SENIOR PLAY A GOOD ONE
OPERA HOUSE PACKED

The Senior play "Higbee of Harvard"
given at the opera house last Friday
evening, was one Uf the very best home
talent plays ever given in Dickinson.
Each character from the Montana
rancher to the ex-senator of Massachu-
setts was excellently portrayed. Much
credit is due those taking part who were
Irving Gerlich. Llewe]lyn Roquette,
Alonzo Nichols, Victor Christensen,
Lyall Merry, Marion Dundas, Emma
Nichols, Edna Smith and Myrtle
Parker, and great deal of credit is
also due to Miss Hillesheim and the
teachers who assisted her in the COACH
ing.
The gross proceeds fron the play were
$275. Is which indicates that every seat
in the opera house was taken. This
money will be used to defray COM
mencement expenses and the remainder
will be donated to the high school for
any purpose which the seniors may
designate. There are fourteen members
in the senior class this year, all of
whom will be busy with their final high
school work until the eve of commence
ment on May 29th.
The solos by Miss Rose Berrineer and
Fred Maser on piano and violin re-
spectively, were nicely given and were
enjoyed by everyone.

SEWER DIsin:ssetv Created

Probably the most important business
matter that came before the city council
at their monthly meeting on Tuesday
afternoon was the reading of the petit
tion from the property owners in block
3, asking to have the alley in that
block paved. The council ordered the
city. attorney to draw up an ordinance
creating this pavement district and it
is likely that work will be commenced
within short time. The alley to be
paved is between Sims St. and First
Ave. West, from the Geo. Drenkel store
to the Senour & Langley building. also
the one running north at right angles
and Joining with First Street North.
Ordinances creating two new sewer
districts. one on West Willard and one
in South Dickinson. had their first
reading ON Tuesday. A committee
composed of Aldermen Butler, Pugh
and Lob will determine the location of
crossings for East Willard street, which
will be put in this spring.
It was decided that the city make
demonstration in one block of the White
Way by using &C and As candle power
lights and each light in the cluster
turned on instead of using the 100 and
so candle power lights with only the
crown light turned on as has been the
practice for some time. This vii be
tried for month.
The council was discussing a new
bridge for the creek in the eastern part
of the city and referred the same to the
bridge and alley commit ee, who will
report at the May meeting.
Bills to the amount of 81, 1872. 20 were
allowed, this amount including $206. 20

of cash on hand on April list of $3.O77.

a gain of $174.94 for the past month.
The auditing committee had com.
pleted checking books and records of the
city auditor and reported that all were
found to be correct.

High Water
Stops Ry.
Track Out at Mandan Quickly Re
paired. Bridge Not Injured.
Land Will be Ready
to Work Soon.

The floods did not reach Dickinson or
any place in Stark county. but thev did
interfere with our mail service on Mon
day and Tuesday. The Missouri river
was on its annual rampage the first of
the week and south of Bismarck and at
Mandan the lowlands were covered
with water. Many people had to move
to higher ground until the waters reced-
ed. A section of track was carried
away on the west approach of the Mis-
souri, river railroad bridge which tied
up all Northern Pacific traffic for few
days.
The railroad officials anticipated the
flood damage and had 800 men and IS
carloads of gravel on the ground for re-
pairing the damage just as soon as the
water was down little. 1t took some
time to get the heavy cakes of ice off
the track before the men could fill In
with gravel and relay steel. The bidee
was not injured in the least. Mandan
had some damage to property but moth
ing very serious. BY Wednesday trains
were running again.
There was some damage reported
along the Little and Big Missouri rivers.
At the Robert Wilcox ranch few pigs
and chickens were lost.
The roads have been very muddy the
past week and the land is still quite
wet in most places. Farmers expect te
be able to start spring work in good
shape the coming week.

RARLEMAN BROTHERS have
SISTERS IN FLOOD DISTRICT

Allen Harleman this week received
a letter from his sister. Mrs. Parker,
at West Manchester, about ten miles
from Dayton, in which she gives an
account of some of the awful conditions
that have resulted from the flood.
Their other sister. Mrs. Vaniman, lives
at Dayton and it is not thought that
she suffered from the food as their
home was in one of the higher sections
of the city. It is difficult to get any
information as no railroad tickets are
sold and outside parties are not allowed
to enter the city.
Following is a part of Mrs. Parker's
letter to her brothers here and is very
interesting.
The water was Is to 30 feet deep on
Main street and feet deep at the
Union station from which place 90
bodies have been taken. The dead at
Dayton will easily reach 200. Several
houses were washed away. A family
know left their house and the hast they
saw of it the roof was just above the
water. Another family moved all their
things to the upper story and stayed
there until they were finally rescued by
a neighbor putting pole across to
them. The tops of the school houses
were filled with school children. On
Wednesday, the day after the levee
broke, the hills around the Soldiers
Home were covered with men. women
and children without any protection
from the rain and nothing to eat and
nobody could get to them. Children
were being born on the streets or any
place and with no clothes to put on
them. Several cases have been found
where mothers have been carrying their
dead babies in their arms for several
days.
| The school president with several
people was stranded in a building with
nothing to eat but potatoes and onions
and when the potatoes gave out, just
onions. He helped to save IS women
and when rescued was in an exhausted
condition. He said they would catch
lGaaees and other things that went
! floating by. One boy from here stayed
in building until he saw he would be
drowned then as last resort he threw
himself in the water and caught a
piece of wood on which he Goated until
he reached the bridge and was saved.
The water is down almost to normal
now. The property destruction has been
great. The business men are trying
to. clean things up in their stores. In
some places the mud is knee deep and
labels are all washed from the canned
goods.
Robbers are doing terrible things and
several militia companies have been
called out. One man was caught carry
ing five fingers with diamond rings on
them in his pockets. others with
women's hands and ears. One was
shot while cutting the ear from a
woman who was not quite dead.
1.-The suffering from hunger was beyond
realization. Women here were baking
night and day and from here we sent
200 biscuits and boiled eggs on Thurs.
day after the food. Clothing was also
being sent. The smell in Dayton is
terrible.
1t is reported that Peru and Miami
isburg are as bad off as Dayton. and
the east part of Troy and Pickway were
submerged. One woman IS years old
aoated down the river on log from
Pickway to Dayton, where she was
rescued

The general sentiment expressed by
those already on the ground Is that
the session will be marked by the
transaction of much important bust
ness. One of the first items Of bust
ness will be the selection of United
States senator, but this will be a per-
functory task for the lawmakers, as
the preferential vote at the November
election assures the reelection Of
Senator Knute Nelson.
A presidential preference primary
is likely to be passed at this session,
and the initiative and referendum and
recall will be proposed in constitu-
tional amendments. other measures
that are pretty sure to receive atten
ton include an employers liability law,
a blue sky" law to prevent the sale
Of worthless stock, reforms in court
procedure, amendments to the state
vide primary law, and legislation pro
idng for road improvements, the eN-
tension of agricultural education, wom-
ans suffrage and county option.
