EUGENE LEAGUE AND H. A.
SHAMBAUGH IN BIG DEAL
TO OPERATE SEVERAL
PLAY-HoUSES.
FORMER WILL MANAGE
Picture Show Places Purchased at
Crown Point, and Negotiations
Begun at Indiana Harbor and
at Logansport.
FORMER WILL MANAGE

A deal was~made Monday where
by Eugene League and H. A. Sham
6augh secured possession of photo
playhouse at Crown Point. 1t is the
only picture show in town of about
$500 population and is said to be do
ing fine business. They will take
it over at once as it is at present
open every night.
Mr.. League will act as manager of
the place. His great success along
this line is exemplifed in the bust
ness-like way in which his own play
house, the Crystal theatre of Our
city is run. The same good class of
pictures which have always been
shown at the Plymouth theatre will
be offered at the new place at Crown
Point.
Eugene is there at present making
the necessary arrangements for the
change in management Of the play
honse.
In addition to this deal the two
men are negotiating for theatre at
Indiana Harbor and also one at Lo-
gansport. They may open large
vaudeville house at the latter place
with seating capacity Of 1900. Def
mite arrangements in regard to these
places have not as yet been made.
1t is their plan to own and operate
circuit of four or five theatres and
thus secure much better pictures for
each place. When in control cf such
a circuit they could get any produc-
ton they might want as soon as it
was put out Tt is of interest to
Ielvmouth people to see their plan
carried out as then such shows could
be offered at the Crystal as have
selom been seen in. this city. 1t
would raise the standard of the films
that are shown, although they are al
rady of very high order.
Durino the absence of Eugene his
father, E. W. League will probably
look after the local playhouse, while
Charles, better known as "Pretty"
Vangilder, will act as assistant man
ager, he having already had a good
deal of experience in that field.

TEACHER A DETECTIVE
Max People Have Some Fun With q
Would-be Detective.

The spectacle Of young school
teacher who had taken an amateur
detective course and had read few
dime novels putting his detective abil-
ity to practical use took place at Max,
N. D., the other day when the young
man was set to work to unravel the
case of Mat Tancon, who was report,
ed to have fallen in well and lost
his life near Max.
The young teacher, who lives at
Garrison, had made some boasts that
he was detective, and the Max peo'
pie, to have some fun with him, EN-.
ployed him to get evidence against a
local butcher, who had ford and
swarthy countenance and looked as
if he. might have eaten several people
during his life.
The teacher, who was given to un
derstand that he was to get 500 for
the job, got busy. He tracked the
butcher all over town and quietly be
gan picking up evidence. Finally he
reported to his employers that he hao
seventeen points against the butcher
Just at this stage however, he got wise
to the game and took sudden leave
of absence, and the people of MAJ
have not seen him since. It is re
ported that the teacher has given W
the detective work.

Coming Knights Templar Event Will
Be One of the Biggest of the Kind
in History of the State.

The date of the twenty-second annual
couclave of the grand commandery
Knights Templar has been fixed for
April IS and &C. This conclavc will
take place in Fargo, and will undoubt-
eddy be one of the greatest events in
the Templar history of this state.
Special interest is attached to it
because the unwilling of the Frank
Jared Thompson monument will take
plact at that time. It is expected that
there will be very large attendance
Of Knight Templars from every com
mandery in the state as well as a
large number of officers and members
of the grand lodge and grand chapter
The sir knights of Auvergne command
cry are making elaborate preparations
for the entertainment of the grand
commandery, and if weather conditions
are favorable, the occasion of this con
clave will long be remembered BY
everyone.

LITTLE 1MM1aRANTs TO N. D.
AMUsE CROWD. IN st, PAUL

st. Paul, Mimi, March 25.-Two lit
tie girls, hailing from the lowlands Of
Holland and bound for North Dakota
in company with their mother and an
elder sister, held sway in the immi-
grant room of the union depot for sew
eral hours yesterday afternoon ana
evening while waiting for the train
that was to take them to the end of
their long journey. Their queer little
Dutch hoods and round faces, together
with their large blue eyes and masses
Of golden hair attracted attention
wherever they went, and their child.
ren's conversation carried on in low
land Dutch amused all who heard them,
for neither could speak English. At
times they left the .mmilra room to
wander through the depot in company
with big sister, and wonder at the
sights.
| It was hard to get them to talk on
account Of their not speaking English
but the big sister knew few words
and through her it was learned that
the children g names were Marie and
Dina Roodrant, aged 8 AMI 3 ears
and that they were enroute from Haar.

aus van der Polls farm, somewhere i,

very much, but would be glad when
the long journey was over, for they
wanted to see Uncle Paulaus' farm, OF
which they had heard a good deal. They
were not seasick coming over, but

thought they liked st. Paul. He was {

The Salvation Army.

1t is again our privilege to call the
attention of our friends and public at
large to the Salvation Army Self De-
NAL effort. It's object is to raise funds
to extend our work locally and in the
mission fields, now covering fifty-six
countries and colonies. 1t is surprising
that in SO short a time this army Of
Gcd has accomplished so much, but we
have come to the conclusion that this is
entirely due to the self-denyingn lives
and efforts Of its officers and adher-
ents. One has only to see them at work
to admire them, and they certainly de-
serve all we may do for them when we
remember that they, like their Master,
care nothing about creed or class. All
are alike to them. The need finds these
willing workers where the poorest and
worst are to be found, especially the
army work in the large cities among
the fallen and distressed. We know
that the army work in every town and
city is carefully looked after and its
funds properly accounted for, also
at the head are men and women fitted
to deal with the problems that con-
tinually face them. The results Ger.
tainly justify the means that are used
We will be gratifed for all assistance
that can be given to this branch of the
work. April End to 9th, week of prayer
and self denial, everyone is invited to
unite with US. Capt. Bacon,
Officer in Charge.

which is that the Legislature in each
state without popular direction should
on its own initiative select citizen
for membership in the senate. To Sc
cure adherence to the original purpose
of the constitution, federal power
could step in, it is declared, and CON-
pei the states in question to follow the
method Of election originally contem-
plated. This situation will constitute
an argument which progressive sena-
tors will bring to bear when the debate
on the direct election is resumed in the
next congress.
AS a result Of further careful inquiry
Senator Borah, Of Idaho who is in
charge of the direct election issue, has
satisfied himself that the present form
of the constitution is malice to the
growth of popular government. The
progressives expect this argument TO
have effect upon such northern states
as are doubtful about The issue of tho
negro disfranchiscmcnt, but have no
doubt about the ACCESSIBILITY of the
senatorial primary. So this issue will
be joined in the next congress with the
issue of negro disfranchisement and the
two will be fought out together. It is
the purpose Of Senator Borah to bring
the direct election question up in the
next congress in precisely the same
for in which it came up in the recent
session. The resolution which he will
offer will provide that states shall con.
troll the inc, the place and the manner
Of electing senators, taking this pew I'll

system of Selecting Senatorial Nom
inees in North Dakota Wrong.
Minneapolis, March 23.-W. w. Jer-
name in Washington dispatch to the
Journal says:
The strong hand Of the federal gov
eminent can legally prevent the system
of advisory primaries now used in the
Dakotas, Washington, California, Wis
consin, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Mich
igan and numerous other states in Sc
lecteing senatorial nominees. This is
the claim Of senators who have made
careful study Of the question. An ad-
verse federal congress can force the
people of the state concerned to leave
the selection Of senatorial nominees to
legislative caucus. This opinion is
adhered to by practically all the pro.
gressive members of the senate. The
right Of the federal government, it is
asserted, arises from the, provisions OF
the constitution which gives congress
control over "the time, the place and
the manner Of conducting the cleo
ton Of senators.
The word "manner, it is said, can
be construed to mean the machinery
whereby the election is brought about.
The primary machinery set up in tho
states referred to is the state ma
chinery, exclusively, and has no stand.
ing in the federal constitution. Indeed
it furnishes method Of getting around
