Mr., Darrin here tried to prove by ref

cut him off short.

INSTRUCTIONS MAY
BE ORDERED DOWN
BIKE RACKS, ILLEGAL SIGNS AND
THE LIKE MAY COME UNDER
THE OFFICIAL BAN or THE
ADMINISTRATION, BEING CON-
TRARY TO ORDINANCE.

II you are going to put up a street
sign see that 1t complies with the city
ordinances. This is the advice that is
given by the city administration. The
matter came up before City Atty. w.
c. Resser this morning when inquiry
was made by a business man who is
about to put up a new sign. The city
ordinance was read and explained.
Signs erected at the outer edge of
the walk are directly contrary to law.
All signs must be hung from the
buildings and mus be not lower than
eight feet from the sidewalk.
That there are scores of signs that
no not comply with the ordinance is
admitted. The matter came up be-
fore the city officials a few days ago
and it is possible that an order will
be issued in a short time.
There are several bicycle racks and
large signs erected from the curb:
The walks on Broadway and the busi-
ness districts in general are recog-
nized as hardly wide enough for heavy
traffic and every obstruction means
considerable Inconvenience.

sep PARATOR SHOW
DESPITE TRUST
GASOLINE ENGINE MANuFAc-
TuRERs WILL HAVE DISPLAY
AT THE INTERsTATE FAIR
FEW INDEPENDENT coMPAN-
les WILL ALSO BE THERE.

Despite the fact that threshing rig
manufacturers entered into gentle
mans agreement to make no more
displays at expositions anywhere in
the country. there will be a display
Of separators at the Interstate fair.
That fact was made known yesterday
and brought joy to the hearts OF the
fair promoters
The manufacturers of gasoline en-
gines have secured space on the fair
grounds and will display separators at
their own expense. This is done so
that they can show the workings of
their engines. On account of the fact
that the steam engine men Will not
be present with exhibits, the display
promises to attract no little attention
and will doubtless prove a feature
for the men who have taken the initia-
tive.
Independent companies, outside of
the trust will also make displays of
their lines bringing the whole exhibit
up in good shape.

HORSE PARADE
OPENING FEATURE
PROPOSED TO MAKE THE FIRsT.
RACE MEETING OF THE SEA
SON A NOTABLE EvENT-cAN-
DlDATEs FOR RECORD CRACK
ERs TO GO THROUGH TOWN.

A movement was started today to
make the opening of the 1909 racing
season in North Dakota notable event
and If present plans are carried out
Fargoans will be able to get a peep
at the would-be record breakers in the
p-town district before the races
start.
1t is proposed to hold horse parade
in the morning, probably between the
hours of 10 and IL o'clock. On account
of the fact that the racing season opens
here June J. together with the fact that
the Fargo track has been made the
training headquarters for scores OF
horses this spring, 1t is considered ap-
propriate that there be some ceremony
for the opening. The show that would
be made by hundred race horses or
more in parade would be stunning and
would doubtless prove a winner.

GIVEN The REST CURE
Judge Ryan Scores Man With Family
Who Fails to Contribute
to Support.

NJ. L. Nelson, charged with drunken
ness and non-supoprt, was arraigned
this morning before Judge Martin
Ryan in police court. According to
reports furnished by the police the man
is a carpenter, but all the money that
he gets goes into a personal fund
which he has created, in spite of the
fact that he has wife and two chill
dren.
1t appears that his wife keeps the
house by taking boarders, while both
children work. Nelson became almost
sassy He figured that he did not have
to support his family, and declared
that If he was sentenced to jail he
would leave the city as soon as re-
leased.
This sort OF a proposition did not
apepal to the court to any extent, and
after scoring the defendant soundly. a
sentence of ten days was passed.

The Twin City Daily Telegram Is Pub
 ished at New Decatur.

Decatur, February Especial. )-The first issue of the Twin City Daily Tele- gram made it's appearance on the streets Sunday morning. The issue of the paper was much delayed o1 account of the failure of the management to receive their machinery promptly.
 The office of the paper is in New De- catur It will be printed every afternoon except Sunday. It is a seven column publication and the first number contained six pages. Hearst's news service is used
 The editor of the paper is William T. Brown, late of the Cullman Tribune. The president of the company is A. F. Hew- lett and the business manager is J. w. Hewlett, both formerly with the Culman Tribune also.
 In their salutatory announcement they say for the present the paper will give but little space to the subject of poli- tics, but that in the future, when the time comes, the editorial policy of the paper will be democratic.
 The new publication is the successor of the Twin City Herald, a suspended after noon newspaper of New Decatur, which was published for some time by Postmas- ter w. A. Warner.

WIND AND RAIN
 DO GREAT DAMAGE Many Houses Are Blown to
 Pieces NUMBER OF PEOPLE HURT The Southern University Building at Greensboro Is Damaged About $5oo A Heavy Rainfall Is Re-
 ported Over State.

Montgomery, February 15.-(Special.) dollars worth of damage blew over the county Sunday night, destroying much property and injuring a number of negroes on the places of J. D. and A. D. Brooks eight miles from the city. A house occupied by Jim Tate, a negro. was torn from it's pillars and moved 10 feet away, the roof and sides coming in with a crash. Tate. his wife and two children were badly hurt.
 The wind came on about II o'clock, sweeping down over a large track of country. A big barn and four houses on the place of J. D. Brooks were torn down, and a number of outhouses wrecked. On the adjoining plantation of A. D. Brooks there was a like de- struction, though not so extensive as in the first case. A great body of timber was destroyed and several small houses destroyed in other parts of that im- mediate territory. A great many cows and other stock were injured.
 The Alabama river is rising rapidly and 1t is feared 1t will overflow. Sew eral of the low places are already be- ginning to be flooded. It is feared that in many fields where early crops are coming along there will be trouble. The rains have been very heavy, running over an inch for the 24 hours before o'clock. Small streams are flooded anyway by the rains of the past few days
