A Buffalo Roast

From Casselton Reporter:
Through the courtesy Of Hon.
Frank Lynch, the owner Of what
is said to be one of the largest
buffaloesi nthe country the people
of Casselton and vicinity will en-
joy a treat next week, in the
shape of buffalo meat. Buffalo
meat is considered a delicacy by
gourmands and good feeders of
all nations, but on account of it's
scarcity is seldom seen on the
menu of even the most noted
caterers, although elmonico and
other caterers of national repu-
tation are willing to pay enor-
nous prices for this delicacy,
some even offering as high as
four dollars per pound for it, if
it could be obtained.
The buffalo has been corn fed
for a number of months, and
now weighs about 1000 pounds
and is in excellent condition.
The hair on the head and neck is
very long and thick and the hide
ia in prime condition The hide
will be tanned and the head
mounted by ]. D. Allen, the cele-
brated taxidermist of Mandan,
N. D. The head, when mounted
will be worth in the neighbor-
hood of $1,000 and the robe will
be worth about $500.
The animal will be paraded
next Monday about one o'clock,
he will be weighed, have his pic
ture taken and will then be con
Quoted to the slaughter house of
VIM. Echernach, where the
noble beast will meet death at
the hands of the executioner.
After the death agonies have
ceased, Professor Echternach
and his able assistant, Mr.. Frank
fSpooner, will proceed to divest
the body of the head and the
hide and prepare the carcass for
consumption. The meat Of the
buffalo will be distributed, free
of charge, to the residents of
Casselton and vicinity on Thurs
day the Oath day of January,
and the head, hide and carcass
will be on exhibition at the meat
market from the date killed I'M
til Thursday.
All those who wish to have a
cut Of delicious buffalo meat are
invited to call at Vim. Echter-
nach's meat market on the above
mentioned date and take advant.

The Teddy Bear Fad

Social philosophers, says the
Washington Star, are somewhat
puzzled just at present by the
Teddy Bear" fad that is raging
in certain cities.
Women are to be seen parading
streets, riding in street cars and
in other public places with these
Teddy Bears affectionately
clasped in their arms, howevr,
the little cloth bears are more &C
ceptable than most pet dogs to
the sterner sex and since women
must have something on which
to lavish their affections which
they cannot bestow upon their
children or husband because it is
of that particular class called
love for pets" which, perhaps,
was engendered by the rag doll
craze, let US not discourage her in
the adoption of this fad. Perhaps
the Teddy Bear marks the
progression from the poodle hab-
it to an awakening for child love,
a progression to be devoutly
wished.
Whether it is a sort of femme
rebuke on account Of our presi-
dents fondness for killing bear,
social philosophers have not de-
.cided. Some genius has foreseen
an opportunity and has embraced
it. Nearly every girl has cult
waited a fondness for pets through
the doll habit and many are loath
to give up their dolls when they
begin to wear long dresses and
this innovation of the Teddy
Bear" gives them a chance to
love their dollies'' as in child
hood days without being accused
Of being too girlish. Some girls
refuse to become divorced from
Etheir "dollies" and long after
are ashamed to play with
them in public, they go to their
private rooms and dress and ca
ress the inanimate little things
and talk baby talk to them.

A Warning

When T. M. Roberts, the sup
ply man, Of Minneapolis, failed
some years ago, people were sur
prised to learn that he owed man
facturers large amounts for
goods. he always sold for cash
and it was supposed that he
bought his goods for cash. Now
comes the Commercial Bulletin
with a statement that Sears, Roe
buck & Co. Of Chicago, owe some
thing over $11,0oo,000 to trades
men, customers, employees and
in open accounts. The firm has
been trying to sell$9,0 00,0 900 pre-
ferred stock for some months
and has not yet met with very
good success. This firm has
been offering to take deposits
from customers all over the coun-
try and pay interest on same, and
has probably secured a large a.
mount of money, as the Bulletin
shows they owe customers and
employees 1914, 673.47. It seems
like a risky proposition for farm
ers to loan money to concerns
hundreds Of miles away, and a.
bout whom they know SO little,
but it seems some do it. Tx.

ness and will pay 8 cents for

MORE TAXES FOR VIRGINIA

Acknowledgement Anderson has
served notice that he would appear
before the State Corporation CON-
mission and ask to have the
amount of the assessment against
the railroads of Virginia increased
on roadbed, right of way and
trackage.
The Attorney General argued
to show hat the valuation of the
property was too low, especially
when compared with farm lands
and other property. As it is the
duty of the commission to fix an
nually the assessment against the
railroads, the question of acting
upon the suggestion OF the Attor-
ney-General ls a pertinent one.
Major Anderson quotes figures
showing that the roadbed, track
age and right of way are valued at
about $4,000 per mile, while the
bonded debt represents four times
that amount, and the earnings per
mile are considerably mors than
100000.

Insists on Resigning as EXPOSE
tIon Manager

Insists on HeSi2u1nR as EApoSl-
tIon Manager
The refusal OF Mr. James NJ. Barr to
withdraw his resignation as director
general of the jamestown Exposition
has left the management Of the fair in
a chaotic condition. No director or
other Exposition officer can be found
who will venture a prediction as to the
final outcome of the unsettled affairs.
Following the issuance of Mr.. Barr's
letter Monday the resignation OF John
A. Wakefield as director of concessions
and admissions, and also that Of II. f..
Sherwood, chief Of that department,
were handed in. 1t is also said that
the designations OF Stephen w. Bolles
as director Of advertising, and W. NJ q.
Dixon as assistant TO the director-gener-
al are also ready.
Mr.. Bars announcement in his let
ter that he cannot serve as director
general under conditions existing, and
his statement that he was morally
bouGd to serve the Exposition as di
rector-general ii the conditions i'm
posed by him, accepted by the Exposi-
ton and incorporated in its bylaws,
were recognized and enforced, were
construed by some to mean that he
will yet reconsider should he receive
assurances that the conditions will be
enforced.
Mr.. Barr claims the right to the ab
solute management of the social affairs
of the Exposition, under tho conditions
imposed by him and accepted by the
Exposition.
