CUSHING BOOKLET
FRESH FROM PRESS
i.


There have been a. great many ex-
cellent books issued in the state for
the purpose Of advertising the various
towns, but the handsomest of the lot
is the book just issued from the press
of Walker Bros. by w. F. Cushing.
This book contains about $50 views
OF the city of Fargo. 1t is Topographic
cally excellent, the pictures are fine and
the book as a whole is a credit to the
publisher and the CITY,
The paper in the book is India tint
enamel, on which sepia ink is used, a
combination most attractive. The cover
is brown with printing in brown and
green. The book contains 1872 pages
in all, and its text tells the story of
Fargo's resources, what the city is and
hopes to be, giving outsiders an excel
lent idea of the Biggest Little City In
the World"
There are many fine street scenes
shown in the book, panorama views,
groups of residences, schools, churches
and big business houses, but perhaps
what will appeal most to residents of
the city are the many views of the
numerous beauty spots about the city,
including river and park views never
before shown. An effort seems to have
been made to show to the fullest the
handsome shady streets and homes in
the residence section, in fact trees are
seen in nearly all the views, thus add
ing to the effectiveness of the pictures
as showing what we really have in
Fargo.
Many of the business men had cuts
made of their places of business. which
has added largely to the attractiveness
of the advertising matter. which, by the
way, is artistic and in line with the
typographical neatness of the entire
work. Mr.. Cushings book Is one that
every resident of the city should have,
and send away a dozen or SO copies be-
sides, for it Is the best book Of the
kind ever got out in the state. The
Fargo Commercial club has endorsed
the book and will use 1t largely in ad-
vertising the city.
The book will be on sale tomorrow at
the various book and news stands, the
price being but rs cents. Send one to
each OF your friends.

MORRIS COMPANY
OFFICES BURN
BIG BLAZE IN LARD STORE ROOM
DESTROYS INTERIOR OF Of
FICES ON N. P. TRAcKS-VERY
LITTLE SAVED-SPARK FROM
ENGINE CAUSE.

The interior of the offices of Morris
& Co, was completely destroyed by
f1re this morning. The office building
Of the packing company is small, one
story high, and located on the N. P.
railroad tracks at the rear of the Buff
falo Pitts Threshing Machine Co.,
corner of N. P. avenue and Fifth street
south. The fire started by a spark
from q switching engine blowing
through the open doorway leading
from the loading platform into the
lnrd store room. Aside from the big
safe of the company, most everything
was lost.
Two compartments, divided only by
wooden partition, constitute the in
terror of the little building, and in one
OF these large supply of lard was
kept, while the other was used as the
company's local offices. Both rooms
open out onto a platform extending
along the tracks by which several
Morris refrigerator cars are lined for
unloading. The door Of the lard store
room was open and a spark from a
switching yard engine passing up and
down blew in and the blaze was start
ed at once.
The attention of the office force was
first directed to the flames, by large
volume of smoke issuing through a
stove hole in the wooden wall. They
FASTENED out the door with what books
they were using, closing the safe on
the jump and caller the fire depart
ment. Nothing else was saved from
the flames though the prompt response
OF the fire department stopped the
flames from spreading to the box cars
on the tracks nearby, thereby avoiding
what might have been a disastrous fire
OF considerable cost.

pected that the new Great Northern
hotel will be open for this occasion. A
story has beene started that the hotels
and eating houses were going to raise
their rates. There is absolutely no
truth in this, for the same rates viii
prevail that are now in vogue in the
city. Fargo hotel people were never
noted for doing this kind of work, and
they don't propose TO begin 1t on this
occasion. All who come to Fargo win
be well taken care OF, and there will be
no extra charges.

SCHOOL 1 CENSUS WOULD INDI-
CATE THERE ARE AT LEAST

susFIGUREs ARE EXPECTED TO
SHOW A SMALLER NUMBER.
what is Fargo's population !?


According to the school census fig-
ures reported in The Forum last night.
1t should be 1880. There were $500
children of school age-and more to
hear from. Using the multiple of I'VE
would make Fargos total population
the figures quoted In the foregoing.
The federal census is not likely to
show that number however, as there
was so much delay in securing enumer-
ators that the work was hastily done.
1t was regarded as incomplete in many
respects.
There is not a man in the city who
does not believe the population of
Fargo is at least the figures shown by
the school census. There are many
who suspect the federal census viii
show at least 1000 less and some are
sure IL will be 1000 under.

Who Will Send $3.50 Worth of Spe-
Cial Treatment and New

To prove the remarkable curative
powers of his new Special Personal
Treatments for heart disease, short
breath, pain in side, shoulder or
arm, oppression, irregular pulse,
palpitation, smothering, putting of
ankles, or dropsy, DR.. Miles will
send, free, to every afflicted person
$3.50 treatment. The worst cases
usually soon relieved.
These treatments are the result of
20 years extensive research and re-
markable success in treating various
ailments of the heart, stomach and
nerves, which often complicate each
case. So astonishing are the results
of his treatment that he offers all
sick persons a two-pound Trial Treat
ment free. Do not fail to try it.
Certainly nothing could be more
generous. Few physicians have
such confidence in their treatments.
All afflicted persons should avail
themselves of this liberal offer, as
they may never have such an oppor-
tunity again. Delays are dangerous.
No death comes more suddenly than
that from heart disease.
