|tev* C. H. Dickinson Lectures Upon Atner
.. km Cities, Particularly Fargo.
ftev. C. H. Dickinson of the First
Congregational Church chose for his
subject Sunday evening, "American
Cities, Particularly Fargo." Mr. Dick
inson discusscd this most vital subject
in a broad way, but did not fail to di
rect attention to many important points
in connection with city life, to which
particular interest attached. After al
luding to the general criticism of
American municipal government and
the character of the powers that con
trol politics in the majority of the cit
ies of this country the speaker laid
down the proposition that in the cities,
without exception the great majority
of the men are good and true. In bis
opinion the great evil of the cities is
city politics. The city is the con
spicuous failure of our democratic in
stitutions and at the same time the city
must be the test of democratic insti
tutions. If the American people fail
to bring about good government in
the cities democratic government is
sure to be a failure. The speaker re
verted to the excuse for deplorable

conditions so often given by those who
are not actively engaged in city poli
tics, that the "foreign element" is prin
cipally to blame for the bad govern
ment^ which is so common.
A well known citizen of New Yorlft
commenting upon the results of the re
cent election in that city by which Tam-«
many was returned to power, stated
that the victory was commonly attrib
uted to the heavy vote in the foreign
districts, which were so susceptible to
bribery, but the fact was that the vic
tory of Tammany was due more direct
ly to the fact that in the districts where
the better elements are supoosed to re
side the voters in large numbers failed
to register their votes, so that it was
indifference on the part of the better
elements that contributed largely to the
victory of the'-forces opposed to re
form. 1
Mr. Dickinson was inclined to the
opinion that it was difficult to deter
mine which was worse, the vice in the
slums or the indifference in the ave
nues.
The speaker dilated at length upon
the good points in city life as well as
the deplorable conditions. He was of
the opinion that the conditions were
not hopeless. The principal disadvan
tage at present was the lack of defi
nite interest on the part of the better
elements. This was one of the deplor-

aible conditions in Fargo and most oth
er western cities. There is a tendency
to carelessness, of letting things run
themselves, a lack of due vigilance.
The people are true at heart but do
not appreciate the importance of be
ing actively concerned in getting rid
of undesirable conditions, in fact the
majority of the leading business men
seem to be ignorant of existing unde
sirable conditions. They are so en
grossed with their own affairs that they
fail to consider the possibility df evil
being so aggressive. A special jianger
to the city of Fargo in the opinion of
the speaker was the spirit of gambling,
which is so evident on every hand, and
which, if not checked, is bound, sooner
or later, to work injury to the city in
more ways than one.
Mr. Dickinson believed that in con
nection with gambling there was a
probability of its insidious influence
becoming so powerful and corrupting
as to find its way in to the life of
the city government itself, or at least
those closely connected therewith.
Believing that politics, the boss and
the ring, are the most powerful factors
in city government the only successful
way in which to combat the corrupt,
influences saidthe speaker was for the
better element to fight the "machine"
with their own methods, that a "boss"
of unimpeachable character should be
chosen by the better elements and a
"political ring," composed of the ele
ments believing in good government,
should be formed. In such a struggle,
in which all the forces of good are
united by ties as strong as unite the
forces of the corrupt political rings,
lies the hope of good government.
better elements must have a leader of
political foresight, of courage, who will
adopt the methods which make the cor
rupt machine a winner.
The lecture was listened to with a
good deal of interest. Next Sunday
evening Mr. Dickinson will speak on
"American Homes, Particularly Fargo
Homes."
FORMER OAKES RESIDENT
Oakes Republican: Capt. Warren
H. Wasson dropped dead last Sunday
while attending church at Scranton,
Pa. His home was at Harrisburg, but
he had been on a traveling tuor and
had stopped over in Scranton for the
day. Captain Wasson was a resident
of Oakes in '90 and '91, and was a son
in-law of Major and Mrs. Baldwin of
this city. He was about 60 years of
age. Mrs. Baldwin' and Mrs. Good
rich started Monday for Harrisburg to
attend the funeral. 1'? i
BRUTALLY BEATEN.
Minot Reporter: Late last Saturday
night and long after the ordinary indi
vidual had retired for the night, a
greatly excited farmer, living about
twelve miles north of this city, arrived
here and demanded from an authorized
officer "a warrant for the arrest of Geo.
Sl[at, vvjiom li£ accused of brutally
brating and probably-fatally*
ulias. Padellford. a homesteader in that
section of Ward County.
On that particular day the two inen
a jove named met and had some harsh
wdrds about a piece of land, and Sloat
isi charged with jumping onto the plain
tiff during the altercation and beating
hjlm.into insensibility and leaving him
it^ a badly mutilated condition.
1A warrant was sworn out by Padell
ford's friends for the arrest of Sldat be
fore Judge Murray.
THEY WERE HELD UP.
jMinot Reporter: Albert Nilson and
Otto Jenson, two farmers who live
near the high bridge several miles west
oif here, had a rather unpleasant experi
ence ls thy were returning hime from
this city about nine o'clock last Satur
day night. The two men had reached
the farm entrance of C. A. Johnson
when they were suddenly confronted
by a lone hold up artist who command
ed them to stop and at the same time
fijred a shot at them.
The horse driven by the two farm
ers became frightened at the sho&ting
and in making a short turn upset the
buggy and dumped its occupants on the
liard ground. In the mixup the men
lpst their hats and were shortly after
wards met by Erick Hustad who was
returning home frotn his milk route.
The nold up desperado in the mean
time made his escape without getting
any booty and outside of a bad scare
both escaped unhurt. Their horse was
overtaken shortly after and returned to
is owners.

Mandan Pioneer: Considerable com

over the strange actions of the Misses
Lillie and Cora Marcy. So many con

in regard to their recent actions that
it is difficult to verify any of them, but
some of the neighbors became alarmed
Wednesday morning and summoned
Chief of Police Hill who investigated
some of the rumors and called at their
residence where he found the doors se
curely locked and no one within. Upon
examination it was found that a win
dow in the rear of the house was brok
en and an axe was laying beside it,
which looked somewhat suspicious and
he gained entrance to the interior of
the rooms to investigate further. Noth

Judge Amidon's decision in the case

The suit involved the title to 16,000 acres

awards all the lands to Mr. Robbins.
Mr. Sykcs claimed the contract to con

otherwise and the lands novvigo to Rob
