The AndnidS Club
Banquet Nov. Is
COL, WhITEHEAD'S AGGREGA.
TON OF "FORTY LIARS AND
OTHER LIES" WILL FEED

Arrangements have been made to
hold the annual Annanias banquet
this year at the Hotel Mckenzie, Bis
marck, on the evening of November
lis. The Annaias club is fictitious
Organization and it's proceedings are
published every week in the State by
Col. B. G.. Whitehead, whose fame has
spread to such an extent in writing
these ananias serials that he has been
repeatedly asked by an eastern syndi.
cate to supply similar stories written
from a national standpoint. Last
year was the first banquet held for
this club in the state, and there were
eminent speakers present from all
over North Dakota. For this second
banquet there are assurances that the
attendance will be more national in
scope, and the program of speeches
already prepared, contains large
number of attractive subjects by pro-
minent speakers.
In accordance with his ideas for big
things the Colonel has called this or
ganization, the Ananias club Of the
United States. Sounds like a trust
but there will be no trust about it
for it is necessary to plunk down the
three dollars and do it early or there
will be no chance. This aggregation
will have Bill Nye's Forty Liars and
Other Lies" beaten to death.
This is to be a great event, marked
by deluge of oratory and with Col
Whitehead presiding in the capacity Of
POSTMASTER, the following program
will be carried out:
Third District Liars, Hon. M. H.

J. V. Nicholl is the man who saved
the day this trip. Sunday he went
hunting in the Crane-Johnson car and
on returning home neglected to drain

ing auto uppemost in his mind. He
made haste to relieve the pesky thing
and upon reaching the lumber office
found the room filled with smoke. In
vestigation showed the furnace with
too much draft. AS a result the water
in the pipes had boiled out, the felt
with which they are covered had be-
come ignited and the flames were
slowly creeping toward the woodwork
of the ceiling. Jack forgot all about
hishis slow moving English ancestors
when he fully grasped the dangerous
situation, and quickly organized FIRE
brigade of which he was chief, captain
and all. Hard and effective work soon
had the flames under control. No

Jack is still wondering what might
have happened had he not been pro-
videntially rescued from the arms Of
Morpheus at the right and proper mo.

Politics at n. D. IA.
Gets Early Start
VALLEY cIY WOMAN NAMED As
PROBABLE FAvoR,1E FOR !
PRESIDENCY.

Fargo, Nov. 5.-Although less than
half of the educators of the state who
are expected to attend the Fargo con-
vention had arrived last night, poll
tics is already playing a part among
the teachers VINO are here for the big
meeting. Friends are already boosting
several candidates for president to
succeed Superintendent ]. Nelson Kel-
ly of the Grand Forks public schools.
In spite Of the fact that the primary
election system adopted two years ago
was supposed to eliminate to a large
extent the politics in the annual gath
ering, a merry battle is expected to be
waged for the highest honors of the
convention. The fight will be all the
more merry with the friends of Miss
Minnie j. Nelson, of Valley City,
boosting, her for the honor.
According to political" gossip in
the hotel lobbies last evening, three
candidates are frequently mentioned
in addition to Miss Nelson. They are
President A. G. Cane of the Minot
Normal school, Professor Clyde r.
Travis, of the Mayville Normal, and
Superintendent E. r. Edwards, Of
the Jamestown public schools.
All four candidates have many
friends who will work for them and
the primary" vote is likely to be well
divided between the four, according
to many of the teachers. It was sug-
gested last night that If the women
teachers stand behind the only woman
candidate while the male voters split
their ballots between the three or
more candidates, the women will have
an easy victory.

Superintendent of
Light Plant Resigns
COUNCIL ACCEPTS RESIGNATION
AND APPOINTS NEW MAN TO
PLACE.
(From TUESDAYS Daiy.)

Frank Burbank superintendent Of
the municipal lighting plant of Valley
City presented his resignation at the
regular meeting of the council held
last evening. The resignation was
read to the council by the city auditor,
and was made to take effect as soon as
his successor could be appointed. In
asmuch as a new superintendent was
in the city last evening, and was ap.
pointed and confirmed by the council,
it is probable that Mr.. Burbank's re-
signation will become effective immed'
lately.
In placing his resignation before the
meeting, Mr.. Burbank gave no reason
for his action, although it has been an
ticipated for some days that his con-
nection with the light plant would be
of comparative short duration. 1t was
said before and after last nights meet
ing that there was friction between
himself and the lighting committee
over the service given customers OF
the plant. .
Mr.. Burbank was present at the
meeting, and thanked the council for
the courtesies which had been extend.
ed him during the two years he has
been connected with the plant. The
mayor on behalf of the council recipro.
Gated, and on the surface, at least, ev'
erything was lovely, when the coun.
Gil adjourned.
At the close of Mr.. Burbank's and
the mayors remarks the appointment
of Oscar Burtle, formerly superintend'
ent of the Russell Miller plan: at Dick.
inson, was made and confirmed.
The routine business Of the council
was adhered to outside Of Mr. Bur
banks resignation.

FOR woMAN's EYE.

The one sided effect is almost as
much liked as ever on evening
gowns.
II is quite the fashion to wear a
waistcoat, the belted velvet coats so
much liked.
Long white suede gloves are COM
ing into favor with French women
for evening wear.
Small black hats Of breitschwanz
have a single aigrette rising up from
a dazzling stone.
A certain black crepe leather is a
favorite for mourning bags, or even
the ordinary handbag.
Petticoats to wear with evening
frocks are frequently OF white crepe
de chine with lace ruffles.
Some of the newest tailored suits
have silk braiding in two colors-
blue and scarlet, for instance.
The present position of the
aigrette or paradise on the hat Is
distinctly upright in the very front
Another way of trimming the
small toque is with long loop bows
standing stiffly out toward one side
Velvet, silk, fur and chiffon are
often seen in one frock--combina
lions are so much in favor this year
Hemstitching and buttons hki
pearls are the usual ornaments o.
the fashionable white crepe de chine
shirtwaist.

DAY BY DAY.

Let me be little kinder,
Let me be little binder
To the faults of those about me;
Let me praise a little more;
Let me be, when I am weary,
Just little bit more CHEEKY,
Let me serve little better
Those that l am striving for.
Let me be a little Drawer
When temptation bids me waver,
Let me strive a little harder
To be all that I should be;
Let me be little meeker
With the brother that is weaker,
Let me think more of my neighbol
And a little less of me.
Let me be a little sweeter,
Make my life a bit completer
BY doing what I should do
Every minute of the day;
Let me toll without complaining,
Not a humble task disdaining;
Let me face the summons calmly
When Death beckons me away.

great edifice with its celebrated
clockwork shows serious tears and
cracks along the northern pillar

1898 walls were erected upon the
old Roman foundations, which rested
upon a layer of earth that was not

lions have sunk nearly ten inches.
