their or
ganizatiOn has arranged to pay the

The leader of the opposition, Mrs.
Friesenstein, of Nordhausen, Wife
of a prominent citizen, has called
number of meetings in which a
vigorous protest was entered. She
suggested that if the present law is
allowed to stand some other frivo-
lous town council may decree that
women should not wear any dress

, NEW BEDFORD SOLD.

Negotiations have been concluded for the purchase of the New Bedford base ball franchise of the New England league from A. c. Doe of that city by the firm of Burke & Shay, who are en- gagged in business in Springfield. The price was $4,OOO.
 Messrs Burke and Shay have ex- tensive business interests in New Bed ford, among which is the athletic field where all the league games have been played.
 Does agreement to sell the team came through disagreement with the prOprietors of the field as to the amount of rent to be paid for the sea son, Burke & Shay making an advance in the figure which Doe considered pro. hibitive.
 Mr Burke made an offer of &, 800 fol the club last week. Does price was $4,50U, but when Burke offered to split the difference he agreed to accept S4, GOO.
 The transfer includes the following players who are under contracts: Gov eney. Elliott, Clark, Foote, Morrissey, McShane. /Burrill, Valdois, Murphy, Dwyer. Mullaney.

New York, Feb 2O,-Howard Smith bf Elizabeth, N. J., and Clarence Forbes of Chicago gave great exhibi-

 In the first round Forbes found Smith often with a left jab, and the round was more than half over before Howard was able to get in damaging blow on his adversary. Howard used a left swing to the stomach with great effect, and Forbes was forced to fight hard to keep up with his man.
 The second round was Smith by a large margin. After one minW.e of | fighting Smith planted hard swing on Forbes's jaw that staggered the Chicagoan, and for time 1t looked as Tiff Clarence would go down for the count. By stalling he managed to last through the round.
 The third round was one of the fastest ever fought. Both boys sailed into each other, and in one of the mixes Smith received smash on the nose that drew blood. The boxers dis. regarded cleverness in an effort to land telling blow. and the milling waxed so furious that the spectators stood upon their chairs and cheered like mad.
