Rialto Theatre
} to Feature S. e C..
Vaudeville Acts

Tom Vallancey, who will manage
the new theatre in Dickinson, was in
town this week making arrangements
for decorating the interior of the new
playhouse. Mr.. Vallancey says that
the new theatre will be one of the
finest in this section of the state and
the bookings will be the best obtain
able. There will be seating capac-
ity of 46O, the project of having a
balcony having been dismissed. A
beautiful scenic curtain Of asbestos
will add beauty to the interior decora-
tions as well as assuring preventive
against fire. Mural scapes in panel
effects will grace the walls and the
modern system of indirect lighting
will obtain. Old rose will be the
color scheme and the seats will be OF
fumed oak. A twenty-foot stage will
be sufficient to accommodate all
vaudeville and tabloid acts. A gold
fibre drop for the screenings will
background projections from two
high -tensioned Powers No. 6 ma
chimes. BY a transverter, system
of changing reels without stoppage
will do away with impatient waits be-
tween actions on the screen. Mr..
Vallancey announces that The Rialto,
which will be the name Of the new
show house, will show a one-day book
ing over the famous Sullivan & Con-
sidine circuit. This time carries
all high class acts and will add con-
siderably to the amusement features
here. A, complete set Of files, drops
and flats will be placed in the house,
thus providing sets for every char
acter of act on the road.
Owing to the delay in getting the
scenery, The Rialto will not be ready
for opening until about the middle OF
December. Full announcement will be
made in The Press.
Now comes the question as to which
is the proper pronunciation of Rialto
the new theatres name. Dictionaries
differ so you can take your own
choice as to whether you wish to pro-
nounce the "a'' as in "all'' or as in
"cat." Either is correct, although
the latter pronunciation is used more
generally. The "i" is pronounced as

TWO FRYBURG HOMES
DESTROYED BY FIRE

Two farm homes, within mile Of
each other, north of Fryburg, We're
destroyed by fire last week, both
losses being partially covered by in
surance. A defective chimney is sup
posed to have started the fire which
destroyed the home of John Roth.
Just few articles Of furniture were
saved by Mrs. Roth, who was alone
in the house at the time of the fire.
It was during the supper hour that
the roof of Andrew Miller's house
caught afire. Everything in the house
was destroyed except a few household
goods. A threshing crew, which was
at supper, fought the fire but could
not stop it, so they saved what was
possible. Mr.. Miller's home cost more
than $4,000, including the contents
and the insurance is much short of
this figure. Kind neighbors are MAX
ing room in their homes for the two
families for the present.

LOYALTY LEAGUE
TO SEND CHRISTMAS
BOXES TO SOLDIERS

The Loyalty League met at the
armory Monday night in regular ses-
sion and previous to the drills, a
business meeting was held. The
roster carried the names of 141 mem
bers, nearly all of whom were pres
ent. Since then the list has swollen
to 166 members.
The committee composed of w. L.
Richards, M. E.. Hall and F. l.. Ro-
quette which has been selected to con-
fer with committee of the Ladies
Patriotic Aid, looking toward coali-
tion with the main body, returned a
report, recommending that the ladies'
organization be affiliated with the
Loyalty League without entry fees
A resolution moving the adoption OF
the report which specified that any
girl over 16 years of age was eligible
carried unanimously. Membership
cards will be presented to every mem
ber of the two leagues. The League
moved to permit the ladies to arrange
for the supplying of Christmas boxes
for every man who is representing
this county in some brahch of the
military service. The officers Of the
League were given authority to levy
an assessment upon each member tc
defray expenses incident to furnishing
these boxes. The secretary, M. A
Scherffius, was instructed to procure
the names of every man from this
county now in service. It was decided
to allow the use of the armory fol
no other purpose than that demanded
by the Loyalty League. A fedora:
oath was taken by 40 members OF
the Home Guard military company
finance the Signal Corps school fol
this city. A bureau Of information
will be established, by which it will be
possible to keep in touch with oul
boys at all times.
Splendid drills followed the bust.
ness meeting, improvement being
noted in all the movements. Their
came the baseball games which are
going to prove strong features al
these meetings.

50 HORSES RS J:
BOUGHT !! | / FOR
GOVERNMENT
LOT SHIPPED THIS WEEK TO
MASSACHUSETTS DEPOT. NO
DISEASE AMONG ANIMALS
Representative Norton Goes After
Stock Spectators. Delaney
Has Bond, Up

An inspection of horses was held in
Dickinson Tuesday at the stockyards.
About 125 horses were brought in by
horsemen and farmers and the Gov
ernment officers passed so. These
were shipped Wednesday to Massa-
chusetts. Prices ranged from $145
up. The Government is making
special effort to get stock for cavalry
and light artillery. Inspections were
held this week at Belfeld, Mandan
and jamestown. Joe Cain, Sam
Rhodes, Con Short and Britt & Town
send are doing most of the rounding
up Of horses in this territory. Bert
Townsend stated to Press repre-
sentative that about 5000 head Of
horses had already left this state for
Government service and there was no
definite way of deciding the capacity
of this district for supplying re-
mounts. Most of the farmers, said he
are offering all the horse-fesh that
they can spare. There is practically
no disease among the horses in this
region, said he, the farmers and stock
raisers finding no evidence of all
aents. Captain G. A. Scott, 1t. C. c..
Weeks and the civilian clerk, Paul H.
Reid, all stationed at Fort Keogh,
Mont, represented the Government at
the inspection. Another inspection is
scheduled to be held in about two
weeks, announcement of which will be
made in The Press. Farmers and
stockmen are urged to get their
horses to the stockyards on the date
which will be given.
Representative Norton has written
to The Press stating that he has been
investigating the charges that some
horse buyers are buying horses from
farmers and others and allowing them
a sum much short of that paid by the
Government. He says that Herman
E. Collicott of Hettinger, sheriff of
Adams county, has, in more than
one instance, realized quite sum by
acting as middleman. Horses that
the Government purchased for $160
were bought from the farmers for
$100. Government officers say that
horses can not be bought in less than
carload lots, therefore it is almost es-
sential that some one represent the
mass of farmers in district in gath
ering the horses at the place Of in
spection. The middleman could be en-
tirely eliminated if the farmers would
put up a bond to insure delivery at
a certain time of certain amount of
horses. Mr.. Richards states that Mr..
Delaney is under a heavy bond to
supply the Government with j
certain number of horses and he is
gathering all suitable horse-fesh that
can be obtained.

Girls Drill Much Il
Better Than Men,
Says Major Osborn

Several members of the Home
Guard offered Josh Osborn various
sums for the privilege of taking his
place Wednesday evening as drill
master at the armory but Josh
couldn' be induced to part with his job
on that night. For why? Well, that
was the night that the Ladies Auxili-
ary Of the HSme Guard were put
through their PAGES as soldiers. Ex-
cept for the drill master, no men were
supposed to be present on the initial
night but M. E. Hall sneaked in and
claimed the privilege of assisting in
the drills as he did for the male men,
bers. That would have been all right
but a lot more sneaked and snooped
awkward squads. Fifty-four beauti-
full girls and ladies lined up for their
first instructions in the art Of drilling
and Captain Osborn asserts in all sim
cerity that the ladies did more per-
feet work than have the men. Why,
the girls will tell you the same thing,
so it must be the truth. They make
fine looking soldiers, too. The ladies
are to have another meeting this week
to appoint executive officers. The
total membership of the auxiliary
now numbers 81 and it is confidently
thought that many more will join be-
fore many drills are held. The main
question that is agitating the auxili-
ary just now is the problem Of uni
forms. The general desire seems to
be for boomers at nee-length dis
cretion while some few are more in
clined to ankle length effects. This
is matter that must be settled en-
tirely by the ladies, themselves. Here
is the roster to date:
Vera Hartung, Catherine Eldred,
Mrs. T. N. Hartung, Stasia McKeever,
Agnes Moe, Mrs. A. J. Osborn, Jessie
Leask, Eva Foster, Thelma Osborn,
Minnie Angliss, Christine Larsen,

II Did, Didn IT,
Witness Swears One WAY and
Then Reverses Himself in
Bootlegging Case

The Sullivan case came up in Judge
Sterland's court Tuesday and the de-
fendant was dismissed for lack of cvi
dencc. Joe Kadrmas, who swore that
he had received whiskey from SuI!i-
van when he was arrested some time
ago, testified Tuesday that he was
drunk when he made affidavit to tha.
effect and did not buy booze from Sui
livan. Judge Stcrland, thercupon,
committed kadrmas to Jail undcr
$500 bail for perjury. The bail HIS
been furnished and he will appear fo.'
trial on November oath. Judge Stcr-
land says this establishes a precedent
for those unwilling witnesses who
come into his court and testify falsely.
He is determined to stick every one Of
them.

INDOOR BASEBALL
CLUB ORGANIZED

Immediately following the drills at
the armory Monday night, indoor
baseball occupied the attention of sew
eral who were present: Four teams
were organized: The Masons,
Knights Of Columbus, Elks and the
Home Guard. Two spirited games
were played. The Elks rolled up
nineteen runs while their opponents
squeezed in seven runs. The Masons
put it over the Home Guard to the
tune of seven to three. Considerable
interest is being manifested in this
new feature and it is thought that
some good games will be played at
the armory in the near future, ad-
missions being charged to increase the
League Fund. "Red" Willis startled
the crowd by grandstand playing,
making a phenomenal catch. Father
Dignam also distinguished himself in
this line. M. E. Hall holds the pitch
ing championship. Batting averages
have not been figured but Detloff,
Blanchard, Hughes and Lish were
above the 300 class. F. L. Roquette
and son, Llewellyn, felded grounders
in National League style and Oscar
Forde thought he was interference in

into form. It is thought that ad-
missions will be charged in order to
raise funds for the Home Guard.
The games scheduled for Friday
this week will be K. G. VS.. Home

Paid Six be- oest; a
Travelling Mans Bill Was Is
Cents Shy and He Didn't
Want to Settle

A. w. Levy, drummer for the Chi
cago Chemical Speciality Co., was here
in September and when he checked
out at the st. Charles hotel, he paid
his bill as rendered. After his de-
parture, Gordon Downs, the clerk, dis
covered that the bill was made out
75c shy. He forwarded bill for this
amount to Levy but no answer was
received. This week Levy came 10
town and stopped at the. St. Charles.
"Ha! Hap exclaimed Gordon, "here's
me chance" And he presented the
bill. Levy couldn't see it. Officer
Graf was summoned and he arrested
Levy on a warrant issued by Judge
Folsom. At the trial Tuesday, MI.
Levy paid the 75c, the complainant
settling with the officer.
