Beautiful Line OF March to Gem

With Flowers and Flags.

This is Memorial Day. Minot
is observing the day in a fitting
manner. The line OF march was
formed at $50 o'clock at the
opera house, and was headed by
the City band.
Capt. Blakey and CO. D nextin
line presented a splendid appear
ance. Six old soldiers, all veter-
ans of the civil war followed and
while their step was not quite as
firm as it used to be, their. enthu-7
siasm was just as great. and
they had lost not one whit Of
the sparkle OF their eye. Hun
dreds OF prettily dressed school
children, carrying flags and
flowers we're next in line and then
members of the W: R. C. and
others. They marched to the
cemetery where the graves were
decorated.
At 2::30 o'clock in the after
noon, impressive services were
held in the opera house. Judge
Davis was the orator of the
occasion and he acquitted him
self in a forceful and eloquent
manner. Fifteen old veterans
were present and each are Of the
opinion that the services were
the best they had ever attended
in the northwest. Major Person
and DR.. Storey rendered appro-
pirate and very beautiful solos.
The program had been arranged
by the members of the W. r. c.
who deserve much credit for the
success of the entire days pro-
gram. The stores closed from
$50 until five and all observed
the day.
The baseball game held at the
fair grounds in the afternoon,
between Minot and Leeds result
ed in victory for Leeds, the
score being 20 to 2. The Minot
team has done very little playing
this year and while some bril-
liant plays were made, the entire
them is not vet in very good
fo'm. The Leeds team is one OF
the best in the entire state.

Warren A. Stickley Editor of the Kenmare Journal Makes
Scurrilous Attack On the Best City in The State
0 And Her Wide Awake Inhabitants.

ranted attacks upon people OF
neighboring cities.
We knew that there was q RI
valry between Minot and Ken
mare, in other words, we have
realized for sometime that there
were certain people in Kenmare
who we're envious OF Minot, and
did not want to see this city
grow, but this is the first time
that one of Kenmare's represent
alive citizens has been bold
enough to make statements
which right down in his heart he
knows are false.
Why Bro. Stickley, do you
know that every day men with
BRAINS who visit Minot pro-
nounce this the best, thriving
little city they were ever in for
it's size? OF course you know it.
You are too selfish to ack-
nowledge this fact. You are
afraid that Minot will so far
eclipse all other cities in this part
of The state that there will be no
comparison. We know what's
the matter with you. Why you
poor, little weazling fellow, you
ought to be broader minded
than you are. You ought to
look for the good in things. You
shouldn't be digging down look
ing for the filth and the dirt.
When you come to Minot; you
ought to keep out OF the "stink-
ing' alleys. You ought to let the
wicked people alone. There are
a few here perhaps, but they will
let you alone if you do not
bother them. .,
You speak about the filthy
streets Of Minot. Bro. Stickfey
we have not been in Kenmare for
more than a year, but we have
positive information that due
west from your city not more
than 500 yards from the post
Office on the lake flats, is a nuis-
anct. ia the shape of a dead year
ling bullock and two large white
horses also dead, whose decay
ing bodies fill the air with the
stencil of putrefication.
One half block south of one of
the prominent hotels is a cellar
or basement, partly built. and
full of dirty green water all open
to the sun. We might mention
hundreds of other places that
need attention in your city, and
still until now we have refused
to say anything concerning them.
You want to clean your own
house before you gossip about
that of your neighbor. Who.
Bro. Stickley, what do you know
about the merits of an entertain
ment? Until recently you lived
in a little village that was glad to
see a medicine show twice a
year. You are in a good lively
little city now, and you ought to
adopt the broad minded spirit of
] the majority of her citizens.

Edward Grant, a wealthy man,
goes to South Africa to engage in
diamond mining, leaving his
daughter Emma in the care of
William Cosgrove. He also leaves
a will which at his death provides

his son who ran away from home
ten years previous. A reconcilia-
ton takes place and Grant makes
a new will dividing his estate be-
tween son and daughter. He is
soon after stricken with fever
and dies. Cosgrove in the mean
time tries to persuade Emma to

ling to apparently we'll informed re-
ports in Wall street.
This action, 1t is declared, will be

of the Standard OIL group, who feel
that Hartman has gon too far in

II. II. Rogers is said to side with
Hartman, and a serious breach OF
friendship undoubtedly has occurred
in the headquarters of Standard OIL
as result.
Exactly how much fact there is in
the report it is impossible to say.
It is known there is a serious dispute
and that important people in Wall
street, who are aware of it are adv's-
ing their friends to keep out of the
stock market until 1t is settled. They
say the dispute is of such a character
that 1t cannot be settled at one con-

making business too long. He is
blase. He is pesslmistic. He would
belittle mere peace talk, until he mas
discouraged the good talks. which I
came here to listen to-" He is right.
IT is just talk. and Stead is the most
anomalous figure in the assemblage.
He is the pioneer yellow journal
list" of England, and denouncer OF
the church as an instrument Of
peace getting.
Few of the delegates can cite us
to first-class credentials as represen-

Carnegie takes coupe of swings at

Roosevelt suggests something practi-
cal; a German delegate arises to de-
fend the kalser's reputation for

Mt. Sterling has disfranchised a
voter for accepting a bribe. Such
action presupposes that second
party offered the bride. Now, If Mt.
Sterling will disfranchise somebody
for bribe-giving, we shall feel that
something has been accomplished in
the way of morality. The discourage
ment of giving is quick way
to election reform; but we fear 1t
will be slow process, destroying the
usefulness of bribe-givers, by elm
mating one by one those unfortunates
susceptible TO bribery. One who ac-
cepts a bride is weak, either through
encouragement or bad home train

impossible to convict a voter of ac-

from whom he received the bribe.
One bride giver may debauch fifty
voters and it is the fellow, who gives
the bride we would use for an ex-

been placed in our hands for sale.

the post Office and embracing thirty
acres OF good land, having a regular

commands most picturesque view
