BURSTED WATER PIPE
MAKES MESS AT SCHOOL

A water pipe, known at the fire
plug, cut loose Wednesday afternoon
with a stream of water that had the
pressure of the city mains behind
it and bid fair for a time to COM
pletely flood the high school build
ing.
The break, which was undoubtedly
caused by freezing, occurred on the
third floor near the entrance to the
domestic science room and was a
tough proposition to deal with until
the proper place to shut off the water
was found. The fire hose was at
tached and carried down the three
fights of stairs and out of doors,
and had the effect of carrying off
some of the water. Male members
of the faculty, the janitor and a
equad of high school boys tackled
the job of staying the flood and got
thorough drenching before mem
bers of the city water department
arrived to cut off the unruly stream.
The Railways and stairs of the east
central portion of the building were
flooded and large amount of dam
age was done to the plaster of the
ceilings.

INDIAN DELEGATES
GO TO WASHINGTON

almost be termed annual, the ASSN
niboines of this part of the reserva-
ton have sent delegate, Meade
Steel, to the national capital to con-
fer with the heads of the Indian de-
partment and the Montana members
of congress on matters concerning
the welfare of the tribe. Yesterday
some Of the active Indians were cir
culating subscription list among
members of the tribe to raise money
to defray expenses. If enough money
could be secured it was the intention
to have James Garfield join Steele

Anti Japanese Bill

per body.
Anti-Japanese Bill
Siegfriedt's bill No. 43, excluding
japanese from owning land in Mon
tana, was adopted by the senate on
Friday morning. The judiciary COM
mittee with majority report recon-
mended that the bill do not pass, but
the minority report, championed by
Siegfriedt and Kirton, on a recall
prevailed by "a to 18 vote. The
bill had the backing of the Legion
members and all those in sympathy
with the ex-service men, while it is
claimed that strong forces in the
lobby of extensive land holders op-
posed the measure. 1t is rumored
that the bill will find rougher going
when it comes to the committee of
the whole.
New Highway Commission Favored
If the vote taken on Senator Peter
sons bill creating a new highway
commission for the present commits
sion is any indication of the feeling
of the lawmakers now in session, the
bill will find strong support in the
house when it is transmitted to that
body for it's concurrence. 1t is ar
gued by those in favor of the new
law that there are only
about 20 counties that are now re-
ceiving any work from the present
commission and that the respective
of the gasoline tax fund
should revert to the various counties
to be used by those counties at their
will and discretion. Both republi-
cans and democrats alike contend
that the extravaganza can no longer
be endured. President Story of the
senate called Senator Porter to the
chair and addressed the senators re-
yarding the bill in it's present form,
that the bill as now drawn
would not meet the requirements of
the secretary Of agriculture and that
the state would lose under this bill
all federal aid in the construction of
roads. A roll call showed that Mr..
Peterson's bill met with the approval

CHARACTER TELLS
THE STORY!

People throughout this country arc
giving more thought to hygiene and to
the purity of remedies on the market,
but no one doubts the purity of Doctor
Pierce's vegetable medicines, for they
have been SO favorably known for over
fifty years that everyone knows they are
just what they are claimed to be. These
medicines are the result of long research
by a well-known physician, F. V. Pierce,
NJ. D., who compounded them from
health-giving herbs and roots long used
in sickness by the Indians. DR.. Pierce's
reputation as leading and honored
citizen of Buffalo, is sufficient guaran-
tee for the purity of that splendid tonic
and blood purifier, the Golden Medical
Discovery, and the equally fine nerve
tonic and system builder for women's
ailments, DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion. Send l0c. for trial pkg. tablets to

PARK DEER PURCHASED

Six deer for the Glen Park zoo
have been purchased from farmer
owner in Bayfield, county, and they
will be shipped here as soon as their
portion of the park is fenced off. A
yard is to be provided on the river

years. If it is found that six deer
are too many to place here perman-
emily, it may be decided to sell some
of. them, and the Rod & Gun Club has
already received offers. The Club
has completed all the necessary arr
engagements with the Fish and Game
Commission for the purchase of the
deer, and also have the privilege of
making sales if it is decided to do So.

WILL OPEN WINE
AT 1924 MEETING

Saltwater, Minn.-If there's one of
the Last Mans club left next year,
he'll drink toast of treasured wine
to the SO others who have gone on.
Three gray old soldiers sat down to
banquet at noon Saturday-at the
hour and minute when 81 years ago
began the battle of Bull Run.
Every year since 1885, surviving
members of the Last Mans club have
sat down to the banquet table at the
Sawyer house to talk over old times
and renew friendships hallowed by
heroism. There were "a members
when the first banquet was held.
There were IA present iii 1901, eight
in 191; and only four last year
Saturday there were three-and
there were 20 black drapc1 chairs
ranged about the long table-vacant
chairs. Another place, undraped, was
set for Emil Graft, ST. Cloud, Fla, an
invalid who was unable to come.
Peter Hall, "a, of Atwater, Mimi;
Charles Lockwood, so, of Chamber
lain, S. D., and John Golf, 80, of the
Minnesota Soldiers home, were pres
ent Saturday.
In 1886, Louis Hospes gave the club
a quart of rare wine in cherry wood
case, and it has graced the center of
the table eacch year since. 1t is kept
locked in vault of the First Ma
tional bank the year round. The
last survivor of the club was to drink
the wine as toast to the departed.
Peter Hall, tall and straight as the
day Co. B. First Minnesota infantry,
marched by the little white church at
Bull Run, rose to his feet and pro-
posed that the seal on the bottle of
wine be broken next year.
"We're not going to last much
longer and if we don't do something
soon, We'll all pass on" he said sim
ply.
Dimmed eyes turned to look at the
black hooded chairs, ranged along the
table, and six eyes dampened with
tears as the three "last men" voted
to break the seal next year.
So the toast will be drunk at noon
on July 81, 1924, to the departed
members of the Last Mans club-if
there are any members left. Then
the rare old vintage will go to the
state historical society collections and
the history of this band will be writ
ten on the records with it.
