In a Woman's Power.

The greatest Of all last seasons
melodramatic successes was undoubted-
ly that of elm A Woman's Power"
So far this season it has been repeating
its last years success. The theatres
are crowded nightly and the box Office
receipts again prove the wonderful
drawing powers of this great dramatic
play. There is something so sensation
al and yet realistic about the play that
one is held spellbound from the rise un-
til the fall of the curtain. It pleases
both sexes and all classes of people for
it is an American play, by an American
author, and written for the melodramat-
ic loving public. It would require too
much space to tell of all the good things
in ''In a Woman's Power" The play
is in five acts and the dialogue is bright,
witty and full Of comedy, and every
actor has been especially engaged for
his or her respective part. It will be
given perfect production in this city
at the Oakes opera house, Friday, Oct.
26th.

Burglary at Glendale.

Some one broke into the hardware
store of N. H. Bjornstad at Glendale
Thursday night and stole about 500
revolver cartridges, about 800 12-gauge
Peters shells, about 18 pocket knives,
and two revolvers. Cards were at
once printed and distributed and in
formation from Forbes pointed to a
young man who had been shooting
promiscuously around that place.
Sheriff Drew went out and arrested
him Saturday and he proved to be Will
liam Hollan, who has been student
of the Manual Training School. Quite
a little of the stolen property was found
in his possession, and at the preliminary
hearing Monday Hollan was bound over
to the next term of district court.
The boy is but 10 years of age and is
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Hollan of
Merricourt. He claims to be the victim
of holdup artists who forced, him to
take the stolen property and who
threatened to shoot him if he "peeped. -
His folks are well-to-do, among the
best fixed financially of the county and
what possessed the boy to steal is
question. He has heretofore borne an
excellent reputation and the citizens of
Glendale believe he was not alone in
the burglary act. Bail was furnished.
The charge was burglary and the
case looks bad for the young man.

THE PERKINS HOME LETTERS
Fremont, Monday Evening.
Copyright, 1905. by the Sunday School Times
Company and reprinted by permission.

CTeWOHL, MOnUay Evening.
Dear Mother: When first read over
the lesson about the ten virgins didn't
see much connected between what was
said there and the question of raising
three children and being a good and
helpful wife to Tom. l expect that's a
queer way to look at lesson from the
Bible, but after all, mother, the child
rem and Tom and the household duties
seem to be about enough to demand all
my time. Some folks spend lot of
time thinking about heaven, and what
they will do there; but I've had no.
.tion that somehow the heavenly life
begins right down here for a true
Christian, and I've always wanted to
do my part to make our home just a
bit heavenly for us all. So l rather
looked at this lesson as being for folks
who were about to die and hadn't got
ready to meet God.
But, mother, it's a bigger lesson
than that. I see it now, though I'm
sure l don't see it all. It isn't so much
lesson for people who are dying as
those who are living. Why, all ten
were virgins, and I guess they dressed
pretty much alike for this ceremony,
and all carried lamps. l guess anybody
looking on couldn't have told any diff
ference in them when they first started
out. But when the test came there
was only one thing that separated them
Unto groups-five of them had empty
lamps. There was only one thing they
lacked, and that was the needful thing.
Somehow it seems to be one of Christi s
ways to tell us that just getting into
the church procession isn't enough to
fit us to meet God. It seems like a
prophecy of the time when the men,
bers Of the earthly church shall pass on
to heaven; to human eyes they may all
look alike, but God can see the empty
lamps.
So. after all, it's lesson for me to-
day, for I'm to be ready for Jesus and
I don't know the day or the hour. And
while I surely want to be ready for him
when I'm called into his presence at
the end of life, I long for better read
mess than that. I want to be ready
for him to abide with me, day and
hour, right here in my own life. 1
Saon't leave the filling ofmy lamps in
the house here until all my work is
done, and the dusk is gathering.
Neither do want to put aside the fill
ing of my spiritual lamp until thou
sand and one earthly cares have crowded
out the thought of my Saviour, and the
darkness gathers. Something's got to
be first in my life, and it isn't going to
be the things that cease when I die.
Your loving daughter.
Martha.

BY OWN
THRESHING RIG
George Stephenson Meets Death
In Fearful Manner
Caught in Pulley Of Separator While OilinS
Machine-SkuIl Crushed and Death
Comes Following Day.

George Stephenson, of Guelph, is
dead as result of an awful accident
near his own place last Friday. The
separator was running at full speed and
in attempting to oil some bearings near
the big belt the sleeve of his shirt OF
jacket was caught in the machinery,
his right arm broken in three places,
and his skull fractured by the violent
throw he received from the pulleys.
The crew was busy at work and did
not realize what had happened until it
was all over. The accident was Wit
messed by only one of the crew. The
injured man was removed in an uncon-
scious condition to his home and the
doctors from Oakes and Glendale sum-
moned. DIR. Boardman went down
from Oakes. The unfortunate man
passed away Saturday night without
gaining consciousness.
George Stephenson came to this
county from Canada and was among
the early settlers. He was first q
resident of Ada township but had
moved to the town of Port Emma,
where he had a fine farm. Each fall he
has operated his own threshing rig and
had become so accustomed to being
around a separator that he thought,
perhaps, there was no guile in it. He
was hard working, Industrious citizen
and from a mere nothing, when he
came here in the way of financial means,
he had amassed nice competence and
it is said could show up in the five figure
class of Dickey county farmers. He
was about 43 years of age and mar
ried; no children.
The funeral was held Tuesday, inter-
ment being made in the Glendale
cemetery.

SUMMONS CAME
AND HE OBEYED
Soul Of Roy A. Dennins Passes to
Him Who Gave Il.
Was Taken III In heHinssr County While En-.
gagged In the Master, Service-Death Due
to Ravases Of Typhoid Fever.

The Times is panied to chronicle this
week the death of one of our most
promising young men-Roy Arthur
Denning. The cause of death was ty-
phoid fever. Roy was taken sick on
Sept. 9Th at New England in Hettinger
county. Feeling ill he started for
Dickenson, forty miles distant, and from
there started home by team. He was
obliged to abandon the overland trip at
Mandan. Leaving his horses there he
came by train arriving home on the
18th. He was very sick boy when he
reached here, but by careful ulnursing and
the skill Of the physician it was thought
for awhile that he would recover. Last
week, however, hemorrhage Of the
bowels set in; he grew gradually worse
until death relieved him Of all earthly
suffering at five o'clock Thursday after
noon, October 4th.
Roy was the second son of Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. H. Denning. He was a pro-
duct of our own county, being born at
Glendale the 14th of October, 1883.
He was educated and was a graduate
of our city schools. Last year he en-
tered Taylor University at Upland.
Ind, with view to fitting himself for
the mission work in Africa. He was one
Of three young men from this theological
school who went to the country west Of
the Missouri during vacation to do mis-
sionary work among the people who
are fast focking into that productive
country. They were under the charge
Of Presiding Elder Danford Of the
Fargo district of the M. E. church.
It was nearing time to go back to
school when his sickness came.
This is the first break in a family of
seven children-four boys and three
girls-a family of whom the city and
the county may we'll feel proud. Such
a family of bright, God-fearing children
is blessing to any community, and
while this is the first link that has been
severed in the circle, the family and
friends take the bright view of the
loyed ones death as they know he has
gone to world where there is no sor-
row.
The funeral was held from the M. E.
church Saturday afternoon at >one
o'clock, Rev. j. N. Loach, our former
pastor, preaching the sermon, being
assisted in the service by Rev. ]. S.
De Long. Rev, Loach spoke lovingly
of the departed, telling of his many
good traits Of heart and mind. The
church was crowded to it's utmost
capacity, and many were the tears shed
during the service. Interment took
place in the Oakes cemetery.

This Week.


Nothing seems to attract crowd on the
street like the work on a new building, from
the foundation to the lofty roof of the sky
scraper. For week past workmen have been
drawing up into place the great pillars of new
bank building near u.s. They are splendid mon
oliths of granite, polished, as the Psalmist says
"after the similitude of a palace" And Il
multitude will pause and crowd the street to see
the big stones rise and take their places, firm
based and erect, crowned with lowered capitals
and to bear the weight of great and splendid
facade.
The many-sided Paul, who saw so many
things, had a keen interest in building and
its terms enter into all his speech and lis
letters. He uses scarcely any words more freely
than those which We translate, "edify" and
"edfeation.' Many parts of the building
come into his use. There are some great pass
ages of this kind "Now therefore We are of the
household of God, and are built upon the found
alton Of the apostles and prophets, Jesus
Christ, himself, being the chief corner stone"
"Ye are Gods building" 81 have laid the
foundation, and another buildetk thereon
"And other foundation can no man Law than
that is laid, which is Jesus Christ
The building words and images run through
all the speeches and letters Of Paul, and serve
to Identify them. Do you know that they are
not found in the Epistle to Hebrews? 1t is
one reason why scholars cannot think that that
letter was written by Paul They are not in the
letter of James But Peter quotes great
passage from Isaiah, and admires it and COM
ments on it. "Behold, L lay in Zion a chief
corner stone,' and makes his great bidding "To
whom coming as unto living stone-Ye also
as lively stones are built up spiritual house.
That is strange thing, Giving stone," but
that is the kind of foundation Christ is, full
Of life giving life and then "giving it more
abundantly."
This is passage from John Ruskin's Cleo
lures on Art" "Let every dawn of morning
be to you as the beginning of life, and every
setting sun as its close then let every one of
these short lives leave its sure record of some
kindly thing done for others, some goodly
strength or knowledge gained for yourselves
so from day to day, and strength to strength
YOU shall build up indeed by art, by thought
and by just WILL an Ecclesa of England. Of
which it shall not be said See what manner of
stones are herep but, See what manner Of
men 2"
