count OF FARGO
IS ON TOMORROW
RELIGIOUS CENSUS WILL BE
TAKEN - FINAL INSTRUCTIONS
olVEN-EvERY PERSON ASKED
TO ASSIST BY SEEING THEY
ARE COUNTED.

Tomorrow is visiting day in the city
OF Fargo and it is expected that every
home in the city will be visited by
a Sunday school worker in taking a
census OF the city from the standpoint
Of churches.
The day is being planned In Coop
Grafton with the state Sunday school
convention which Is being held in Far
go this week. The canvassers will
make the rounds between the hours Of
and 5 o'clock tomorrow afternoon
and at least some understanding mem
bers Of the family should remain at
home during this hour to assist the
census takers in making up their
records
The visitation day has proved to be
big success wherever tried in the
United States. Among the immediate
results accomplished are:
First: Cases of real need, both tenn
poral and spiritual, brought to light.
Certificates Of church membership,
and membership not yet transferred
from other places will be found In the
local churches where they belong.
Second: The training Of those who
participate in the work. Often It will
be the beginning Of an active christian
life, and AFFORD the over burdened pas
tors an opportunity to share with new
helpers the heavy load they have too
often to carry alone.
Third: An immediate increase In
attendance upon the Sunday school
and churchV services, through careful
attention by specially selected in
dividuals will need to be shown to
those who appear for the first time,
lest they leave to return no more.
There are, however, many lasting re-
suits Of the visitation which are not
seen with the immediate results and
the efforts that are put forth in this
work are always worthy.
Is has been requested by the COM
mtttee in charge OF the work that the
following blank, properly filled out, be
left with the next door neighbor or
some one in the immediate vicinity
tomorrow afternoon in case Of the alb
sence Of the members Of the family. 1t
is desired to have all of the enumera-
ton checked as soon as possible
There will be a meeting of the
workers this evening at the Presby-
terrain church at o'clock. At this
time Hugh Cork of Chicago will in
struct the workers on the method of
procedure.

western Minnesota were represented

most successful ever held in connec-
ton with the agricultural college.
Mr.. Kennedy's selection was, Enoch
Arden, which he gave in a most eff
fective manner. The portrayal of the
death of Enoch and his last message
TO his sweetheart was very pathetic
and was delivered with much feeling
Mr.. Masterson, who represented
GAINESVILLE high school, won second
place with the selection, The Heart of
Old Hickory. His impersonation OF a
newsboy relating the story of his little
friend to the governor Of Tennessee,
was very good and his delivery was al
most perfect.

dreth, delivered a scene from, Lion and
the Mouse, and was close third. She
impersonated three different characters
very effectively and spoke with a clear
voice.
The other contestants were: Mabel
Smiling of Ada, Mimi, selection, Biff
Perkins Toboggan Slide; Vida Chew

the Switch; Wilfred Stiles of Mandan,
N. D., selection, The Roman Patriot;

ton, The Soul of the Violin; and
William Dresser of New Rockford, N.

LaRoue Buxton, Miss Maud Hayes

and owing to the fact that President
Worst was unable to be present, Pro-
lessor Arvold awarded the prizes. The
first prize was a beautiful banner which
does not become permanent property
until won at two successive contests.
The second prize was a handsome gold
medal and for third place was awarded
silver medal.

The Theatres
FARGO oPERAHousE.
May 22.--Dockstader Minstrels.
May 24.-Madame Sherry.
! May 26.--High School Play.


The attraction at the Fargo opera
house May 90, will be Lew Dockstader,
the perennial purveyor OF merriment,
who comes with what he is pleased to
term his Twentieth Century Minstrels
for his annual engagement in Fargo.
There is one thing that Dockstader
Is to be commended for and that is
that he is not eternally prating of the
good old fashioned and palmy days OF
minstrelsy, but tries to keep his en-
tertainment strictly up to date and
classy in every respect. He has even
been daring enough to make an inno-
walton in the proverbial first part and
instead Of the traditional semicircle
with bones and tambo, he has substi-
tuted a sort Of musical comedy which
he is pleased to designate as the Pos
sum Hunt Revue.

REBELS IN TRIUMPH
HaylIan President Forced 10 Aban-
don Capital Of Island.
Government Chamberlain Slain and
Five Others of Party Killed
Daughter Wounded.

Port Au Prince, Hayti-The revolu-
ton in Hayti has triumphed. Presi-
dent Simon fled the capital Thursday
and took refuge on board the Haytian
cruiser Seventeenth of December,
formerly the yacht American. With
him went his wife and children and a
number of his followers.
On all sides the capital is invested
by followers Of General Firmin, one of
the revolutionary leaders. The city
itself is in the hands of a committee
of safety and there is no general dis
order. Foreign interests are believed
to be secure. None of the foreign
warships has landed bluejackets.
AS the aged president was embark
ing there was a clash in which his
chamberlain, Deputy Prin, and five
other persons were killed and Clemen-
tina Simon, his daughter, and six
other persons were wounded. The
injuries of Miss Simon are slight.
Promptly at a o'clock Simon came
out of the main entrance of the palace.
Over his shoulder the old man, who
had declared that he would fight to
the end, carried his rifle. With head
erect, he marched down to the wharf.
At his side his daughter, Clemen-
tina, walked. Other members of his
family previously had taken refuge on
board the Seventeenth of December.
AS Simon and his daughter reached
the wharf there was a rush from the
mob, which had gathered to witness
the departure. Miss. Simon was the
center of the attack, and several wo-
men, bowling and shrieking, succeed
ed in pulling off her hat. The chief
Of police led the young woman toward
a schooner, and Deputy Prin offered
his arm to Miss Simon.
AS he did 80 man rushed up and,
pressing the barrel of his rifle into the
ieputy's face, shot and killed him.
Firing became general and before it
ceased five other persons had been
killed and six wounded.

ENTOMBED MINER LIVES.
Receives Food Through Drill Hole
and 10 Not Worrying.

Joplin, Mo. 78 feet be
low the surface of the earth, facing
possible death from the rapidly rising
water in the mine drift, Joseph Clary,
the young miner caught by a cave-ir
at the White Oak mine here was
feasted on fried chicken and jokec
with friends who are waiting at the
surface for his rescue.
The fourth drill hole put down in an
attempt TO reach his prison penetrated
the roof of limestone late Tuesday af-
ternoon.
Hello" Maurice Grafton called
down the hole when the drill bits had
been removed.
Hello; I'm hungry" came the
clear but faint reply.
Then Thomas Clary, father of the
entombed miner, hurried to his home,
where the young mans mother was
Frustrated from grief, and told her
that the young man was still alive.
The news, the doctors say, saved her
life.
From his home the father, one of
the oldest prospectors in the district,
hurried back to the mine, carrying
milk and stimuIants, which were low
cred by piece of rope.
After drinking these young Clary
seemed much stronger and remained
near the drill hole talking with those
at the top.

HEAT RECORD is MADE.
Summer Hottest in United States
For Forty Years.

Washington, D. C.-Not in the past
40 years have temperatures in the
United States during the late spring
and early summer been so uniformly
high for so long a period and over
such large portion of the country as
this year, according to Weather Bu-
reau officials. The high temperatures
were most pronounced over the more
central and northern portions of the
country, while the Southern states
were comparatively exempt from un-
usual heat.
The intense heat over the more pop
ulous sections caused severe suffering
in the congested portions of the cities
and resulted in the loss of probably
thousands of lives.
Lack of rainfall over the great apri-
cultural districts during most of the
long heated period greatly retarded
vegetable growth and threatened a
serious .curtailment of crop produc-
ton. Opportune rains, however.
with cooler weather, greatly improved
conditions, and the outlook at the
present time is favorable for the
gathering of the usual harvests of
most great staples.
The period of greatest discomfort
was from June % to July 10. Higher
temperatures occurred at other periods
over much of the territory, but the
resulting discomfort and loss of hu-
man life were doubtless augmented in
the period just passed by the fact that
the most intense heat occurred to-
ward the close of a long heated
period, when animal vitality had been
largely depleted and therefore was not
in condition to withstand further the
debllitating effect of still greater
heat. The nearest approach to the re-
cent hot waves was in 1901.

ASSAY OFFICES DOOMED.
Government Says Operation Is BY
Considerable Loss,

Washington, D. C. = More land
marks of the Old West will begin to
disappear January /. unless congress
should pass legislation to maintain the
Western assay Offices on their present
basis.
The government has decided to
double the charge for assaying at
Deadwood, Carson, Salt Lake, Helena,
Boise, and Seattle. Members of con-
gress from those places protest that
increased charges will close the Offices
because the mining companies will
prefer to send their gold to the mints,
where the assaying charge will not be
increased.
Treasury officials say the offices
have been dead loss for years. Sc
attic, they say, does quite business
in assaying gold that comes from
Alaska. but at all others the govern
ment loses money.
The government established most
of these offices in the stirring days
when a messenger setting out with a
fortune in his saddle bag often failed
to return, and the professional "as-
sayer" was classed with the card
sharper and the ''gun man." No
miner was assured of an honest assay
of his treasure.
But with the advent of mining ma
chinery the offices became less useful
because many of the big companies
sent their gold direct to the mints.

Panama Chief Threaten.

Panama - The political situation
here grows more complicated. The
friends of President Arosemna's ad-

government employees who do not fav-
or his reelection will be replaced by
those who do. This unprecedented
campaign on behalf of the national
executive was begun with the is
suance of decree replacing Ramon F.
Aeevado, secretary of government and
chief Of the cabinet. with Feliodoro
Patinio. who has been the secretary
of public instruction.
