SANFORD Dodge.

The progress OF this young tragic
actor has been phenomenal, and his
name is fast becoming q household
word throughout tho length and
breadth OF this great country.
In his rendition Of Damon, Othello,
Shylock and other great.roles, he does
not seem to merely act them but for
the time he seems to be these charac-
ters. This power OF giving up his
own personality and living the parts
he ass umes no doubt is the secret of
his great success.
His work has been praised by press
and public everywhere, and all the
atrical critics of discretion who have
seeni him, pronouncesSanford Dodge
as capable of wearing the mantle of
the tragedians of the past.
Sanford Dodge and his talented
company will appear at our operahouse
at no distant date and will, without
doubt, receive the hearty support they
deserve.

An Advertising story.

The following story of the mayor OF
Falaise is related by the Boston
Herald:
It was dark in the streets of Falaise.
The mayor ordered that every citi-
zen should hang a lantern in front OF
his door. But still the streets were
no lighter.
Then the mayor swore an oath and
issued proclamation that the citi-
zens should put candles in the Ian
terms.
And still the streets we're no lighter.
Then the mayor swore a greater
oath and issued proclamation that
the citizens should light the candles.
Then the streets were lighter.
A man once wished to make money.
He secured good store.
He secured good goods.
He secured good clerks.
He made no money.
Then he turned on his store the
light of newspaper advertising and let
the people know he was in business
and why. He kept them in the dark
no longer.
Then he made money.

A sad accident happened to the
twelve year old son of Barney Toenies
who lives northeast of Melrose, in the
town of Wildwood, on Wednesday.
The boy and his farther were in the
field with harvester drawn by four
horses. While fixing the machine the
lad had left the leaders and was stand
ing near the binder, when suddenly
the horses became frightened and
startsd to run. Toenies rushed to the
horses heads and quieted them down.
Looking toward ths machine he saw
his son standing with blood streaming
from his shoulder. In some way the
boy had been thrown into the gearing
of the machine and his arm ground
completely OF. DR.. Campbell was
sent for and dressed the wound.
The arm was cut OF by the machine,
asar the shoulder and owing to the ex-
citemsnt Of getting the boy to the
house, was forgotten and left lying in
the field. He was very weak from loss
Of blood, but stood the second ampu-
tatiou wall and yesterday was getting
along nicely.-Melrose Beacon.

This Is the Gasoline Quick

Ragged.

The streets of Sauk Centre present
a rather ragged and unkempt appear
ance at present-but there is a very
good and sufficient reason for it, up
to this time. The street force has had
it's hands full in connection with heavy
work on the sewer and sidewalk grades
and excavations, and the gutter paw
ngs-improvements of a permanent
character. AS q result of this rush
OF work it has been impossible to pay
attention to the lesser details, the neg
lect of which has given an untidy ap-
pearance to the city. This, in expla-
nation of condition which has been
criticised by many who fail to
appreciate the amount of work thrust
upon the commissioner during the
season.
But now that there is a relief from
this pressure, the HERALD hopes and
believes the little detail work-such as
street surfacing, weed cutting, tree
trimming, and rubbish removing will
be undertaken at once. In this con-
nection, property owners should see
that the weeds on their vacant lots are
cut. tits impossible to keep the streets
free from weeds SO long as vacant lots
are allowed to furnish super-abun-
dance OF seeds for the ensuing year.

DR.. 81. A. Pinault, the coroner of
Stearns county, has filed with the
clerk of court a certificate of the
death at Holding town on Friday Of
Christopher Roehrs, and the cause of
death is given as suicide. The coro-
ner was summoned to Holding last
night to investigate the case and he
reports that Roehrs had shot himself
through the head. The deceased was
a man of sixty years, and it is stated
that the cause for the rash act is
found I'M the fact that ditch had been
run across certain lands owned by
him. He thought that his lands had
been injured irreparably by the ditch
and brooded over the matter to such
degree that in a fit of desponency he

wheat.

The current crop of wheat in
this vicinity is nearly all cut, apd
much of it is in stack. In some To-
calities the grain was badly lodged
and considerable loss resulted, the
heads dropping below the cutter bar
OF the binder. In many instances il
has been found profitable to rake the
field after the binder.
The quality and yield is varied,
from very good to discouragingly
light and poor-although there will be
a fairly good crop, although not
nearly as good as conditions three
weeks ago indicated.
The frst wheat marketed was on
August 5-the earliest for years. II
was sold by Alexander Moore to the
Milling Company, graded No. 2, and
was docked one pound to the bushel.

A very fine specimen of wheat growr
in the timber was on exhibition in thu
city on Tuesday bright and for thu
most part plump. 1t graded No. 1
and was docked one pound. The es-
timated yield based upon small

will indicate as to the average crol
is yet preblematical, and no opinion

that it is not above an average crop

SMALLPOX at Glasgow.

Great Falls, April 12.-There is still
smallpox at Glasgow and the schools
there are again closed. Thomas Green
an. bartender. who works for Mary
Fitzpatrick at the hotel was taken ill
on Tuesday and removed to the hospit-
al. On examination by DR.. Hoyt it
was found that he had a mild attack
of the disease and he was placed in
quarantine. DR.. Read of ST. Paul mas
arrived in Glasgow as a representative
of the Great Northern and will assist
DIR. Hoyt in stamping out every trace
of smallpox. The railway company is
doing everything in it's power to pre-
vent a spread of the disease, and with
the co-opera ton of the local authorities,
it should put an end to all danger in
a very short time. 1t is reported that
despite the strict orders of the COM
pany regarding taking passengers on
at quarantine stations or allowing them
to alight there, some travelling men
and others occasionally violate the rule
and by so doing expose hundreds Of
others. If the report is true, an ex-
ample should be made that would effec-
lively deter others from following the
bad example.

Mr.. M'CURDIE'S INJURIES
He Either Jumped or Was Violently
Thrown Through the Cab Window.
Every Car Left the Track and
Fell 10 Feet

Great Falls, April 12.-This city is in
a state of semi blockade. Since the &C
cident OF yesterday morning there is
neither ingress nor egress to the East
The train from the west ran for Big
Sandy this morning, but at the railway
offices 1t was reported about noon that
it would return without transferring
passengers and come back to this city
after reaching the scene of the wreck.
Up to O'Clock this evening it had not
made its appearance, but will probably
come in later.
Beyond Big Sandy there are a num-
her of washouts and it is probable that
several days will elapse before St. Paul
trains reach this city. The only exit
from Great Falls at the present time
is by way of the Montana Central and
Butte.
William McCurdie. who was injured
in the wreck, was brought to this city
last night on a special train and taken
to the Columbus hospital. At the time
he arrived here he was still uncon-
scious. but this morning he rallied suf-
fciently to recognize his brother, Dan.
He is injured in the abdominal region
and his condition is very doubtful.
1t appears that Mr.. McCurdie was
riding in one of the coaches when the
bridge was reached. The ravine under
the bridge had been filled in with earth
and stone. and a small culvert left for
the water to run through. For several
days the water had been very high in
that vicinity and the engine men de-
clined to run across the bridge. Mr..
McCurdie went forward and assured
them that the bridge was all right;
that freight train had just passed
over. He got into the cab and the en-
gineer started across the bridge, run
ming slowly. The engine had not quite
got across the bridge when the struc-
ture gave away.
Every car left the track and fell 10
feet. The water tank, even, fell, but
the engine remained on the track. al
though it careened forward for a few
seconds. Mr. McCurdie either jumped
| or was thrown through the cab window.
He struck on his head and was rendered
unconscious. AS soon as possible the
post surgeon from Fort Assinniboine
was brought to him and later in the
| day DR.. Longeway, chief surgeon of
the Montana Central, went down.

IT'S OFF COLOR.
The Water Great Falls Is Drinking Is

The Water Great Falls Is Drinking Is
Pretty Bad.
Great Falls, April 12.--There was a
popular Impression that after the city
had gained possession of the water
supply there would be an Improvement
in the quality of the liquid, particularly
in the springtime. Up to date there
has been nothing done to justify that
impression. The water, or whatever 1t
is. painfully pushes it's way through the
pipes and comes out of the taps in the
wearied fashion to which the people
were accustomed in the days when one
paid his monthly blood money to the
private owners. The water has dirty
greenish. yellowishgray tint which re-
minds one of unpleasant sights seen in
the coulees draining into the river
above the intake, and its taste is that
of the earthworm and the crypt. Pos
Sibly it serves a Scriptural purpose and
is a daily object lesson to man, remind
ing him painfully of his origin. That
does not make one love it the more. 1t
is too thick to battle in and too thin
for cement, and boiling is snare and
a delusion. A lump of butter, a sprink-
ling of celery salt, some herbs and
dash of tabascO sauce--to take away
the earthworm flavor-and you have an
excellent substitute for chicken soup
One housewife in this city is said to
nave SeINSu Chilled anu cut Ill SLICES
! on April l as coffee jelly. A stable man
reports that he tried to wash buggy
with it and it gummed his axles. An
other says he poured a dipperful out
when one of the Great Falls zeyhys
was signing and it broke as it fell and
blew away as a cloud of dust. There
are no affidavits accompanying these
stories, but the fact remains that the
water is thick and bad and looks like
override beef tea. 1t may be all right
for nguishing fires if the force at
the power house is sufficient to drive it
through the pipes but offered as bever-
age it is provocative of profanity and
intemperance. On drawing a glass of it
the beef extract idea comes forcibly,
the embalmed beef extract idea. one
might say, if he remembers that under
the old regime borax was put into the
intake crib to pickle the stuff before it
was delivered to the consumer.
