DR.. STlCkNEY
Member Of Arranqement
Committee.

The International Congress on Tuber.
culosis which is to be held in Washing
ton, Sept. FL to Oct. IL meets every three
years, and this is the first time it has
come to this country. The last meeting
was held in Paris, France, in 1905, and
three years before that the gathering
took place in London. 1t is not likely
that the Congress will convene in the
United States for great many years, as
the honor of entertaining it is eagerly
sought by the countries abroad.
President Roosevelt has accepted the
presidency of the Congress, and the gov
ernors of the States will serve as vice
presidents. Dr. Edward L. Trudeau, of
Saranac Lake, is the honorary president.
DR.. Trudeau has had tuberculosis him
self Tor many years, and over thirty years
ago, when it first became apparent that
be had the disease, instead of composing
himself to die, he went up to the Adiron-
dacks. The outdoor treatment was Just
beginning to be advocated by German
specialists, and DR.. Trudeau tried it on
himself. He passed on the gospel OF the
method 10 others, and the great move-
ment in this country in recent years, for
the out. door treatment of tuberculosis, is
generally attributed to his initiative. 1t
has been his inspirational influence in
this direction that has won for him the
affectionate title Of the "Father of the
Open Air Treatment in America"
Governor Burke has agreed to serve
as one of the vice-presidents of the In
ternational Congress on tuberculosis.
Arrangements for North Dakota's parti-
cipation in the Congress and to the exhi-
bition to be held in connection with it
are in the hands of committee of which
DR.. H. H. Healy, Of Grand Forks, DR..
Victor H. Stickney of Dickinson, and L.
Van Es.. M. D., V. S., of Fargo, are
members.

ROBBERY At
GLADSTONE
Gladstone Mercantile Co.'s Store
Robbed. Several Hundred DOL
lars Worth of Goods Missing.
Robbers Leave no Clue

Thieves broke into the Gladstone
MERCANTILE Companys store last Sunday
night and. made away with several
hundred dollars worth of goods and
quite an amount of cash.
store by way of the coal schute to the
basement and then through trap door
into the store where more breaking was
done. The. cash; register was opened
with a hatchet and a chisel served as a
key for the slot machines.
Among the articles missing from the
store on Monday morning were: about
$50 from the slot machines, a quantity Of
change from the cash register, several
razors, 16 cases of pocket knives, all of
the jewelry in the case, including rings,
pins, watch chains, bracelets and six
watches. They armed themselves with
all of the revolvers in stock and took
plenty of ammunition, also took two re-
volvers belonging to Q. A. Deitsche.
The thieves packed a part of their
plunder in Gladstone hand satchel
which they took from the shelf. They
took the keys of the slot machine and
cash register, possibly thinking they
could be used again. Several boxes OF
crackers were left on the back steps Of
the store but the robbers took with them
BE- good quantity of cigars.
b; Most Of the jewelry was made by the
Mercantile Jewelry Co., some by E. v.
Roddin. The razors were the "Keen
Kutter" brand, and Hackett, Walter,
Gates Co. stamp, the knives were the
same. The revolvers were Colts, Smith
& Wessop and Hopkins & Allen. The
safe was opened but nothing of value
was taken.
It is thought that there were four men
in the party and that they took a hike
into the country south for the. new Mil
waukee. Two suspicious looking charac.
tiers were seen near the Antelope creek
bridge by farmers coming to town but
when search was made for them they
were not to be located.
The Gladstone Mercantile Co.'s loss
amounts to over 5000 and the company
offers reward of $50 for the apprehen-
sion of the thieves.

TAYLOR DISASTER

He assisted in the drug store a good
share of the time during the past two
wears. A brother, r. S. Brookings of
Richardton, and brother.in.law, Mr..
Van Antwerp of Yankton, S. D.,
were present at the funeral and arranged
to have the remains shipped to Yankton,
where the burial took place later in the
week. Mr.. Brookings wass in this city
last Friday evening.
The work of picking up the pieces is
already we'll started. Mr. Christen has
re-opened in the Knute Overgaard
building, with an entirely new stock, and
already doing business again. The
postoffice is located in the office of the
Nassett Land Co., and the Taylor State
bank is doing business in the room back
of the posteffce. Baker & Sons are
shelving the parlor in the old hotel, where
they will try to meet their customers
demands until better arrangements can
be made.
The Taylor State bank will put up a
brick building, 25x6o feet, as soon as the
ing will furnish quarters for the bank,
postoffice and drug store, and barber
shop in the basement
J. F. Christen intends to put up another
store building as soon as possible and
Baker & Sons will either build for them
selves or rent building that will be
suitable for general store purposes.
The fire puts bad crimp in the little
town but its location on the railroad in
the center of an excellent farming
country, its past history as a hustling
little place and its enterprising people, is
a sufficient guarantee that Taylor will
soon outgrow this disaster, build up
better than before and keep we'll up in
line with her sister towns.

The residents of Taylor wish to thank
most sincerely the members of the Dick

who volunteered their services last
