FORD IS NOT FOUND YET
Missing Since Wednesday Evening
No Trace Whatever Found
River Dragging Unre.
Warded.

All day long the search for the mis-
sing Thomas ]. Ford has been kept up
but without success. Not a trace has
been found, not thread has been I'M
covered that will in any way throw
light leading to solution. He has
disappeared, been swallowed up as
it were, from the face of the earth.
Yesterday the river was dragged as
thoroughly as the open water and fac
ilities would permit. It is reported
that his body may be janlined down
in the centre of the stone pier of the
bridge and that a search in that quart
er may be rewarded. He could have
fallen down the opening but it is very
improbable.
Another theory advanced is that
Ford became insane and wandered
away. Another improbability as some
slight trace would be discovered. The
most commonplace theory is that he
fell through the ice and that even
now his dead body is lying on the river
bed or floating down the stream. n
this is the case the melting of the ice
alone can offer solution of the
mystery.

WESLEY COLLEGE
BIBLE NORMAL
DEPT.
Second Session Will be Held
Commencing on Feb. 10
Two Each Week.

The second session of Wesley Col
lege Bible Normal department will
open Tuesday, Feb. 18th. Courses will
be offered in English Bible, New Test
ament, and in Church History. AL
ternate courses will be offered in the
Life Of Christ and the Life of Paul,
and the study in Church History will
comprise outline studies in the Or
ganization and principles of the lead
ing denominations of the present.
Should the class desire there will be
offered an alternate course in Church
History. Work will be offered also in
Sunday school management; methods
of teaching; lesson plans; and other
topics of special interest to Sunday
school teachers and other religious
workers.
The present term which marks the
beginning of the work is meeting en-
pectations. There seems to be a need,
and the Bible Normal department is
apparently helping to meet felt
want. AS the public comes to under
stand the purpose and work of the
department others will avail them
selves of the advantages.
The work is carried on by lectures
and discussions, the object being to
provide the most-ani most useful
information possible in the time at the
disposal of the class. Collateral read
ings are assigned and the members of
the classes are acquainted with the
most helpful literature on the subjects
treated
The sessions are held in the lecture
room of the public library, Tuesday
and Thursday evenings at 1880.

freshments and Was Laid on
the "Slab."

Attorney George A. Bangs and Hon.
]. H. Bosard arrived home at mid
night after a very tedious trip from
Bismarck. They say that the capitol
city Is very quiet, much more so than
one would imagine from the newspa-
per reports. Papers that arrive at the
city on the Missouri are three and four
days late and about the only news
floating about concerns the workings
of the legislature. The train which
brought the two gentlemen from Bis
marck to Fargo was on the road from
Tuesday morning until last night. At
Cleveland the passengers had a rest
of 40 hours in which to recover from
the dizzy sensation created by the
awful speed which the train had
maintained. During this stop the fire
in the engine had to be pulled on ac-
count of lack of water and more time
was consumed in getting these nec-
essary refreshments for the iron tor
tOise.

the decision from which the appeal is
taken.

were candidates for the position OF
superintendent of schools. Miss Frost
won. Bickford instituted a suit, claim
ing that Miss Frost was non resi-

tered in his favor. In the mean time,
Miss Frost had been filling the office
of superintendent, and when the de-
cision was made. Bickford asked for
back salary. This was refused, and

.C0WAN Threatened.
WE'VE WITH A
FINE
During Progress of the Legacie
Case in the Devils Lake
Court.
DIVORCE WAS DENIED
And Costs Assessed to the
Plaintiff-Would-be Per
jury Prosecutions.

During the progress of the trial of
the case of Pearl Legacie VS. John Leg
acie, Judge Cowan of Devils Lake
threatened Attorney Wehe of Edmore
with fine for contempt of court. The
fine, however was not imposed, the
attorney disseminating the mode OF
procedure which was not liked by the
judge.
The case of Legacie VS. Legacle, All
action for divorce has been finished,
and Judge Cowan denied the applica-
ton. Mrs. Legacie is a former resi-
dent of Grand Forks, and ner maiden
name was Pearl McFadden.
In April, 1906 she was married to
John Legacie. In the following July
they parted. The divorce action was
instituted some time later, Attorney
]. L. Wehe acting for her. In the COM
plant, the cause of action set up was
the cruelty of the defendant toward
the plaintiff, alleging that on various
occasions he called her names, threat
ened her with bodily injury. made
threatening faces at her."
In the findings of fact, Judge Cow
an says that the plaintiff did not suf-
fer extreme cruelty, bodily injury of
mental sufferings, nor did she at any
time suffer injury as a result of his
treatment to her. That he always
treated her as husband should. That
he did not call her names. The find
ings shows complete exoneration
of Legacie, who is prominent far
mer residing near Edmore. The fight
was made over the property, which
amounts to considerable, and which
Mrs. Legacie wanted to have divided.
The costs in the action are assessed
to the plaintiff.
At the end of the trial, the state
ment was made by Judge Cowan that
if the states attorney would do his
duty, there would be some investiga-
lions and arrests on charges of per-
jury in connection with the case.
Attorney w. L. A. Calder of Grand
Forks represented the defendant and
returned from Devils Lake last even
ing.

Ten horses and snow pillow have

stated this afternoon that with the
opening of the new road he would put

CREST OF WAVE PASSES
The Outlook for Improved Weather
Conditions is Gratifying-Prob.
ably Cold Tonight.

Any idea how warm it was this
morning? Well it wasn't as warm as
many people imagine coming as it
did after the biting chills of the past
week or more. The sudden rise in
temperature however, entities the
weather in. this vicinity to tuck itself
under the title ola warm wave though
tonight will probably be cold enough
for you" as the old query goes.
The temperature yesterday was
somewhat warmer than for several
days and the decided letup today came
not altogether unexpected. The mini
mum temperature reached last night
was 10 below while several times it
dropped down into the 2O's.
The laity today has all sorts of
thermometer figures but the official
bulb speaks around in the neighbor-
hood of the mark. Early this morn
ing the mercury hid itself lower than
zero and at times this afternoon rear
ed its head near the 10 above figure
but zero as an average is pretty easy
after the brand that has been dis
tributed for the past month.
1t is thought that the cold wave
has passed at least let us hope so.

GILMAN SISTERS STARS
OF THE UNIQUE PROGRAM

Pearl and Eunice Gilman opened a
weeks engagement at the Unique last
night and are attracting unusual atten-
tion, not only as sisters of Mabel Gill
man, but on account of the merit of their
act. Eunice bids fair to rival the now
Mrs. Cory in personal popularity and the
artistic finish of her performance. The
act is divided into two parts. the
first being given over entirely to Eunice
In clever limitations, in costume and
action, of Mabel Gilman in the singing of
the two songs, ST Just Can't Make My
Eyes Behave and Jealous" both of
which made distinct hit with the large
audience. The second part of the act In
troduces both sisters in a pathetic
sketch, "The Christmas Tree" Pear
serves as an excellent support to her
clever little sister and herself possesses
no mean talent in her chosen profession
The Gilman sisters will remain the head
liners at the Unique all the week.
Another good number on the new bill
is presented by Lon Cox, silhouettist, who
rapidly cuts silhouettes of well known
men out of black paper and throws them
in a magnlfied state on a white screen
at the back of the stage. His clever
work earned a half dozen recalls. The
last turn on the olio, Dude Kelly in his
black-face singing and dancing, also
pleased the audience. The Unique COM
edy company presented Richard Cum
mings' latest farce 1.-THE New Coach
man." which for laughable situations and
lively dialogue is one of the best pieces
recently seen at this house. Illustrated
songs and some interesting moving pic
lures conclude the entertainment.

"THE PRINCE OF PILsEN"
A sARToRIAL SUCCESS

'SThe Prince of Pilsen," as presented at
the Mason opera house this week, is a
delight to the eye, and by the same token,
not infreuuently a disappointment to the
ear The production, as such, is well up
to the admittedly high Savage standard.
The costumes are new, rich and colorful.
The scenery is effective. The chorus has
been we'll drilled and the ensemble num-
bers are given with spirit and go. But
the principals, with one exception, wear
their clothes much better than they sing.
Doubtless the theater goer who never
has seen and heard previous presentations
of this best known product of the Pixley
and Luders workshop will find it highly
enjoyable. AS for the others, they will
find much at which to grisve in the mu.
sical deficiencies of the company.
Apart from the singing, 1.-The Prince OF
Pilsen" continues a joy. The humor OF
Pixley's lines, the ridiculous situations,
the laughter-provoking character of the
Cincinnati brewer who is mistaken for the
prince-all these things remain; and when
all else fails there is brilliant kaleidos-
cope of ever-changing color, much better
harmonized than the music.
Chorus Good to Look At
The chorus, somewhat less numerous
than in previous seasons, Is good to look
at, though New York's Broadway proba-
bly, is not wearing mourning because of
their absence. The men sing better than
the women. Heidelberg" sung by a
double quartet, is the best handled en-
semble number of the program. The de-
ficiencies of the chorus are most marked
in the elaborate Song of the Cities" de-
spite the fact that the number was en-
cored repeatedly last night, perhaps be-
nor f11..s o,-of1 - ~,
girl was reserved until the last.
Miss Vera Stanley alone among the
principals really has a voice and knows
how to use it. Miss Stanley's songs are a
genuine treat. AS for the others, it is
kinder not to regard them seriously. Dan
Mason is playing Hans Wagner this sea-
son, and he is funny enough to atone for
his musical shortcomings Miss Reba
Dale is the widow, and lacks both voice
and vivacity to carry the role to success.
George F. Moore as Francois and Lillian
Lawson as Sidonie have a dancing duet
that is excellently done, though they too
carry their music in their feet.

"THE GEIsHA's DREAM"
PRETTY oRPHEuM ACT

Very pretty and cherry blossomy is The
Geisha's Dream which the Orpheum pre-
sents as it's piece de resistance this week.
The "Geisha" is introduced by four
views" of Japan. Then she prepares to
dream behind a paper wall, which we are
to understand represents the ordinary
wall paper of the Geisha's domicile.
Here is where the lover of beauty ur-
adorned will rejoice. Follows now the
dream, which is a gorgeous riot of color
and motion with some new songs of sup
posed Japanese character. o Hama San
Sounds suspiciously like O'Harrahan) and
her two assistant Geishas dance really
Japanesy, and the act as a whole can
only be described in superlatives. If any
fault cankbe found 1t Is with the battle of
the flags. which closes the turn.
After "The Geisha's Dream" follows a
moving picture entitled "A Torpedo Boat
Attack Upon the Battleship Dreadnaught."
Motion pictures are as rule well placed
at the end of the show, but the Orpheum
management will confer a real favor on
this weeks audience by making this the
opening number so that none may miss 1t.
1t gives more information about warships,
torpedoboats and torpedoes than can be
gained by reading the reports of congress
and the navy department combined. The
movement of a torpedo through the water
is clearly shown in the picture.
These are the real features among the
new numbers Leona Thurber and four
little picks" do a dancing act-that is
the pickaninnies do the act and Miss
Thurber looks benignly on. The little
dancers are oddly suggestive of dwarfs
from Darkest Africa rather than embryo
American citizens. They are fiat-footed
se-jointed and dance as though inspired
by all the demons of Voodoo land.
The Balzers are described in the pro-
gram as original and up-to-date acrobats
The acrobat who wants to be original has
to go some these days. and the Balzers
do not carry quite enough steam to quail
ify. But they are good acrobats.
The Balfour quartet, as such, is mis-
fit. One of them is pretty one really can
sing, and the two males are superfuous.
The acts seen for a second time are
Ferreros and Poodle, Emil Subers. who
has new joke; Mile. Martha the up-and-
