Districts in Stark County
to Divide s2,163.os Dickinson
Gets $3.50 Figures Given
Approximately.

State Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion. w. L. Stockwell, issued this week
the August apportionment Of state school
funds by counties. The amount avail
able for Stark county is 81, 163.0 .0s, which
is to be divided among 3,181 school
children and thus apportioned to each Of
the 10 school districts in the county.
The newly organized RAIDER township
school will not receive any funds this
time as it was not in existence when
the last enumeration was made. In Het-
tinger county there are 1.348 school
children and the apportionment is $916.-
s.. Dunn county has $612 to be divided
among 900 children, and Billings county
has 5000. "a for 1888 pupils. Ward
county receives the most, with nearly
$8, 600 and Bowman county has only
$416. "a, the smallest amount.
The following figures are not official
but the difference will be slight.
County Superintendent RAIDER had not
received official notice of the amount
coming to Stark county and consequent
ly had no figures available. The results
given were obtained by using the figures
of State Superintendent Stockwell and
the report of the county superintendent
of the last enumeration. The apportion-
ment Of each district was figured out at
SO much per scholar thus securing an
approximate total for each district. !,

ROAD QUESTION UP
Commission to Decide on Petition
on Road from the North Next
Week. Two Plans for I'm
provement to be Considered.

The county commissioners will hold
their quarterly meeting at the court house
commencing Monday. October to con-
slider the usual business. One matter of
special importance which will be de-
cided at this time is in relation to the
improvements of the main road from the
north into this city.
This road is in very bad condition. 80
bad that many of the homesteaders pre-
fer to 90 farther in distance than to use it.
In this way Dickinson merchants are
losing trade all the time which rightfully
belongs to them. n...
Only one petition in regard to the
road will be taken up. This asks that
the commissioners lay out the new road
around what is known as the Cuskelly
hill, about two miles out. To do this
it will be necessary to purchase, at a
cost of many hundred dollars, land from
the Owens Land & Cattle Co., Lloyd
RAIDER and A. P. Folsom.
The other plan, and the one favored
by Commissioner D. w. Mckenzie and
the plan endorsed by the Commercial
Club Wednesday evening, is to cut down
the Cuskelly hill and fill in the depres-
sion on this side with the material taken
from the hill and thus make it high
enough to drain off quickly and not too
much of an elevation for big teams to
make with ease. -.. .o
Commissioner Mckenzie says that it
will cost only about $3.50 to do this and
the road will then be in excellent con-
dition. The city is going to improve
the elevation within the city limits and
that will make the road one of the best
in this section, in his opinion.
The Commercial Club appointed a
committee of five to 60 before the board
and secure the latter plan if possible
The other commissioners are Andrew
Jopp of Gladstone and Fred Koesel of
Richardton. Of these one is in favor
of the plan asked for in the petition and
the other has not yet settled in his mind
which he considers the better way.
The outcome is watched with interest,
as the question is most important

WILL Y [! z HAVE RECTOR
Bishop Mann to Appoint New
Rector for St. Johns Church
Etss,s f' ~ "a -
Within Few Weeks. Arch
Dea. Jones Being Considered

(. It is expected that St. Luke's Episco-
pal church Of this city, which has been
without a rector for several months, will
soon be provided with a leader. Rt
Rev. Cameron Mann, bishop Of the
Episcopal diocese Of North Dakota, re-
turns home this week from England,
where he has been in attendance at the
Lamberth conference of bishops from all
over the world.
One of Bishop Mann IS first acts after
his return to active duties again will be
to appoint rector for St. Luke's church.
It is not known who will receive the ap-
pointment
5 Many members of the parish are in
favor of the Venerable o. F. Jones of
Bismarck, archdeacon of the diocese
Archdeacon Jones has already preached
here number of times and made very
favorable impression. It is possible for
him to take the parish and it is thought
that he would accept the appointment
He is a comparatively young man. pro-
gressive in ideas and especially strong
in building up active, healthy parishes
He has done some excellent work in the
state and it is believed by many that
he would be the right man in the right
place. .a
The parish has been without rector
since the death of Rev. c. E. Dobson
last spring and consequently the church
work has not been very active during
the summer. With the coming of new
rector, intereset will be revived and the
church again take its place in the relig-
ious life Of the city.
The church has strong woman's g
guild with a membership Of over 40
ladies, which does good work. Nearly
500 was raised by supper last week
and the ladies are now working for
their annual fair early in December.
While no church services have been held
during the summer except the first Sum
day in the month, the Sunday school
is held each Sunday and the member
ship is increasing every week All that
is needed is an energetic rector and it
is expected that he will be provided
within q few weeks

THEFT ON SPECIAL
Tom Hughes Relieved Of Big Sum
Which he had Collected on Taft
i..s F4f ss II $ts, VAR s IS; & Z,
Special from Dickinson.

One of the most exciting incidents Of
the Taft celebration at Fargo occurred on
the special train from Dickinson. Thomas
D. Hughes of Bismarck, who was in
charge Of the train, was a victim of a
bold robbery which occurred on the train
west of Fargo. i.
Mr.. Hughes, as the man in charge Of
the special. collected the fares as the
people got on at way stations between
Dickinson and Fargo and he had in his
coat pocket big sum Of money. ranging
according to different sources of infor-
nation from $2s5 to between 5000 and
500. Shortly before the train reached
Fargo Mr. Hughes put his hand in his
pocket and was astounded to find that
the money was gone. Al
+ While the train was rolling in to the
Fargo station MI. Hughes had all the
doors locked, intending to make a thor
ough search of the train before allowing
the passengers to get out n Sheriff Hunt,
however, who was at the station to well
come the slope visitors as president Of
the Fargo Taft club. stated that rather
than have the great crowd Of enthusiastic
republicans on the train put to the em-
sbarrassment Of being searched he would
personally 60 good for the amount II
necessary. He convinced MI. Hughes
that the amount would be made up and
the doors were unlocked and the crowd
poured out, many Of them entirely ignor-
ant Of the trouble : IA.

An idea not brought up before the
meeting, but which has met with great
success in the east, is the distribution
of leaflets advertising the city on all
railroad trains entering the city. A
small circular folded once, contains a
view of the city and underneath con-
else but complete statistical description
of the city, the inducements it offers,
etc. Here in Dickinson this idea might
be easily carried out. All trains wait
here ten minutes giving ample oppor-
tunity for some person to 60 through the
cars, handing circular to each passen-
ger. 1t ought not to be any more difficult
to procure permission from the Northern
Pacific than it is from the railroads in
the east and few months of such CAM
paigning would certainly give the city
widespread advertising.
The subject was discussed by num-
Der Of those present and it was voted
to appoint committee of three to look
up such advertising matter, obtain
prices, ETC., and report at the regular
meeting on October IA. The chair
appointed w. R. Everett, w. D. Kirk
man and M. l. Ayers on this committee.
j. G. Quinlivan brought up the matter
of the coming installation of Elks in
Dickinson the last of this month when
several hundred and probably as many
as q thousand Elks from all over the
state will be here. The date is not yet
set, but will be the last of October.
Elaborate plans are being made for the
entertainment of the visitors, the city
is to be gayly decorated, including fes-
toons of electric lights and other electri-
cal effects along the main streets, enter
tainments provided in the way of BAN
quets, balls, special trains to the Bad
Lands, etc. Mr.. Quinlivan explained
briefly. the plans and asked that the club
take some action in regard to cooper
ating with the Elk committees. He felt
that the presence Of 50 many prominent
people in the city would be q good way
to advertise the city and said that the
citizens ought to do their part in opening
their homes for the entertainment Of the
visitors and in decorating the city. It
was favorably, received by all, but it was
decided to appoint q committee Of three
to eo among the business men and find
out who will decorate and how extern
sively, and report at the next meeting,
October Z. At that time the appoint
ment Of other committees will be taken
up. President van der Las appointed
Mayor G. M. Frye, Frank Lish and o.
r Meyers q committee on decoration.
The chairman then brought up the
question Of improving the main road
into Dickinson from the north. He said
that III its present condition it was
turning away trade from local mechants
and that the question Of doing sorne-
thing as extremely vital The county

TWO Men
DISAPPEAR
Fischer Reported Missing in Mil.
waukee and Fischer Who Left
New York for Dickinson a
Month Ago May be Identical

Word was received here Friday even
ing of last week that Henry Fischer, a
wealthy rancher, whose home was sup
posed to be in Dickinson, had disap-
peared in Milwaukee. Wis, the day
before with nearly 50, 600 in cash in
his possession.
Fischer came to Milwaukee the pre-
ceding Saturday from Chicago, accord
ing to the story received here. and had
with him the proceeds of the sale of
several carloads of stock which he had
disposed of at the Chicago market.
He registered at the Schlitz hotel and
the next day called on an old friend
whom he had known when a boy, by
the name of Marcus Mussler. The latter
is cigar maker and the two went down
town together in the afternoon. The
last Mussler saw of his friend was at a
Grand Avenue saloon, where they
parted. Becoming alarmed at Fischer's
failure to show up. after several days.
Mussler reported the disappearance to
the Milwaukee police. Beyond these
details little else is known.
Several inquiries among local people
failed to reveal any one who had ever
heard of any Henry Fischer. There are
a number of families of that name in
this vicinity, but there is no member
having that given name and, so far as
can be learned, no member of these
families is missing. 1t may be that the
man halls from some other place than
Dickinson.
That he may have some connection
with this city, however. is more than
possible. The Milwaukee story has
brought out another mystery about a
man of the same surname, who has
been missing since September 1. A
man by the name Of Vincent Fischer.
New Yorker, left that city about Sep
tember 1, for Dickinson, N. D. Before
leaving he deposited sum of money in
New York bank to be paid to him on
his arrival here. He dropped out of
existence and has not been heard from
since.
The money lay in the New York bank
without being claimed, so last week the
officials of that bank wrote to local
parties asking if the man had shown up
here, as this was his destination. He
has not put in an appearance here,
which deepens the mystery. No trace
of him can be found since the time
he deposited the money at New York.
With two mysterious disappearance
cases involving the same name and the
same place, it is more than natural that
there should be some connection be-
tween the two. SO it is the opinion of
a number locally, that the two men are
identical. The discrepancy in the
Christian names might easily arise, as
that given in the newspaper dispatch
might be wrong. The particulars of the
Milwaukee incident have been sent to
the new York bank officials, and it is
more than likely that some investiea-
tion will be made, with view toward
establishing the two as one and the
same person. 1t is not known whether
the New York Fischer had any such sum
of money in his possession and it will
probably be some time before the
mysteries will be cleared up.

BOOMING
DICKINSON
Commercial Club Discusses Many
Live Topics for City Improve
ments at Regular Meeting
Wednesday Evening.

Advertising Dickinson and its advan-
tages, protecting the merchants by i'm
proving the roads into the city from the
surrounding country. the entertaining of
hundreds of visiting Elks the last of the
month, free delivery of mail in the city,
and the boosting of the club membership
by interesting reticent members and
those not yet members, proved wide
diversity of subjects for discussion at
the regular meeting of the Commercial
Club Wednesday evening, but the mem
bers.were equal to the demands and
handled each subject without gloves.
Many resolutions were passed which will
greatly benefit the city and its business
men.
The meeting was called to order by
Judge van der Las, about 20 being
present.
The first subject of importance taken
up was that of advertising the city of
Dickinson, its advantages and possibil-
ities At present there is no circular or
pamphlet which can be sent to outside
parties making inquiries about the city.
In a number of cities, the Commercial
Clubs have recently issued attractive
booklets, containing views of the city,
and all important statistics. These
booklets are to be obtained in hotels.
stations and public buildings and in this
way fall into the hands of people whom
it would be impossible to reach in any
other way. If Dickinson is to have
10, 1000 people in 1910. the Commercial
Club has got to induce all the outside
business corporation it can to locate in
the city, and unless there is a circular OF
booklet of some kind to spread the name
OF Dickinson all over the country, it
will be next to impossible to get before
the public.
