PROHIBITION RALLIES
Enthusiasm Is Growing Steadily All
Along the Line.

The prohibition campaign IS growing
into activity as the days are nearing the
date of the election, which is Thursday,
June 1.
How ill-timed is the day, but it was
the opportunity offered by the death OF
one who gave the majority for riding
over the minority which was helpless.
The first of June is the anniversary
of the birth of Jefferson Davis and is
LEGAL holiday. In the years past the
Daughters of the Confederacy and the
Confederate Veterans and their friends
observed the day by decorating the
graves of the dead and with appropriate
ceremonies, but on that day the Veter-
ans will be at tn epolls with some of the
Daughters of the Confederacy and their
friends facing the common enemy, the
saloon.
The very thought of the saloon being
fastened on this city and parish is re-
voting.
And for whose good
| In the meantime the prohibitionists
and all good citizens who are opposed
to a return and revival of the saloon
with all its attendant evils will continue
to be active
Last Saturday there was held a pro
rally at Vivian. Over two hundred peo-
| o1a st,,,d;,,c, ~, tI,a ctrontc haart T,,doa
Pugh. Rev. c. L. Jones, Judge Hall and
others discuss the saloon and its evil.
At Myrtis there was successful rally
of the pros.
On Sunday there were three rallies in
this city at the churches, not to mention
the big rally at the court house Friday
night
| Monday night there was rally in
the Ninth Ward where Judge Pugh and
others addressed an enthusiastic gather
ing. A telling point was made by Judge
Pugh He said that it had been reported
that many voters of the Ninth Ward
would sell out on the day of election. 1t
was understood that the money with
which to buy was already at hand. The
buying of votes was a crime and the
man who offered to buy was a greater
criminal than the man who would sell
out 1t now rested on the men of the
Ninth Ward to refute this statement by
voting against the saloon. If he were
one of the Ninth Ward he would resent
personally any reflection of the kind. He
pictured the happy condition of the citi-
zens of the ward, including their fatni-
hes, who were enjoying peace and pros
perity How all this would be changed
If the saloon should again be returned
when the saloon would absorb the wages
of the toilers and how the families
would suffer correspondingly from the
evils of the saloon.

Held CAPTIVE
in A BOX CAR
FIVE MEN ARE KEPT BEHIND
NAILED DOORS UNTIL OF.
FlcER is SECURED.

jamestown, N. D., May 6.-wig-
Cling their way into box car without
breaking the seal and then having the
door nailed fast upon them by a sleuth-
ful train hand, five young men pro-
Tossing to be on a still hunt for a Job
were hauled into Jamestown. An of
nicer was summoned and was in wait
ing to nab them as the trainman UNI
fastened the door of their prison.
When brought before Judge James
A. Murphy later in the morning the
young men pleaded guilty to vagrancy,
but objected stoutly to any charge of
larceny. The justice agreed with them
regarding the latter charge, hold that
the men locked in a box car could
steal nothing out of it. He continued
their case for thirty days.
Three of the prisoners gave their
age as IL and the others only few
years older. Part of them said they
were from st. Paul and claimed to be
on their way west in search of work.
1t was brought out at the hearing
that the men or boys boarded the train
at Fargo. The trainman saw them and
without asking them if they had passes
to ride on freight trains or if they
were friends Of the president uncere-
moniously spiked the doors and brought
them along with him to jamestown.

HITCH over MAIL
SERVICE TO MOTT

Mandan, N. D.. May cit is evident
that there has been a big hitch some
where in getting mail service started
from Mandan to Mott. Steps were
taken several weeks ago to get mail
service going but there has been con-
siderable jockeying in the postoffice
department somewhere evidently be-
cause of the fact that the Milwaukee
had several months ago been given
a contract for carrying the mail to
Mott.
A letter received from the second
assistant postmaster general carries
the information that on April % a
proposition for service had been made
the Northern Pacific and as soon as
1t was accepted service would be ar
ranged Though no official information
as to what the postal proposition to
the Northern Pacific has been received
It has been intimated that the officials
want the Northern Pacific to accept a
contract for carrying mail from Man
dan to Carson, letting the Mott mail
go around by way of Miles City, per-
haps around the world would be as
satisfactory. This it was understood
was not considered by the N. p. and
certainly should not be. We want and
are entitled to mail service, a mail car
from Mandan to Mott. 1t is possible
that within few days some further
information may be received; in any
event we are for a descent service, and
the proposal to have mail from Man
dan to Fallon carried way around to
Miles City, back to Mclaughlin, up to
Raleigh and then across the tracks Of
the N. P. is ridiculous.
A letter received late this week by
c. L. Zimmerman from abe Northern
Pacific railroad states that they have
instructed their representatives in
Washington to make a contract with
the government for the carrying Of
mail over the south line from Man
dan to Mott.
The matter is now up to the govern
ment and just how soon they will act
in the matter cannot be known, but
the people of Mandan and along the
Northern Pacific is deserving of a
great deal Of credit in the effort they
have made to get the service.

Nine years ago noticed bald SPOT

nineteen years old, il did not seem
natural, as it was on the side Of nv

advised my seeing dermatologist and
did so, one Of the best in Boston, and
he said it was due to q germ I must
have got at the BARRIERS. He couldn't
assure q cure, but by treating each hair
separately by electricity, he said, the
hair might como out white or gray, II
1t came out at all. He proposed giving
me Q treatment every month for six
months at ten dollars a treatment.
When / told my mother she advised
using Cutioura and this I did using
Cuttcura Soap and Ointment every day.
In two months my hair commenced TO
grow, and IN six months one would
never have known there had been any
trouble, the hair coming out being black,
the exact shade of my own. / have
never had any trouble since, and feel
can't say half enough for Cuticura.
Another member OF our family was
terribly poisoned by poison ivy and
every summer for six years the blisters
came, bursting and causing great suffer-

by the best Physicians. but with no
good result. Finally we tried Cuticura
and obtained relief in very short time

old LANDMARK OF
MAEDAN BURNED

Mandan, ". D.. May Sire broke
out in the old Gilbert photograph gall
lery on East Main street and but for
the excellent work of the fire depart
ment it would have unquestionably
resulted in the destruction of other
buildings in that section of the city.
The flames started. it is thought, from
defective fiue and famed by the
southeasterly winds they soon spread
over the entire building, and would
have resulted in a terrible confagra-
ton if 1t had not been handled properly
at the state. The fire would
have been extinguished, is the
opinion of many, if the water pressure
had been sufficient. but it was some
time before the pressure really became
strong enough for the firemen to do
anything with the flames.
AS it is the building is wreck and
cannot be repaired, but the flames
were confined to that building alone
and were not allowed to escape to adj
joining buildings. Four families lived
in the building and they were able to
save nearly everything. Al piano be-
longing to Mrs. Meacham. however
got caught in the flames and was de-
stroyed. The four families that occu-
pied the building We're Mrs. Meacham
Fred Parker, Roy Kuntz and Mrs
May.
This building is one OF the first
buildings to be erected in the city of
Mandan. 1t was built in 1881, Just
thirty years ago, and with its des-
truction passes the oldest business
building in the city that had been left
standing and the second business
building to be erected.

FRACTURED Hip.

Lakota, N. d., May 6.--Mrs. T. j.
Bird met with a serious and very
painful accident last Saturday after
noon while going about her household
duties. She was standing on a low
stool putting away some linen in a
wardrobe when she lost her balance
and fell to the floor fracturing her
hip. Medical aid was at once sum-
moned and the fracture reduced and
at the present writing she is getting
along as well as could be expected.
