The Youth and the Oyster.

A youth from Kenmare whose
name we have been asked not to
divulge, walked into q swell cafe
in Minneapolis recently and seat
ing himself at one of the tables,
waited the approach of the pref
test waitress in the entire place.
He told her he wanted some
thing good to eat but didn't
know exactly what it would be.
The girl suggested that he trust
to her Judgment and he.dd.
For the FIRST course she brot on
three big nice raw oysters. The
unsofisticated yonth had never
seen such large bivalves and
didn't know just how to eat
them. In three minutes the wait
ress returned Tor the dishes and
the oysters remained on the
plate. She left and in q short
time later returned and the oys-
tiers were still there. She said,
.sWhv don't you eat your oys-
ters?'' The youth replied that
be didn't know how to go about
It. The waitress suggested that
she show him and after sprink-
ling an oyster with salt and pep
per, pouring q little vinegar over
it and breaking al aw crackers on
it, she ate it.
"That oyster stay down for
your" the Kenmare young man
asked. ''Sure," the waitress re-
piled.
well, good land" the youth
went on, 81 tried that same oys-
ter six times and the thing came
up every time"

Hardware Dealers Will be Here.

The Independent again re-
minds the merchants Of sMinot
that on Feb. 5, 6 and 7th the
hardware dealers of the state
will meet in Minot for their an
nual convention. This will be
the greatest convention held in
the state anywhere during the
present year and four or five
hundred hardware men win be
present.
Arrangements are being made
to give these men q royal good
time. The Commercial club,
which made an effort to secure.
convention, no doubt will see
that the dealers are entertained
only as Minot is capable of
doing. Most Of the business men
will decorate their windows and
stores, in honor Of these dealers.
Minot is getting known tar
and wide as q convention city, on
account OF its geographical l.,ca-
ton and the manner in which
the delegates are treated.
Did you ever stop to think,
that when the new road from
Bismarck to Minot is completed,
this is the only city in the state
that can be reached from every
point within six hours? This
will have an important bearing
on Minot in numerous other
ways.

The Independent was informed
Saturday that the Russell Miller
Milling Co. had completed ar
rangements to erect an 500
barrel -four mill N Minot and
have it in readiness for the spring
trade.
A representative Of the 500
and one of the members of the
firm were in Minot several days
selecting a location. 1t was f.
nally agreed to locate the mill
on P. P. Lees lots just north Of
the 500 depot and the railroad
company will begin perhaps this
week, hauling in dirt and gravel,
filing up the low lots, 80 that 9
side track can be run to the mill.
The mill will be constructed Of
white brick and will be q beauti-
full and modern structure. The
machinery will be the very latest,
all new, and the company will be
in a position to place an excel
lent product on the market from
the very first.
This same company has q line
of mills, ell Of which are doing 2
great business. The new one for
Minot, We believe will be the
largest We understand that the
company will own.
At Harvey the company has a
500 barrel mill which has been
turning out an exceedingly good
flour.
Minot is quite q milling point,
and by reason of it's extremely
excellent geographical location,
it is becoming more important
every day as q jobbing center
The product of the Minot mills
will go far and wide.
Minot already has one mill,
the Minot Flour Mill Co.. which
is doing q first-class business,
putting out the best grade Of
-four to be secured in the north
west. But the field is regarded
as very large and no doubt both
mills will do q good business.
Mrs. Bosard of this CITY is 9
daughter of Mr.. Miller of the

APPLICATION is DENIED.
Court Refuses to Prevent Iowa Rate
Law Going Into Effect.

Des Moines, 1a., July 12.-Judge Nc
Pherson Of the federal court denied
the application of the two stockholders
Of the Iowa Central and the Minneap-
oils and st. Louis for a restraining or
der against the directors of these
roads to prevent them from putting
into effect the 2-cent passenger rate
passed by the Iowa legislature, TAX
ing effect July 4. The Judge based
his action upon the ground that no in
Jury to the roads was shown: that the
complaint that the new rate would cut
down dividends was not proved; that
increased passenger travel might in
crease receipts, and that under rule
"a Of the supreme court the case was
not properly brought, as no charges
Of bad faith on the part of the direc-
tors was alleged.

FAILS TO NIT N. FALL|ERES
Would.bo Assassin Fires Twice
at French President.

Paris, July 15.-When the national
fete was at its height, just after Pres
ident Fal]ieres had reviewed the
troops in the presence Of an enthusi-
astio crowd, the gaiety of the day was
marred by an attempt to assassinate
the president Of the French republic
by Leon Maillee, naval reservist Of
Havre, who, it 10 believed, is suffering
from tho mania of persecution. Malice
fired two shots at the president, but
did not hit him. He was at once ar
rested.
The attempt on his life occurred on
Avenue des Champs-Elysees while the
president was returning to the palace
from Longchamps, where he had re-
viewed the garrison of Paris in the
presence Of 250,000 enthusiastic peo-
pie.
Premier Clemenceau and M. Lanes,
the presidents secretary, were with
the president in his landau, which
was escorted by a squadron of cuiras-
siers.
The carriage had safely emerged
from the Boise de Boulogne, where
the anti-militarists had stationed them
selves with the intention of hooting
the soldiers, and was descending the
broad Champs-Elysees amid the accla-
nation of the crowds thronging the
sidewalks when, at the corner of Le-
sueur street Malice, from the curb,
fred two shots point blank at the
president In quick succession.
Miraculously no one was hit. Pres
ident Fallieres was cool and collected
when the cortege stopped. The diplo-
mats who were following the pres
ident's landau alighted from their car
riages and hurried to the side of M.
Fallieres. Finding that nobody had
been injured by the presidents orders
the cortege moved on.
