FEAST OF PASSOVER
Jews of Fargo and Throughout the
Land Are Celebrating the Day
Today.

While Christians all over the world
are commemorative the last days OF
Chirst's earthly life by observing Good
Friday and Easter, the Jews every
where are celebrating the Feast of the
Passover according to the custom
which has been observed by them
since the days of Moses, the law giyer
Like the rest of the race the Jews of
Fargo are holding special services, be-
sides observing the feast in their
homes. The first service will be held
this evening at 8 o'clock in the He
brew school on Third street south.
Both tomorrow and Sunday mornings
there will be services lasting from 8
o'clock until noon. These will be held
in Loyal Knights hall, and will be at
tended by a large number of the He
brew population. ..
The feast will also be celebrated in
the homes of the Jews, where this
evening the passover supper will be
served, and some time will be spent
in instructing the children of the
household in the early history of the
Jewish race, with special reference to
the sojourn and flight from Egypt and
the occasion of the institution of the
Feast of the Passover. For several
weeks past the orthodox Jews have
eaten unleavened bread, such as their
forefathers carried with them when
they made their hasty departure from
Egypt.

RAILROAD NOTES
RAILROAD TROUBLES.
High Water and Soft Track Caused
Some Annoyance.

Cakes Republican,: The railroads
are experiencing their usual spring
trouble, caused by washouts or soft
roadbeds. The weather of the past
week softened the ground rapidly and
the melting of what snow remained and
going out of the ice in the rivers has
resulted in some delays and few
wrecks. N'Et
The worst that has occurred locally
was the wreck Monday afternoon on
the Northern Pacific No. 70, the freight
due in Cakes in the afternoon from
jamestown. Seven cars OF wheat and
flax were derailed about three miles
north of the city about o'clock, caused
by soft spot on the track. Passen-
gers, mail and express have been trans
ferred the past two days to a train
run out from Cakes The track is now
under repairs and likely will be in
shape again today to resume regular
service.

the Jim river near Columbia, and 1t did
not arrive until Sunday afternoon.
The Milwaukee experienced some
trouble on the Glendale line where 1t
crosses the Elm at Westport. Pas
sengers and mail had to be transferred
for few days but we understand
the line is in good shape again.
The Maple river is out of its banks
and may take out some of the county
bridges. The bridge at Fullerton is in
danger and the one west of Silver Leaf
is reported to have gone OUT.
The Jim is behaving itself nicely.

HORSE DEALERS SUED.
Firm of Burgess & Lukyn of This
City Made Defendants in Action
Filed in Minnesota.

An action has been begun at st. Pc
ter, Mimi, by a number of farmers
against Burgess & Lukyn, the well
known horse firm of this city and Man
kato, to recover the sum of $4,000, the
value of 'Percheron stallion sold
about two years ago by the defendants.
Mr.. Lukyn of the firm, when seen to-
day, said that a horse was sold to
farmers at Belgrade Mimi, an import
ed Percheron stallion named Alcala.
The bill of sale and guarantee. used in
this sale is the same as used in all
sales made by this firm. II the horse
does not meet the guarantee the firm
will replace it with another horse, but
the animal sold must be as sound and
in as good condition in every way as
when purchased.
Mr.. Lukyn says the horse had been
kicked and injured as competent evil
dence will show. The plaintiffs ask
for another horse free of charge. and
the defendants have offered to share
part of the loss with them If they will
buy another horse. The charge, that
the horse sold was not as represented,
Mr.. Lukyn declares, is too silly to be
noticed. After the injury of the horse
the plaintiffs consulted DIR. Philips of
Mankato, and, at his request, it was
cared for in the barn of the defendants
at the order of the plaintiffs who asked
that the bill be sent to them The de-
PENDANTS made no charges whatever
and besides lent them horse for the
season free of cost and bred a number
of mares on the same terms. They
claim to have done all that reasonable
persons could expect.
