Base US
Call M b for
Monday EUening

Base ball fans will meet in the
Commercial Club rooms next Monday
evening in effort to prepare plans for
Dickinson team for the ensuing
season. An organization has already
been formed at New England, which
is making an effort to sign up Nor
thrup and Doherty, Dickinson's crack
battery of last year. Other towns of
the Slope are also organizing for the
base ball season-why not Dickinson !?
The Dickinson base ball team of
last year made an enviable record,
being defeated only twice during the
entire season. More interest than
ever will undoubtedly be shown this
summer because of the fact that Sum-
day base ball is legalized.
Those backing the proposed organi-
zation hope for a record breaking at
tendance at the meeting Monday
evening, as all who feel interested in
a good team for the coming summer
are requested to attend.

of Mr.. and Mrs. O. A. Breda, died on
Tuesday evening after only few
days. illness with scarlet fever. Ow-
ing to quarantine, no funeral services
could be held. j. C. Duling, pastor of
the Congregational church, accom-
panied the undertaken with the body
to the cemetery, where he read the
ritual and offered prayer, after which
the body was laid to rest.
Little Esther was the youngest
daughter in the family, quiet, loving
child, who won her way into the
hearts of all who knew her.
The circumstances attending the
death and burial of this daughter are
such as to touch all hearts with sym+
pathy for the grief stricken family.
The Breda home is still under
quarantine, Laura, an other daugh-
ter, having contracted the disease the
middle of the week and Miss Millie
having come down with it on Thurs
day morning. Alvin and julius Breda
are the only members Of the family
not included in the quarantine. The
latter is in St. Joseph's hospital, re-
covering from an appendicitis opera
tion, which he underwent the first of
the week. 'E's e. s-&',

About $4,000 in Back Pay
" For Dickinson Trainmen

Dickinson railroad men will receive
approximately $4,000 in back pay and
will in the future receive for the
same service as rendered in the past
from $500 to $4,000 additional per
man per month, if they are in the
freight or yard service. This effects
about 1875 men who headquarter in
Dickinson, and was effected through
the recent strike eight-hour-day set
tlement between the railroad and the
four brotherhoods of railway train
men. Trainmen on branch lines,
where overtime is more general, will
benefit most. tss.s
Representatives of the railroads
and the brotherhoods of trainmen
are now in conference in New York
arranging working plans, that will be
satisfactory to all concerned. Men
well informed in railroad circles be-
lieve that efforts will be made to
shorten freight divisions, thus elimi-
mating the overtime feature to q
considerable extent.

POPULAR DRUG FIRM TO
STOCK GARROTT CANDIES

Welton Mcdonald & Co., druggists,
have stocked the famous CARROT
high-grade chocolates and confections,
and will hereafter carry a complete
variety of these candies, fresh each
week from the factory.
CONNECTIONS are perishable food
products, and must reach the con-
sumer not very long after they are
made. The manufacturers of CARROT
candies pride themselves upon this
feature Of their service. They prac-
tically make candy to order, and
most of the candy shipped out is
made the day before shipment.
Stale goods will not be offered for
sale, and a guarantee of freshness
and purity goes with every box. The
Carrot system of handling and the
purity of the goods are nowhere ex-
celled, and Welton Mcdonald & Co.
ongratulate themselves upon the
fact that they were able to secure
the representation of the famous
Carrot line.

LOCAL BANKS TO CASH
PENSION WARRANTS FOR
co, K MEMBERS AT PAR

The banks of Dickinson will cash at
par the pension checks of Company
K, North Dakota National Guard,
such was the decision made public
the fore part of the week. This
money will. not become available until
July 1st, and consequently, as an ac-
commodation to the "boys" the banks
of the city will take up the warrants
at face value, without discount and
interest, and carry them until such a
time as the appropriation is avail
able.
This unselfish act on the part of
the city's banking institutions will be
appreciated, not only by the members
of Company K, but by the citizens as
we'll.

THE CHAUTAUQUA
BILL IS ANNOUNCED
FOR NEXT SUMNER

Ihe dates TOR the VaWter Chautau-
qua in Dickinson next summer have
been set for June 26th to June 3Oth,
and it is asserted that this years pro-
gram is the strongest ever offered on
the five-day circuit by this popula,
company. j. H. Rohde, field manager
was in the city Thursday showing pro
grams and completing local arrange
ments incident to the summers at
fractions.
Adam Bede Coming
Perhaps the announcement that the
Hon. J. Adam Bede, former congress
man from Minnesota and the "Humor-
ist of the House," is to lecture here
will create more genuine enthusiasm
than that of any other attraction.
Mr.. Bede has for many years been
prominent in the public life of his
state and has been a conspicuous fig
ure in national politics, being regard
ed as one Of the ablest debaters in
the Republican party.
Some Good Music
Music this year, as usual, will be a
feature Of the Chautauqua. AS nov
city, and at the same time classical
musical attraction we will have a
quintet of native Hawaiians. Hawai-
ian music has become decidedly popu-
lar recently and the demand for such
an attraction is said to- have been IN
:sistent over the circuit.
The Maids of Killarney is the name
of an organization which Mr.. Rohde
declares will prove to be one of the
''hits" of Chautauqua. This is one of
the Ralph Dunbar companies and in
cludes the four Kirksmith sisters of
the old Kirksmith Singing Orchestra.
The Cathedral Choir, an octette of
eight trained singers and accompanist,
will present a program made up of
classics of sacred musical literature
and interspersed with some of the
stately old hymns of the church. The
singers will be dressed in the custo-
mary vestments of the cathedral and
their program will consist of solos,
male and mixed quartets, duets, and
ensemble numbers. The Venetian
Trio will present program of elias IL
cal and popular music in happy COM
bination.
Evening of Drama
A pleasing feature of Chautauqua
promises to be the appearance of the
Boston Players in one Of the stand
ard modern dramas. This company
has been organized for the purpose Of
supplying good, clean drama to the
patrons Of lyceum and chautauqua.
Splendid Speakers
Charles H. Plattenberg, who will!
lecture on the fourth afternoon, is the
avowed enemy of the mail order
houses. His logic is said to be con-
vincing. DR.. E. A. Brinton has a
fascinating lecture on "The Land of
War and Women" The Hon. George
w. Thompson, an Indiana legislator,
is also one of the foremost journalists
in literary Hoosierdom. He is said to
be brilliant speaker.
Everett Kemp, the impersonator,
will give one of his programs on the
last afternoon of Chautauqua.

The Dickinson Red Cross organiza-
tion would like to increase it's men,
bership to 500. There is urgent need

way in it's membership and financial
campaign. The Dickinson Red Cross
society was the first of it's kind to
be organized in North Dakota-let it
remain the foremost.
There are at present about $50
members Of the local organization,
and they have been most active in
the several departments. Funds are
badly needed, however, and several
plans are under way to provide ad-
ditional supplies. Every citizen is
urged to join. Make application, en-
closing the fee of one dollar, either to

DICKINSON LADY HAS
EXCITING EXPERIENCE
IN IDAHO SNOWSLIDES

In the two weeks that Mrs. O. c..
Maercklein has been with her husband
at Wallace, Idaho, she has had some
very exciting experiences. The
Hector mine in which Mr.. Maercklein
is interested, is situated in a noun
tain region, covered with timber, that
just barely escaped the big forest
fire of six years ago. Following is a
clipping from Sundays Wallace Press
which tells of the experience of Mrs.
Maercklein and her hostess at the
time of one of the many frequent
snow slides in that territory:
"The miners at the Hector mine
had to get their own breakfast Sat-
urday morning as the result of a
snowslide. Mrs. Arthur George, wife
Of the manager. of the property, ac-
companied by Mrs. Maercklein Of
Dickinson, N. D., visitor at the
home of the Georges, were in Wallace
Friday evening. They intended to go
back to their home that night. They
secured rig and started out but
when they had gone about mile they
ran into a slide and were forced to
turn back. It so happened that the
supply of eatables at the property was
rather low and Mrs. George was to
have taken out some with her on her
return trip. Realizing this, the two
women arose early Saturday morning
and hiked the entire distance to the
property, in spite of the ever attend
ant danger of snowslides."
The George family are former Dick
inson residents. Mrs. Maercklein
writes that she may be expected home
about Sunday.

NO WOLF BOUNTY
AFTER JULY FIRST

The state will cease paying for
dead wolves after July 1, as a result
of the governors veto of the appro-
priation provided for this purpose.
In fact, the state has practically
stopped payment now, for lack of
funds. March 1, the state auditor
had on file wolf bounty certificates
calling for $4,000, and he had but
$4,000 with which to honor them.
Certificates now on file for $4,000
cannot be paid, and new patches, some
calling for payments of as much as
$50, representing twenty dead var
mints, to one individual, are coming
in daily. The state auditor is mailing
out letters to certificate holders ad-
vising that the laws of 1913 relating
to wolf bounties, were repealed by
Senate Bill No. 1913, and that no
bounty will be offered after July 1,
and that it will be necessary for the
legislature of 1919 to appropriate
money with which to redeem unpaid
registered certificates issued prior to
July 1. In the meantime certificates
are being registered and returned to
the senders, whom, legislature and
Providence willing, may collect the
amount due, without interest, two
years hence.
The wolf bounty law was secured
in early days largely through the un-
firing. efforts of the representatives
from the Thirty-frst Legislative dis
trict land recalls the names of A. C.
McGillivray, J. A. Farrah, Leslie A.
Simpson, w. A. Mcclure, Frank Lish
and others from this locality, who had
to reckon with the strong Red River
Valley contingent in first securing
the law and then for many years in
preventing it's repeal.

FORMER DICKINSON GIRL
TO BECOME BRIDE

The following announcement of
the engagement of former Dickin-
son young lady appeared in a recent
issue of the "Woodland (Calif.) Daily
Democrat"
"The engagement of Miss Leah
Fowler of Woodland and Russell E.
Vaughn of Martinez has been made
public. All that will temper the sin
cerest congratulation in Woodland is
the fact that the present Miss Fowler
will change her place of residence.
The bride-to-be is a daughter of
Mrs. B. F. Fowler of this city. She
was a member Of the class of rs;
Woodland high school. She is a
bright and capable girl, who has quail
fled as an expert stenographer. After
leaving school she was engaged in the
county clerks office, but latterly has
been connected with A. C. Huston's
law offices. She is an admirable
young woman.
"Vaughn is the son of L. K.
Vaughn and is a Martinez business
man Of excellent repute. He and his
bride will live in his home city.
"The wedding will take place this

Spring Work Will
Begin Next Week
Prediction Made

Spring work in the fields will un-
doubtedly begin next week, providing
there is no change in the weather
conditions. More snow than usual fell
in this locality the past winter, but
at that our snow fall was but very
little as compared with the snow in
the northern and eastern parts of the
state. Scores of automobiles again
line the streets of Dickinson, and
there is every indication that spring
is here to stay.

still number to arrive as soon as
the government provides transporter

from their present locations to the
Dickinson headquarters.
Sgt. Monson is employed in his
fathers trunk factory at Fargo, Kinds
and Mclaughlin are at Minot, Fossen
at Valley City, George Brodie is at
tending the university at Minneapolis,
Stanton is at Des Moines, Bertelson

Thompson andVanstrum are in Min
neapolis, Vessey at Valley City and
Woodrich at Lisbon. Bugler Lenhardt
was taken i'll while with the company
at the Mexican border, and his con-
dition still is such that he cannot
join his comrades. First Lieutenant
Wiley recently rendered his resigna-
ton to the department and it is un-
derstood that it has been accepted,
and as result he will undoubtedly
remain out on the ranch.
No Special Orders
No further orders are expected by
Company K until after congress con-
venes next Monday. The war depart
ment will undoubtedly take some
action next week and the local COM
pany ordered to some point for guard
duty, perhaps to the seaboard.
