MRS A. Will SON
CALLED 6 I. |: BY DEATH

Friends in the city Of the E. a. Will
son family at Fargo were shocked to
receive the sad intelligence Of the sud-
den death Of Mrs. w ilson which occur
ed at her home in Fargo in the early
morning hours. During the building
of the big Great Northern Hotel Mr..
Wilson in his capacity Of president Of
the North Dakota Improvement Co.,
the builders, spent much time in Devils
Lake and Mrs. Wilson accompanied
him. With her small son Jack Mrs.
Wilson spent most Of the summer here
and endeared her self to a warm circle
of friends during her stay Three
weeks ago Mrs. Wilson gave birth to
a son who did not survive. Since that
time she rallied and her family and
friends had no thought but that her re-
Ecovery was certain. She grieved very
much ove1 the loss Of the little one and
that combined with heart failure was
probably the cause Of her sudden de-
mise. 3$sssa. m Il
Mrs. Ralph Mayer left 1.-The early
train to be with the stricken family.
The deepest sympathy Of warm
circle8of friends throughout the state
will go out to them. Mrs. Wilson was
a woman Of culture, possessed Of many
splendid womanly qualities that made
her loved BY All who knew her, and the
grief at her sudden passing away win
be genuine and heartfelt. AZ

TO VOTE ON NOVEMBER 6
Appointment of Herman Rutten as
City Assessor Is Confirmed
by Council
TO VOTE ON NOVEMBER s

At the regular meeting of the city
council on Monday evening last it was
decided by that August body to call
for special election on Nov. 9Th TO
determine whether the people of Dew
lis Lake wanted to tax themselves
some higher than they are now taxed
for the purpose of building municipal
electric light plant. A resolution was
introduced to this effect by Alderman
Ohnstad and carried. The evenings
meeting went rather smoothly altho
Alderman Avery Johnson expressed
himself quite frankly that he believed
there were some high-handed proceed
ings in the whole thing. He voted
"yes" but said he thought if right me-
thods had been used the proper rates
could have been obtained from the
Devils Lake Improvement company
without putting the people of Devils
Lake to this extra taxation. The res
olution proposed to sell bonds in the
sum of $4,000, these bonds to draw
5 per cent interest and run for twenty
years.
The appointment of Herman Rutten
for assessor for two years was made
by Mayor McClory. Alderman Har-
ris wants drinking fountain but his
resolution asking for one to be install
ed. in the business part of the city did
not go far owing to the shortness OF
the city's financial condition It de-
veloped that the Bisecker Co., of Fes-
senden are still holding up the $1e,seo
bonds for the fire hall and work on
that new structure is still at a stand
still. The mayor announced the bonds
were being Autographed but there aris-s
es doubt in the minds of some peo-
pie as to whether the company are
holding up these bonds on accountof
the bungling of the city in formalities
as to a legal paper, etc. Anyway it's
taking a long time to do this 1.-the
graphing and when they are completed
if time be any criterion they will be I
beautiful. The next meeting of the
council will be on Oct 18th.

Texas suffered so long continued and

We have recently passed through
one of the hardest fought STATE wide

ever had and out of 500, 900 votes cast
the ants only beat US 5000. In 1887
in a like contest the constitutional
amendment was defeated by $4,000
votes, so you see the change of senti-

local option laws the greater part of
Texas at present, is dry, but in the
greater cities there is little hope of
ever putting the saloons out by local
