GRAND Electric light Discussion Tonight There wil be an adjourned meeting of the city council this evening to consider several very Important matters, among which will be the con sidering of the bonds of the newly appointed and elected officials. It is understood that all of the officials will furnish bonds and qualify. The most Important item of business to come before the councllmen tonight will be the matter of the electric light plant of the city. It ia in need of, renovating and extensive -repairs. One of the boilers is in bad shape and the machinery and .building generally is out of repairs. It is understood that the new council is in favor of putting the plant in first class condition. There will be an effort, so it Is alleged, to secure a franchise .for gas and lights in the city for the Grand Forks Gas & Electric company. While the" company has lighting privileges for both gas and electricity, it is a serious consideration as to whether It would not be cheaper for the city at large to'dispose of the plant and to light the city from the west side. It is current belief that a deal could be made to have the Grand Forks concern take over the plant. At the present tfme they are furnishing lights to many patrons cheaper than the city plant can do it. On the other hand, while the new council is not bound In any way to refuse the' Jranchise to the Grand Forks company, they are believed, to be against, the proposition and that they will spend considerable money to put the plant in a first class, condition. They are of the opinion that) it will be for the best interests of the city. The matter will be fully considered at the meeting this evening and Some lively discussion is anticipated. 1 CLOSING SESSION 7:3 O P. M. Music by the Agricultural college cadet band.

A SQUARE DIAL FOR ALL MM Former Court Physician Says He is Led By the Nose By Grand Dukes. Paris, Jan. 4.—A remarkable ac count is published here of an inter view. with Dr. Lalande, who occupied a post at the court of Alexander lit, and is on confidential terms with the present emperor of Russia. The phy sician declares that he knows all about what has been passing at Czarskoe Selo, including the dramatic scene with the Grand Duke Vladimir. He prefaces his narrative by an excellent character of His Majesty. Very hon est, extremely studious, a devoted hus band and father, but unfortunately weak, and at bottom a fatalist, he suf fers himself to be led by the Grand Dukes, particularly Nicholas and Vladimir, who have immense influence over him. The Czar, too has a strange conception of duty. Only lately, when the Empress besought him to abdicate and leave the country, he replied: "I am the officer of my empire. When he died my father confided to me a trust which I shall .keep, blindly submitting to it with a firm faithful ness whatever may betide, and deliv ering it intact to my successor. I am only a soldier, a chief and a soldier never deserts his post." "But" cried the Czarina, "I no longer live. Every night in awful dreams, I see the pal ace invaded by armed soldiers, who throw themselves on us, and I fear for ours, for you, for myself. Think of Alexander of Servla. Let us fly I implore' you, let us fly. We are too unhappy." Nicholas II. then answered "And my people? Do you imagine that they are less unhappy than we are?" "Then,," proceeded the doctor, "he went back to his maps or his mystical speculations, still a toy in the hands of the ambitious Grand Dukes, the most influential of whom is Vladimir, a terrible man who will not tolerate the slightest. concession, however just it may be. When the Emperor, al though willing to grant fair conces sions, hesitates the Grand Dukes Nich olas and Vladimir rush Into, his study, and flying into a violent rage, argue in loud tones with him until the Em-' peror hesitates no longer but gives up the contemplated reform for the sake of peace at home." The doctor then goes on to relate \qj»al. he., alleges to be details of a scene between the Czar and the Grand Dukes Nicholas and Vladimir, when the latter is said to have offered personal violence to his Majesty: The story has been contra dicted from St. Petersburg.

Chesterman returned to Croqkston last night and the myBtery surrounding the death of Ole Berg near Erskine. is not entirely cleared up. The report that the old man committed suicide in the hog pen, is discredited by the coroner. While'the remains had been removed to the house before he reached there, he was satisfied from the testimony of the family, that there was no question but that he was found near the hog pen. The story as told by Coroner Chesterman is that the 'old man had been a cripple and an invalid for some 17 years and that he was very frail physically. The family had not been acustomed to leave him alone but they were anxious to visit a neighbors for a couple of hours and he urged them all to go. When ihey returned they found him dead in the barn yard. The only thing which seems like evidence of .suicide is a letter which lie_ left in the house addressed to his wife, Mary Berg. After they left he evidently either felt that death was at hand or else he contemplated self destruction and wrote a brief letter for the family. He said in substance that he was not happy and not feeling very well. He told where a cer- tain sum of money was to be found and bid them all good bye. Coroner Chesterman does not attempt to explain the mystery but from the remains, he is convinced that the death was accidental rather than a suicide and that there was absolutely no evidence of foul play and that' a coroner's -jury would be a useless expense to the county. &**> \«25 r?r iltf*jSS *&"-r .V 'V- MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNOR WAS INAUGURATED Boston, Mass., Jan. 4.—Curtis Guild, Jr. took the oath of office as governor of Massachusetts today.

A HARMONIOUS 1 MEETING li Eaiplejrere of Painters and Journey men Held Social Session la Odd Fel lows' Hall Last Evening—Refresh ments Served and Good Time En. Odd Fellows' hall waa the scene of an, important meeting WATC«: LK-»* I A IS NOT SERIOUS The Franco-German Situation Can Undoubtedly Be Satis factorily Adjusted. London, .Tan. 4.—Official and unoffi cial circles in Great Britain not consider the Franco-German situation as serious. It Is admitted that Ger- serious condition. Reports were current last evening and today to the effect that his life was dispared of, but this could not be authenticated and in fact seems' to be but the exaggerated report usual in such cases though it seems certain that the popular and beloved pastor is in a aci crit noclt.in do in a critical condition. Prominent members of this his for mer charge have been looking an xiously forward from him for some time and the .deepest anxiety is felt among a large circle of admiring and loving friends in Grand Forks. The call to the St. Paul charge was an important one and the work re quired of heavy responsibilities. It is thought that this, coupled with somewha£ weakened health has brought on the attack of the old diffi culty. Rev. Steven's spent some time abroad last summer in study and re search and is known and admired as a man of strong and forceful charac ter, a speaker of splendid strength and originality. His speedy recovery will be anxiously hoped for by his many friends here. last evening when representatives ot the' p^inttwg and decorating establiidimente of th& city and the journeymen met in a aocial aession.

New York, Jan. 4.—According to the calculations of financial experts mote money will be disbursed this month*] in interest and dividend payments than in any corresponding month ia any previous year. A number of im portant railroads and industrial cor porations have either resumed or in creased their dividends, against a very small number that have passed or re duced their dividends. In addition there are scores of small corporations, banks and "trust companies that have either started or resumed dividends. many may raise questions at the Moroccan conference which may cause irritation. It is not believed that this will prevent a final satiB factory adjustment. of wages as well as a higher grade of workmanship. It seems to be the opinion that first-class men are not paid in proportion to those having a limited knowledge of the business and it is for this equalization, that the painters are most anxious. Remarks were made by Messrs. Can nifi, Lamb, Roat, Iverson and Peter son, all engaged in the business in thia city, and employing a number of men. The employers' are apparently will ing to raise the scale of wages and ia return expect a higher class of work manship from the painterB. The meet ing lasted until a late hour and waff highly productive of good results. Refreshments were served in the hail. EAST SIDE NEWS McFadden Paid Fine. This morning the case of the state vs. Dau McFadden was tried in Judge Sullivan's court. Mrs. Oliver Lee, who keeps a cafe in connection with the Kittleson saloon, was the com plaining witness. She alleges that McFadden struck her without provo cation while discussing the matter of a civil suit in her place of business. The defendant alleges that he waa called to the Lee restaurant to dis cuss his availability as a witness in a civil suit which Mrs. Lee has pending and that his ideas of the particulars, of testimony did not agree with those of Mrs. Lee and she struck him and, he warded off the blow and caught hold of her to prevent any further trouble while he made his escape. McFadden pleaded guilty and was fln«d $5 and costs. Anderson Unbalanced. County Attorney James Mayoary received a telegram Monday from Se attle authorities which stated' that Bert R. Anderson, formerly of Crooks ton, was under the charge of the au thorities of that place and was be lieved to be mentally unbalanced.
