and that he neither deafened the

Lincoln club with 400 members itt that
city which was rapidly growing. The
disposition pf the sonth is to vie, with
the north in tributes to Lincoln as the
norti vies with the south in eulogizing
Robert E. Lee. Mason's and Dixon's
line is bat a myth. (Cookery, feupid
and industry was shortly to unite the
two sections—the young.men of the
north mairying southern girls, the
love ot the north for southern. warm
bread and esokery in.general, and the
gathering of northern capital in the
Industrial centers of the south, was
fast uniting the two sections ct Jthe
nation. ••-.
1
Im'rtlB InplrcM.
Mr. .Beadles said that not all of the
inspired histot? was in the bible. The
life of Lincoln and all great peoples
was inspired. God no more called the
prophets of old to a chosen work than
Lincoln was called to free the slaves
and to save the government' of the peo
ple from perishing from the earth.
Lincoln was a plain man of the peo
ple, a product of the fields and the
woods. It is the 'exception and not the
rule that men of'genius «ome from the
schools—God's great school is the
field, 'the open book of nature/ The
speaker declared that brick pavements
Were not adapted to the production of
men—God never reaches over a, picket
fence and takes a dude out of a ham
mock when he wants a man.. He goes
out into the 'fields and selects a son
of the common people.
The colleges do not turn out all the
the scholars: However, the speaker
did not wiSh to be understood as de
crying the colleges or the schools.
Men like Lincoln became great be
cause they did not have any advan
tages of education, but in spite of such
handicap.
Rev. Beadles paid the highest pos
sible tribute to Lincoln as a leader
of men, a statesman and a Christian
man. His power of literary expression
was remarkable. He classed him
among the greatest orators of all time.
He was greater than Demosthenes,
Cicero and the peer of any orator of
.modern times. 'His'Gettysburg speech
was the! peer of any literature known
to the world. It is worthy of :place
alongside of the 23d Psalm, the beati
tudes and the Lord's prayer.
DEVILS LAKE
-North and Sonth Railroad Dream Is a
Realisation—Town With ithe Satanic
Appelation Will Take to Itself a
Large Slice «f Population.
Devils Lake ls.preparing ior .a regu
lar boom this season. For' years
there has been the dream of another
railroad north and sonth—a dream
that had become a sort a inheritance
handed down from one generation to
another, and like a fortune descending
to the collateral heirs, getting smaller
with:the Increase of time.. But a few
weeks ago the people awoke in the
morning and realized that the dream
had become true. The contract
for the Aneta branch was let
and their first definite informa
tion came in the fohn of a
city. Last fall Louis Hill, while on a
trainload of piles to be used in con
structing the bridge across the lake.
Even when this report was circulated
it was feared that it might not b'e true,
-and this material might be destined
for some'' ot}ier point and merely sidi
tracked here because of the snow
blockade on itjie road. But when the
contractors arrived and began engag
ing teams to draw the timber to the
bridge site, the people saw it was all
true. The dream was realized.
But it is not alone the building of
the road, that they see. For years the
.Great Northern (depot has looked like
a hen coop set.on the prairie. The
city baa asked .again and again .to
have tills eye-sore replaced bjr one' in
keeping witft the importance of the.
city.. Last fall Louie Hill, while on' a
huntingrtrip in'the country, stated that
the delay had been made until the
railroad officials conld determine, just
'how important the place was to be.
That, at the time, was thought to be a
sugar-coated {till like all the other
promises. Now the reason Is appar
ent. The new depot will be of the
character required for the accommoda
tion !©f /the business of two great trunk
lines. This will most .certainly be
built during the summec, as will a
large sound houEe and an addition to
the trackage of Use yards.
With ibis new railroad business
there has come a demand'for houses,
and/there orlll be a heavy line.of buiM
isg of this character. •$
The new hotel, wMle not assured,
Certainly begins to look as though it
wo«Jd be a so? The plan is to build
a 9M.OOO buiMtiog and ^expend apm=
thing like half tliat amouad in furikiBh
Ing it It will te thorougbly modern
and will be built, if at all, with a view
to maklng it the leading hotel whan,
the city reaches a pc^nlatipn of 10,00ft.
One good business block will be
erected. It Will be on one of the prin
cipal corner*, probably sevealjr-flve
feet on one street and fifty on the
other, two, if not three atorles hlgh,
and will p&htaln a number of busiaM's

United States Government to
Build a Kile of Model Road
in Eaoh Connty. 7
j. M. Costello, the chief of the in-'
dustrial department of the Great
Northern railway, has a^ proposition
from the good roads department. of the
United States government to construct
a mile of model road in each county
in the state. The plan of the depart
ment will be the same as in the past,
the Great Northern will furnish a
train which will bear the latest road
making machinery and a week will
be spent in each county.
W. B. Sinclair, the station agent
of the Great Northern here, Is in re
ceipt of a communication relative to
the work of the train. A mile of road
will be constructed if arrangements
can be made. It is expected that the
department will not have any, trouble
in getting the co-operation of busi
ness men fie re and throughout the
state.
The train will also visit the east
side of the river and will made a
demonstration either in East Grand
Forks or CrooKston. It is not likely
that it will visit all of the counties
in the western part of the state, but
will go where there seems to be need
of better roads and where their con
struction is difficult.
A POTANTATE
WASJERE
Exauited Ruler of the Mystic Shrine
of the World Passed Through the
City Last Evening Enroute to Fargo
to the Ball Given By That Order.
Last evening W. L. Collins of Toron
to, mystic potentate of the order of
Mystic Shriners of the World, was a
transient in the city for a short time
between the arrival of the Winnipeg
train over the Great Northern and the
departure of train 10 of Fargo. Mr.
Collins was met by a number of the
shriners of Grand Forks and an im
promtu reception was tendered just in
front of the station and near the rear
coach of train 10.
Mr. Collins expressed himself as de
lighted with the courtesy shown by
the people of Grand Forks and ex
pressed a wish to meet them all at
some future date. He extended a cor
dial invitation to them to, go to Fargo
tomorrow evening where he is going
to attend the grand ball to be given
there by the order tomorrow evening.
He said that if Grand Forks was as
cordial and pleasant as the gentlemen
who had done him the honor to come
to the train to welcome him, he would
be delighted to visit the city at some
future date.
WILDER WINS
WARTUG
Exciting Contest Among the Public
Schools of the City Saturday After­

Crowded With Spectators.
Saturday afternoon a large crowd
assembled^ at the Y. M. C. A. building
to witness the tug of war among the
public schools of East and West Grand
Forks. The excitement ran high and
there was fun galore as the boys
sturdily hauled and tugged at the
neither end of the strong rope. Each
victory by a school counted 25 per

President Roosevelt Asked
Abont Duluth Going
Democratic.
"Will you explain how it was that
Duluth elected a Democratic mayor?"
This, according to a dispatch, was
the question asked by President Roose
velt in Washington Saturday of Con
gressman Bede in the presence of con
tractor P. McDonnell, who is well
known here, who is at the national
capital on business connected with
his million dollar irrigation dam con
tract which he secured at Boise City,
Idaho, 10 days ago.
Contractor McDonnell on arrival
at Washington sought Congressman
Bede, and Tyith him went to the White
House, where he was introduced to
the president. After mutual greetings
the president nearly swept the Duluth
contractor off his feet by his ready
grasp of local events throughout the
country, as shown by his question re
garding the local mayorality, especial
ly since the city election had been
held only four days previously.
Mr. McDonnell was for once at a
loss for a reply, and Congressman
Bede stepped into the breach by say
ing:
"Oh, well, it's all because our friend
McDonnell had a thousand dollar bet
on Dr. Cullum, the Democratic candi
date."
Basket Ball Games.
On Saturday night two fiercely con
tested basket ball games were pulled
off at the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. In
the preliminary game the Mayville
normal school girls defeated the Y.
W. C. A. team by a score of 13 to 6.
The work of both teams was of a
high order, but with size, strength and
experience against them the locals
could hardly expect to pull out a vic
tory. Nevertheless, in the last half
of th6 game they held the visitors
down to four points and meanwhile
secured three, bringing the total up
to six.
Misses Lund and Tagley did the best
-goal throwing for their teams and the
guarding of Miss Coulter was also
roundly applauded by the spectators.

The boys' game between the Y. M.
C. A. athletes and the normal bunch
,certainly realized the expectations of
those who had come prepared for a
hard, fight. The final score showed
the visitors in the rear 8 to 10. The
most notable feature of the game was
the persistent guarding of both teams
with here and there a brilliant play
interspersed to keep the spectators
alive to the situation. Mayville's lone
field goal speaks well for the ability
of Woods and Albertson, the local
guards. Of the three field goals se
cured by the Y., two, one by Dietz
and theVother by Woods, were of the
sensational order and certainly
"brought down the roof." Fawcetfs
goal throwing was not up to his usual
standard, but was characterized to
some extent by hard luck.
Prof. Pope, a former Northwestern
university star, who has been coach
ing the Mayville teams said, after the
game: "It was the fastest exhibition
I,have seen for a long time and we
have nothing but praise for the Y.
M. C.' A. and for Grand Forks."

Prominent Citizen and Tax Payer
States That If Citizens Here Would
Do Less Knocking and More Boost*
Ing the Same of East Grand Forks
Would Be Regarded With Less Awe.
"The name of East Grand Forks is
regarded with general disfavor and
prejudice all over the Union" said a
prominent citizen today." Why is all
this talk and jabber over the tough
ness of our city being aroused? Sim
ply because a lot of people here who
do not know any better, and who have
no property interests to speak of, to
protect instead of giving the city a
helping hand when they have the op
portunity and doing all they can for
It's benefit, knock it and speak ill of
it any time they see a chance. East
Grand Forks has one of the worst
reputations for being a criminal city
and a wild and wooly place than any
other place it's size within the bound
ary lines of the United States. I have
looked up criminal records in many
cities surrounding here and find that
this city has less crime in it than Lari
more or Crookston, Bemidji and many
other places smaller than it is. I ad
mit that years ago East Grand Forks
was a very bad place for crime and
vandalism but the dockets and records
show that in the last five or six years
the place has been a model one, and
that for a place with the number of
saloons this one has, it is a model
town. If the people who do all this
knocking would change their ways the
place would increase in size and popu
lation at a remarkable rate."
WILD GAME IS
PLENTIFUL
Returned Hunter Says That Bears,
Moose, Dear and Especially Wolves
Are to Be Found In Lnrge Numbers
—Will Return in Spring.
Joe Bendeke, who recently returned
from a trip to the Iron range district,
and who has been hunting in that
vicinity since last fall, reports that
wild game and especially of the large
species is more plentiful than it has
been for years. Wolves especially are
present in large numbers this winter
and the hunters make big money kill
ing them and securing the bounties
of $10 for males and $15 for females.
The reason for the enormous num
ber of big game, is thought to be on
account of the deep snow and the dif
Acuities the hunters consequently have
in running down their quarry. Bears
are said to be quite plentiful in that
section of the state and a valuable
premium is ottered for their hides as
well as the meat which is very palata
ble as the old timers well know.
Bendeke contemplates returning in the
spring and securing some more game
when the heavy snow is gone and
travelling in the woods is less diffi
cult.
GAME PLAYED
BY WIRE
Dr. Kirk of This City and F. A. Mizen
of Red Lake Falls Try Conclusions
in a Game of Chess Over Telegraph
—Large Number Present.
One of the most novel and interest
ing games ever pulled off on either
side of the river took place last night,
the local man, Dr. Kirk being the vic
tor. The game was a decided novelty
in its line, the two contestants being
old hands at the art and consequently
knew their plays as if they were sit
ting at the board together. The play
was started by the doctor and in the
eleventh move when Mr. Mizen, thtf
Red Lake Falls representative, made
a bad move the game was practically
won. The thirty-third move was the
final. However, as Mr. Mizen saw
he was defeated he resigned. The play
was interesting in the extreme and
on account of the novelty of the per
formance a large numUter of the lpcal
enthusiasts as well as from the west
side of the river witnessed the con
test. Altogether there were sixty-five
messages sent and the wires were kept
humming for three hours. The chess
players of this side of the river have
never done much together before this
winter, but through the efforts of Dr.
Kirk and other good players some
good contests have been played and
arranged for. Such novelties in the
game as was pulled off last night
helps very materially \to arouse inter
est .in the game and some future
events almost as interesting are look
ed for.

contest the case some surprising re

introduced. The evidence used in this
Bell-Jarvis case could not be used as
the Clynch-Sherlock deal is for alder
man at large, wbereas the other was
fof alderman in the First ward. An
other reason is that the votes over the
whole city would have to be investi

other side would likely be found. The
sheet had no cause to make such a
statement as they did and would not
unless they had a hidden purpose.
WOULD WORK SCHEMA.
Congressman Steenersou Sees New
Public Building For Crookston.
Elias Steenerson, of Crookston, re
ceived a telegram from his brother,
Congressman Halvo Steenerson at
Washington, instructing him to have
all the government officials located in
this city partake in a scheme that may
help along with the proposed govern
ment building that is to be located
here.
Each official is to write Congress
man Steenerson on their official paper
asking that they be allowed office
room in the proposed building and
the amount of space that they would
require for the same. The matter will
then be taken up ty Congressman
Steenerson before the committee that
has charge of that work and will use
it to advantage in rushing the build
ing along.
There are located in this city the
referee in bankruptcy, deputy revenue
collector,
U.
S. commissioner and
postmaster who will make jeply to
the telegram and there is little doubt
but that there will be something ma
terializing as a result of the move
ment.
The Poor Justicc.

dict in the Bell-Jarvis case one of the
justices in this city said that his pro

for more than three days after the
evidence is all in, and that if they did,
the justices themselves would not be
allowed his costs, and if the verdict
was allowed to b'e laid over too long
the plaintiff would be likely to have a
little money coming from the justice.
"An attorney once came up to me,"
said he, "after the allotted three days
had expired and said that he had me
this time, and that 1 would not. get
any costs. Has the three days ex
pired 1 asked? He told me yes and
that was the reason why I could not
get my costs. Well I replied, the third
day was Sunday and I'm the one that
wins out. He had forgotten that if
the third day falls on Sunday that the
decision could be given qn the fol
lowing Monday."
Had a Strenuous Time,
One of the prominent farmers of this
vicinity who has his winter residence
in this city thought that he would get
a load of hay for his horses yesterday.
Accordingly he departed for the coun
try and to his farm and loaded a large
quantity of the dried fodder on the
hayrack. Before he had gotten half
way into town with his load he had a
bad runaway which tipped the rack
over and scattered the hay all the
way between here and Cartilage Junc
tion. The farmer is now minus a large
load of hay and a rack to carry it in
and promises never to do Sunday labor
again.
May Not Appeal.
The attorneys for James Jarvis
have not made' up their minds yet as
to whether they will appeal to the
supreme court or not. The costs in
the case have been enormous already
and much extra expense will be caused
to both sides if an appeal is taken.
Few people realize what a lawsuit
like the one just terminated would cost
and that the expense for appeals is
heavy. However, it is thought that the
appeal will be definitely decided upon
soon and if Borchers can sit in peace
in the council or not.

Since Saturday Evening the Grand
Forks Firemen Have Been Called
Out Five Times—Antlers Scene of
Midnight Blaze.
There was wild excitement this
morning at the Hotel Antlers at 12:25
when afire alarm was turned in. The
night clerk discovered a smart blaze
in the parlors on the second floor and
the alarm of fire spread throughout
the building. The guests appeared in
all sorts of dishabile and night gar
ments and by their excitement ad
ded to the difficulties of the depart
ment in extinguishing the flames. It
was but the work of a few moments
and the fire was out Some $150 worth
of furnishings were destroyed and
other damage done by the water.
At
6
o'clock last evening an alarm
was turned in from Werstlein's meat
market at 13 North Third street. The
rooms above the market are used by
the girls employed by the Hotel
Antlers. The blaze was In the hall
and burned a couple of holes in the
floor. It is believed by Chief Runge
that both fires originated from
matches carelessly thrown on the
floor.
Saturday evening the department re
sponded to three alarms, one on Sec
ond avenue and the others on Eighth
street They were all insignificant
chimney fires.
