ceptionally bitter. 1t began at 4;30
o'clock Sunday morning and con-
tinued for three hor without inter-
ruption. British advanced positions
were driven in, but the support units
ioined the issue with the Germans.
Many hand to hand encounters fol-
lowed. There was also more actually
aimed rifle shooting than for many
months. During this fire the Germans
fell in clumps. They attempted to
seek cover behind bushes and in small
thickets. The British fred into these
with good results. When the reserves
came up at last the Germans broke

Seven Buildings
= Burn at Thedford;
Loss is $4,000

Thedford, Neb., April l6.-Local in
vestigators believe the fire which
swept seven buildings in the business
district here Sunday was the result of
incendiarism. The blaze started in a
garage, where twenty barrels of gaso-
line exploded. No one was about at
the time The terrific shock broke
window panes across the street and
in an instant the whole garage was a
mass of flames. The fire quickly
spread to surrounding buildings. The
damage is estimated at $4,000. A
heavy snow which began falling short
ly after the fire broke out saved the
entire town from burning.

SEEK SUBSTITUTE
FOR SALOON CLUB
Omaha Clergymen Join With
Gospel Mission to House
the Hangers On"
TO SERVE REFRESHMENTS

A substitute for the saloon as a
lounging place is sought by the
Omaha Ministerial union and the
Union Gospel Mission.
The Ministerial union has decided
to cooperate with the Union Gospel
Mission to expand the facilities and
equipment of the latter so that it will
accommodate more men, and so that
it can be made true social center to
substitute for the saloon in a sense.
OF course it will substitute merely as
a lounging place, and place of en-
tertainment, not in the matter Of
stimulants.
At the morning meeting of the
Ministerial union this matter was
taken up following a report on the
subject by special committee ap-
pointed for that purpose some weeks
ago.
Light Drinks There.
Refreshments are to be served there,
perhaps along the line of sandwiches
and soft drinks. At least that is the
general plan as it is now tentatively
thought out. The Union Gospel Mis-
sion with its reorganized board of d.
rectors intends to attack this problem
vigorously. The Missions home is at
present between Thirteenth and Four
tenth on Douglas streets.
Rev. A. A. DeLarme read an able
paper on advertising from the Angle
of the Church" He strongly advo-
Gated campaigns of newspaper and
billboard advertising for the churches.
The opinion that came out in the dis
custom following, was that the sooner
the churches recognize the import
ance of carrying on regular campaigns
of advertising just as any other bust
ness, the better it will be and the
larger congregations they will get.

recently struck In the Philippines. 1t
Is located in the town Of San Fernan-
do, on the island Of ,Teao. At the
depth of 4O5 feet an enormous vein Of
water was struck, with such a gas
pressure that the volume was thrown
80 feet In the air. 1t was only by ex-
erting every possible effort that
small flood was averted. The flow was
finally checked, however, and the wa
ter directed out and downward

which it continues to rush with IN

that it is heavily charged with car

like ordinary soda water, but analysis

Many persons cannot attend motion
pictures because Of the annoying az

from eyestrain and others are subject
to severe headaches. The relief, In
most cases, consists In perfeetly-fitted

be quite so sharp. but this is more than
compensated for by the increased COM
fort. For persons with very sensitive
eyes, colored glass, either amber,

ford immediate relief. 1t is also adj
visable for those who are liable to suf-

COMPLAINT
BEINGFILED
With. &C.
Fargo Commercial Club
Takes Up Fargo Twin
City Fares

F. o. Gibbs, traffic commissioner Of
the Fargo Commercial club, has filed
complaint with the interstate COM
merce commission calling attention to
the passenger fares between Moorhead
and the twin cities and between Fargo
and the twin cities and in which Mr..
Gibbs states that this is another in
stance wherein the aggregate of inter-
mediates is less than the through
rate.
In the complaint Commissioner
Gibbs shows that the present passen-
ger fare between Moorhead and St.
Paul is $4.91 while between Fargo and
st. Paul 1t is $3.50. Between Moor
head and Minneapolis the fare Is $4.65
and between Fargo and Minneapolis
the fare is 1857.
In his complaint with the interstate
commerce commission Mr.. Gibbs says:
"It will be observed that the rates
to and from Fargo, N. u. and Minne-
apolis, Mimi. and st. Paul, Mimi, is
90 cents more than the rates from and
to Moorhead, Mimi. from st. Paul, and
Minneapolis, Mimi, the difference in
distance being less than one Cd mile. !
"As this condition is unjustly dis
criminatory against Fargo, N. D., and
unduly preferential in favor of Moor
head. Mimi, we assume that mas
much as oyu have recently rendered
a decision in the complaint Of the st.
Louis Business Mems league, versus
the Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe
railway, ct al. Docket No. 80S3-(41-
!. c. C.-13-29) which embodies the
same principle and which is an identi-
cally similar case, that you might
consider 1t within your province to
undertake to adjust this matter with
out the necessity Of making formal
complaint.
This is another instance wherein
the aggregate Of intermediates Is less
than the through rate, and the con-
tinuance of this abnormal condition
subjects the travelling public TO great
annoyance and inconvenience in their
efforts to secure the benefit of the
lowest fare and the criticism of the
carriers is so severe that the pre-
sumption is that the railroads would
be perfectly willing to put Fargo on a
parity with Moorhead as far as this
passenger fare is concerned"

IS COMMITTED
TO THE ASYLUM
Ida Siostron1, Who Went Violently In.
sane Recently, Will Be Taken To
jamestown.

Ida Sjostrom, who, for the past
three or four months has been work.
ing in the restaurants of this city and
who recently went violently insane,
has been committed to the hospital
for the insane at jamestown by the
Cass County insanity commission.
Miss Sjostrom is a daughter of
Swan Peter Sjostrom of Gainesville,
Grant county, Minnesota. After she
went insane the police communicated
with the father and the next day
someone telephoned Chief of Police
Troyer stating that he was the faith
er Of the girl and had arrived in the
city to take charge Of her. However,
that day and the next passed and no
one reported to the police station and
investigation showed that the father
had not come for the young woman
at least no one had registered at any
Of the hotels by the name of Sjostrom.
The result was that the young wo-
man had to be taken before the au-
thorities in this county and was COM
mitted to the jamestown institution.
