RUSH FOR ANTI.FAT.
Female Employees of Uncle Sam
Court Stylish.Like Form.


Court Styllsh.Like Form.
Washington, D. c., Sept. 8.-The
pharmacists of this city are blessing
the federal government for the order
promulgated regulating the amount of
avoirdupois the women employed by
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing
may wear. The sale of anti-fat has
cracked all records.
At first it was believed the ukase
was the creation OF some official fad
dist. 1t stipulates that no woman un-
der feet 10 IL inches shall be en-
ployed. 1t bars women whose hip
width is more than 16 inches and wom-
enen whose busts exceed 10 inches
in depth are Ostracized.
The mere mechanical contrivances
in the bureau have caused this order.
The machines are crowded in a small
space. Most Of them are so high that
women below the specified height can
not operate them, and operators of
large proportions interfere seriously,
the officials say, with the smooth run
ming of the department because of the
space they occupy.
The female employees who do not
conform to the sylph-like proportions
indicated will have to go, and there is
great rush for weight-reducing ap-
paratus among prospective employees.

from each other by but a few miles,
were going east. Sullivan was one
OF the crew on the first train. A stop

back to flag train number two to
avoid any possibility of collision.
His instructions were to remain be-
hind and come in on the next freight.
When the second train arrived at
knowlton he entered the caboose and,
his duties being temporarily over, lay
down to rest. Knowing that the third
train was approaching at Sweet Briar,
another ftagman was sent back by the
conductor. This man, however, did
not succeed in getting back far enough
to halt the oncoming third freight and
the locomotive crashed into the
caboose in which Sullivan was Sleep
ing, wrecking the caboose and killing
Sullivan instantly.
Sullivan was nephew of the Nc
Gillics of Mandan. He served in the
Spanfsh-American war in the Philip
pines and was young man of good
habits and great promise. He was to
have taken the examination Saturday
for the position of conductor.
The funeral was held from st.
Joseph's church, Mandan, Sunday af-
ternoon. Deceased's caboose, draped
in mourning by loving hands, was in

purchase of the Brown building adj
joining the Phillips block on South
Third street. the consideration being
$4,000. The building will be re-
modelled and will then be used by the
Grand Forks Gas and Electric Co.,
of which Mr.. Murphy is the chief
stakeholder.
The building was bought from E. ].
Lander & Co., and the gas company
will use it for offices, salesrooms and
storerooms, but before it is occupied
it is the intention of Mr.. Murphy to
make number of changes in the
building that will make it one of the
handsomest and most substantial on
the street or in the city.
A solid granite front will take the
place of the present brick front, the
full three stories high, and this i'm
provement will make the building no.
ticeable in a city where brick and
stone have been used to the exclusion
of all other materials in the con-
struction of business blocks. The in

Exciting Novel by Oppenhelm.
Novel readers everywhere will be
glad to have tip on the brilliant new
romance, The Great Secret" by f.
Phillips Oppenheim, author of "a
Prince of Sinners" "The Mysterious
Mr.. Sabin" and other noted books. 1t
is one of the most fascinating tales
OF mystery and action in recent fiction.
I fret CT
ply can't get away from the magic
spell of the story till the mystery is
solved in the last chapter.
Suppose you were quietly undress-
ing in your room at a London hotel
when suddenly terrified man rushed
in, locked your door, and told you that
the men outside we're going to kill
him. Suppose you liked the mans
locks, SO that your fighting blood was
up to defend him. What would you
do when his enemies burst in your
door and tried to drag him off without
law or warrant? And suppose the
man possessed some momentous secret
which made him the victim of an in
ternational conspiracy, and that
beautiful American girl seemed to be
one OF the cOnspirators. Interesting,
Is it not? Well, that is only hint
of the first chapter, and the story
carries one along in a whirlwind of
mystified excitement to the end.
Mr.. Oppenheim Is wizard with the
pen. Americans are only beginning
to realize that he is one of the great
est masters Of exciting narratives In
this decade. He is an Englishman
with an American wife, and charac-
ters from both countries figure in his
novels. "The Great Secret" is a mar
vel Of its kind. The first INSTALL
ment will appear in the Sunday Mag
azine of the Chicago Record-Herald,
September 80.
