more steam yet is wanted. While Ran

his work by steam power can accomplish
much for the betterment OF existing con
ditions. The people need to near the Cos

Rev. Mr.. Dawson, upon being intro
duced, referred to the Iateness OF the hour
and also to a recent gathering at which be
was expected to speak. When his turn
came long past o'clock and be arose to
make his address, he caught the eye OF a
small boy downin front and asked, "What
shall 1 say ?'' ''Say amen" was the
sleepy reply. Before saying amen, how
ever, Mr.. DAWSON told OF Mr.. Chesbro's
very successful passionate at South Paris,
Me-, the last five years, OF the high regard
in which he was held both by his congre-
cation and the community generally, and
the universal regret at his determination
to accept the call to Randolph. He urged
the people to pray for their pastor, praise
him up and pay him up-three alliterative
essentials to satisfactory parish work. The
financial part of the undertaking could be
safely left to the strong committee OF the
Federation and he trusted that the pastor
would not lack the earnest prayers OF his
congregation. He impressed upon the
people then the excellent plan of avoid
ing severe or thoughtless criticism of
the pastor. Much of the deplorable indif-
ference OF the young to the church and its
work today can be traced to harsh and
unkiDd references to the pastor made by
parents in the presence of their children.
Praise your pastor, show your respect for
him and his calling and train your chill
dren to reverence the man of God.

D. M. Brown. the independent can

Falls at the election yesterday by 4
large plurality, there being three can
didates.
There was also a vote on '1icenses
and mo license" and a telephone mes
sage says that the city went as dry as
a board. This decision on the part OF
the voters means that the local brew
cry Is put out Of business and the local
beer houses will be prohibited from
selling liquor in any quantity as they
are effected by the vote to the same
extent as are the ordinary saloons.
Beer or whiskey can be purchased at
outside points and shipped into these
ordering 1t, but no sales, either whole
sale or retail can be made in the city
of Fergus Falls.
There was also vote on telephone
franchise, but the matter was not de-
cided sufficiently and the Northwest

Of a franchise covering tho city of

SUES FOR BALANCE
OF $1,000 WARRANT
HoWELLs SUES FARGO TOWN
SHIP FOR 1915 WHICH is THE
REMAINDER OF THE PROCEEDS
OF A SALE OF WARRANTS
WHICH PROVED TO BE ILLEGAL.

Civil action has been brought
against Fargo township by VIM. How
ellis, for the purpose OF recovering 1915
which is held in the treasury Of that
municipality as the remainder of the
proceeds received for the sale of a
warrant for $1,000 which Howells pur-
chased.
In 1907 improvements were started
in Fargo township under the provis-
ions of law passed by the legisla-
ture of that year. Sewer, water and
paving was suggested for Broadway
and other streets. To this a large
number of tax payers of that section
objected. However, a warrant for
$1,000 was sold to Howells and work
was started.
An injunction was secured and the
case carried to the supreme court by
Judge Engerud for the plaintiffs and
Atty. w. C. Resser for the township.
The law was declared to be unconstitu-
tional and the works was stopped.
However, all but 1915 of the money had
been expended. which the treasurer
has since refused to turn over to Mr..
Howells, for whom II was purchased
through James Holes, for whom How
ellis worked.

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Mnaknaas continue.

Minneapolis, Mimi, April 6.--Chtca-
70 did not hold up and the weakness
that developed in the northwest mark
cts Tuesday was continued today. "A
wave of spring liquidation hit the en-
tire list. The pastures are green and
sentiment is strongly disposed In fa-
vor of a lower level. Under these con-
ditions the market can not recover
right away since all rallies will meet
selling pressure. but the turn IN a
technical recovery should be around
this level. The market has passed
through worse declines than the pres
emf and recovered all lost ground. A
big short interest is in the making
which has an uncertain crop situation
to reckon with for the next three
months already seriously impaired by
winter killing. We do not consider IT
wise to follow this break with short
sales because the market will react
fast when it gets started. We still be-
lieve that the southwest situation gives
the September future strong position
and higher prices will be established
ventually.-Chas. e. Lewis &Co.

POLLOCK FOUGHT
FOR PROHIBITION
DISTRICT JUDGE HAS RETURNED
FROM sTuMPlNG MICHIGAN
PENINSULA FOR THE "DRYs"-
REFuTED SOME LI5ELLous
STATEMENTS.

Judge G. A. Pollock is back again in
chambers at the courthouse from his
recent eastern trip. In a conversation
with q Forum man this afternoon the
judge stated:
Il returned from st. Paul last. night
where I acted as one of the judges in
a debating contest between the North
Dakota University and Ham1ine. It
was a splendid debate upon the ques
tion of Free Trade v. Protection. All
the boys acquitted themselves splend-
idly. The contest was very even, re-
sulting I'm favor of Hamline by vote
Of two to one.
while absent I was over in the
Upper Peninsula of Michigan he con-
tinued, trying to defend our state
against some OF the slanderous reports
circulated about 1T by ex-Gov. Peck
Mayor Rose of Milwaukee. Mayor
Rose at Ironwood, stated to his audi
ence that 20 per cent of the people of
Fargo were arrested for drunkenness
every year. If we lave $4,000 people
that would mean that $500 are brought
before Judge Ryan every year, charg-
ed with drunkenness. whereas the facts
are and the records show that only
351 were arrested for drunkenness, and
Judge Ryan states that not to exceed
ten of them got drunk in Fargo, but
rather became intoxicated in Moor
head and came across the bridge. So,
Mayor Roses testimony concerning
our city should be ruled out as incom-
petent, and the statements should be
regarded untrustworthy.
"The situation in the Upper PENN
sula reminds one of the conditions
which prevailed in Fargo during the
license days, back in 's4 and 'S5 when
we had about forty-flve saloons and
two breweries. The so-called Drys'
there have just now inaugurated their
first campaign. They had hardly ex-
pected to win at this time, but cal
culated upon campaign of education
The breweries and saloon men became
so frightened that they imported ex-
Governor Peck, Mayor Rose and Con-
gressman Chas. A. Towne of New
York, formerly of Duluth, to stump
that part of the state in the interests
of the VETS
and other places having approximately
10000 or 10000 people each, they have
all the way from thirty to forty sa-
looms in each town, and the brewing
interests 0f that part of the country
are very extensive. The temperance
forces of that part OF the state say
that the campaign for the exterminat-
ing of the saloon has just begun and
that the one through which they have
just passed will afford the experience
which will aid in thorugh organ
ization which 1t is hoped will lead
to the utter extinction of the saloon
IT was much interested in the iron
ore mines. That is the principal in
dustry until you get up into the cop
per mines of Calumet.
I am glad to be back to Fargo
which am convinced more than eevr
is the biggest and best city of its
size in the whole country"
