departed this life two months ago

For want of rain and wondered

Could not restore the bloom again.
You're like the rose. I'm like the ram
I have wanted ycu and called IN
vain.

EIGHTEEN INDIC TED
Grand Jury in Circuit Court Fo!
Alexandria County Today Returned
True Bills for Violations of Prohibit
tion Law-Forty Cases This Term

A special grand jury in the cir:
circuit court for Alexandria county to;
day returned true bills in the cases
of eighteen persons charged with vi;
olating the provisions of the state
prohibition law by bringing moro
LIQUOR into the state than is allowed
by law.
Afterward fourteen of those in
dicted entered pleas of guilty and in,
some instances some were sentenced
to pay a fine Of $50, and serve thirty:
days in Jail. Others were fined $50,
Since this term oof court total of
forty cases have been presented to;
the grand jury on the same charge:
Most of these cases, however, have;
been disposed of.
All of thei parties arrested were;
taken in custody by the state pro-;
hibition inspectors. Some were taken
from automobiles and others from
trains, both steam and electric.
The steadily increasing cost of Ii
quor and its scarcity coupled with
the fact that close watch it still be-
ing maintained by prohibition inspec-
tors against bcotleggers has resulted
in reduction in the traffic according
to inspectors. However, the inspec-
tors are still actively engaged in
the work of running down bootleggers
and the work will be. continued unit
nation wide prohibition becomes ef-
fective July 1st.

WILSON NOW IN LONDON FAREWELL DINNER
American President Receives Royal
Welcome in British Capital-Two

/
Welcome in British Capital-Twc
MILAN People Fill the Streets.
London, Dec. 27.-No king has ever
received such a magnificent ovation of
welcome as greeted President Will
son yesterday from the British, whose
shouts, rolling from Charing Cross to
Buckingham Palace, made one mighty
crescendo amid scenes of unprece-
dented enthusiasm.
Il hereby welcome you to England"
said the king to the President.
81 greatly appreciate it, assure
you," replied Wilson.
While the band switched to the
"Stars and Stripes Forever" the Pres
dent and the king reviewed the kings
guard in the train shed The troops
stood stiffiy ut attention. The king
and President Wilson engaged in a
lively conversation as they walked but
the martial music drowned out their
voices.
Two million Londoners jammed the
streets in the area between the sta
ton and the palace. The roofs were
black with spectators and there was
not a telegraph pole nor tree that
was not occupied by daring youths
trying to catch q glimpse of the dis
rineuishcd guests.
AS soon as Mr.. Wilson appeared
outside the Charring Cross station
the waiting multitude burst into un-
ending cheers, while the guns in the
Tower Of London bombed royal sa-
lute, church bells tolled, bands played
and airplanes whirled overhead
King George heartily shook hands
with President and Mrs. Wilson. A
few minutes afterward Mr.. Wilson,
all smiles, grasped Premier Lloyd
Georges hard and both shook the
others vigorously.
An impressive incident during the
procession to the palace occurred
when, as the carriages were near
ing Marlborough House there was a
sudden shuffling in the sidewalk
crowd. Elbowing their way to the
curb came the Queen Dowager Alex
andra, the Queen of Norway, Prince
Olaf, and Princess Victoria. The
crowd. recognizing them, fell lack.
The President leaned forward and
waved gracious greeting to the
yroup in response to futtering hand
kerchiefs. The king also saluted'
while the queen dowager and the
princess nodded heartily toward MIS-.
wilson.
At one time during the memorable
pa, ade tn, President came near beng
buried alive by some of his own coun-
trvmen. It was when the carriages
passed the Berkeley Hotel, where the
American military and naval missions
hid organized a tremendous demon
Each window of the bal
cony was packed with baskets OF lau-
rel. AS the Presidents carriage pass
ed a veritahle avalanche showed upon
him. while women threw handtuiS OF
flowers. This was repeated wnen inc
Presidents wife and the queen passed
by Admiral Sims, Gen. Biddle' "1n-
ston Spencer Churchill and many
American women were in the balcony
The engine of the train that pore
the President from Dover to Charlng
Cross had tiny American flag at us
masthead. The train rolled into the
station on the dot of the scheduled
!!:me-2:30 pm.

Still Kicking

Sheriff Chas. Mclaughlin who
has been the victim Of a severe at.
tack Of influenza which has kept
him home the past two weeks
showed up again at the court house
the first Of the week and Is now on
the job for keeps. Charles says the
report he was dead was grossly ex.
aggerated. and from what the writ
er knows about the genial sheriff
of Sioux county, it takes more than
one Of these new-fangled diseases
with q foreign name to knock him
out. He is q typical product Of the
frontier and will in all probability
die with his boots on. No linger-
ing away in a soft bed with doctors,
nurses and attendants for this old
timer.

The influenza epidemic continues
undated. and there are a large
number Of cases throughout the
county. Many deaths have been
reported the past week and a mum.
Der Of other deaths are expected.
+. In Fort Yates there have been
several deaths during the week, and
the hospital is full. Dr.. Shoema-
ker has had remarkable success,
however, and considering the num-
Der Of cases that have been brought
here for treatment the mortality has
not been as large as in other pla-
ces. ' st
At the Farm school there are six.
teen cases, and some deaths have
been reported. At Porcupine the
Indian day school has been convert
ed into temporary hospital with
Mrs. Schoenhut in charge.
DR. Shoemaker the first of the
week telegraphed DR.. Rosenow Of
the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Min
nesota, for a quantity Of vaccine
for the prevention Of the influenza,
and expects to receive q shipment
this week. In the meantime DR..
Shoemaker advises everyone to wear
a mouth and nose mask in all pub
lie places. :.S
The masks are of 3slk thicknesses
Of gauze or cheessscloth about four
by six inches, and should cover the
nose and mouth. Tie masks should
be renewed as they become soiled.
This is the best prevention against
the disease
The following Deaths have been
reported during the week.
CARLD. FLETCHER
Carl D. Fletcher, principal of
the Wahpeton Indian school, died
at Wshpeton a week ago Monday
from influenza, and. his remains
were brought to Shields where in
terment was made last Thuraday.

Vote For Stile,

It is reported the the sSe]fridge

to elect the county commissioner
from the second district, and that
j. H. McCay Of Selfridge and Fort
Rice is a candidate against j. A.
Stiles, who has the nomination and
whose name is printed on the bal
lot. McCay is making q sticker
campaign. He lives in Morton
county most Of the time and has no
chance to be elected. Throw his
stickers away and vote for Stiles,
who has made good and is the best
man for the place. This kind Of
dirty, underhanded politics is a fair
sample Of the way the Selfridge
boosters are playing the anne.

Another feature this Selfridge
supporter fails to state is that Self
ridge has no hotel and no eating
house. No place fit for a court.
house until such time as suitable
building can be built.
Also that there ia q War Indus

unnecessary public buildings for
the duration Of the war.
Is this man unpatriotic?
He would set the need Of a pub
lie building at Selfridge over the
needs Of the nation whose sons are
dying on the battlefield that men
of his ilk can stay home and play
politics.
