The Business Outlook :,

The restoration of confidence in the
banks, and the free circulation once
more Of the country's currency, have
given wholly different aspect to the
economic conditions from that which
was prevalent in November and De-
cember. The money stringency stop
ped the movement of wheat and corn
and cotton from the farmers. to the
markets. It stopped the wheels of fac
tories everywhere. It closed many
mines, brought building operations to
a standstill, and threw hundreds of
thousands Of men out Of work. It
crowded the steerage of east-bound
steamers with scores of thousands of
workmen who chose to return with
their savings to their native lands
until the demand for labor should call

q The j. Stuttz + Theatre company,
as they are styled on the handbills,
have been among est US, and, like soft
soap, have made al imp ression. Ae-
cording to the venerable Mr.. stuttz
the company stands 5pafamo lnt Asfand
pre- eminent. among the considerable
galaxy which grace the armament OF
the theatrical world And they: are
stars, every one, Of them, :undeniable
stars. 1T is understood that, on the
.firstanight the box Office was: beseiged,
nay Overwhelmed, by Devils Lake cit
liens who were anxious and willing. to
part with their hard earned cash in
order to see these superb productions.
And; they were satisfied, fully satisfied.
Mr.. :Stuttz, in the neat curtain talk
of some length on the second night,
took pains to explain that he had been
approached by, t1ve-nay, six-men on
the street that day who had expressed
their dissatisfaction at Thursdays
performance. This was, Stuttz ex-
planned, simply because the disgrunt-
led spectators were not educated up
to the high art as depicted in the pro-
duction and by the thespians. On the
second night the audience, perhaps
having compassion on the overworked
box office of the preceding night, turn.
ed out about half as strongly. The
production presented on this memoir
able occasion was Dion Boucicault's
',The Bells of Shandon," but it is safe
to predict that Dion never presented it
as satisfactorily in every way as the
Stuttz aggregation did it up. The cos.
tunes, scenic investure and character
delineation was superb. Even If the
costumes at times, appeared to the
uninitiated, somewhat e incongruous

a superb Animal. !


During q fierce charge OF Confet1sr.
ate cavalry at Murfreesboro am officer
was killed and the. cavalry driven
back. The horse the officer had ridden
was magnificent animal; and he had
not been taught to retreat. Riderless.
he kept on his way, and as he dashed
through the Fedora. battery the sight
Of him was indescribably grand. His
nostrils were extended wide. his eyes
fairly blazed, and he clutched the bit:
determinedly with his teeth as he.
came Oh like the wind. with his sad
die flaps flying until he looked as if he
were himself flying Instead OF wildly
running. Every one gave him room as.
he dashed onward. An officer shouted
that he would give 500 ito any one
who would capture that superb ami.
NAL, but all seemed too much bound
up In admiration Of the noble beast to
make the effort. and he sped ION and
disappeared In the blue distance.

Another Record For Daniels,

Another Record For Daniels.
Swimmers are beginning to wonder
whether Champion G. NJ Daniels Of
the New York Athletic club will ever
reach the end Of his tether. A few
days ago the voice went around that
he was out OF shape, going back and
unable to come within striking dis
lance Of his former times. On a re-
cent night In the 45 by 80 foot pool Of
the Oakland Athletic club in Pitts
burg the human plckerel" set out to
disprove the statement, and he did to
the queens taste. Paced by his club
mate, L. deb. Handley, to whom he
conceded handicap, he foamed
through two lengths and one-quarter
Of the pool at such terrific clip that
the timekeepers could hardly believe
their eyes when they consulted their
watches. One stood at % As seconds
the other two at 80 seconds fat
Sixty yards in exactly half min
ute! The wonderful performance, one
and one-tifth seconds faster than the
previous worlds record made by Dan
iels himself last year, gives the vel
come evidence that our great Ameri-
can aquatic phenomenon can be count
ed on at any moment to equal his best
figures. Daniels swan that peculiar
long, easy stroke Of his own brew that
Is half trudgeon and half crawl and
that carries him over the surface with
hardly any apparent effort.

It would be good news to the turf

Cincinnati, is to return to the turf.
That institution needs all the good

REGULAR: MEETING
City Council Held Monday Evening"
important Business Discussed


The regular monthly meeting Of the
city council was held at the city hall
Monday evening. The regular budget
of bills were allowed and the routine
of regular business transacted. A
committee of ladies representing the
clubs of the city called at the meeting
and Mrs. Burk acting as spokesman,
presented a project to the city asking
the council to put it up to the v6ters
at the spring election to take over the
books of the public library in this
city and take necessary steps to pro-
cure for Devils Lake Carnegie Ii
brary. She told what the requirements
were In these cases, and the matter
was referred to the city attorney to
look up the legal side of the PROPOSE
ton and report at a later meeting.
A. " Haig then addressed the coun-
ell asking that the license now taxed
against the Star theatel of $25 a
month be reduced and read letters
showing that the amount charged here
was considerably in excess of that
charged for the same class of play
houses in other localities. The coun-
Gil assured him that his prayer would
be considered and proper action taken
In the near future by the adoption of
new ordinance covering this class of
licenses, and the city attorney was
also directed to bring In an ordinance
along this line. Mr.. Mooers also adj
dressed the council relative to license
charged the armory which will also
be taken care of in the ordinance. It
was also strongly intimated that the
ordinance would provide for more
protection to the patrons Of the play
houses relative to fire exits, etc.
The city then opened the bids
for the furnishing to the city of a
chemical fire engine, there were four
bids presented by the following COM
panies whom each had a representative
present at the meeting. They were the
Babin, Chain & Boyer Co., of Logans-
port, Ind, represented by w. H. Derry
of Minneapolis; VIM. Knott & Co., of
Chicago, represented by W. G. Nc
Guffln of Minneapolis; Northern Fire
Apparatus Co., of Chicago, represented
by W. L. Daring of Minneapolis, and
the American LaFrance Co. of Chicago
represented by T. Johnson of Crooks
not 1t seems that there was only one
bid presented on the specifications as
furnished by the city and that was the
one by the Northern Fire Apparatus
Co. The others had specifications
with their bids. Each representative
was given an opportunity to address
the city council and then the matter.
was laid over to a special meeting
when each Of the bids and specifica-
tions will be taken up and considered.
The mayor appointed Herman Rut-
ten assessor for the city of Devils
Lake which appointment was APPROX
ed by the council and adjournment
was taken.

ANNUAL SQUABBLE
OVER FOOTBALL
u. of u. and A. C. Are Unable
to Agree Upon Terms for
Next Falls Game.

The controversy between the university
and Agricultural college regarding the
football game. which has become an an
nual and looked for event, is again brew
ing, and this time it threatens to prevent
the big contest between the two leading
institutions Of The state. The game was
scheduled 10 take place IN Logan on cleo
lion day, but when Maddox drew up the
contract yesterday and offered IL 10 Coach
W alker he refused TO consent 10 several
Of the provisions, and. until these are
| taken out, he says he will refuse to sign
IL. These certain provisions, however,
are insisted upon by Coach Maddox and
the university faculty, so unless one or
/ the other schools reVerses its present de-
cisions the annual fotball game is mat
ter Of doubt
Thep rovisions that Coach Walker OBJ
jects TO- according to Maddox, are: NO
student shall be allowed TO represent
either institution who was not registered
within two weeks OF tine beginning OF
the school year ana mo student shall
be allowed 60 participate in said game
who has already played four years The
university faculty rigidly enforces these
rules, and it viii not allow the Utah
teams TO compete against any school that
does not observe similar regulations
Coach Maddox said yesterday; With
out these provisions the Aggies could play
any of their old men who have been
playing there for several seasons, and II
|
enter school a day before the contest.
/ The Agricultural college would not send
down any certified eligibility list last year
| and l would not have the right TO play
| this game under such conditions, even
/ if | thought it were the proper thing
| TO do. When the faculty passed these
rules il was taken for granted that our
| opponents would live up to them; and also
we must insist on this for the good of
/ the sport. If the Logan school intends
| to meet any of the Colorado teams they
Will find that this same trouble will arise.
! Coach Walker also objects to the pro
vision giving US a guarantee of $500 and
4 does not want the provision requiring the
| Agricultural college to erect a bleacher
that will accommodate 1900 spectators.
/ II this is not done the spectators viii
! crowd on the field and il will be impOs-
sibe to play the game, We cannot play
games without a fOur-yeaT rule. / do
not believe the faculty would permit our
men 10 enter without these provisions be-
