Is the long-expected era of dress re-
form in mems evening dress about to
dawn, has been asked repeatedly since
the dinner given last week in honor of
Senator Bradley of Kentucky by rich
constituent of the "blue grass" states
man. Thirty senators attended the din
ner, which was a ''corker' for fair.
But what about the clothes? Mr..
Bradley appeared in pure white from
head to foot, including even white neck
tie. Senator Lodge dazzled the beholders
with crash suit, with Impressed trousers
which seemed foot too long for him.
Senator Bristow was in full evening
dress and he seemed i'll at ease throughout
the affair." He came in with Senator
Brandegee who was tastefully attired
in a pepper and salt sack suit.
Senator John Sharp Williams may be
regarded as an exception to the rule, for
he wore something that might have
passed for evening dress during his
student days in old Heidelberg on the
Natchez about the year 1860. 1t was one
of those rolling collar things that used to
go with Daniel Webster's plug hat. Sena-
tor Bailey, who made one of the most
notable speeches of his career, and also
impressed the guests with his erudition
and his powers of prophesy, wore black,
but not evening dress. The main garment
was what our ancestors used to call
"Prince Albert"

EXPECT TO SEED 1000 ACRES

v. A. Baker was in from Emerson on
Wednesday to unload Rumley separa-
tor and Hart-Parr engine which he is
getting for farming operations in Dunn
county. The engine was purchased
through Robert Plageemier of the Moore
Bros agency, and Mr.. Plaggemier was
along to see that everything was all
right. They did not expect the ma
chinery to, be taken north until the first
of the week.
The Bakers have 800 acres of flax from
the deld to thresh this spring. It will
be turned and dried very soon and
threshing started. Mr.. Baker said that
the field was fenced and he saw no
reason why they should not get q good
yield, even though the fax was not
stacked last fall after it was cut.
This year the Bakers expect to seed
2. 600 acres and will have to break 1, OO0
acres Of, the ground. They have one
traction engine and have purchased q
second to enable them to operate two
plow rigs.

WHITE Way"
Is TALKED
New Ry. Schedule Raises Rates
by Classification. Want Better
Drainage, Wider Walks
More Crossings Etc.

The Commercial Club considered
several important matters Wednesday
night, one being the new freight sched-
ule soon to become effective. It was
learned that several hundred items
were raised by classification and all
business men as we'll as farmers are
vitality interested to know which things
are included in the raise. H. F.
Schroeder was delegated to confer with
the local Merchants Association and
the probabilities are that some one will
be sent east within day or two to look
into the matter. Bel6eld has taken
action and other villages should.
About a year ago the club spoke of
the white Way" of lighting the busi-
ness section of Dickinson and the SUBJ
ject was again opened. w. F. Burnett
made complete report of the way other
cities-Bismarck, Fargo, Grand Forks
and Miles City-had lighted their
streets. The owners of property usually
pay for the post and equipment which
costs perhaps $50 to $50 for each light
and then the city furnishes the current.
Each corner should have post and
probably one midway in the block on
each side of the street. Messrs. Heaton,
Burnett and Lilibridge are committee
to investigate further and report. This
committee is also to look into better
system of drainage that is much
needed. also the widening and repair of
side walks, crossings. etc. A confer
ence will be held with the council on
matters Of this kind.
G. S. Cryne wrote of his desire to
gather exhibits for the state exposition
and the club seemed favorable.
Railroad matters were discussed in a
general way but there was nothing def
mite for report.
The annual club meeting comes on
May and an effort will be made to
have a large attendance and some
special features to interest members.
John Orchard. M. A. Scherfius and ALT.
White became members this week and
there will likely be more for the next
meeting.
Permission was given the band boys
for practice in the club rooms.

Bismarck Tribune: RI. Rev. Vincent
Wefrle, o. S. B.. bishop of the Bis
marck diocese of the Roman Catholic
church. returned to the See City recent
ly after hurried journey to Europe,
where he went on purely business
mission connected with affairs pertain
ing to the welfare of the diocese. His
primary purpose was to secure sisters
for the hospital at Dickinson and for
teaching the parochial schools, and
also to secure students for the diocese.
Bishop Wehrle made the trip from
New York to Southampton via the
North German Lloyd lines. From there
he went to Cherboure, france. and
then into Germany. Austria and Switz-
erland. He visited many of the princi-
pal cities of these countries. and also
spent some time in his old home in
Switzerland. At lngenbohl, Switzer-
land. he secured eight Sisters of the
Holy Cross. who accompanied him
back to North Dakota. Six of them
60 to the new hospital at Dickinson
and two will teach in the parochial
schools. Next fall as many of the sis
ters as are needed here will come over
for service at Dickinson. At Innsbruck.
Tyrol, and other points he visited, he
made arrangements for securing STU
dents for the diocese.
The bishop had very pleasant jour-
hey, and while it was hasty one and
for business only, he enjoyed every
minute of his trip.

LONG And PATIENT
SUFFERER PASSES away

After years of patient suffering death
came to relieve Mrs. M. N. Bran at 10
o'clock Monday night. She died at her
home in the eastern part of the city,
leaving her husband and four children
to grieve. The children are Minnie,
Reuben. Goldie and Rollie, the Oldest
about Is years old and the youngest
about 10 years.
The remains were taken to Fargo on
Tuesday BY Mr.. Bran and the services
were to be held from the Jewish syna-
eogue and interment made in the Jew
ish cemetery.
This is the sixth time within the past
EIGHT years that Mr.. Bran has laid a
loved one at rest in this cemetery, five
Of his children having preceded the
mother to another world. and much
sympathy Is felt for Mr.. Bran and for
the four remaining children.
The BFam family came to Dickinson
about twelve years ago. and Mr.. Bran
has pursued his trade as tailor since
that time. The family have been resid-
ing on a homestead about 13 miles
southwest Of the city tho greater part
Of the time for the past two years. Mrs.

BRIDGE OUT.
IN STARK GO
Will Cost $4,000 to Replace at
Shipley's. Some Damage to
Heart River Bridge
Below Richardton.

On Wednesday the county, board, in
company with Surveyor Veisel, visited
Antelope creek and found that the so
It. span bridge at the Shipley crossing
was total wreck as q result of the
ice jam last week.
This bridge was not..larae.. enough in
the first place and the board has now
decided to erect a 80 #. bridge.
Surveyor Veiser found cake of ice
on the creek bank that. measured up to
the required dimension for 100 tons
weight, and he'said.it was no wonder
that the small bridge was twisted out
of shape and carried down. stream some
distance.
Wednesday the commissioners went
to Richardton and drove out..to Heart
river, ten miles south, to see how much
the bridge was damaged. 1t was
thought that the bridge could be re-
paired for a few hundred dollars and
made all right.
There was report that the bridges at
the John and James Little crossings
were eaiso damaged to some extent.
People who were up from Gladstone
later in the week seemed to think that
the damage did not amount to much.
In the western part of the county
there is nothing very serious reported
up to this time.
At Dickinson it became necessary to
dynamite the ice gorge to save the
Heart river bridge.
1t will take about So. 900 to put in the
bridge at the Andy Shipley place and
it will likely take about so days.
Hettinger county appears to be having
its share of damage from high water.
The railroad bridges at New England,
Regent and Mott had some of the piline
cut by the ice and were put out of COM
mission last Thursday. 1t was thought.
however. that the Milwaukee train
would be able to run into New Eng
land again by the first of the coming
week.
There may be some trouble at Man.
dan when the Missouri river ice goes
out which is expected almost any day.
Later-Ice going out on Thnrsuay.

COULDN'T CHANGE LIMITS

the south half Of section 10 from the
city limits was unanimously voted
down at the council meeting Monday
afternoon. The northeast quarter of
this section, is the Lenneville home
stead and the northwest quarter the
McDonoueh tract and the owners Of the
south half Of the section conceived the
idea Of changing the city limits for
the purpose OF lowering their taxes,
but the council would not entertain
anything Of the kind for p moment.
1t was pointed out to J. G. Quinlivan.
who was present as representative Of
one Of the quarters. that when the city
limits of Dickinson were fixed it was
the intention to have the bounds large
enough to control the acreage adjoining
the plated portions for a reasonable
distance in all directions. This had
proved wise provision and there was
no inclination on the part Of the mayor
or any alderman to cut down the city
limits. 1t was also pointed out that if
the council was to grant request of
this kind every acreage property owner
within the city limits would likely ask
for similar segregation of land. It
was stated by Mr.. Quinlivan that the
land in question was assessed at $40
per acre as against s6 formerly, maxi
ing the tax on quarter $126. 70. which
he thought was too high. The members
were inclined to agree with him in this
particular. but the time for changing
1911 assessments was past and there was
nothing that could be done now.-
The matter of putting crossing in at
the east and west ends of the N. r.
depot was referred to the street and
alley committee. If this ordinance
should be passed it would mean a cros-
sing nearly in the center of blocks
which, in the past, the council has not
seen fit to grant in any part of the city.
In this particular instance it would
provide for crossings about opposite the
Dakota National bank and the Greene
Drug store. the present depot crossing
being al the old Cartwright corner.
L. p. Brenner made application fol
tax refund on account Of his lot being
inside, next to the alley. and not front
ing on the street water main. This
raised a question which will be investi-
gated by the aldermen of the first ward.
The lots were plated east and west and
later divided on north and south line,
John Orchard owning the west portion
now and Mr.. Brenner the east portion
next the alley. There are number ol
places in the city where lots have been
cut in this way and owners will be
anxious to know how the council acts i1
the matter.
