BOYS HEAVILY FINED.
Justice Wade Teaches Quintette of
Local UnruIies Severe Les

Five boys, two Of them from Fargo,
were before Justice Wade. yesterday
afternoon, charged with disorderly
conduct and raising a general dis
turbance at the merry -go-round in
The leader of the gang may have to
defend a much more serious offense
A special policeman who was on the
scene and tried to stop the boys in
the progress of their rufflanism lost
his club in the mixup After arrest
the boys became very impertinent and
squirmed at being locked up with
herd of common DRINKS. The lads
were closely questioned by the court
and the seriousness OF their position
plainly explained and that they were
the only disturbers of the peace
despite the fact that all of them came
from respectable families in both cities.
One of the boys, under oath, gave a
false name and otherwise committed
perjury and justice Wade says he has
about decided to make q formal COM
plant against him for that offense.
The courts sentence was that each
defendant pay fine Of SIS or in de-
fault to be remanded to the county
Jail for term of ninety days. The
court added that such behavior as
the boys had been proven guilty of
will not be tolerated in the city of
Moorhead and he was not sure but that
he ought to have gone the limit, and
the fathers of the boys from Fargo will
have to see him before their sons are
released.
Owing to the earnest supplications
OF at least three mothers and sisters
the right names of the defendants
have not been divulged by the police
In one instance a working sis
ter. excessively sensitive over the pos
sible diGgrace, will have to wipe out
her bank savings to keep her brother
out of jail-the way that particular
lad acted last night, showed he was
not concerned one bit how the mat
ter went

w. H. Snyder, traveller for the Bur-
lington route was in the city this
morning and left for the west
L. P. Gellerman, district passenger
agent of the Northern Pacific road,
was a business visitor to the city
yesterday and he and Mr.. Snyder Of
the Burlington, snapped stories in the
N. P. depot this morning before they
took the train west.
w. E. Bachley of Winnipeg, repre-
senting the Pennsylvania lines in the
northwest, was a caller at the different
depots in this city today.
Agent Degnan says that notwith-
standing the bad crop reports his
line is still doing business and better
still, that is 1t increasing all the
time.
The work on the big extension Of
the Great Northern r. r. is being
pushed forward as rapidly as possible.
There isn't much of a sign of re-
trenchment with the Great Northern
just now. This road intends to be
able to take care of an immense
amount of business this fall

One young girl who has tree full
of rich, red fruit keeps the hose con-
stantly on the faucet and shoots all the
small marauders who haunt the
tempting tree. She claims that she
cools their blood and dampens their
ardor for fruit, and perhaps she is
right. At least the small boys dread
her uncompromising attitude and
scamper wildly and shriekingly as she
approaches.
AS other fruits appear the small ur-
chin unblushingly takes his toll.
Have you ever listened to men tell.
with chuckles of unholy JOY, how they
stripped melon patches and fruit trees
in the halcyon days of youth? They
rather thought the boy who declined to
take part in their marauding trips a
mollycoddle, afraid of taking risks.
And usually those are honest men
and good ones, too. They would not
have boy steal or lie, or do any Of
the things forbidden by upright and
honorable manhood. 1t is only that
they have peculiar code OF honor.
1t is dishonest to take a mans
money-it is not dishonest to wrench
his gate off the hinges on Halloween
or New Years eve.
1t is dishonest to lie-it is not dis
honest to sneak into a mans garden
and strip his vines or fruit trees.
1t is dishonest to take a mans BIZ
cycle-it is not dishonest to take his
melons.
Even a handkerchief would not be
taken from clothes line by the boy
who would take all the ripe fruit he
could carry, and at the same time
break branches and ruin trees.
Is not that queer idea of morality?
And why do men wink at it and re-
membering their own days. chuckle
enjoyingly at the story Of dare devil
adventure
The youthful thief-for that is what
he is-will think he has done deed
Of daring and plume himself accord
ingly.
Now, / am not saying that all fruit
and melon thieves trun out badly--far
from 1t The real human creature is
rather apt to surmount all the hills OF
difficulty we place In his path, and
come out decent, law abiding citizen
But I do think that we should teach
boys, as well as girls, that honesty
is honesty, and there is no compromise
with the good old fashioned word.
I believe the man who steals rail-
roads and the man who steals bread
are both thieves. If / leaned on the
side Of mercy 1t would be for the man

John Sponsel: The Fargo morning
paper says that the ice was not burned
in the N. P. ice house at Dilworth
which was destroyed by fire a couple
of days ago-isn't that funny?
The pile drivers have finished their
work on First avenue north and the
machine was withdrawn shortly before
noon today. A large force of men and
teams is now grading the section be-
yond the part of the street which is
macadamized, preparing the roadway
for the concrete base for the creosote
blocks. The job will be nearly, if not
quite completed by Saturday night.
The fire department was called to
the site of the fireworks display made
on the Fourth to extinguish a pile Of
rubbish which had become ignited,
near the Great Northern passenger de-
pot, and was growing to a blaze of
rather serious proportions. The de-
partment was called out last night for
a similar purpose, burning refuse near
the slaughter house. Box II was pull
ed and some people mistook it for
the Columbia hotel, No. 4, and some
undue excitement was the result.
Sheriff Whaley said today that there
was good wetting shower at Hawley
and south of there last night and that
his farm near Hitterdahl caught some
of it in good shape, the first precipi-
tation since April.
Some splendid samples of wheat
were displayed in the Moorhead Ma
tional bank, today. from the BROMIDE
muhl and Carlson farms and there
was also some fine Bromus from the
Bodkin farm.

mental that surveying operations are
being actively commenced in the vici-

wards commencing building operations
on the Midland in the south to connect

The complete survey in this section

Light VOTE IN
BOND ELECTION
VOTE DOES NOT MEAN
THAT ISSUE is IN DANGER ON
THAT ACCOUNT, HOWEVER, AS
1T ONLY REQUIRES A MAJORITY
OF VOTE CAST TO CARRY.

The vote on the city bond election
today is exceedingly light. In COM
parison to the vote on the recent pri-
mary election, which was lighter than
the vote cast in 1908, it hardly amounts
to one-third the total vote cast week
ago.
In some wards the falling off in the
vote cast was especially noticeable. At
l o'clock in the first precinct of the
Fourth ward the vote registered 80,
while the vote of that precinct at 1
o'clock last Wednesday was 119, and a
total of 324 two years ago.
The light vote does not imply that
the bond election for the new munich
pal water and filtration plants will
fail to carry, as the carrying of the
election does not depend on the per-
centage of the vote of the city, but
rests alone upon the voice of the ma
jority of votes cast in the election.
If a majority of those votes cast to-
day favor the issuance of the new
bonds for the proposed plants, there
will be no further controversy over the
matter.

Celebrates Fourth.

Mapleton, N. D.. July 5.-To The
Forum: AT the farm home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Woman a large crowd
gathered, where a most delightful
Fourth was spent. AS the noon hour
drew near the women and girls pre-
pared a grand dinner to which every
one did full justice. After dinner,
which lasted about two hours, the
young people played games and also
shot fire crackers, the supply of which
seemed almost inexhaustibIe. The
older people enjoyed themselves in
various ways, some indoors and out.
AS no Fourth seems complete without
lemonade, OF course great deal was
consumed.
About 6 o'clock dainty luncheon
was served and best of all water
melon feed was INDUCED in. Just before
the picnic ended few patriotic songs
were sung in honor of the day.
The friends and neighbors of Mr..
and Mrs. NORMAN consider them most
royal entertainers and all wished the
Fourth could have lasted forever.

Jeffries-that they have come back"
They still believe they have one good
game left and want to try themselves
out.
There is no doubt but such a game
would draw a huge crowd as there
are a lot of fans who would like to
see the old timers in action. In ad-

there are Merrill, Merritt, Irish, Burt

Tells of Extension Work.

Neil Currie, right of-way man Of

terday evening for a short time on his
way from the west to st. Paul. He
has been doing a good deal of work
out in the western part of this state,
and in Montana and says that the
crops are just middling, but that is
all bosh to say that everything is
killed. The Northern Pacific has been
doing a good deal Of work, extending
lines in the far west, but a great deal
of it has been stopped just at pres
ent, this being done under the re-
trenchment idea of the company. He
was on his way to ST Paul for a
stay of few days when he will likely
be sent back to the west.

The panel effect. which is one Of the
dominant styles in ladies' dresses, has
found its way into the frock of the
younger ladies. Those who are just
growing up generally have in their fash
ions hint of the styles which prevail
among the older generation, and when
any style seems particularly appropriate
to them it speedily makes it's appear
ance in each seasons novelties. The
dress herewith illustrated shows a
very pretty adaptation of the panel
effect. The neck is cut square and out
lined by band of trimming in contrast
to the dress material. The skirt of the
dress reaches from the panel in front all
around to the center back, and may be
either gathered or plated. The sleeve
Is somewhat fun at the shoulder and Is
held at the wrist by cuff. A dress of
this kind will be handsome in pongee or
linen, and will also develop prettily in
the less expensive mercerized cottons
and in Bingham and the like. The pat
tern is in sizes, to II years. To make
the dress in the Swear size will require
s12 yards of material sc inches wide.
