FARGO HONORED
AT CONVENTION

According to a telegram received
from Thomas B. Dunn, secretary, and
another from B. F. Ashelman, a prom
inent member and grand council Off
Ger, Fargo was very much in evidsnce
at the grand council meeting Of the
United Commercial Travellers
ton at Red Wing yesterday.
Manager McGrann's famous base
ball team, about which so much has
been written, won the first game yes
terday from st. Paul by a score of s
to 2, but it has to go against some
of the other teams.
The first game was a lively one, and
roofing was n Of the features Of
the afternoon.
The Fargo council was again award
ed the cup for having secured the
greatest number OF members during
the past year, the showing that was
made being extremely favorable to the
city. Fargo council has won this cup
many times. 1t was the winner by a
large majority at the convention of
last year and the cup will now remain
with the local organization.
Two FargO DOyS were eAcu gwen
cups for their work in bringing In new
members. william l.. ("BiH"l Grasse
was given the first cup for having
the greatest number, and Dave e.
Oman was given the second prize.
and 1t was remarked in the city yes
terday evening when the news reached
here, that they deserved 1t, for they
had been hard workers for the eoun-
ell at all stages of the game.
Mr.. Grasse, who is a member Of
the grand council as sentinel, will
be advanced when the election takes
place.
The Fargo boosters buttons were
everywhere manifest. Secretary Dunn
was handed over several hundred of
them by Secretary Slime of the COM
mercial club of this city, and ne has
been making good use Of them.
The last word received from the
boys is to the effect that they are hav-
ing the biggest kind of a time, and
that Red Wing is a good rival to Far
go In the way of entertainers. The
Fargo bunch is all well and each and
every individual having the greatest
kind of a time.

The memory of the man who has
been a resident OF Fargo for twenty
years needs only to be called to this

stroyed the great part of the city.
The fire, it win be remembered

abated fury for hours.

time will never forget the scenes that
were enacted during the great con-
fiagation, for it is something that will
remain in the minds of every inc

IN THE HOTEL LOBBIES

With sore feet and bunions of last
years vintage and corns left over
from last fall, Gus Leiber, of Jim
town, has been hobbiing about the
lobby Of the Waldorf, after the EIks
parade, for the past two days. The
walk was a trife too much for him.
Eyes, ! thought the EIks parade was
the grandest thing I ever saw and
some Of the grand lodges that I have
attended couldn't equal 1t, but, oh, my
and oh, me, but my feet are sore. We
had a good time here this week, and 1
don't want to go home until my feet
get cured-weil, it might cause some
talk, o know. Now. the next great
big thing that I am laying for is the
druggists convention that is coming
off in Fargo next August. I'll be here.
I'll be here, first, because I want to.
and second, because there won't be
any parade. Say, when a fellow gets up
to my time Of life he don't want to
parade. / honestly believe that Sam
Crabbe, who can stand long walks and
great exertions arranged that march
for my benefit. Anyhow, / took it.
I'd have fallen out the first half mile
If it hadn't been for getting joshed,
and I hate that most fearfully. 1t
took Billy Boyd and Bob RelIar two
hours getting the kinks put IL my
legs after 1t was over. I don't care, I
had a good time and am glad I'm here.
Expect to get home by Saturday and
greet my friends and family again."
and Gus went back in the corner, rub
bed the corners Of his left foot and
groaned.
