This sdea has been very promi-

none should be invited to take part
in the organization unless their

progressive cause, hence the delay.
In perfectlng this organization it
is not the intention of neglecting

making the body too large and un-

Sentiment still continues to grow
stronger and stronger day after day,

committee directing the campaign
the proposition will carry by vote
Of five to one, some placing the vote
at ten to one.
1t is reported that the opposition
contemplates making an application
to the Alexander county circuit
court, when it convenes next Mon
day with Judge Butler on the bench,
for an order, on some pretext OF
other. preventing the holding of the
special election Tuesday, March 4
when the question of the adoption
or rejection Of the measure is to be
submitted to the voters by order OF
Judge Wall.
This action, it is said, has its
foundation in the statement made
Monday by certain well-known

the election may not be held.
Several of the opponents, violent
and offensive at the inception of the

SET
GRANARY Attire

Dogden, N. D., May 21.-Sam Tam
| oshanko lost his granary and contents
by fire. The granary was situated
about half way between Dogden and
Balfour. 1t was 36x38 and would cost
ST. 200 to build. 1t contained 1900
bushels of wheat and about 100 BUSH
els of oats. 1t was set IN fire by a
young Russian living southeast of the
grainary.
The same party attempted to burn up
the building about a month g and
! Sam went and had the building in
sured and the contents as well. He
had A. l.. Lombard put a 81, 500 policy
on the building and contents. Mr..
| Tamoshanko is a Russian n cannot
understand the English language very
well. He understood hat Mr.. Lom-
bard had told his little girl, who inter
preted for him that he should dupli-
cate the insurance with some other
company SO risk would not be so great
in case the place did burn UP. So he
went to Kief and took out $1,000 more,
$700 on the building and 5000 on the
grain. Hence there is more than in
| surance enough to cover the loss which
must be sustained by the two com
panies, the Northwestern of Minneap-
oils, and the Middle West Insurance
leo. Of Valley City, which has moved
to Minneapolis. The party who set
buggies Of Sam a couple of years ago
and shipped them to Canada. The
authorities of McHenry county and
those Of Canada have been working on
the case and it is only a question Of
a short time when the fire bug will be
nailed for stealing. The fire has start
| ed efforts afresh.

A Big HANDICAP
THE FIGHT AT SASKATOON WAS

lNTYRE-THEY FOUGHT CLEAN
BREAK WHICH ISN'T THE BEST
FOR LEO,

For the fourth time Leo Kossick, the
pride Of Fargo and Moorhead. and
Mickey Mcintyre, the Nova Scotia
man have met at Saskatoon and as
yet there has been no decisive result.
They have each won a victory, there
was one draw and last Monday there
was another draw, and from the ac-
counts that come from there no other
decision could have been made. .
Kossick is somewhat handicapped In
his contests in the Dominion. In Sas-
katoon the rule Is for clean breaks
and Kossick Is best at in fighting,
while the Nova Scotia man Is a. his
best in the other mode. It is stated
that Lee showed up better than at his
other fight and that he has displayed
great improvement.
The contest was for twelve rounds,
but 1t was the ]concensus of opinion
that until the boys are permitted to
go a longer distance they will remain
in the same class, and as one might
say, hated rivals. The contest was a
lively one from beginning to end and
there vas an immense crowd in at
tendance. The Big Six baseball league
opened there yesterday and the boxing
show was the big entertainment of the
days end.

BISMARCK Police
Chief FIRED

Bismarck, n. D., May 21.-The city
| of Bismarck is without a, chief of po-
lice, the office being declared vacant
last evening by President Lucas at the
close of the city commission meeting.
Ever since the new administration
went into office, the one question
which was asked in this city more
than another has been, Who is to be
the new chief? This question Is only
partly settled, for, while it will no be
Mr.. Mcdonald, the ex-chief, yet no II
seems to nave any idea what Mr.. Pat
terson will do.
The beheading Of Chief Mcdonald
came like a bolt from IL clear sky.
While it was expected that there might
be something doing, yet it was not
suspicloned that the shock would come
from the direction that it did, that is
from the president of the commission.
After all other business had been
disposed of President Lucas asked Po-
lice Commissioner Patterson If he was
ready to make any recommendations,
to which Mr.. Patterson replied n he
was not. Hardly had the words drop
ped from Mr.. Patterson's lips than
President Lucas declared the office OF
chief vacant and notified Commission
er Patterson that he would give him
till tonight to decide upon a recon-
mendation. There was a OF
silence, caused by the surprise of Mr.,
Lucas decisive and positive action. A
motion to adjourn to Wednesday eve
ming carried.
Soon after the meeting President
Lucas was asked by a Tribune repre-
sentative what he had to say regard
ing the matter, when he said:
II have had many requests by busi-
ness men, taxpayers and citizens to
make a change. in the office of chief OF
police. I talked with Mr.. Mcdonald
about it and requested him to resign.
He refused. He is a good police offic-
er, though there is a heavy opposition
to him. Out Of respect for what ] be-
lieve to be a majority of the people OF
this city, I decided to declare the office
vacant, and hope that Mr.. Patterson
will choose by Wednesday night and
if he does not, 1 shall submit an aDa
pointment myself"

The Opinion Of the Many

Is always safer than the theory of the
few. Millions of the people in all
parts of the world have decided that
there is no knit undergarments like
Munsingwear. Shall we benefit by
their good judgment or continue to
wear less comfortable underclothes of
ordinary make? The cost price in
most cases is the same. If you are not
already familiar with the merits of
Munsingwear ask to see the garments
at A. l.. Moody's.-Advt.

GRONNA TALKS
ON The TARIFF

Wil1iston. N, D.,May 21.-United
States Senator Gronna. who is spend
ing g. few days at Lakota, was in
Williston yesterday where he attended
a meeting Of the commercial club at
which the question of securing to
North Dakota the benefits accruing
under the enlarged homestead act was
considered.
A bill providing that North Dakota
should have the benefits Of the 800
acre homestead act was passed about
q year ago, being introduced by Sena-
tor Gronna, but up to this time the
secretary of the interior has refused
to designate any land for entry under
the act. ,
The WillistonC Commercial club pass =
ed resolutions urging the designation
of such lands, and it is the plan to Sc
cur the cooperation of all the west
ern cities in an effort to bring this
about.
Secretary bennett was in favor of
the plan, but George Otis Smith Of
the geological survey is opposed to
concerned. although it Is operative in
Montana
Little Hope for Change.
Senator Gronna says he sees little
hope Of any radical amendments by
the senate Of the democratic tariff bill,
and he believes that it will be passed
substantially the same as it was pass
ed by the house.
r 1.-THE BILL" said Senator Gronna in
an interview yer the telephone today,
Seems to favor the southern states,
In that the industries of that section
are protected to better advantage than
are those Of the northern states.
while two senators have stated
that theySwould vote against the bill,
it Is regarded as quite possible that
one or two republicans will vote for
It. .
East is Worked Up.
There never has been a time when
l have received SO many letters on any
question as I have on his tariff bill.
These letters come from manufacture
ers and laboring organizations, and
they are all in protest against the
various features.
Some Features Not Scientific.
Some features Of the act are not
/ scientifically drawn, that being partic-
ularly true with reference to the free
wool situation.
THE beef industry, under the bill,
fears the competition of Argentine aud
Australia. The bill provides for a 10
per cent duty on cattle and for free
beef. The beef, shipped by water, can
be handled very cheaply as against the
handling Of it by rail, and the ship
ments from Argentine and Australia
would be made to the coasts of our
country at. a cost injurious to the i'll
dustry in the United States.
The Flour Situation.
with reference TO the flour situa-
ton; while it is true that flour will be
admitted free only from such coun-
tries as admit our flour free, it opens
the way very easily, as all the other
countries have to do is to change their
laws.
I'm Argentine flour mills would be
established and the product shipped
to the United States at about the
same cost that wheat can be shipped
from Williston to Grand Forks.
1.-THE Touring industry in the Ar
gentine would be built at the expense
of the American industry"
Favors Income Tax.
Regarding the income tax feature Of
the bill. Senator Gronna says he IS
favorable to 1t, believing that it has
been worked out in a satisfactory
manner.

KUHN ESCAPED
DISASTROUS FIRE

Kuhn, N. D., May 21.-What, for a

serious fire to the business section of
Kuhn, occurred when David Brost's
barn was discovered to be on fire. Be-
fore an alarm could be turned in the

to save the building and smaller one,
