worship Reveals Flor.
An attempt to blow up st. Patricks
Cathedral, in New York city, with
a bomb and the arrest Of two men by
detectives who had been Informed ror
| months of their activities.
The arrests were followed by an
! announcement made at police mead
{ quarters that the arrests had baked
an anarchist plot to kill with bombs
Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefel'
| ler, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and other
wealthy men.
There after the anarchists, accord
ing to the police, were to start IN
New York city a reign of terror COM
parable only to Se days of the French
revolution.
1t was part of the plot, the police
assert, for gangs of men armed with
rifles and revolvers to appear stimuli
taneously in various parts of the city
to shoot and to pillage; the biggest
banks of New York city were to be
blown up and many wealthy men
were to be slain.
The wrecking of the cathedral was
to be the signal for the opening OF
the campaign of murder and loot1ng'
The next move, according to the po'
lice. was to place bombs in the homes
of Andrew Carnegie, the Rockereilers
and Cornelius Vanderbilt.
With these and other capltalists
disposed of, the anarchists planned
according to the police, to invade tn'
financial district and lay their bombs
In the city's biggest banks. Genera
| looting was to follow.
For months a central office detec
tive had worked in the inner circle o
the anarchists, according to the pc
lice. and had kept the detective bu
| reau advised of all their plans. Th1
detective, Emilio Poignant, assisted
in the manufacture of the bomb will
! which the attempt was to be made tt
blow I'D the cathedral. The detective
| ACCOMPANIED the bomb thrower to the
| edifice and sat with him while HI
lighted the bomb and hurled it at th'
altar.
Immediately the cathedral, In whicl
800 persons sat at worship, becam
alive with detectives, whose presence
had been unsupported by the boml
carrier. Poignant, sitting besid
him, placed him under arrest; detec
tives sitting in the pew behind dash
ed into the aisle and stamped out tn
sputtering fuse. The congregatio
hardly realized what had happene
when 1t was all over and there wa
no panic.
At police headquarters the allege
bomb thrower said he was Franz
Abarno. a printer, twenty-four year
old. Soon after he was taken to head
quarters, detectives, acting upon II
formation given them by Polignan
arrested Charles Carone, eightee
years old, and charged him with con
plicity in the plot and with helping t
make the bomb.

Turk Forts CrumbIe Under Fire.

Turk Forts CrumbIe Under Fire.
A British admiralty announcement
In London says:
"The attack upon the forts of the
Dardanelles was continued. The ad'
miral has not yet reported the results
obtained within the straits. Outside
H. M. S. Dublin "a light cruiser OF
54O0 tons) demolished the observation
station of the Gallipoli peninsula.
"H. M. S. Sapphire bombarded guns
and troops at various points on the
Gulf of Adramyti. Six modern field
guns near Fort B were destroyed,
bringing the total demolished up to
forty.
French battleships bombarded the
Bulair forts and wrecked the Kavack
bridge"
An official report states that on
Tuesday the allied fleet destroyed bat
teries of forts Killid Bahr and Cha
nak and reached the town Of Darda'
nelles and three submarines the Turks
received from the Germans remain
dismantled and useless.
The Athens Idea Mazionale states
that the bombardment was renewed
on Thursday with extraordinary In
tensity on both sides, suggesting the
eruption of volcano. Everything was
blown into the air. At no point could
the Turks reply. The bombardment
ended at sunset.
A private dispatch records the ter.
rible effects of the 15-inch guns in the
bombardment. The Turks, with forts
and batteries completely destroyed,
were themselves entirely demoralized
and abandoned their strongholds.

Washington, March g. 6.-Secretary OF

After receiving the latest reports

patched an urgent message to Consul
Silliman at Vera Cruz, telling him to
make the strongest possible represen.
tations to General Carranza, urging
him to take some action which might
relieve the dangers threatening IN
the Mexican capital.
The food situation in Mexico City,
already causing serious concern to Of
ficials in Washington, has been fur
ther complicated by new decree by
General Obregon, the Carranza COM
mander, ordering all merchants in the
capital to open their shops and accept
Constitutionalist currency.
Many of the merchants in Mexico
City are foreigners, mostly Spaniards'
and the state department probably
will make representations to General
Carranza. For the refusal to accept
Carranza currency the penalty In the
decree issued by Obregon Is imprison'
.ment.
Officials in Washington fear serious
disorders In Mexico City unless the
food and monetary conditions I'M
prove very quickly.

THE FARGO BOTTLING
WORKS co.

Manufacturers of carbonated bever-
ages of every description. That just
about tells the story concerning the
above incorporated company. A spe-
cial distilled water for use in drug
stores and for family use has won
strong place for itself as being medic
inally safe and of non-germ quality.
Aerated Distilled Water, Extra Dry"
Ginger Ale, Root Beer, Strawberry
Soda, Lemon Soda, Sarsaparilla,
Lemon Seltzer, Ginger Ale, are a few
of the multifarious products turned
out by this firm. 1t was in 1897 when
this company came to pass, and after
lowering about in formation settled
down firmly on Fargo as its future
home and has there remained. Mr..
Addison Leech is the manager, and he
is also the city auditor. The differ
ent beverages are shipped out
through the state, some to Minnesota.
some to Montana, and some to South
Dakota. No effort is spared to insure
purity and non-adulterated extracts.
This policy is winning out and every
thing about the manufacturing plant
is indicative of snap, ginger, and push,
even as though the force of workers
were full of the fizz and pop found in
the summery liquid refreshments
which, they are busily engaged in COM
pounding.

EMMON'S LAUNDRY.

Although bearing the name of En-

establishment has in reality been in
operation for over thirty-seven years.
1t was in 1878 when it first saw the
dawn of day and since that time has
been busly at work at its location at
$40 First Avenue North. Five years
ago the laundry changed hands and
the firm of Emmons & Emmons is
now the owner from which the place
derives it's name. Ten employees look
after the better class of laundry upon
which the Emmons people specialize.
The building, 25x78, is amply ade-
quate under the present scientific
management for successful handling
of the business, although the present
indications point towards the neces-
sity for more help and a larger scope
of operation Most of the popularity
achieved has been due to the careful,
courteous catering to the higher class
and more exacting finish required in
complying with the resultant demand.
This has been accomplished to high
degree Improved methods, superior

goods, such as shirt waists, lingerie,
table napery receive the most pre-
ferred attention and all chance of
harsh treatment is absolutely elimi-
mated. This means the consideration

This is the oldest and best estab-
lished drug store in Fargo. OF course
the drug store is fast getting to the
stage when the drugs are but minor
part in the stock on hand. But here
is one place where careful, scrupu-
lous attention is devoted to the drug
trade, with the most painstaking care
given prescriptions. A fair stock of
proprietary medicines is on hand,
while the drug cabinets and cases are
so arranged as to facilitate quick put
ting up of prescriptions with the min
imum of effort A choice line of
cigars is a well-paying side feature,
while the usual supply of drug store
accessories such as magazines, toilet
articles, stationery, etc., are we'll rep

in the midst of Fargoites, these phar
macists have gradually acquired a
reputation for moral rectitude, fnan
cial responsibility and general good
business standing that counts not a

possessed by this firm. 1t is mighty
convenient to have druggist on
whom you can depend, and as the old

achieved to the fullest measure To

that the Grand is at 622 First avenue

NORTH DAKOTA.

North Dakota contains approXi

population is approximately 100000.
On the basis of it's assessed valuation,
$1,000 per acre, the land is worth
$87OOO6,OOO. The average price of
the land is low, simply because there
are between Is and 19 million acres of
unoccupied farm land admirably suit
ed for agricultural purposes.
