Miqht AS Well.

The DISSEMINATION OF the silver SER
vice for the battleship Florida will be
held at Pensacola December IS. The
Pensacola Journal wants the service
held on board the ship instead of the
San Carlos hotel, as had been arrang
ed. The only proper place to hold the
exercises, it seems to this neighbor
is on board the ship. If it is to be
given in an uptown hotel, why not
have it done in Montgomery? We like
big crowds. and flags, bands and pret-
ty girls. We shouldn't be surprised if
a goodly number Of Alabama people
didn't go down to watch the presen-
tation. 1t will be another ''auspicious
occasion. n.''-Montgomery Advertiser.

Halvor L. Halvorson of Minot, and
John Bruegger of Wliston are talked
of as candidates for congress on the
Democratic ticket. In the central
district Mcdowell and Joe Doyle are
possibilities, while Geo. e. Duis and
M. A. Hildreth are ready to 90 into
the field On a moments warning.
Just now, there is quite q row in
the Democratic camp. Macarthur,
chairman, and Fred Mclean, secre-
tary of the Democratic state central
committee, grabbed the largest pieces
OF pie, when Macarthur was appointed
oil inspector and Mclean, chief game
warden of the southern district. The
Democrats assert that these men
used the organizat ton to further their
own interests.
In March, the election of national
delegates will be held, and while
North Dakota democrats will give
Burke a complimentary vote, they
will eventually go for Woodrow Will
son. The state is largely insurgent
and LaFollette will no doubt be the
choice of the republicans.

PASSION Play WAS
GREATLY ENJOYED
PACkE HOUSE GREE TED
CHARLES WILLIS HARRIS
WEDNESDAY: EVENING.
Splendid Stereopticon Views rIIustrat-
ed the Lecture and the Speaker
Carried the Audience, With Him.

Rev. Charles Willis Harris delivered
his famous travel talk on the Passion
Play at the First Presbyterian church
last evening before packed house.
The lecture was scheduled originally
for Tuesday evening and there were
only few present at that time be-
cause of the sixty-mile gale which was
blowing. Nevertheless the lecturer
delivered his masterpiece on that &C.
casiOn and Their repeated it last even
ing when the more clement weather
assured him OF splendid audience.
The lecture on the Passion Play as
delivered by Rev. Harris was one of
the richest treats that has been lis
tened to in the Capital City for many
months. His thorough familiarity
with the subject was very apparent
and his hearers were sorry when he
brought his address to a close. Rev.
Harris has in addition to a splendid
flow of words an impressive manner
of address which cannot fail to please
those who hear him.
The lecture was illustrated by over
ninety handsome stereopticon views
which gave the audience clearer
view Of the great religious drama so
ably described by the lecturer.
|. A pleasing feature of the evenings
entertainment was the piano selec.
tons of Miss Grace Meyers. Miss
Meyers is an accomplished musician
and was especially fortunate in the
selection of her numbers, all of which
were heartily received.

CAPITAL employees
ENJOYED LUNCHEON
MISS CORA JOHNSON WAS PRE-.
SENTED WITH HANDSOME
FLOWER VASE.
Has Been a Resident of the Capital
City for the Past Six Years and Has
Many Warm Friends.

A few minutes after the noon hour
Wednesday the employees of the CAPT,
toll met at luncheon in the dining room
of the building given in honor of Miss
Cora NJ. Johnson, who leaves the
treasurers office after faithful and
efficient service for the past six years.
Nearly all the employees were present.
Mrs. Brown, with characteristic grace,
acted as toastmistress and felicitously
introduced those who responded to
toasts. Mrs. Budlong and Messrs.
Oseth, Moore, Harris, Jorgerson and
Waddam responded happily to calls
from the toastmistress. Mr.. VIM.
Burke was called upon, then S. John
son, following which loud calls were
heard for Mr. Acker. Thus the
Burke-J ohnson-Acker trio contested
for the more modest honors of post
prandial oratory. There were no
charges or counter-charge of the use
of passes in this contest for the can
didates all seemed more or less &C.
complished in the art of Intellectual
aviation.
The luncheon was arranged for UNI
der the auspices of the ladies of the
capitol, who presented Miss Johnson
with beautiful cutglass flower vase.
This was an altogether fitting tribute
to the popularity of the young lady,
who during her long residence in the
city had won the esteem of all who
knew her. If the sincere wishes of
many friends can contribute ever so
little to the happiness and prosperity
of the recipient. Miss Johnson will
undoubtedly enjoy the fullest measure
of both.

The Number Nine,

There were nine cartfs, according to
medieval cosmogony. nine heavens,
nine rivers Of he'll and nine orders Of
angels. The number icing perfection
since it represented divinity was Of
ten used TO signify great quantity,
as in the phrases, "a nine days won.
der" ~ cat has nine lives" and "Ninc
tailurs make Il man." In Scotland 4
distcrrtr',l COW was cured by wash
ing her In nine surfs. TO see nine mag"
pies was considered extremely lucky.
Nine knots made in black WOODEN
thread served as Il charm in the case
Of a sprlin. 1t was also believed and
is still by some that if a servant girl
finds nine green peas in one ped and
lays them on the window sill the first
man that enters will be her beau.

the Valley City high line and viaduct.
This was one Of the greatest engineer
ing feats in the west, and is the largest
steel viaduct of its form in. this section
2f the country. He was also connected
with the reconstruction of the Bismarck
Alandan bridge five years ago when the
