over one HUNDRED .s
DOLLARS REALIZED

The sick babies and children in this
vicinity whose parents cannot give them
the proper care will have place at the
Stein hospital where they can be given
the best of nursing at no expense to
their parents. This was assured by the
success which Dickinson s first tag day
under the auspices of the Dorcas So
ciety. received from the, citizens on
Monday. The ladies realized over .$11O
from the sale of tags and this money
will 70 toward establishing free chill
dren's bed at the hospital. AT first only
a small bed was thought of but the
funds will warrant putting in a full
sized bed. ,.4
Although Monday was not a very
pleasant day. the club members were
out bright and early with armsful of
tags and it is safe to say that few
people escaped. There were very few
instances where refusal was met with
and many bought several tags and others
paid bonus for their tags. from
quarter to five dollars. There were two
or three sold at the latter price. At
the trains the tags sold readily when
the purpose was explained and tourists
were more than willing to do their share
when asked.
Mrs. L. A. Simpson and Mrs. Jessie
Wood were at the postoffice and visited
the stores and Offices. Mrs. j. w.
Bowen, Mrs. S. M. Ferris looked after
the St. Charles and the buildings in that
vicinity. Mrs. S. L. Carroll and Mrs.
Lloyd Dow canvassed the residences
and Mrs. T. j. Greene offered tags for
sale in T. j. Greene & Go. 8 drug store.
The bed will be established at once
and the running expenses will be borne
by the club. Whatever the cost is for
the treatment of patients who are de-
serving of the assistance it will be
paid to the hospital authorities by the
club so that there will be no expense to
the patient. The club will raise the
money for the necessary expenses in
various ways

NINE MONTHS OF SCHOOL

The New Hradec school district is one
Of the most progressive rural 3districts
in Stark county and at its regular meet
ing Tuesday. the school board decided
upon a number of changes which will
improve the standard of it's schools still
more.
The most important advancement
made is in extending the terms Of
school in each of the five schools of the
district to nine months each year.
Arrangements were also made for install
ling Waterbury Heating and Venti-
]ating system in all the school build
ings. Richardton. Taylor, Gladstone.
South Heart. Alpha. Plum Creek and
Belfield districts all have these systems
in use and they have proven very salts

by the beginning of the fall and winter
terms practically every school in the
county will be equipped with this
method of heating and ventilating. The
New Hladec school buildings are also to
be painted and all necessary repairs
made.
The standard Of teachers in this dis
trict is high as the, New Hradec board.
which includes Joseph Ridl, jeff Nc
Donald and Jacob Boehm. with Thomas
Ridl as clerk and Anton Burda treasurer,
believes in good salaries and the teach
ers are paid the highest wages of any
rural district in the county. This makes
the obtaining of excellent teachers an
easy matter.

FEDERAL INSPECTOR
MAY LOCATE here

Motana has passed a law, requiring
that all animals coming into that
state must be accompanied by a Ger
tificate or charts showing that they have
been given the tuberculin or mallein
test This applies. to- all cattle. sheep
or other animals which are taken into
that state and as may be seen. makes
lot Of extra work as it takes about 20
hours to carry out all parts Of the test.
According to a statement credited to
D.. Knowles. the Montana state veter-
iarian, there is a possibility that a
federal inspector will be located in
Dickinson and in Marmarth to make
these tests. These are practically the
last towns in the state where an in
spection can be made, as they are di-
vision points of the railroad.
d.. H. Anderson. who is the state
inspeetor for this section Of North
Dakota has not yet received any notice
that such appointments are to be made.
He has been making this test at this
point but it is not part of his state
work. Practically the only benefit in
having federal inspector here would
be that settlers and emigrants going
into Montana would be relieved of the
burden of expense of having the test
made. As it stands now, d. Ander-
son is paid the regular fees and it is up
to the owner of the stock to settle for
them. He is Obliged to pay before his
stock can enter Montana.
A federal inspector would do the
work free Of charge as the government
makes Inspections without charge and
also destroys the carcasses of animals
condemned. This would eliminate the
burden of the cost for fees which is
imposed on the small settler. The cost
of the test is SIS for the first animal, ST
each for all up to and including ten and
so cents for all thereafter. This makes
it costly for the settler with or head
of cattle and horses.
An inspector is Greatly needed at
Marmarth as there is no one there to
make the tests. A whole trainload of
stock was recently held up there several
days until a veterinary could be secured.

Mary Eta Powers. ;.

Mrs. Smith Powers died at her home
on South Main street 10 this city early
last Sunday morning and was buried on
the following day in the Hendricks
cemetery, 3 miles southeast OF town,
after funeral services conducted at the
Christian church by Rev. Hogan,
Mrs. Powers was seized nearly three
months ago with a disease that baftled
the skill Of the best physicians available,
and for some weeks the hopelessness of
her fight against its ravages had been
evident. She could take no uourish.
ment OF any kind, and this circumstance
weakened her till her constitution Of
fered little resistance to the malady.
About two weeks ago she seemed to
have rallied to certain extent, but this
slight advantage was soon lost and from
that time she sank rapidly to the end.
Mary Eta Powers was born in Han
cock county, Ills, July 8, 1865. Her
parents came to Jasper county when she
was only two years old. On Nov. %,
1882, she was married to Smith Powers,
who, with son, Fred, whose home is
here, survives her. Another child. Lily,
died in infancy. Besides husband and
son she is survived by sister, Mrs.
VIM. McClintock and brother, Chas.
Davis, both OF Jasper.
Mrs. Powers was woman OF unusual
charm to those who knew her, and en-
joyed a much larger circle of friends
than is the lot Of most mortals. The
respect and esteem in which she was so
generally held received expression in the
great number who attended the funeral
and accompanied the remains to their
last resting place. She was member of
the South Methodist church, but owing
to the limited capacity OF that church
the funeral was held at the Christian
church.

is pretty safe to say most Of US are sur
prised to learn even that there are that

The picking of so many loose coins
from the mail boxes not ouly results in
needless hardship and suffering to car
riers in winter weather, delays the de-
livery and collection OF the mails, but
frequently results in actual money loss
to the carriers, for if, in collecting the
coins they drop them into the snow or
on the ground and cannot recover them,
they are required to replace the amount
out OF their own funds.

PROTECTION TO CLERKS
Fargo Letter Handler Has an unfor.

TinseI Cards.

That recent order issued by the post
office department, barring tinseled
postal cards from the mails unless en-
closed in an envelope, is done in pro-
lection of the clerks in department
service, and not merely for the sake
of issuing an order is proven by the
fact that clerk employed at the To-
cal office was poisoned by tinseI from
a highly decorated card. Laid up
twice. forced to undergo an operation
and endure untold agony-these were
the fruits Of being poisoned by deco
ration from a card which was dropped

Fargo's Navigating club is against
pile bridges being constructed in the
Red river. Owners of launches. the
only form of craft that is used on the
river outside of row boats. are dame
tricaIly opposed to hampering the free
flow of the river. While no organiza.

perfected as yet, it is quite likely that
they will get together early this sea

the owners to the present foot bridge
