day following, the newspaper of which he was
then the editor. came out in its usual course,
somewhat dishgured, but still in the ring.
i recall how soon afterwards he located in a
more substantial building on lower Farnam street
and conducted his newspaper against the greatest
OF odds and against claims and debts and all sorts
Of controversies and contentious remember
how he succeeded and later on how he caused the
construction of the magnificent new building.
recall all of these things and I was greatly
shocked at his sudden and unexpected taking
away at the age of only S. But although he had
not lived to the full limited allotment Of men, he
had accomplished much He had done the work
OF regiment Of men. The enterprises that he
naugurated still continue to exist, and they will
remain through all coming time. We can say
Of him that he was loyal to his country; he was
kind to his family; he was true to his friends: he
was generous to his employees, and he was faith
full to every interest entrusted to him."

APPEAL
FOR The
!. N. {. A.
% the Citizens Of Fargo:-

To the Citizens Of Fargo:-
The board of directors Of the Young
Mems Christian Association of this
city desires to present to you for your
earnest consideration a situation which
ought to make a strong appeal to you.
Fargo is a rapidly growing city. The
demands upon the Y. M. c. A. are
greater each year, the membership has
doubled. These things mean increased
expense. The board of directors are
business men who give freely Of their
time and efforts to keep the Y M. C. A.
up to a reasonable standard of eff
ficiency, yet they are facing again this
year a deficit of over $1,000. This does
not include money borrowed to meet
deficits OF the two years previous to
this year. The expenses Of the asso-
citation have not exceeded the budget,
but we haze not been able to raise the
amount of the hElget. There are prom
ised subscriptions and memberships
sufficient to meet this deficit, if the
friends Of the "Y" will only respond.
That the people may know just what
it costs to maintain this association,
we beg to submit the following figures:
Our expenses for the current year have
been over $4,000, the chief items of
$4,000; heat and light $2,66S; general
expenses $4,000: maintenance of build
ing $1,000; physical department, $1,000.
The income has been around $4,000,
of which the principal items are:
Rentals, practically $4,000; member
ship and subscriptions $500; then
there are miscellaneous items of in
come which approximate $4,000 or
more. This year the board has noted,
with great regret, the very heavy fall
ing off of the SIS business mems sus-
tanning memberships; where $4,000 had
been expected, only a little moro than
$1,000 has been secured.
We anticipate that no one seriously
questions the value of the Y. M. G. A.
and the large place that it fills in the
better life of this city. The board of
directors is acting on that assumption
and during the coming week is going
to make a vigorous effort to raise suf-
ficient money to close this year with
out a deficit. We must have your help.
We believe we shall not be disappoint-
ed. For the board of directors,
Walter L. Stockwell.

ELKS ARRANGE
DICKINSON TRIP

At a. meeting of the local lodge Of
the Benevolent, Protective Order or
Elks, held last night, the matter or
sending a large delegation to the Dick
inson convention was taken up ana
letters are being sent out to the other
lodges of the state for special tram
to be run out of Fargo.
The convention will be held on June
16 and II and the plan is to run a
train of Pullman cars out of Fargo
on the evening OF June 15. In addt-
ton to the Fargo ElkS the Grand Forks
delegation will leave here on that eve
ming and delegations will be picked
up at Valley City, jamestown, BIS
marck and Mandan. In addition to
these Devils Lake will be picked up at
jamestown and Minot at Valley City.
"a BE- M, lssl3|ay tha+ 1gillistea will else
GO to Valley City but tIais is not
decided as this lodge might go around
through Montana.
The Dickinson meeting is going to
be q hummer in every respect. That
town is not saving expense to put on
something out of the ordinary and
among other things a real wild west
show will be put on. Three cars OF
cattle are contracted for rop1ng and
branding purposes and there will be
a. great contest between the punchers
of the Dickinson vicinity and those
from across the state line in Mon
tana.
This will be a real stunt of the wild
west which is very rapidly becoming
extinct,
The Fargo Elks will have a big
delegation, at least one care leaving
from here. The Pullman train will be
left on the tracks at Dickinson and
will be used during the two days OF
the meeting, the return trip starting
the night the convention closes.

INSPECTS
CADETS

The cadet battalion of the agricul-
tural college was inspected this morn
ing by Major Monroe Mcfarland OF the
general staff, u. S. A.
Sharp at 8 o'clock this morning the
cadet battalion at the Agricultural COL
lege marched on to the parade ground
to the martial strains Of the college
cadet band.
The clouds were lowering and snow
was falling lightly but this only seemed
to lend snap to the boys in their
maneuVerS.
After passing IN review the battalion
marched to the armory, where the
manual of arms and close order In
squads was executed.
On account Of the inclement weather
the inspection was materially curtailed
much to the disappointment Of the 900
or 400 people who gathered to Watch
the cadets.
AS is usual on such occasions Major
Mcfarland was very reticent, although
he did remark that this was the coldest
weather encountered on his tour OF in
spection.
Lit. Fred 3. Carrithers, commandant
at the college, received much favorable
comment on the fine appearance OF the
12O men who reported for duty this
morning, and upon the masterful way
they carried out many Of the intricate
formations.
