/, j ith Chronic Coughs Need vinol,
1T Stops the Cough and Cures the
Il Cause.
This is the season for coughs and
colds, and for the benefit Of Union
City people one of the proprietors Of
the Red Gross Drug Store tells them
the best means for cure.
He says: 'sTake Vinol, our real cod
liver preparation without oil. 1t does
not upset the stomach like cough syr-
ups, and it is much more effective.
Vinol is not a palliative but curative.
This is because Vinol contains in a
highly concentrated form all of the
healing, strength creating and medici-
nal elements of cod liver oil actually
taken from fresh Gods hvers, with all
the useless, nauseating oil eliminated
and tonic iron added. 1t tastes fine,
and cannot upset the weakest stom-
ach, hence Its wonderful power TO cure.
We ask every person in Union City
who has chronic cough or hard cold
to try Vinol on our guarantee. The

Morgan erhine Co. Interior Receiv-
ing Finishing Touches.


What is to be handsome and
elaborate retail department estab-
lishment are the stores of Morgan
Verhine Co., now nearing the stage
of completion as far as the interior
is concerned. The double front
which has been formerly used by
them for clothing, furnishing goods
and shoes hasS been. completely
transformed in plan and appear
'ance. The partition has been re-
moved and a portion of the upstairs
floor taken out to make room for a
balcony. This balcony increases
the salesroon space to the extent
derived from the three rooms occu-
pied heretofore. Under the balcony
in the rear Of the building is the
shoe department, lighted by addi-
tiona1 window capacity facing the
park. The space of this depart
ment has not been decreased, but
has been improved and better
equipped in every way-more con-
venient and decidedly better adapt
ed to the business.
The balcony is reached BY a large
double stairway. This department
is to be used for millinery and
ready-made garms'fa} for ladies and
misses. 1t is a. be s.expensively
carpeted and fl ie9ads. The floor

SCORES OFFICER
Judge Davis Gives Policeman Advice
on How to Make Arrests,

Minot, N. D., Oct. S.-Declaring that
for a police officer to assault a citizen
is most cowardly act and typical
OF the way they do things in Russia
but not in America, Judge Nehemiah
Davis scored Mic Thilgen, who plead
ed guilty to assaulting a railroad
man on the streets of Minot.
Mic Thilgren recognized that he had
done wrong and Immediately after
the commission OF the crime decided
to plead guilty. This saved the coun-
ty much expense and evidenced a re-
formatory disposition on the part of
Mr.. Thilgren, and for this reason the
judge was lenient with him, filming
him $25 and costs. amounting to s25
Mic walked over to his companions
and wrote out a check for $50, hand
ing it to Clerk OF Court Ray Hopkins.
In pronouncing sentence Judge Da-
Wis said that Thilgren had pleaded
guilty to assaulting a man who was
his prisoner. This. the fudge said.

ed the most severe penalty. He said

BLOOD SPILLED IN
DRUNKEN BRAWL
Adrian, N. D., Scene of a Bad
Stabbing Affray-one
Man Under Arrest

Adrian, n. D., Oct S-This quiet
little town was aroused by bad stab
bling affair in which several were
mixed. Erwin Davidson. the 20-year-
old son OF Isaiah Davidson Of this
place, got bad wound in his back
near his kidneys and is in great suf-
fering. He was at once taken to
doctor in Dickey and while he is not
yet entirely out of danger, he is doing
nicely.
Jim Aggie. who is accused of doing
the stabbing, was taken to LaMoure
by Sheriff Cruden and put in the lock-
up there where he is awaiting his
hearing. Another party by the name
OF Duncon is going around in badly
battered up shape. 1t seems that
there was bad blood between the
Davidson brothers and Aggie and Dun
con and this was the final windup.
Whether more arrests, will follow
yet remains to be seen.
1t NAV be that booze had something
to do with it and it is very likely
that the states attorney will get busy
and investigate.

WHAT THE ADVANCE
AGENTS SAY
The National Opera Company.

The comic opera success, "Ermin-
ie," which has endured for many sea-
sons, will be the offering at the Met
ropolitan theatre on Monday, October
~, when the National Opera company
appears for two nights. This popular
opera has always appealed to music
lovers as the charms of it's music and
the crisp story Interestingly told,
hold patent sway over its auditors.
The organization presenting this most
capable one and is under the direc-
ton of Messrs. Shelly and Hunting
ton, whose long careers in the oper-
attic field both as managers and pro-
ducers, and in one at least (Hunting-
toni as comedian, vouchsafes per-
Torrance second to none in its line.
The cast is G. notable one, compris-
and chorus OF pretty girls with
voices las is not the case in many
musical attractions). The manage
ment of the National Opera company
have insisted that the chorus not only
be attractive in looks, but the possess
sors OF good singing voices. The re-
suit is an ensemble of we'll blended
voices and at the same time a feast
to the vision. The dressing of the
opera has been given special atten-
ton and consequently there is care
full blending OF harmonious colors
which adds much interest in perfor-
mances of this kind. A wealth OF seem
cry and light effects combine in COM
pleting a production worthy the name
of comic opera. Incidental to the OPP
era will be introduced a novel diver
tisement entitled "The Orange Bal
let" Dutch dance given in wooden
shoes, and selections from the latest
operate hits. 1t is safe to say this
attraction will be the leading musical
event of the present season and
should no doubt, and will attract a
large and intelligent audience. The
opera for Tuesday night will be Of
fenbach's masterpiece. "The Grand
Duchess"

WOMAN ROBBED.

Minot, N. D., Oct. s.-Mrs. Becker
was robbed OF $50 on the 500 train
between Drake and Balfour. She got
on the train at Drake, holding pock-
etbook containing $50.
She took seat and did not move
until she arrived, when at Balfour
she started to get of. Then she no.
ticed that her pocketbook was gone
and with 1t the money. 1t is thought
that ptckpocket jerked the pocket
book out of her hand.

BURNING LAKE,

Many attempts were made to obtain
a good photograph of the burning oil
we'll, situated in the San Geronimo
field, about seventy-fve miles south
west of Tanpico, Mexico, but the
smoky conditions of the atmosphere
gave bad results in most cases. One
fairly good view was taken at a dis
lance OF about one mile from the
great column of flame and smoke
Only a faint conception can be had
from the photograph OF the fire. The
conflagration started on July and
burned fer two months before it could
be extinguished. 1t is conservatively
estimated that not less than five mil
lion barrels of. oil were burned dur
ing that period, an estimated loss of
five million dollars. 1t was the great
est oil fire in the history OF the world
Long before the fire was extinguished
the original we'll had been completely
obliterated and crevase 700 feet
wide and reaching to depth OF 1900
feet had taken its place. 1t was
through this big outlet that oil poured
forth from the inner regions.
The great fire was extinguished In
novel manner. Six powerful :centri-
fugal pumps were installed and a
large quantity of dynamite taken to
the scene of the fire. In addition to
the force of worhmen employed by
the owners of the oil field, the Mexi-
can government sent 500 soldiers to
the place to assist in extinguishing
the flames. For two weeks the six
centrifugal pumps forced steady
streams of mud and water into the
miniature volcano and were supple
mented at intervals by heavy charges
of dynamite around the rim of the
crater. Finally the big crevasse was
momentarily choked and the fire ex-
tinguished. Immediately thereafter
the oil poured forth in greater VOL
ume than before.
A new problem now confronts the
owners Of the spouting oil volcano.
How can the product be saved? The
soldiers and other laborers hastily
build levees around the adjacent de-
preston in the ground and the oil
now was turned into this earthen res
eryoir. 1t was quickly filled to its
full capacity of two million barrels
and the oil overlooked the levees and
much of it was wasted by running off
into adjacent lagoons before a second
earthen reservoir could be prepared
for 1t.

INSANE FROM sKAGs
A 17.Year.Old Boy Set Back Ten
Years Mentally.

st. Louis, Oct. S.-The habitual con-
sumption OF cigarettes in large guam
titles has turned back the hands OF
time ten years in the mental life OF
Max Zillman, according to city hos
pital physicians who are observing
the case. Max is the 17-year-old boy
who was sent to the hospital observa-
ton ward fby his father, Ike Zillman.
Of 1905 Carr street.
He is suffering from species of
garette smoking. For four years he
has exhibited weak mind and for
three weeks he has been palpably
unbalanced mentally. His ailment is
diagnosed as juvenile dementia.
Though II years old and almost
grown physically. the boys mentality
has been reduced to that OF child
6 or years old.
He Has Smoked Five Years.
Max, according to his own state
ment, has smoked cigarettes about
five years. When he was sent to the
hospital his parents said nothing
about his smoking. DR.. Rodney H.
Bunch, assistant superintendent, who
has charge of the observation cases,
noticed the yellow stains on the boys
fingers. Max at first denied being a
smoker, but later admitted it.
II never kept track OF the cigaret-
ties 1 smoked" Max told DIR. Bunch,
"but smoked for four or five years,
and l smoked cigarettes that come in
packages OF twenty. i usually smok-
ed two packs day."
On this basis the boy consumed pos
sibly $4,000 cigarettes. and certainly
smoked not fewer than $4,000.
The boy probably never was strong
mentally. and he now wants things
to play with and talks about childish
things. aI4
Parents Didn't Know II.
1t was not until few days before
ho was taken to the hospital that the
parents OF Zillman knew that he
smoked cigarettes. Then. on sugges-
ton OF a neighbor, they gave the boy
a pipe, hoping to stop his cigarette
smoking, but he did not like the pipe
and refused to smoke it. He gave II
to his mother and asked her to- smoke
it.
At the age of 10 years, Max began
to show q weak mind and was taken
out OF school. Since that time he has
held various positions as an errand
boy, but did not stay long at any
place. He also sold papers on the
street. Since being placed in the hos
pital he has shown an aversion to
clothes. and his hospital raiment has
been sewed on him to keep him from
removing it.

RAILROAD Hello
FOR ACCIDENT
Blame for Killing of Little
Fargo Girl as Fixed by.
Coroner's Jury

Fargo, N. D.. Oct S.-The inquest
touching the death of little Helen
Marie Schunke, who was run over by
freight car on the Great Northern
at the Tenth street crossing last Mon
day. and who succumbed to the In
juries she received few hours aft
erwards, has been completed. The
taking of the evidence was completed
Monday night, but the jury was in
session later to consider its verdict
and after considerable reviewing of
the evidence and deliheration Of all
the circumstances returned the fol-
lowing verdict:
Eve find that Helen Marie Schunke
came to her death on the third day
of October, 1905, by being knocked
down by and run over by freight
car on the Great Northern railroad at
the Tenth street crossing in the city
OF Fargo; county OF Cass, N. D. BY
the evidence we find that the Great
Northern company is guilty of gross
negligence in failing to provide prop
er safeguards for the protection of
human life at this crossing.
1--WE would impress upon the city
authorities the immediate necessity
of providing flagmen or gates, or
both, at the Eighth street and Tenth
street crossings of the Great North
ern railroad in this city, to prevent
a recurrence of this very deplorable
affair, especially in view of the fact
that large school house is located in
close proximity to both OF these
crossings.
