The above telegram to Mayor
Paulk is self explanatory.
Mr.. Kicker will take hold of the
postoffice sometime this week, IN
all probability
Mr.. Kicker promises Fitzgerald
a first class business administration,
of the post office, and we are ex-
pecting an administration fully up
to Fitzgerald's growing requirements.
The post office is one institution
that effects every citizen and is
particularly important to the bust
ness people. The prompt handling
of the mails, both as to arrivals
and departures is of the utmost
importance.
The hours of closing the out 60
ing mails should be we'll understood,
and proper regard for the con-
venience of the public should be
exercised by the post master and
his assistants.
We believe that Mr.. Kicker will
handle the office to the very best
interest of the community, and
the patrons, and not fall into the
common error of treating it a sine
cure.
The Enterprise is not going to
make any suggestion to Post Mas
ter Kicker for we believe that he
will institute whatever changes
that may become apparent as the
business increases, and the city
grows.
We hope that the Office will soon
out grow its present quarters, and
that congress will give us suita-
BILE building at an early date.
Postmaster Kicker. we salute you.

MEETING
IN MINNEAPOLIS
z. ). WElsER AND PROF. q. w.
RANDLETT ARE ATTENDING
BIG MEETING IN MINNEAPOLIS
TODAY or THE NORTHWEST
ERIN BOOSTERS.


Prof. @. w. Randlett Of the A. G
and F. J. Weiser OF the First National
bank left last night for Minneapolis
where today they are attending a big
meeting Of the boosters of the north
west at the Radisson hotel. The local
men are expected to take a prominent
part In the Minneapolis boosters
gathering, which IL to promote the
interests OF Minnesota and North Da-
kota.
/ The jamestown Alert says Of the
/ movement:
| J. J. Nierling, president Of the
Citizens National bank and director
for Stutsman county OF The One Hun
dred Dollar an Acre club of North
Dakota, left today to attend meeting
of the directors to be held at the
Radisson hotel. Minneapolis, Tuesday,
when the nine directors of the North
Dakota association viii meet a similar
association representing Minnesota,
together with a delegation of the twin
city financiers. They win confer with
special representative of the United
States government agricultural de-
partment Mr.. Galloway. The confer
ei1ce will be to consider the most prac-
tical means Of lettering the farming
conditions in Minnesota and North
Dakota.
The plan in q nutshell, states Mr.,
Nierling, Is to encourage diversified
farming, dairying and poultry rais-
ing. The North Dakota association ID

association. E. ]. Weiser of Fargo Is

distributed over the state. Mr.. Nier-
ling states that contrary TO the opin-
ion OF some, the One Hundred Dollar
an Acre club is not a land booneinu
proposition. That considerable money
will be expended but not for advertis-
Ing and booming North Dakota lands
among the prospective investors and
farmers south and east, in order to
get high prices for North Dakota soil,
but to actually better the farming con-
ditions Of North Dakota AS an EXAM
pie OF how this may be brought about
he advocates the judicious placing of
stock, cattle and hogs, dairy cows,
with industrious. intelligent and re-
liable farmers, perhaps as a loan, the
farmers 20 pay Tor the loan from the
earnings. The state may be divided
into counties and the competent SUI
perintendent or custodian placed to
advise and watch the progress of each
loan. The transformation from
strictly wheat growing state to a state
OF diversified farming takes time and
money, but when the change is
wrought the increased value of the
land Will result automatically. The
twin city flnanciers are greatly inter
ested In this improved condition of
the North Dakota farmer. When the
investment seeker sees this country
raising corn, and feeding the corn to
cattle, dairy cows and hogs then he
will be willing to pay a high price
and the land will be worth it.

FLORENCE ALCOX
GIVEN DIVORCE
MAN WHO BRINGS ACTION TO
GET DIVORCE FROM HIS WIFE.
HAS TABLES TuRNED-couRT
HANDS DOWN DECREE FAVOR.
ING THE DEFENDANT.

This morning the divorce suit of a.
G. Alcox against Florence Alcox ended
in the district court before Judge Pol
lock, and the court handed down a de-
cree which was decidedly against the
plaintifr and favoring the defendant.
Although the plaintiff asked for a
divorce on the grounds of cruel and in
human treatment, the court gave an
order tor judgment in favor of the de-
PENDANT granting her a decree of abb
solute divorce. She also gets the GUS
tody of their minor child, Bernice.
The court further ordered that the
property now In the defendants name
should remain in her possession and
name. 1t also ordered that the plain
tiff could not in anyway dispose OF
his property until the final division of
the common property held by the con-
tending parties. The alimony and at
torneys' fees In the action will be adj
justed as soon as the common pro-
perty held by the two Is sold.
In speaking of the case the court
stated that there was not a syllable OF
evidence offered that would cast any
reflection upon the character OF the
defendant. Furthermore there was
nothing stated that would cast any
reflection upon the witness. H. b.
Gardener, as was intimated The jurist
said that these two were entitled to
be exonerated on any charge Of sus-
picion whatsoever.
The testimony OF the minor child,
Bernice, was commented upon by the
court, which commeded her discrimi-
mating intelligence The court furth-
ermore suggested to the parents OF
the little girl that they should not let
their trouble in anyway interfere with
the development Of the child who
seems to be an exceptionally bright
| little girl.
The plaintiff was arraigned In no
light terms by the court in handing
down its decree. The case WAS sub
mitted to the court, upon the agree
/ ment Of the attorneys, without argu-
ment, it already having lasted much
/ longer than was expected. Barnett g
Richardson and NJ. "A. Hiidreth repre-
i scented the defendant Tn the action.

RroomhaIl's Report.

Liverpool, July 1.-The American
strength together with smaller tenders
on contract caused a steady opening
here with prices u higher. Following
the opening there some tendency to
take profits on the dullness of demand
and continued free Platte offers. Later,
however, shorts again covered and the
decline was covered on the decrease
In local stocks and less favorable re-
ports from Russia. At the close the
undertone was firm and u higher than
yesterday with the strength in coarse
grains and less favorable reports from
India regarding dryness. After open
ing VI higher corn further advanced
u to n with the strength in July.
Dryness in Russia has reduced offers
there and the continued strength in
America has caused extreme nervous
ness among shorts. A cable received
this morning from our Russian agent
says that the weather is hot and
droughty in the Volga region.

Chicago, July 1.--Wheat-The wheat
market opened Arm on hot. dry wealth
er throughout the northwest, but later
ruled quiet with only a moderate
trade. There was very little DISPOSE
ton TO enter into new contracts pend
ing the holidays. Deliveries on July
contracts this morning were very
light only about $4,000 bushels, and
this had tendency to strengthen that
future. The cash demand here was
quiet and the country continues to of
fer new wheat very freely. We do not
look for much change In the market
unless serious damage takes place In
the northwest. If that crop is har-
vested all right we believe that prices
eventually will have to go to an ex-
