The jamestown Alert publishes an ac-
count of a tramp named Fred Bowers,
who spend sixteen days OF his back in a
car load of shingles from Tacoma to
jamestown, with nothing to eat but a
little bread and some apples. If Keg
hadn't taken occasion to moralize on the
condition of the w%orkingmen in this con-
n%ection, more credence would be placed
in this tramp story.
AS the time for holding the fair at
Dickinson approximation and 18th
increased enthusiasm on the part of the
people of that enterprising town is no.
ticed, and it is doubtful if Klinefelter's
hall will hold the promised exhibits.
Committees have been appointed on art,
dairy and cheese, fancy work, culinary
department., plants and flowers, natural
specimens, vegetables and grains, ETC.,
and the merchants and others are offer
ing prizes to competitors much on the
order of the Grand Forks street fair.
Another prominent feature will be a
baby show.
There is much comment on the lack of
exhibits from farmers at the jamestown
fair. One reason is stated by a farmer
to be that the danger of fires to unse-

fair and also prevented many preparing

country interest is said to be the pre-
miums' offered. There are too many
small prizes for single articles, and not
enough money as an lnducement for the
work of preparing exhibits and bringing
them in.
Some one kicked because the K. P.

hearsing over fifteen days, of ten hours
each, playing sixteen open air concerts,
three days racing, four political meet
ings, three grand openings, Decoration
day parade, four gratuitous open air
concerts, escort for the. ball club, besides
what playing they have done for the
K. P. lodge, and want to know how much
music the people want for $3.50.
A sad case was reported recently when
Hans @. Hanson of Fargo, received word
from his former home in Bergen, Norway,
stating that his mother had been burned
to death. The first message from across
the water was brief and did not give the
full particulars. Yesterday a letter was
received describing the horrible accident
and Mr.. Hanson was still further shocked
by the information that three of his
brothers had also burned to death in tie
same accident. It seems that his mother
and Der three sons, whose ages were Is,
16, and IS, lived in a small shanty. In
the night some time the shanty caught
fire and while the occupants were asleep
the terrible flames crept liz on them and
before assistance could reach them they
