New Deposit Guaranty Plan.

Senator B. P. Waggener, of Atchi-
son has evolved a plan to guarantee
deposits in both national and state
banks. The Waggener plan is to
have the government require a two
per cent interest on all of the money
which it deposits in national banks.
This interest would constitute one
big fund, which would serve as a
guarantee to the money of the general
depositor in national banks. Senator
Waggener's plan for the state banks
is almost the same as with the nation.
al banks. He thinks that interest of
two per cent should pc paid upon all
state, city and county deposits in
state banks. and this interest deposit
ed in one place, say with the state
treasurer, and to be used as a guar.
antee for depositors in state banks.

The Firemens' Ball.

The annual firemen's ball on Monday
evening was everything that was ex-
pected. Dode Fisk and his eleven
piece orchestra never disappoint, and
the large crowd that gathered to the
concert and remained over to the dance,
showed the popularity of this annual
gathering. The concert lasted an hour
and half, and each number was greet
ed with hearty applause. The dancing
afterwards was most enjoyable social
affair and did not break up until after
three o'clock. The hall was prettily
decorated for the occasion and it can be
truly said that the thirteenth annual
ball has been one of the most success
full functions yet had by the fire laddies.

Good Game.

Our boys played an excellent game
of basket ball with the Fargo college
team at the hall on Tuesday evening,
but despite their good work Fargo
came out victor by the close score of
rs to 81. The home team was ahead
by four points at the end of first half
score is to 11-and had it not been for
some rank decisions by the Fargo UNI
pire they would have carried off honors
handily. OF the 21 points gained only
one was made on a foul. Owing to
bad weather and following so close on
the firemen's ball the financial end
went to the bad something like $50, and
the boys hope for better turnout at
the next game.

Fire at the Samaritan Hospital,

Fire at the Samaritan Hospital.
Just as the firemen got to ''hoeing''
it down in nice shape at the ball Monday
evening an alarm Of fire was turned in.
1t was found that kerosene lamp had
exploded in one of the upstair rooms in
the Samaritan hospital and it had
gained good start before the firemen
arrived on the scene. 1tbeing firemen's g
night it was thought for awhile that
the alarm was hoax and many on that
account did not respond as quickly as
they might. The damage was mostly
confined to one room and was readily
extinguished as soon as the water was
turned on. The bedroom furniture was
demolished and the woodwork badly
charred.
It was just that morning three of the
guests had left for their homes, and
but three remained. These were Miss
Hayden of Forman, Gus Mcdonald
of this city and Charley Orn's little
boy Of Crete. None of them suffered
any by the removal temporarily from
the hospital.
The damage is being repaired and
everything will soon be neat as ever.

WILL MAKE FIGHT.
Progressive Republicans viii War Against
Alex. mckenzie.

"hSNV1AsOs
Fargo, N. D., Feb. THAT no
question may exist as to the issue in
North Dakota, the executive commit
tee of the progressive republican fac
tion today adopted the following:
To the republicans of North Dakota:
The object Of the progressive republi-
can movement is to preserve and per-
petuate the republican party in North
Dakota. To do this confidence must be
restored in the mind of the individual
voter by eliminating the baneful in
fluence Of corporate domination repre-
sented by McKenzieism and allied
interests now wrecking the party.
The first logical step in such elimina-
tion is the election of delegates to the
state convention to be held at Minot on
May Ia, 1908, who will select delegates
to the national convention pledged to
use all honorable means to secure the
nomination of William H. Taft for the
presidency, and who will choose a
national committeeman known to be
free from the taint of corporate in.
fluences and in harmony with the
principles of progressive republicanism.
To accomplish this end the executive
committee of the progressive republi.
cans of North Dakota earnestly appea
to the patriotism and loyalty of al
republicans in this state.

County Politics.

Things are looking up a lit in county
politics. Candidates are beginning to
announce themselves for places on the
ticket and others have the matter under
consideration.
The only public announcements SO far
made are v. E. Haskins, of Glendale,
for auditor, and o. D. Beggs, of Ellen
dale. for register of deeds. For the
latter position Mark johnson, of Fuller
ton, is also willing candidate.
Geo. H. Fay will be a candidate for
reelection as Judge, Mrs. G. M. Lowell
is willing to again take the position of
superintendent of schools, while Prof.
E. w. Ackert of Glendale is being
urged by his many friends to come out
for that place. J. E. Baker makes an
excellent man for clerk and is a candi-
date again for the same position. E. E..
Cassels IS willing to accept the nomina-
tion for his present position as states
attorney, while some think that this
should come to Oakes this year and
w. S. Wickersham would be recep-
tive candidate. 1t is said that BENZ.
Porter will be the democratic candi.
date for that position if any man but
Cassels is nominated, but he does not
like to try conclusions again with the
ruddy- checked fellow from the county
seat.
Senator Thatcher has given it Out
that he will not again seek senatorial
honors and w. A. Caldwell of Monangc
is favorably spoken of, while D. T.
Youker of Glendale is casting an eye ir
that direction. Geo. T. Webb of Ellen.
dale, formerly states attorney, is
understood to be after the democratic
nomination for senator.
Guy Reams is getting the feeling rel
ative to getting into thegame. with the
sheriff's Office as the objective point
and it is whispered that Charley Scott
county commissioners from the Ellendal.
district, would like the nomination OF
the democatic ticket.
For treasurer the name of j. Oscal
Olson of Glover is mentioned as q can
didate and it is understood that ]. H
Denning Of this city is being urged TO
the place.
It is said that George Rose and C. B
Andrus will not enter the race thi
year to succeed themselves as repre-
sentatives and the friends of H.
Oberman Of Forbes would like to sc
fRim enter the lists. There will be- onl
one representative from the county thi

Marshall Is Pleased. /.

Congressman Thomas F. Marshall
spent a few days in the state the past
week, coming from Washington to at
tend the grain growers meeting at
Minot. On the way back to Washing
ton he spent a day each at Grand Forks
and Fargo. A phone message from
Fargo Monday said he would leave there
that evening for Washington. He was
highly pleased with the reception his
candidacy for u. s. senator was receiv-
ing in the north end of the state. He
goes back to the capital feeling very
confident of the result of the reform
movement in North Dakota.
