The new dining room at the Mer.
chants has been completed and is
now being used. Manager Hart
is getting things in shape and is
enjoying a good patronage. The
old dining room will be remode]ed
and divided into extra rooms. Thu
two hotels in town have been taxed
to their utmost capacity and from
the outlook there promises to be q
good run Of trade. The Washburn
under the management of Paul
Charebois enjoys an increased pat
ronage which he is Justly entitled.
David Rohrer, a prominent dis
tiller of Germantown, O., has writ
ten to j. j. jackson, of Bismarck,
to send him a carload of potatoes.
He makes the statement that he
never saw better tubers than those
received from Burleigh county last
year. Mr.. Rohrer has considera-
BILE money invested in this county,
and also in Mclean. He writes
that the potato crop in Ohio is very
small, and the price for the poor
quality IS high.

William Peterson, Florence Shell
don, Ragner Ekstrom and Ruth
Nelson were absentees from the
Grammar Department this week.
Clarence Wallin is quite i'll with
the whooping cough, as is also
William Peterson.
Probably some'o of the parents are
not aware of the fine they are liza
BILE to-for not sending children
of school age to school. You had
better look it up and profit thereby.
Jennie Peterson is back again
after nearly a weeks absence.
Nellie Stockdale attended school
but four days in a month. How
much progress can pupils be ex-
pected to make when they only go
four days out of twenty?
Mamie Casey and Edwin Casey
are new pupils in the Primary De-
.artment.
The departments are rapidly fill
ing with pupils and if parents donot
compel regular attendance we shall
be obliged to drop out those who
do not attend regularly to make
room for the more prompt and am
bilious ones.

ELLIS.

Mrs. Ellis has contracted a Sc.

covery.
Mrs. Hotchkiss has had quite g
sick spell. We are glad to be able
to report that she is improving.
Mrs. Miner has been on the sick
list but is again restored.
Threshing is in progress. The

pointing.
Ellis is to have a house of wor-
ship. Preparations are being made
to build at once. Neighoors, friends
everybody, help us push the good
enterprise!
Cemetery Association has been
organized, and the work Of laying
ing out a cemetery one-half mile
from Congregational church site
is about to begin. This is another
step forward in the right direction.
Our people are also getting inter:
ested in better school houses and
better schools and more of them.
Legal roads or highways and
their improvement is gaining pop.
u'ar interest, and our determine
ton is not to be left behind in
ANYTHING that is worth having.

More Goa; Development.

Editor Armstrong, of Sioux City,
Iowa, was a pleasant caller on The
LEADER Thursday, on his way to
Coal Harbor where he is interested
in a Ignite coal mine.
MI. Armstrong informs us that
arrangements are being perfected
to ship the coal by boat to Sioux
City, and stated that the cost of
river transportation would only be
so cents a ton. Coal is selling in
his home town at $50 per ton. This
leaves a handsome margin in favor
of the Ignite and would give en-
ployment toa number Of boats and
establish river communications
with southern points. The mine
is located along the bluffs of the
Missouri river, and can be loaded
direct from the mine to the boats.
MI Armstrong will spend several
days looking over the neighbor-
hood and as he has a camera along
intends to take a number of views
for an extended wrlte-up of the
|country and the coal.

A True Story

Mr.. G. w. Morley, of Seattle, was trou.
bled for ten years with catarrh of the
head and bronchial tubes.A The dis
charge of mucus was so profuse as to
necessitate his sitting up in bed at night
to prevent strangulation. AS is always
the case where there is dropping down
of the mucus behind the palate, ca
Mrrhal condition of the stomach pre-
vailed and in Consequence the whole
system was rundown. On advice of a
3riend he undertook the complete Mac
kenzie treatment for catarrh. He says
now, more thana year since commence
ang, that he is entirely free from colds;
that the nasal passage and throat are
free from catarrhal discharges; that his
stomach and digestion .arerin better
condition than for. years. In fact, he
says he is a wellman and attributes his
good fortune to the Mackenzie Method.
What is this "MethOd?" 1t is simply the
Ddouble treatment of catarrh locally and
internally. While the system is reno,
.vate1 and toned;and the poison in the
blood eliminated, the original point of
infection, namely, the nasal passage
and throat. is cured and the source of
the blood contamination removed.

FOR THE CHILDREN
Z The Short Story

"Just a short one, Uncle vance-a
weenty, ,teenty short one,"i coaxed the
children. And Uncle Vance laughed.
"Well, then, just short one, chicks"
be said. "Once there was short boy
who wore very short trousers indeed.
He belonged to the Short family, and
everybody called him Shorty for
short. He went a short distance to
school, and, dear me, how fond he was
Of his pretty, short teacher! l expect
that was because she gave him, short
lessons and held only short sessions of
school,! :! u
Shorty liked short things-you see,
it ran in the sShort family-unless it
was something to eat. He didn't like
short pieces of shortcake. He was
very fond of shortcake. Sometimes he
couldn't tell which he liked best-that
or his pretty. short teacher.
Zone day, short time after this
short story "opens, something happen7
ed Little Shorty missed word in his
spelling class. He couldn't spell short
All the other short boys laughed, but
Shorty cried.
"'You must stay in at recess, am
afraid the teacher said shortly. Short
boys must study their lessons. There is
no short cut to knowledge
"Poor little Shorty! He was short
oh ho nhon nj nd
were short of substitutes. What would
they do without him? There was a
short shower, and then shortly it clear
ed off. "
"I won't cry Shorty said. I'll learn
to spell short. guess. that's the short
est way OUT And it was. So the
trouble was short lived, for Shorty was
not short witted. That was not one
of his shortcomings. In short, he could
spell even a short word if he set about
it. So in short order he was out short
stopping grounder from the Shortest
Boy Of ALPS bat. 1t takes boy who
is not short winded to play baseball,
you know, and Shorty could run as cas-
lily as deer. But he was shortsighted.
That was drawback.
when Shorty got home from school
that night, Grandmother Short was
just shortening a batch Of doughnuts,
and Mamma Short was giving Big Sis
ter Short her lesson in shorthand.
There was nobody to amuse him, so he
decided to go up stairs and amuse the
