Now we tackled-not without fear-Ln xnown meats and vegetables cooked in sugar. fresh shrimps. mushrooms fror. Mongolia, young bamboo sprouts, pl geons' eggs and hundred different foreign tasting messes. Then clean plates were given to Us. and bowls of sickly pink sirup. sweet potato and indian corn cakes of dusky hue were set before each one. These were only creysce fillers and concluded the first and lighter portion of the repast. Now :ame the real substantial meal, where n every dish had an accompaniment of smaller ones. containing gravies. etc. in which to dip the morsel taken from the central bowl.
 There was stewed duck cooked with out salt. roast sucking pig, forcemeal balls and chicken; there were soups of birds nest, of mushroom, of vegetables and of sea slugs. There was grilled fresh water fish. which, according to -usiom, was helped flom the top side oCly, for the Chinese remembers his servant. And. finally, at the conelu sion the inevitable small bowl of rice and rice water was set before each norson.

'Cannon's graveyard because the
speaker referred to it bills he did not
care to have see the light of day. Mr..
Fitzgerald, according to the rule Of
seniority, is in line for the chairman
ship Of the all important committee on
appropriations. He is an active aspir-
ant for the position.
The action of the Democrats with
respect to revising the rules already
shows that the progressives are in the
majority-for this revision is strongly
opposed by the Fitzgerald faction
There is in the house of representa-
tiyes a group of progressive Democrats
who will fight to the last any propo-
sition looking to harmony on mere
partisan basis. They will fight against
the elevation Of Fitzgerald and his
heutenants to places of trust and
prominence. They will endeavor to put
none but progressives on guard
Leading spirits in this group are
James Hay. of Virginia; Robert L.
Henry, of Texas; Claude Kftchin. Of
North Carolina, and Thetus w. Sims,
Of Tennessee. These men, moreover.
took instant action after the election,
to commit the majority of their fell
low Democrats to the definite pledge
to take from the speaker the power to
appoint committees.

low, are justified by the event. In their
article entitled What VIII the Demo
Gratis Do?" these writer's point out the
probable lines along which the Demo-
cratic cleavage will be marked. They
say:
AS the Republican party in the pres
ent congress divided into two factions,
cratic party in the next congress will
be divided into two factions, Tory and
Progressive. The line of cleavage is
not yet as distinct as in the Republican
division, but the split will come.
And when the division comes the
Tory group probably will center about
Fitzgerald, of New York. His action in
saving Cannon made him the popular
hero Of the Tory Democrats of the
house. His chief lieutenants in the
present congress are William G Brant-

are crusted Tories, distrustful Of the

MANDAN GRANTED
AN ELKS LODGE
DEPUTY GRAND EXALTED RULER
LEEcH or FARGO APPRAISED or
DIsPENsATIoN GRANTING THE
LODGE TO MANDAN--TENTH IN
THE STATE.

A special dispensation has been
granted by Grand Exalted Ruler John
Sullivan OF New Orleans Of the B. r.
O. Elks, which established a new lodge
OF Elks within the state Of North Da-
! kota at Mandan. Deputy Grand Ex-
allied Ruler Addison Leech of Fargo,
was officially notified Of the action of
the grand exalted ruler this morning
and will have charge Of the installa-
ton OF the Mandan lodge.
Mandan Is growing little city on
the Missouri river and among the
many advancements made there the
the establishment of the lodge Of Elks
In that city Is perhaps one Of the most
noticeable. For severaI months many
OF Mandan's most prominent business
and professional men have been engag-.
ed in the movement to secure a lodge
OF the Elks and it was a great moment
to them when word arrived that the
dispensation had been granted which
gives them a charter,
Deputy Exalted Ruler Leech will in
stall the new lodge, which will be the
tenth in the state, the ceremony taxi
ing place about the middle of next
month. MIR. Leech will go to Mandan
to supervise the formal organization
OF the order there and establish what
Will be recognized as one of Mandan's
most prominent institutions.
The establishment OF the Elks lodge
at Mandan is great source of graft
f1cation to all the citizens of that en-
terprising little city for 1t is a well
known fact that according to an I'M
written rule in the grand lodge of the
order, that no application will be con-
sidered in any city of less than 5000
inhabitants A recent census of Man
dan showed that that city has over
100 more than the required population
There are already forty men in Man
dan who are members Of other Elks
lodges and are in good standing, so
that the new branch there will start
| out with quite a fiourishing member
ship. Fifty more have signified their
intention of joining just as soon as it
is possible. so that Mandan will have a
membership Of nearly 100
There are now lodges at Fargo
Grand Forks, Devils Lake, Minot. viii
liston, Jamestown, Valley city, Bis
marclS and Dickinson, which lis a list
OF which the antlered order at large
may well be proud. A booster note
for the new lodge at Mandan will
probably be sounded tonight at the
big booster banquet of the local lodge
which is for the purpose Of deciding
upon the new Elks' home for Fargo.
Exalted Ruler Mcdonald and Secre-
tary Orchard and the others in charge
OF the banquet tonight and the home
proposition, are urgent that every
Fargo Elk attend il it is at all possible.

ABBOTT ARRIVES
in FARGO SEPT. 20
ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER OF
INDIAN AFFAIRS NOTIFIES
CONGRESSMAN HANNA THAT
HE WILL MEET HIM IN FARGO
eEPT. 20.


Word was received from Frank H.
Abbott assistant commissioner Of In
dian affairs at Washington, this morn
ing at the office of Cong. l.. B. Hanna
notifying him that he win arrive in
Fargo Wednesday, Sept. 90, instead
Of Sept. II. as had originally been
intended.
Commissioner Abbott, in his letter
to Congressman Hanna, informs the
Fargo statesman that he will arrive
on the Oriental limited at $40 O'Clock
and will cross the town at once to the
Northern Pacific station where he will
join Mr.. Hanna and the two will leave
for Bismarck at GAO. Mr.. Ziegler.
private secretary to Mr.. Hanna, will
make all the arrangements as the con-
gresham is out OF the city and will
not be back until tomorrow evening.
The mission of Commissioner Abbott
has been published in The Forum prior
to this time, even before the news was
given out officially from Washington,
SO that it Is now well known in all
parts of the state. Both Congressman
Hanna and the commissioner will at
tend an Indian council In the Fort
Berthold reservation to consider some
matters of Indian legislation which is
to be taken up by Congressman Hanna
during the coming session Of congress.
With Mr.. Abbott on the ground and
seeing the situation for himself 1t will
be easier for Mr.. Hanna to accomplish
all the Indian needs with the hearty
cooperation of the department OF In
dian az airs.
Mr.. Hanna left Minot Thursday
evening, after formally opening the
great land drawing. He went directly
to his farm near Bord due Lac where
he has been hunting since. This is his
first visit to his farm In a year, so ii
will seem good to the congressman to
get back again to country life for a
few days. He will return to his duties
here tomorrow evening, SO that he will
be able to be at his desk Monday
morning.
During his absence from the city
Mr.. Hanna has had many calls from
members of both political factions and
there win be great deal for him To
attend to just as soon as he gets back
