final reading, the most important be-
ing the measure providing for the APP
preparation of $25O,OOO to the Peabody

introduced by Mr. Holiday prescrib-
ing the qualifications for jury service
in Tennessee. The latter measure pre-
cipitated an interesting but brief des-
bate. Mr.. Cox Offering an amendment
which, in the opinion of the friends OF
the original bill DESTROYED the effect
intended by the author. The bill as
drawn by Mr. Holiday declares that
the reading of the evidence of wit
nesses in newspapers shall not be per
Sc a disqualification for jury service,
provided the juror swears he can go
in the box and decide a case strictly
on the evidence, and set aside any
opinion he may have formed A juror
shall be disqualified, however. if he
has talked with one of the witnesses.
Mr.. Coxs amendment sought to make
the reading Of evidence in the news
papers a disqualification, but after
some debate this amendment was
-abled and the bill passed

WIND-UP Of THE GREAT BATTLE
Of BALLOTS

corded and their choice was found
among the lower ones. Thus it went
throughout the whole contest. first
one and then another forging ahead.
But 1t was just as the manager of
the contest expected-the reserve Of
the various candidates played the most
important part, and was the deciding
factor in determining the winers. -
Everybody Satisfied.
That there should b. 10 disappoint-
ment, and that the efforts of the will
ing workers should not go unreward-
ed, even though their candidates did
not win the grand prize, the officials
Of the contest divided the territory in
to two districts and offered prizes for
the most popular lady of each. This
increased the interest in the contest
and resulted in satisfaction for every
body, which was the chief desire of
The Forum.
Slowly at first the votes began to
come In, then increased gradually for
a while, until when the workers got
thoroughly warmed up they rolled in
in such numbers that the totals soon
amounted to enormous figures The
friends OF the contestants desired to
see them win, and insisted on making
the fact. public by voting for them
and getting their friends to do like
wise, and the smallest boy or girl was
just as powerful as his elders in boost
ing his favorite candidate. More than
one man stole an hour or two from
mis- office at intervals during the con-
test to make a personal canvass for
some friend, and many dinner dish
was left unwashed while the women
of the household went calling and in
cfdently looking for votes.
Winners Feel Proud.
The winners may we'll feel proud of
the fact that they have run one race
in thousand and have come out
with the deserving honor of having
out-run and out classed workers who
have themselves done exceedingly well
and would, under ordinary conditions,
have had enough votes to win.
The honor attached to winning is
considered by some of the candidates
as being worth many times the value
Of the prize itself. Friends OF the

fail to do good. The enthusiasm and
energy which is developed is not lost
but reacts on ones character, putting
iron into the nerve, encouraging ones
confidence, stimulating courage and
rousing an honest belief in ones abil-
ity to undertake and carry to success
any task which presents itself. In
addition to that business experience
that she would obtain in no other
way.
The Benefit Of the Contest.
Every candidate, whether she cares
to fight the battle of ballots or not,
Is better able to fight the battle of
daily existence today than she was
when she entered the contest. Though
she may feel the Disappointment keen
~. she must realize that facing the
world does not seem nearly so formid-
able proposition as it did a few
weeks ago. Those who are successful
are deserving of congratulations and
praise. They have striven hard. aAd
what they have achieved mas been
largely the result of untiring, unre-
hitting worry. Early and late for
nearly two months they have been
piling up the voting strength a few
votes at time until the ballots
amount high up in the thousands.
They will appreciate the prizes a thou
sand-fold more than they would If
they had been laid at their feet with
out any effort on their part. and are
better able 10 appreciate them at
something Of their own value.

Best of Feeling.
During the progress Of the entire
contest the best of feeling has pre-
vailed. and while today's list OF VIM
ners is quite lengthy, there are many
other deserving workers who were
not fortunate enough to have their
names on the final list, but through
their individual efforts have made such
record as TO deserve great praise.
To such the management extends it's
congratulations and thanks them FOR
their earnestness of purpose ana FOR
the work they have accomplished
Now at last, the contest has closed
and II is with pleasure the Anal
awards are made to the successful and
deserving candidates who have been
.cnosen by the public at large to be
given the different prizes.
Everybody Pleased.
The Forum congratulates the ladies'
one and all, hoping they will enjoy
the prizes they have gained to ths
fullest extent, and that they may b

IN RUGBY AFFAIR
BUSTED BANK AFFAIRS TO BE
AIRED IN COURT.

Devils Lake, N. d, March 80.
From all indications. there will be
considerable amount of legal matter
to be threshed out before anything in
detail can be determined toward a
settlement of the affairs OF the defunct
First National bank of this place. A
number OF cases have already been be-
gun in district court and from the APP
pearance OF some OF the papers In
these cases 1t seems that there are a
large number of people Connected with
the matter, signers of notes and so
forth. who would mucn prefer that
their names were not brought out into
the lime light, as they will undoubted-
ly be when the case comes up for hear
ing. Along with many others, The
Tribune hopes that this affair may be
Strengthened UP so that the depositors
may realize all or at least a greater
part of what is due them. but from all
indications, some time will be required
before the whole deal is cleaned up.

The successful contestants are.
named today as the result of the of
fetal count made by these disinter-
esting gentlemen, acting as judges,
and who have no motive in the con-
test other than to accept the invita-
ton of the management to make a.
thorough and complete canvass of the
votes. The mere mention of the names
of these gentlemen is assurance
enough OF their integrity. These gen.
tlemen are well known and highly es-
teemed by their business associates
and with all whom they come in con-
tact as thorough and honest business
men.
When the announcement of the
winners was made shortly after mid
night the names of the winners were
greeted with approval on all sides
The interest was intense all during
the count, and the best feeling pre-
vailed among all those present.
Bvery ballot voted was carefully
scrutinized by the judges and those
present expressed themselves as high
ly pleased with the maner of arriving
at the result
Big Vote Cast.
The aggregate vote cast in The
Forum contest is the biggest ever
polled in similar contest in the city,
If not in the whole middle west, and
ran high in the millions.
The conditions OF the contest were
SO easy that 1t proved attractive from
the start. and before d week had
passed, before the first announcement
OF votes, thousands OF men, women
and children in Fargo and the sur
rounding country had entered the
friendly rivalry, seeking votes for
their favorites Nip and tuck they
fought for two months each vote add
ing to the interest of the contest. At
no time from the casting OF the first
ballot was it possible to pick the win
ners. SO close was the battle. From
time to time many persons took a
guess at the possible winners, but the
opinion was hardly expressed before
another big batch of votes was re-

contestants have boosted them all
along the line, a nothing seemed
too hard for them sto do where a
subscription was gotten and the votes
given to the favorite.
There has been quite an army of
fair ladies who have made 1t their
special business during the past few
months to early and late exploit the
virtue OF the paper. In the city and
in all directions throughout the coun-
try there have been many contestants
ct all times during the day, afoot. on
wheels or on horseback hunting for
some one who looked as though he
did not take The Forum.
The contestants have all done splen-

did work. and some have been more
successful than others: but this is due
largely to the ability to hustle. pos
sessed by the winning candidates.
All Could Not Win.
1t is fact greatly to be deplored
that all could not win one of the
prizes. but this is impossible. and there
is sympathy in plenty for those who
have put in days and hours Of hard
labor and at the end failed to receive
a prize for which they have striven:
but even then. the work has not all
been wasted effort. The honest striv-
ing after success, even though the i'm
mediate object is not realized. cannot
