Since the horrible holocaust in
Cleveland, Ohio, the public

every possible precaution to
prevent recurrence of such

Today the ninth annual Dawson
County Fair comes to an end, after
three days that have proved greater
in point of attendance and interest
displayed than any previous year.
Good weather has augmented the at
tendance from all points.
A visit to the grounds demon
strates that the benefits Of an annual
agricultural display and race meet
ing are finally coming to be appre-
ciated in Dawson. While displays in
some lines are not great, taken as a
whole, the exhibits in general eclipse
those of any previous fair.
The floral hall carries an agricul-
tural exhibit that bears mute testi-
mony, greater than words can ex-
press, of the coming era Of dry farm
ing in this county. Although the
grain, vegetables and fruit are
hardly as great as last year, they are
more comprehensive in every way
and are much better quality than
anything previously shown. Belle
Prairie is strongly represented in
this department.
The women's department also
makes quite a showing, and the
many ladies visiting the fair have
spent much time viewing the works
of art and domestic displays in this
department.
Poultry has come to the front
wondrously in the last year. The
big exhibitors this season are j. r.
Widmyer, Geo. Muxlow and W. F.
Ullman, although a few pens of
other exhibitors contained fine
birds.
The cattle shown were noted prin-
cipally as the property of j. R. Wild
myer, E. FL. Kinsey and I. H. Rush
of Wibaux. Harpster Brothers also
have on exhibition the mammoth
steer, now weighing 1880 pounds, a
sight alone worth going miles to see.
A. H. Wyman and J. R. Widmyer
are the principal showers in the hog
department, Mr.. Widmyer's Duroc

kind of stock produced at the Inde-
pendent Pure Bred Farm.

crest of all visitors. Many good

the bills. Unless Metcalf had per-
sonal feeling against Wyman, why
should he, after admitting that ne
threw open the columns of the Re-
view to Wyman a couple of years
ago, take the initiative and try to
stir up that fight again after ces-
sation of nearly two years?
Men may honestly differ in opin-
ion, but when an editor attempts to
use his newspaper to try to "get ev-
en-" with another, he challenges all
that is fair between man and man,
and if he gets the worst of it, ne
ought to be man enough to admit it
in manly way, and not beg the
public sympathy by coming out af-
terward with a pack of whimpering
lies.

Young Man Laid to Rest

Friday, Sept. 4th, 1908, after a
lingering illness of consumption, Har-
rison Howard, young man 20 years
of age, died at his home near Mondak
on the Missouri river. The funeral
services were held in the Presbyterian
Church at Fairview on Saturday at
one o'clock. Many friends and rela-
tives accompanied the remains to the
church. Rev. L. S. Schermerhorn
preached the funeral sermon and the
body was laid at rest in the Fairview
cemetery
Harrison leaves father, mother,
brothers and sisters to mourn his loss.
He had made his peace with God and
had been baptised. His regret was
that he could not live to serve the
Master whom he had so recently
learned to love. While we cannot un-
derstand why God should call one just
entering upon manhood, yet we are
reconciled because of the fact that He
doeth all things we'll and His wavs
are better than our ways. Therefore
we can but wait until that great fam
lily reunion when there will be no part
ing, no pain, no sorrow, no dark val
ley of death and then we shall under
stand.

so lovingly helped and sympathized
with them during the illness and death
of their son and brother.

IN HONOR OF
MR.. RAPFITF
GREAT GATHERING OF LOCAL PEOPLE In THE MASONIC
QUARTERS ON MONDAY EVENING LAST

An epoch was marked in local
Northern Pacific railway circles by
the smoker and reception given to
Supt. J. M. Rapelje of the Rocky
Mountain Division at the Masonic Hall
on Monday evening by his many friends
and former coworkers of the old faith
full Yellowstone Division, where Mr..
Rapelje steadily forged his way to the
front until he became superintendent
of the division, only recently resigning
to accept the superintendency of the
Rocky Mountain Division.
It was spontaneous tribute, made
more distinctly so by the fact that j..
M. Rapelie was the first to work his
way up to the superintendency from
the ranks of the division employees,
all former superintendent having come
here by transfer from other positions.
Monday evening, besides the business
men of Glendive, it seemed that prac-
tically all of the railroad men were
there. From superintendent to engine
wiper. there was no break in the long
ranks come to bid a last farewell to
their former superintendent.
Ho,l. VIM. Lindsay was called away
Unexpectedly, so F. P. Leiper acted as
master of ceremonies. The entertain
ment program was in the hands OF G.
D. Hollecker, assisted by DR.. A. A.
Baker and C. A. Brooks. F. P. Flem'
ing looked after the wants of the inne1
man. assisted by Conductors A. Z
Anderson and D. C. Maxwell.
A choice program of toasts was car
ried through. Responses were made b.

The event of the evening came when
Mr.. Rapelje was presented with
Knight Templar diamond ring, set with
carat and half stone and bearing
Knight Templar notices, the gift of
the employees of the Yellowstone. The
speech of presentation was made by
General Haskell, who took for his sub
ject ''The Bulletin Board In re-
sponse Mr.. Rapelje spoke feelingly of
the great esteem expressed by the gift
by his former associates. He took oc-
casion to pass few high compliments
to the employees of the Yellowstone and
the citizens of the city stating that he
believed Glendive people and the local
railway employees were the best in the
world. While it was hard for him to
give up his home here, Mr.. Rapelje
! stated that the kindness of his former
associates would make the parting
much less bitter. In his new home in
the Garden City he would always re-
member the people of the Yellowstone
| Division as the best he had ever known.
Roadmaster Gullickson and Travel
ing Engineer Crosthwaite were also in
attendance at the reception from out
of the city.
A signal honor was conferred on the
former genial superintendent at little
meeting of the conductors in Masonic
Hall in the afternoon. The event was
one that Mr.. Rapelje must necessarily
remember as long as he lives, for ht
was presented witha life membership
by the Yellowstone Division, No. 191
Order Railway Conductors. The emb
lem presented was of enamel on sole
gold crown, a lasting memento of tn,
order of which Mr.. Rapelje was so Ions
member. Both the ring and emblem
presented were furnished by L. R
Z Barnett, the railway time Inspector.
Taken altogether, not often has an,
citizen of Glendive been favored witt
such spontaneous tributes as wer
accorded to Mr.. Rapelje Monday last
? AS before stated, the events marked a
epoch in affairs on the Yellowston
: Division, such as the recipient of tn
honors can never forget.
