| According to all records collected in
the vital statistics of North Dakota,
this city was decidedly shy in the mat
ter of births and equally shy in the
number of deaths, not one being re-
corded in the city. In Ramsey county
however, it was different, the stork de-
feating the grim reaper about two to
.one, there being twelve births and
five deaths.
| Great Interest is being maifest in the
approaching Easter ball which is to
be given by the soldier boys. The COM
pany has been preparing diligently for
the event, which will have plenty of
military coloring and add to the pleas

ciety function. In the dance line the
soldiers have never failed and on this
particular occasion they promise to sur
pass all previous attempts.
The orchestra (which has come in

musicians but lack of team work, was
excellent last evening at the production
Of "The Barrier.' Devils Lake is
coming to its own in the establishment
Of an orchestra. It is as necessary as

played between acts last evening did

tempts.

it so well deserved. Those who attend
ed were thrilled at it's every scene and
applause greeted the performers at the
critical turning points to the stellar
production. Not one Of the characters
could have been improved upon and it
certain that the company now touring
the west is the best that has ever Civ

Beach's popular work. To mention
those who took part would not be wise
in the fear that all would not get all
, they deserved and it is sufficient to say
that each and evry one who appeared
lived their parts and nothing more
could be asked of an actor or actress.
The canvassing board has completed
its duties as result of which there
wos no material change in the volss
, received by the various candidates,
other than has been previously an
nounced in The World. It took day g
time to complete the work, even though
the vote was unusually small.
A new venture is being started by
