COM'R. LANG is FIRED

After six years of faithful service as
street commissioner of Devils Lake,
and with no charges brought against
him, Mr.. Lang has received his walk
ing papers. That Mr. Lang has been a
faithful servant of the city no one can
deny. Mr.. Whitman, the former
mayor declared often he was one of
the best workers for the city's good
in Devils Lake. His work was always
up to the highest standard with streets,
sewers and everything he had charge
of, kept in fine shape. He has been
faithful, and wherein other men in his
position would have demanded a few
men to boss all the time, and would
have worn a white collar themselves,
Mr.. Lang has always been right on
the job with pick and shovel Often
times he has done the work of two and
three without murmur, thereby saving
the city great expense. 1t will, without
doubt, be generally regretted that the
mayor has seen At to take such action.
Why do people run across the post
offc grounds Because there is a notice
prohibiting walking" on them.
Mrs. c. W. Greene is up from Min
neapolis for a few days visit.
President E. A. Wilson and Secretary
Farmer of the North Dakota Improve
ment Co., of Fargo, were up on We'd

From the Chicago News.
 Poker is perhaps the most expensive
 pastime of the American people. It Is called many different names, such as staying with a sick friend" Directors meeting at the office" etc. The game is played with round celluloid disks placed in the center of the table by the contest ants The object is to see how few you can put up and how many you can take out.
 To make the game more interesting or dinary playing cards are used, and the distribution of the chips is occasionally Interrupted by discussions over the rela-
 tive merits of the hands held. It is a great sport to try to make your fellow
 players think that you have more :n your
 hand than you really have. This Is a
 form of deceit but it is considered ethical
 in poker.
 There is much money in poker, but it is usually the others that get away with it. The only way to be sure of coming out
 ahead in a poker game is to pull gun and make all the players hold up their hands. Then you should collect what is on the table and in the players pockets
 and come out as far ahead as you can, carefully locking the door after you.
 Clubrooms where poker and other kin dred games are played are sometimes wis., ited by delegates who come most unex- pectedly. They always knock before they enter sometimes with axes and crowhars.

Bresnahans followers started out strong in the first game, and Max Carey in middle field for Pittsburg failed to connect with hot one that let in the tally for the inning. Several times a tie was threatened, but the game ended 1 to s for St. Louis.

BARONS HAVE GOOD CHANGE
 TO SNATCH LEAGUE PENNANT

ond at 2:3O o'clock in the afternoon. On account of the brilliant squirt of the Barons, baseball fever is raging here at the present moment, and 1t is safe to predict that a fine holiday crowd will witness the battles on Labor day.
 The Barons this evening will have com pleted one of the most trying trips ever made in the Southern league. Every city in the circuit will have been visited. The Barons to date have played 19 games on this excursion, of which number Il resulted in victnies for them.
 Not only was the trip harassng, but Jimmy Johnston's injury necessarily had an effect on the staying qualities of tfe bunch. With one of the stars stricken, many other teams would have wiltered and cried-"calf rope!'
 The fans will welcome the Barons to- morrow as they deserve to be welcomed.
 And as stated, if the Barons play good ball during the ensuing week, the chances are that they will win the pennant. II this stunt Is accomplished it will be after the gamest fight. ever made in the his tory of the Southern league H. w. R.

The Barons are now within striking dis tance of the Pelicans, and, to our notion, stand an equal chance to win the pen nant of the league.
 We are sanguine. The defeat of the Pels and Billikens in five of six games on foreign territory indicates that the Barons compose the best club of the league in hitting. fielding, knowledge of the game, base running, daring, brilliance and nerve"
 The indications. too, are that the Barons are going to continue their present fine gait and that the Pelicans are slipping just a little.
