CATION RECEIVES INQUIRIES
FROM ALL CORNERS OF GLOBE

There is every indication that the
best attractions which ever showed in

expected that several troupes from
abroad which will make their first
visit to America this season. will be
featured in the amusement depart

there will be no lack of variety to
choose from. This morning letters
were received from a troupe at Paris,
while still another from the other di-
rection-Tokio, made application to
get in on the ground floor in making
their trip to New York to play the

.SPOOKS HAUNT The
FEDERAL BUILDING
CLAIMED THAT THE ATTIC or
THE PLACE IS INHABITED BY
SPIRITS THAT ARE IN EVIL
DENcE AFTER 10 O'CLOCK AT
NIGHT.

The federal building is haunted.
This announcement was made yester-
day, and 1t is stated the assertion can
be verified by half dozen attaches OF
Uncle Sans home in Fargo. There is
not the least doubt in their minds but
that spooks abide in the attic of the
place.
1t is believed that probably no one
would ever have made the discovery
but for the fact that a visit was paid
to the place one night after 10 o'clock.
There was moaning and groaning on
the fourth floor which started the cold
chills and 1t was not until the person
In question slid down several bannis-
ters, made flying trip through the
postoffice lobby, and dashed out into
the street, that he breathed a full
breath and dared to look back over his
shoulder to see IL there was really
someone after him.
Since that time there have been more
evidences OF the habitation OF the gov
ernment building, 1t is said, the spirits
getting SO bold as to be heard by MEM
bers of the marshars office.
1t was stated yesterday that an in
vestigating committee was to be ap-
pointed, named from employees of the
various offices, and that wake would
be pulled off some night this week
when the matter would be fully inves-
tlgated and some effort made to work
a remedy.
The committee nominated yesterday
consisted of al Mckay, Matt Hammis,
Doc Locke and several others.

CITY CAN BOND
FOR Big SLOUGH
SUGGESTED THAT If FARGO
DON'T WANT TO PAY $4,000 IN
ONE LUMP THAT BOND ISSUE
WILL AVOID THIS WITHOUT
coUNTY's CONSENT.

According to the statement Sf Coun-
ty Auditor A. G. Lewis, there Is moth
ing to hinder the city of FaREo from
issuing bonds for the payment of it's
share Of the cost of Big Slough Drain
No. 8. According to the assI!ssment,
the city pays over 70 per ceRi of the
construction cost of this waterway,
amounting in all to over $1S,OOlL
The matter was brought bdtore the
county commissioners recently on rec
ommendation of the drainage board,
and the bonding proposition was turn
ed down for the second time. With 70
per cent of the cost taxed against the
general fund of the city of Fargo,
there is very little left to be assessed
directly against the land. What there
is amounts to about 36 cents a lot.
The commissioners felt that there was
no one unable to pay this amount in
one payment. 1t is held that If the
city desires bond issue that the mat
ter can be brought up before the coun-
ell. without interesting the county at
large.

THE BEST AFLOAT
 THE BIG DELAWARE
THE LAUNCHING OF THE BAT
 TIEsHIP YESTERDAY.
Her Armament Will Be Superior to That of Any Other Fighting Ma chine.

Newport News, Feb. 6.-The great battleship Delaware was successfully launched from the yards of the New port News Ship Building and Dry Dock company. The launching was witnessed by 5000 people.
 The Delaware is one of four sister ships authorized by congress, which will form an indomitable squadron. The other vessels are the North Da- kota, being built at Quincy. Mass; the Florida, which will be built at the New York navy yard, and the Utah, to be built at Camden, N. J.
 The Delaware is to carry a heavy ar1nor and as powerful armament as any known vessel of its class. It will have a speed of twenty-one knots and will have the highest practicable range of action. The arrangement of the main battery guns will permit a broadside of 25 per cent greater than the broadside of any other battleship now built, or so far as is known, un- der construction. Her defensive qual- ities, other than those dependent upon armor protection, are such as to give the maximum degree of protection to all vital portions.
 The contract for the Delaware was placed on August 6, 1907, at sS,9S7,OO0 Her keel was laid November II, 1907. The Delaware is 510 feet in lngth in load water line and S5 feet ? inches in breadth. The mean draft to the bottom of the keel is 27 feet Her coal bunker capacity is 2,500 tons, which is sufficient to send her at a ten-knot speed a distance of 6,12O knots, or twenty-eight days steaming. Provision is also made for the stow 'age of a large amount of fuel oil without in any way reducting the ca pacity of her coal bunkers. She will have triple expansion reciprocating engines and will require over 900 men to man her
