The ALASKA DOG TEAM
eli Smith lectures and Pictures Fa.
nous Trip in Aiaska at 5iIou
This Week.

Eli Smith and his famous dog team
from Alaska Is an attraction at the
Bitou this week that a nan may see
just once in life time. Smith is the
real thing and tells mors interesting
things about Alaska and the life of
the mail carrier, in his own rude way,
than you could learn m books in
years
Smiths lecture, pictures, teams
and outfit are an edue@ @tion that every
man, woman and child should see
the school board would do we'll in
recommending that the children go
and see and hear Smith.
This afternoon is the time to hear
this lecture as Smith is inexhaustible
and Manager Treat gives him more
time then.
A number Of Fargo people who have
been in Alaska and who made 1t q
point to meet and hear Smith find
him a gentleman of wide experience
and without doubt as well posted on
that far-away country as the average
citizen of Fargo is about his own
streets.
There are other -evsnts--the skit
by Vida and Hawley, is -eally new
and will make you laugh-clean,
clever and original. THE Bijou is
certainly delivering the goods this
week.

THE COMMISSION PLAN.

ThesBismarck Palladium is published
at the capital of the state-where the
commission system was recent1y adopt
ed. II was for the commission plar,
before It's adoption-and is not knock
ing It now. But the editor has evident
ly discovered there are some phases
OF the system which are not all that
are claimed for 1t. In a recent edi-
torial The Palladium says:
''The commission system" saws The
Minot Optic, requires the city to be
on . cash basis" suggesting infer
entialiy that the old system does not.
This insinuation is absolutely false.
as the old law is very strict in re-
quiring cash to be in the city treasury
before an expenditure can be made
and the new law does not insist on
this procedure any more emphatical-
ly than does the old. That many cit
les have deliberately eVaded the law
and been profiigate in their expendi-
lures can only be charged TO the
slipshod methods which will creep into
any organization wherein the officers
charged with It's conduct become care
less and Indifferent and perform their
duties in q perfunctory manner. and
II is quite likely that the same aroused
public spirit which seems to be findina
expression in the adoption of the com
mission system in some OF our cities
could-in some instances at any rate
have accomplished the same res,,Its
by insisting that the old laws be car.

contains ingredients that not only
give relief but that act on the stomach
so beneficial that In short time the

Calvin a Man of the World.

Calvin had many advantages. He was not a scholar merely, he was man of the world. He had travelled, was familiar with the life of courts, was on terms of intimate friendship with many of the most distinguished persons of his day. He had a con- manding intellect, literary style which was the envy and admiration of the learned He knew law as we'll as he did theology. French as we'll as he did Latin. His grasp of a wide range of subjects and his attention to detail were things to marvel at Add to these an inexhaustible patience and bulldog tenacity of purpose, a vivid human interest and an amazing ca pacity for work, and we begin to un- derstand how it was that this penni- less and sickly foreigner, who came to Geneva in the first instance so utter ly unknown and without prestige as to figure in the records merely as "a Frenchman," ended by setting his stamp so ineffacably upon the place that it remains there even to our own day.-Century.
