The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1907-04-18

The First National Bank of this city
has just installed a new double auto
matte electrical burglar alarm system,
manufactured and installed by the
American Bank Protection Co., Of
Minneapolis, in its vault, that is with
out question the best that money can
procure.
The vault is lined with metallic cleo
trical steel lining, which is connected
to a switch board on the inside of the
vault. There are " gongs con-
nected to the switchboard, and are so
located as to be the most effective in
giving the alarm in case the vault is
tempered with in any manner There
are two of these gongs on the outside
of the vault walls, a large n on the
outside Of the building, that a be
heard in any part of the city, and four
on the switchboard inside the vault.
A burglar, in making an attack on
this system, attempts to cut an en-
trance thru the door or vault walls
comes in contact with the electrical
lining, which Immediately turns in the
alarm. The alarm once being sound
ed, continues to ring until investiga-
ton is made by the banker, who rene
dies the trouble and readjusts the sys-
TEN.
An invitation was extended to the
public to attend a demonstration of
the working of the system this after
noon from 2 to 4 and as a consequence
the bank was crowded during that
time.
That the directors of this institution
are wide-awake and progressive, and
that they mean to give their patrons
the best protection that can be had,
there is no question. The extremely
large number of'cases Of safe breaking
over the northwest during the past
year or two prompted this outlay.
We are told the cost of installing
this system, together with the neces-
sary work on the vault, is something
over ST., OOc. 90.
The management of the bank is to be
congratulated on installing this up-to-
date system and thereby assuring alb
so]ute safety against burglary.

gone this proposition to establish a
cooperative coal dock at Ashland SO
that the farmers could secure their
coal direct from the mines through
their W cooperative company had
attracted a great deal Of enthusiasm.
He stated that the farmers eleva-
tors in North Dakota were very eager
ly Selling the opportunity to take
stock, and that there was no doubt but
what the farmer cooperative compan-
les generally would come into this
company one by one and make it one
of the biggest coal dock distributing
concerns anywhere.
Mr.. Major stated this afternoon that
this was the greatest cooperative pro-
position that had ever been preached
in the northwest, and if carried to a
successful termination that it would

tributing center for a great many pro.
ducts beside coal.

The mask ball last FRIDAY

The mask ball last Friday
under the auspices of the base
ball tossers, was a success from
every point of view. It is said to
have been the best masked ball
given in Hope in years. "The
Little. German band" was out in
full uniform and played a num-
Der of popular selections at the
front of the hall before the dance.
The boys are still sadly in need
of funds to pay last years bills
and, we understand, will give an
other dance before the ball sea-
son opens.

THEY SCALD A PEPPER.
Women Then Duck Him Until He
Nearly browns.

New York. Aug. Mrs. Harvey
Bowen saw a we'll dressed man. appar-
emily about 5 years old, crawling
about beneath the bathhouse. at the
foot of Twentieth street. Coney Island,
yesterday. Leaving the bathhouse
without alarming him. she armed
herself with a pail of scalding hot
, water. In a few minutes she heard
the man crawling about under the
compartment she was in. Without
warning she poured the steaming hot
water over the head. face and Shout
ders of the '.Peeping Tom
His yeils of pain quickly brought a
great crowd of women bathers about
the pavilion. Mrs. Bowen shouted that
the man screaming and struggling
about in the sand beneath the bath
house and almost blinded by the hot
water was a "Peeping Tom" While
the women were trying to locate him
the man wriggled out from beneath
the lighthouses and ran across the
beach IN an effort to escape. A score
of the women bathers, unhampered by
long skirts. ran after him and easily
captured him.
Lets drown him." one excited wo-
man screamed.
This seemed to be the wish of all
the other women, and the man was
dragged, yelling and struggling, to the
beach. He struck at the women who
were holding him, but only angered
them the more. He was quickly over
pow cred and dragged into the water.
Twenty or more women joined in
ducking him. The man yelled for
help. but each time he opened his
mouth he was showed under water
again. Exhausted by his own strug
giles and the repeated duckings he had
received, the man quit fighting and
was showed, pushed and beaten about
in the water by the women.
The husbands of several of the
women became alarmed when he stop
ped struggling, and rushed out and
dragged their wives away. Scarcely
able to breathe. the man was hauled
up on the beach. While lying on the
sand trying to regain his breath. the
man was repeatedly attacked by the
women bathers. who even then did
not believe he had been sufficiently
punished. 1t was some time before
Coney's first pepper of the season was
able to walk away.

AN INCUBATOR BABY.
Weighed Two and One-haIf Pounds at
Its Birth in lola.

lola, Kan, Aug 2.-Allen county has
an incubator baby which is the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Willis Wise, well
known people living two miles south of
lola. MI. Wise is employed in lola at
the carpenters trade.
The baby is being kept at ST. Johns
hospital and at the present time the
tiny infant appears to be in the best
of health.
When the baby was born, there was
no incubator at St. Johns hospital or
for hundred miles around that was
known of.
A plain dry goods box was secured
and by lining it with hot water bot
ties and placing a thermometer in it
a f1rst-class incubator was had.
For a week and one day the wee
infant has been kept in this incubator
and the fact that it has lived for this
length of time shows that the incuba-
tor is q success.
The method of care of an incubator
baby is almost the same as that used
in Matching chickens by incubator. The
incubator must be kept a tempera-
ture of about SO degrees and if through
carelessness or forgetfulness the nurse
or physician should allow the temper
allure to vary much from that point it
would probably result in the death of
the child At ST. Johns hospital the
haby has been placed in charge of one
nurse. Sister Alice who practically ey-
erv minute of her time sits beside the
incubator and keeps the temperature
at SO degrees. As food the child is
given nothing but condensed milk ev-
cry day.
At birth the infant weighed but "a
pounds and is so tiny that it could
have been placed in a quart cup. Its
head is so small that an ordinary tea
cup could easily be placed, like he'll
met, over its head. The fingers were
about one-haf inch in length. The
baby is a great curiosity at the hos
pital and everyone visiting that insti-
tuition has not gone away without first
seeing it. Mrs. Wise, mother of the
child, is now convalescing and her re-
coyery is assured.

THE prospects for business are ex-
cellent throughout the country. said
Mr.. Roberts. "I believe that the slight
check we have experienced during
the past few months has been good
thing 1t has proved beyond question
that business in this country is. on a
firm footing. Capital undoubtedly
was invested pretty near to the limit,
and the brief period of stringency
through which business has just
passed served to show that the re-
sources of the country were great
enough to withstand any temporary
pressure that over investment may
cause. The country was never in a
more prosperous condition than it is
now. and business was never on a
sounder basis

Oklahoma Republicans Are Silent on

follows: zs,--s-.zz =
For governor. Frank Frantz; lieuten-

T.; secretary of state, Thomas Robnett,
Ardmore, l. t.; attorney general, Silas
Reid, Ell Reno.
With the chief places on the state
ticket filled the Republican state con-
vention took breathing spell late last
night. Not in the history of the party
in Oklahoma has there been rendered
such an ovation to one man as that
which greeted the announcement that
Governor Frank Frantz was nominated
head of the ticket without opposition.
The delegates scrambled to their chairs
and. cheer after cheer from the 1000
ed the efforts of Chairman Murphy to
restore order. The action was not I'M
expected in view of the feeble oDpOsi-
ton but the realization seemed to
carry the convention off it's feet. There
was little fight on the other nominal
tons.
The unexpected occurred when the
Democrat constitution was eliminated
and the party merely pledged itself to
secure amendments to the document as
to its alleged Objectionable features.
The platform endorses the national and
territorial administrations, denounces
the Democrat party for its failure to
comprehend the needs of the people
or TO deal with the problems of govern
ment.'
The platform contains an antitrust
plank, favors the removal of restric-
lions from Indian lands and endorses
good roads, but remains silent on the
prohibition question.
