boro was visited by a disastrous fire at
4:15 Sunday morning which consumed
five buildings, The origin of the fire
is a mystery. It was first noticed in the
rear of Chas. Greve's building occupied
by Hooker's barber shop, and rapidly
spread to the adjoining frame buildings,
and it wa§ only by heroic work on the
part of the fire department that kept
it from sweeping the entire block. The
hotel Martin which adjoined these build
ings on the south was only .saved by
having asbestos lined walls. The losses
are divided as fQllows:
Ole Spoklee, estate, building, $1,500.

Madison Square Garden below is filled
with hundreds ot thousands of dollars'
worth of horses and above is draped
with bunting in orange and black. Be

urday night the great arena will be a
placc of enthusiasm and expediency.
For the time being the automobile
is a thing of secondary consideration.
This is the time to be a horse, and the^
horses seem to know it. With heads
high and nostrils distended, straight
limbed, and with pride in every curve
of their handsome bodied, they dash
in and out at the bugle's call.
The day is for horse lovers and thfe
night is society's. At all times now
the garden will be a place of prancing
horses, of beautiful women, of enthusi
astic men, of fine feathers and blankets,
of straw and grooms, of numbers,
tps, tanbank and hurdles, harness
and saddles, to say nothing of boxes
and the promenade crowded with fash

In nearly every respect thp present

the classes there is a "notable increase
in the-nufnber of entries and also in
the number of horses showing pedi

winners. The hackey classes have fal

Playmate, champion of last year, is on

There are some good ones among
the harness horses classes, and. al
though* the number is not so great as
last year, their quality is quite as high,
if not higher. The medium weight
horses also are" a fine lot. Flower of
Lynnewood being ineligible, the sec

other good ones to compete with him,
among them being Mrs. E. R. Ladew's
Buster Brown, Reginald Vanderbilt's

Ogden's Charmion.
In horses and appointments the com
petition is sure to be keen, as the rib

of the exhibition. The entries here are
greater than last year, and some good
ones are among the competitors
There is a decided increase also in the
number of tandems. Ponies are out

horses is also larger than ever before
Hunters and jumpers are as well rep
resented as ever, and some of the
classes are altogether too well filled, as
the process of sejection will have to be

today a strenuous crusade is to be
undertaken to- protect the birds of
North America. Working in conjunc

purposes to make organized efforts to
have stricter game laws passed in the
various states and to see that tjiese
laws are rigidly enforced. The co-op

it is also proposed to interest school
teachers throughout the country in the
movement. The union cites the fig

POLL TAX COLLECTIONS.
Bismarck Tribune: John Wagir was
jsummoned before Justice .Fort today
for non-payment of poll tax after no
tification. and judgment was rendered
against him for the tax artd costs. Un
der section 1,100 of the Revised Codes,
a penalty of $1 a day can be added for
every day after notification that such
a tax remains unpaid. This penalty
was not added in the case today, for
the reason that this provision of the
law was unknown to the majority of
people. City Attorney Allen will ob
tain a list of personsr whose poll tax
remains unpaid, and hereafter when no
tifications are made the penalty of $r
a day will be added. .An effort will tyc
made to clean up the unpaid poll taxes
bv this medns.
IMPORTANT WITNESS.
Grand Forks Herald: William liar

of Alfred Nally. While this possibility
has been discussed somewhat in official
circles, there has in reality been nothing
on which to build such a story. Mr.
Sorley, who will conduct the defense of
the colored man, is engaged in securing
a number of witnesses from the former
homq of Martell, and it is presumed
that*'an effort Vvill be' made at the

Martell having claimed to Sheriff Turn

Sortie Interesting Facts Concerning
the N. D. National Guard and
Its Equipment.
tHe Military Officials Arc Doing
Many Things to Improve Pres*
eitt Conditions.
Sismarck, N. D., Nov. 15.—To The
Forum It may interest your militia
readers to know some of the topics
being discussed at militia headquarters,
and having a spare moment, will try
to enlighten the boys.
There has been a widespread im
pression among the militiamen since
the pasasge of the Dick bill that they
were to receive pay from the govern
ment aiid a lot of luscious things like
that. While no provision was made
for regular pay for the national guard,
the authorities at Washington appre
ciate the stimulus of a bit of pay,and
the adjutant general's department has
strongly recommended to the secre
tary' of war that militiamen be paid a
sum not to exceed 48 cents for each
three-hour drill attended this money
to be paid out- of the
$2,coo,coo
for the
support of the national guard. It is
said the secretary looks with favor up
on the plan, believing it would cause
a maximum attendance at drill. Im
agine a militiaman drawing the mag
nificent sum of
$3.92
a month from
Uncle Saqi!r The prospect is entranc
ing!
There aire, a good many regulations
which corhpaiiy commanders find al
most impossible to enforce under pres
ent conditions, but with a system of
fines and a hold-out proposition
011
pay
to make good the fines, it would be a
good thing for discipline—and the
company treasury.
The World's Fair managers at St.
Louis are moving heaven and earth to
induce the government to hold a ser
ies oi army maneuvers at St. Louis
next year, at which regulars and the
entire national guard of the country
would be present at one time or an
other through the fall, the idea being
that these maneuvers would take the
place of those annually held at West
Point. Ky., and Fort Riley, Kas. Here
is a proposition that ought to appeal
to the militia in great shape, but it is
doubtful of fruition owing to the lack
of elbow room in which to execute the
movements desired.
Almost the entire militia of the
United States will be in shape to take
the field with the regulars next year
and the problem of how to handle such
a large body of men in two or three
camps is now being worked out in the
war department. Vlie department com
manders suggest department maneu
vers to include the militia in the de
partment. If this plan should be adopt
ed' the Minnesota. North and South
Dakota, Montana and Wyoming mili
tia would be sent to Fort Keogh.
Mont., for work with the regulars, in
which case there would be
110
camp at
Devils Lake next year. Should the
North Dakota boys go to Keogh the
officers and men would be paid by the
government, the same as regulars, and
in addition to this the enlisted men
would receive pay from the state,
making the total pay for a private
about $1.18 per day non-coms propor
tionately higher. As regular army of
ficers' pay is twice that of state pay of
officers on duty, the boys with straps
will not be known by the state pay
master.
Now that each militia company is to
receive $40p a year for armory rent, it
has been suggested that it would be
a good thing all around if the payments
were made quarterly instead of an
nually, as heretofore. Under the old
scheme most of the companies have
been on their "uppers" nine months
out of the twelve, and a whole raft of
people are anxious for the "ghost" to
walk oftener as the companies—be
sides, having so much money on hand
—all at once—is conducive to heart
failure. Colonel Allen endprses the
idea, though it would make more work
for him.
The National Guard Association will
meet in Fargo early in January, when
a number of important matters will be
taken up for discussion.
Some time early in the winter Uncle
Sam will again inspect the stati soldiery.
The war department, in a letter to
General Miller, kind of apologizes for
the easy deal it gave the boys last
spring and promises it won't happen
again! and rather intimates a desire
to probe into the knowledge the officers
and non-coms have of their business.
It's in order to clean house and brush
up a bit all around.
Thank the Lord—or the army staff—
the blue hat cords, stripes and chevrons
for enlisted men and blue-stripes for
officers are to be replaced by the white.
The blue field in the shoulder straps
will remain. The blue never was popu
lar in the army and a persistent kick has
brought back the white, which is much
more showy, and easier to keep clean.
Some day, some day, the Lisbon bat
tery will rejoice in two bran new mod
ern breechloading rifles. These trink
lets cost $2,000 each and can be handled
without the necessity of each man carry
ing heavy life insurance. The gun fac
tories are behind in their orders and
it may be spring before the guns ar
rive. but like the Fourth of July, they're
coming. Meanwhile the battery boys

THOUGHT ALL MEN HONEST,
Told the Officers That He Had Traveled
Some and Was "Hard to Pool."
Diogenes searched ancient Grcecd
with a lantern looking for an honest
man. J. J. Shankler, late of Yankton,
S. D., presumed all men honest without
examination or search.
Shankler came to Fargo yesterday
morning. In the N. P. depot he met a
well dressed person, who advised him
that he had best leave his money in
charge of some one that he might lose
it if he attempted to keep it. Shank
ler agreed, and approaching another per
son in the station, who was also well
dressed, he left his pocketbook contain
ing, he says, $roo. When he returned
this morning the man with whom he had
left the money was in the depot, as per
previous arrangement, but part of the
money was gone. He received in return
$80.
His new-found friend had lost
the other
$20,
and told Shankler that
he had been robbed, and that he felt
like paying the
$20
out of his own pock­
et because the money had been entrusted
to him, and had not been well taken
care of.
Shankler was astonished that hi* con-,
fidence had been abused. 'CJn the fertile
banks of the "Mizzou,"' vnhere he had
lived for the past twenty y\rs, he had
been used to honest men. He thought
that they would be honest in Fargo.
He was returning to his native state—«
South Dakota, and to his native Yank*
ton. He averred that he had been edu-«
cated in the public schools of Yankton,
had made several visits to Sioux Falls
before coming to Fargo, and that ho
was "hard to fool."
He poured his complaint into the ears
of Chief Gowland, who assured hint
that the only line of conduct for him
to pursue while in Fargo was to treat
ail men as thieves till he was sure thev
were otherwise. "There are no strictly
honest men on earth, and few in heav-«
en" said the chief.
That Shankler got $80 after his trusN
ing simplicity is a matter of great sur
prise in .police circles. Such incidents
very seldom end that way. The person
who gets the innocent, countrymen's roll
is generally seen no more, and for this
reason the police at first seriously ques
tioned the truthfulness of Shankler'a
story.
pattern carbines-rrl^rags—that.will
soon
be sent them.
The adjutant general has.just received
a sample gun rack that is a long felt
want in the various armories. It is cir
cular and holds twenty rifles, which can
be locked in place. The general would
like to supply three to each company
and is thinking—of the cost. He would
also like^ to supply each company with
dummy cartridges for loading drill
but there you are again—the cost.
The state is nearly ready with equip-*
ment to placc her soldiers ir the field
in as good shape as the regulars. New
supplies are coming' in almost daily.
Each man will be supplied with an over
coat, blue flannel shirt, leather belt, and
tan shoes, blankets, a poncho, haversack
and canteen. When on the march he
will roll his overcoat and blankets, tent
pole and pins, in half a shelter tent,
hang it gracefully over one shoulder
while the other will be festooned witlt
canteen and haversack, the latter con-,
taining a chance of underclothes, socks,
and such other necessaries as it will
hold. The men will be attired in olive
drab khaki, leggings, blue shirts and
campaign hats. Blue suits will be left
at home with the numerous trunks, grips
and packages which heretofore required
a special wagon train to transport. It
will be observed from this that a
"business trip" is in prospeot. It is re
ported an officer's tent wilt not contain
all his household belongings, including
his wife and family, but such cruelty can
