SLOCUM'S SPRING
FOUNTAIN OPENING

The weather was propitious.
This was the main factor to jn-
sure the success of the venture.
There was nothing lacking at
Sl:cun's fountain; carnations
and roses contrasted beautifully
with spotless white marble, and
glittering array OF cut glass.
Even Mr.. Simpkins' usually
smiling countenance was wreath
ed unusually, and Jack Rennick
fell only a little short, lacking
something OF CAPS" capacity.
Mr.. Slocum has his own elec-
trio moter for manufacturing ice
cream, the cream being supplied
by him from his Jersey dairy
farm, and several huge tubs OF
this delicious ice cream together
with several others of various
kinds of ices, were in readiness
for the large gathering which
commenced early in the after
noon, and continued It'll nearly
midnight.
One half thousand roses and
carnations were distributed as
souvenirs, but the supply ran
short long before the event came
to a close.
The orchestra, sequestered un-
der the shade OF an "almost
real cocoa nut tree rendered
music, which added to the charm
of the occasion, and busy white
coated walters fitted from table
to table, to keep up with the de
maud Of thirsty people as fast as
two frst-class dispensers were
able to ia ke their order.
The spring opening was in-
deed a SUCCESS, with capital
letters,

Attend u. CT. Convention.

Thirty members of the Minot
Council u. C. T. attended the
big convention at Grand Forks
last week. Geo. L. Morrow and
A. Robinson were among those
who attended. Minot made a
grand stand play for the conven-
tion next year, but Calgary put
up a better fight and won out.
Calgary offers to pay the trans
portation of all of the delegates
both ways, from the Canadian
line. Duluth, Bismarck and
Minneapolis were all after the
convention. Twelve hundred
members Of the U. C. T. attend
ed the big event in Grand Forks,
and that city did herself proud
in her entertainment Of the boys.

WOIvertOn Graduates.

A. e. Wolverton, son OF C. D.
Wolverton, the we'll known North
Prairie farmer, has graduated
from the law department OF the
Valparaiso, Ind, college. Mr..

The literary genius of the

exceptional ability marked for
him the honorary place OF class
historian. Not only is his COM
position original, but his ora

Us. Hively, a homesteader
near Schafer. tried TO end his life
last Saturday by shooting him
self in the head with a % calibre
revolver. Hively shot four times
but only bullet hit him, enter
ing his forehead. DR.. Morris of
Schafer was summoned and he
was given prompt attention,
which will probably save his life.
Hively is about fifty years old
and dependency is given as a
reason for his rash deed. He
was brot to Williston this week
and placed in the Frances hospi-
tai. He will recover.

to control the market over any
thing that their fellow men pro.
duce," the senator went on.
The most important products
are meat and grain. They do
not have a free, open market.
Six men in Chicago control the
price of meat, and the indepen-
dent packer does not have a
ghost OF a show. He told an in
teresting story about Harvey
Clemmons of Eagle, Wis, who
ran a line OF independent eleva-
tors. Clemmons had to compete
against the Milwaukee Elevator
company: a concern that has
since been learned is owned by
Armour OF Chicago, who is inter
ested also in the railroads. OF
course it was easy for Armour to
have certain assessments levied
on the independent elevators,
with the result that finally Glenn
mons liue OF elevators was re-
duced to three, and he was glad
to sell out to save the remnant t
of his fortune. The Armour CON-
pany is also interested in a line
of elevators known as the South
western Elevator company along
the c., B. & @. road in Illinois.
He referred to the iron trust
that controls the price of the
most precious OF all metals. Iron
is fast disappearing in the Unit
ed States, and it is estimated
that the supply will run out in
sixty years. The railroads own
most Of the coal lands in Penn
sylvania,, and the independent
coal mine operators have been
frozen out by the high rates ex-
acted OF them. In Pennsylvania
it was necessary to enact laws
prohibiting railroads from own
ing coal lands. Those roads got
around this by organizing dunn
my companies.
The speaker advised the people
OF North Dakota to send men to
congress who would see that the
right laws are passed.
The Minot High School fur
nished music for the occasion.
The speaker was introduced hy
Judge Palda, who in a very sp-
propriate way referred to the
senator as weed puller.
A number Of members Of the
alumni OF the University OF Wis
consin, from which institution
LaFollette is a graduate, occu-
pied one of the boxes and fre-
quently gave the college yell.
The box was decorated with the
college colors.
After the lecture the senator
was taken to the Commercial
club rooms where an informal
reception was held.

One-half Of the business por-
ton of Willow City vas burned
to the ground Thursday, fifteen
business houses going up in
smoke. Fire caught in the Lazier

"Fighting Bob" LaFollette,
United States Senator from Wis
consin, gave an address at the
opera house Tuesdaynight, which
was attended by a large crowd
of admirers OF the fiery little
statesman OF the Badger state.
For nearly four hours the trust
fighter held the crowd while he
told the people plainly about the
evils OF the great corporations of
to-day - truths that perhaps
nearly every body knew, yet facts
which the average business man
overlooks in his eager pursuit
after the almighty dollar Bob
LaFolIette says he's willing to
come to North Dakota again
and give series OF talks free.
LaFollette is heart and soul in
this great work Of fighting the
trust evil. He wants to see the
corporations doing usiness in
this country; he wants to see
them making a fair profit on
everything that they do, and
some besides to pay for the wear
and tear of their machinery, etc.,
and then give them little be-
sides; he's a liberal minded man
and does not want to see capt.
tai get the worst of 1T. But be
is strictly against the proposi-
tion OF allowing the railroads,
Standard oil, the steel trust, the
coal trust and the many other
trusts making an exorbitant
profit on stock which has been
greatly watered. LaFollette.
while speaking for large sum
of money each evening. states
that he is not laying this money
aside, states that he is not lay
ing this money aside, but he's
spending every cent in having
literature printed and dlstrib-
uted over the country that the
people may become educated.
LaFollette believes that unless
the common people rise up in
their might this country will see
one of the greatest wars in the
worlds history between capital
and labor. "You know here in
North Dakota what it means to
feel the heel of a boss upon your
necks," the senator went on. IL
believe that the business inter-
ests OF this country are Destroy

When he was boy he lived on
a farm and used to haul wheat
to Madison, Wis. In those days
the elevator men would come out
to the wagon and test the
wheat, making a bid for the
same. This was fair competi-
tion. 1t is different to-day. he
says. "Men are not good enough
