YOUNG SHARPER
PASSES CHECK
Given to John Schill in Payment
For Shoes.
The Fist Nationai Bank Cashes the Check
Which Is signed "B. A. stevens''-
Young Man Quits Town.

Otto Lawrenz, young man who has
been employed on the Stevens ranch
at Clement for the past month, got
several people in Oakes in a peck of
trouble Monday afternoon. Unknown
to his employer he left the farm and
walked to Oakes, distance of nine
miles. Apparently he did not think his
footwear good enough, and he entered
the store Of John Schil to get new
pair Of shoes. John was in the country
at the time and his good wife, as is her
wont, waited on the customer. He
got just what he wanted at $3.50, and
handed in payment check for SAL on
the First National Bank and signed
.'B. A. Stevens, /" properly endorsing it
with his own signature. Mrs. Schill
questioned the check and sent her little
girl to the bank to see if it was O. K.
The young man accompanied the girl to
the bank. Cashier Newton said he
would cash the check upon the proper
endorsement. The daughter endorsed
the fathers name on the check at the
store, took it back, got it cashed, and
the purchaser was given his change.
This occurred in the afternoon between
three and four O'Clock. The young
man took the 500 for Minneapolis the
same evening.
The next morning Mr.. Stevens came
to Oakes to see about his man. He
discovered that some blank checks had
been torn from his book, and on maxi
ing an investigation found the check
drawn on his account ut the bank. He
pronounced it = forgery, as he had
signed no such paper. The check was
drawn with common lead penciland is
said to be . fair imitation.
Mr.. Schill says he has his money and
it is q matter for the bank and Stevens
to fight out, but the bank is again pro-
tected by Schill's endorsement. Nothing
has been done to bring Lawrenz to
justice, as Schill refused to swear out a
warrant for his arrest. Lawrenz 8

new HOSPITAL
ABOUT FINISHED
A Modern Building in All Of Its
Appointments
Dr. Il. P. Boardman To Be Given Much Credit
for Establishing and EquipPins Such
IN Institution in Oakes.

The new hospital of DR.. Boardman is
nearing completion. The Republican
man made visit to the building the
first of the week and found that the
plasterers were fast finishing their
work. The carpenters had just COM
menced to put on the finishing touches.
The building is a splendid structure
of three stories. It is 32x6O feet, the
first two stories being of concrete
blocks and the upper being a mansard
roof with dormer windows. The floors
are all laid of oak. The lower floor,
which is a high basement will be used
for domestic purposes-kitchen, dining
rooms. laundry, heating plant, etc.
On the southeast corner of the second
floor is the large reception room, and to
the north of this is the doctor business
Office. Ten wards are on this floor.
Above the reception room and busi-
ness Office is the large operating room,
drug room and laboratory. Special care
has been taken to provide the operating
room with the best of light and this is
done with large bay window and sky
light. Ten rooms for patients are also
on this floor.
The building is supplied with an ele-
vator-for raising and lowering patients
or guests. It is the first of this kind
in Oakes.
The hospital will be nicely furnished,
modern and complete equipments being
supplied in all it's branches. The old
hospital has far out-grown the business
and the doctor is waiting anxiously for
the time when he can have the more
room and the better equipment. And
he will soon have it.

At the same time its age, as I have
said, can not be less than fifty million
years and is more likely five hundred

That the material composing the
moon was torn away from the surface
of the earth we are well assured by
what We certainly know concerning
the moons density. The density of the
whole earth is five and one-half times
greater than that of water. The
density of the surface of the earth
as we now know it is about two and
one half; so that the density of the
central regions must be much higher.

HAVE YOU MATING
ON YOUR FLOORS?

If you have used it for any length
of time you no doubt feel that mat
ting is not exactly the cleanIiest or
healthiest thing you could use. Damp
air often makes the odor of mating
unpleasant. And Mating is so widely
used that to have it on your floors
makes them look common. From an
Eastern manufacturer we have secured
a substitute for mating. It does no.
cost much more to put down than mat
ting and makes your rooms look cosy
and comfortable. Tt will wear and look
well longer than mating and unless

Short. Goats LONG

That the short skirt has steadily
gained in popularity no careful OBJ
server can deny, and to-day any frock
designed for walking, whether in morn
ing or afternoon. is made with a skirt
to clear. although the carriage gown
still retains its graceful round length
and the house and evening frocks are
either round or show an inclination
towards a revival of the narrow train.
There has been such improvement in
the cutting and hanging OF the walk

ward, unbecOming thing it was. and
Though to some wOmon-particular
those overburdened with avoirdupois
and those who have not length Of

unfortunate one to sacrifice comfort to
grace, when all her sisters are trotting
about in comfortable skirts.

Dainty accessories

Undoubtedly the most popular en-
broidery of the year is the effective
"broderie Anglaise," which is applied
lavishly TO waists and gowns as well
as to collars. For the girl who can
have only one or. at the most, TWO
dressy frocks, the beautiful collar
shown on this page offers a practical
way out of such restrictions, for this
collar is a dressy adjunct TO any toilet.
When made of white linen and embroi-
dered all in white, the collar can be
worn with a dress Of any color.
A dainty woman will have all her
belongings as finished and trim as pos
sible, and not the least of these are
the dress protectors. In all her thin
gowns she uses the small size shields,
and puts a scant rume of narrow VAL
enciennes lace around the edges.
Now that kid belts are so popular,
the girl who has to count her pennies
as wen as her blessings, can utilize
the tops of long-wristed gloves to
make very satisfactory ones. Espe-
cially desirable TO wear with summer
gowns are those made of white and
light tinted, undressed kid. Fancy cut
beads or sequins grouped into conven-
tional designs will cover the joinings
as well as embellish the belt.-The

The Girl Graduate

The sweet girl graduate (to be) is
now busiy engaged upon her June
gown. She may never have used a nee
die before in her life, but hand-worlS
is the present fad-there is something
about doing these things ones self that
adds much to the charm of hand-work
on a dress-and she must needs at
tempt it. There are many stitches
that even the inexperienced find sim
pie.
Many are utilizing the embroidered
Swiss for this purpose, and from the
dots countless designs may be devised
with daisy feather or cross-stitch
patterns, using rope silk. The embroi-
derry is much handsomer when it has
as a basis the raised dot instead of
the fiat dot. The dots are three
eighths of an inch in diameter, being
the largest size considered fashionable
for dress materials. From this size
they range all the way down to a mere
pinhead. Eyelet embroidery is soon
learned and most effective when fin
ished which is very encouraging to
beginners.
There is no more economical way to
trim a suit or gown than with ones
own hand work, for trimmings, be they

The seal of fashion has been set on
embroidery. and cotton fabrics as well
as the more expensive materials are
thus embellished. Not only skirts and
blouses are beautifully embroidered,
but parasols and hats likewise.
Many of the best dressmakers cut
the all-over English embroidery into
insertions. and combine it with plain
materials, thus it costs much less than
when purchased by the yard as inser-
tion.
All summer outfits include a gown Of
white organdy, which is prettier than
ever. and gives one a youthful appear
ance. For these gowns, lace fichus and
bertha collars are especially well suit
ed. The fichus of all-over laces, ruff
fled with lace, and those of dotted null
may be draped gracefully with the
short ends tucked in under a bow or
rosette. allowing a free line for the
belt. Most of the organdy frocks have
sleeves Of elbow length. Three puffs
are given the preference, with double
lace rufiies hanging over the elbows.
