Wonderful Floral Display.

The flower contest, given un-
der the auspices Of the Ladies'
Literary club at the High School
Monday evening, was a great
revelation to those who attended.
No one could believe that such
gorgeous displays Of flowers ever
grew in Minot. The display was
really wonderful and the ladies
deserve much credit for inducing
the children Of this city to take
such interest in growing these
beauties. Miss Elsie Schwab re-
ceived the first prize, while Geo.
G.. Enos received the second.
Miss Ethel Hurd received the
prize for the best floral exhibit,
not limited to ones cultivation.
The prizes were presented by
Hon, L. D. McGahan.

Forged Checks to Amount of
$50. 4

K. Ness, former bookkeper for
Wheeler & Dyer, forged several
checks on Howard Dyer, junior
member Of the firm, and is miss
ing from the city. The forged
checks amount to nearly sixty
dollars. Ness has been in the
habit of spending his money
rather freely in a questionable
manner, and it is believed that
he forged the checks to make
good an amount of money taken
from his employers. tits known
that he took a sum Of money at
one time, but made up the defic-
iency. Ness is we'll known in
the city and his friends are sur
prised at his actions.

Seasons Crop Pays for Land.

Land values are going up ex-
ceedingly fast in this part Of the
state. With the bumper crops
this season, land will sell this fall
for almost a thousand dollars a
quarter more than it did early in
the spring. Many quarters are
selling now for four or five thou
sand dollars each. It seems but
a little while ago that $1.800 or
$1,000 would buy the best quar-
ter section Of land in the country.
That time is past. It takes money
to make the mare go" in Ward
county now. For six or seven
years we have had continuous
good crops. The land seems to
re getting better every year.
New railroads are forging their
way into new countries. Land
in the. Ryder country especially
has taken a jump. With good
prospects for steel to be laid on
the Drake branch not later than
October l, there is no more de-
sirable land in this part of the
state than in the vicinity Of
Ryder. Why shouldn't land ad-
vance in value? Won't one sea-
sons crop almost pay for the
land that produced it? Farmers,
hold your land.

D0ugIas-Ryder Country by Auto.

A representative of the Inde-
pendent saw the Douglas-Ryder
countries Tuesday in an auto.
That's the only way to get over
a long distance in a day and see
the country satisfactorily.
The Independent man was one
OF a party consisting OF Atty.
Gammons, Lewis Egan, l. Peter
son Roseland and the driver,
Clifford Welch, carried the party
in Cadillac machine and not
once was the machine unable to
carry the party up the steepest
hills, and there are not a few OF
them between Minot and Doug
las. We noticed that in passing
thru the hills, the ranchers had
mostly deserted the old ranches.
The new settlers had encroached
upon their territory too closely.
There are not many houses IN
the range of hills, but the land is
excellent, and in time will be we'll
settled.
About ten miles north OF Doug
las, the hills disappear and in
place you see a we'll settled farm
ing country. Broad acres Of
wheat and fax and many new
buildings indicated the general
prosperity OF the Douglas coun-
try.
The party drew up at the home
of the postmaster, Otis J Marks,
where Mrs. Marks prepared a
splendid noondav meal, in spite
OF the fact that she had the work
of half a dozen women to do
that day.
The drive from Douglas to Ry-
der was made in a few minutes.
Old Ryder has almost disap:
peared and instead, a grand
good town, New Ryder has
risen four and a half miles north
OF the old site. The town was a
month and two days old, yet ff-
ty or sixty business houses were
either constructed or under the
course OF construction that day.
Four banks will supply plenty
of money. Nearly every line OF
business is we'll represented. The
men are young and are hustlers.

BANK ROBBERY
At MENTOR
Thirteen Hundred Dollars SeCur.
ed by Burglars. Number of
People Heard Noise of ExpIo-
sion, but Arrived too Late.

Tuesday morning at three
O'Clock the state bank of Mentor
was robbed, the burglars secur-
ing thirteen hundred dollars and
have so far escaped the authori.
ties. Mentor is located south OF
Crookston, and is the point
where people going to Maple
Lake leave the train, being but
three miles from the lake.
Several persons living near the
bank heard the explosion when
the bank safe was blown open.
They, however, delayed in COM
ing out and by the time they
reached the bank, the robbers
had flown, leaving the doors OF
the bank wide open. No trace
could be secured of them, and the
robbers were given ample oppor-
tunity to escape.
The booty consisted of $500 in
gold and $500 in currency.

Poverty Stricken.

A few weeks before Christmas
the wife OF a young man who
had come to North Dakota a few
years ago from an eastern state,
and about a year ago had been
Joined by the girl Of his choice,
received a letter from the hus-
bands sister, in which it was dip
lomatically stated that the writ
er being aware Of the indepen-
dence and pride of her brother,
and fearing to offend him, was
fearful that the young people
had come to want, and asked the
wife to send a list of such things,
including potatoes, cabbage,
flour and other necessities as
would be needed to keep them
from suffering during the fearful
winter and the family in the old
home would send them as Christ
mas gifts SO that the pride OF the
son and brother would be wound
ed as little as possible. A stamp
ed envelope and a sheet OF paper
were enclosed for the return list.
The young wife replied on the
printed stationery Of her hus-
band and stated that they were
in sore need OF help. That they
were then living in a miser-
able shack that had cost only
81, 900; that she did not have a
thing better than Brussels car
pets to put on the floors; that
their barn was a miserable thing,
only 4Ox1OO feet, and that it
was hardly large enough to sta
BILE the twenty-five horses they
had left. She piteously told how
she had no other means ofreach-
ing the town than to drive in a
closed carriage and that the best
she had to wear was a dress, the
cloth of which cost the pitiful
sum OF $2.75 per yard, and an
old fur coat that she bought for
$75. And worst of all the only
gift her devoted husband could
give her for Christmas was a pi-
ano that cost him only $475.
The crops had been gathered
and when the expenses were tax.
en- out they had the pltiful sum
Of $4,000 for their summer &
work and that in view OF these
circumstances anything thatcan
be spared from the old home
would be accepted. The Christ.
mas gift from the east did not
arrive.

Two Witnesses.

''Two brothers," says Both
Sides, "kept a saloon in a Mis-
souri, town, and one OF them went
to Chicago to lay in a supply OF
liquor. At the time he left home
a revival was in progress in the
town, and he had hardly reached
the end OF his journey when he
received the following telegram:
''Bu.y no liquor. Will join
church tomorrow night. Busi-
ness is taking us to hell" Jim.
'"That night Bill went to hear
Bob Ingersol lecture, and he sent
back this message:
"Hold on until | come. Have
it from a prominent citizen Of ILL.,

An Interesting Find.

While blasting rock in the base-

day, workmen discovered a very
unique find. The center of one
Of the broken nigger heads was
a mass of beautiful shells AS hard
as flint, and about an inch long.
1t will take more than a COM
mon mathematician to tell how
long the shells were imbedded in
the stone, but no doubt a long
time before this earth was inhab-
tied by man.

intense excitement, and she was
assigned to a room. After being
in the room for a short time she
suddenly rushed out into the hall
way. She was violently insane.
Willing hands took care Of the
unfortunate woman and placed
her in her room. At times she
would become rational, only to
again become oblivious. Medical
aid was summoned and it was
found that she was suffering
from typhoid fever.
Mrs. O'Hara of the CONNER
cial lent a mothers care to soothe
the sick woman, and it was
thought best to call in the serv-
ices Of a professional nurse, who
took charge Of her. All efforts
to locate her parents or relatives
have thus Ear been without avail.
It was found that she had a sis
ter at Weyburn, Canada, who was
communicated with, only to find
that she had purchased a ticket
to Minneapolis, ostensibly on a
visit.
It was decided that it would be
better to have the sick woman
taken to the hospital at Minot.
Officers Kinser and Hoffman lent
their services, and she was car
ried to the train on a stretcher
and taken to Minot in chage of
Nurse Thomas. Her condition is
very serious and every care and
attention will be given in hopes
of her recovery.

joys of an Editor.

ia be a country editor, and
chase around for news before I'd
be a millionaire, with wealth l
could not use; I'd rather be a
printer with patches on my
breeches, than be a master OF
finance, with all my thoughts on
riches. I'd rather eat my mod.
est meals, digest the same with
ease, than sit down to a royal
feast, with a stomach like John
DIS. TO romp and frolic with
my kids around our chherful
hearth, with their mother for the
audience, to help enjoy the mirth,
is better than to move about in
high society, where dress and
Jewels, false display made life a
mockery. 'Tis true the printers S
cash gets short and duns come
in a hurry, but the happy fellow
does not fret, he let's the "dun-
ners" worry. He always has a
conscience clear, a disposition
sunny; he knows that life has
other joys, besides the chase for
money. For the molder Of opin-
ion is a happier man by far thar
the man who owns a palace, a
yacht and a private car. And
when he goes to his reward he
knows that all is we'll, while the
man who makes his wealth his
god may some day walk ink.
