NO FREE RETURNS
FROM PHONE CO.
INSTRUCTIONS AGAINST lssu.
ANcEs OF FREE RETURNS ON
THE ELECTION RECEIVED BY
THE NOTWITHSTANDING REA-
SONS GIVEN.

A circular letter was received today
at the Fargo Office of the Northwest
ern Telephone Exchange Co ordering
that no elections returns will be given
free of charge, by the branch ex-
changes, Tuesday. The order applies
to all exchanges of the company and
will greatly change the system of get
ting election returns in Fargo this
year.
Heretofore the local telephone ex-
change has received and given out
election returns. A staff of ste
nographers have been employed and
extra "hello help has been necessary
to care for the large volume of BUSH
ness that came into the office, because
of the election returns.
No reason has been assigned for the
discontinuance of this service. Man
ager Hillary of the local exchange
stated this afternoon that he did not
know why the order was being placed
this year and the president of the
company, who was in the city yester-
day from Minneapolis. did not mako
any statements regarding the letter
received here this morning.

pirate services will be held in all the

mailed out literature to all the teach
ers Of the state explaining the work

ture is devoted to the printing of reci-
tations which will be in good form to
be delivered on Children's Home day.

rived by the home from subscriptions

the state on this day Children are al
lowed to give either cash, food or
clothing, all of which are shipped into

have endorsed the movement and the
Fargo city schools have always OBJ
served it.

MERCHANTS PROTEST
Supplies Bought by Democratic Board
of A. G. in Minnesota-LocaI Men
Had No Chance to Bid.

To The Forum: We, the merchants
of Fargo, read with a great deal OF
interest the article by Mr.. Gross in
the night before last issue of The
Forum and agree with him that state
institutions like the A. c.. which are
supported by the tax payers. shor1e
purchase their supplies within the
state, whenever they can.
A short time ago there was a large
bill of grocery supplies to be purchas
ed for the new dormitory at the A. q.
When we heard of 1t we merchants
expected chance to figure on the or
der and were assured that we would
have the chance. We later learned
that the order had already been placed
with q Minneapolis concern, the order
amounting to some $1,000. One OF the
wholesale grocers told us that be
phoned to the secretary of the A. @.
with the request that If the retailers
had no chance to land this order, that
he be allowed to figure on 1t. He was
informed that the order had already
been placed, and we found out that
the order had been given to a cousin
of the secretary, who represents O for
eign jobber. We do not believe that
when Farnham or Nugent were secre
tary or when Alex Stern, Henry
Rusch or AID Leech were on the board
that these methods would have been
allowed.

CASE SETTLED
OUT OF COURT
ATTORNEYS IN o'NElL CASE SAY
DEFENDANT HAS ASKED TO
WITHDRAW ANSWER AND PER
NIT JUDGMENT AND clTYs
CREDIT is SUSTAINED.

1t was learned late this afternoon
that the defendant in the case of the
Stone Piano CO. VS.. w. M. O'Neil, the
latter of the Exchange MOTEL of this
city had instructed his attorneys to
withdraw the answer to the complaint
and permit judgment to be entered for
the plaintiff. While the style of the
case is as given herewith, by reason of
certain assignments, the claim against
Mr.. O'Neil is one for a bill for liquors
supplied. Payment Of the bill is al
legged to have been refused, after con
siderable pushing for payment, on the
ground that this being in so-called In
dian territory the sale was illegal and
therefore the bill could not be coll
lected. AS stated in this department,
last evening, if the point of the de-
PENDANT was sustained it would abb
solutely mean discontinuance of out
side credit to all dealers in wet goods
all over this part of the state.

CHURCHMEN Of
FARGO TO MEET
JOINT MEETING or THE BROTH.
ERHooDs OF EVERY CHURCH
WHICH HAS SUCH AN ORGAN
lzATloN NEXT MONDAY EVEN
ING AT Prizes HALL.

One of the largest open parliament
arian gatherings of the men of Fargo
will be held at Prizes hall Monday
evening, Nov. 81. At this time men
of all the brotherhoods of all the city
churches will banquet together and
discuss such topics as popular vote
shall show to be most timely.
The joint meetings of all the broth
erhoods of the city has been agitated
for some time and the movement which
has been started for the big co-opera-
tive meeting is predicted to be one OF
the biggest successes that was ever
advanced in Fargo in this line of work
The practical turn of the brotherhoods
in supporting the solution of civic and
live life problems makes the joint
meeting most interesting at this time
There are many lines of social and
religious welfare work in which the
men of all the denominations might
fittingly unite Some of these activi-
ties, though possessing great merit, do
not appeal to men at this time, so
would fail through lack of proper sup
port In order to decide just what can
be undertaken most successfully at this
time, the open parliament idea will be
employed.

I there for Mr. Wefald and his friends
to ponder over.
Moorhead News: The election OF a
Clay county man to so important and
honorable a position will reflect honor
upon the county, and voters of every
political belief are urged to vote for
Mr.. Nye for district judge. Unani-
mously endorsed by the lawyers of the
county, with no fight Of any kind be-
Ing made upon him other than the cry
Of partisan politics. which every just
man has determined to keep out of the
selection Of the judiciary, and with his
undoubted fitness for the office,
coupled with the fact that he is our
neighbor and as such is entitled to
our support, Mr.. Nye will doubtless be
given the largest majority In Clay
county ever accorded a candidate for
any Office.
The quality Of the freezing last
night and the night before is indi-
Gated by the fact that parts of the
river are CONCEALED from one shore to
the other. notably north Of the north
bridge. The narrow channel south of
the bridge is all clear. even the edges
are not fringed with ice. and that is
accounted for because the water is
deeper and the current more swift.
