. TRIBUTE TO
JOHN Soaring
BISMARCK TRIBUNE EDITOR,
WHO FORMERLY WAS EMPLOY.
Ed ON THE FORUM WITH
UNCLE JOHN Soaring PAYS
LATTER A SPLENDID TRIBUTE,

Bismarck Tribune: While it is
natural that we all regret to see the
heeting years of youth pass, and with
a pang of sadness, realize that we are
gradually facing the setting sun of
life, yet there is genuine pleasure in
the realization that the maturing years
finds. one able to look back over a
busy and well spent life.
Such is the case, with Uncle John
ny Soaring, cashier of The Fargo
Forum, who celebrated his 74th
birthday on Tuesday of tn.s week, and
who for thirty-three years has been
connected in some way or other with
that publication.
1t was away back in 1878 that Mr..
Soaring, a man in his prime, entered
the office of The Fargo Republican. He
saw 1t through the palmy days of pros
perity as well as through the days of
adversely and final failure. Over
twenty years ago the writer set Jud
Jordan's copy on that sheet, and Uncle
Johnny was just as busy and just as
happy then as he is now.
Time ran along, things didn't go
right, the big fire came, and The Re-
publican went into a decline. Major
Edwards and H. c.. Plumley were
pushing The Forum pretty hard. Fin
ally through one cause or another The
~AhGpuDIlCdA got an0 1T was
taken over by The Forum. Uncle John
ny went with it. Somehow, the writer
went too, n for some time was one
of the six men who set up The Forum
by hand every day. There was one
smiling face always around the insti-
tuition; it was that of Uncle johnny.
No matter whether one had a sour
stomach, a big head, had lost in poker.
been turned down by sweetheart. or
had a general crouch, Uncle Johnny's
smiling countenance was there push
ing back the clouds of the day.
Uncle Johnny is a sincere christian
and is aver on the alert to do good in
any way possible to help a fellow man
along.
He is still on the Job, lively as a
cricket, and no bigger than a half pint
of cider. He is true blue, courteous,
full of business, and can deal with the
hard customer, leaving him in good
spirits.
Here is hoping Uncle Johnny may
live many years and be blessed with
good health to serve his employer, the
public and his Master, and when his
time comes to strike a balance, in
the ledger of life it Will be with the
assurance that it will not be 1 cent
off and that it will show a large
amount of assets in the good things of
life.
Hoe der Uncle Johnny"

guarantee of all expenses incurred by
operations, treatment, hospital care,
making an equivalent of $4,000 was

lature. -. s-"r.

to recover an alleged indemnity said
to have been signed by the defendants
for a bank bond for state depositary
for the First National bank of Rug
by. The case attracted considerable
attention at the time the action was
first brought when it was popularity
known as the Jones-Gronvold case, On
account of one of the head officials of

volved.
Senator Gronvold contends that he
signed a blank paper not supposed

bard of st. Paul represent the plain
tiff. Appearing for Senator Gronvold
