the season for paying ones taxes witht
out the penalty attaching and fully
$40. 900 was taken in by Treasurer John

Monday to open them and make out the
receipts
Treasurer Riessbeck says that the
taxes are more closely paid up this
year than for long time. There is not
more than $40, 600 outstanding. Over
800 more receipts had been issued Mon.
day than at the same time last yea

SWAMP VISITORS
Company X Basketball Team
Gives Fort Lincoln a Fearful
Drubbing. Dickinson Boys
Play All Around Star Game.

At the basket ball game in the amory
last week Friday evening. Fort Lincoln
was so badly showed under by Co. X,
that there was just about enough left
of the visitors to tell the tale. 1t was
walk over for the Dickinson team and
they played circles around their oppo-
nents to the tune of S. to 10.
When. the visitors made their appear
ance on the floor they locked like a husky
bunch and while the fans pinned their
faith on Dickinson, no such runaway
was anticipated. Fort Lincoln was
clearly ''off color" or else they don't
know how to play basket ball. At no
time were they in the game, and the
ball was in Co. X s possession practically
all of the evening. The Dickinson boys
had things all their own way and played
some great basket ball. In team work,
they made many spectacular plays and
every man was in fine form and gave a
splendid exhibition of the game. Baird's
work stood out clearly as the feature of
the evening, He was probably in the
best form he has been this winter and
even his friends were surprised at some
Of his plays. Birch was the star man
in point making and played the best
game he has put up on the home floor.
Campbell, Schorsch and Kunz also did
good work.
Between the halves the Blues and the
Blacks had another battle royal but it
was an off night with the Blues. They
had hard luck and landed on 13. The
Blacks said ''23" to the little fellows
and they gracefully retired with % to 13
| as TIE final score. The Blues played a
good game and hung on until the last
minute but they were unlucky in basket
shooting.
The large boys played better ball than
they have been putting up and their
baskets were easily made. Fortune
smiled on them and made the score
lead the largest either team has had
over the other this season.

Dr.. Stickney Honored

A state organization to be known
as the North Dakota Anti tuberculosis
association was formed at Bismarck laet
week and Dr.. v. H. Stickney of this
city was made one of the vice presi-
dents. The object of the society is to
take up the fight against this dread dis
ease. in common with general move
went all over this country. Regular
meetings will be held every two years
at Bismarck when the legislature is in
session.
Local organizations will:be encouraged
in every city and town in the state and
it is hoped that such a battle will be
waged as to LARGELY reduce the number
of deaths from this terrible disease.
The legislature has appropriated $780,
600 for the erection of a state sani-
tarium in the Turtle Lake mountains.
The tuberculosis fight is one that is
occupying the attention of people all
over this country.
No movement is at the present time
more deeply stirring the ranks of organ
lied labor throughout the United States
than the campaign against tubercu-
losis. Politics, strikes boycotts and
all other issues are being side-tracked
to make way for the fsht which is to
save the lives Of thousands Of laborina
men. Meetings are being held and
movements started in hundreds Of cities
for the purpose of stimulating the labor
forces to activity in anti-tubercllosis
work.

EIopement caae Settled

After evadin9 the tolls of the law for
over two months Joseph Schuber, for
whom warrant was issued last Decem-
Der on a charge Of kidnapping Caroline
Hatzenbueler, IA year-old Richardton
girl, was finally arrested this week. A
hearing on the case was set for March
is, but the matter was settled out of
court yesterday satisfactory to both
sides. ~
Schuber and the girl eloped from
Richardton December IA, coming to
Dickinson with the intention of getting
married and going to South Dakota. The
girl was still in school at the time.
Schuber had been courting two of the
Hatzenbueler girls, including an Older
sister and 1t is claimed that he had
proposed an elopement to her also. But
it was the younger girl whom he tool
with him. They had not been gone lonl
when the elopement was discovered and
the girls father and Adam Mischief,
her godfather, were soon hot on theil
trail, arriving in Dickinson in time to
take her back home with them.
The irrate parent, Martin Hatzen-
bueller. few days later swore out q
warrant Tor the young mans arrest, bu'
when the authorities went to serve the
warrant he had flew the COOP and
no one knew his Whereabouts.

houses and lots was submitted to the
council and was adopted. The plan is
the same as Mr.. Veigel suggested several
weeks ago and as appeared in the PRESS
at that time.
A permit was granted to C. H. Wiley
to use part, not exceeding one half
of the width, or obstructina the gutter.
of the street near Soules & Butler s
lumber yard to place material while con-
structine building in that block.
S. l. Carroll presented an affidavit to
the effect that at the time Of assessment
for 1908 he did not own over So, 600
worth of personal property but was as
sessed for $4. 260. He asked the council
to recommend that the one third valu-
alton be reduced by the county commits
sioners from. 81. 420 to 81, 900. The
council voted in favor of the recommend
alton.
The question of more lights for the
crossing east of the electric light plant
and round house was again taken up.
This matter has been attended to several
times. Incandescent lamps. have been
placed in the most appropriate places
but it has been impossible for the
electric light company or N. P. employees
to replace new lamps as fast as the
South Dickinson boys, with the help
of some from this side, maliciously
broke them. The matter was referred
to the light committee. with ALI White
as a special member. to present the
matter to Supt. B. o. johnson. When
the lights are again in running order
some special police work will be done
and any person caught in the act of
breaking the lamps will be severely
dealt with.
ENOUGH POLICE
A row on the South Side Wednesday
morning was. sufficient cause for a
complaint from that quarter and q
verbal petition for another policeman.
The idea of more policemen and more
salaries was met with decided disap-
proval, but Mayor Frye stated that he
would instruct the present force to give
that part of the city special attention
and make arrests whenever any person
was found disturbing the peace or max
ing any kind of trouble.
Some of the residents from the eastern
part of the fourth ward reported that
it was impossible to send their children
to school the past week on account OF
the high water in that neighborhood and
asked that bridge be put in to ac-
commodate the residents in that par,
of Messersmith & Simpsons addition.
The city engineer and street commits
sioner will have charge of the work Of
putting in small bridge or culvert. 81
The report of City Treasurer j. S.
White, for the month ending February
%, was read and adopted: Receipts
taxes $793.45: w. r Veigel, sewe1
collections $42; Stark county,. sewer

CITY CHANGES
More Aldermen and Wards Want
ed-South Siders Make Plea at
Council Meeting for Police
man and More Lights.

The regular meeting Of the city council
was held in the city hall Wednesday
evening when several important matters
were considered and acted upon. After
adopting the report of the last regular
meeting and auditing the bills for the
past month some little time was taken
up, in the matter of redishictine the
city, making six wards instead of -four.
which will necessitate increasing the
number of aldermen from eight to
twelve. The city engineer submitted
areport on how the houses and lots
should be numbered. and several
petitions from citizens were granted.
while the matter of more policemen met
with much disapproval.
TWELVE ALDERMEN
!. Frank Wanner and others from South
Dickinson attended the meeting and
asked to have, the city redistficted. in
order to create a ward for South Dick
inson to give the legal voters south of
the track representation in the city
council. According to the state law
city with population of 1000 and
not exceeding. 10000, must have IL
aldermen. The last official census gave
Dickinson population of over 5000 and
the present council could do nothing
but make arrangements for the increase
which will take effect after the city
election next month.
SIX WARDS u
The Aldermen instructed MIR. Wannes
to- present his petition in accordance
with the plan Of; the: :redistrictine. which
is as follows: North of the track the
wards will start at the railroad track
and run north to the north boundary Of

WITHIN THE TOWN.
But Just look at the streets!

- But just look at the streets!
- Business Is picking up some after
the holiday lull.
- There is to be a public celebration
of Lees birthday In the Graded School
auditorium tonight under the auspices
of the Winnie Davis Chapter u. d. G.
The programme Is to include an ad-
dress hy Mayor Hart, the reading OF
a prize essay on the Causes OF the
Civil War" vocal and instrumental
music and other interesting features.
In spite of the weather, the off sea-
son and the alleged scarcity OF cash,
the Thomson company's white goods
sale has been drawing numerous GUS
toners from the town and the country
surrounding. 1t rained all day last
Saturday, and ordinarily on such a day
there would have hardly been dozen
customers in the store. AS 1t was,
however, the entire sales force was
busy during mcst Of the day Business
was still better yesterday and the at
traction continues unabated.
- Immediately upon the acceptance
of the sewerage system from the con-
tractors by the commissioners OF pub
lie works last week, Plumber RaWis
began work making connections with
pipes he had laid from various houses
to the curbing. He had several JOBS
under way at the same time. The
rain came upon him after he had ex-
cavated down to the sewer, however,
and gave him lot Of trouble. An ex-
cavation some seven or eight feet
deep in front of the Shandon hotel,
was entirely filled with water Friday
night, and it looked as If there was to
be a big job Of pumping; but by yes
terday morning the water had DRAIN
ed away and work was resumed. The
Shandon, by the way, has first class
system of water closets and baths,
costing about $1,000, and the connec-
tions with the sewer are now being
com pleted.

be sold for use in the arts, wine TO be
sold for sacramental purposes, and
whisky to be sold for medicinal pur-
poses. The bill is patterned after the
Alabama law on the same subject and
Is very drastic in it's provisions. The
understanding seems to be that the
alignment for and against statewide
prohibition Is made up Of the former
state dispensary advocates and most
Of the Prohibitionists on one side and
the local optionists and some Of the
ProhibitiOnists on the other. Among
the Prohibitionists are some who do
rot believe that a state wide prohibi-
ton law Is the best way to get at the
curtailment of the liquor traffic. They
insist that prohibition cannot be en-
forced except where it Is upheld by
the majority sentiment, and in COM
munities where the majority OF the
people favor the liquor traffic, prohibit
ton will be a farce. The straight-Out
Prohibitionists are absolutely opposed
to any effort to tempOrize with the IL
quor business and are disposed to in
sist on statewide prohibition, whether
prohibition prohibits or not. The for
mer state dispensaryites have turned
to prohibition mainly as the quickest st
way Of regaining the political prestige
they lost with the destruction OF the
state dispensary.
Up to the present time, there has
been nothing in the way Of a test vote
that Is calculated to give an idea Of
the relative strength Of the two
alignments, and as to how the battle
will probably go Is a matter for future
developments.
A concurrent resolution was adopted
on Friday, calling upon all farmer
members Of the house and senate to
meet with the Farmers Union in the
speakers room tomorrow for the pur-
pose of considering Legislation that
seems to be especially demanded by
the agricultural interests Of the state.

The SPECULATIVE MARKET.

Following is the record of develop
ments in the speculative market yes
terday as summarized in an Associat-
ed Press dispatch of last night from
New York:
The cotton market made another set
Of new high records today with busi-
ness still more active and the close
very steady at a net advance Of 10 to
Is points. Sales were estimated at
375,000 bales
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance of 3 TO 8 points in response to
firm cables, talk of a bullish census
report at the end Of the week and over
night buying orders. During the ear
ly session there was some irregularity
and prices eased off to within a point
or two of Saturdays finals under heavy
realizing, but the leading spot interests
were active buyers on the set back and
offerings were so we'll absorbed that
early sellers became uneasy, particu-
larly after the publication Of an eSti-
mate by q local authority placing the
amount Of cotton ginned between jan
uary lst and 18th at only 10000 bales.
Another private estimate made the
amount ginned during the period $780,
900 bales. but seemed To have less in
Huence than the smaller figures, and
the market ruled very firm In the af-
.ernorn when the advance was evil
1ently encouraged by reports of high
~ interior markets.
The active months at one tim" V
about 13 to 19 points net higher and
the market closed only 3 to 5 points off
