An EmbezzIer.

Rumor has it that the
Dancing Master Hepburn got
away with several hundred
dollars, and every day itislearn-
ed that he secured more and
more. He represented the F. W.
Peterson Piano and Music Co. in
Minot for sometime, and as their
agent collected a large amount
of money which he took with
him. This makes him guilty OF
embezzlement and if caught, he
will no doubt get a long term at
Bismarck. The fellow is evil
IDENTIFY stopping in some large
city and no doubt is teaching
the art of dancing. 1t seems
that it would be a comparative
~ easy matter to cause his ar
rest.

A Reliable Roofing Concern.

When j. L. Skrivseth, the
photographer, erected his
magnificent studio last fall,
the roofing was defective in every
particular, the contractor, it
is said, failing to live up to
the plans and specifications.
This spring Mr.. Skrivseth took
the matter up with the St. Paul
Roofing, Cornice & Ornament Co.,
explaining the true conditions,
and this reliable concern at once
replaced the roofing putting on a
coat of "Coat-Roid" which MIR.
Skrivseth says does the work
perfectly. The new roofing was
under the direction of the local
manager, Chas. Zetterstrand,
who is pronounced very fine
workman. Mr.. Whittbecker, the
Grand Forks manager of the con.
Germ, who recently visited Minot,
is a gentleman in every sense OF
the word, for thru his endea-
vors Mr.. Skrivseth has received
a ten years guarantee on this
roofing. This seems to us that
no proposition could be fairer.
Mr.. Skrivseth considers that it is
owing to his prompt actions,
that he has been saved the eX-
pense of having his building re-
plastered.

Lying in Bed

Avoid cramped position as
you go to sleep. If the base of
the brain, the spine or the chest
is especially tired, take the mid
die of the bed and place a pillow
under you perpendicularly, SO
that it reaches just below shoul-
der blades and the head hangs
over slightly at the top enough
to throw out the chin. Then throw
the arms out horizontally. This
expands the chest wonderfully,
and, in fact, recuperates all the
upper part of the body. When
the posture becomes irksome,
turn the pillow about at once and
assume the usual sleeping atti-
tude. Let all the muscles of the
body remain as passive as
possible.

A Jackson special says:
The resignation of Warden
Henry, of the penitentiary, SUBJ
mitted to the board of control at
yesterdays meeting. and after
wards withdrawn at the request
of four members of the board was
a lively subject of discussion
around the state house today.
One of the matters discussed
at the special meeting of the
board was the report of the set
tlement with H. j. McLaurip,
owner of Sandy Bayou, with
Warden j. j. Henri, which re-
port showed that S183 was paid
by McLaurin for convict labor at
70 cents per day, and $500 for
600 bushels of corn at 80 cents
per bushel. 1t seems that no re-
cord appears anywhere in the
inventory, or in the records of
the board of control, that there
was any corn raised on the Nc
Laurin place last year at all un-
til this report was made. Gov
ernor Vardaman objected to the
settlement and stated as the rea-
son for his objection that 70 cents
per day was less than II. j. Nc
Laurin is paying for the con-
victs this year by the year, an d
that the state is now paying 73
cents per bushel for corn and has
been buying meal for the last
three or four years.
Governor Vardaman could not
understand why the Warden
should be permitted to sell Fl. j.
| McLaurin coin at so cents a
bushel when the state was buy
ing meal st 81 go per barrel and
corn at 73 cents per bushel. The
warden stated, when asked by
Governor Vardaman, that this
corn was sold to McLaurin last
fall, but it is a little bit singular,
said Governor Vardaman, that
the sales should not be reported
to the board of control until the
June meeting.

How to Break up . Cold.

that a severe cold can be completely
broken up in one or two days time. To
do this, however, prompt action il nee

are a dry, loud cough, a profuse watery
discharge from the nose. and thin,
white coating on the tongue. When
Chamberlain's cough remedy is taken
every hour on the first appearance of
these symptoms, it counteracts the ef-
feet of the cold and restores the system
to a healthy condition within day or
