There is a general impression that
Miss Fremstad is an American, but ac-
cording to her own statement this is
not the case. She is a Norwegian by
birth, and was already quite young
girl when she came to this country.
She lived for some years in Minneapo-
lis and Duluth, where she taught
music. No one can realize the hard
ships Of those early days of her musi-
cal career. Absolutely dauntless, buff
feting weather Of all sorts, she went
from one pupil to the other, and for a
pittance.
Within her was burning the love
for music, and one might almost say
she knew the pangs of hunger. Her
struggles to gain musical education
were continued in Chicago and New
York, where she continued her teach
Ing. Later she went abroad.
Won by Suffering.
Miss Fremstad, speaking upon the
subject Of study, said: II hope that
no one who wants to become an artist
will have to do 1t by dint of suffering
such as was mine, and yet cannot see
how the great goal can be won without
great suffering. Success does not de-
pend any more upon instruction and
natural equipments than it does upon
ones power of endurance. To achieve
the goal one must be able to cast aside
every tie, home and family, to over
come every obstacle and to face any
and every hardship and remember
nothing else but study. Many have
talent but few have the fortitude to
study and to overcome"
The Olive Fremstad who went to
Berlin ten years ago was talented,

Wagon Box Falls on Farmer in Run.
away Accident.
Compelled to lie pinned to the
ground from midnight until nearly Z
o'clock the following morning was the
experience Of George McKenna, a
Charles Mix county farmer. While
driving home with heavily loaded
wagon his horses ran away and tipped
over the wagon. Among the articles
on the wagon was a disc pillow. This
was thrown out with the other con-
tents of the vehicle, and piece of 1t
struck McKenna on the head with
such force that he was made uncon-
scious. When he regained conscious
ness he discovered that one arm was
pinned under the wagon box in such a
manner that he could not release it..
Not until nearly Z o'clock In the
morning was he found and released
by passer. McKenna was badly hurt,
among other injuries being the loosen
ing of three ribs from the backbone.

BOOSTING FOR GREATER CRY.
Aberdeen Club Plans spectacula,
Advertising Campaign.

Advertising Campaign.
Almost Immediately the Greater
Aberdeen club will begin its work Of
boosting Aberdeen, advertising the re-
sources of the city and surrounding
country and if present plans do not
miscarry the chances are the neighbour
Ing states will hear of Aberdeen in a
way which will not let them forget
about 1t, and will leave the inhabitants
talking of not much else. Former Gov
ernor G. N. Herreid, president Of the
club has called a meeting of the execu-
tive committee, and the chairmen OF
the other committees of the club will
call meetings Of their committees with
out delay. The club plans on a rather
spectacular but effective advertising
campaign. The idea is to charter a
special train and tour the neighboring
states with band, three singers and a
galaxy of good speakers. A press
agent will be taken along and it will
be his duty to get up snappy stuff con-
corning this section and to see that
1t is printed wherever the party stops.
A fund can easily be raised for this
purpose, and in fact. most of the
money required Is pledged now. The
advertising committee has prepared a
souvenir on Aberdeen and Brown
county which will soon be distributed
broadcast through the country.

The Auditorium.
IN addition to hearing the above
matchless voices the people Of the
Northwest will have an opportunity of
inspecting st. Paul's new Auditorium,
which was formally opened on Tues
day last by a grand concert and ball at
which the elite OF st. Paul's society
were present.
A little over two years ago st. Paul
decided to build an auditorium, and in
INC SNORT space or sixty days the peO-
pie subscribed quarter of million
dollars. The city then issued bonds
Tor $4,000. making a total of $500 900,
and every cent was used in the build
ing. The result is the largest, hand
soonest, most artistic, most elastic and
useful building of it's kind in the world.
since it's conception the general idea
mas been copied by at least two other
cities, Denver and Milwaukee, and no
doubt as Il becomes better known 9th
srs will follow.
Its Chief Feature.
The feature that distinguishes it
from all other auditoriums, is it's flexi-
bility as to capacity. There are other
features which would command first
attention had not the architects work

SUES RAILROAD FOR $4,000.
Huron Man Given Life Pass That
[ asted One Year


Lasted One Year.
By stipulation of the counsel two
cases against the Chicago & North
Western Railway company have been
certified to the federal court at Sioux
Falls by the clerk of courts for Beadle
county. The first case is that of John
La Lond, who seeks to recover from
the Northwestern company $4,000
damages claimed because of injuries
received in an accident at Balaton,
Mimi, last October.
The other is case instituted by G.
G. Brewer, formerly brakeman for
the North Western company, who was
injured by passing train at Verdi,
Mimi, In December, 1905. A compro-
mise was made with the company fol-
lowing the accident, by which Brewer
received $500, and, as he claims, the
company was to issue him a life pass
over its lines. He received a pass
good for one year, and on the expira-
ton of that time the company de-
clined to issue further transportation
to him. He brought suit for the sum
of $4,000 because of the failure of
the company to comply with the con-

Immediately after. the announcement
of the result, Sheriff Hopkins arrested
Don Pratt, Art Aylesworth, Harry
Summers, Dick Purse and Louis iJen-
son on charges of illegal voting. Ayles-
worth and Jensen were arraigned at
Redfield and the former discharged,
but the latter was held to the next
term of court
If the votes Of eJnson, Pratt, Sum-
mers and Purse are thrown out be-
cause of fraud, it will make the vote
on the liquor question a tie. But
should the prosecution fail to establish
their case, the prohibitionists have
still another card up their sleeves.
They will claim that not sufficient
number of freeholders signed the petit
ton for the submission of the question
to the voters, and that therefore the
town will have to remain dry.

CARE OF THE SICK ROOM
Above All Things the Walls Should
BE Kept Dry.

} +
When the bedroom becomes a sick
room there is an added reason why ex-
IRENE precautions should be used to
keep the room in thoroughly sanitary
condition.
Above all things,sthe bedroom should
never be damp. 1t should be nice ana
dry, always warm and comfortable In
winter, cool and airy in summer, and
bright and sunny some parts Of the
day.
It there is any suspicion of damp
ness in bedroom it is probably due,
II there is wallpaper on the wall, to
the absorption of water by the paper
which frequently acts as plotting pa
per and holds quantities of water in it.
The use of wallpaper on walls is to
be deplored; it means disease iii
health and unhappiness. 1t is fire.
quently the cause of lung trouble, not
only because of its danpness but also
because Of its power to retain infec-
ton of many kinds.
The desired method Of treating
bedroom wall is to tint 1t for the ala.
bastined wall is a perfect wall. It
never flakes off, chips or peels. It alb
! serbs moisture and expels it, it opens
the pores of the plaster and makes
room livable and breathable.
The floor in the bedroom should
have light, cleanable, dainty rugs that
can be easily shaken and floor that
is thoroughly oiled or vanished, that
| will not absorb moisture. The cracks
in the floor should be thoroughly filled
and covered. Woodwork in the bed
room should be attended to carefully,
window sills should be thoroughly var
nished or waxed, and the window cas-.
ings kept in perfect order. The doors
should be wiped off frequently as also
should be all the standing woodwork
in the bedroom, as the presence Of
dust on woodwork is menace to
health as well as an evidence of poor
housekeeping.

hard working, and aspiring; one might
almost wonder, however, whether she
ever aspired or hoped for the heights
she has since reached.
operate Debut.
Her operate debut was made at
Vienna In the role Of Brangaene to
Lehmann's Isolde. Mist Fremstad
was not only favorite of Frau Wag-
ner, but she also enjoyed the study Of
Wagnerian roles under her direction,
and whereas she has sung lighter
opera, her pre-eminent successes have
been in the roles Of the great master
of Bayreuth.
Miss Fremstad also appeared In
ARheingold," in "Gotterdammerung"
and as one of the flower girls in "Par-
sifal." Her luscious voice and consum-
maso grace in these plastic parts stood
out forcibly in the productions.
Rival Of caive.
After her appearances in Bayreuth
she went to Cologne and sang many
roles in the lighter operas, as also the
parts Of Waltraute and Carmen. in
which she made furore which in Ger
many rivaled Calves. After this. Of
efers came from all the opera houses in
Europe, but Munich captured her. She
played Brangaene. Fides, Carmen,
Haensel, and other contralto roles, and
after her farewell performance OF
Carmen the students embarrassed the
horses from her carriage, and hanging
it with laurel wreaths, drew her
through the streets. After this came
her successes in London, and the story
Of her triumphs in America is too well

Ben Ash, one of the Oldest residents
OF South Dakota, who lived at Yank-

Its junction with the Moreau river,

homesteaders, known as 'tnesters,"
are coming in from three sides, and
the old timers are beginning to be
hard pressed for range.
Ash, who is in Pierre on business.
tells OF one of his neighbors who for
years has been controlling a fine tract
OF meadow on which he secures his
winter supply of hay. No one among
the oldtimers disturbed him, as he was
there first. But he woke up few days
ago to the fact that a homestead
colony had taken the whole tract and
they were at work putting up their
little prairie shacks and beginning set
tlement. Another ranchman found
hester" calmly putting up his house
alongside his corrals, and he learned
to his sorrow that the filing covered
the ground which contained the corrals
and sheds. Many others are in the
same position, and will be forced to
dispose of their stock for lack Of
ground on which to herd them and
hay to carry them over the winter.
These old-timers had a great deal of
fun with Ash because he spent money
to buy whatever land was placed on
The market in the vicinity Of his home
ranch. Now they are sorry they did
not follow his example The "nesters"
are crowding Ash as we'll as the others,
but he owns enough to look after his
stock until he can dispose Of 1t to ad-
vantage; then still has the land to sell
at price which will make him good
profit on that investment
Settlers are coming out from Mo-
bridge and Evarts, and up from Belle
Fourche. Ash predicts that before fall
all the land unoccupied will be a few
Mills, and that the cattlemen who de-
pend upon free range will have to quit.
Cattlemen have been hampered along
the river for the last year, and the
settlers gradually have been pushing
them farther back. Butte county is

western part of the state In the little
Missouri valley a steam pillow has made

REUNITED BY RELIGION.
Two Aberdeen Couples Make Up After
Attending Revival Meetings.


Attending Revival Meetings.
During the revivals which are be-
ing held at Aberdeen these days by
Evangelist R. E. Johnson, some nota-
BILE things have happened. The latest
of these occurrences of note are the
reuniting Of two families where sepa-
ration had already occurred, and
which were about to eliminate in the
filing OF suits for divorce. One Of
these reunions occurred in the audito-
rum, where the meetings are being
held and happened right after pow
erful sermon By the evangelist and
his call for volunteers for Christ. A
man was seen to start up near the
rear of the audience and proceed to
the front. AS ne reached a point
about half way down the aisle, a
woman leading a little girl came out
of one OF the rows and faced the
front, as though about to go forward
AS she did so, she noticed the man,
and both stopped. The man grabbed
the little girl and kissed her. Then,
placing the child on the floor, he held
out his arms to the woman, who
rushed into them. They embraced
sobbing for few moments, and then
went forward together. They told
Evangelist Johnson that they could
never thank him enough for pointing
to them the right way and bringing
them together again. Another re-
union happened in private as result
of the revivals, and two married peo-
pie thus united have determined to
work for God and lay aside the petty
differences which made their formr
marriage life failure.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Costs Nothing to Try.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient dis
infectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; 1t is not
drug a. all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and inteStines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
ar composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather in
the form of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use of these 1ozenges will
soon tell in much improved condition
of the general health, better complex
ion. sweeter breath and purer blood,
and the beauty of it is, that no possible
harm can result from their Continued
use, but. on the contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician. in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says: 81 adj
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complexion
and purify the breath, mouth and
throat: 1 also believe the liver Is great
ly benefited by the daily use of them;
thew cost but twenty-five cents a box
at drug stores, and although In some
sense a patent preparation, yet 1 be-
lieye get more and better charcoal In
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in any
of the ordinary charcoal tablets"
