made i brave struggle to overcome
the infirmities Of age, vet willing to-
go across the dark river. For over
twenty i've years he had been . resi-
dent OF Fargo and for over twenty
years had been the tyler OF all the
Masonic bodies. IN this capacity he
had q very large acquaintance and
was held in high esteem. He was q
member Of the Blue Lodge, Chapter,
Commandefy. Shrine and Scottish
Rite, and no meeting seemed complete
without having him at the door to
greet the brethren. He will be
mourned by: many Masons Of this city
who had come to know him well while
attending Masonic gatherings in
Fargo. ..A.
A Grand Day---H some of the be-
nighted people Of the far eastern
states could drop into Bismarck to-
day and feel the hot sun and enjoy the
soft chinook breeze they would marvel
at the salubrity Of the climate. The
day has been simply perfect, and 50
warm that it has spoiled the sleigh
ing in short order.
The Man on the Rox-It has been a
long time since Bismarck people have
had such a good laugh as they had
last night over the escapades of Max
Ngman as THE Man on the Box
From the. start the play sparkles in
wit and Mr.. Figman and his excellent
company convulsed the house with
their Interpretation of it. The play
was absolutely devoid Of evil thought
or deed and had running through it's
lines an element OF chivalry which,
despite the foo1ishness of the situa-
tons, was clearly brought out. It was
altogether the most clever and anus.
! ing play that has come to Bismarck
for several years, and the most &C.
ceptable. There were no sticks in the
company, the stage settings were
pleasing and the three acts were over
all too soon. The audience showed
its appreciation of Mr.. Figman's work
by a curtain call at the end of the
second act.
Il
Has a Good Thing-P. J. Lyons of
Steele Is in the city today. Pat says
after the first Of the year he will re.
move to Minneapolis and become the
secretary-treasurer and manager OF
1 the Transit Threshing Machine com
pany of which he is a half owner. He
is. rather enthusiastic over the merits
of the new Transit thresher and be
1 lieves it will revolutionize the thresh
ing business as itscan do the work fol
two cents a bushel as against 8 and 10
cents now charged for this work
The thresher is a combination OF en-
4 CINE and thresher as the latter is at
4 all times attached to the former and
takes power direct by means of long
! rod rotated by the engine with gear
meshing into other gear on the
thresher. The engine is a gasoline
power traction affair, very small, com
pact and light. The thresher rests
on but two wheels which gives it a
VERY peculiar appearance. The out
fit has been in use in the northern
counties the past fall and given al
kinds of hard usage and tried under
most difficult conditions ard has made
good under all tests. While Pats
friends in this region will miss him
and regret his change of base they
VIII always wish him we'll and hops
to see him in the old haunts from
1 time to time. E'" I
