since THE Red Mill" began to re-

One of the conspicuous novelties
associated with The Red Mill'' is thl
fact that the action of the play take:
place in Holland. During the past
dozen years or more the American
stage has been well provided witt
productions symbolic in scenic sur
rOundings with nearly all the countrie!
of the globe but it is believed tina
THE Red Mill is the first play, 4
least of any considerable pretentiOn
devoted exclusively to the representa-
ton of the Dutch and their country
This no doubt seems a bit strangt
when one takes into consideration III,
early history of the United States; tn
, first settlers of which, particularly il
the state of New York. were mostl'
from Holland. Many of the bes
names of the empire state are {

What About IL?

How can one figure out that the sale of liquor in town helms that town?
 It takes the simplest kind of reasoning to prove that the ga. loon lessens the capacity of work. CTS; 1t reduces the purchasing power for the things that good honest men have to sell, and which are necessities to the neo. pie to make them comfortable We've always contended that the sobermen pay the National drink Dill, for the drinkers have little property to be taxed; they contri bute little or nothing for the malntainance of the very class of people that produces the crimi. nals, idiots, poor insane feeble. minded. It seems to us like that IS as plain as the nose on ones face.
 Wherever prohibition has been tried 1t has brought about bet ter financial standing than it had when saloons were in evidence Look at Maine. Look at Kansas Look at Hot Springs which claims an increase of $20O.000 deposits lu her banks because the lid was put on her gambling dens. Where would they run if she would clear herself of the other dens of infa. my?
 SEe would have proud and prosperous and happy people, as well as good living and money in the banks.

Family Friend Dead.

There were several moist eyes
among the boys of the city when they
learned Sunday morning that Roy. the
pet pony which belongs to the little
boys of ]. D. Bacon. had died during
the night. The pony was q family
pet in the Bacon household. having
been purchased ten years ago. 1t had
been the almost daily companion of
Myron Bacon and his younger broth
er Keith since they became large
enough to ride. But while the pony
belonged to these boys in fact. it was
largely the property OF the boys Of the
city, and anywhere from two to a
dozen of them would be found in the
cart whenever the pony was In use.
Its gentleness and dog-like disposition
made It pet which could be trusted
and even the smallest child was safe
on its back or behind 1t In a cart. It
had grown to be loved as family pet
and the spirit which comes from the
Kindness of humanity to the lower
animals was illustrated today in the
impressive burial which was given the
dead pet on the Lilac Hedge farm.

ate members of society who rare de-
prived of the sense of hearing and
speech, has endeared him to the boys
and girls he has enabled to
communicate with the world, and to
live in the light of intelligence. Mr..
Fisher is devoted to the work of the
school and long before he became con-
nected with it in an official way, was
one of its most devoted and earnest
friends. Even his political enemies
gladly admit that Governor Burke

Farmers, Road official.

T. 5. Dunn, general manager of the
Farmers railroad. was in the city last
night from Devils Lake. and stated
that the celebrated line which was
built by the farmers of the country
through which IT passes, would GER
tainly have the best season in it's his
tory. Last year and the year pre-
ceiing. the line was extended and
number of new towns were built, many
of which are now not only prospering,
but are large business centres. The
freight required for these towns and
the grain which the more thoroughly
developed country is producing, is
giving the road which was once sort
of joke sufficient business to justify
the introduction of standard railroad
ing methods. Mr. Dunn quit the Great
Northern. where he held a lucrative
position to assume the general man
agement Of the Farmers road and
since that time he has made things
hum on the only entirely North Da-
kota line.
