ONLY TAKING OUT WRINKLES

Hotel STAFF.

The couple had been travelling and
the wife's gowns had got wrinkled.
After dressing they went to the thea
ter, having previously unpacked the
trunks, hung al the wrinkled dresses
up in the bathroom and then filed the
bathtub with hot water.
Not long after their departure per
sons passing along the corridor mo-
ticed something that looked like
smoke coming out through the open
transom. and an alarm Of IRE was
given. One of the managers and q
lot of porters and bellboys, some
armed with fire extinguishers. rushed
up to the scene. Things looked seri-
Gus.
The manager produced his pass key
and the brave followers prepared to
rush in and distinguish themselves.
The steam was so thick In the room
that not a thing could be seen. One
look established that the vapor was
not smoke. When the travelled couple
got back to the hotel they found an
irate manager and q lot Of soaked
frocks. The woman said she had
often taken the wrinkles out OF dress
es by steam bath and she didn't see
why tho hot water was kept so very
hot anyhow, for goodness knew that
nobody wanted to take bath In boil
ing water.

PAYROLL SYSTEM
FOR COUNTY HELP
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS HAVE
ADOPTED A NEW METHOD or
PAYING SALARIES OF COUNTY
OFFICIALS AND HELP-oTHER
MATTERS.

The board of commissioners Of Cass
county have adopted a new salary pay
ment system which tends to be much
more satisfactory to the employees and
win be great saving Of time to the
county commissioners.
Under the plan inaugurated the of
flcials of the county and employees
will be given the pay in cash at the
end OF every month, The county treas
urer will make the payments from a
payroll to be carried by him.
The payroll will be presented at each
meeting OF the county commissioners
at the first Of every month. and they
will pass upon it and approve of the
salaries.
Heretofore the commissioners have
received a bin for the salary OF each
official and employee every month. and
separately passed upon each. The SAL
aries Of the officials are fixed by law
and the salaries of the clerks are
named at the first meeting held in
January, In this manner the bills
presented every month are exactly the
same and caused good deal of trou-
BILE to the commissioners.
At the meeting Of the commissioners
this morning they allowed contract to
Craig Bros. for the construction Of
fire escapes on the county hospital.
The contract price is named at $3.50.
This morning the commissioners

FARGO PARTISANS
START A War
BIG ROW GROWING OUT OF THE
ITALIAN-TURkIsH WAR START.
ED ON FRONT STREET TO-DAY,
REAL CAUSE WAS RELIGIOUS
DEBATE.

The seat Of the war between Italy
and Turkey shifted to Fargo this aft
ernoon when free for all fight start
ed over discussion OF religion by a
number of men ON Front street.
Alex Cash and Albert Davis. two
Turks, defended the honor OF their
native land, while Bob Bouslain. Nick
Kusukitie, two Greeks, with Mrs. Geo.
Annie Economies, Charley Suckeys. ali
Assyrians, fought the battles of Italy
on the basis Of religion. All the
parties are under arrest.
The fight occurred shortly after din
ner and had its origination from the
conversation OF two men standing in
front Of restaurant on Front street
and talking about the number OF bat
teships sunk in the recent Turkish
Italian outbreak Inside the restau-
rant the conversation was overheard
and taken up.
The defenders Of Italy's honor were
all Catholics, although not Roman
Catholics, and 1t was for the sake OF
their fellow brothers in religion that
they fought SO valiantly for Italy. AS
Catholics they argued their tongue
battle and as Mohamedans Asset and
Cash took up the cry.
The battle of words did not last
long when fight started. Just who
started the mimic warfare seems to
be a mystery. Annie Economies says
that Asset and Cash started 1t by
fighting with her. Asset says that he
started to fight with Nick Kusukitie,
and claims that the latter started the
melee.
Suffice to say, whoever started it,
that person did a good job, for 1t was
not long before there was two women
and four men in II, while Bob Bous-
lair assisted in getting his fighting
friends out OF the restaurant.
Annie Economies suffered the worst
of the bunch. She was struck about
the head and face and her clothing
was all spattered with blood when
the day had been settled by the ar
rival Of Officer Johnson. Mrs. George
is not young lady and her wounds
will go hard with her. She received
a hard blow 1t the back of the head.
The feeling among the contending-
parties was exceedingly warm after
they were taken to the police sta
ton. At times the officers had trouble
in keeping them quiet and Asset was
particularly emphatic in his words.
Several countrymen of the contending
parties gathered at the station to be
necessity for such should arise.

PoLITENEss OUT OF PLACE
Old Lawyer Did Not Want rsis Client
to Think He Could Get

Politeness Is politeness, but bu1i-

combine the two the other day, but

persons who visit the New York coun-

Ing in the corridor on the second door
when two men came along. one OF
them gray haired. The younger one
asked the elder the way out of the
building. The clerk heard the query
and at once told the questioner sew
eral ways he could get out The older
man turned on the clerk with the In
junction to mind his own business,
adding that he had been In the build

could himself answer his companion.
A little later the old man looked up
the clerk and apoIogized, explaining
that the man who wanted 10 know
how to get out OF the building was
his client and that he did not want
him to get the idea that he could re-
ceive free advice. III he gets that
