HENRY WHALEN SAVES EYE
WILL RETURN IN FEW WEEKS

Henry Whalen will save bis left
eye. At least this is the good news
which came to Lloyd RAIDER from
Mr.. Whalen's specialist in St. Paul
early this week.
It will be remembered that Mr..
Whalen had a barbed wire staple
driven into his eye during the dis
astrous prairie fire at the RAIDER
Dairy Farm two weeks ago and the
local physician feared that his sight
could not be restored. However, he
was given proper treatment at the
Dickinson hospital for few days and
then sent to a specialist.
Mr.. Whalen now thinks that he will!
be able to return to Dickinson within
a short time and has asked Mr.. RAIDER
to save his position for him on the
farm. He had just commenced work
at the dairy farm when the accident
happened. His parents reside at
Pierre, S. D., and he has a brother,
James Whalen, in Dickinson.

FOR DAN RUSSELL
TAKEN UNDER AMUSEMENT

It will be remembered that during
the first trial Of the Russell case in
Boston when Ferdinand C. Almy, the
administrator of the estate, was put
ting in testimony furnished by de-
tectives, that his client was not the
rightful heir, that Attorney l.. A.
Simpson, who was conducting the trial
for "Dakota Dan," dared Almy and
the estate to arrest Dan, claiming that
such course was their plain duty if
he was not what he represented him
self to be. The district attorney was
also asked to act at that time but de-
clined because, the issue involved was
on trial in another court. If arrested,
Russell will be entitled to a jury trial
on the question of his identity. This
is what he has always asked for and
heretofore has been denied.
The following taken from The Bos-
ton Globe: of April 16, 1915, shows
that such course is now being again

whatever.
When I reached the top of the hos
pital hill, I stopped to look down the
alley. The alleys were very straight
and wide, but discovered that if the
garbage man should begin at one end
of the alley and should work his way
to the other end he would, without
doubt, be a wealthy man by the time
he had reached town.
found that the fences were in poor
condition, especially in the down town
districts. In the best part of the
residence district though, the fences
looked quite nice and the only thing /
coat of paint in most cases.
There were very few bad looking
buildings in the residence part of the
second ward. The only place recall
is where the remains of a fire last
winter has not been cleared away.
The buildings along the alley by the
armory are in a very disreputable
condition and if this were attended to
all of the buildings except few
poorly-kept homes would be in good
condition.
The vacant lots are very unsightly.
There are only one or two vacant lots
which are not partially covered with
old lumber and piles of refuse. The
vacant lots down town and particu-
larly around the arnory, are by far
the worst in appearance.
The trees and shrubs appear to be
well cared for, though there are quite
a number of places where more shrub
berv would add wonderfully to the
appearance of the whole place.
The greatest need in this ward, I
believe, is the need of good boule-
wards. l noticed that more than half
Of the homes have trees planted for
the boulevards, and I see no reason
why they should not be finished,
when they would add so much to the
attractiveness of our city. That,
with the alleys cleaned, fences paint
ed, sidewalks laid and crossings re-
paired, would constitute all of the
necessary improvements.

The Ward i'm Which I Live

The second ward is bounded on
either side by Second Avenue West
and Sims Street, and in the front by
Front Stret. 1t extends as far north
as the city limits. The entire ward is
about eight blocks long and two blocks
wide.
The condition of the streets in this
ward is fairly good. They are wide
and clear from any obstruction every
where, except near the library, where
some improvements are being made.
The crossings, in most places, are in
very poor condition, being cracked
end broken and in some places al
most demolished. The roads at the
crossings are washed out in a great
number of places, making auto driv-
ing very disa agreeable. Where there
are sidewalks they are in good con-
Sdition, but there are fully eight or
more blocks which have no sidewalks.
Most of these places are in the blocks
running east and west, though there
lis quite a space in the north end Of
the ward where there is no sidewalk

HAD GOOD WINTER SAYS
JOHN LEAKEY, CATTlEMAN

John Leakey, one of the largest
cattle growers in western North Da-
kota, was in Dickinson on Wednes-
day from his ranch as miles north of
Medora, or about six miles south Of
the old w bar ranch on the Little
Missouri river. ,....--.
Mr.. Leakey bought out the interest
of his partner in cattle last year and
took over other interests which gives;
him a large range. He has horses in
addition to his cattle and is one of
the few who are still doing ranching
on a large scale. He states that
while snow was deep out his way, the
stock Wintered well.
2 George Lowell came in with Mr..
sLeakey and made application at the
Dickinson u. s. land Office for l6O
acres on the Missouri river bottom,
this being all the land allowed a
homesteader along the river. {

ter. DR.. A. E. Spear said he had not

bag of antidotes and therefore he
would confine himself to early remi-
niscences. He became quite serious
at times and made his talk very in
teresting as he recalled his boyhood
days and his fathers Odd Fellowship.
Later in the evening Odd Fellows,
Rebekahs and all their friends went
to the Elk auditorium where dancing
until late hour was in order. A six
piece orchestra furnished delightful
strains of music. About 100 tickets
were collected which meant that con-
siderably over 200 people were on the
floor.

same town. Mr.. and Mrs. George
Wright are located at Taylor now but
hold their membership at Belfield.
Mr.. and Mrs. c. H. Frame are from
South Heart, while Mr.. and Mrs. Bros
ten have their residence at Fryburg.
Melvin H. Gibson came all the way
in from Dunn county to attend the
anniversary celebration, and his many
Dickinson friends were mighty glad
to see him. One of the local Rebekahs
who is not out often late years was
Mrs. Mary Rau. Mrs. Jane Thomp-
son, wife of the late J. C. Thompson,
was unable to attend the banquet and
her meal was taken to her in her ap-
artments over the Fred Thompson
store by thoughtful Odd Fellows.
Much credit is due Noble Grand
Parker and his able assistants for the
successful manner in which the exeg-
cises were conducted.

LADY WILL EVENTUALLY
GET HER LAND BACK

Attorney J. P. Cain went to Amidon
on Tuesday in connection with the
Mrs. Hattie E. Wade suit. This is a
case wherein Allie Major, mortgage,
is trying to take advantage of the
lady's inability on account of bad
roads to redeem half section of land
in Slope county within the prescribed
time Of one year. The lady had
travelled to Medora a few days before
the expiration period and offered the
necessary amount of money but the
new county of Slope had just been
created and the authorities were in
doubt at first whether or not to take
the money. The lady came back to
Dickinson and was advised to go to
Amidon at once and make legal
tender of the money which she did.
The roads were bad on account of the
deep snow and Mrs. Wade was about
20 hours late.
It is said that the land in question
is worth at least $40 per acre and if
Mr.. Major could hold it on his mort
gage he would be some $4,000 ahead.
Mrs. Wade, who is compelled to act as
the head Of her family, is offering to
pay Mr.. Major his principal, interest
and all legal expenses, and there is
little question as to the final result.
Our supreme court has already held
in similar case that mortgagor has
a right to redeem.
Egs Attorney Cain was accompanied as
far as New England by his wife.
Mrs. w. C. Crawford and HI. L. Reich
ert were also along, the ladies taking
the opportunity to visit Mrs. Geo.
A. Sarchet at New England while the
gentlemen went to Amidon to trans
act business.

C|V|CS CLASS OBSERVE
CONDITIONS IN CITY WARDS

The students in the civics class in
the Dickinson high school were given
as a topic for composition last week
"The Condition Of the Ward in Which
I Live" The compositions were all
very fine and it is pleasing to note
how much interest the students have
taken in "clean up week" this year.
The following are three of the many
papers which were prepared:
The Ward in Which Live.
The ward in which live is the first
ward. The aldermen Of this ward are
Mr.. Butler and Mr.. Pugh. The first
ward extends from the Second Ave-
nue. West to the Fifth Avenue West:
It is three blocks wide and six block
long. The streets and crossings in
the south part of the ward are the
best. In the north part some of the
crossings are uneven. The alleys
opening on the first. street are kept
clean and no ash or rubbish piles are
in sight. In the alleys farther north,
however, many rubbish heaps can be
seen and some of these alleys are
very dirty and are not credit to the
city Of Dickinson or the people living
near them. There are many houses in
this ward where the yards are clean
and nicely kept and it is pleasure
to walk by these. On the other hand
there are also a great many homes
where the yards are full of weeds and
the fences are very unsubstantial-
looking. Trees are a great addition
to any yard. If more trees were
planted, it would go long way to-
ward beautifying our city. The weeds
are pretty we'll cut down on the out
side of the fences. There are not a
great many vacant lots in this ward.
There are couple, nevertheless, that
are covered with tall weeds and are
not very pleasant to look upon. Most
of the buildings in this ward are in
good condition and there are only a
few buildings that are not kept in
good shape.
1t is also very essential that the
back yards of houses should be kept
looking as nice and clean as the front
yards. A dirty back yard will take
all the beauty from a lovely home and
front yard. There are not sidewalks
on all the streets of this ward. The
walks that are paved are in pretty
good condition, although every once
in a while, block is missing and this
is very dangerous at night as one
might stumble on these places and
hurt himself quite badly. There are
some splendidly kept boulevards and
this adds great deal to the appear
ance of the street. In the hot sum-
mer weather the streets often become
very dusty and it would be a good
thing if the water wagon would
moisten these strets as well as the
main streets Of the city. One very
good thing about this ward is that
the telephone and light poles are
placed in the alley and not in the
strets. If the weeds and rubbish
heaps could only be removed from the
alleys and back yards, the first ward
might we'll be called a credit to the
city of Dickinson.

0app May Seek The
Senate as GO. P. Man
Likely to Drop Bull Moose and Re
turn to His Former Love
in Politics

Senator Moses E. Clapp, whose poll
teal status in the senate has been a
SUBJECT OF more or less conjecture in
the past two years, is likely to clear
away the mystery soon by announcing
that he will file for the senatorship
in Minnesota in the primaries as a
republican, if reports current in the
Minnesota delegation are correct
This decision by the senate has
been reached, not suddenly but grad
ually, according to rumors. He has
realized since the recent election that
the progressive party is in extremis.
In fact, he realized it before the cam
paign was under way, it is whispered,
and took steps to avert the disaster
to the third party, but his counsel
was disregarded by those who are
now wiser but sadder.

Method Used

The municipal election of Redwood
Falls held yesterday was characterized
gby an unusual quietness due partly
Ito the fact tina there was no liquor
question to be voted upon, and partly
to the fact that in only two of the
sofhcers was there any contest, neither
aldermen having any opponent and
the city recorder and city treasurer
Succeeding themselves without any
opposition whatever.
In the election for mayor, the
friends of MI. Stensvad introduced an
element of contest by voting for him
by the "sticker" method. This was
done solely without Mr.. Stensvad's
consent, his attitude toward the mat
ter not having been consulted in any
way or at any time. G. E. Mckay,
the regular nominee for the office
was elected by vote of 247 to Mr..
Stensvad's 126, the latter being re-
markable showing for an unsolicited
vote. Mr.. Mckay has excellent sup
port in the two new aldermen as well
as in the old members of the council
and will undoubtedly accomplish much
for the good of Redwood Falls.

REAL MEANING OF FINEssE

|: :Einessa IS one 5f those wonderful
French words which seems to mean
so much and yet, when one hunts
them right down to their fundamen-
tai essence, turn out to mean really
nothing so very much at all.
The word fnesse as originally in
troduced in this country meant the
maneuver in whist, by which you take
trick from your opponents with a
card lower than your highest a card
inferior, also, to one possessed by
your opponents.
Speaking generally, without chas-
ing the word, too. near it's lair, finesse
means the art Of doing things niftily
II find it necessary to refer constant
ly TO American slang in order to get
the best definition for subtle French
expressions.
Now there is, sisters and brethren,
an old saying which saith that is isn't
so much what you do as how you do
it. The thing has tang of the South
about it, and / suspect that it really
isn't much older than the Louisiana
purchase; but, be that as it may, to
lift an expression from the newspa-
per editorial writer's, finesse has to
do with how you do things George

Autos on Increase
Report by SClln1ahl
Sixty-Five Thousand Machines i'm Min.
nesota; Suggestions Are Made
to Legislature

The number of licensed automobiles
~ minnesota has Increased ~ nsafiy
10000 in the last year, according to
the biennial report of Julius A.
Schmahl, secretary of state, made
public Saturday. The number of Ii
censed December 81, 1913, was 45,314,
and it. is now close to $4,000. In the
three-year registration period just
closed, Mr.. Schmahl says, automobile
license receipts have been about $780,
900. Nearly $4,000 has been realized
from motorcycle licenses, and $4,000
from chaffeur's licenses. In the next
three year period he predicts that a
registration of 10000 will be reached.
An extra staff of clerks will be needed
for the registration work in the next
few months and the legislature will
be asked to make an emergency ap-
preparation for this purpose The new
tags have been contracted for at TWEEN
ty-eight cents each, those of three
years ago costing forty-two cents.
Mr.. Schmahl recommends that the
board of examiners of chaffeurs be
given authority to enforce the law,
as many chaffeurs neglect to take out
licenses and no one is in a position
to check them up.
A card index system for corpora
tions has been installed at small cost,
in place of the old corporation books.
Receipts for the last two years, out
side of the automobile department,
have been: Candidates filing fees,
5000; corporation fling fees, $780,
305; other sources, $20,619.
Mr.. Schmahl calls attention to the
coming state census and urges that
an adequate appropriation be made by
the legislature early, so the work of
organizing for the census can be
started.
