the autumn leaves? The valleys have

those autumn leavings. Last Mon
day this region enjoyed the first touch
OF the long lost rain. We had not

moisture waited up from the south

FAITH REWARDED
COL. JOSEPH DlcKEY VISITS BIS.
MARcK AFTER ABSENCE OF 25
YEARS AND is GLAD TO SEE
HIS PREDICTIONS AS TO ITS
GROWTH CONFIRMED.

Col. Joseph Dickey of Newburgh,
N. Y, delegate from his congress
sional district along with ex-Govern.
nor Odell to the Republican national
convention, was in the city Monday,
having came from the city OF Dickin:
son, where he has property interests.
The colonel lived in Bismarck. some
twenty-five years ago. He noticed
with pleasure the growth Of the city
and its appearance of prosperity. He
always had faith in it's future and
still holds on to the real estate he
owned when a resident. The colonel
remarked that he had a good opinion
of Dakota, even though his expert.
ence in the state had cost him some
thing. He broke about the first land
in Stark county, near Richardton, for
farming purposes.
He is prominent in New York poll.
tics. having held one of the railroad
commfssionerships for four years and
a half until legislated out of Office by
the public utilities bill of Governor
Hughes. s'
In the recent convention he was
the first one to break from Hughes
and vote for Speaker Cannon, and was
largely instrumental in bringing
about the movement in the New York
delegation that nominated Sherman
for vice president. He says sher-
mans nomination will be a tower Of
strength to the national ticket in
many ways.
Colonel Dickey was accompanied by
S. 2. Shipp, real estate dealer and
capitalist of Newburgh. He also was
pleased with the prosperous air and
the solidity of Bismarck. Both gen.
tlemen left for the east on No. A
Monday.

AT THE GEM.

The Gem theater has certainly
struck something good this week, and
as result had crowded houses Sun
day and Monday. 1t is seldom that
one meets with a comedian of the
ability of E. G.. Strickland, known as
@Hiram @. Skidder' on the stage, who
is a high priced artist who can com.
bine comedy and music to amuse his
audience. His imitation of birds and
people on the violin, his work with
the big horn and other instruments
is certainly clever and pleasing. He
will appear every night this week and
should be seen by everybody who
likes to laugh at neat, clean piece
of business.
There will be change of the bill
this evening as to pictures, among
which the tIdler," "Jim Gets a New
job aPeggie's Portraits and .Will
Grandfather Forgiven are top liners.
Percy Moore will continue to sing his
sweet songs and Miss Moore will de
light the audience with her fine piano
work. There is not stupid moment
in the show, and full houses ought to
be the rule during the week.

PRAISES / M'HARG
CHICAGO EVENING POST PAYS
4 FINE TRIBUTE TO YOUNG LAW
YER FROM THIS STATE.

The Chicago Post publishes large
picture of ormsby McHarg, formerly
of jamestown, and who represented
the Taft legal interests before the
national committee, and says of him:
Ormsby McHarg came to Chicago a
few days before the national commit
tee opened its hearings, a young law
yer, almost unknown to majority of
the committeeman and delegates who
We're the harbingers of the conven-
tion. He came with Frank H. Hitch
cock to look after the Taft cases in
the hearing on contests, and was kept
in seclusion for several days. For.
two days Mr.. Hitchcock did not even
permit his name to be known. Mr..
McHarg was busy preparing the cases
in such a way that he would have the
facts and citations in each at the
tips of his tongue and fingers.
The toll Of Mr.. McHarg and the eau
tion Of Mr.. Hitchcock bore fruit at
the first hearing before the commit
tee, and now Mr.. McHarg is one Of
the best known and most sought per-
sonages in the Republican throngs
which drift between the Coliseum and
the Congress hotel. His work has won
for him in still greater measure the
confidence and the high regard of the
Taft generals, and his advice and
opinions are desired by all who are
in pressing need of information. This
was true especially during the ses-
sion of the credentials committee i'm
mediately afterward.
. In the hearings of the national com
mittee Mr.. McHarg conducted himself
SO that he won praise from expert
enced lawyers and astute politicians.
Many of the allies friends. on the
committee admitted frankly that they
wished to vote against the Toft dele
cations. but that McHarg's presenta-
tion of the cases left them no ground
on which to favor the contestants. In
more than one instance it is admit
tel that the committee tried to help
the contestants make out case, only
to be met by the courteous yet firm
and convincing objections Of the Taft
counsellor. Y. #

No Mistake.

house. which prides itself on filling all
orders correctly, received letter from
a New Jersey customer recently say
Ing:
Gentlemen. this is the first time we
ever knew you to make mistake in
pur order. You are well aware that we
buy the very lest country eggs. The
last you sent are too poor for our trade.
What shall we do with them?'
The fair fame of the house for never
making an error seemed to be at stake,
but the bright mind of the junior part
Rer found a way out of it. He wrote:
Gentlemen: We are sorry to hear
that our last shipment did not suit you.
There was, however. no mistake on our
part. We have looked up your original
order and find that it reads as follows:
Rush fifty crates eggs. We want them
