talented Dickinson Girl.

Miss Jessie Messersmith returned Sun
day from St. Paul where she has been
studying music since December. OF her
song recital OF last Friday the St. Paul
papers give fattering comment.
Globe: 1t was an interesting young
singer that a few of Miss Alcott's friends
were invited to hear Friday morning
when Miss Jessie Messersmith, Dickin-
son, N. D., gave a song recital in Miss
Alcott's studio in the Chamber of Com
merce. Although she has teen studying
with Miss Alcott only since autumn,
Miss Messersmith presented her pro-
gram in a very creditable way, display
ing a pleasing soprano voice oflyric quail.
ty, a voice that promises a great deal in
depth OF feeling, as we'll as broadness of
range as the young singers years and
art approach maturity. There was vari-
ETY. enough in the short program to prove
that Miss Messersmith has unusual YER
satility. There was the "Mignon" song
first, then an impassioned bit of a love
song, two spring songs, Bemberg's
"Nymphs and Fauns" and Gounod's
"Divine Redeemer," sung in the rever-
entail spirit which the prayer demands.
An interesting personality, a strongly
dramatic temperament, gave interest to
Miss Messersmlth's singing. That she
made an especially pretty picture, tall,
slender, fair, prettily gowned in white,
added again to the pleasure of Friday
mornings recital. Miss. Georgia Telley,
the violinist, Mrs. A. B. Bishop, pianist,
assisted Miss Messersn,ith in her pro.
gram.
Dispatch: Miss Alcott presented a
talented pupil, Miss Jessie Messersmith,
Of Dickinson, n. D., in recital yesterday
afternoon. Miss Georgia Telley anc
Mrs. A. B. Bishop assisted. Miss Messer
smith, whose voice is a sweet light so
prano of charming quality, sang Arditi'!

Old Settlers. Picnic.

The old settlers OF Stark county had
ar ideal day Thursday for their .,ilEual
picnic at Gladstone. Alarge number Of
people went down from Dickinson and
trok The cornet band along.
Ate, luncheon in the grove the cleo
ton of officers took place. PRESIDED
VIM. Il. Powers presided and, ait r
prayer by J. S. Let's ard the r:ading ri
the minutes BY Secretary Cryne, the fol
lowing cllnie. IL officers WAS made:
Iresii~Lt-M. Is. Powers.
Vice president and Treasurer. l..
Sco6eld.
Secretary-G. S. Cryne.
Historian-T. S. Underhill.
Mr.. Cryne then read 4 valuable paper
on the importance of collections for a
museum of natural history for the Jul
ty. Extracts from the paper will be used
later.
Judge Campbell spoke briefly on the
prosperity of Stark county and the rapid
development from raw prairie to pros
porous cities, towns and farms.
Walter Sterland referred to the gov
eminent expeditions through this section
in the sixties and seventies, which he
and A. T.. Crowl SO we'll remember.
P. A. Willard followed, advising that
we seek to become a thinking and rea-
soning people. We have population
made up from nearly all nations and
with our common schools these diverse
elements become Americanized. We
should seek the greatest good to the
greatest number. MI. Willard consider
ed moderation, good judgment and
c.reful, discreet action.
President Powers thanked the people
for their presence and especially the
neighbors and friends who we're SO kind
to him during his long illness.
Throughout the exercises the music
by the band was an enjoyable feature.
The ball game was the closing feature
of the day and when the Gladstone play
ers found that the band boys had Ryan
and Hisey in the lineup they began tc
think that there was something to pay.
The score stood 20 to II in favor Of
Dickinson.

The Richards..Fowler Ranch.

Mandan Republican: North of Dick
inson about fifty miles is one of the little
beauty spots in the entire country. 1t is
Familiarity known out there as the Dia-
mond c ranch, and is owned by Mr.. w.
L. Richards, president of the Dakota
State bank in Dickinson, and MIR. Alex
Fowler, who lives on the ranch. In
travelling over the big prairie country to
the north of Dickinson n suddenly
comes to this place, and the monotony
and dead level OF the long ride from
almost any direction to reach it is at once
broken. There is a big spring of the
finest water in the world that comes out
of the rocks a little way back of the
house and is heard day and night rip
Shady oak grove. A commodious spring
house is built so that the water flows
through it, and lately these men have
constructed a large dam across the minia-
ture canyon below the spring house to
hold an immense reservoir OF water.
They have lately placed a few thousand
brook trout in the pond. Below the dam
is placed a hydrolic ram, through which
the overflow water passes, forcing the
water back up the hill to the residence,
where it is made use OF for all sorts of
purposes. A pleasing object just now
at the ranch is a fine irrigated strawberry
bed. This ranch is worth going a long
way to see, and also to see the most per-
feet herd Of Hereford cattle in the state.
There are numberless places all over the
country that might easily be made very
attractive with a little we'll directed
effort.

Beef Values Still Soaring.

Rappal Bros. & Co: Prime beef on
the hoof made a new seasons record at
$3.50 last Monday, and 7-cent cattle will
undoubtedly make their initial appear
ance in a short time. Beef values ad-
vanced I5c to 25c this week, and 6.cent
steers were plentiful, whole droves 60
ing over the scales at that figure. Bulk
of good beeves sold at a range of $3.50
to $500, with multitudes of loads around
$3.50.
The inferior quality Of the weeks re.
ceipts indicate that the middie.western
country is evidently in a hurry to clean
up its stock of scrub beef fearing an
early invasion Of choice, fat range stock.
In this connection, We would again call
the attention Of rangers in general to the
all important fact Of marketing their cat.
tie immediately upon their becoming
well-fnished for the early market fol-
western beef will be. and Away is, from
soc to $500 higher than later on in the
season when receipts are heavy and
prices gradually declining.

DICKINSON DEFEATED BISMARCK Z to )
FIRST DAY.
Mondays Game on Bismarck Diamond Was
Disastrous for Our Boys. The Games
Now Stand Two and Two and it Will
REQUIRE the Fifth to Decide Who
Ara the ChamDiOnS.


MONDAYS Tribune: The first game Of
the season went to Brodie's cowpunchers,
on the local diamond yesterday. Fail
ure on the part of Elstone's colts to con.
meet with the ball at the right time and
a fatal bunch of errors in the seventh
inning we're mainly responsible for the
result.
Harris pitched a good game for the
visitors holding the locals to four hits.
The Tribune also says that Heisy's
long running catches in center field were
a feature of the game, he retiring the
side alone one inning; but nothing is said
about Ryan's putting the ball over the
fence.
Dickinson won the game 7 to ; and
those who Witnessed the play from here
pronounced the work of our team as fine
as is often seen anywhere.
Bismarck did not score until the 9TH
inning and had it not been for errors our
boys would have shut them out.
On Monday our team seemed to be out
all around and got but three runs while
the Bismarckers were getting IL. Nor
ris pitched for a while and then Ronish
took a;hand but it was no use; the bate
~ was not good enough for Bismarck.
In commenting on the game the Tri-
bune said: 1t certainly was a reaction
for the locals and even looked as though
it was a thrown game, the way the scores
came in for Elston's colts and the SEEM
ing attitude on the part of the visitors,
who started in we'll enough.

"Religfous' Enterprises.

Abbeville has engaged in many lines Of &C
tivity. In some Instances the result has
proved the wisdom OF the undertaking, but
In other instances the unwisdom has been
too apparent.
Following. the example Of the Religious
advertising agency at Clinton, might 1t not
be we'll for Abbeville to inaugurate some
religious secular enterprise? There is
hardly room for @ religious advertising
agency, but we might have a religious beef
market, a religious" barber shop, a ere.
iigious' printing office, a religious" store. a
religious eating house, or a religious" drug
store. II religion should be incorporated
into a religious" eating house. we need moi
have fears Of finding buttons in the hash, OF
ugly hairs in the butter. II we had a ere
ligious" printing office. only the most exem'
plary Sunday school scholars would be EN-.
ployed. II We had a religious" beef market
the keeper Of the same would be satisfied
with small profits. II his religious custo-
mers could be induced to pay their bills. Il
these religious" institutions did not become
close corporations, from which ordinary NOR.
tnls were excluded great good would result.
Religious" Is a good word with which tc
c~opjure innocent gudgeons.

MORE FLAGPOLES THAN EVER.
Growing Disposition Among the Pee
pie to Show Their CoIors.

Growing Disposition Among h PEG
pie to Show Their CoIors.
"%Flagpoles," said q man who makes
them. ARE the pick Of the forest whence
they come. Up to GO feet in length, and
this would include the great majority,
they are commonly Of spruce; ~flagpoles
more than 60 feet long are of pine.
THE spruce poles come from New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The pine
poles come from northern New York and
| Michigan.
"Up to so feet in length and a so foot
staff would be counted q good, big staff.
Flagpoles cost, all set up, truck on the
top and halyards rove, ready to bend on
the flag, from 81 to $1.2o a foot. The
| cost depends somewhat on the pole and
somewhat on the situation, the latter
question involving the difficulties attend
ing setting the pole up. Longer poles
cost proportionately more. A 70 foot
pole might cost, set up ready for use,
$3.50. Flagpoles for buildings are some
times made up to so feet in length, but
not often.
"a so foot pole of the usual proper
lions, which would be 10 inches In d.
ameter at the butt and 4 inches at the
top, would weigh about $50 pounds. a
Is foot pole would weigh about 1,5OO
pounds, so that when you put up a pole
Of that size you would be standing upon
one end q weight Of three-quarters OF a
ton.
"Of course the fagpole must be secure
~ set up. There are two ways OF mount
ing a fagpole. One is to step it, running
the lower end of the pole through the
roof as you would run a mast through the
deck of a boat. The other way is to set
the butt Of the pole in q shoe placed on
the roof. The very tallest poles are al
ways stepped through the roof.
"a good fagpole, properly put up and
properly cared for, is long lived. 1t might
wear as long as the building on which it
was placed. A fagpole really ought to be
painted every year. Flagpole painting is
done by the riggers employed by fagpole
makers, by steeple climbers, by men who
make a business Of it, who go about seek
Ing fagpoles to paint. To have a flag
pole carefully and properly painted costs,
according to the size Of the pole, So to
$40.
"Flagpoles are made nowadays rather
longer, if anything, than formerly. Their
greater length is to make them more
nearly proportionate to the higher build
ings.
'There are now sold more iagstafs
than ever before in proportion to the pop
ulation. The law requiring the flying of
the flag from schoolhouses has increased
the actual number Of poles, and the pres
encc Of those poles and the flying of the
flag from them has prompted the raising
Of other poles. l think also that people
are more likely now to put up fagpoles
than they formerly were; anyway, that
they have more disposition now than ever
to show their colors."-New York SUM-.
