SPECIAL SERVICES
HELD IN LOCAL
CHURCHES
Good Friday Observed BY
Solemn Exercises-Cruci-
fixion of Christ.

Special services of solemn nature
were held in the Grand Forks church
es-Catholic and Episcopalian-in
honor of Good Friday or Holy Friday
as it is called in the ecclesiastical
term on account of the fact that the
crucifixion of the Lord took place on
that day.
The day was dubbed Long Friday
by the Anglo-Saxons years ago on
account Of the protracted services
which dominated it in these times. In
the church of England the day is re-
garded as one of the most sacred of
the year and special services are pro-
vided in the Lethurgy. In the Catholic
church, also, the day is one of sacred
ness. No bells are allowed to ring.
In st. Mchael's church the mass of
the Priests Sanctified Hosts is cele-
brated, as we'll as the Way of the
Cross. The church edifice is denuded
of all it's ornaments as a sign of
respect and contrition. In most coun-
tries the Catholics regard the day as
one for rigid fasting-in some places
single meal of bread and water is
allowed-and the church services are
sad and mournful. The passion as

FLOOD DANGER IS PASSING
Water Raised Only Fraction Over Foot
Last Night-Receding at
Haggart.

The water in the river at Grand
Forks is rising very slowly. the cold
weather probably accounting for the
tardy rise. The government guage
this morning showed rise of but IL
feet during the night or only a frac-
ton of an inch per hour. Old timers
are Of the opinion that the danger of
a flood is now past as a good part of
the surplus water has already had a
chance to escape.
At Fargo the water raised an inch
and one-haf between o'clock this
morning and the noon hour. The red
light district is flooded. At Haggart

asked for that McEwen be restrained
from using or exerting any hypnotic

control and authority of his guardian.
Justice Mathers, on the application of
attorneys. acting for the plaintiff,
