Tuesday Fargo will be in the throes
| of double election-the regular mu-
| nicipal election at which there will
be chosen a president Of the city COM
mission. two commissioners. a police
| magistrate and a justice of the peace;
and recall election in which an eff
fort is being made to recall Police
Comm: Ssioner J. H. Dahl.
With three candidates for president
/ Of the city commission. and with eight
candidates running, for. two seats on
the commission. the election will be
interesting.
| The voter will be given two ballots,
one containing the names of the can
didates in the regular municipal cleo
which appears the name of ]. III. Dahl
who is seeking to be retained in office
and William Mills. who is running for
his seat in the commission.
There have been some theories rel
ative to the recall ballot. that should
be dispelled. In voting this ballot the
elector should put his mark. opposite
the name of the candidate he wishes
to place in Office. Some have Iabored
under the impression that the mark
should be put opposite the name of
the man whom they want recalled.
Mr.. Mills is not a member Of the
commission and therefore cannot be
recalled. while Mr.. Dahl can. The bal
lot is the same as any other-the vot-
er should put the cross opposite Mr..
Dahl's name if it is the voters desire
to retain him in office, or opposite the
name Of Mr.. Mills If the voter wishes
to vote for Mills. .

Madrid.


Besides stepping into the place Of
France and Italy in supplying America
with antiques, curios, ETC., the war Is
also having the effect Of giving Spain
a good deal of the American trade in
perfumes, toilet articles and soaps,
which used to go from France, in large
quantities. Some OF these articles,
such as CASTLE soap. have their origin
here in CASTLE.
1t is in the American demand for
their art treasures that the Spanish
are taking their chief interest. Buy
ers for the big American department
stores are now coming here for the
first time instead OF to Florence, Milan,
Paris and other art centers from which
it would be risky to ship art treasures
now.
America would have received a num-
Der OF the paintings of the great Span
ish master, Goya, if 1t had not been for
a recent complication at the New York
custom house. The pictures actually
went to New York, were held on the
pier for some time because OF irregu-
larities in making out papers, and were
finally sent back here unopened. The
owner had meantime made two trips
to New York, but at last gave up the
shipment as hopeless. One OF the pic"
lures was Goya's study of Madame
Haro, another his Virgin painted on
a panel Of wood, and third a peasant
dance, on wood.
Another artist is now taking to
America a Titan, called Salidad (soli-
tude). The value recorded here is $780,
600 pesetas.

ANCIENT SPAIN
is DISAPPEARING
(By Assoclated Press.,

Madrid, March 31.-There are some
curious features OF the increase in
trade between Spain and America
which has resulted from the subma-
rine war and the cutting OF Germanys
trade with Spain. While American
automobiles are having q great boom
in Spain. they have one curious draw
back in not being able to bring along
the American tires, as these are rub
Der and contraband of war, subject to
all kinds OF restrictions and regula-
lions.
The American auto trucks are caus-
ing q revolution in Madrid along three
distinct lines: First, doing away with
the huge antique carts which labor
along the streets; second, suppIanting
the long tandem teams OF oxen and
donkeys, covered with jingling bells;
and, finally, changing Madrid from one
Of the worst paved capitals Of Europe
to one OF the best. The Spaniards look
with awe at the disappearance Of their
ancient methods before the march Of
improvement.
A complication has arisen over the
shipment OF American meat to Spain.
The Spanish ships were glad to get
this class OF freight. but the ships were
not provided with the necessary re-
frigeFating plant AS this Is essential

many Spanish ships are being over

storage equipment so as to handle this
new class Of American product. Once
equipped this way fresh Spanish fruit

American meat coming to Spain.
American hat-irons and other cleo
trical novelties are now being used
for the first time. and the Spaniards

four AT PRAYER MEETING
So Wrote Late William III.
White of Methodism's
Progress.

The death Of Dr.. J. B. Starkey on
March s., last. at Pittsburgh. Pa
who preached the first sermon deliver
ed by regularly appointed pastor of
the Methodist Episcopal church in
Fargo on Sunday, November II, 1875,
recalls several incidents in, the life of
this minister while heNwas in Fargo.
DR.. Starkey was one Of those rough
and ready persons, admirably suited
to the early day life in the west. He
was man who would fight if it was
necessary to fight, who was good
mixer. and who was about the greatest
boomer" that ever struck Fargo. He
never failed to boost for the town.
Service in a Saloon.
One Of the first services held by DR..
Starkey in Fargo was in a saloon. Be
ing unable to get place to hold his
meeting, he made arrangements to hold
the service in one of the barrooms, the
place being the only one that could
be secured. At the time J. B. Chaplin,
who ran q bar in connection with his
at the time, heard Of DR.. Starkey's ac-
ton and Immediately got busy.
At that time everything in Fargo
was wide open and there were about
as many saloons doing a thriving busi-
ness as there were other business in
situations combined. s'
Chaplin Dictates Contribution.
Seeing that the saloon in which the
services were to- be held would nee
essarily have to suspend business dur
ing the service, Mr.. Chaplin not only
resolved to close his own bar but went
around to all the saloon keepers Of the
town and told them to close also. He
also ordered them to attend the serv-
ice and to bring a dollar with them for
the collection plate.
All of the saloon owners did what
was asked by Mr.. Chaplin, attended the
service with the result that the colIec-
tion was very large one.
DR.. Starkey did not hesitate to ac-
cept the building, nor to hold his meet
ing in the saloon, although he was one
of the greatest factors in the early
days for prohibition and temperance.
In a history of Methodism in Fargo,
written by the late William H. White,
the following quotations are taken as
bearing on the work Of this Methodist
divine while in Fargo:
