In those same good old days all
very old and half forgotten days are

Then there was the church going

As to the manner of carrying, you
grabbed the handle in your fist and
pointed the rod straight at the sun
and, being sure you we're right, went
ahead
Nowhere, at no time, were there
ever more tricks, more wiles, more
snares In the coquetish tilt OF the
sunshade than during this summer
OF 1906 on Fifth avenue or on
Avenue b.
You just ought TO see one OF the
new parasols, Here is one like ripe
cherries, even jucler, hemstitched
and real natural wood handle. Lit
tie did you think, when you lived
up on Begun creek, and Jimmy and
you picked berries inJune to buy new
Biographies in September, that the
stubby roots that bumped your poor
toes would some day, with faces
washed, every freckle and speckle
brought out conspicuously, and
dressed in fluffy chiffon and hand
painted satin greet you from the win
dow of one of the finest shops on
the avenue. Does that bumpy, knot

"Hand-painted," she whispered.
They use the same thrilling, spine
chilling tones in tho plays Mr.. Com
stock doesn't like,
"Hand-painted!"
You gaze on the precious thing
with eyes full of alteration as the
cherubs In Somebody's Madona.
Three whole roses and a leaf, and all
hand-painted.
Well, what would you say to a
whole parasol of ivory satin hidden
under a mass OF roses, great luclous
roses, and baby buds peeking out
from green leaf blankets, Just the
great smelly kind that grew along
the banks of Begun creek in June.
What would YOU say to that?
And, honestly, they are cheap, too.
So cheap it makes you laugh out
loud You tell the salesgirl YOU
couldn't think of buying anything
so common--you wonder If she
knows your gloves are darned, then
you stutter something else and trip
over rug on your way out. Only
$50!
Then there's another kind. You
take a good linen sunshade and give
it to the baby with a pair of big
shears you tell him to go as far as
he likes. While he's busy YOU scar
up one Of the front laCt curtains in
kind of promiscuous links, Then you
lay your lace patches on the nice ar
tistic little holes baby has sawed out

Special Train From St. Paul.

A special train consisting OF
eight coaches loaded with Job
bers and manufactures from St.
Paul, arrived IN Minot Monday
morning about 8 O'Clock. The
excursion train was accompanied
by the Minnesota State band
which gave a most enjoyable
band concert on the street. This
is one of the very best musical
organizations in the United
States. During the two or three
hours time in which the train
remained here, the jobbers called
about the city on their trade,
getting acquainted with men
with whom they have been deal
ing for years, but perhaps met
Monday for the first time. The
St. Paul fellows are princes in
every sense of the word. They
are young men OF exceptional
ability. Martin jacobson took
a number OF the hardware men
over the city in a carriage and
others we're entertained in a
similar manner. The jobbers
and manufacturers all expressed
themselves as believing that Mi.
not is the best city in the state
which they had visited.
The St. Paul contingent were
loaded with all sorts Of advertis.
ing curiOs which were scattered
here and there. The train left
for the east shortly before noon.
The entire line OF the Great
Northern with it's branches will
be visited before the train arrives
in St. Paul next Sunday night
The train averages about twenty
stations in a day.

Three Criminals Plead Guilty.

Three criminals plead guilty in
district court Tuesday. They
are VIM. Coyne and Howard
Smite, who attempted to burn
the Olson residence in St. Paul
in which Sheriff Lee and Deputy
Olson were sleeping. Olson and
Lee ran out in their night clothes.
The men were surprised while
boring a hole in the side of the
house through which they in
tended pouring gasoline before
setting the residence on fire. One
man was shot and brought down,
but escaped to the Canadian side
where he was caught the next
day
Dell Benton, who passed a bo-
gus bill on the Tagus> ticket
agent, plead guilty to getting
money under false pretenses.
Benton is a bad one and will
likely get good long term. On
his person good many counter
felt bills were found later.
Walter Stockton, the negro
who cut Kid Huston in the abdo-
men with a razor, which nearly
resulted in Huston's death, is on
trial and the jury will soon de-
eide his fate. Huston hovered
between life and death for some
days but is recovering.
McMann, the man charged
wit h stealing Ernest Tompkins
cash register, will be tried next.

CITY AUDITOR TO LOOK
AFTER CEMETERY

1t is now said that the police
have no right to kill dogs found
unmuzzled on the streets, unless
they are known to be mad, but
an ordinance provides that first
the dogs shall be taken to a
pound and after being advertised
and not called for, may be put
out of the way. In large cities a
dog wagon makes the rounds
and all stray dogs are gathered
in with a sort OF a wire net.
Eight city fathers braved the
hot weather Tuesday evening
and gathered at the city hall.
The council passed at it's first
reading the sidewalk ordinance
providing for cement walks. The
walks down Valley street will be
five feet wide. The question OF
the city we'll was taken up. The
driller has abandoned the well
after reaching a depth of220 feet
deep and the council will secure
someone to go on down. Shurr,
the Berthold we'll digger cannot
begin work for 40 days and
someone else will be secured.
J. 4. Roell and \. S. Blakey
who bought the lots south OF
Hotel Morrill,, asked permission
to put in a temporary sidewalk
which was granted. They ex-
pect to erect a brick block next
year.
The ordinance committee was
instructed to frame up an ordin-
ance making it the duty OF the
city auditor to look after the
selling OF the lots at the ceme-
terry. The city now has some
thing like $4OO on hand from the
sale of lots.
The city auditor reported
$341.75 collected in June from
the pool tables, and street takers.
Judge Murray reported $l75
fines during the month Of June.

LET US ALL PULL
FOR IMPERIAL WARD
It is Very Likely That a Normal
School and an Experiment
Station Will be Located in
This County---Minot Cannot
Expect all the Plums.

An effort should be made
among the leading men of Ward
county, to pull together and
during the next few years, we
will see some wonderful develop
ments in this part OF the state.
Now, while the Independent has
always pulled for Alinot, we do
not believe that MiuoU should
expect more than her share OF
good things. We have other
good towns in the county that
are entitled to some OF the bless.
ings so to speak, if there are to
be any bestowed upon this por-
ton Of the state.
We refer particularly to the
Normal school and the branch OF
the Fargo experimental station.
We believe that if Mr.. Chap
man, Mr.. johnson and Mr.. Car
ter, our three coming represent
atives, will play their cards right,
a law may be passed which will
provide for another Normal
school and at Minot and it will
be comparatively easy to secure
a branch OF the Fargo expert
mental station or agricultural
college for some other point in
the northwest.
Instead Of wasting our energy
trying to see into how many
slices we may carve our Imperial
Ward, let us pull for something
substantial. Minot already is to
secure the session OF United
States court which means that
within a short time a 100000
government building will be
erected here.

SIXTY FARGO MEN
VISIT OUR CITY

Sixty members OF the Fargo
commercial club, representing
the best and brightest business
men Of North Dakota's metrop-
oils, arrived in Minot over the
Great Northern Wednesday al
ternoon, in a special train, con-
sisting OF seven coaches. They
were met by members of the Mi
not Commercial club, and escort
ed to the rooms in this city where
quite a number OF our business
men had assembled. They were
shown about the city in car
riages and many called on their
trade for a few moments. Some
of the Fargo contingent had
been here before, but many had
not and they could not say
enough good words concerning
our city. One remarked to an
other: ''If the best preacher in
Fargo had told US what they had
out in the western part OF the
state, we would have set him
down as crazy. Why, we believ-
ed that Ward county was the
jumping off place, in the midst
OF a semi-arid country. Instead
we found the finest looking crops
we ever saw. Why, the Red
River Valley has been drowned
out for the past five years and l
don't know what we Fargo peo-
pie would do without the west
ern part of the state to draw
from" That man is level head
ed and honest. He will go home
ond tell some interesting stories
regarding the best city for its
size in the state.

LeSueur for Attorney General.

Attorney Arthur LeSueur has
been highly honored by being
nominated as a candidate for
attorney general Of the state on
the Socialist ticket at the Social
ist convention held at Fargo on
July 4th. Mr.. LeSueur has not
yet fully decided to accept the
nomination for he says that the
Socialists will put a full county
ticket in the field this fall and he
will likely make a fight for one OF
the county Offices. At any rate,
LeSueur is one OF the most pop.
ular Socialists in the state and
his name appearing on the state
ticket would lend it no little
amount Of strength.

Dale is After Threshlng Business

Fred Dale, who opened an i'm
plement house in this city a few
months ago, is bidding strongly
this year for the threshing ma
chine business. He has fitted up
several rooms at his implement
house for threshers' extras,
which include oil and grease
cups, water glasses, fue clean
ers, babbet metal, pumps for
water tanks, waste, and much
other material. Dale is a thoro

Do Not Want Publicity.

At a meeting Of the Medical
Association held in this city a
few weeks ago, a resolution was
passed against the practice of
the newspapers connecting the
names of the physicians with
news items concerning their
practice. At each meeting of the
association clippings from the
various papers will be read, show
ing the manner in which certain
physicians are given unprofes-
sional advertising, and if the pa
pers still persist in violating the
professional rule, a committee
will be sent to wait upon the ed
itor asking him to use more eau.
