ADVERTISING A TOWN.
oOCsal Plan Adopted by "a Widenvvake
Board of Trade.

A town located not far from st.
Louis has probably made greater gains
in wealth and population during tie
past FIVE years than any town of its
size in Missouri. The reason is not far
to seek. The energetic people who
comprise its inhabitants have neglected
no opportunity to further its prosperity
and have worked in unison to accom-
hlish the desired end. They knew their
town was well located and possessed
many natural advantages and decided
to acQuaiEt the outside world with
these facts.
A wideawake board of trade was or.
ganized, and the work of booming and
building up the town begun. Since then
the place has been transformed. Bet.
ter schools have been built, the streets
are kept clean and in good repair, good
roads have been laid. and there are few
healthier or prettier towns in the cOun
try.
One of the methods employed by this
towns board of trade may be used In
any community with certainty of
good results. 1t is called the envelope
method The board had envelopes
printed. on the back of which the
points Of excellence of TIE town were
advertised These were furnished to
the business men, with their business
card added. at a merely nominal cost.
The scheme proved very successful and
brought business and desirable resi-
dents to the town.
A town may be well located and pos
sess valuable water power or other
commercial and manufacturing advan-
tages, but If these desirable conditions
are known only to the dweliers therein
they are not likely to be taken full ad-
vantage Of. So thought the board Of
trade of this town, and with it to think
was to act, and to the ready wit and
energetic action of this organization is
due much of the increase In population
and industry which has come to the
place.

THE FORMAN MURDER.
Detail Of the Finding Of the Body Of
Man Murdered at Forman.

Oetd'' OF tne TInoin9 OF the BODY OF
Man Murdered at Forman.
The following from the Minor Tel
Ter gives details of the murder OF
Frank Carr, for the arrest of whose
murderer, alleged to be man named
Sherman Wens, sheriff Jones of Sar
gent county. obtained requisitior
from the governor Saturday:
Fcrman people were greatly shocked
Sunday evening upon learning of the
news of the finding of the body of a
man in the refuse in the rear of a Mr.
COvey's barn at that place. and the
remains show, unQuestionably, that
murder was committed. Upon a thor.
ough investigation the following day
the weapon which did the deed in the
hands Of the murderer-that of a
stove leg-was found near the body,
covered with blood and hair Death

skull in two places, showing that the
victim was struck twice. The stove
leg exactly fitted into the intentions
in the skull and showed conclusively
that the stove leg was the cause of
relatives as that of Frank Carr, who
was in the butcher business in For
man, and who was a son of Mrs. Isaac
Bowling. of Minor.
Carr disappeared one night about
Nov. %, and for time it was thought
that he had met with foul play; but
as the days passed reports of Carr hav.
ing been seen at various places resulted
in a general belief that he had left
home. One strange feature of his dis
appearance at that time was the fact
that he left his coat, overcoat and hat
in the barn, and was one of the rea
sons why foul play was suspected
Further Investigations as to his dis
| appearance at that time might have
| resulted in finding the body as the
| barn in question was used last fall
for time, as the rendezvous for {
number of men. where gambling an(
drinking was carried on. The body
of course, has lain there all winter
and perhaps would not have been dis
covered for some time yet. had it no
been that the wind had partially blown
the covering from off his feet, whicl
! resulted in the discovery.

500 RAILROAD RUMORS.
st. Paul Railroad Men Do Not Look
For Another Transcontinental Line.


Minneapolis Times: ST Paul rail
road men are not inclined to the belief
that the building operations of the
500 road are but preliminary to gen.
eral extension of the line, so as to
form third northern transcontinental
line, reaching from the twin cities tC
the Pacific coast.
The theory was advanced few days
ago that unless the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific kept out of the
Canadian Northwest territory the Soc
would retaliate by building another
American line to the coast This idea
is secuted in st. Paul, however
They argue that the 500 and Cana
dian Pacific are SO close in their rela
tions that they are practically one line
and that all that a new line can ac
compish can be done by bringing
transcontinental traffic through the
twin cities
They view the building operations
of the 500 as but part of the general
move by all lines to build feeding
lines, and thus insure a stable amount
of lucrative business.
The extension of the Bismarck,
Washburn & Great Falls, it is ad-
mitted may lead to short cut from
the twin cities to the Canadian Pacific,
and at the same time open up valuable
territory that contributes much. after
little development, to the traffic Of
the 500 road
The Glenwood extension is generally
considered as another feeder. Exten-
tending northward as it does. it opens
up valuable tract of territory, whose
railway accommodations are at pres
ent inadequate, and gives the 500 an
opportunity to tap the Red River val
ley traffic, which is at present handled
almost entirely by the Great Northern
| and Northern Pacific.

FIRST PICTURE BOOK.
The Daring Iden First Conceived BY
Johann COmenius.

Three hundred years ago German
savant had a wonderful vision. At that
time children were taught to read by
force of arms. so to speak. through
hardships and with bitter toll on the
part of teacher and of child 1t seems
curious that the first real step toward
tightening the labor of children as
they climb the ladder of learning was
the product of the imagination not Of
some fond mother or gentlewoman
teacher. but of bewigged and beti-
tied university doctor.
1t was Johann COmenius. however.
who first conceived the daring idea
that children could be taught by the
aid of the memory and the imagina-
ton working together. "by means" as
he quantity expressed it, ''Of sensuOus
Impressions conveyed to the eye. 90
that visual objects may be made the
medium of expressing moral lessons to
the Young mind and of impressing
those lessons upon the memory. In
other words the good Herr Doctor had
the bright idea that picture books could
be useful to children. COmenius made
his first picture book and called 1t the
"Orbis Pictus." 1t contains rude wood
cuts representing objects in the nat
ural world, as trees and animals. with
little lessons about the pictures. 1t is
a quaint volume and one that would
cause the average modern child not q
little astonishment were it placed be-
fore him.
AS truly. however, as that term may
be applied to any other book that has
since been written, the "Orbis Pictus'
was an epoch making book. 1t Is the
precursor of all children's picture
books, and modern childhood has great
cause to bless the name Of COmenius.-

About Trees and Rainfall.

President Worst: John c. Witherow
OF Crooks Valley, N. d., through The
Bismarck Tribune, requests proof that
tree planting on the high table lands
of North Dakota will produce rainfall.
l think if Mr.. Witherow will examine
authorities that he will find it is al
most unanimously conceded that trees
growing in bodies contribute to the
humidity of the atmosphere in various
ways and while it is not claimed SO
directly that they increase the annual
amount of rainfall, the tendency is,
however. to distribute 1t more evenly
throughout the summer. Instead Of
tremendous downpours of rain at
times of droughts, the showers are
more frequent. l will try and find
time within week to answer Mr..
Witherow more fully, as his query is
a pertinent one. In the mean time
trust that every citizen OF the state
will plant trees. 1t will pay tremen-
dous dividends should we be unable
TO prove mathematically that trees in
crease the rainfall, even II the con-
sensus Of opinion Of men who have
given the matter large attention in
many countries, lis in favor OF the pro-
position. Plant trees right away and
plant them in plenty and we will try
our best to prove their effect upon
rainfall later.
