Total ECLIPSE of Sun.

A total eclipse Of the sun is scheduled
to appear on Thursday, June 18th,
visible in all portions of the United
States, except the extreme southern
part. The eclipse will start in eastern
Iowa about 6:10 o'clock p. m. and
continue until after sunset. As the
sun will not set until about 9 o'clock
here, North Dakotans will be able to
view it when the sun is pretty we'll
obscured. The last total eclipse of the
sun occurred in 1869. This eclipse
will be remembered by many people
who yet speak of the queer experience
and it is an event which yet figures
largely in the folk lore of the south
land. The south during the latter days
of the sixties was poverty stricken
from ravages of war. and when dark
ness enveloped the land at MONDAY,
the people of the ignorant classes,
especially the newly-freed slaves were
cowed by the effect of the phenomena
and fell to earth in prayer thinking the
eve of a terrible calamity was upon
them. Chickens went to roost and
cocks crowed. Bats and owls and
other birds which fly by night appeared
and candles and lamps were lighted. in
the dwellings,. The eclipse predicted
for June 18th is to be total and will
he a renroduction 0f the ono in 1860
The occasion will afford rare ex-
perience for residents and all who have
witnessed total eclipse of the sun
state that they can never forget it.

SENT TO REFORM SCHOOL
Harvey Willard Is Sent There on Or
der Of District Court.

Harvey Willard was taken to the
reform school at Mandan yesterday by
Deputy Sheriff Huffman. The young
lad has been indulging in petty thieyery
a good deal of late. j. w. Bush had
his steel duck boat taken from the rear
Of his residence some time ago. Last
week he inserted an ad. in The Times
and on Friday was put wise to where
his boat was taken. Young Willard
was seen to haul the boat on the road
running west when some one came
along with buggy and thought they
were doing q charitable act in helping
the boy haul it to the river. There it
was hid beneath the bridge for awhile
and afterwards Willard went down
stream about five miles and there
stranded the boat. This is where Jut.
Bush and Jim Hunter found it.
On investigation it was found that
a lot Of cutlery was missing from the
Brown & Slocum hardware, and Mr..
Bush had a warrant sworn out for the
arrest of the lad. On preliminary hear
ing he was turned over to district court
and he was taken before Judge Allen
at Forman and remanded to the reform
school.
It is stated that the lad came here
from the reform school at st. Cloud,
Minn., where he has served time. His
father lathed in the new buildings here
last summer and is now at Verona.
His sister, Mrs. johnson, lives in the
Dyer house.

HARRY S. OLIVER
DEAD AT LISBON
One of Prominent Men of the
State and Present Post
master of Home Town.
Had Much to Do with Early
Political Organization in
North Dakota.

Harry S. Oliver, aged 54 years, post
master of Lisbon, for a number of
years member of the state legisla-
ture, one of the best known Masons in
the state and pioneer Of North Da-
kota, died at his home in Lisbon at
1920 Friday night. The cause of his
death was cancer of the stomach.
He was born in Chautauqua county,
New York, July q, 1855, and was the
youngest in a family Of eleven. His
parents were natives of England. He
moved to North Dakota in 1880, set
Ting on farm near Lisbon. He has
owned and run this farm either by
hiring an overseer or by tenant ever
since but Of late years had made his
home in Lisbon where he had a fine
residence. He is survived by his wife
and two sons, Fred and Harry.
He served as a member of the terri
torial legislature in 1885 and 1886, has
served in various county offices and
served two terms in the state legis-
lature as representative. He was the
author of the famous "open wheat
market bill' which provided for the
right of an individual to erect ele-
vators and by his active work in po-
litical affairs achieved great deal of
good for the state as a whole and es-
pecially for the agriculturalists.
Oliver county of this state was
named after him. He was staunch re-
publican and his bitterest political
enemy could not find a spot in his
character to besmirch.
Mr.. Oliver was a Past Grand Com
mander- of the Grand Commandery of
the state Of North Dakota, and for
years has been one of the best known
and most active Masons of the state.
He was also q member of the Ancient
Order Of United Workmen, Modern
Woodmen Of America and the Royal
Arcanum. ~,

Granite Shower.

The Misses Stella Wilkins and 10
Peterson entertained the B. o. BIS.
and their gentlemen friends last Thurs
day evening in honor of Miss Pearle
Fenton and Mr.. James Nichols.
The shower was given at the home
of Miss Peterson and was complete
surprise to the two in whose honor it
was given. After the guests had ar
rived the young ladies were concealed
behind sheets stretched across the
room and given large red hearts with
gold numbers upon them. The gentle
men were handed slips of paper indicat-
ing their choice, and chose their
hearts in turn, thus securing their
partners for the evening. Slips of
paper were then passed and each couple
asked to do a number of amusing
things. After following these diver
sions for awhile thin board was passed
to the boys, and thread, needles and
black and white crepe paper to the
girls, and each couple asked for a
bridegroom, the men to cut it out and
the ladies to dress it. This proved
to be the most popular amusement of
the evening and bridegrooms of every
description were turned out. Miss
Maybell Tyrrell secured the prize for
the best one, though her bridegroom
wore a four-in-hand tie with full dress
suit, and was challenged by young
lady whose bridegroom wore the
correct tie, but had no feet, due to
Joe Bunday's cutting.
Tables were set with place cards in
white with tiny brass bells attached,
and dainty lunch was served. Games
were played until late hour when 9
large clothes basket wes pulled into
the center Of the room and Miss Fen
ton asked to take charge. The basket
contained a fine array Of blue granite
ware, and the original toasts attached
to each piece afforded amusement fol
all. Everyone had splendid time and
the hostesses are to be congratulated
upon the success of their undertaking.

Instances are common enough where
dogs and horses and even cats have
been instrumental in saving human
life, but this is the first instance in
the writer's knowledge Of such re-
markable actions by rat.
One of the two boys Of a Danish
family Of four named Nelson living In
southern Wisconsin was given q white
rat. named Whitley. which became so
contented that 1t never attempted to
run away. Notwithstanding that it was
given the run of the house.
Before retiring one night the hus-
band filled the bedroom stove with
soft coal. At about 3 o'clock in the
morning Mrs. Nelson was disturbed
by something pulling and scratching
at her hand and wrist and awoke to
find the room filed with gas and
Whitley squealing and jumping on the
floor beside her. She was so nause-
ated and weak that she could do no
more than roll Off to the floor and
crawl to the stairs. When attempting
to descend she fell to the bottom, her
head resting near the front door. The
cold draft entering under the door
finally reused her. and her screams for
help brought the neighbors, who re-
vived her husband.
Whitley died peacefully year later,
and friend Of the family diagnosed
the case as ono Of gout.-Chicago Rec
