Xmas Shopping in Mjnot.

Nmas shopping has begun il
dead earnest in Minot, a large
number OF purchases beingmade
daily. The wise shopper does
not wait until the eleventh. hour
in the afternoon, but he buys
when the assortment Is yet large
and the goods are not all hand
led and picked over.
The most prominent business
men Of Mihot have selected the
independent as their advertising
medium and every day their
stores are filled with shoppers
from Mohai, Sherwood, Glen
burn, White Earth, Sawyer and
other places in the county, where
the independent circulates so
we'll. Make Minot your head
quarters for Xnas shopping
this year and you'll be pleased.
In the meantime watch the a6.

A Miner Writes.

Tasker, N. Dak., Dec. 2, 1906.
Editor Of the Independent
Dear Sir: In the last issue of
the Independent noticed an ar.
ticle headed, Goal Miners
Scarce, " and see therein that
you have either been misinform-
ed about things concerning the
miners in the way Of the miners
leaving, where they could be
making big wages, as you your
self do not know the circum-
stances, or maybe would not even
believe how these miners are
housed and fed, and in what con-
dition their places of abode are
kept. would like to have you
make round of these places
and see for yourself why the
men are leaving and l do not
think you would be much sur
prised why the men do not want
to stay: There are some of
course that can put up with it,
but there are also lots of men
and am speaking of the major
lty that are not used to such a
condition of things; would there
De better Accommodations and
board there would not be such a
thing as scarcity of miners.
Signed: A Miner.

commissioners are in a position
to probe INTO the acts OF the

hardly advisable to spend the
precious time OF the grand jury

New Agent for 500 Arrives.

r. l.. Sherman from Paynes,
vile, Mimi, arrived last week to
take charge of the business for
the 500, filling the vacancy OF
Mr.. Cummings who has resigned.
Mr.. Sherman has b9en connected
with the 500 tor fifteen years and
is therefore a trusted employee.
He is fully capable of looking
after the company's business in
Minot. 1t takes a very aggres-
sive fellow for this is an objec-
tive point for both the G. N. and
the 500. Mr.. Cummings has
made a good record here. He
has been very accommodating,
and a great many friends in this
city regret that he decided to
leave.

MAY PROBE ACTION
Of co. COMMISSIONERS
Enemies to County Board Would
See Members in tl0t Water
For Publishing Tax List in
Wrong Paper-County Will
Lose No Money.

Notwithstanding the fact that
the county commissioners ordered
the delinquent tax notice to be
published in paper which is not a
daily, viz: The Bowbells Tribune, Au-
ditor Fabrlck went ahead with the
sale anyway, altho its also probable
that most Of the tax payers who are de-
linquent will fight any effort to collect
the taxes before another year. The
property may be sold for the taxes, but
the question of the legality Of the trans
action will come up. The Independent
hears the rumor that the matter will be
placed before the grand jury when it
meets this month and the acts of the
commissioners may be probed by that
body.
That the commissioners wilfully
caused the notice to be published not
designated by law, is not believed by
anyone, yet 1t is nevertheless fact that
the auditor is placed in an embarras-
ing position. AS the commissioners
could not have been guilty of a criminal
act, it seems that the grand jury would
be wasting time and money to probe
the matter. The county will really not
lose anything, except the use Of the
money for year, and even then large
portion will likely be paid in voluntar-
lily. The county treasurer informs the
Independent that the delinquent real
estate taxes will amount to about s22,-
400.

A New Came

The North Dakota Bankers
association sends out the follow
ing story from Nebraska as q
warning to our own farmers
A swinder going by the name
of Spencer went to an attorney
at one town and told him he
lived on a farm between two
other towns not far distant end
said farmer near where he
lived owed him $17O. He de-
sired the attorney to notify the
farmer to pay this account at
once or suit would be brought.
The attorney, being we'll &C
quainted with the farmer ne re-
ferred to, notified him as re-
quested, and by return maid the
following day received a long re-
ply to his letter and also a check
signed with the farmers name,
drawn on a bank near a town in
which he lived, amounting to
$17O. The same day that the
attorney received the letter and
check, the man Spicer again
called and the attorney paid the
full amount of the check; less his
own charges, and sent the
farmer a receipt. As soon as
the farmer received the receipt,
he informed his bank that he
had issued no such check and in.
structed them not to pay it il
presented. 1t develops the
swindler or confederates had
watched for the delivery of the
) letter from the attorney to the
farmer and had distracted it
from the farmers rural delivery
mail boy, answered it, and en-
closed the forged check. The
l swindler then took the same
, train that the mail went on and
, thus was able to call upon the
, attorney shortly after the letter
J, was received. The man Spicer is
!. described as follows: About five
+ feet, eight inches high, and the
, main feature wheseby he can b.
, identified is that when he talks
his front teeth show and one
front tooth overlaps the other.

A Terrible Experience.

A Terrible Experience.
Dan Peterson, a commercial
traveller, representing P. R. L.
Hardenberg, St. Paul, and hav-
ing headquarters at Darlington,
| N. D., underwent a terrible ex-
perience in the blizzard which
swept over North Dakota last
week.
Mr.. Peterson, accompanied by
young lad as driver, left Russo,
small station on the Drake and
Plaza branch Of the 500, at l
o'clock p. M, on Friday, Novem-
Der 18th, for Dog Den, another
small station Ia miles east on the
same line. The storm increased
in fury and the travellers had
gone but a few miles when they
became lost and wandered aim
lessly among the hills lying in a
southerly direction from Dog Den.
After wandering till dark, the
weary wanderers spied a small
hut which proved to be the dwell
ing place of a Russian who utter
ly refused to shelter them for the
night, telling them that they
were only half a mile from their
destination. Again starting out,
they drove to the direction point
ed out by the unaccommodating
Russian, but soon discovered that
the half mile was only a delusion,
the actual distance being ten
miles. The wind, now almost a
hurricane, blew Mr.. Peterson's
hat away, leaving him in a still
worse condition, with the storm
beating on his bare head. Be-
tween 8 and 9 o'clock the wan
derers encountered a small de-
serted shack, blown nearly full
of snow, into which they entered,
taking their horses with them.
Finding some kindling wood they
made a little fire over which they
kept a weary vigil till day began
to dawn, when they once more
hitched up their jaded horses and
took up their journey, and after
many mishaps, including a broken
buggy and harness, they reached
Dog Den at II o'clock Saturday
morning. The horses had be-
come SO exhausted that they Of
ten lay down and the unfortunate
men were forced to walk the last
two miles, leading the team.
Upon reaching the nearest build
ing, an elevator, the exhausted
travellers collapsed and sank to
the floor, but were promptly rem
dered assistance and medical aid.
Mr.. Peterson informed the writer
that at times his eyes were so
covered with ice that it was nec-
essary to turn his back to the
storm and pull the ice from them
with his hands.
Upon hearing the story, the
citizens of Dog Den arose in an
angry throng with the intention
If mobbing the heartless Rus
sian. But for the timely inter-
:ession of Mr.. Peterson that un-
fortunate person would have met
With summary punishy1ent for
lis unkindneSS. Mr.. Peterson is
'ery thankful that he was not
rozen to death and hopes that
lis experience may warn some of
lis fellow-travelers not to start
ut in a Dakota blizzard. The
anne of the driver was not
earned.

Lost in a Blizzard.

A most distressing accident &C.
Cured during the storm of Sun
day the 25th ult., in Wells coun-
ty, near Fessenden, which caused.
the loss Of two lives, Vincent
Spinler and his two-year-old baby,
little Frances. In company with
his wife and two children, two
and five years Of age, Mr.. Spin
Ter visited at the home of his
father n-law, Frank Dusek on
Sunday. They were in a bob sled
find had two barrels of water
which they were hauling home
for their stock. About 5 p. m.
they started for their home 3
miles away but the blizzard in
creased and they soon lost their
way, passing Andrew Overly's
shanty, a half mile from their
home. Her husband did not heed
her entreaties and they wander
ed on until their team was eA-
hausted and they could travel no
further. He then unhitched the
team and started on horseback to
find his home and secure a fresh
team. He was successful in find.
ing his house after making three
attempts got another team and
returned to the sled, they then
went some distance farther when
they again got stuck in the snow
and were unable to extricate the
horses.
Finally, exhausted and unable
to struggle more, Spinler was
helped into the sled and careful
ly covered by his wife, but he
died. as she thinks. about 4
O'Clock in the morning. She then
took the little ones, one on her
back and one by the hand, and
started on foot to find some place
of refuge. Andrew overly had
been staying with the family and
he had been searching for them
most of the night but it was not
until the storm had cleared away
about noon or later on Monday
that he caught sight Of Mrs.
Spinler wandering around half
crazed and so exhausted that she
had been compelled to- leave her
children on the prairie. Mr..
Overly took her home and, then
together with Ole Larson, he
went back and. found the mere
babes who had been out in the
storm nearly 20 hours. They
were taken home and these men
did all they could to restore them
but the little girls hands and
feet were frozen so badly that
she only lived a half hour after
being taken home. Little Hen
RVS feet were only slightly frozen
and he seems not to have taken
any serious hurt from his bitter
of that long dreadful
night.

RrxAu DYSPEPSIA TABLETS

The remarkable success of
Rexall Dyspepsia T ablets is
largely due to the new and sue
cessful method of manufacture,
whereby the we'll known prop
critics, of Bismuth Subnitrate
and Pepsin have been combined
with carminitives ana other
agents.
Bismuth Subnitrate and Pep
sin are recognized by the entire
medical profession as specifics
for acute indigestion or chronic
dyspepsia.
The pepsin used is manufac-
tured Under a new process S
which develops its greatest ef-
ficiency. Pepsin not only sup
plies to the digestive machinery
one OF the most important ele-
ments of the digestive fluid, but
it seems to exert a tonic infu-
ence upon all the glands which
supply all the other elements.
The carminitives add prop
critics which promptly relieve
pains caused by undigested food.
The com b in a ii on of the
whole makes a remedy abso-
lutely invaluable to any man or

sia-and not only a remedy but

tive functions. Package, Csc.

and the musical critics seem to vie with
each other in singing the praises Of
Skovgaard and his associates. The
Minneapolis Times says: "Skovgaard
has reached point whore he is above
criticism. His training is that o! the
consummate nnsician-the finished pei

OF America alone that. has been capti-

and true, his bowling is supple and ele-
CANT, and his execution is marvellous IN
it's accuracy and 1apidty."
While CopenhAgens leading daily
says that his playing was "a notable
achievement and as is always the case
when the famous artist perfosms, the
enthusiasm was immense.
Nor is Skovsaard the only artist IN
