rain almost a cloud burst accom-
panied by high winds, and heavy
precipitation of hail enveloping the
city for over an hour. One and five
hundreths inches of rain fell during
the storm which was of a short dura
ton, flooding the city. Hail fell
for almost twenty minutes and for
hours afterward drifts and piles of
the small icy pellets, the size of
hazel nuts, covered the ground. A
sudden drop in temperature accom-
panied the storm.
The Jim river rose suddenly be-
tween and inches as the rain fell
in such torrents the ground could
not absorb the moisture. Streets and
bitches were flooded for time.
Damage, however, is reported as
as slight, mostly to small gardens;
many Easements were flooded. There
was no damage at the state hospital
or at Jamestown college.
The hail was heaviest at the city
of jamestown; there was little hail
at the asylum. The rain, however,
was general in this part of the state.
At Bismarck there was heavy rain
fall accompanied by high wind early
in the afternoon. Plate glass win
dows were blown in, bill boards
destroyed and the grand standt at
the ball grounds blown to smither-
eens; no hall.

Medina, Windsor, report very little
hail and heavy rain, also north at
| Buchanan, Pingree, Courtenay and
Wimbledon, Darlington, the same
conditions, and east at Spiritwood
and Sanborn there was heavy rains
and but little hail. At Fried and
Spiritwood lake heavy rain fell
with light hail. The crops are now

CHANGING ONES NAME.
The Method IL q Rather Costly One
In Great Britain,


Many people change their names
without asking permission from any
one or paying any fees whatever. This
is certainly the simplest way of get
ting rid of a name you do not appre-
ciate, but it Is apt to prove expensive.
For instance. such course is strictly
illegal, and the government could step
in at any time and demand the pay
ment of heavy fine; and. further
more, il the individual who changed
his name without consulting anybody
happened to come in for Il large sum
of money unexpectedly the authorities
would decline TO recognize his claim
if he had failed to pay the fees due to
the heralds' college for assuming u
name not given in baptism.
There are two ways of changing
your name, and they are both rather
costly. One method is to have pri-
vate act of parliament passed for your
benefit. This course is generally fol-
lowed only by peers and people to
whom money is no object, for 1t costs
ESQ. This nearly all goes in fees to
minor officials for bringing your case
before the legislature. inasmuch as the
actual passing of the bill costs prac-
tically nothing. And the only advan-
tage you will gain from this expensive
way of going to work is that inquiries
will not be made into your past history,
which by the other alternative are un'
| avoidable.
The usual method adopted for legally
changing the name Is somewhat te-
dious, if less costly. and you must have
very substantial reasons for so doing
or your claim will not be allowed. II,
for instance, you inherit property
which makes it conditional that you
change your name you can do so on
payment of about $50 in fees.
In the first place you must com
municate with the home secretary
who, If he considers your claim valid
will refer you to the heralds' college
and the king of arms. These officials
will make full inquiries into your his
tory and satisfy themselves beyond
question that your reason for wishing
to make the change is in every wa!
legitimate. This done, they will agail
communicate with the home secretary
who will lay your claim before tn
king, for he alone has power to au
thorize the change being made. Even
tually. after some months of waiting
you will be informed by the heralds
college that his majesty has approved
of your claim and the change Of nam
is published in a remote corner of tn
London Gazette.
Finally it is worthy Of mention tina
no one can hold public appointment
under government who has changet
his name without the consent OF tn
king, however brilliant may have bee
his services to the country. The reaso
for this is rather curious. The nam
given you at your baptism is in theor
ratified by the sovereign as head of tn
church, and by assuming another o
your own responsibility you are delit
erately breaking law Of the land

CURE FOR WARTS AND CORNS.
How to Remove Them Quickly and
With Little Pain.

How to Remove Them Quickly and
With Little Pain.
The advantage Of carbon dioxide
snow lies in the fact that warts, corns
and calIosities may be removed with
out operation, prolonged treatment or
much pain and that no scar results.
The snow is obtained by fastening
a leather pouch tightly about the out
let of carbon dioxide pressure cylin-
der and allowing two or three puffs Of
the gas to escape. The snow is shaped
into pencils by pressing it through a
glass syringe without needle.
The application, which may be made
with some pressure, is continued from
twenty TO fifty seconds Qess in aged
individually. With warts the area
treated should be about double that of
the wart. The nearer to the finger tip
the more painful the treatment. In
about twenty four hours the wart will
be found free from the underlying
skin. The vasicle is now eXcised. and
the raw surface, which is formed by
the palillae of the skin, is dressed with
bland powder.
The procedure for the removal OF
cOrns and callosities is the same. By
this simple method prompt and perma
nent results may be obtained, 1t is de
clared. Journal OF Surgery

MIR. ALFRED BOOTH FOR
COMMISSIONER.

The subject of this sketch is busi-
ness man and a man whose interests
are great. He is not an Office seeker
and not politician in the common ac-
ceptation of the term. We all know
Mr.. Booth who ran a grocery on East
Monroe street for years and who now
has his business on East Capitol ave
nue.. 1t is a good sign of a brighter
and better day when this class of men
are willing to lay aside their business
affairs and take the responsibility
upon themselves to operate the affairs
of great city such as is Springfield.
Mr.. Booth is a man that the whole
people believe will be absolutely on
the square. The Colored people have
always found this class or type of men
to be in favor of doing justice TO all.
1t is not the good, respectable people
who would crush down the weak.
These men stand for right and justice
and equality before the law. Mr..
Booths record places him in the cate
CORY of men who are safe and sane
and trustworthy. Believing as we do
that he is worthy of your support and
that If elected every class of citizens
and every righteous cause will have a
fair hearing, we present this sketch.

SEELEY'S RECORD.
Was City Attorney for Six Years

City Attorney Roy M. Seeley, who
has served in that capacity for six
years, making an enviable record as
a public official, is candidate for
Mayor under the new form. Mr..
Seeley is running on his record and
experience in public life and offers
that record as guaranty of his com
potency and business sagacity.
Mr.. Seeley has looked strictiy after
the city's affairs and there is no com
plant on him whatsoever for any neg
ligence or dereliction of duty while in
office.
He is young man and well liked
by his host of friends.
Mr.. Seeley, during the six years now
about to close, has less said against
him on that question of graft than any
other official of the city in the past
ten or fifteen years. So far as can be
ascertained he has made clean rec
ord as an official.
So far as his ability and experience
are concerned. that is not question
able.
His record while in office is his plat
form.

MR.. CHAS. LINK FOR COM
MISSIONER.

Mr.. Chas. F. Link, of the firm of
Van Horn 4 Link, south side square,
a propsaent business man, is candi-
date for Commissioner and announces
in The Forum this week. Mr.. Link
has been in business on the south side
for twenty years and is too well known
for a long write up. He is a pro-
gressive man and is allied with the
element that believes in law enforce
ment and order As a business man
and taxpayer, he is a desirable man.
His competency is beyond question,
because it is a self-evident fact that
he is able to meet the demands of the
office. Mr.. Link served as a member
of the Board of Supervisors from the
township and made one of the best
members of that body. The Colored
vote should study the conditions here
and be careful in their selections of
men. They are aware of the fact that
were business men and taxpayers such
as Mr.. Link in charge of our affairs
political, there would be serener times
and no great uncalled for catastroDhes
occurring. Mr.. Link is so well known
to our readers that we simply desire
to present his name, believing that
with this class of men elected, all will
be treated fair and a great revolution
will take place.

senting to the readers of The

College street. A young man of
the highest repute who is a candi-
date for Commissioner. Mr.. Ogg
comes highly recommended and
has proven that he is worthy of
note by working up a substantial
business. He is the proprietor of
the Four Hundred Cigar and is
the manufacturer of the same If
elected a Commissioner he will
prove equally as successful, no
doubt, in the affairs of the city as
he has proven in his business. He
is a young man of sterling quail
ties and believes equality before
the law for every man. He is too
well known for much laudation.
We interviewed several men and
they speak in the highest terms of
this young man.
The Colored vote will be cast
for men this time and we hope
every reader of this article will
make a thorough investigation
and give Mr.. 0gg's candidacy due
consideration and give him fair
deal.

his life and owns considerable prop
erty at 18th and Capitol avenue and
vicinity. Mr.. Quinn is highly recon-
mended by some of the best colored
and white citizens of the city who have
known him for years. He is man who
believes all men should have square
deal-he treats all the same-knows
no man by his color or position, but
by the individuals worth and self re-
spect. Mr.. Quinn has run a store at
18th and Capitol avenue for the past
twelve years and the people who have
dealt with him say he is not only fit
man for the place but good citizen.

OUR SEVENTH

Will Be Out in Elaborate Style
Saturday, Feb. 18th.

On Saturday, Feb. 19, the
Forum will be seven years old,
having made its debut in the jour
nalistic arena Feb. II, 1904, and
missed only three Saturdays since
that time, two editions having
missed Aug. % and 20, 1908, and
one Dec. II, 1910.
In honor Of our seventh year of
existence, we desire to put on a
few finishing touches and issue a
big edition, with several hundred
extra copies. We shall also have
some special poems and articles by
some of our literary contributors
and a reproduction of our staff at
that time and some of our art
icles. We shall be pleased to get
some kind of an ad from every
colored business man and many
of our white business firms who
generally rally to these efforts.
We shall also be pleased to give
special space to candidates, who
may desire to state their plat
forms. We give better and larger
write-ups than any paper in the

Mr.. Frank Macpherson of the Bos-
ton Store, a Candidate.

Young Mr. Frank Macpherson of the
Boston Store, is a candidate for COM
missioner Mr.. Macpherson is not a
politician, but essentially a business
man, being in charge of affairs of this
noted enterprise on the east side of
the square. He was reared here, and
attended the schools of the city,
graduating from the high school. The
fact that under the commission form
mans ability to handle private
business or that of a corporation is
the only real test of his fitness places
this young man among the fittest of
the whole galaxy. He is well known
and his accomplishments are not in
the equation-that being we'll nigh
beyond question. 1t does not take a
man versed in politics or schemes, to
make a good commissioner but on
the contrary, he must be versed in
business management and have a
good education and he should have a
good character. He should also be
man who believes in the fair and
square deal being done by ALL the
most humble as well as the most ex-
alted. We have reason to believe
that Mr.. Macpherson is a man of this
type. There is nothing to the con
trary. SO far as the colored people
are concerned, they are for such men.

Colored people have received bet
ter and fairer consideration at his
hands than probably any other
man in a like position in the city.
He does not only give them good
wages and good employment, but
good treatment and the best

mess man eminently fits him for
such position. He is thoroughly
