new METHOD OF
MAKING PEARLS
WILL SOON Be AS PLENTIFUL AS The
PARK ROW COLLAR BUTTON SAYS
DEAN OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY

New York, Oct. The exist
tence of secret method of max
ing pearls, which if disclosed would
make them as plentiful and as
cheap as the Park Row collar but
ton, was told today by Prof.
Bashford Dean of Columbia uni
verify to the American Fisheries
society in session here.
In little harbor south of To-
kio, Japan, there has been pro-
duced successfully by secret pro-
cess, pearls that are of the finest
type" said Prof. Dean. when
l was at the University of Japan,
the emperor of Japan himself
opened these oysters and took
therefrom this new pearl l now
exhibit, so there is no doubt about
the genuine success of this expert
ment. But the secret has been
withheld from the emperor, other
wise the whole of the pearl in
dustry would be revolutionized.
DIR. N. Nishikawa, a graduate of
the University of Toxic, discovered
the process and left his secret to
his father-in-law, Mikemoto, one
of the most famous pearl raisers
of Japan. I surmise that the pearl
is formed by introducing scienti6-
cally a piece of mother of pearl
into the shell, around which the
pearl is conformed, taking the
place of the worm which nature
uses to form the core of the natur-
ally grown pearl"

DAKOTA POET .
COMING SOON
JAMES ". FOLEY, NORTH DAK0TA'S
FAMOUS POET TO VISIT WlLLST0N
S00N.-10 GIVE ENTERTAINMENT

James w. Foley, the poet of
North Dakota, will be in Williston
Oct. 18th and give one of his popu-
lar entertainments in Gates opera
house. Mr.. Foley is receiving a
great deal of favorable mention
through the state press on these
''evenings.'' He reads his own
inimitable verse in his own humor-
Gus sympathetic way and his au-
dience is charmed. Foley's poetry
is delightfully."- human and real,
and when the busy man gets around
to put his verses into rhimes we
will give them a place of honor on
our book shelves right beside Field
and Riley. Every loyal North
Dakotan is proud of Foley and
will appreciate the privilege of
hearing him.
We wrote Mr.. Foley a few days
ago asking him to send US cut of
himself that we might use it in
connection with this article an
nouncing his coming to the city.
He answered that he had never
had one made. What do you think
of that, poet and newspaper man,
and so blessedly modest that he
never had a cut made so as to pre-
seEt his picture to the admiring
thousands. He asked me to tell
the people that in lieu of pub
lished likness, to come and see him
in the flesh, stating that he was as
good as he looked. Without the
cut you are unable to tell how
good he looks, so you bad better
attend the entertainment on the
18th and see for yourself.

THREE YEAR OLD SON OF
c. A. JOHNSON BURNED
LITTLE BOY AND PLAYMATE WERE PLAYING in LITTLE
PLAY H0USE-MlET HAVE HAD MATCHES-PLAY
HOUSE CAUGHT FIRE AND BOY LOST LIFE

Delvin, the little three year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. g. A. John
son of Minot was burned to death
in his little play house last Friday
afternoon at 2 o'clock. The little
lad was in the playhouse with a
little playmate and it is presumed
that they had matches and in play
ing with them started the fire.
The little 5 year old girl with him,
daughter of Frank Chapman, we
understand, got out but had her
hair scorched. Her screams at
tracted attention and Mrs. John
son and several neighbors arrived
on the scene almost Immediately
but the play house was a light
frame and burned like tinder, be-
ing mass of flames when they
arrived. The little boy was burned
almost to crisp. The doctors
gave it as their opinion that he
smothered and was dead before the
flames reached him. Mr.. johnson
was not at home, being campaign
ing near New Rockford. The ira
gedy was terrible shock to Mrs.
johnson and it was thought for a
time that she would be dangerously
ill.
Mr.. and Mrs. johnson have two
other children, boy and a girl.

1 visited Old Fort Buford recent
ly and among other places I visited
at the home of John Mercer. While
there I had talk with Mr.. Mercer
and with his daughter Sarah, and
during the interview learned many
interesting facts about the early
history of the Fort.
Mr.. Mercer came to Fort Buford
in 1872 as a private soldier and
later became custodian of the COM
missary and in time custodian of
the entire barracks, valued at over
one million dollars. When the
bodies of the departed soldiers
were removed Mr.. Mercer was
called upon to take charge of the
work and handled it to the salts
faction of every one interested in
this work. The bodies were re-
moved to Fort Assinniboine, Mont.
Mr.. Mercer is now past seventy
years of age and is q very interest
ing talker when you get him
warmed up to his subject. He
now lives in the building formerly
known as the officers residence,

DIGGER IS
VICTIM OF GAS
OVERCOME WHILE WORKING AT BOTTOM
OF SIXTY FOOT HOLE--LEAVES A
YOUNG BRIDE OF one YEAR

Dogden, N. D., Oct. 3.-1rwin
T. Lyon, a young man of this place
was suffocated by gas while drilling
a we'll four miles south of town.
The we'll was sixty feet deep when
Lyon had himself let down into it
to do some work. A few minutes
later he gave the signal to be
drawn to the surface, but for some
reason he had unfastened the belt
from his body and became un-
conscious before he could put it
on again. 1t was about an hour
before the body could be brought
to the surface and all efforts to
restore life proved fruitless.
The deceased leaves a young
wife to whom he had been married
less than a year, and five-weeks-
old baby boy, besides one brother,
Emmett Lyon, here, and parents
and other relatives in Iowa to
mourn his loss. The funeral was
held Sunday, the services being in
charge of the local I. O. O. F.
Rev. J. X. Kirker of New Rock
ford preached the funeral sermon.
The remains will be shipped to
Iowa for interment. The bereaved
relatives have the sympathy of the
entire community.

NEARLY KILLED BY
CUNSH0T CHARGE
BERWICK BOY INMATE OF RUGBY HOS.
PlTAL WITH VERY BAD WOUNDS
FROM AN ACCIDENTAL SHOT

Rugby, N. D., Oct. 1.-While
out hunting with several of his
boy companions and a young man
by the name of Gus O'Neill near
Berwick, and while O'Neill was
attempting to get his automatic
shot gun into proper working or
Ger the gun discharged and the en-
tire charge of shot passed through
the back portion of the right arm
and right side of young Arnold
inficting wounds which easily
might have caused instant death,
but he is now at the Good Samari-
tan hospital. Though he has at
all times since the accident and
operation for the removal of the
charge of shot, been in precar-
ious position, it is now hoped that
he will recover. The bone of his
arm was so badly sp|intered that
it was necessary to wire it togeth-
er, and all the flesh on the back
side of the arm entirely torn off
leaving the bare bone. Passing
through the arm, the charge of
shot lodged in the flesh at the base
of the shoulder blade, the entire
charge, even the wadding used il
filling the she'll being removed by
the physicians.
O'Neill was only about six feet
away from young Arnold at the
time the gun was discharged and
it is somewhat of a mystery to the
physicians that young Arnold's
body should have been sufficient
to stop the shot from further pro
gress when the distance was so
short. Arnold is a lad about 12
years of age and O'Neill is 25
years of age and is engaged in the
hardware business.
