NEW SIS COINS.
Two and a HaIf-DoIIar Pieces Also to
Be MiIIed.

Be MiIIed.
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE minis of
Philadelphia, San Francisco and Den
yer have begun coming new SIS gold
pieces struck on a different plan from
any heretofore coined in the world.
1t follows an idea expressed to Pres
dent Roosevelt by DIR. William Stur-
gis Bigelow of Boston that to permit
the coins being piled to uniform
height, a high or strong relief might
be obtained by depressing the design
below the ED or face of the coin, in
stead of raising it above, as usual in
all coinage operations. This wodld
provide a fiat field and a uniform
thickness, the fat surface taking the
wear and protecting the relief, the
shape of the depression following the
outline of relief.
The same sign will be used on the
$50 pieces, and all will bear the I'm
God We Trust" motto.

and comforts of the gospel, and
became to scores who knew and
loved him an inspiring example
of suffering patience.
His funeral service was held
in the Baptist church Sunday
afternoon, March 13, at three
q clock, conducted by the pas
tor, Rev. l.. NJ. Waterman,
whose theme was suggested by
a passage of scripture quoted
by Deacon Gibson a few hours
before he fell asleep: Absent
from the body, present with the
Lord' II Cor. $50. The SER
vice was attended by a very
large number of friends and
fellow citizens, and the body
was laid away i'm Oak Creek
cemetery.
Mr.. Gibson is survived by
two sisters, one residing i'm
Canada and one in minnesota.
by his wife, Mrs. Penelope Glib
son, and his son, Griffith Glib

PIONEER SuccUMBS.
Thomas Gibson Died Friday After Long
and Painful Illness.

Another of the very early
settlers of Bottineau county has
passed away, in the person of
Thomas Gibson, who died Fri
day afternoon, March 13, at his
home in this city, lacking a
little over a month of being
seventy years of age.
MIR. Gibson was born in Sea-
forth, Canada, April II, 1888, at
which place he was united by
marriage with Penelope Davis,
March II, 1868. After short res
licences at Woodstock and Rap
id City, Canada, Mr.. and Mrs.
Gibson, with their son, Griffith,
came to Bottineau in July, 1885,
since which time they have
continued to reside in Bottineau
and vicinity. .........<.
In his twenty ninth year Mr..
Gibson united with the Baptist
church at Seaforth, and on his
arrival at Bottineau became a
charter member of the Baptist
church here. He was elected
one of the first deacons of the
church in Bottineau, and con-
tinued faithfully in this office
until called up higher
About thirteen years ago Mr..
Gibson became afflicted with
rheumatism, which continued
with increasing severity until
he became practically helpless

his DEATH. During these days

David Clark of this city gave
his experience as successful

Forestry told the farmers what
trees were best suited to the
soil and climate of this section,
giving also the results of ex-
periments in tree planting and
culture at the school.
While the attendance was
good it is regretted that not
more of the farmers of this
community were g, present.
