Fourth of July Fete
to Be Discussed at
Open Meeting Today

How do you want to celebrate the
Fourth OF July?
That Is the question that will be
asked citizens OF Bismarck tonight
at 1870 when a public meeting will
be held In the chambers OF the AS
ISOLATION OF Commerce.
Following meeting some two
weeks ago, a special committee APP
pointed by interested business men
at that time set to work to outline
tentative plans for the proposed In
dependence day celebration. These
plans will be submitted to every
one interested in the proposition t..
night.
An elaborate program has been
outlined, but the members OF the
committee feel there are still MANY
excellent entertainment suggestions
that have not been offered so far
and that some Of the tentative sug-
gestions can be discarded for bet
ter ones il they will only be ad-
vanced.
This will be the final chance to
suggest anything that will help
give Bismarck It's biggest and best
Fourth OF July celebration in many
years." H. r. Goddard, secretary Of
the Association OF Commerce, said
today, land the committee wants
everybody to turn out for the meet
ing tonight"

Alfred +. Smith of New York and

Illinois are the choices of South Da.
kota's Democrats and Republicans,

didates of their parties.

AUTO LICENSE
DEPARTMENT IS
BADLY RUSHED
Applications Coming in ri
Rate Of 1000 to 5000 4
Day, Ingstad Says

North Dakota's motor vehicle reg
istration department is swamped
with business as it has never been
before, according to Fred B. lngstad,
registrar.
From 1000 to 5000 automobile
license requests are being received
every day while the department has
been able to turn out an average Of
1000 per day, Mr.. lng.tad said.
On Monday, the department was
forced to close its doors to local peo-
pie applying for licenses, Mr.. Ing
stad stating that it kept from three
to four clerks busy to answer the
local requests, severely hampering
the work Of the whole department.
Local applications for licenses
should be made through the local
automobile dealers, Mr.. Ingstad
said, which will permit a speedier
handling of the requests.
Approximately 10000 licenses
have already been sent out to own
crs Of passenger cars and trucks and
no respite from the rush is seen
by Mr.. Ingstad for another six
weeks.
March Is is the final closing date
for applications, after which date a
penalty is attached to all late re-
quests.
Despite the unprecedented rush,
Mr.. Ingstad stated that the depart
ment was fully two days ahead Of
last years record at this time.
Application of the new automobile
title oct has forced extra work on
the staff this year, one Of the prin-
cipal reasons why the applications
are piling up at the department. So
far this year, 10000 certificates Of
title have been issued.

federal building question, and that
aside from q noondav call at the
White House he had no engagements
for the day except his conference at
the treasury.
The planning Of government build
ings comes under the jurisdiction Of
Assistant Secretary Schuneman of
the treasury, but inasmuch as postal
and judiciary activities are housed
in the New York federal building,
representatives of the postoffice and
department of justice were invited
to have hand in today's discussion.
For some time the government
has been working on a program to
move the courts out of the structure,
but Mayor Walker wants the postal
substation also transferred, so the
building can be torn down in line
with civic center identifying
scheme. He had a proposal to offer
to that end.

BY DONALD 4. CRAIG.

June i3, 1S64.-Wounded men from
the battles before Richmond continue
TO arrive in this city in large numbers.
The steamer Thomas A. Morgan, with
555 slightly wounded men, came to the
wharf this morning at 10 o'clock. About
so Stragglers were taken from this boat
and sent 10 Provost Marshal Ingaham
TO be disposed Of.
The mail steamer Lizzie Baker, which
left the White House. Va, yesterday
afternoon, got in at noon today, bring
ing up the Army mail and the I'd
Wisconsin Regiment, numbering about
ESQ men, whose terms Of service have
expired. The Baker also brought up
the bodies Of Lieut. Col Thomas
Burpee. 2lst Connecticut Cavalry, and
Capt. Joseph Bachus, 1st Connecticut
Cavalry, who were killed in the late
battles before Richmond.
Another vessel to arrive within the
last "a hours is the steamer John
Brooks, with about $50 wounded, nearly
all Of whom are serious cases. Seven
men died on this vessel on the way up
the bay and river. Lieut. Col. C.. H
Corning, l4th New York Artillery
fwoundedD. and Lieut.. Col. w. c. Banta,
7th Indiana (sick), came on the
Brooks. This load Of wounded required
the constant attention Of surgeons and
nurses during the trip.
This morning, Lieut.. Knox, with a
guard, left the Marine Barracks with
John Davis and John Green, two
bounty jumpers. recently convicted by a
court-martial and sentenced to be inn
prisoned for 10 years IN the Connecti-
cut Pcnitentiary. These men drew the
bounty from the agent OF the State OF
New Jersey and jumped, coming 10 this

three weeks ago. They had both been
previously in the Confederate Army.

Collecting Mania.

Collectors as a class form gentle
and agreeable variety Of human beings,
departing amiably, II at all. from sanity.
It's only occasionally that collecting
amounts to a mania that somewhat
fststasrDg the rule Of good Sense-which
liz the standard test Of mental fitness
or shades over into costly pastine.
The best known Of these nanias Is the
tuliponaania that swept over Holland in
the seventeenth century. when every
body who could afford 1t and many who
couldn't went In for growing rare tulips
with fancy colorings and grandiose
names. It is related that one tulipo-
maniac exchanged his farm with all its
stock for one rare tulip, and that an
other found one Of his farm hands eat
ing bulb under the impression that it
was an onion, which mistake cost the
owner 500 and more.
As usual with inflated value, the
crash came, the fad died out. and tulip
growing settled down TO q standard
Dutch industry.
The collecting passion varies with age
and with the ages. The most common
