RIVALS
In A Race For Love With
Hand Of Esther Cleveland
As Reward

Baltimore, Md, July 29-Filled with
youthful ardor to win the hand Of
Miss Esther Cleveland, second daugh-
ter of Mrs. Thomas j. Preston, Jry
and. the. late President Grover Cleve-
land, Herman Stump and II. Gordon
Ewing, both of Baltimore, are rivals
in race for love, which is interest
ing not only friends of the girl, but
considerable portion of Baltimore
society.
Mr.. Stump is a son of Judge and
Mrs. II. Arthur Stump. Mr.. Ewing
is son of Mr.. and Mrs. William
Jackson Ewing, of Roland Park. Both
are about Il years old.
Mr.. Ewing's friends believe he has
the better chance to gain the victory
While both young men have been
guests at Miss Cleyelands home, Mr.
Ewing is still there, which leads the
"wiseacres" to prognosticate that all
will not be well with Mr.. Stump's
suit.
Both wooers are members of the
senior class at Princeton University
which is in the town where Miss
Cleveland has spent most of her life
The uncertainty as to the exact po
sition which each young man occH
pies in Miss Cleveland's affections
makes the situation much more "de
licious" as tender morsel Of gossiI
among their friends, and the rumori
have gained such wide circulation
| that the mothers Of the young mer
have been in consultation on the sub
lject. The disposition of both famil
les is to be friendly, although 1t il
admitted that each would like to have
its fayorite win.

BEACH RAILROAD talk
LOOKS LIKE ROAD SOUTH

The people at Beach feel confident
that the Northern Pacific will build
south of that city to Baker, Montana,
and possibly on to Belle Fourche in
South Dakota to connect with the
Northwestern.
Several crews. of men have been
working south of Beach for a month
or more and it really looks as though
something would come from this move.
Three surveys have been run and the
latest rumors are that the company will
build on the west line. running via
Carlisle to Baker. So far as known there
is no preliminary survey north of
Beach.
Just what has prompted the Northern
Pacific to make these preliminary
surveys south of Beach does not appear
now.

The City Board Of Health Makes
the Following Statement to
the Public

The Board of Health of the city of
Dickinson held a meeting on Monday,
March 10Th. 1913, for the purpose of
considering the use of ice taken from
Heart river. At this meeting the re-
ports upon samples of ice and water
submitted for analysis were read. These
analyses were made by E. F. Laid of
the North Dakota Agricultural college
and his report is in substance as fol-
lows.
On the samples of water from ice
his report shows that the solids in this
water are highly charged with bacteria
and that the ice water is badly con-
taminated.
Second sample of water taken from
ice cut one-half mile below the mill
shows excessive high contamination.
Third sample Of water taken from be-
low ice cut out three quarters of a mile
below mill, shows that this water is
unfit for use and ice cut from this is
unsafe to be used in drinking water.
It will be noticed that these tests
were made from ice and water taken
below the mill and that the ice is at
least formed in water that is badly
contaminated. and as the City Board
of Health, we feel it our duty to Give
the public information as to the water
from which ice has been taken.-adv.

1.-THE Rosary

Whatever else may be said of Row.
land and Clifford's new production
The Rosary" which comes to the opera
house lex Friday. March 14th, the
charge of imitation of other plays can
not be made.
1.-The Rosary practically breaks new
ground in the dramatic field and should
prove a veritable surprise when the
curtain rises upon it.
The play is built upon a thoroughly
modern theme, viz:-the influence of
thought upon the lives and we'll being
of the men and ONE of our present
day.
That thought intangible and evanes-
cent as it is, is still a force, a power.
a theory that has for sometime past en-
gaRed the attention of our foremost pscy-
biologists, but its portrayal upon the
stage has been neglected heretofore.
THE Rosary" attacks the theme
boldly. it deals with the lives and for
tunes of %a--little group of people living
in the beautiful West Chester country
nea New York City.
The husband is q disbeliever in all
religion. his wife a woman of serious
conviction regarding faith in the things
of life unseen.
Strong in his belief and thoroughly
human, a priest moves through the SUBJ
tie story of the play. when doubts come
and the mans and woman's lives are
shattered. seemingly beyond human
power to repair. this priest analyses the
situation and by the power of his faith
brings both the people whom he loves
back to happiness.
Mingled with the darker colors of hui
man tragedy is a vein of natural COM
edy evolved from the events which &C.
cur during the action.
