New York is said to be amazed at
the small size and the queer lines and
upper works of the Half Moon, the
replica Of the ship in which Hudson
crossed the Atlantic 800 years ago.
Great size does not always insure sea-
worthiness, and some very small boats
are safer, when well handled, than
much larger craft. However, the Hall
Moons towering upper works at both
ends seem to modern mariners like
invitations to trouble. They would
prefer a yacht 65 feet long with much
lower free-board.

keeper at Inverness, near Fort Thomas,
KY, stumbled across the dead body

a cunning device that Morris had set
next his cash register to kill or wound
burglars. A coroners' jury justified
Morris and Morris declared the burglar
trap would be in its place again.

CHANGE IN MAILS
WILL HELP FARGO
Great Northeran No l Will Dis
tribute Mail From Devils Lake
to Minot-G. N. Considers Lo-
cal From Fargo to Breoken-
ridge.

Information was received at
the local postoffice this morn.
ing to the effect that mail will
again be distributed from Great
Northern train No. 1 between
Devils Lake and Minot. At
the time the new fast train
was put on BY the Great North.
ern this service was discon-
tinued at Devils Lake. This
caused a delay in getting mail
to points in North Dakota west
of Devils Lake of from twelve
to seventy-two hours. 1t was
held at Grand Forks for later
train.
The change announced today
will be of great benefit to Fargo
merchants as it means a much
closer mail connection between
this city and points to the
west of Devils Lake on the G.
N.
The information was also re-
ceived that the Great Northern
is considering a change in rum
ming trains No. Ill and 112 and
would possibly run this train
through Fargo to Breckenridge
and return.
This would give Fargo
another local train arriving in
the city in the middle of tue
day, which would be of great
benefit to the local trade be-
sides giving a better mail SER

Trains Nos. III and 112 are

Not A Technical Medical Leotule Q,

Some mi Q sappre b i n
seems to exist regarding the
address to be delivered at Wah
peton on Oct. 25th by DR., ]. N.
Mccormack, Secretary of the
State Board of Health of Ken
tucky. Many of our readers
have apparently gotten the i'm
preston that the address to be
given by this distinguished
gentleman is on technical medi-
cal subjects. We are assured,
however. that such is not the
case. DR.. Mccormack, as the
Chairman of the Organization
Committee for the American
Medical Association, is touring
the country, lecturing before
medical societies and popular
audiences in the interest of
pure food, pure drugs, better
sanitary and hygienic condi-
tions, better medical colleges
aud better doctors. He claims
that the public is as much re-
sponsible for present c on d j.
tions az are the members of the
medical profession, and he is,
therefore, specially anxious to
meet and talk with representa-
tive men in every community
which he visits. DR.. Nc Cor
mack's address will be on top.
les of vital interest to every in
telligent man and woman in
the community. We are asked
to especially urge the presence
and participation If all minis
ters, lawyers, teachers, mem
bers of women's clubs, etc.
There are no subjects which
have attracted 40 much atten.
ton and reused so much inter-
est of late as those connected
with the securing of pure food
and the lettering of sanitary
conditions. We hope that every
public-spirited citizen of our
town will make a special effort
to be present and to hear DR..
McCormack's address, as we'll
as to take part in the general
discussion which will follow.
AS an evidence of the i'm
preston which he hes made
in other states we quote from
the Tifin (Ohio) TRIBUNE as
follows:
1t is greatly to be regretted
that every man, women and
child in this county was not
present at the meeting of the
Seneca County Medical Society
last night. The lecture was
for those who are not physici-
ans as we'll as for doctors, and
should have been heard by
every one. A better and a more
interesting speaker never stood
upon the rostrum and faced a
Tiffin audience than DIR. Nc
Cormack, and a better subject
for a lecture never was given
here or anywhere else. A splen-
did specimen of manhood him
self, possessing a strong per-
sonality and that power of
magnetism that draws audi
ences to him irresistibly, DIR.
Mccormick held his hearers
rapt for over an hour.
