WON'T LET LOOSE
FLORA WOLFF, NEGRO WIFE OF
THE LATE LORD BEREsFoRD,
WANTS MORE MONEY.

Ell Paso, Texas, April "a Creditors
of the estate Of the late Lord D. r..
Beresford, who was killed in a train
wreck in North Dakota Dec. "a, 1906,
leaving very large estate, have filed
an application in the district court
here for the appointment Of an admin
istrator and probate of the will.
Among the plaintiffs is Flora Wolff,
the negress, who claims to have been
the common law wife of Beresford,
and to whom he willed $4,000. The
others are persons to whom Beresford
was indebted, whose claims New
York lawyer representing the Beres-
fords, attempted to discredit.
The estate is valued at over mil
lion dollars and consists Of lands and
cattle in Mexico and Canada. After
bequeathing $4,000 to Flora Wolff,
the will left the remainder OF the prop
city to Beresford's two brothers. The
Wolf woman declined to accept the
amount left her, claiming wife's
share under the laws Of Mexico. Adj
miral Lord Charles Beresford, when
here some weeks ago, failed to reach
a compromise with Flora Wolf and
left the other claims to be adjusted BY
his attorneys in New York.

man with fuel for his freside and ium-
Der for his home. They have bene-
fetal influence upon the rainfall, the
air, and the. soil; and in the spring
time their emerald ued tops are vocal
of the songs of birds, while
from underneath their foliage rings
out the still sweeter music Of chill

encouraging the planting and cultiya-
with a long established custom, do
hereby designate
Friday, May Sd, as Arbor Day
for this state, as a day set apart for
the planting Of trees, shrubs, flowers
and vines, for the identifying Of
homes, public schools and public

!! There appears to be a spirit of ir-
repressible poetry in the air. First
Governor Burke sends out an unusual
" poetical Arbor day proclamation
and now Commander Bigelow of the
G. A. r. of the state follows with a
Memorial day proclamation that takes
rank with the best, in which he says:
That sweetly solemn day, SO dear
to the heart of every citizen, and
doubly dear to the heart of the
veteran who more than two score
years ago led to its inception, has
now become an institution of the
land as firmly rooted as Independ-
ence day itself, and well 1t should,
for in the whole world S history no
z more beautiful sentiment could be
expressed than is the fidelity of the
loyal living to the loyal dead. The
observance of Memorial day has be-
come SO wide spread that at the
present time scarcely city or town
can be found in this republic that
does not in some manner pay tribute
to the nations honored dead And
what a graceful form the tribute
takes. The fresh and fragrant
flower produced by the power of
natures God, and the stainless
flag with its stars and stripes EN-
blematic of the thirteen colonies
that gave it birth and of the forty
i've states that support it at the
present time Glorious blending
flowers and flag. Glorious emblem
God and country. How fitting it
is then that in death the graves OF
our country's sayiors should be
crowned by the emblem of the
Watchword that was theirs In life.
Let the whole patriotic world in
Guiding the. comrades of the Grand
Army, regard the day with honest
7 pride, and look upon its coming as
the brightest jewell in the crown
that decks the brow Of the Union
veteran. Comrades will therefore
observe Thursday, May 80. 1907, as
Memorial day.

DIVERSION
THERE IS A. FINE OPENING IN.
BISMARCK FOR A vAuDE-
VILE SHOW 81
THERE is LITTLE In THE AMUsE-
MENT LINE IN THE CITY
JUST NOW

DlQ II, over occur TO you that Bis
marck has very few places of amuse-
ment where the young and old can
pass an evening away from home en-.
joyably? Since the closing of the pigs
a prominent form or amusement has
gone out of vogue and no other has
been provided to take its place. In
Fargo there are no less than four
paying playhouses: the opera house;
the Grand, an excellent little theater
where an eight-number vaudeville bill
is put on once in the afternoon and
twice in the evening; and the Bijou
and Ideal, two mixed moving picture
shows and vaudeville. In the latter
two there are a number of penny slot
machines where you can see pictures
and hear music at that small price and
other attractions at low cost. AT the
Grand the admission is 10 and 20
cents at the matinees and 10, 20 and
80 cents at the evening performances.
OF course the opera house charges the
regular theater prices. gt.. d
In the Fargo Forum of recent date a
Moorhead saloonkeeper alluded to the
shows in this way:
If the temperance workers realized
what a blow the vaudeville and nov
ing picture shows are to the saloons
Of Moorhaad, they would want to build
one on every corner in Fargo.
Formerly. he continued, rthere.
was not much doing in Fargo in the
evenings when there were no theatre
cal attractions or other entertain
ments. The young and the married
men of the city would stroll across the
bridge to our side looking for fun.
They found it in the saloons and we
were financial gamers.
Since the number of amusement
places on the Fargo side are SO great
the young men take their girls to the
shows and remain in Fargo, instead Of
visiting the saloons. Married men
take their wives and children down
town to see the moving pictures and
the vaudeville stunts and don't get
over our way
1t would seem that such class of
entertainment would pay in this city
and help solve the question as to what
our young men and others will do with
their idle evenings. The Fargo shows
are first.class in their way and not
made up Of transformers, and all sof.
them are run on Fargo capital and Ii
is paying a neat rate Of interest.

people come to the city every day for;

ing and, like the home people, would
be glad to patronize moderate priced

Valley City and Jamestown support
such shows in good shape and there
seems no good reason why Bismarck
would not.

GRAND FORKS HAD HER INNING
BEFORE SUPREME COURT
"a 4s& q
YESTERDAY B
ATTORNEY RosARD CLAIMED
OMISSIONS COMPLAINED OF
WERE TRIVIAL

The state fair case occupied the att
tention of the supreme court again
this morning. Attorney Bosard for
the Grand Forks fair people presented
the answer of the president of the
Grand Forks fair association and
argued the legal phases of the matter
at considerable length. The principal
contention as between the two oppos-
ing fairs seems to be the matter of
the compliance with the law In the
formation of stock company with a
paid up capital of $780, 1000 as required
by the law and the turning of the
land over to the state. It was the con-
tention Of the attorneys for Fargo
that the law had not been complied
with in this particular, that the prop
erty turned over was encumbered with
the debts Of the association, and that
its value had been arbitrarily inflated
to show q paid up capital IF $50, 900
over the Indebtedness. The answer
of the Grand Forks people set forth
that the land was worth more than
1t was shown to be worth In the re-
turn to the state. and that an attempt!
to buy land near the parcel turned
over to the state had shown it to To
held at 5000 an acre. 1t was also
argued by Mr.. Bosard that the law
did not contemplate compliance with
every slight technical feature, but that
the spirit Of the statute had been
complied with. He held also that
this proceeding was not proper one,
as an adverse decision would in effect
annul the corporation formed for the
purpose Of conducting fairs and would
vest in the state the title to this valu-
able property without any return, as
the land would not revert to its
original owners, because the law pro-
vided that it should revert only In
the event that the state failed to make
an ropriation. He thought quo
warranto proceeding addressed to the
fair association would be the proper
method Of procedure. He said also
that the legislature met every two
years and the matter was one that
could be speedily settled there without
great delay. As to the other matters
complained, the omissions alleged
were only technical and matters Of
detail and It was not to be supposed
that officers OF an association were
more than human and capable of
avoiding any error, however slight.
Attorney Barnet closed the case for
the Fargo people, going again over the
ground Of their claims and holding
that the Grand Forks association had
never complied with the plain intent
Of the statute. The matter was taken
under advisement by the court. Judge
Fisk is suffering from severe cold
and was unable to sit at court yester-
day morning and the addresses made
were taken down for his consideration
when the case is taken up. by the
court. Nj Sss

LAX SIGNAL SYSTEM.
Former Patron of Road Tells of Loose

no surprise to those familiar with condi-
tions on that line. In fact, the olly Won

CURED before" said a Washington man
this morning who spent summer at West
Falls Church with his family. The sys-
tenn of signaling employed on the road is
the most unique l have ever seen. / usual
ly came to the city on a car leaving West
Falls Church at Z o'clock in the morn
ing, closely following one leaving East
End just ahead of us. At Vietchs Sum-
nit we took a side track and waited for
west-bound cars. AS these cars would
pass the motormen would shout out the
number of cars following them. Some
times-very often, in fact-these announce
ments were unintelligible owing to the rat
tie of the cars. Frequently l have heard
the motorman of our car shout to the ap-
jroaching motorman, How many behind?
and many times l have heard an answer
something like this, One, 1 think, or
Don't know
"On two occasions, which l can now re-
call. our car waited for several minutes
after one of these unsatisfactory answers
and then went ahead Both times we met
car coming in the opposite direction, but
luckily on straight stretch of track. We
had to turn back. of course, to the switch
and let the west-bound car pass.
Another cause for frequent comment
during the summer 1 was over there was
the habit certain motormen had of racing
their cars against trains on the Bluemont
branch of the Southern railway. The
tracks of the two roads are practically
parallel and close together from beyond
West Falls Church to a point near Kear-
ney, where the electric line turns sharply to
the north. The speed gained by the trolley
cars in some of these races was hair-rais
ing, and no regard was seemingly paid to
