manner in which the visitors are TAX

boarding houses are taxed to their
utmost in caring for the visitors,
whose number exceed by far that
of any other fireman's convention

to Third Avenue, N. E., north to
First street and back to the city hall.
The boys made fine showing as

fit for the arduous duties often de-
yolv1ng on them.
The parade was headed by Assist
ant Chief d. Taylor of the local de-
partment on horseback; then came
the Mandan City band Of twenty-six
pieces, followed by the state asso-

The State Democratic ticket for use in the primary of May IS is completed The last entrance into the campaign has been made. and except for the pos sible correction of errors in name or spelling. there will be 10 changes made by the officers of the Executive Com mittee.
 The announcement that the ticket was closed was made last night by ]. Kirk Jackson of the State Executive Committee, who has charge of the preparation of the tickets. Mir. Jack son was then but commencing the ina mense task of preparing the entire mass of tickets. of sixty-seven varieties. that are to be employed in the casting of the ballots of the party in Alabama.

Booker, Henry D. Clayton. R. M. Cum ningham, J. Thomas Hefin, Osceola Kyle. F. s. Moody. John W. Tomlin- son. It Is here. perhaps, that the dis elimination between Bryan and anti Bryan sentiment will be most strongly marked For alternates to this posi- tion there is no contest. there being but four candidates.
 In the First. Seventh and Ninth Con- gressional Districts there is competi- tion for the partisan places. there bee ing more than two candidates in each of those districts,

 The Lyons followers held a rally in the square and fully 1000 persons grouped around the stand. applauding the emphatic utterances of the ora In the Odd Fellows building the Shepard Executive Committee. about | 100 strong. held session. | At both these meetings the chief subject discussed was the publications contained in the afternoon papers. The Herald put out an extra charging that Mayor Lyons had refused George Ros- son permission to examine certain books in the city clerks office neces- sary to correct audit of the ac- counts in that ofiee.
 Mir. Rosson 1t will be remembered, had been employed by the- Business Good Government Club to check over the audit recently made by other ac- countants with view of obtaining light on certain features of that audit. He today reported to the club that he, had been denied access to the neces- sary books.
 Later in the afternoon The Item is- sued an extra. This contained q state ment from Mayor Lyons in which he denied that he refused Mir. Rosson the privilege of seeing the books. The Mayor says:
 T told him that auditors had already been engaged to check the period pre- vious to March 20. 1906. (The date when the present administration took office) and as soon as they got through he could check all he desired, tal- so. that in view of his statement at tributed to him In the public press of Montgomery and this city that he could purchase automobiles with DOT tion of the shortage he coulc discover if allowed to go into the previous city clerks period. I did not consider it proper for him to prejudice any man and undertake the work with that bias of mind which such sentiments repre- resented He replied that the papers had not quoted him correctly"
 The Mayor further states that he told Mir. Rosson that he could exam fine the books when Bruce and Lyons started the work which was to be on. Monday morning, He also says that Mir. Rosson was to have met him this afternoon in the office of the Mayor but that he did not come. Mir.
