MORE DEATHS IN
COUNTY FOR MAY

The regular monthly report of the
state board of health. showing the vital
statistics for May, has just been issued.
The report shows 679 births and 264
deaths. In Stark county the record is
not as good as past months. there hav-
ina been Is births and IL deaths. Very
few OF the deaths were persons living
in Dickinson or even Stark county.
The month was quite remarkable for
the number of people from other nearby
counties who died in Dickinson and it is
safe to say that practically all are of
this nature.
Dunn county has a good record of IA
births and 3 deaths. Down in HettingeI
county it was births and five deaths.
There is no report from Adams county,
Billings county reports two deaths only
and Bowman county simply one birth.
Of the CONTAGIOUS diseases for the
state. the figures show: tuberculosis,
five cases and three deaths: smallpox.
fifty-four cases but no deaths; typhoid
fever. four cases but no deaths; 'diph-
iberia, forty-seven cases, with one death
scarlet fever, ninety-one cases with two
deaths: measles, fifty cases and no
deaths .whooping cough. six cases and

ST. THOMAS CHURCH
At GLADSTONE BURNS

During the heavy rain storm of Friday
evening. June Is. lightning struck the
spire of st. Thomas church at Gladstone
and set it on fire. The blaze started
at about 9 40 o'clock and, although men
were summoned by H. N. Putnam, oper-
ator at the depot, and membels of the
work train crew, in ten minutes from
the time the fire was discovered, the
lack of fire fighting material left them
practically helpless and they were
forced to stand back and see the build
ing burn to the ground. By hard hust-
ling it was possible TO save most of the
furnishings and ,statuary.
This church was. built in 1884 by the
Congregational society and was sold
in 1894 to the Catholics Of Gladstone and
vicinity. This is quite loss to the
church members as they carried but a
small insurance. They are all hopeful,
however, of rebuilding in, the near
future on new site in the eastern part
of the village The structure will pro-
badly be of brick. The society will be
thankful for donations to help them iii
the work. 1t seems about time that
Gladstone tried to procure ladders and
other appartus to use in case of fire.

BR0DIE WORKS UP Rep.
AS EXPERT AUTO DRIVER

A certain citizen of Scranton received
a letter from friend in Dickinson
telling his experience about an auto
mobile trip he made with J. F. Brodie
from Scranton to that point some time
ago, and in part is as follows: First
must tell you that Brodie has got them
all skun when it comes to running an
auto. He is regular Barney Oldfield.
We got over the ground something in
the manner of flying squirrel. Start
ing off of butte we would gradually
increase our speed until finally we would
leave the ground and drift over against
the side of the next butte. and when
we reached. the top of that we would
repeat the performance. We took things
cool. though, and did not try to 60 any
faster than fifty miles an hour until we
got within about fifteen miles of town.
when Mr.. Brodie discovered the gaso-
line tube was leaking. He got out and
did the best he could to tape it up. and
succeeded partially, but it still continued
to leak some, so he got in and said
something about Dickinson or bust
and then we proceeded to make the re-
cord in the Vanderbilt Cup race look
like peanuts in lake shore fog. We
made one mile in nothing and after
that didn't keep track as l was busy
holding my lid on. Suffice to say that
we didn't bust and got into Dickinson
before the gasoline gave out.

year or so, wish to express my thanks
to you all for the two months of pleas
ure have enjoyed among you. l want
to thank you also for the confidence you

Here is hoping we will meet in Tam
arindo in January when the roses bloom

SECRETARY BLAIsDEL
EARNEST Believer

II am more in favor of woman
suffrage than ever before declared
Alfred Blaisdell, secretary of state Of
North Dakota, who has just returned
to the state after an extended tour Of
the British Isles. Mr. Blaisdell in
discussing the suffrage movement in
England admitted that his views had
been Greatly influenced by the scenes
in London within the past few weeks.
he was in London when some of the
greatest demonstrations for woman
suffrage took place.
1T is surprising that so many men
should associate themselves with the
women in this movement, said Mr..
Blaisdell. and to his mind this was
the most significant feature of the
present agitation for universal suffrage
in England.
He ventured the opinion that the
movement would spread to this country
before many more years and in support
OF his view called attention to the fact
tnat Enallsh women are more domestic
than our own and with a suffraeette
movement in domestic England why
not a similar and more momentous
oAuSSAV VI VIC same k10O In America
where women already are accorded more
freedom of thought and action than in
any other part of the world
The July number of the American
Magazine has an article entitled Votes
for Women" that should be read by
every woman in America. It would
seem that Prof. Thomas has said the
last word on woman's right to equal
suffrage.
After vetoing the teachers equal pay
bill, Mayor Mcclellan of New York. has
appointed committee,t consisting ex-
clusively of men to investigate the
needs Of the women teachers. It would
have been good idea to put on that
committee at least one woman, and q
woman who is or has been a teacher.

mayor if he had appointed committee

THE BEST FAMILY NEWSPAPER

An ideal newspaper for the American
home must be habitually clean and
high minded. it must offer something of
interest to every member of the family,
and it must present daily the news of
the whole world in authentic and
readable form. A large contract, you
will say. Well, the newspaper that
comes nearest to filling it in the west is
The Chicago Record Herald. Its moral
tone is always high, its news service
is unsurpassed. and probably no other
paper in the United States has so bril-
liant an array of special features suited
to the tastes and needs of every member
of the family.
Business and professional men have
long REGARDED The Record Herald as the
best paper for their own reading be-
cause of its unequaled faculty for get
ting all the news of the world and put
ting it into the briefest possible form
for the busy man. They also esteem it
for the reliability of its financial,
agricultural and market reports Young
men perhaps find its greatest attrationc
in the excellent sporting department,
which fills four entire pages on Sunday
and page or more on other days.
Wives and mothers emphatically prefer
The Record Herald on account Of its
well-conducted feminine departments
its daily recipes and menus, it's daily
fashion news and hints for home Dress
making, Mme Qui Wives pungent and
sensible beauty talks. Marion Harland's

never lost hope until the deciding in
ming.
Mandan opened the game by making
one run and in the third two more.
With the score to 0 it looked bad for
Dickinson but the third inning was
lucky one. Freeman made safe hit to
first but was caught at second and Davis.
Howell and Williams all knocked good
ones. Hughes struck out but RAIDER and
Kostelecky both made safe hits. Christ
ensen also struck out. This inning
brought in four runs and the score was
to in Dickinson favor. giving the
fans hope again.
In the fourth Mandan tied the score.
No more runs were made until the
seventh when Mandan crossed the plate
again and their supporters were jubilant.
But Dickinson tied the score at to

were full of excitement, neither side
being able to score the winning point.
Two men out and Davis on second, was
the situation for Dickinson in the
eleventh Hughes walked to first and

three men on bases. Kostelecky then
sent a dandy safe hit to the outfeld,
