NARROWLY ESCAPED

Darlington, N. D., Aug. S.-W. F.
Halliday, former druggist and early
settler in Darlington and Bismarck,
had a narrow escape from drowning
near Kalispell, Mont, a few days ago.
In company with another gentleman
the two were crossing ford, when
one of the horses made lunge and
precipitated the outfit into the water.
Mr.. Halliday's foot caught in the
buggy top and only aid in removing
his shoe and freeing himself saved his
life.

LANCASTER CORNET BAND
GAVE CONCERT At BEtTOWN
Citizens Turned Out From Miles
Around to Attend
The Musical Treat Was Followed by a
Feast Prepared by the Beesown
Ladies

There has always been very
cordial feeling ot friendliness exist
ing between the citizens Of Lancaster
and those of Beetown A number of
Lancaster people spent many years of
their lives in our little neigh boring
village and find much pleasure in the
visits back and forth which take place
from time to time.
1t is probably this neighborly feel
ing that first prompted the muve for
several Of Lancaster's owners of auto
mobiles to take the members of our
cornet band and a number of otter
citizens to Beetown last Friday even
ing and treat them to a band concert,
just such one as is given from the
band stand in the court yard every
week here And it was most en-
ioyable affair for all concerned
Beetown people had employed the
telephone lines to notify the farmers
for miles arc ind Of the coming event,
and hundreds Of people turned out TO
hear the concert. the roads in all
directions being lined with teams.
Beetown has not had such a crowd Of
visitors in years. Many Of their
test selections were rendered by the
band who we're then invited to partake
Of refreshments prepared by the church
ladies, entertainment of this sort
being a thing that Beetown's famous
cooks are noted for. After being
rejuvenated by the feast the band
again made the old hills ring with
their newest overture, the Hunting
Scene, after which they departed for
home. Every one of the party speaks
enthusiastically over their visit and
we hear many expressions of apprecia-
tion from those who came to Beetown
to hear the music.

COMSTOCK PLEADED
GUILTY OF BURGLARY
Sentenced Friday to Penitentiary
For Three Years.
BurgIarized the House of Lewis Mckee,
Near Fennimore, Last May,
Stealing Sixty Dollars.

Eugene Comstock who burglarized
the house of Louis Mckee, a farmer
living three miles south of Fennimore,
on the night of the 18th Of May last,
was arrested at Boscobel by a pretty
piece cf strategy during the fair and
lodged in Jail at Lancaster. On Fri
day last he was brought before Circuit
Judge Clementson, where he pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to three
years imprisonment in the peni-
Tertiary at Waupun.
On the morning of May Is Mr.. Nc
KEGS hired man brought to the house
razor which he had found at the
barn. where it had slipped out of the
pocket of somebody who had been
lying on the hay. The 1azor was
recognized as the property Of Com
stock, who had been employed por,
tion of the time by Mckee during the
past three years, and who had left the
farm only few days previous. The
family's suspicious we're aroused, and
Mr.. Mckee remembered that he had
heard somebody moving around
through the house in the night and a
box of buttons had been accidentally
brushed off table onto the floor. A
search Of the house was made to see
if anything was missing, when it was
found that small iron safe or money
bank, belonging to Mr.. McKee's ten
year old son, Harvey, probably the
largest ten-year old in the state. had
disappeared, together with about sixty
dollars it had contained. The circum-
stances pointed toward Comstock, but
his whereabouts could not be learned
The sheriff and district attorney at
Lancaster were notified, but no trace
of Comstock was found until two
weeks ago when he was run onto at
Prairie du Chen by District Attor-
ney Geo. B Clementson.
No warrant for Comstock's arrest
had ben issued at that time and the
district attorney very cleverly drew
him into trap by which he was in
duced to come on to Boscohel and at
tend the fair, which he did a day or
two later. In the meantime warrant
was issued and placed in the hands of
an officer at Boscobel, who met Com
stock at the train and placed him
under arrest, later bringing him to
Lancaster, where he was placed in
Jail.

near by belonging to Mr.. Bert Divall.
In this grove natural spring of
ice cold water added to the comfort of
all present.
Under the shade of grand old trees
was served a bounteous dinner to
relatives and guests. The afternoon
was passed in visiting and social chat.
The older members present were re-
minded of former occasions when an :
nual reunions where held in and
around Bloomington, many Of whom
lived there in earlier days.
This picnic was given in honor of
c. M. Morse, of Nevade, Iowa.
Fifteen years ago the 28th of this
month Mr.. Morse met with twenty
two Of his cousins at the home Of the
late J. W. Bracket, at Blooming
ton. Out IF the twenty-five present
then, only nine were at this gather.
ing Some have passed to that
reunion IN t1e Better Land. others
detained by distance and other duties
and two OF the number are east
visiting in the homes of ancestors
in Ohio and New England. On
Thursday, Aug. 18th the 22nd an
nual reunion of the Morse and
Reed families was held at Freedom

for trackage and available dumping

for trackage and available dumping
ground
The overburden is first stripped,
leaving the ore body bare. Then the
steam shovels are brought into action.
Rouhgly speaking they gouge the ore
out in enormous chunks, each shovel
loading seventy five cars OF twenty
five tons capacity In ten hours The
ore is loosened by blasting. The open
cuts are from seveny five to one
hundred feet deep. The great yawning
pits are usually netted with tracks
upon which the cars travel and con-
vey the ore to the surface.
OF the open pit mines, the Hull
Rust is the largest, and the Mahening
is generally rated second.
The milling system is a combina
ton Of underground and open pit hin
ing. The ore is stripped as in the
open cut, but shaft is also sunk in
the wall rock and drifts run into the
ore at a base or bottom level. Raises,
or openings are made in the ore from
these drifts to the surface The ore
is then sent down through the raises
by blasting and with picks into chutes
from which it is dumped into hand
cars, which are pushed or trammed to
the shaft and hoisted The rises are
called 'mills" from which the sly tenn
derives its name. In certain mines
steam shovels are used to dump the
ore into the mills.
The slicing and square set methods
are employed in underground mining.
The former is in general use as it is
regarded as being safe and very
economical. Square set rooms have
been found to be extremely dangerous
because of their large dimensions and
the intricate system of one set of
timbers on top Of another, which is
necessary to support the surface. The
large amount Of timber required is
also an objection to the square set
system in these days of disappearing
forests.

To adorn ourselves seems to be q
part of our nature. and this desire
seems to be everywhere and in every
thing. l have sometimes thought that
the desire for beauty covers the earth
with flowers, paints the wings of

and gives the bird it's plumage and
it's song. o, daughters and wives. if

Death of Reuben D. Blanchard.

From the BoScobel Dial Enterprise.
From Boscobel poor man, few
years ago to the position of First AS
sistant Attorney General of the
Philippines and personal friend of
President Taft, is the history of
Reu ben Blanchard. of Boscobel, who
died at the Madison sanltarium last
Sunday.
Reuben Blanchard was born in
Boscobel, Dec 3, 1868. He received
his education in the Boscobel schools,
and was graduated with the class Of
SO.
Ais parents died when he was very
young His foster mother was Mrs.
Lucy Blanchard.
After attending the law school at
Madison he was admitted to the bar.
He then became a member Of the firm
Brooks & Blanchard of Boscobel.
When Attorney Brooks died Mr..
Blanchard continued the business
alone until he entered the Spanish
American war in 1898 as a lieutenant
in the Fourth Wisconsin. After the
war he entered the regular Amy as a
lieutenant in the U. S., Volunteer
Infantry. This was in 1900. For
bravery in this capacity he was pro-
noted to the rank Of captain.
A treasurer being needed for the
province of Batangas in the Philip
pines, Captain Blanchard was select
ed. From there he was promoted
step by step to the position he occupied
when he died.
FRIEND OF TAFT.
Mr.. Blanchard was personally
acquainted with President Taft. and
he was classed with the few in the
Philippines who could not be bought
When Mr.. Blanchard visited Bos-
cobel in 1908 his illness began. He
left here and went to New York,
where he had slight stroke of par
alysis. When he returned to the
Philippines his health improved and
he did an unusual thing. He made
5000-mile trip, mostly on mule back
on account of the freshets in order to
hold court, duty he had to perform
as First Assistant Attorney General.
He held court in all the provinces in
the district of Luzon.
Brights disease then attacked him
and he was given one years leave of
absence, on pay, to the United States,
to recover his health. He was stricken
with paralysis again on board the
steamer, and for a time his recovery
was despaired of. He recovered,
however, and was taken to the
hospital at Seattle. From there he
went to the st. Helena san1tarium in
California. He was later taken to
the Madison sanitarium where he
died Aug IA, of cerebral hemorrhage.
The funeral was held on Tuesday at
one O'Clock at the Rock school house
on the Fennlnore road. The service
was conducted by Rev. Goodsell of
the Fennimore Methodist church.
The service at the grave in the Rock
School house cemetery was in charge
of the Boscobel Masons, assisted by
the Fennimore lodge.

while it will not cure all diseases, will
help in fighting any disease and will
cure those mentioned above, all OF
which comes from bad blood.
Forty years ago DR.. A. B. Simpson,

most successful physicians in three
states. His success was founded al
most exclusively on one prescription,
the most powerful blood purifier ever
known. After his death this prescrip'
ton was regularly pvt up as DIR. A.
B. Simpsons Vegetable Compound.
It has been used extensively all over
the country and in forty years has
never failed, even in that most dread

it's worst stage. And when an altera-
tive will do that, it, of course cleans
and rebuilds blood affected with other
