Was the Benefit For Mercy Hospital
Fair Given by Churches

The fair given by the ladies of the
different churches about the city for
the benefit of Mercy hospital, is set
down in the annals Of history as
huge success. 1t was held Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday evenings
of this week in Odd Fellows hall.
every evening, from five to eight, the
ladies served an elegant and delect-
able supper. 1t was we'll patronized,
and if anyone left the tables hungry,
it was distinctly his own fault.
Chicken, cold ham, beans, baked in
the most approved Bostonese style,
potatoes, served in every fashion
known to the culinary art and elegant
pastry were on the bill of fare.
Tuesday evening-the opening night

selves outside the hall, and discoursed
half dozen marches. They then
went up to the hall, and played half
dozen more. Quite crowd followed
them up stairs, and the ladies in
charge of the different tables reaped
the harvest.
Along the west end of the hall the
tables we're ranged. First came the
candy booth, in charge of Miss Lillian
Wineman. Here were to be pro-
cured toothsome refreshments rang
ing from gum drops to the finest choc-
olates. That Miss Wineman did a

Then the toy booth, In charge of
Mrs. Edward Flynn and Miss Rhue.
Dolls galore, m chanical toys of every
description, and in fact everything a
child's heart could wish for were on
display there.
Three or four tables came next

e. J. Glass. Mr.. Glass had taken two
pictures of the vicinity and hac
merged the sky of one into the land

pleasing effect. The picture was Ger
tainly a beauty, and the purchaser o.
it has secured model of the photo
grapher's art. This table was II
charge Of Mrs. B. F. Green, with Mrs
w. H. Reid as cashier.

POISONED WHISkEY
Whiskey and Strychnine Proves a
Rather Strong Drink For Hessing
and Nort-Have Fully recovered.

WniSkey anu otTyCnn'ne TToVSS d
Rather Strong Drink For Hessine
and Nort-Have Fully recovered,
That North Dakota squirrel water,
especially when it is mixed with
strychnine is bad stuff can be fully
testified to by 10 Hessing and Frank
Mort, two threshing attaches of Mar
tin Gulseth's crew. That both the
men are not in the Land of Promise
by now is really considered rather
wonderful.
1t seems that Mort, who is a man
Of perhaps fifty years of age, lost a
bet with the rest of the crew Tues
day afternoon. He sent to town for a
quart of whiskey, and upon it's being
brought to him he poured little of it
into an empty bottle which he had
found in the granary, and deposited
the bottle in the corner of the barn.
The next morning upon going to the
barn to curry the horses, he offered
some of it to Joe Hessing, aged about
twenty-three.
Now it seems that the empty bottle
had contained strychnine, which had
been procured during last winter for
the purpose Of poisoning some gophers
and after taking small drink both
the men soon began to feel it's effects.
Their limbs became stiff. they spas
medically twisted and jerked, and
were later found by Forest Byrer,
another employe, who hurriedly drove
them to Mercy hospital in this city.
On the way in Mort recovered fully,
but for some time was dreadfully sick
from the effects of the drug. Hes
sing was taken to the hospital, and
after spending the day there was able
to return to the farm Thursday after
noon.

HIGH SCHOOL WON

BY Score of 8 to In Football Contest |
Cando Team Heavier-GiII is |
Great Coach.
"One, two, three, four. five, SIX seven,
All good children go to heaven.
When they get there they will yell,
Devils Lake high school did very
WELL"
And the rooters who continually sang
this during the game didn't miss it
far at that, for the final score stood
eight to nothing in our favor
The spectators who witnessed last
Saturdays game saw a good exhibi.
tion of football. Quite large crowd,
fully halt of them Of the gentler sex,
greeted the pigskin warriors when, at
the sound OF the referees whistle, they
trotted on the field, and the game was
on. Devils Lake won the toss, and
kicked off. Though the Cando men
averaged far heavier than the home
boys, they we're lacking in the scienti-
flc end of the game, and after the first
few plays the result was never in
doubt In ten minutes our boys had
forced their way towards Cando's goal
and finally sent Collinson across the
line for a touchdown. Maher kicked
goal, and the first half came to close
with the score six to nothing in our
favor. Maher was really the star of
the game, and his punting helped
our boys fairly well. But eight min
utes before the half came to close
the ball was pushed across Cando's
line for touchback, ane the score
when the referees whistle blew was
eight to nothing.
Gill, the referee, who is training the
home team, has brought our boys out
| wonderfully, and If they continue un-
der his tutelage, it is safe to predict
! that he will have one of the strongest
| school teams in the state. He has
seen ten years Of football himself, and
knows almost every trick and play ex-
tant. He has received several offers
, from big colleges to attend the insti-
| tuition and play on the team, but
switching box cars seems more attrac;
tive to Gill, and he has turned all the
offers down.
| In the evening the local high school
entertained the visitors at a dance

Select Seed Grains Now.

A prominent farmer of the county
said the other day that in his opinion,
now is the best time of the year to
secure seed for next seasons sowing.
He said that the tendency throughout
the country was to sell short with a
view to purchasing other and more
desirable seed. So frequently was
the purchase of seed neglected until
spring that the result was the seed
that could be secured the easiest was
taken with the result that it was not
always of the best. He said he had
found that it pays in the long run
to take great pains in selecting seed
and in paying more to get the best.
This applies to all kinds of seed
grains, and is we'll worthy of the con.
sideration of farmers and land owners.
