The city election in Dickinson on
Monday resulted in the reelection Of
the four outgoing aldermen, Messrs.
Roquette, Richards, Turner and Stew

Treasurer White and Justice Folsom.
In cities where political lines are
closely drawn, it would have been
heralded over the state as great stall

The contest between F. L. Roquette
and w. S. Russell in the 1st ward was
not generally known until the morning

The people Of this ward on the south

What Voter Thinks
Graeber, N. D.,

Graeber, N. D., April 6, o8
Editor of the PRESS:
The Germans of the Madison township
1904, fully appreciate the help G. A.
Graeber has been to this community and
would like the people of the county to
know it.
When we had our township primaries
there were few Americans that did
not want the Germans to hold any
office. Mr.. Graeber did not attend the
meeting but soon learned of the result
and Immediately got busy. He was
urged by all of the Germans and a
number of the Americans in this locality
to be candidate for the office of treas
urer for Hettinger county. A better man
for the office could not be found and no
one need be ashamed to vote for Mr..
Graeber.
MIR. Graeber has been known to the
people of Hettinger county for FIVE years
and has reputation of being an upright
and honest man. He attended college
in Des Moines, Ia, has an excellent edu-
cation, understands business methods
and would be help to the citizens of the
county. The fact that he speaks English
and German is another strong point in
favor of his candidacy and when l in
dorse him l am voicing the sentiment Of
this community.

"oH HtoEurope''

The most elaborate program is being
prepared for the farewell entertainment
Easter Sunday evening at the Dickinson
opera house on the eve of the departure
of Father Rabsteinek for Europe.
Glancing over the program we find the
Dickinson Military orchestra down with
regular concert. This Dickinson organi-
zation and home talent speaks for itself.
Piano duets and trios by promising
pianists. Singing will be a surprise.
There are the drills; which will draw
forth the admiration of all, "War of
Roses and "Ship of States" Miss
Edith Kihm will contribute to the feast
by a beautiful solo, "Joan of Arc" A
violin solo by Miss Hazel Aultman, ac-
companied on the piano by Miss Cola
Litch, will capture the hearts of all.
Recitations and singing by little folks,
which has pleased so much before, will
be rendered by two most talented little
actors. 81 am Bad" by M. Rock, and
kissing Papa through the Telephone"
by J. Fisher. Talented musicians,
Misses Luella Peet and Edith Kihm;
also Misses Myrtle Parker and Ruby
Wilson, will be appreciated in their
piano selections. The farces, "Chinese
Servants" and "The Dentists Clerk"
will make you forget lent. The climax
Of all will be the beautiful opera in three
parts "Off to Europe"
It is well known fact that Father
Rabsteinek will not be let out of Dickin-
son SO easily. The following speakers
will make a few remarks and their names
are sufficient testimonials: Rev. John
Dignam, Senator L: A. Simpson and
Mayor-elect George M. Frye.

The official census was completed this

to give the city a library building to cost

QUESTION OF JuR1sp1oT1oN.

An interesting point of law was
brought before Judge Robinson yester-
day in plea to the jurisdiction in the
case of Maximiana Brilliante, indicted
for assaulting Ben Guerrero by shoot
ing at him on the barkentine Irmgard
some weeks ago. The plea to the ju-
risdiction is based on the claim that
the assault, having been committed on
the Irmgard in Honolulu harbor, is
only triable, if at all, under Section
5346 of the Revised Statutes of the
United States.
The plea was argued by Judge
Quarles ON behalf of the defendant and
by +. w. Milverton on behalf of the
Territory. Judge Robinson overruled
the plea, as well as a demurrer, and
the defendant was given until today in
which to plead.

The Alameda, after fine trip of
less than six days, arrived off port early
yesterday morning bringing very
large number of passengers, over one
hundred sacks Of mail and good sized
freight. The San Francisco ferry was
greeted by small crowd at the wharf
as she was earlier than usual and came
to dock about an hour ahead Of the
regular time. The Alameda had some
rough weather the first day and night
out of port and the day before arrival
high seas were encountered. The days
in between were fine, however, and two
dances were held, the sixty.three cabin
passengers, of whom many were ka-
maainas, entering into the spirit of the
functions with zest. The Alameda cele-
brated the Fourth of July by sailing
from San Francisco just before noon.
According to the bookings she will be
as full going up as she was coming

"In regard to the fumigation Of

Horticulture and its agents and in3pses
tors extremely courteous and helpfJ
The reason the board wanted the fun Il
CATION done here was that it claimS. (
it had found by experience that fun
CATION in the crates was not efficienl
the fumigating gas apparently not peft
fectly penetrating the hay in which the
pines are packed.
"When fumigation was first begun
here the only cyanide obtainable in the
market was Merk Is, which is 100 per
cent. pure, but very expensive, and q
grade 81 per cent. pure, that was much
cyanide and followed the formula sug4
gested by the local authorities. But
some of our pines on arrival in San
Francisco were found not to be eff
GENTLY fumigated, and it was not until
after considerable experimenting and
after we had made the fumigation
three or four times as strong as was
indicated, that our pines were found
thoroughly fumigated. Since then we
have had no trouble, though we did
not make any shipment by the last
Alameda.
1t seems to me very injudicious to
charge the California Board of Hdrti-
culture with virtually conspiracy
against Island fruits on the presept
state of facts. Our own experience
goes to the contrary and indicates the
best spirit in the world on their part.

found that when shippers here have
learned how to perfectly fumigate their
pines, there will be no more trouble. -
