New Garage Buildine.

If Oakes had more men like E. w.
Bittman the chisel and hammer and
saw would be working over time. Ed.
is never happy unless he is engineering
some new enterprise for the benefit of
the city.
This time it is new garage building.
Sol. Hunter has the contract for exca-
waiting the basement and the work was
commenced Monday morning on the lots
just east of the present garage. The
building will be 5OxsO, two stories in
front and full basement. The front
will be of pressed brick and the back
walls of limestone brick. The ground
floor will be used for garage purposes,
with the exception of one corner in front,
which will be used for other business.
Ritterbush & Son have the building
contract.
Mr.. Bittman also has plans for an
other building across the way, to be rs
foot front by 60 deep, two stories.
This is also certainty if money will
only loosen up a little.

and he was held here until Tuesday
morning when Sheriff Drew took him
to the county Jail at Glendale. He
will be returned to the authorities of
South Dakota.
Eli and Arthur Buro are sons of Matt
Buro, well-to-do Finlander of Lowell
township. Eli is married and is living
on one of his fathers farms just across
the state line. If Eli RECEIVERS it is not
thought the matter will be hard pressed
against the brother. The latter was
just crazy from squirrel whiskey and
did not realize what he was doing.

son of Brown county took charge Of

The Plucky Eight.

The o. D. B. Club put in busy week
Of vacation. On Wednesday they went
to Cogswell. Train was late, night
cold and stormy. They met pleasant
people and had fine time, but did not
clear expenses. Encouraged by Mr..
McCulley and few others they secured
the hall for Saturday April 4th. They
covered the town with handbills and
worked diligently for three days to pre-
pare number of new features for this
program.
The high school girls, who had
helped them before, again worked with
as much interest for the boys as before.
Saturday evening they were greeted by
a good house, and tho the program was
long, every number was encored. The
marches, the clubs, the drills were better
than before. The stage was decorated
with red and white. The boys wore
red shirts with white letters across the
front. From the belt, which supported
the knickerbockers, there fluttered
long streamers Of red and white ribbon.
The high school girls also wore the club
colors- Miss Sunie Smith gave Yam
kee character monologue, Ruth Nichols,
darkey girl monologue, Miss Cora
Moore, male character "of Jack" who
had 'proved it", Leta Foot, male char
acter monologue Charles Good Night,
Hilda Huffman, reading "That Boy
Of Ours" Mrs. Waterman Chapin's
Sermon on Profaneness.
Ross Mccartney took the house with
his impersonation of the Seminole Chief.
AS an encore he gave War Dance,
not emitting the war whoop. His make
up was immense. Bennie Ferris and
Hugh Fenton in their stage quarrel,
made a big hit. AS an encore they
gave an exercise with the clubs which
was also encored. AS darkey COM
median, Emil Bell won still more honor,
and again as the old lady and old gent,
he and Addison are strictly up.to-date.
Bennie Ferris as girl, certainly is "the
limit" and as pretty as a picture. Ross
Mccartney was hid under the table and
certainly did justice to the good things
he managed to confscate. Earl Huff
man, Harry Ferris and Fred lesson gave
new and fine readings.
Fred Ferris again acted as stage d.
rector and there was not hitch in the
program.
The president, Hughie Fenton.
thanked the audience in behalf of the
O. D. BIS. and made several happy
hits.
Well, we like the boys and hope they
keep up their record.
They tell US they owe vote of
thanks to the business men who
encouraged them, especially Mr.. Nc
Culley. Had it not been for him they
would not "have come again." Also to
Mr.. Bittman who gave them the hall,
Fred Ferris who gave his services, all
the young ladies who assisted with
readings and music and to Mrs. Water
man who led them and drilled them in
everything.

STABS BROTHER
ALMOST MORTALLY
While in Drunken Frenzy Arthur
Buro Attacks With Knife.
His Brother Ell the Victim Of Several Viciou,
Thrusts.. ..WouId.Be Murderer Now in
Brown County Jail.

Arthur Buro, of Ludden, now Ian
guishes in the county jail at Ellendale
for the stabbing of his brother, Eli, at
the home Of the latter Friday after
noon.
From the information at hand,
Arthur and two friends had been drink
ing heavily of whiskey and alcohol
mixed. On the way home Arthur
stopped in the field where his brother
was at work and made demand for
some money that was owing him. Eli
said he could pay the money if he
would go to the house with him, but
the brother insisted on getting it right
there, and when he couldn't get il
viciously attacked Eli with jackknife.
The latter received three bad cuts, one
in the abdomen, one in the shoulde,
and one in the breast. The one in the
abdomen was rather dangerous and the
first reports were that the injured man
could not live, but the doctors report
that he will recover.
This occurred about 4:30 in the after
noon. After the assault Arthur made
for his home on this side of the state
line. He got within mile or SO of his
fathers home and there fell asleep and
later in the night made his way to his
bedroom. About twelve clock Deputy
Sheriff Huffman of this city received 8
telephone message from Deputy Leigh
at Hecla asking him to arrest Arthu,
Buro at his home in Lowell township.
Mr.. Huffman went there and found his
man in bed fast asleep and brought
him to Oakes.
On being questioned about the matte,
next day he disclaimed all knowledge
Of the affair. He was very cheerful
and did not seem to think of the ser

Farm Weeds and How to Get Rid
of Them.

Merricourt Valley News.
The railways of the northwest at a
considerable expense are constantly
studying and testing new methods and
devices, with view of benefitting the
farmers.
Truly the railroads have more in
mind than the farmer, while they are
studying and spending money, they
look some to their own interests. They
know if the farmer gets good yield
and good quality of grain, he is likely
to ship more than he would if the yield
was low and the grade poor and the
amount shipped is what is of particular
interest to the railroad.
l consider any method of treating
the land or the grain or any device for
such treatment which is recommended
by railway company, worthy of in
vestigating. There are several reasons
for thinking SO. Few individuals can
afford to 20 to the expense that they
do experimenting and testing.
Our general freight department has
sent me two copies of pamphlet, en-
titled Eradication of Farm Weeds" 1
should be glad to show any one inter-
ested.
Things of this nature approved or
recommended by parties who are inter-
ested as railway companies are in this
matter, I should feel more safe to give
a trial than if its good qualities had
only been shown by the parties having
the article to sell.
Sulphate of iron is the principle of
the destroyer, and besides the absolute
disappearance Of such weeds as wild
mustard it is great disinfectant and
prevents disease.

The young men of the city have
formed Mutual Improvement Club.
They went around with constitution
last week and large number signed
for membership. Twenty-eight of them
came together in the large room up
stairs in the Kennedy block on Monday
evening and organized by the election
of Wilson Coulter, president, Niles
Bong, vice president, Chas. Kroman,
secretary, Ira Denning, treasurer,
Rev. R. T. Fulton, chaplain. Com
mittees were appointed on membership,
rooms, athlstics, literary endsfe,igisss:
The purpose is to promote physical
and educational development among
our young men. A gymnasium will be
furnished and library started and if
the girls are real good perhaps they can
have lookin once in a while. Ittakes
three dollars to join and one dollar per
month to be in good standing.
It is laudable purpose and should
be encouraged by the business men as
well as the home.
The club has already booked the
course of the Columbian;L Lyceum Bureau

Youth and Old Age.
columbia Is, CD State.D

NSolltiiDid 70. ~ oldlc.J
There is an undeniable advantage
which youth has over old age, that is,
the prospect it offers of d long life.
When we look forward to three-Scorc
and ten from the end of our second
decade, what an immense distance
away it seems. But one year fol-
lows the other with ever increasing
velocity, and at 40 we feel that we
have reached the summit of our LIES
journey, and that hencctorth the path
leads ever downward toward the dark
great beyond which we cannot see. In
surancc companies have a most dis
agreeable habit of issuing little cards
that give the probabilities Of life after
each decade, and it is startling to find
how these chances diminish after that
middle ground is passed. We have a
way of binding ourselves to such dis
agreeable facts regarding the cnd of
our career, and these impairment sta
tistics awaken US from our dream of
security to d realization Of how very
few years more we can have, even I'M
der the most favorable circumstances.
And yet, with all our unWillingneSS
to quit these scenes of earth, we Won
der how many would avail themselves
of the privilege Of returning to their
youth and living life all over again, if
it were possible for it to be given us.
We fancy the number who would
seize the chance with eagerness would
be but small. BY the time we reach
old age so much of the "bloom" has
been brushed from life that it has
greatly lost its charm for us. We are
so conscious of the many failures we
have made. we remember so many
disappOintmcnts and sorrowS we have
had-even though they have lost much
of their keenness noW-that we would
not have the courage to face it all
again. 1t is a happy thing for hu-
manity that the love Of life generally
diminishes as our hold upon it weak

Panama,s Coming Election.

They have presidential election
down in the little republic of Panama
in July. but it does not seem to be at
tracing great attention. The total
population of the republic is only
about half that of the State of Maine
and its two principal cities, one at
either cnl IF the canal zone, are pretty
much under American control. The
Panama government has notified the
government at Washington that it
wants representatives of the United
States Oh the spot when the election
tallcs place to see that the election is
a fair one Most of the voters of the
little republic are Spanish Americans
and these people, as has been demon
stratcd over and over in Central and
to- maintain stable government with
out outside assistance. Plainly the
Panama government is afraid that
fraud or force will be resortcd to to
influence the approaching election or
that the defeated party will proceed
to start a revolution after the votes
arc counted.
From the first the little republic of
Panama has been a special protcgee of
Uncle Sam ana no doubt it will be
seen to. in one way or another, that
the coming election is peaceful and
properly conducted. Cuba, when
left to its own resources, quickly
demonstrated that it could not con-
duct an honest election, and it is not
unlikely that when another Cuban re-
public is set up there will be Il pro-
vision for American supervision at all
presidential elections so that there will
be no excuse for revolution. The COM
ing election in Panama is a minor
matter and no doubt the strong arm
of Uncle Sam will be used quietly but
firmly to guarantee that things are
conducted as they should be.
