Farmer Manager Of Union Light Co. ID
Here Regarding Diiworth
Extension Line.

Il am just up in the city for a
few days" said Samuel Kahn of Chi
cago and formerly of this city to- a
Forum representative in the Gardner
hotel lobby today. II arrived last
evening and will probably remain UNI
til the latter part of the week.
Il always enjoy the opportunity of
returning to Fargo even IL only for a
few days, because it serves to keep
me in touch with my friends here.
This time while I am here on business
in connection with the affairs of the
Byllesby company, / am having the
pleasure of meeting many OF my old
acquaintance in the city whom l count
among my best friends.
Fargo is showing a decided inn
provement every visit 1 make. / ex-
pect l can notice it more than those
who are here all the time"

Evening Grain Letter.

Chicago. March 26.-Wheat-The
market opened steady to q shade frm-
Ell. ruled easy during the early session
and prices advanced nearly cent
from the low point during the latter
part Of the session. The May delivery
seemed to receive support around
L.02M, supposedly from the same in
terests who were the sellers yester-
day. Reports of some winter wheat
worked at the sea-board for Antwerp
helped to steady prices. The spring
wheat markets Jagged again today as
compared with our own. The market
showed a somewhat better undertone
today, with more buying by commits
sion houses of the new crop deliveries.
There were numerous reports here
from the country claiming damage to
winter wheat and We are quite pre-
pared to find a considerable amount OF
news of this character, especially from
points east OF the river, during the
next few weeks and therefore feel that
the long side of July wheat on the
weak spots is advisable.

revolution, in which the Shah had been
overthrown M a constitutional gov
eminent adopted. The country was in
a state of lawlessness and very few
taxes had been collected for several
years.
"The first thing we did was to
organize a constabulary and place it
in charge of American officers who
had been in service in the Philippine
islands. With this force we began to
collect taxes by force and made very
rapid progress. The taxes were not
collected in cash, but in wheat. cots
ton, oats, n other agricultural pro-
ducts, each person being supposed to
give the government 10 per cent of the
products of his land. This system was
established in Biblical times and has
been in force constantly ever since.
Twenty per cent was collected from
the crown lands, which comprise the
greater part of the Persian empire.

present. The plaintiff AYERS that at
least twenty persons were thus al
lowed to mark their ballots.
Further contention is made in the
contest charges that twenty-five per-
son who were not residents were per-
mitted to vote and that their ballots
were cast for Candidate Sweet. Also
it is contended that 80 votes were cast
by persons not registered before cleo
ton as voters.
In speaking of the service Of these
papers, Mr.. Sweet said: MY certifi-
cate of election vas issued from the
city auditors Office yesterday. 1 have
also been served with a notice that
the election will be contested at this
time. We have no fear of the results
as our investigation up to the present
are perfectly satisfactory. I feel salts
fed that the judge of election in
the Seventh VAR conducted the pro-
ceedings according to law and 1 am
confident that my election was fairly
and honestly won. ANY further state
ments in reference to the case should
be made by my attorneys" .
Pollock & Pollock and Emerson H,
Smith have been retained as counsel
for Mr.. Sweet. r. NJ. Pollock was
asked If he had anything further to
state supplementary to the statement
OF his client and said:
"This is a lawsuit that interests the
whole city and we r willing to CO.
operate with counsel for the plaintiff
In urging a speedy trial" .
The plaintiff, Mr.. Jordan, has re-
tanned Judge w. H. Barnett and Judge
Edward Engerud to represent him in
this matter. Neither Mr.. Jordan nor
his attorneys had any statement to
give out today for publication.
1t is understood that the attorneys
for Mr.. Sweet will call for a bill OF
particulars in which the name OF
every man alleged by the plaintiff tc
have voted illegally will be demanded
to be revealed. An unconfirmed u
NOR is current that the plaintiffs
counsel is fully prepared to answer
every one of these requests.
Also it is reported that a number OF
students of the agricultural college
who voted at the recent city election
will be called as witnesses by the
defense, showing they had a right to
vote in this city at that time.
Should the suit in the district court
require longer than from now until
April 16 for trial 1t will not prevent
either Of the two candidates in the
recent municipal contest, MI. Jordan
or Mr.. Sweet, from taking the Office
of mayor when a decision is made in
favor of one or the other.

Good Performances Of The Nautical
Knot by Fargoans at the Normal.
Fargo College conservatory comic
opera singers gave a splendid per-
Torrance of the operetta, The Nauti-
cal. Knot, which was sung to the ac-
compartment of the regular orchestra
from the Fargo operahouse and was
under the general direction of Bert
rand Alan Orr, head of the conserva-
tory, last night at the state normal
school under the auspices Of the
Junior class. There was a. very fair
audience, but the spirit of enthusiasm
and appreciation was ample, to inspire
the principals and chorus to a high
pitch.
The caste was the same used in the
production given a week or two ago in
Fargo. There was a snap and GO
to- the performance last night which
seemed to please the audience i'm
mensely and the several gems in the
opera had to be repeated. Mrs. Ste
phens as Julia won her share OF
plaudits from the first and she kept
things going when she was on the
stage. She was very ably supported
by Miss Huntoon, Paul Bunce, Tom
Mckee, F.. III. Talbot, Margaret New
ton, Edith Marden. Miss Conant, Lyle
Davis and Alfred Hauser.
The enterprise of the juniors means
a satisfactory addition to the Golfers
Of the class as well as supplying a
very enjoyable entertainment for their
friends. Many favorable comments
were heard today of the finished work
done by the Fargoans.
