THAT BISMARCK GAME.
I Tribune: The alleged ball game
'bftween the locals and the Fargo
•Crookston-Duluth nine yesterday was
Witnessed by about 150 tired people. As
expected, the game was intensely one
tided, the visitors playing horse most
©1 the time with the locals scared to
death. Spicer and Jarvie and Hanson
and Morris were the batteries for the
visitors and home team respecitvely.
'All through the game the locals pound
ed the ball plenty but there was al
ways a man at the other end and other
wise played a pretty good game. In
the second inning the* visitors ran in
six scores, added one in the next, and
Jthe locals made two somewhere in the
game. The umpire did all he could
to help Bismarck out, making the game
ridiculous and the spectators tired.
The visitors proceeded on their way
to the coast playing en route wher
ever they can pick up a little gate

NUMEROUS
CONTRACTS
Fargo Concerns Busy Installing Hint
teg
Plants at Home and Over
the State.
tracting business in Fargo just now,
one that may be called really busy is the
Fargo Plumbing & Heating Co, and
conditions reflect most conclusively that
there is considerable activity in the
Gateway City. The aggregate value of
contracts undertaken by Mr. Price since
Aug. 14, amounts to $34,950 in round
figures. They include a contract for
the extension of steam heating pipes for
the Union Light, Heat & Power Co.,
$15,000 changing the Metropole Hotel,
the deLendrecie Building, Telephone
Building and Huntington Block to the
vacuum system, installing heating plants
i the Piano Building, Tweeden Block
nd seven other blocks along Broadway,
all stores along Front Street from the
Commercial Bank corner to the Waldorf
ind along to the Colonial Flats on Sev
nth Street, to connect with the mains
"f the central heating plant. The same
liouse has contracts for Banker Sivert
on at New Rockford, the state science
•:hool at Wahpeton, the old M. E. Uni
versity hotel building at Balfour, a
Mock at Minot for R. C. Sanborn, the
Minnewaitkan Mercantile Co. block at
Aladdock, a big mercantile building at
farvey "and numerous other contracts
ver the state. Mr. Price says he is so
usy in all directions that he has not
me to bid on everything. In all, he
lys, he has sixty expert' Workmen at
v\'ork and that their contracts, during
the' month of August, averaged $1,000 a
day, and during September, so far, $2,
noo a day. All of which, declared Mr.
i'rice, goes to show that Fargo is still
1 live in the contract business and his is
nly one establishment Every house and

The body lay in such a position in

of violence there it would readily have
been detected.
The note gives no clue to the writer.
It'had probably been dropped in front
of the station by someone who did not
care to even enter the station but pre
ferred to leave the note on the outside
trusting that it would be picked up an'1
conveyed to the authorities, which it
was. The writer had evidently not
tried to conceal hi shandwriting and it
.this fact alone that may lead to his
identification.

Did you look st the back of
Johanson's head dn tbe .back it
is a hole. -ii.
Written with a lead pencil on a piece
of ordinary wrapping paper, the fore
going note was picked up in front of
the police station this afternoon.
Whether it contains a .clue which may
assist -the officials in clearing up the
mystery surrounding the death of A.
E. Johansson whose body was found
in the Red River Saturday afternoon
or is a hoax is a question hich the
police are trying to answer.
Because absolutely nothing has been
learned by the authorities concerning
Johansson or his friends and because
of the fact that his body was in a
ghastly state of decomposition when
discovered, the authorities are inclin
ed to treat the note seriously, although
there are at least five men who saw the
body who are prepared to swear that
there was no mark or "hole" on the
back of the head.

HE
DRUGGED
Ed Crawford was in a complete state
of intoxication when he was escorted to
the police station last night. In the
words of Qfficer Tietgens. who made
the arrest, he was "profoundly alcohol
ized," hence the surprise of Judge Gear
ey was great when the prisoner faltered
when asked if he was guilty or not
guilty of the charge of drunkenness.
"I'll tell you, judge," said the priso
ner, "it was just like this——"
"Sufficiency," thundered the court,
making use of a phrase which convulsed
an audience at the operahouse last night.
"I asked you if you were guilty or not
guilty."
"Well, if you put it that way I sup
pose 1/ am guilty," was the hurried re
sponse.
"Five or four for you," said the court,
"but I will suspend sentence if you will
go right out and go to iyork."
Before he left the station, Crawford
announced that it was his private opin
ion that he had been drugged and rob
bed last night.
"I had $4 when I came back to Fargo
from Motfrhead," he said: "A fellow in
vited me to take a drink out of a bottle

JF^LLTERM

ing—Encouraging Registration Today
—Music Department's Notes.
This is registration day at Fargo Col
lege and the institution will open for
regular work, the first day of the fall
term, tomorrow morning. Miss Lewis,
registrar, this afternoon reported that
the enrollment was very good and Slight
ly in excess of expectations for the
opening day. of the fall term. The mem
bers of the faculty are all on hand ex
cept Miss Moore, teacher of elocution,
who is detained by sickness at her home,
but her place will be filled for the pres
ent by a substitute.
President Morley announced that the
opening exercises of the college will be
held tomorrow morning at 11:30, in the
chapel, and that there will be appro
priate addresses by different gentlemen
and that friends generally of the insti
tution will be very cordially welcomed
and a. goodly turn out of citizens will
be highly appreciated as that mark has
a decided influence upon the members
of the student body, especially thoi»e
from out of town.
At the rooms of the Fargo College
Conservatory of Music, in the Stone
Building, First Avenue North, W. W.
George, the new director, was found
busy getting well acquainted with his
quarters, ife arrived from Boston Sat
urday and he says that he begins to
like Fargo more and more every day.
Mr. George says he intends to organize
systematic courses so that students aft
er graduation will be fitted for teaching
if they so desire. He will handle appli
cants in any line arid Care will be given
to those intending to graduate, studies in
theory, harmony, musical history, sight
reading and all minor features. Later
if there is a demand there will be a
department for the equipment of teach
ers of music ip the public schools—
this is the coming thing in the east and
middle west. There will be semi
monthly recitals and one general re
cital at the end of each term. Tomorrow
is registration day for music students.
Two additional teachers for the depart
ment are under conisderatjon.
FARGO MILL BUSINESS'
BRIGHTENING
UP NICELY
fn'a talk today with President Ten
nant of the Fargo Mill Co., he said the
milling business was brightening up
nicely, that the wheat this year was of
good miUing quality.
The prices today showed a decline of
20 cents per barrel during the past
week. They were first wheat patent
$5 a barrel, second patent $4.80 per
barrel. It is anticipated that when all
new wheat is used flour will still go a
little lower. At present the mills are
mixing old wheat with the neVv. Far
go wheat prices today were: For
Northern, No. 1, 75 cents No. 2, 72
cents and No. 3, 69 cents. One of the
by-products of this mill which is be
coming very popular with the people
is "Teddy Grits" and goes plong with
Fargo flour. Mr. Tennant thought that
in a little while there would be some
enquiries regarding export flour busi
ness as the outlook was becoming
promising and then the mill would be
running a night shift.
The county tax report, just issued in
Asheville, N. C., shows that George W.
Vanderbilt is the largest taxpayer. Mr.
Yanderbilt's real estate outside of the
'city is appraised at $1,410,336 and per
sonal property at $122,219. In the city
his Victoria property and real estate
is taxed at $40,515 and his personal prop
erty at $9,880. Mr. Vanderbilt will pay
to the county and city about $16,000 in
taxes.
AT OLD TRICKl
"Mr. Harry Humes was a Visitor
at the Dakota Business College yes
terday looking up a good stenogra
pher. Professor Watkins sent Mr.
Charley Olson." Quoted from an
ad in Morning Call. The only trou
ble with above is that it is not true
in two essentials: Charley Olson is
not a D. B. C- student as. Professor
Watkins tries to make it appear, and
secondly Mr. Olson was not sent by
Professor Watkins, but by Mr. Pettet
and on being recommended by Aak
er's Business College from which Mr.
Olson graduated June 5.
It is certainly one on Professor
Watkins when he selects Aaker Bus
iness College students when a "good
stenographer" is wanted. The A. B.

DENTAL NOTICE
If when the Logan and Richmond
tooth crown and the modern dental
forceps were invented, if the people
say Philadelphia had absolutely
refused to adopt and use them, but
had said a wood pivot tooth crown
(porcelain tooth crown set with a
wooden peg) was good enough and
that they would have preferred
tp have their teeth gouged out with.
an old fashioned turnkey in prefer
ence to a forcep it would have prov
en that either the Philadelphia peo
pie were a little queer, that they
lackec) appreciation or that some
••rile, underhanded influence was
used to prevent people from,
adopting these improvements.
There are people in Fargo who
wouldn't sacrifice their six front
teeth fora thousand dollars apiece.
Now wouldn't you be foolish to ac
cept an inferior tooth crown just to'
accommodate some "Iago" friend.
Ideal tooth crowns and Ideal Por
