Other cities adopted it. Legis.
latures in various states created
laws empowering cities TO vote on

and from all the cities SO adopting
this new form Of government,
came letters attesting its success
over the ward form3of city govern

against the commission form of

Some Of those who were very
much in favor Of the commission

ago, are now against it. Why?N
Fargo has not been visited by q

that the city has reached q point
where it should adopt q bettsrNsys-

In 1862 william starkweathef of AZ
bany,N. T., while IN Berlin vas fol-

doubtedly q spy Of the government.
Ten years later he had occasion to
again visit Berlin. He remembered his
previous experience and wondered IL
1t would be repeated. He saw nothing.
however, to excite his suspicious till he
was leaving the city. He stepped into
n compartment of q coach-each COM
partment was separated from the 9th
ers at that time-in which there was.
no other passenger. Just before the
train started a one eyed man carrying
a valise entered the compartment and.
as he did 20 eyed Mr.. Starkweather
Sharply.
Here he is." thought the American.
'He has but one eye, but for spying
purposes it is quite as good az two"
The man took a seat as far away
from Starkweather al possible, and in
stead Of putting his valise In the rack
overhead placed 1t in the seat beside
him.
Starkweather reached a satchel from
the rack, took out a book and began to
read. He Had perused SEVERN pages
when, looking aside. he saw the single
eye-the eye of the government he
called it-looking at him.
AS Stafkweather looked up the man
put his hand on the valise beside
him, and, since his expression indicat-
ed that he was ready to fight IL neces-
sary, the American thought that he
vas intending to open the valise and
take out a brace of pistols. Stark
weather, who kept what money he
had with him in, his right hip pocket,
involuntarily put his hand there. The
man started and put his own haad to
his hip, keeping that single eye OF his
on his fellow passenger Starkweath-
er, inferring that the nan supposed
he had reached for alpistol, withdrew
his hand in q way to avoid, so far as
possible, giving that appearance. New
ertheless he dreaded lest the man, 4
pecting that he would draw a weapon.
should do SO quicker than he and send
q bullet crashing through his brain.
However, when the other saw his emp
ty hand-he too. withdrew his ownSand
without anything In 1t.
By this time starkweather, being
alone in a compartment with. a dnSnt
whom he believed had been sent BY
the police to watch him and shoot him
down If he attempted to play any des-
perate game, considered II quite time
to disabuse his antagonist Of his sup
position as to his character. Fortu-
nately he spoke German very well and
thus addressed the one. eyed man in
that language:
'sSince you seem to be interested In
me, sir, 1 takett that you think me q
revolutionist 1 assure you that / have
interest In this country whatever.
l am a citizen Of the city of Albany, In
the state OF New York, in the United
States Of America. I beg you, there
fore, to cease your attentions and let
me alone"
This brief speech seemed to have 81
contrary effect on the one eyed man
to what was expected. He glared AZ
Starkweather, fclutching his valise n
one hand, while he kept the other UNI
der his coat In the region Of his hip.
When Starkweather had finished hS]
made no reply, but looked about ap.1
parently, for some means Of stopping
the train. starkweather lost patienes
