What Ho! A Steam Laundry!

At last Beach is to have a mod
ern steam laundry-something
which has long been needed, and
which. we believe, will be easily
supported. At the present time
large quantities Of laundry work
are done out Of town, that, with
the right kind of laundry, could
be just as we'll cared for here at
home. S. Vetch has let the con-
tract to C. E. Chadderdon for the
erection Of a building on the
west side of Blanch street. south
west Of the High school, the
structure to be 2lx42, l6 feet
high, with boiler and engine
room in the rear l2x24 feet.
Work on the building has as al
ready been commenced. machinery
has been ordered. and probably
within thirty days the new laun-
dry will be in operation. Then.
if the work satisfies as easily as
some Of the foreign stuff which
we have seen. there will be no
doubt about the success Of the
plant.

BELF|ELD TIMES
ON DIVISION
Editor Of Popular Stark County Pa.
per Givss3nis Views Of Question
Before Billings County Voters

The division of Billings county
will come up for the people of
that county to vote on at the elec.
tion in November. A division has
been agitated for some months
past and organizers from different
parts of the county have been
working hard to push their
different proposed divisions into
the limelight and gain the peo-
ple's favor.
So far we have taken no part in
the controversy, although we have
of late been keeping in close
touch with the several proposed
divisions and the workings Of
their organizers. and as a great
many Of our readers are residents
Of Billings county we deem it our
duty to put it clearly before
them, so they will not be mislead
by any false idea or misconstrue
the real situation, as it is of
vital Importance.
We were misinformed at first,
being told that the southern part
of Billings county was almost
solid for Roosevelt.Butte county
division, but have later learned
through our exchanges and other
sources that instead it is solid for
Slope. Golden Valley county di-
vision, with the exception of just
a few.
There are four projects to be
voted on, viz: Golden Valley,
Slope, Butte and Roosevelt.
AS great many Of our readers
have not had an opportunity to
become acquainted with the
different propositions, we publish
the map above showing two of the
proposed new counties, and these
are the only ones that can win, as
the others conflict with one an
other and would kill any division
if they all carried.
This map shows the Golden VAL
ley and Slope projects, and being
that they do not conflict with one
another, and at the same time be-
ing a fair division of Billings
county. their promoters are busy
working together and success
seems now assured. The Golden
Valley people and the Slope or.
ganizers have held numerous
meetings, and are carrying on
an active campaign. A great
many Of the people in the terri
tory to remain as Billings county
are also favorable to this division,
as it is fair to all parts Of the
territory in question.

EXPLAINED THE
SALARY GRAB
J.F. Callahan of CasseIton Shows
Up johnD Butke's Operations
'KAnswers Ais:.AI|egsd Arguments

A republican srally. was held at
the Logan hall in Beach { last
night, and Hon. j. F. Callahan
Of Casselton spoke to good
crowd in the interests of the re-
publican ticket. He made q de-
cided hit and Showed rup Gov.
Burke's weak campaign arguments
against the republican ticket. HE
scored the governor for disre.
garding the primary law and ap-
pointing personal friend as U.
S. senator after the peoplethad
voted on the candidates..and desig-
mated Tom Marshall ! as their
choice; he explained the much
talked-of salary grab," wherein
the governor signed a bill to in
crease his salary $1,000, while sat
the same time he vetoed appropri-
ations for the benefit of the farm
ers and soldiers on the excuse
that the state was short of funds;
he showed where the governor
has placed all the state institu-
tions in the hands of the demo-
Gratis and was building up "a
strong democratic machine with
the hope of turning the state
over to the democrats in the next
presidential election; he showed
where Governor Burke had ap-
pointed commercial travellers, who
couldn't tell teal from a jack
snipe, as game wardens on a SAL
ary, and who are travelling over
the state distributing Burke cam.
paign literature.
Mr.. Callahan asked republicans
to vote for the nominees as
chosen at the primaries. and at
the same time said he didn't see
why democrats should not vote
for Burke bTt everyone should see
why republicans should not. He
praised c. A. Johnson's political
record and stated that after all
the undertaking the democrats
have been doing they have been
unable to find single thing
against him, and johnson has
gone through several campaigns,
has been mayor Of Minot. super
intendent of schools of Ward
county and a member of the state
legislature from Ward county.
The democrats are carrying on
a very active campaign, and Gov.
ernor Burke is not only attacking
C. A. johnson, but Hanna, Helge.
son. Gronna and McCumber as
we'll, in the hope of electing the
entire democratic ticket.

ries. 5S4 votes were cast in the
proposed Golden Valley county.
1923 in Slope, and only 1875 in what
is shown a Billings county on the
above map. From this. it can be
seen very clearly where the
strongest vote will be polIed, and,
according to this, Slope county
will undoubtedly win out anyway
whether the others do or net. If
they do. the Golden Valley project
will have little trouble in remov.
ing the county seat away from
Medora. with 5S4 votes against
Medora's 1876. or that proportion.
For this reason ssthe people of
Medora are not going to seriously
oppose county division. as they
will be glad to get rid Of the
ambitious Golden Valley boosters.
who, if they fail on getting their
county, will see that Slope county
is organized and then take the
county seat away from Medora.
However, there is no question but
what division will carry as shown
above, and this will put an end
to the fight, and the people in
each Of the proposed counties will
have plenty of territory and good
counties, better than the average
in the state. Golden Valley
county, the smallest. will have
645. l20 acres; Slope 7S3, ,280, and
Billings will still have 737, ,2s0
acres.
The other two propositions,
Roosevelt and Butte, are not very
much in favor anywhere. as they
conflict and stand in the way of
any division. and will be voted
down without question. Roose-
ve]t county calls for all the terri
tory in Billings county north of
the north line of Stark county.
and Butte county calls for all the
territory in Billings county south
of the south line of Stark, the
former conflicting with Golden
Valley county and the latter con-
flicting with both Golden Valley
county and Slope, so their success

Moving Pictures and Vaudeville

j. S. Leary of Dickinson was
in the city Wednesday and closed
contract with Manager Ripley
Of the Beach opera house for
vaudeville productions on two
nights of each week-Mondays
and Tuesdays. The first of these
will occur on November Is and
16, and will be really worth going
to see. There will be two acts
each evening of vaudeville Of a
high standard, as nothing of a
vulgar nature is permitted. and
three thousand feet of moving
picture films electrically pro-
jected. Mr.. Leary is manager
Of the Missouri Slope Amusement
Co., playing the more important
towns along the N. P. line, and
is also manager of the Unique
at Dickinson. The acts and pic
ture films shown are the same
class as those produced at Dickin-
son, and the only difference will
be that here one thousand feet
more of film will be run.
This arrangement will give the
people of Beach and vicinity en-
tertainment of the sort that has
long been desired, and a place to
spend their time in the long win
ter evenings Of which they need
not be ashamed nor to which they
need hesitate to take their chill
dren.

.J0KERSMITH AT WORK,
 IN LITTLE ROCK

Little Rock, Ark, January 2. No situation presents itself but where there is always a wag ready to turn the sublime into the ridiculous, or to make merry at the expense of another. When the heavy snow began melting on the streets yesterday afternoon, the city white wings began to get busy on the streets and with their broad scrapers shove the snow into great piles. These piles were about a block apart, and on West Second street some jokersmith planted signs in the two piles, labelling one North Pole and the other South Pole. They created.much merriment until an irate street sweeper resented the fun poked at his handiwork and tore the signs down.

FAVOR BURkETT BILL |

Hon. Ben Cravens of Fort Smith, Congressman from the fourth district, called on Attor ney General Norwood Wednesday afternoon to discuss the advisa- bility of the passage or the Bur- kett bill. This bill has received the sanction of the attorneys gen. eral of the several states, partic- ularly in their meeting held in St. Louis two years ago.
 The bill provides that federal courts shall not exercise the power of injunction against State boards, commissions, etc., in carrying out the orders of such boards, and is regarded as a measure more fully protecting the states from the liabilities of suit of any kind.
 Attorney General Norwood fayors the measure and was in formed by Congressman Cravens that the bill would receive his support in the national legisla. tl1rn

Rheumntr.m on uorse..

IN the highly fed and pampered
horse, inadeouately exercised, form
of rheumatism, indistinguishable from
gout is met with, says Horse Worlf
1t chiefly affects the fetlocE, but may
attack the navicular, joint when the
patient experiences those pains arth-
ritic which infect the toe OF libertine
excess"
The lameness is peculiarly painful
when the latter Joint Is involved as
no swelling can take place and give re-
lief which is afforded by the pufIing
of a fetock, a knee or hook. There
can be little doubt that many of the
intermittent foot lamenesses attribut-
ed to true navicular disease are rhe,l-
matte In origin, and that the so-called
cures of navicular lameness otherwise
than by the operation Of unnerVing
are due to the disappearance of rheu-
matte athritis, Many navicular bones
examined after the death Of horses
long suffering from disease have all
the appearances of the rheumatic de
posits.

the room. To give him his cue, the
Major spoke to him at once.
You are just in time David, as
was telling these gentlemen about your
hunt after these wretches. Did you see
anyone?"
4 saw nothing" said David, wearily.
4 am quite puzzled"
And no wonder" said Etwald,
counting off events on his fingers. THE
stick, the murder, the theft of
the body. This is a catalogue of hor-
rors. A man might do worse than
write a story on these things"
Il agree with you'll" remarked the
Major, sharply. "A man might make a
Jest of these horrors-as you are do
ing"
4 assure you never felt less like
testing in my life" replied Etwald,
coldly But it is no use discussing
such thing at in the morning. If
YOU can do without me, Major, l shall
return home, l am tired"
But Jaggard?" asked David, rising
stiffiy from his chair.
He is all right for the time being.
and she knows what to do. I'll come
back in the morning and see if he has
recovered his senses"
When Etwald took his departure,
Major Jen sent David to bed, in spite
of the young mans remonstrances, but
remained up himself to talk to Arkel.
For long time Jen discussed the mat
ter with the Inspector, but the CONVEX
sation proved extremely unsatisfactory.
Arkel was not keen -witted man, and
in a case like the present-difficult and
involved-he was quite at a loss how
to proceed. Finally Major Jen dis
missed him in despair, and while Arkel
went to see his men, who were posted
round the house, Jen remained alone
to think of what he should do.A
Il must be my own detective" he
thought, pacing the library. I must
do the work myself, with the assist
ance of David. To find out who stole
the devil-stick; that is the first STEP
To discover who killed Maurice; that
is the second step. To learn who car
ried away his body; that is the third
step. Three very difficult things to

AS he spoke. the Major unbarred the
shutters of the window. The rain had
ceased. the dawn was breaking, and
the terrible night was at an end.

CHAPTER XII.


The sensation caused by the news
that the dead body of Maurice Aylmer
had been stolen was even greater than
that occasioned by the discovery of
the murder. Even the big papers took
up the matter, and sent down report
ers to make Investigations and build
up theories as to the reason of this
strange disappearance. Everywhere
people were talking of the matter.
Would-be detectives haunted the roads
and lanes round "Ashantee they
would have penetrated into the park
itself but for the vigilance of Major
Jen.
1t must be conceded that for an am
ateur the Major set about his unaccus-
toned task in very methodical man
ner. He offered a reward of five thou
sand dollars for the detection of the
murderer, and further sum of the
like amount to any one who should
discover the thief who had desecrated
the chamber of death. These munif-
cent rewards set everybody on the
alert, and Jen, without putting down
actual money, thus became possessed
Of some hundreds of spies who would
bring him any information likely to
assist him in his investigation. Also
the Major examined all the servants in
the house He questioned Sampson
the young policeman who had been in
the kitchen on the night when the
body had been stolen; and finally he
paid a visit to the police Office, where
he saw Mr.. Inspector Arkel.
Well Arkel," said Jen, after the
first greetings were over, have you
any clue?"
mo, Major" replied Arkel, rather
grufiy, for disappointment was begin
ming to tell on his temper. Nor are
we likely to find any until that SER
want of yours regains his senses. How
is he now?"
In state of high fever, poor soul"
said Jen, with a depressed look He
does nothing but rave. Yet in all his
wild talk he never let's slip a single
word likely to help u.s."
That's pity, Major. BY the way,
questioned DR.. Etwald about the mat
ter and he is of the opinion that the
man was stunned by a blow on the
head"
4 know that I can only suppose
that Jaggard fell asleep at his post and
woke up in time to see the men getting
in by the window. A struggle would
then ensue. and he would be struck on
the head, as Etwald supposes."
L don't agree with that theory.
There are flaws In It."
"Yes?" queried Jen, eagerly. Il am
open to correction. Please 90 on"
"Jaggard was drugged. sir"
but the wound at the back Of the
head which stunned him?"
There you have it." cried Arkel
The wound at the back Of the head
was caused by his falling like a log
when he was drugged."
Hin! This Is all building on sand"
said Jen. doubtfully. Even to drug
him, these men must have entered by
the window"

The quality of butter depends to a
great degree upon the food and drink
Of the cow She should have clean,
pure water and wholesome food. Much
care should be taken In the selection
Of the ration The individual COW has
much to do In this regard. But with
respect to the part that Is played in
handling the product of the COW too
much carelessness is evident in the
processes of butter-making After
churning is finished the butter and
milk mixture should remain quiet for
about ten minutes In order to let the
butter come to the surface. A cup of
cold water will hasten the process.
An old recipe says:
The butter should be carefully
SKINNED off into a wooden bowl half
full Of water. The water should be
repeatedly changed until 1t shows no
indication of milkiness. 1t is impor-
tant that the butter should not be
pressed or worked during the process
Of removing the milk from the butter.
After this the butter may be pressed
into a mass and salt to the extent of
one-fortieth Its weight worked into it.
The water should be well pressed out,
but the less worked .he more perfect
