All we q say of Tank Kee is
this: That he is the most amusing
as well as instructive lecturer we
have ever heard. Any one who
fails to hear him misses the best
thing that has been here in a long

This is being~done to protect the
people of Europe who manufacture
clumsy articles. Once the public,
in these countries, try American
goods, they want nothing else, but
they will find, those people who

hard task on their hands. It is
just the same way in this city the
people have gotten in the habit of
using Mann u Sons goods and if
all the other stores in Devils Lake

IT'S A ACT

After due consideration I have firmly resolved to discontinue my mer-
camille business. A .",
During a period OF sixteen years have had the pleasure and satisfaction
OF doing business at n time or another with about every family in Ramsey
County, selling merchandise at a profit, and now that firmly decided to retire
from business, realize that in order to dispose OF 100000 in merchandise in
a short time it is necessary to make prices that are more than satisfactory to my
customers. ~ - A.
This stock sold is in a regular way would bring $4,000 to $4,000
but all We expect out Of it is $4,000, which in plain old school figures
means $126 SOC at least to be given away to patrons in thirty days time,
with your permission
This is not idle talk, but plain honest facts. The opportunity is yours,
will you accept of it.

A SHIP WITH A HISTORY.
The battered Old st. Louis Lying at
n PhiIadeIphia Wharf.

PHILADELPHIA, July Lying at the
foot of Fitzwater Street wharf. her decks
warped and unseaworthy, the old United
States frigate st. Louis, famed for ex-
ploit which made her name known all
over the country. is now sinking into
oblivion. She is hooded over with a shed
roof and all her old guns. once the terror
of foreign shi5s, are dismantled- Bat
tered and weather worn, the historic old
frigate lies at the wharf, unnoticed by
the majority of pedestrians. The St Louis
is the famous old frigate whose intrepid
commander, D. y. Ingraham, on July ?,
1855, performed a feat that made his name
ring from one end of the nation to the
other and which gave a new standing to
the American Navy abroad. The incident
happened at a time when the recOlections
of the naval victories of 1S12-15 had grown
dim in the memory of Europe.
In the first half of the last century Eu-
ropean nations ignored the fact that nat
uralization by law made Euro pean-born
persons as certain citizens of the United
States as birthright did those born on
American soil. Time and again there had
been clashes over this question between
the State Department and the various
Governments of Europe. The matter was
brought to a crisis by the seizure of Mar
tin kostza by the Austrian Government
Kostza was subsequently taken prisoner
aboard the Austrian brig HusSar in the
harbor of Smyrna.
The knowledge of the indignity to
kostZa became known to gallant Captain
Ingraham and he Immediately formed
plans for speedy rescue. The HusSar
and a corvette whose combined guns far
outclassed the st. Louis, lay In the harbor.
The Hussars captain was defiant. lie
would yield to no Yankee while he had a
gun TO fire or plank TO float. Captain
ingraham sailed the st. Louis with her
guns shotted and her decks cleared for
action up within 200 feet OF the austrian
warships. Then he sent simple little
note TO the captain of the Hussar asking
him to release KOStza. The captain re-
fused Then Captain Ingraham sent back
a characteristic reply. In effect 1t stated
that If the captive was not placed on
board the St. Louis within specified time
he would blow the WarShip and her con-
warm. And TO give point 10 the message
the captain beat his men to quarters and
prepared to give the Austrians an exhibit
tion of American pluck. Finally, when
things promised TO become hot the Aus
trians decided that they did not want
Martin KOstza after all, and within the
allotted time he was placed aboard the
St. Louis.
There was lot of diplomatic squabbling
after this incident, but 1t came to naught,
as it was decided that Captain Ingraham's
gallant action settled the question in the
best possible manner In 1854 Congress
urged the President to present Captain
Ingraham with a gold medal for his
plucky action. This was accordingly done.
The old St Louis Is now used a train
ing ship for the Pennsylvania Naval Re
serves. She has now reached her dotaSe
and is practically useless but when one
knows her history there is always feel
ing OF great respect for the battered old
WarShip.

CARRIED AWAY BY A BALLOON.
The Pluck of "A Twelve-Year-OId
Iowa Boy.

WEST LIBERTY, Iowa, July IA bal
loon ascension9 was to have been made
here yesterday by Baldwin brothers, Of
Quincy, H., and in the crowd watching
the preparations was Carlton Meyer,
twelve years old. Boylike, he was eager to
aid in the undertaking, and was helping
to hold the balloon down, when suddenly
it sprang into the air. with young Meyer
hanging head down, with his feet entan-
gled in one of the ropes.
The aeronaut who was to have gone
up in the balloon had the presence of
mind to call to the boy: Hang on to
the rope" The boy brayely clutched the
line. and squirmed around until he
caught one Of the dangling parachute
ropes, and he did not once make "a slip
as he twisted himself about and gradually
worked himself up to the balloon. Mrs.
Meyer, the boys mother, tainted as she
saw him carried away.
Straight upward shot the balloon with
its little captive When it had reached
an altitude of about a mile a current of
air struck il and it began to drift away.
Then began a novel and exciting chase.
AS the balloon moved the chOwd followed
it eXpecting every instant to see the bow
dashed to death on the earth. Along the
roads, over fields and fences they ran,
and when those on foot were diStanced
the pursuit was kept up by men in wag-
ons or on horseback
After five miles had been covered the
balloon began slowly to descend. AS the
air in it cooled it steadily settled. waver-

with the breeze. as though 10 torment the
anxious and nearly spent followers.
Finally it came to earth In a field of
grain, where the youthful aeronaut was
gently dropped. When his friends came
up he met them with a broad smile. A
triumphal procession was formed and the
boy was carried back home. There a
purse of 500 was raised to reward the
little fellow for his pluck.

ON CHRISTIAN ASSURANCE.
An Ohio Pastor Preaches on the
Strength Felt by the Believer

At the Fourth Presbyterian Church
yesterday the Rev. William B. Irwin. d.
D., of SteubenvIlle. Ohio. preached an
interesting sermon on Christian Assur-
ance" He took for his text II Timothy.
i12: Il know whom l have believed"
DR.. Irwin said. in part.
Calm assurance is the normal condi-
ton of the true believer. All this mod
ern doubt and uncertainty is completely
and clearly nothing else but a falsehood
of Satan. Many of these unfruitful, care
less, worldly-minded professors, who.
alas, are so easy in their uncertainty
have, as is most probable, never had
any discriminating view of that to which
they are called by the gospel Of Christ.
II is misty hazy thing to them. What
they need to experience, and what God
insists upon their experiencing, is some
thing of the clearest and most convincing
character. The greater part of what
Christians have written in the diaries
and journals which have been preserved
TO us is an account Of their vain efforts
to find comfort in their own feelings and
attainments.
Two hundred years ago, an eminent
servant of God. recalling the commence
ment of his religious life, said; I rose
like wave tossed by the winds, never
came TO any settlement. At length /
saw that God required no other thing
than to be content with what Christ
had done. and that thus content ! had
no need TO doubt When 1 came to see
