INSTALLING NEW FURNITURE.
WOrkmen Busy Placing New Furnishings in
Court House Work Rapidly Nearing End.

That the new court house for
Randall county is to have the
prettiest furniture of any public
building in the western portion
of our great state is a conceded
fact Judging from the express
sions made by those who are
supposed to know and who have
seen the new desks and furnish
ings which are now being install.

All the furniture is here with
the exception of some revolving
Office chairs and they are on the
road. Experts have arrived and
they are working hard to get
everything in their line in readi-
ness this week. Everybody is
busy and things begin to look
something like a furnished build
ing. The desks, judges stands,
jury boxes and seats for the two
court rooms are all made of solid
oak and finished with dark,
soft finish. The carving is beau
tiful and the designs are late.
Everyone who has seen them are
delighted with the effect pro
duced. The district court room
is the first to receive attention
and all the ratings, desks, stands
and such furniture in the front
part of the room were practically
complete yesterday. The work
of placing like furniture in the
county court room will be next,
after which the county clerks of
flee will receive attention. The
furniture for the remaining of
fees comes ready to be placed
and therefore not much time will
be consumed in getting the 9th
er rooms ready for occupancy.
As far as the builders are con
cerned the stairways have been
received and every available cab
met man in town has been placed
at work upon them in order tC
finish the building completely.
ThiSiS all that remains to be done
except the finishing of the paint
ing of the stairway. The heat
ing and plumbing apparatus ha,
been completed and tested. ThC
electric light man is ready to fin
ish his connections as soon a.
the furniture is all placed. Whel
these things are all completed
the work will be over and that il
only a question of a few days.
After the building is compile
ted and turned over to the com
missioners court a jubilee ant
dedication will be held at whicl
time invitations will be EXTENDED
to everybody to come and hell
celebrate. The date will be an
nouoced later.

The TickIed Child.

The idea is firmly in the minds of
many good people that laughter means
happiness. ..-.
This accounts a great deal for the
habit they have of tickling children.
II they did but know it, the wild

To hold q child so that it cannot
get away and tickle it until it screams
with laughter Is a wretched form Of

It may work untold mischief upon
the child's nervous system.
1t is quite possible to bring on an
attack Of hysteria in this way.
More than that. 1t Is bad for the

JOHN oAHLeREN PROMOTED TO
Cashier Of Scandinavian :. American
Bank Of Missoula, Montana.

John Dahlgren, former Marshall
county boy, we'll known In this city,
where, for time. he was engaged In
the real estate, loan and collection
business, is making for himself an
envitable name in the financial world.
He was one of the organizers Of the
State Bank of Baudette and during
the past two years he has been the
institutions cashier, a position which
he has filed with great efficiency and
ability. When Louis M. Olson, of this
city and Senator Stephens, of Crooks
ton, in association with local capital
lists, decided to open new bank, the
Scandinavian American Bank, at Mis-
soula, Montana, with capital OF
$50, 900, they looked around for a suit
able man to manage that big institu-
ton, and their choice fell upon Mr..
Dahlgren, whose ability as a business
man, thorough knowledge of banking
and reliability, made him just the
man for the place. Mr.. Dahlgren has
already left for Missoula to assume
the duties of cashier of this larger in
stitution, which will open it's doors in
few days, and his friends here con
gratulate him upon his promotion and
success.
Bert f. Tanberg, formerly clerk
with the Peoples Trading Co. here
more recently in business for himself
at Baudette, succeeds Mr.. Dahlgren
as cashier of the First State Bank, Of
Baudette, in which Mr. Dahlgren re
tains his interest, in fact increases it
as he and Senator Stephens have pur
chased the shares held by Messrs
Holen and Melgaard.
