MRS. CONNOLLY
DIES SUNDAY

Mrs. Elizabeth Connolly, one of the
pioneers Of Devils Lake, passed away
at her home in this city last Sunday
morning following long illness. The
deceased had lived in the community
for SO long, and was we'll known and
universally respected, that she will be
greatly missed by her scores of
friends here. She was born at Bel
fast, Ireland, on Nov. %, 1s47, and
when 13 years old came to Canada
with her father and two brothers and
settled down in Ontario. On July 18,
1876, she was united in the holy bonds
of matrimony to Thomas Connolly,
the ceremony taking place at South
ampton, Ontario. Later the family
moved to Iowa and then to Minnesota,
and in the year 1891 located in Devils
Lake, where deceased has since made
her home. Her husband passed into
the great beyond on August "a, 1917.
Deceased was Of a lovable DISPOSE
tion, and during all of her married life
and up to the time of her death her
family was always her first considera-
tion. In her younger days she was
willing to deny herself everything in
order that her boys and her girls
might be given the same or a better
chance in the world as other boys and
girls after they arrived at manhood
and womanhood. Nothing pleased
her more during the last few years
than to see her children loved and
respected by everyone, and she was
proud of every one Of them. She liv-
ed long and useful life, and she will
be greatly missed by her many
friends in the city and surrounding
country.
She leave to mourn her death one
brother, Joseph White of Spokane,
WASH, two sons, Joseph Connolly of
Edmore, N. D., and w. H. Connolly
of this city, and three daughters, Mrs.
il. o. Plante, of South Bend, Ind;
Mrs. J. E. Garvey of Cavalier, N. D.;
and Miss Margaret Connolly of this
city.
The funeral is being held this af-
ternoon from the Methodist church in
this city, the Rev. Benjamin Babcock
officiating. It was largely attended by
people from both the city and coun-
try, and the floral offerings were many
and beautiful. The pail bearers were
Ole Sheldon, A. E. Parshal, Mike
Noonan, L. Haslam, Herman STEM
seth, and R. w. Dickson. The re.
mains were inferred at the G. A. R
lcemetery.

Compensation
Bureau Finally
Pays Mrs. Mattson

Attorney w. M. Anderson, at
torney for Mrs. Karen Mattson's
claim against the Workmen's
Compensation Bureau for the
death Of her husband which took
place in August 1920 following
injuries he received at the R. E.
Cobb plant in this city. Mrs.
Mattson put in a claim for her
husbands death Immediately after
he passed away, but this was turn
ed down by the bureau. Thorough
her attorney, W. M. Anderson, she
then brought suit and the case
was tried here last January be-
fore Judge Buttz at which time
Judge Nuchols and attorney Phil
Elliott Of Bismarck appeared for
the Bureau. A verdict for the full
amount asked for was at that
time given Mrs. Mattson, but the
bureau put up various excuses and
delayed payment Of the claim as
long as possible. Her many friends
will now be glad to learn that the
money was finally turned over to
her.

Seed Loans To
Be Handled
At Grand Forks

In anticipation of the signing of
the seed grain appropriation bill by
President Harding, Secretary of Agri-
culture, Wallace has selected Grand
Forks as the headquarters for the
government force which will handle
the loans for North Dakota and Mon
iana. The bill, which was passed by
congress on Friday, carries an appro-
priation of $1,5OO,O0O to be loaned out
to the farmers of the two states.
Last year Secretary Wallace had his
force headed for North Dakota six
days after the president had signed
the bill but this year he will have it
on the way the day the president
signs, which will probably be Monday.
While by far the greater portion of
the money which will be loaned in
North Dakota will go to the Third
Congressional district, the bill re-
ceived the hearty support of Congress
man o. B. Burtness and also Geo.
M. Young.

Band CONCERT
BY BOY SCOUTS
ON SUNDAY P. NJ.

The Devils Lake Boy Scout Band
gave its fourth concert of the series Of
six concerts to be given this season
at tie Opera House Sunday afternoon
at 800 .''clovh.,.
Long before that hour the Opera
House was jammed to the doors and
not less than $50 people were turned
away, as there was not even stand
ing room left. The program was an
unqualified success and the audience
seemed to enjoy every minute.
From concert to concert given by
the Band in technic and execution,
there is a marked improvement. The
new features at this concert were
the appearance Of Miss Marie Locke
as a soloist aai;;:: 2 reading by Miss
Ruth Middaugh. Both the young ladies
were recalled and were given ver-
atible ovation. Especially impressive
was the last solo given by Miss Locke,
"Leave Me With A Smile" Under Mr..
Weimar's skillful and artistic direc-
tion the Band accompaniment had the
effect of large and skillfully played
pipe organ.
What impressed the hearer was that
the Band as whole and as individ-
uals as we'll as the soloists did their
part not only with mechanical skill,
But with understanding, and the effect
was most delightful and impressive.
Eugene Serumgard's saxophone solo
was also well received and he was
also recalled. When the program was
over the audience seemed reluctant to
leave the hall, as the program seemed
too short, altho there were twelve
numbers.
The next concert will be given Fri
day, April 21st, and we predict that
the Opera House will again he filled

new EAT SHOP
OPENS TODAY

The Great Northern Eat Shop
located in the Great Northern hotel
building was opened up to the public
today, and starts out with large
patronage right from the start. The
place is in charge of G. D. Kutselas,
who leased the dining room from pro-
prietor Maher, and who will in the
future conduct it independent from
the hotel. Mr.. Kutselas also pur-
chased the entire dining room equip
ment some weeks ago, and since that
time has had workmen busy putting
the place in neatest and most at
tractive condition possible. In addi-
tion to the old equipment he has in
stalled much new and more modern
fixtures, including a 40 foot Vitolite
glass counter. He is using nothing
except experienced help, and will do
his best to make the shop the most
popular in the state.
Mr.. Kutselas came here from Minot,
where for two years he owned and con-
Quoted the Club Cafe, which was one
of the most popular eating places in
the Magic City. He has had about
20 years experience in some Of the
larger cities of the country where he
made a speciality of eating to par
ticular people, the-e is no question
but that the eating public will find
him fully competent and willing to
administer to their wants in every way
when it comes to serving "eats."

clerks to minimum all goods will be
put in places where they can be reach

DISTRICT COURT TO DECIDE
WHETHER five OR ten PER CENT
THE LEGAL DEBT Limit

An order has been issued by Judge
c. w. Buttz of the district court of
Ramsey county, citing the school
board of the Edmore school district
and holders of certain warrants issued
by this board, and also the contractors
who received such warrants in pay
ment of construction work on new
school house at Edmore, to appear be-
fore this court on the afternoon of
March 9th and show cause why these
warrants should not be cancelled for
the reason that they were illegally is
sued, and restraining order issued to
prohibit the school board from paying
them.
The Edmore school district had a
partially constructed school building,
and in February, 1921, held special
election for the purpose Of voting on
increasing the bonded Indebtedness Of
the district in order to complete the
building. The election carried and the
board went ahead and finished the
work, paying the contractors in war
rants which were in excess of the
five per cent debt limit. Over $780,
600 worth Of warrants were issued un-
der the supposition that the board had
a right under the law to increase it's
debt up to ten per cent of their ass
essed valuation.
When the board attempted to mar
ket their bonds with the Board Of
University and School Lands they
were refused Oh the grounds that they
were above the five per cent debt linz
it, and that left the holders of the
warrants holding the sack temporar-
lily at least.
Lewis Viger and 13 other taxpayers
of the Edmore school district are now
asking that these warrants be can
celled on the ground that they were IL
legally issued, and it will be up to the
courts to decide whether or not the
board acted within it's rights.
Flynn, Traynor & Traynor of this
city are attorneys for the taxpayers,
and the outcome of the case promises
to be very interesting as there are
many other school districts in the
state that are up against, the same
kind Of proposition as is the Ed
more board.
