MILITIA COMPANY
FOR GRAND FORKS
STRONG AGITATION IN SECOND
CITY M STATE MAY RESULT
IN SUCCESS TO MOVEMENT.

Grand Forks, N. D.. Aug. e.-Grand
Forks is going to have a militia COM
pany and not so very far in the future,
according to some OF those who are be-
hind the movement. Strong agitation
for a militia company in the city has
been in progress since early this spring
and matters are now shaping them
seleves around satisfactorily. There
are two methods open, one is the form
ing Of a new second regiment, the first
regiment now being full, and second,
the forming OF a new battelion OF four
companies. Governor Burke II is un-
derstood. favors a new regiment, but
this is thought to be too big an un-
dertaking.
Three other towns are anxious to
secure military companies, and there
will be little difficulty in pushing the
matter through to a successful con-
clusion. Adjutant General Peake and
Major Frame of Grafton are enthu-
siastic supporters Of the plan to es-
tablish a company in Grand Forks.
II is certain that the people here want
a company, this fact being brought
out by the demonstration which greet
ed the national guard here during
fair week, and the many remarks of
that's what Grand Forks ought to
have"

INSULT TO AMERICAN FLAG.
National Guard Not Fairly Treated by
the Grand Forks Fair Managers.

National Guard Not Fairly Treated by
the Grand Forks Fair Managers.
Editor Stickley of the Kenmare
Journal, who is a member of the
First Regiment band, n. d. N c.,
makes the following comment on one
incident that happened at the Grand
Forks fair.
One incident occurred, however,
which caused considerable comment
and adverse feeling. The coming Of
the First Infantry band and militia
had been advertised as a feature of
the fair. We were still on duty and
our last dress parade was necessary.
This was to be featured before the
grandstand. Just as the battalion
was formed for dress parade the man
ager of the vaudeville stunts put
on a trapeze performance and order
ed the Grand Forks band to play
which they did all through our maneu-
vers. All this could have been over
looked had they quit when the Star
Spangled Banner was played and re-
treat sounded-but they did not This
is positively an insult to the flag, for
every American citizen is supposed to
come to attention upon the playing of
the national hymn. The fair COM
mittee came to headquarters and apol-
ogized and explained, thereby shifting
the blame to the vaudeville manager

HAIL LOSS REPORTS
STILL COMING in
MANY FARMERS LOSE THEIR EN-.
TIRE cR0P-DAMAGE IN RAM
sEY COUNTY EXTENSIVE.

Devils Lake. N. n, Aug. s.-Reports
that are steadily coming In as to the
damage done by Wednesdays hail
seem to show that the total loss has
been very much underestimate, and
that the first stories cid not tell more
than half of the destruction.
The region closely around Garske
seems to have been the worst affected
of any. From the present outlook. ii
seems that the hail struck in a two
mile wide band, running north from
the Regan Catholic church. One plot
Of land belonging to Angus Mcdonnell
and being farmed by W. /. Thielen,
contained nearly a section of standing
grain and stood right in the, center of
the storm. When the cloud finished its
work. two thirds of the grain was a
total loss, and the rest will probably
not do more than pay the expense of
threshing. Henry BAKERS farm, in the
same strip, had about half a section
in grain, and the hail cleaned IL all.
The individual instances that are
reported so far, seem TO be only
small part OF the wide effect of the
storm.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
THE VALUE or A SMILE.

Low many shrewd women earning
: their living appreciate the busi-
ness value of a smile? Mighty few
II YOU count the number OF sour faces,
the chilly, repellent manners and the
short answers you hear in Offices.
One young woman who has been
rapidly promoted is neither brilliant
nor anything out OF the ordinary. She
ts merely living ray OF sunshine.
They like to have her around tha
once.
This does not mean that she talks
a lot and wastes the time of those who
are busy. No, indeed: that would
hardly be appreciated. she says very,
little, but she always looks pleasant
and agreeable People like to ask her
to do things She has such sweet
smile, such willing manner.
In the opposite way have seen wo-
men or undoubted cleverness grow old
In inferior positions because they were

anything to do with them.

stay that way, The muscles grow stiff
and unaccustomed to quick motion. On
the contrary, quick response to emo
ton makes the skin thin and flexible,
the muscles keenly alive.
You see this quality of being alert
in the faces Of actresses, who have to
pretend, at least. all kinds OF feeling,
and the opposite in the countenances
Of peasant women. who live close TO
the soil and become heavy and emo

NORTH DAKOTA
ROMANCE ENDS
DIVORCED TO WE'D EACH OTHER,
NOW ASK LIBERTY IN NEW
YORK COURTS.

New York, Aug s.-Mrs. Edythe A.
Mcfarland. through counsel, applied to
Judge Brady in the supreme court to-
day for alimony pending the determin-
alton of suit for annulment of mar
riage brought against her by William
S. Mcfarland and for fee to enable
her to defend the action. The motion
was opposed by. counsel for McFar-
land, and Judge Brady reserved deci-
sion.
About twelve years ago Mcfarland
and his wife were married to other
persons. They met and fell in love
with each other, with the result that
both of them went to Monroe, n. D.,
where they took up residences, with the
object Of obtaining divorces.
Both DEGREES were granted, and Nc
Farland married the defendant in the
suit now pending. Mrs. Mcfarland in
her. papers, says she paid the expenses
of both the North Dakota divorces.
They lived together for a few years
and then separated, Mcfarland agree
ing to pay her fixed allowance for her
support. He kept up his payments one
year.
rlNS years ago hTS- MCfarland sued
out warrant for his arrest for nom
support, and he then agreed to keep
up his payments, but did not keep his
promise.
Mcfarland has now brought suit for
the annulment of his marriage on the
ground that when he married her she
had husband living from whom she
had not been legally divorced in ac-
cordance with the, laws of the state of
New York. He maintains that the
North Dakota divorce was invalid.
Mrs. Mcfarland. on the other hand
maintains that the Dakota divorce was
good, and that he was perfectly aware
of the reasons why she obtained 1t, and
accepted 1t as valid when he married
her.

MODIFIEDDRAWBACK
IS VERY LIKELY.
MocuM5ER MAY BE PERSUADED
BY THE WORKINGS OF BOND
ING PRIVILEGE.

Washington, Aug. s.-The bonding
privilege in the new tariff law will
lnure TO the benefit of the big -four
millers Of the country. those Of Mime
apolis with the others. The smaller
millers win be unable to operate un-
der IL. because of the size Of their cap
ital. This act will be depended upon
next winter TO bring Senator McCum-
ber of North Dakota into line or the
kind of a drawback law which the big
millers want.
BY the time Mr. McCumber has heard
from the small millers of his state, to
say nothing Of those of neighboring
states, IL Is predicted that he will be
more nearly than at present in a frame
OF mind to meet the demand for a
draw back half way. Unless he does,
the small miIlers might as well say
good bye TO good part of their bust
ness. This Is the way the situation is
being figured out here.
The small millers will go to Mr.. Nc
Cumber saying: The bonding privi-
lege gives the big millers an advantage
over us. We should have something
in the way of a drawback which will
help us retain our business"
Should the North Dakota senator be
willing TO meet the drawback people
half way. 1t is certain that some salts
factory agreement can be arranged
for legislation that will not hurt the
wheat growers while helping the flour
trade
1t is we'll understood that this draw
back question is to occupy the time of
congress next session. Chairman Payne
Of the ways and means committee, has
said to Minnesota house members since
the close of congress that the north
west did not get a fair deal in the
drawback matter. that he will be
ready to take the subject up next win
ter.
Senator Aldrich has said the same
thing. Both aver that the question
came up at time when 1t was too
late for the conferees to get full un-
derstanding of It, engrossed as they
were with the weightier matters Of the
tariff bill. And so, rather han do some
thing that might not be right, they
did nothing. Next session, however,
they will have a thorough understand
ing of the question, and they have
promised to do what they can to see
that the northwest is given fair treat
ment.

A BAD ACCIDENT.
Took Place In Williston When Autos
Meet.

NtGGIs
Williston, NJ D., Aug. e.-What
might have been fatal collision 11ap-
pened when Mrs. Rawson with their
new Buick and Sheriff Ben Olson's
jackson came together in front Of the
City Feed store on Broadway. II
seems that Art Stanton was turning
around on East Broadway and Mrs.
Rawson was going east, just as Mr..
Stanton was near the sidewalk Mrs.
Rawson was ready to pass and the
collision happened. Both machines
came to a standstill and the Buick
machine against the Jackson front
wheel, and the little son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Rawson was thrown over the
front of the auto into Olsorl's machine
and got a severe cut on the forehead
and smaller scratch on the cheek.
AT this writing there appears to be
no other injuries received by the other
occupants of the machine. Mrs. Raw
son and Mr.. Stanton received no SER
ious injury but were well shaken up.
The little boy was taken to his home
and DIR. Dotcherman called to dress
the bruises. Outside OF the smashing
up oe the two machines In the front
parts there was no damage done 10
them. Taken into consideration the
meeting Of the two machines, 1t is a
wonder that the little boy did not get
more seriously injured.
