production of the "Hoosier Heroine"

presented at the Caughren theatre

the story is laid in Indiana, and the
story is intensely American. The de-
velopment of little half-starved Mi
ralda into an accomplished lady holds
the attention of the audience. In
trigue and comedy add zest to the sit

temple in this city. The Herald will
publish more details as the play pro-

of games for the coming season at
the next meeting which will be held
in about two weeks.
The membership towns were all de-
cided upon except two. The following
towns, Sank Centre, Osakis, Long
Prairie and Melrose are assured of a
place and in the course Of time that
elapses before the. next meeting is
held in Sank Centre, two towns of

on: 'Glenwood, Alexandra and St.
Cloud, making q circuit of six towns
who will each, deposit a sum Of $25

The two salaried man clause in the
constitution seemed to strike with
general favor and each club will be
ordered to strictly adhere to this.
None of the towns in Che circuit can
really afford an all-salaried team.

ing was evident at this gathering all

STRENUOUS VOYAGE
Relatives of Merchant Bione Have
Thrilling Experiences Crossing
..'- the Atlantic.

Mr.. and Mrs. L. C. Bjone and five
children, of Christiania, Norway, ar
rived in this city on Tuesday, March
9th and are visiting at the home of
the gentleman's brother, S. C. Bjone.
The L. C. Bjone family left Christian
ia on Wednesday, Mar. Oath, on board
the ocean liner "Christiania Fjord"
and on the trip the ship was stopped
once in mid-ocena by an English cruis-
er. A severe storm was raging at
the time and the pursuing cruiser fir
ed two shots before the captain of the
Norwegian vessel ordered the ship
stopped for inspection. The waves
were so high that the two ships could
not be brought up very close together
and wireless and semaphore messages
were used in communication. 1t was
two hours before the permission was
given for the Christiania Fjord to pro-
coed and in the meantime a message
had been sent to the English coast
and an order returned to that effect.
On the arrival of the ship on Friday,
April End, at the mouth of New York
harbor, snow storm was raging that
would not permit the sending out of
pilot-tender and it was necessary
to wait two days before entering the
harbor and tieing up at the dock. The
family will visit here for some time,
while looking for location on Amer
lean soil, which will probably be in the
Dakotas. The two older boys, Chris
ten and Malvin by name, came to this
country last fall and have been at
tending school this winter. The for
mer at a business college in Fargo,
and the latter in the grades of the
Sank Centre public schools.

GAIN in this CITY
LICENSE SLIPS ACROSS WITH A
SLIM MAJORITY OF 40 AT
TUESDAYS ELECTION
VERY HEAVY Vote WAS CAST
JOHN N. McGIBBON REELECTED
MAYOR FOR THE FIFTH
CONSECUTIVE TIME

IL ally Ollc Hdu IHdOC Illc SLdpcIuCII
a year ago that Sank Centre would
come within 40 votes of going "dry"
in the year of Our Lord 1915, he
would have been called a visionary
dreamer.
The law passed by the 1913 legis-
lature made it possible to vote on
licenses in municipalities of Sank
Centres character In 1904, 444 voters
used their right of suffrage on the
question and license carried BY IA.
At this election the "dry" adherents
polled exactly $50 votes, and stated
that they were satisfied with the re-
suit.
This year they set quietly to work,
and only secured enough signers to
bring the matter to a vote. There
was a general sentiment in the air,
however, that against license" would
poll a larger vote than last year, but
the Herald does not believe that even
the most pronounced no-license adj
herent expected to come as close to
actual victory as they did this year.
This in face of the fact that Sank
Centres drinking places are unusually
well managed and orderly, would in
dictate that the "dry'' sentiment has
had very healthy increase in this
city in IL months.
The saloon men were somewhat
downcast when the result was an
nounced and the "drys" insist that
the result of Tuesdays election is a
notice to them to "set their business
in order for what is sure to come in
another year."
The sentiment against the saloon
business is not local but worldwide,
and the Herald understands that the
large breweries of the country realize
that they will soon have to take up
some other line of endeaver and that
many of them are even now arrang-
ing to turn their mammouth plants
into packing houses.
The following analysis of the vote
in 1914 and in 1915 will be of inter-
est at this time, and is as follows:
1914 1915
