AS PEARY FOUND 1T.
STORM WRECKs TOWN.

La Paz, the oldest settlement OF the
CALIFORNIA;, is in ruins. The most terri
&c storm ever known there has wrought
havoc 10 audsbout the old pueblo. Seven
lives are known already to be lost. 10
many places the water is feet deep In
the streets and some Of the thoroughfares
are channels for raging torrents. Houses
have crumbled into the food and many
thers are badly damaged. The greatest
misery exists, especially among the
poor townspeople, the m'j 1riiy Of whom
have lost everything, News from the
country districts indicates that the de-
vastAtion there bss been great. The sky
was overcast and the darkness added to
the terror of the people. Many OF them
we're convinced tbatthe end of the world
was at hand and crowded the old mis-
sion church 10 dellrlum Of fear. There
are few Americans in La Pas and none
of them has been injured.

Mr.. HARRIMAN's FUNERAL.

The body of Edward Il. Hartman
was carried yesterday from the great
house he never lived 10 see fnished and
laid In its last resting place on the
Alden, N. Y, hillside. The rulers OF
Wall street came from New York to
pay their last tribute, but the most
prominent part 10 the funeral ceremonies
was taken By the men who knew him
best as a country squire, master of the
great estate which covers 43, 900 acres
OF hill and valley in the most rng-
ged part of Orenge county.
The first service was holy communion
celebrated ct 10 q, No., by the Rev. j.
Holmes MCGuiDess for Mrs. Hartman
and her children at their home on Tower
Hill. At ii O'Clock came public
memorial service at st. Johns Church
for the employees OF the estate and
parisbiouers Of the church who, on nc
count of lack Of space, we're unable to
attend the funeral service later.
The funeral WAS private, and only
those who we're personal friends OF the
family and had received invitations from
Mrs. Hartman we're admitted.
The regular funeral service Of the
Episcopal Church was conducted by Dr..
McGainess, assisted by Rev. G.. Nelson,
srchdeaeOn OF the Cathedral of st. John
the Divine, in New York.
1t was o'clock when Archdeacou
Nelson took q handful Of earth, and,
sprinkling it over the bed of lilies that
hid the metal cssket, consigned the
body Of EdWard b. Hartman to the
earth of the spot he loved best.
Mrs. Hartman aud her children
drove home Immediately after the ceFe-
mony.
Every one of Mrs. Harrimsn's friends
in Arden aud Turner-snd they are
legion received a remembrance OF the
day when The flowers that have been az
irving by every train for the past "a hours
we're distributed. Altogether, the flow
ers would have filled three express cars
Flowers literally covered the grass out
side the church. Inside they were tank-
ed abont the altar until the fragrance 10
the little sanctuary was almost over
poweriug.
1t was at Mrs. Hsrrimsn's request
that these gifts of great men aud organi-
zltions from all parts Of the country
gere distributed abou! the neighborbood
instead of being allowed to fade. SHe
told her messengers that she knew this

Y. M. A. BANQUET.

was attended by about 160 people,
and the entertainment offered was
fine. There was a delicious menu
served under the direction Of Mine
Host Patterson and all those who
partook of it were high i'm their praise
of the character and stated that great
credit is due Mr.. Patterson for the
spread offered and for the low price
put on it. 1t was a sort of dona
ton to the association on the part
of Mr.. Patterson, as the ingredients
of the menu must have cost more
than the price charged per plate. THIS

a good spirit, and speaks wen for this

WHEN THE BACK ACHES.
A Woman Finds All Her Energy and
Ambition Slipping Away.

Bismarck women know how the
aches and pains that come when the
kidneys fail make life burden. Back
ache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy
spells, distressing urinary troubles,
all tell of sick kidneys and warn you
Of the stealthy approach of diabetes,
dropsy and Bright's disease. Doans
Kidney Pills permanently cure all
these disorders. Here is proof of it
in Bismarck woman's words:
Mrs. Mi1ley Fox, GOT Fifth street.

GOOD ADVICE REGARDING THE;
PREVENTION or COUGHS
AND COLDS. @s

II you would only fortify and
strengthen the system, the majority
of cases of coughs, colds and pneu-
monia might be avoided, These
troubles are frequently due to weak
ness, which produces q catarrhal con-
dition of the mucous membrane,
which Is an internal skin Of the body.
When this skin is weakened It be-
comes easily infected with germs,
which cause many Of the diseases to
which flesh is heir. Healthy mucous
membranes are essential safeguards
of the body's general health.
An excellent aid in the prevention
of coughs, colds, pneumonia, and such
like infection diseases, Is remedy
that will prevent or cure catarrh.
We have a remedy which we hon.
estly believe to he unsurpassed in
excellence for the prevention of
coughs, colds and all catarrhal con.
ditions. It is a prescription Of a IA
nous physician, who has an enviable
reputation of thirty years Of cures
gained through the use of this for
mula We promise to make no charge
for the medicine should it fail TO do
as we claim. We urge everybody who
has need Of such medicine to try
Rexall Mucu-Tone.
It stands to reason that we could
not afford to make such statements
and give our own personal guarantee
to this remedy If We were not prepar-
ed to prove the reasonableness Of
our claim in every particular, and We
see no reason why anyone should hes
itate to accept our offer and try it.
We have two sizes Of Rexall Mucu-
Tone, prices so cents and s1.00. Some
times a 5O4cent bottle is sufficient to
give marked relief. AS general
thing the most chronic case is re-
liewed with an average of three bot
ties. You can Obtain Rexall Remedies
in Bismarck only at our store-The
Rexall Store-Lenhart Drug Co.

A REMARKABLE CAT.

Principal R. A. Petrie Of the high
school, has a very intelligent cat nam
ed Peter. He is very fond of peanuts
which he cracks between his paws
and extracts the meats. He has tried
to crack English walnuts in the same
fashion and became very angry be-
cause he did not succeed in the op-
GRAFTON. His most intelligent trick
is the ringing of the neighbours door
bell He has been fed and 2etted by
Dorothy Moore, and is in the habit of
calling at regular intervals during the
day, and if not admitted at the back
or side doors he goes to the front
door and jumps on the handle of the
door bell until it rings. He knows
this secures admission.

he moved to the farm seven miles
south of Garrison where he is farm
ing over 400 acres. He has prospered
in the western country and is deserv-
ing of the success he has had. He
spent some time in looking over the
Tribune plant.

This little portion of our great and
glorious commonwealth has remained
in obscruity long enough and we take
pleasure In bringing it before the pub
lie eye again. Although little has
been heard from us lately we have
not been alternating, but have been
so preoccupied in striving to patch up
the big hole battered in by that dis
astrous hail storm, that We have had
little time to be neighborly and COM
municative.

SAM MEHARRY As AN ACTOR

Most people In Bismarck Will ~
to see Sam Meharry at Bijou opera
house Friday because they know
Sam" has many a good time with
him, or just to see him or meet him
once more. But those who do not
know him will te interested in know
ing what a competent critic, who has
seen Sans work repeatedly, says OF
his work on the stage. 1t will assure
these people that 1t is not altogether
old friendship that draws the crowd
to see Sam once more.
yCaryl B. Storrs, dramatic editor OF
the Minneapolis Tribune, has this to
say for him:
Sam Meharry has in abundance,
the actors most valuable post
personality. Personality consists IN
every walk of life more than most of
US realize, but the man orwoman OF
the stage must possess it to make a
genuine success. Some actors have
nothing but personality-ands succeed.
Some have everything but personality
and fail. Mr.. Meharry is exception
ally fortunate in having talent, intel
ligence, pleasing voice skillfully
US0u duu C11'S dDlAAIJ W O1Sn NP Ian
personality. He is an actor, and
good one, one whom you center your
attention upon while he Is on the
stage, for you know that he is going
to move to you, entertain you and
keep you interested in the part he Is
Interpreting.
Mr.. Meharry was for several years
a stock actor in Minneapolis and be-
came a sort of local institution. He
was a prominent member of stock
companies headed by Dick Ferris,
Ralph Stuart, T. Daniel Frawley,
Christine Hill and Jessaline Rogers,
all actors and managers of expert nnce
who appreciated Mr., Meharry's value
and refused to part with him.
Il have seen him play many parts.
from grave to gay, from lively to
severe and while he is, perhaps, most
happy in comedy roles, he can infuse
a serious character or passage of
pathos or dramatic strength withs.the
true and convincing emotion that
strikes a responsive chord In the
hearts and minds of his hearers.

Editor, Minneapolis Tribune"
