Great lronmaster Gives Advice TO
Millionaires How TO Get
Rid Of Wealth.
INDlvIDUALIsM EVERYTHING
Speaks At Memorial Meeting In
Honor of Peter Cooper,
Founder OF Cooper's
Union.

New York. March 9.--Advice to mil
lionaires as to how TO rid themselves
Of their surplus wealth has been given
by Andrew Carnegie at a memorial
meeting In honor Of Peter Cooper,
founder Of Cooper Union.
"one must always honor the pioneers
OF humanity" said the ironmaster. 1T
is not TO the millions or by the mil
lions that the greatest advances are
won. It is to be individual that we
owe the divine impulse.
"The distribution of wealth is the
greatest problem OF the age. ! care
not how great an individualist a man
may be. he must realize that the prob
lem must first find solution. No man
has better reason than myself to know
how great are the inequalities In the
distribution Of wealth. The world will
make no progress except under that
law Of Christ, that man may reap as
he sows. 1t Is written that man must
work out his own destiny under his own
vine and fig tree.
mo revolution ever did much or any
good In this world; no true evolution
ever failed to do anything but good. j
would not wish to be understood as
putting down life as mere pursuit Of
money. / think that man who has
entered any profession is working for
the advancement Of the race. The sue
cessful captain Of industry is not on
that low type who seeks the boarding
Of dollars as his life work. The money
which reaches beyond his wants he
seeks 10 find use for In the bettering
OF others.
"We hear great deal about foreign
missions. Peter Cooper founded home
mission. He first pointed the way
which some day all the miilionaires
win follow. He proclaimed that prfn-
ciple that surplus wealth Is sacred
trust which those who have must ex-
ercise In his lifetime for the good Of
the community from whence IT came"

Large and Prosperou. Family

Adam Lefor, ST., and his wife left
Gladstone on Sunday, the goth inst, for
a short visit to their old home, Ernesc
thasa, Torantal Co, Hungary. .
The history OF Mr.. Lefor's life in the
Time since he left Hungary II years ago,
reads like a fairy tale.
MIR. Lefor is o! French extraction, his
great grandfather having emigrated to
Hungary in 700. MIR. Lefor married
Miss Mary Kungle in 1866. She has
horne him nine sons and five daughters,
six sons and three daughters of whom
are living. all in Stark county, North
Dakota. All but two reside in the same
township as the father. Adam Lefor, Jr.,
lives in the village of Gladstone and a
q Laughter. Mrs. George Wagner, in
Dickinson.
The first to come to this country was
Joseph, the second son, six months
before the rrst o! the family; Frank, the
only one married in Hungary, came
next. two months before the rest of the
family.
All but two of the family, Dominic
and Anna, are o married. The grand
children runhcr pine.
The phenomenal financial success
since coming to this country is most
astonishing, in view of the fact that Mr..
l.efor had remaining but $50 when he
arrived at Richardton in 1903. Mr.. Le-
for moved to his present home in 1907.
A conservative estimate of Mr.. Lefor's
iamily's winnings, since coming to this
country, is rot less than $4,000.
A reception was held at the home of
Adam Lefor, Jr, in Gladstone, Nov.
18th, to give all who wished a chance to
bid good bye to a we'll loved and re.
spected couple.

atterward they returned to the spot
where Carrots body hal been lett, and

crime, but the body was found. as they
only covered it with about six inches Of
earth, and soon afterward Otto Erickson
made a confession and is now held in
custody.-Billings County Republican.

Discovery Of Anthracite Coal.

Anthracite coal was first discovered in
1901. and during the same year the bust
ness of marketing this new commodity
was started. Today it represents an
industry of wonderful proportions. 1t
was in 1853 that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters was first introduced to the public,
and because it contained true merit has
progressed so rapidly that for many
years it has occupied the first rank as a
family medicine. 1t positively cures
sick headache, heartburn, indigestion,
dyspepsia, constipation, biliousness, kid
ney ills, chills, colds and malaria. We
urge all sickly men and women to try it
for it is well deserving of a fair trial.
