Those who have "houses to insure against the fire demon need not fear an increase in rates during the com ing year, according to reliable infor mation. It is understood that the fire underwriters of Minnesota have prac tically decided upon higher rates for that state for the next year and a re port was in circulation that the fire insurance companies of this state were considering a similar move. Inquiry among local insurance men, however, fails to confirm this report. The agents say that while there may be a few changes in rates in different parts of the state, there will be no gen eral raise, while in Grand Forks, as was not long since made public, there has been a slight decrease, due largely to the very high rate of efficiency and superiority in general of the local fire department Had it not been for the San Fran cisco disaster, which made all the companies cautious insurance rates all over the northwest would doubtless have shown a decline this year. It is thought that unless another great conflagration develop in the meantime, the decrease will come next year. FOR THE PARK Contract for Purchase of Site Received—Work to Begin on Grounds. The papers for the purchase of the park grounds at the foot of Third street were received today by the committee having in cnarge the park question and active work will begin soon for the beautifying of the grounds. It will be recalled that a tract of six acres had been purchased by the city at a cost of $2,000. The commission is composed of the following men: Geo. B. Clifford, W. P. Davies, M. T. Murphy, Prof. Kennedy, Stephen Col lins. President Clifford stated to the Evening Times today that the first thing to be done on the grounds would be the cutting out of some of the trees in order to give more light and better opportunity for the growth of the grove. The underbrush and weeds will be cleared away shortly, a crew of men will be put to work on the grounds. The commission now has other sites under consideration for park purposes and eventually some one or more will be decided upon and the purchase made. President Clifford stated that there would be nothing done in the matter of erecting a new stand at the Third street park this summer.

There was considerable agitation In civic circles over the round robin which was circulated some time ago to reduce the license fee for Ringllng Bros' Circus, says the Winnipeg Free Press. For some time the inquiry has been instituted as to why the rebate was granted a number of the aldermen hav ing expressed themselves as opposed to the scheme. Inquiry yesterday revealed the fact that the important document has gone astray. Mayor's Eiflaaatln. The mayor in whose possession the letter was, stated yesterday that it was not to be found any place. Questioned as to how many of the aldermen had signed the letter, he stated that all but one. It is under stood on good authority that this ald erman was Chris. Campbell, who was not approached at the time it was cir culated. If matters ended at this juncture all would be plain sailing, but at least six aldermen deny any knowledge of the affair whatever and state in no meas ured terms that they would not be a party to such an improper document. Aid. Saadlsoa's Side. Aid. Sandlson said yesterday that he had seen the letter in June and had signed it. He understood at the time that the circus was to come In June and he' signed It on the understand ing that the matter had not time to go before the license committee and this letter would make it alright. "I find now that I was wrong in doing so but will not deny it and am prepared to stand by the consequences. I am as sured that there were signatures on the paper from every alderman but one when I last saw it" Aid. Gibson remembered practical ly the same and was prepared to stand by his action. Aid. Harvey was most emphatic in his denial. He claimed he was out of town at the time and did not sign it at all. He also stated that he would ask at Monday night's meeting of the coun cil that the document be produced. He would also probe into the granting of The Fargo Trip. Arrangements have been practically completed for the special to Fargo on Grand Forks day at the state fair. It will leave this city at 8 o'clock in the morning and run to Fargo without stopping, making tbe distance In two hours. It will leave at such time on the return trip as may be designated by those in charge of the matter, but tickets will be honored on any train between Fargo and this city.

JOHN STAMPEN Death Messenger Removes One of Grand Forks' Oldest and Most Respected Citizens. At 3 a. m. this morning at the fam ily residence, numoer 211 Chestnut street, occurred the death of John J. Stampen, one of the old and respected residents of Grand Forks. Death was due to Bright'8 disease and came sud denly, deceased having only been con fined to. his bed since Sunday last. The funeral arrangements have not been made as yet owing to the absence from the city of Rev. Hulteng of the United Lutheran church from which the funeral services will be held, probably Sunday, the hour to be an nounced later. With the passing of John Stampen this community loses one of its most highly respected, citizens. Born in Norway in the year 1847, Mr. Stampen came to this country in 1869 locating at Chicago. Later he removed to Madison, Wis., where he was appoint ed assistant to the state historical society by Governor Ludington. In 1882 he came to Grand Forks and for three years engaged in the grocery business with M. Rueth. the firm name being Stampen & Rueth. In 1890 he was elected register of deeds of Grand Forks county, serving with credit and being again elected to that office to succeed himself. He held the office three terms and made a careful and efficient public servant. In 1897 Mr. Stampen accepted a con tract with the New York Life Insur ance company as special agent and since that time has been engaged in that business. He was a firm believer In life insurance and an agent who had a convincing argument, always assisting his ctyents in securing a con tract which seemed best adapted for their wants and position in life. For some years Mr. Stampen had been ailing but his energy and de termination kept him up and he al ways maintained a cheerful exterior, a pleasing personality which en deared him to those with whom he as sociated. Some years ago the family lost a son and the sorrow of that loss deep ly saddened the liveB of the father and mother. Since then a little son now about 4 years old came to gladden the home and together with the widow are the sole family survivors. It was a beautiful sight to witness the affectionate solicitude of the dot ing parent manifest by his watchful care of the little one and many have remarked at the evident happy family relations which existed In the cosy home on Chestnut street. The writer lived as neighbor to Mr. Stampen for some time and In all sin cerity can say that but few men had the happy faculty of making those about blm feel the cheerful reflections of his own sunny nature characteristic of John Stampen. His death is mourned by a wide circle of friends and old neighbors and the sympathy of the community in general will eo out to the bereaved wife and little son too young to appreciate the loss of a kind and indulgent father. Home Tomorrow. A message from Judge C. J. Flsk this afternoon states that he will ar rive home tomorrow morning.
