Why Man Was Created.

w. e. Amburgh, the well known lee
rurer OF New York city, is a visitor
in the city. Many OF the prominent
papers Of the east, daily and weekly.
commend his lectures and give promi-
nent reports Of them. He was a rail-
road man for over sixteen years, and
only gave up that work to enter the
more public field. Beginning in a
small way his lectures soon attracted
attention and were called for in many
places. AT present he is unable to
respond to all these calls. Being a
deep student of the Bible he took up
a special course of study to ascertain.
If possible, an answer to some of the
questions which he met in everyday
life. Why had God made the world.
II He was going to burn 1t up SO soon?
Why did He give man such a love for
earth If He was going to take him to
heaven later? II He had the power.
why did He not put a stop to the sin
and suffering in the world? What was
man created for? The answer to
these and many other equally inter-
esting questions he promises to give
in his discourse, ana further to afford
his hearers the privilege Of asking
any others pertaining to the subject,
after the lecture. Mr.. Van Amburgh is
giving his time TO the work free, and
does o allow Any admission to be
charged. or collection taken. He will
lecture tonight at Assembly hall at
1880 o'clock.

FARGO CONCERN

FIRMS WHICH is DOING MUCH
FOR THE UPRuILpING OF THIS
CITY AND THE SURROUNDING

and building materials in quantity
that is not exceeded by any yard in
this section OF the northwest and ia
cilities for delivery in large or small
quantities to all parts Of this city and
adjacent territory.
The local plant of the company was
established about twenty-six years
ago, in 1908, being purchased from the
North Star Lumber Co., and organic
ed as a Fargo and North Dakota i'm
~stitution under the present firm name.
The yards occupy the site at 122-12S
N. P. avenue, running back 200 feet
to the Northern Pacific tracks, on
which they have a frontage OF about
200 feet.

DECISIONS OF The
SUPREME COURT

In the Supreme Court, State Of North
Dakota, April, 1912, Term.
Katie NJ. Smith, plaintiff and re-
pendent, VS.. The Courant Co., a cor
poration, defendant and appellant, and
A. E. Lindstrom, ]. H. WEIGH, H, WEEK
seth and the Patrons Exchange, a cor
poration, garnishee defendants.
/. One s. vas employed to edit a
newspaper and manage a printing
plant belonging to defendant, for a
short time. In the conduct Of the
business he made collections and de-
posted them to the credit of defendant
in a bank, and drew checks on the ac-
count to pay bills for help and sup
plies. On the termination Of his en-
ployment the account in the bank was
o~verdrawn, and checks which he had
drawn in payment for help were CASH
ed by S. from money in his hands as
agent of his wife, the plaintiff, with
her knowledge of all the facts, and the
checks endorsed to her. After his
connection with the defendant ceased,
such checks were dishonored by the
bank for want of funds, and payment
thereon refused by defendant. This
dSIfOn Is pE0ushA upJu 90 GuSh CuSCAS.
The defense is a general denial. On
the trial the court refused to permit
defendant to introduce evidence tend
ing to show an agreement between 1T
and s. that he was to be limited in his
expenditures for the conduct Of the
business to profits or receipts from
the business. AS such evidence would
have shown want Of authority on the
part of S. to draw checks in excess of
the profits or receipts, such ruling con-
stituted reversible error.
2. When s. was employed by de-
PENDANT a disagreement arose as to the
compensation he should receive for his
services, defendant refusing to agree
to pay the sum demanded, and the
amount to be paid him was left for
future determination. No further
agreement was ever reached thereon.
Among the checks in suit were a num-
Der drawn to s., signed by him in the
name of defendant, and endorsed to
plaintiff, and paid to him out Of funds
belonging to plaintiff, without the
knowledge of defendant. Held, that in
as much as he was, at the same time,
acting for defendant, In his own behalf,
and as agent for the plaintiff, and
their interests were in conflict, his acts
in the premises were not the acts of
the defendant.
Held further, that he had no right.
The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1912-05-15

under the facts disclosed, to fix his own
compensation at the sum which the
defendant had refused to pay, and that
for this reason the checks drawn In
his favor were drawn without author
ity, and are not the checks of the de-
PENDANT.
q. 3. Held, under the facts, that plain
tiff was not a holder Of the checks IN
suit in due course.
4. On the facts recited in the opin-
ion it Is held, that there was no rati-
fication of the acts of S. in issuing and
honoying the checks in suit, and that,
not having knowledge that he was do
ing So, defendant vas not estopped to
question his authority.

IN THE HOTEL LOBBIES

Conditions were never better
throughout the state than right at the
present time from an agricultural
standpoint" said w. c. Gilbreath of
Bismarck, commissioner of agriculture
and labor to a Forum representative at
the Gardner hotel last evening. Never
in my recollection have they been more
desirable in the whole state and could
not have been better If we had or
dered things just as they are. If every
thing continues we ought to have an
excellent year"
Everything is looking prosperous up
through our part of the country said
Fred 7. Cuthbert, one of the prominent
attorneys Of Devils Lake and former
law partner of Governor Burke. to a
Forum representative today in the
MetropoIe hotel lobby. 'aThis year the
subsoiI is getting a good supply Of
moisture that will be beneficial SO that
ia case that we do not have much rain
