DICKINSON BUSINESS
COLLEGE :.
Started Out With q Good
Enrollm ent. M q ny
New Students Each
Day

The Dickinson Business college
opened this week with good enroll
ment and the increase in the day school
has averaged four each day this week,
while the enrolment in the night school
has increased at the rate of six per night
since last Friday. Fifteen full-term stu
dents are coming in from the country
next week and then the instructors will
be kept very busy.
The building is fully equipped for the
accommodation of 100 students. It is
supplied with handsome oak furniture,
with the antique finish, and of a grade
about twice as good as will be found in
the general run of business schools.
Six offices and bank are arranged in
the building and each is complete in
every detail. Nothing has been spared
to make it up to date in every respect.
The books, alone, for the offices cost over
s45o.
The College bank, organized according
to law, with an actual paid-up capital, is
managed by regular student officers and
the books are accurately kept. A bal
ance can be shown for every school day
and every part is looked after as care
fully as if millions depended upon it.
The student who selects business
course in the school gets practical ex-
perience in banking, wholesale, retail,
commission, insurance and real estate
business. In every branch the student
does exactly the same work as would be
required in actual business.
In the shorthand department the
Gregg system is taught This system is
the easiest to learn and the fastest tc
write. Typewriting has been reduced tc
a system, and the touch system is recon.
mended by the instructors. The L. C.
Smith and Remington typewriters are
used and the student works with the Wis
ible and invisible writer.
The college furnishes text books free
of charge, and a library for the use of the

Agricultural coIIeae

Bulletin, No. 72, issued by E. F. Ladd
and R. E. Stallings contains much inter.
esting and valuable. material as regards
the bleaching of -four. The conclusion
reached by Prot. Ladd and his assistant
is that the chemicals used remain in the
-four after bleaching and are not de-
sirable constituent Of food.
The Millers' association of the state
has filed temporary injunction to pre-
vent Prof. Ladd from publishing bulle,
%. When the Injunction is returned the
millers will probably fight test case to
test the validity of the law.
F. Sanderson, an expert miller, has
been employed to carry on the contem.
plated milling tests at the new -four mill
Of the college. Farmers may now have
their wheat tested by -four and baking
tests and thus know ito value.

Death Of Mrs. Mooney

Mrs. James A. Mooney died at her
home nine miles east of Fayette on Mon
day evening.
Mrs. Mooney, who was 56 years old,
had been assisting at the home of her
son, Manley M. Cone, for few days dur
ing the threshing season and had left his
house in the evening to 60 to her own
cottage, a distance of about 30 rods, in
tending to return to her sons home after
making things safe for the night in her
cottage, but when she failed to return
Mr.. Cone started out to find her. He
went first to the cottage and, not finding
his mother there, started back home.
When about half the distance on the re-
turn trip he found the body of his
mother.
Mrs. Mooney had made her home in
this part of the country for about five
years and had enjoyed very good health
until quite recently when heart disease
commenced to trouble her.
She is survived by her son, M. NJ.
Cone, OF Fayette and three brothers and
two sisters in Wisconsin.
The body was taken to her former
home in Augusta, Wis.,, where the funeral
was held later in the week and interment
was made in the family cemetery beside
the bodies of her husband, son and two
daughters. Mr.. and Mrs. Cone accom-
panied the remains east and attended
the funeral.
During her stay in the Fayette neigh
borhood, Mrs. Mooney made many
friends and she will be deeply mourned
by large circle of acquaintances.
She had made arrangements to CON-
mute on her homestead, because she
feared to be alone since her health be-
gan to fail.

students is being started. There are
already over 100 volumes of the very
best kind of books, to be used in connec-
ton with the regular work.
Common school studies are not forgot
ten in the Dickinson Business college
and practical and thorough course of
instruction in commercial law, CONNER
cial arithmetic, practical English gram
mar, commercial correspondence, rapid
calculation and plain business penman-
ship are part of the regular course.
The department of penmanship and
pen art, in charge of Prof. McCollum,
has large enrolment at this early date.
Most of the pupils are taking the course
known as special penmanship, which
embraces rapid business writing, flourish
ing and ornamental writing, pen and
mechanical lettering, shading, etc.
The building is we'll heated, lighted
and ventilated and no cost has been
spared in trying to arrange everything
in the best manner possible for the COM
fort and health Of the pupil.
President L. RAIDER, Manager Del Nc.
Collum and Princidal ]. R. Grady. with
the other instructors, are putting in long
hours each day and, as it is a conceded
fact that all of them are business men
with exceptional executive ability, it is
safe to say with the. present prospects
that the Dickinson Business college is a
permanent fixture in our city.
The school is centrally located for a
large territory. 1t is practical, giving
just the course of training that a great
many young men and ladies in the city,
as we'll as the country, need, and, the
expense of attending good business
school at Dickinson is very much less
than it would be if the pupils were COM
PEELED to travel 400 or 900 miles, as in
the past, to obtain the same advantages.

WEATHER FOR DECEMBER.
Rev. Iri r. Hicks Predicts All Sorts OF
Disaereeable Things.

Rev Iri r. Hicks, the well known
meteorological prognosticator OF st.
Louis, Missouri. announces pro-
gram of all sorts OF disagreeable
weather for the month OF December.
Ice, snow and sleet, blizzards in the
northwest and heavy gales in the
lake region, together with real old
fashioned snowy Christmas.
DIR. Hicks forecasts might be con-
sidered seasonable. Between today
and Sunday next he expects storms
cf rain which will turn to sleet and
then to snow, passing from west to
east across the country. Billiards
may visit Medicine Hat, and the
waters OF the great lakes will be
lashed into great fury From De-
cember 6 TO q bitter cold wave may
be had and it is probable that earth
quates will he heard from in other
parts of the world.
The second storm period will De
reactionary, with titful, stormy con-
ditions. The third storm period,
from Dec. IA to 19, will be marked
with excessive storms of rain, snow
and sleet, attended and followed by
high, dangerous, winter gales, par
ticularly on the seas. Another
seismic and volcanic crisis will cen
ter on December 10, covering three
days before and after that date.
Heavy snow will be the feature in
the fourth storm period, which will
include Christmas day. In the fifth
period, from Dec. 26 to the end of
the month, there will be sudden
changes. DR.. Hicks says warmer
weather will be here Dec. %, but
that sudden change 10 blizzard
will follow He propbesies that the
old year will go out with a great cold
wave from the northwest.

A regular meeting OF the board of

CHRISTMAS IN
EVIDENCE
Local Merchants Begin Displaying
Holiday Goods and Old and
Young Commence to Look.

Three weeks:from Wednesday next
will be Christmas day, this may seem
a long time to shoppers who have
but few Christmas gifts to buy and
imagine that it can be done iu few
days. But it is.not long to merchants
who have to wait upon the many
customers who visit their stores.
In order that shoppers may become
interested in what the stores have
on hand in the line Of holiday goods
several Of the merchants have put
their wirdow decorators to work
arranging displays of holiday goods
which will be placed on sale immcdi
ately. These immediately take the
eye of prospective shoppers and
many purchases will be made early
in the month. The holiday adver-
tising has also been started 10 this
way many others are brought to the
stores before the big rush.
Almost every publication in the
country is at present advising all
Christmas shoppers to do their buy
ing early and have some feeling for
the employees and proprietors OF the
stores of the towns. BY visiting the
stores when there is no large crowds
much better service is obtained from
the clerks and better opportunity
is afforded TO look over the stock
and pick out articles.
For the past month Baraga county
merchants have been receiving con
signments of holiday goods and have
been .unpacking and p aci lg their
wares on display. All OF the Christ
mas stock is now on hand and the
stores are ready for the shoppers. 1t
will be to the advantage of pro-
spective purchasers to get busy at
once and purchase their giFts as
early as possible.
