Bowbells. N. D.. May 3.-An insur-
gent meeting was held at this place
Tuesday evening which proved to be
failure from the point of attendance.
The speakers of the evening were Hon.

who purport to be at the head of the
Republican Good Government league
The talks were directed along the US
ual lines Of scoring Alexander McKen-
zie, Senator Hansbrough and the large
corporate interests of the country
When the speakers opened the meeting
there were about dozen men in the
hall, the attendance later on being
somewhere about thirty. There was
but little life to the meeting and it is
said that the men stated that it was
the hardest place. they had yet been to
arouse interest
The funeral services over the re-
mains of Mrs. J. B. Donovan, whose
death occurred at the farm home seven
.hiles north of this place on Thurs
day of last week, were held at the
Catholic church at this place Sunday
at 1880 O'Clock a, M, Rev. Father
OSullivan officiating. The attendance
at the funeral was one of the largest
ever known in these parts. At the
conclusion Of the services at the
church a procession of more than 70
teams followed, the remains of the
esteemed woman to the cemetery one
mile east of town where the last sad
rites were performed.

home twelve miles north of town Sun

T. o. Hunter. our popular hardware
dealer, has added to his undertaking
department modern hearse which
was received from MINNEAPOLIS last
Saturday. This is need which Bow
bells has long felt and the thanks of
the people In general are given Mr..
Hunter. Heretofore it has been the
only available custom to use ordinary
conveyances for the Transportation of
the dead at funeral services which is
very cold way, especially in the eyes
of eastern people who are constantly
arriving, and who have been accus-
toned to seeing modern hearses used.
This is the only hearse in Northern
Ward county, and no doubt will be
called into service in many of the
nearby towns. The vehicle was used
Sunday for the funeral of Mrs ]. B.
Donovan and Tuesday for that of Mrs.
A. E. Shaw. -

the past six months. He has accepted
a position as stenographer for the

spring that ever before and the acre
age greatly increased over last year.

National bank, has decided to locate
