Rosary, which has had successful
three months engagement in Chicago
two months engagement in New
York and two months engagement
at the Globe Theatre in Boston, comes
to the Belding Opera House, Tuesday,
March l9.
The discriminating public will then
be given an opportunity TO see pictured
before them decided answer TO the
growing unrest and irreligion of our
times. Not that "The Rosary" is a
decision merely; it is more. 1t is a
faithful pict,te of the misery and un-
happiness that comes upon a man who
lacks faith in the supreme good and its
inevitable triumphs in our world.
1t is wonderful preachment Of
faiths mighty power, of the saving
grace of the good that lies about us.
A guaranteed attraction and one of
the best plays ever brought here.

Sure, ] knew the creamery folks
sent il
So l went out of old friendships
sake.
And the first thing they gave me TO
tackle
Was a slice of Chris Liebum's ban
quet cake.
CHORUS
There was plums and prunes and
cherries,
And citrons and raisins and Gin
namon too,
There was curds and cream and casein
And the crust il was nailed fast
with glue.
There was dutch cheese aad whey in
abundance,
Sure 'twould build up fine stom-
ach ache.
'Twould kill a man twice after eating
slice
OF Chris Liebum's Creamery Cake
Ben Hall, he wanted to taste it,
But sure, it wasn't no use,
They worked on il over an hour,
But couldn't get none of it loose.
Till Flanagan came with hatchet.
And Lew Winters came up with
saw,
That cake was enough, by the powers,
To paralyze any mans jaw.
Chris Liebum, as proud as peacock,
Kept winking and blinking away,
Till he fell over Jerry Spaulding's
brogans,
And spilled whole brewing OF tea.
Oh, "Judge Lapham," he cried,
you're not eating,
Try little bit more for my sake,
No thanks, Mr.. Liebum, says l,
But I'd like the receipt of that cake.
Hite Hall was took with the collie,
Clyde Cooper complained of his
head,
II Ihilh AlucIlIldIl ldiu uON ii vi tllc
sofa
And swore he wished he was dead.
John Lambertson fell down in
Mysteries,
And there he did wriggle and shake.
While every man swore he was
poisoned
By eating that creamery cake.
All the ladies in Orleans were invited,
And they primped up in elegant
style,
They ate up the buttermilk gravy,
And put on their butterine smile.
They drank all the cream and the
coffee,
And carried off all they could take,
But they'll find out, begorra fore
morning,
They ate too much of that cake.

The Fargo Shoe Go. which has had
such hard Shedding for some time past,
has filed articles of bankruptcy in the
Court at Grand Rapids. The referee
in bankruptcy will look the matter

that the factory can continue TO exist.
We learn that local capitalist stand

Present Outlook Points To
Three Tickets Republican,
Democrat and Socialists
THREE CORNERED BATTLE
But The Fight Is Not Expected To BE
A Fierce One-Socialists Will Be
First In Field

With the breaking up of long W in.
ter and some signs of approaching
spring, activity in municipal politics
begins TO take on life and talk is occas-
ional heard relating TO the caucus for
nominating ticket and the spring
election which is only three weeks dis
tant If the democrats conclude to put
up ticket, it looks as though the vot-
tickets this year Republican, Democrat
and socialist, if the Socialists and DEM
orcrats could combine however which
has been limited at the battle would be
narrowed to two, but this is very un-
likely because the socialist leaders of
the city say they propose to stand on
their merits, hang solidly to their prin-
ciples put up ticket and go down TO
defeat with their boots on if they have
TO.
They will be the first in the field and
will name ticket next week. 1t is
stated that their candidate for Mayor
is William Covert, and for Treasurer,
Will Wright, the talk now is that they
will make no nomination for City Clerk
as they consider that the office does not
pay salary sufficient lor the amount
of work il requires.
In the third ward they propose TO
put up Chas. Knapp for alderman and
Allie Knee for Supervisor. The repub-
licans will undoubtly renominate the
present officers whose temes expire
with the exception of clerk, who states
positively that he is not candidate.
A new night watchman will have To be
appointed as Mr.. Webber refuses to
take ii again. He expects to try farm
ing the coming year.
There is not much doing in demor-
cratic circles regarding the city election
but that party is game and always gets
10 the front with ticket even at the
eleventh hour.
The new city hall proposition has
seemed TO strike very favorably re-
sponse in sentiment and il is probable
that difinite action will be taken by
the council TO secure one this year.

ILL OMEN FOR DENIS.

The democrats are not particularly
elated over the long struggle to Sc
cure a nominee at Baltimore. Aside
from the bitterness the long fight en-
gsndered--there are certain supersti-
tions connected with the balloting.
During the past three score years
there have been three democratic
candidates nominated after a long
struggle. In the first it was Franklin
Pierce, who was a weak sister. y
The second was the memorable strug-
gle which rent the party in '60-and
resulted In two candidates, and II
was twenty-four years before dem
ocrat won. The third came in '6S
when Seymour was the result and he
was easily defeated by Grant. The
people Of the present generation re-
call how long it was from that date
till Cleveland won.
The only two successful democratic
nominees landed early. Cleveland wor
the first time on the second ballot
and the next time on the first. If tn,
democratic hoodoo continnes--it MAJ
be q bad omen for Wilson.

CANT IDENTIFY
DROWNED Man
FLoATER FOUND IN RIVER WILL
PROBABLY GO TO GRAVE
HIS NAME UNKNOWN.

Grand Forks, N. D., July 5.--Coro-
ner Stenshoel of Crookston last even
ing held an inquest over the remains
OF a doater found In the Red river, a
short distance below the road house.
Nothing was found In the pockets OF
the deceased that gave clue to his
identity, no letters, cards or tickets
indicating from where he came or who
he Is.
The remains were taken to the Nor
man undertaking parlors after the in
quest and will be held there several
days pending investigation, and then
given proper burial. No further in
quest will be held unless there arises
some necessity.
No evidences Of foul play were re-
vealed at the inquest last evening.
From appearances, the body had been
in the water several months, and may
have come from some distance up the
river, or perhaps had hoated only a
short distance and was held fast in the
bed OF snags where it was found.
Several people viewed the remains
today In the hope OF Identifying the
man, who is light conplexioned with
a sandy nnustache. Among those who
were at the undertaking parlors were
friends OF Attorney Davis of Larirnore,
who has been missing for some time
past. 1t developed, however, that the
deceased was dressed like lumber
| Jack and was OF the transient class OF
| laboring men. In all probability the
funeral will be held in the next few
days. as the body is not III shane To
be held more than that length ot

sroPHoRIA.

Sitophobia is q new disease the
doctors have invented. 1t is a tech
nical name for what the average man
terms bullheadedness Sometimes il
is combined with a case Of inagina-
tion---and when there is a particularly
chronic case, there is usually a set
Of nerves.
One Of the symptoms is when a
certain individual refuses to eat
foods that he claims disagrees with
him. There are some people who de-
cry onions. Others won't eat butter,
still others decline to eat certain
kinds of vegetables Tests have been
made by physicians. 1t has been
found that when patients were induc-
ed to eat foods that had been their pet
aversion--they usually discovered they
had mistaken ideas--and also that
frequently the much detested stuff
turned out to be delicious.
The medics are warning the public
not to permit children to contract
sitophobia. One learned man says to
make children eat a. little Of every
food on the table-and not permit
them to contract the neurotic habit
of objecting to certain articles.

REGULATING TRAFFIC.

IAN indignant Fargo lady writes The
Forum protesting against the way the
drivers Of automobiles, delivery wag-
ons and buggies act when people are
boarding or getting off street cars.
She says that twice this summer she
has had a perfectly good dress soiled
by teamsters driving So close to the
car while she was getting off that the
wheels rubbed her skirts.
Her protest is entitled to consid-
Grafton.
Along Broadway the trouble of
which the lady complains has been
frequent. Some time there are likely
TO be serious injuries. The drivers
evidently assume they have the right
OF way and show little consideration
for those taking cars. They not only
run very close to the cars-but at a
high rate Of speed.
In some cities there are rigid reg
ulations to protect passengers. in
st. Louis, one Of the best street car
cities in the country, the autoists,
teannsters and other drivers are pre-
vented from attempting to go over a
crossing, where people are boarding
or leaving street cars. At first the
drivers vigorously protested but
more recently they have seen the wis
dom Of the movement in the protec-
tton Of the lives and persons of the
patrons OF the street cars.

KIDS IN PARADE.

It was an inspiring sight to see block
after block OF enthusiastic boys and
girls in the safe and sane Fourth of
July parade This feature Of the cele-
bration succeeded even beyond the
most sanguine hopes of the promoters
OF the days exercises.
There were hundreds and hundreds
of the youngsters in line. They were
a. happy bunch and each one appeared
to be enjoying the occasion to the
fullest limit.
AS a sample Of what Fargoans are
manufacturing the kids gave most
impressive object lesson. They were
a healthy looking lot and a glance at
their bright faces was a guarantee
they ware as intelligent as they ap-
peared healthy.
The youth took great interest in
the parade and the patriotic features
were strongly impressed upon them,
The later exercises at the beautiful
Oak Grove park were entered into
with zest that showed the partici-
pants had athletic ambitions and there
seems plenty of material for future
prominence in that line.
Altogether the safe and sane cele-
bration was a great success-and
much OF it was due to the splendid
turnout Of the boys and girls.

The mayor immediately signified
his willingness to do everything pos
sible to assist. and good roads have
been or are being built on the Oak
wood line and the cemetery road and
south on the Mimic road. The road
leading out of the city west will be
graded and put in first class condition
and the streets and crossings improv-
ed.
The committee went north to the
Pembina county line and found much
good roads due TO the fact that the
public spirited farmers had taken the
Initiative and dragged the road after
rains. Rasmuss Johnson, John Mill
ler. c., A. Boon, Fl, Lykken, A. j. Love
Louis Huard and Gerd johnson have
agreed to keep the roads along their

WAS KICKED BY

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT WHICH
MAY RESULT IN DEATH or

La Moure, N. D., July 5.--A very pc
Guitar and distressing accident was
that which happened upon the farm
of Chas. Heiden, now rented by a
nephew Of the lated, Max Heiden. 1t
seems that about o'clock in the
morning Max Heiden went to the
stable to look after blind mare.
The mare took sudden alarm and
kicked out suddenly with the rear
feet with great force. One hoo1
struck Mr.. Heiden squarely In the face
smashing in the nose and breaking
the bridge, besides fracturing the
skull directly above the nose. Besides
this piece of the hoof became inn
bedded under the right eye while the
whole front OF the face suffered a Sc
we're confusion.
Ernest Mills, who happened to be al
the place, assisted in bandagtng the
injured mans wounds, after which he
drove him to LaMoure. Unfortunate-
ly both doctors were out Of town. The
sufferer was then placed in the auto
of Johnson & Long, and Messrs
Mills, johnson and Halvorson accom-
panied him to the Merkle hospital al
Cakes The doctors there pronounce
the case very grave.
