APPEAL TO COURTS Judge Glaspell and Others Will Test Validity of Coun cil's Recent Action. Petition of Plaintiffs that Prop erty be Excluded From City Was Refused. Matter of Appointment of As sessor Discussed, But No One Named for Place. The regular meeting of the oity coun cil was held Monday night, Mayor Steel, Aldermen Klaus, Wilder, Crum, Giese ler, Trimble and Wonnenberg being present. Attorney Rose announced that Messrs. Glaspell, Dunsmore and Smith, whose petition to have certain lands exoluded from the oity limits was refused by the council, hud filed a copy of the petition with the clerk of court and also brought suit against the city to ddoide whether the property should remain within the city limits or be ex cluded therefrom. The case will be heard in Judge Lauder's court in Wah peton Saturday, March 10. A general discussion took place and it was the unanimous opinion that the suit should be carried to the supreme court if nec essary. It was argued that to grant the petition would be unfair to the holders of city bonds as well as to the taxpayers of the city who were not included in the exclusion act. It was also the opinion that distriot oourts had no jurisdiction in the matter. The case is a new one in this state, attorneys claim, and, as one alderman remarked, it is a wise plan to have the matter settled. Attor ney Murphy represents the plaintiffs in the suit. The matter of appointing an assessor for the ensuing year was considered. A communication was received from Mayor Steel in whioh he stated that the term of the present assessor would expire, according to Judge Glaspell's decision, March 25. The oounty board will hold a meeting the last Saturday in this month and there would be no assessor to represent the city at the meeting. But Mayor Steel stated that he did not care to hamper his successor in the mat ter of appointments and he would leave it to the council to deoide what should be done. In justice to Bailey Fuller, Mayor Steel said that he believed that gentleman was not aware at the time he made the appointment two years ago that it would extend to the present time. As for himself, Mr. Steel said, he would rather leave the matter of ap pointment to the next mayor. Alder man Trimble facetiously suggested that the present and the future mayor have a session and deoide the matter without further delay. Alderman Wilder sug gested that a committee of two be ap pointed in acoordanoe with the request of Mayor Steel, to attend the county board's session. After some disoussion it was decided to postpone action in the matter until the speoial meeting to be held March 2G. A communication from Fairbanks, Morse & Co., regarding a waterworks system was read. It seems that Mr. Churchill oalled on the company and their communication was based on his explanation of the situation here. The company suggested thaS a tank with a capacity of 60,000 or 70,000 gallons be built on a 100 ft. tower. This could be kept filled with a gasoline engine pump with a oapaoity of 0,000 gallons per hour. The cost would be 64,500. A stream from 7ii moh pipe would be thrown four hours and the cost would be 4 cents per 1,000 gallons to run the plant. A num ber of aldermen thought it would be wise to find out whether or not the How of the present well oould be inoreased before expending much money in any other direction. Some dissented from this and wanted to vote $10,000 bonds at the spring election, the proceeds to be devoted to the improvement of the waterworks system. Alderman Wilder thought that a tank oould be built and by confining the pressure of the artesian well the water oould be raised 100 feet. It was decided to leave the matter as it is until the next meeting. The finaice committee reported that 64,700 worth of 7 per cent, bonds were now past due and it was voted that the bonds be refunded with 9 bonds of de nominations of $500 and one bond of 6200 to draw interest at 4 per cent. An overdraft was reported in the we 1 fund. The matter was leftover. The auditor and treasurer's reports were referred, without reading, to the proper committees. The new valve was reported to have arrived and was placed on the well yes to-day. An order of ,$20 was ordered drawn in favor of Canham it Mastin who purchased the valve and put it on.

Kootn.s Needed. At the board of education meeting Tuesday evening, Messrs. Lutz, Steel, Ingalls, Mesdames Jcnes and Chenery were present. Mrs. Chenery reported that library books bad been ordered but had not yet arrived. Superintendent Schmidt reported that the enrollment for the past month was 632, an increase of 70 over the same period last year, which was due partly to the closing of St. John's academy for a few weeks. There are 316 boys and an equal num ber of girls. The average attendance was 548—same period last year 481. Twenty-seven non-resident pupils are enrolled. Seventeen new pupils were admitted during the month. Mr. Schmidt also reported that there was a great deal of difficulty found in heating some of the rooms during Feb ruary. This was the case in the 1st and 4th grade rooms on the south side and in all the rooms in the north side build ing. He recommended that some ar rangements be made for the accommo dation of 45 or 50 pupils who may be expected to begin attending school nest month. The teachers' committee was empowered to take such action as may seem best. Fourteen certificates had been re ceived from the president of the Uni versity at Grand Forks, Webster Merri field for pupils whose examination pa pers had been forwarded to him for ap proval. Certificates were issued in all the cases where the papers were sent whioh would seem to saow that the local examiner's judgment was very good. One weeks vacation will be given as usual at Easter.

The members of the K. P. sooiety en joyed a big time Tuesday night, the occa sion being the conferring of the rank of Knighthood upon six candidates: Port Eddy, Albert Collins, Larry Williams, James Ross, Edward Watt and George Meyers. There were about one hundred mem bers of the order present, including visitors from Caseelton, Valley City, Carrington, New Rockford and Oberon.

There is more Catarrh in 'uis section of the country than all oiner diseases put together and until the last few years was supposed to be inourable. For a great many years dootors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to oure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Soience has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and there fore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure manufectured by F. J. Cheney Co, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional oure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teagpoonful. It acts direotly on the blood and mnoous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to oure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address F.J. Cheney & Co, Toledo, O. Sold by druggists 75c. Hall's Family Pills are the best. Cream Separator Profitable. Anton Fried: It would be a great thing for farmers and for the state, if the present high prices for stock con tinue. There are millions of acres of land whioh stiould be used for sheep growing. This county alone can fur nish grass for many thousand sheep. The price of wool and mutton promises to be the best in many years and will induces good many to go into sheep growing. The increase of population in the oountry will keep up the demand if the protective tariff is not taken off and the wool and sheep of foreign countries admitted in greater bulk. Mixed farming is what pays best here as elsewhere as any one can see who notices what farmers have been getting ahead. Dairying is helping also and the cream separator whioh gives a better quality and more butter i6 being used more freely. It is a money maker as all who have given it a fair trial oan see.
