AUTO STRUCK BY
TRAIN YESTERDAY
JOHN C0SERUD IS BADLY HURT AND
MACHINE WRECKED AT FAIR
GROUND CROSSING

John Goserud lies in the Willis
ton hospital with q crushed leg,
a bad scalp wound and other
bruises and injuries, the Glide
automobile he was driving hes at
the bottom of a fifteen foot fill
crushed into q mass of twisted
iron and wood and Louis johnson
and Nels Sedersohn are still trying
to figure out how it is that they
are not in the hospital or worse,
all from the result of the party
disputing the crossing rights with
westbound freight 401 at two-thir-
ty o'clock yesterday morning.
The party was returning from an
outing that lasted into the morning
hours and while passing over the
track at the fair ground crossing
the train bore down upon them.
johnson and Sedersohn had time
to Jump but Goserud, who was
driving, was unable to get clear
and was hurled over the embank-
ment with the auto, the machine
falling over fifty feet from the
place it was struck, and he strik-
ing the ground near by. The
machine was reduced to scraps,
nothing .remaining that can ever
amount to value excepting perhaps
the engine and tires. -
Goserud was picked up in q
semi-unconscious condition and up
to this time hardly realizes what
the accident was or how it oc;
Cured. The unhurt men claim
they heard nothing until the train
was upon them. The auto was
struck on the fireman's side and
he was standing in the gangway
of the tender when he first saw the
auto which was when the train
was almost upon it. Goserud's
condition is serious but will hard
" be fatal. Blood poison might
set in, necessitating the amputa-
tion of the limb.

RETURNS TO WISCONSIN
Miss Sargent Complete. Her Dsnestie
Science Work i This City

Miss Estella Sargent who has
been in the city and adjoining
towns for the past two or three
months in the interest of the La
Follett Publishing Co.. of Madi-
son, Wis, left for her home at
Argyle, Wis, Wednesday where
she will resume her school work on
the opening of the school year.
Ir connection with her work with
the LaFollett people Miss Sargent
represents the American School of
Home Economics of Chicago who
publish a condensed home study
course on domestic science and the
practical application of arts and
sciences to the home industries.
As the course of the Book and
Thimble club for the coming year
is much along these lines, the
members of the club have heartily
endorsed Miss Sargent's efforts
here as has many other ladies of
the city. The work is an admir-
able one and we'll adapted to the
use af home study courses in do
mestic science as we'll as for the in
dividual that is reaching out for
ways and means for the making of
a healthier and happier home.
Miss Sargent is much impressed
with North Dakota state and peo-
pie and is not a little imbued with
the spirit of mighty optimism that
marks the daily life of the north
west.

PLAYING TO GOOD HOUSES
Rsth Caves Germany At Star 1bealer Is
Proving SleIhr Athaetisa

The Ruth Craven Co., appear
ing at the Star Theatre this week
is giving full satisfaction and
the excellent performances and the
crowded houses that have been
greeting the company have led to
the continuation of the engage.
ment through all next week.
Stock engagements of longer
than q weeks duration have usual
" been confined to cities of more
than provincial situation and up to
the coming of this company, no
such attraction has played Willis
ton longer than one week, and
when the play folk stick to q town
more than that time, it is a good
indication that the place is greet
ing more and more urban in char
acter.
Monday and Tuesday evening
the company gave 'Driven From
Home" Wednesday night the
play was that old reliable stock at
traction Dora Thorn, !" which will
be repeated tonight. Friday and
Saturday evening Brete Hart's
"Tennessee's Pardner" will be the
bill.
Next week Monday and Tues
day nights Offering will be ''Bess
of Idaho" with Connie Craven as
"Bess." Miss Craven is just from
the Sullivan Considine vaudeville
circuit to which engagement she
will return later in the fall in sing
ing speciality.
Wednesday and Thursday even
ing the company will give East

Isabel and the company will close
its engagement here with Ethel
Barrymore's comedy drama ''Sun-
day" with Bonnie Beck in the lead

The company numbers nine peo-
pie with Harry L. Beck, old time
actor in the low comedy parts
which assures the laugh end to be
forthcoming in every play.

PERFECTS new INVENTION
S. K. Philip. Perfeets Msvins Picture
Screen Of Superior Points

The Crescent Theater re-opens
in vaudeville next Monday night
with Bird and Kema as the top liner
presenting A Trip to the Chirese
rheater and McFadden's Return.
As a special the grand opera Faust
u 5000 foot real will be presented
next week.
In the months time that has
elapsed since the theater closed q
complete transformation has been
wrought in the interior decora-
tions. New paper in panel effects
has been placed on the walls and
through the combined efforts Of
Ed. Veeder and S. K. Phillips the
place has been made a very attrac-
tive play house.
This week at the close of each
performance S. K. Phillips has
been trying out his new invention
in screen making, an idea that bids
fair to revolutionize that photo
play house utility. As to just what
enters into the makeup of the
new screen, the inventor refuses
to talk at length but the fact is all
apparent that when the new Phil
lips screen and the old make are
put under the spot light at one
time the contrast between the old
and the new is vividly shown. The
strong point in the new screen is
its rejecting powers that are much
greater than the old and make it
possible to show pictures in an al
most fully lighted house. The use
of house lights is nearly as much
the matter Of q perfect screen as a
perfect machine and the nearer the
screen comes to making complete
refraction of the rays of light the
nearer the inventor comes to
making possible the hitherto i'm
possible, of showing pictures in a
fully lighted house. sis2 it.

CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY

Event Fri1ay Evening

A very enjoyable evening was
spent at the West Lawn home of
Mr.. and Mrs. G. F. Currie last
Friday when upward of twenty
guests gathered to help them cele-
brate their ninth wedding ami
versary.
The musical numbers we're feat
ures Of the evening, selections be-
ing given by the male quartette
and . number of vocal and instru-
mental solos rendered.
Refreshments were served in the
course of the evening but every
thing musical and gsstronomic,
excellent as they were, sank into
insignifcance when eight former
grooms were made to testify and
give q minute description of the
gowns worn by the respective
brides. on the wedding day. Glow
ing descriptions were given, which
according to the grooms account
the bride might have been garbed
in anything from blue denim to
cloth of gold as far as the descrip-
tion brought out an intelligent
portrayal of the gown. The eight
brides were called on for q synop-
sis of the manner in which the
groom bore himself on the marital
day and the preoccupations of that
nuptial nonentity was held up to
criticism that reflected no great
credit on the intelligence of man
in general and grooms in particu-
lar. The company dispersed at .
late hour after q most enjoyable
evening.

FLAX MILL
PLANS RECEIVED
COMMERCIAL CLUB RECEIVES BLUE
PRINT OF PROJECTED NEW BUILD
lNCS- -EnnATES ASKED FOR

Plans for the new fax fibre mill
were received by A. O. Anderson
Of the Commercial club this week
from architect A. r. Ellis of Hart
ford. Conn, who forwarded them
under instructions from president
James McAdam of the American
Linen Fibre Co. of Philadelphia.
These plans call for . mill OF de-
mensions l74x37a feet with base
ment and first floor. The base
ment floor is to be constructed OF
concrete and the first floor of brick
which materials enter into the con-
struction Of the building wherever
they can be used to advantage.
The commercial club is instructed
to turn the plans over to local con-
tractors for figures on the prob
able cost of erecting the building
and wish for estimates to be SUBJ
mitted by September 10.
While blue prints do not always
mean buildings and manufacturing
industries, yet the receipt of these
plans show conclusively that Will
liston is we'll in mind with the Of
>ficials of the company that are con-
templating the erection of the mills
and that her claim as q flax pro-
ducing district is being entered in
to fully as deeply as any other
place that is contemplated as q site
for q fax mill.

COLONEL CAYEN IN TOWN
OA Tine Newspaper Man Was h he
i City 1aeslay

Colonel j. E. Caven was here
Tuesday perfecting arrangements
for the coming of the ''Squaw
Man" that appears at the Opera
house next Wednesday evening.
Colonel Caven is an interesting
character, born in Texas nearly
three quarters of a century ago,
reared in Louisiana, he is an old
time newspaper man and has
worked from coast to coast in that
profession. One time owner of
the Kansas City Times and after
wards of the Denver Times, war
correspondent in China and world
traveller, his going into theatrical
lines is no more than many mem-
bers of his former profession have
done. The Colonel is one of the
owners of the show that comes
here after engagements in many
of the larger Canadian cities Of the
northwest and it is highly prob
able that Williston theatre goers
will not have the opportunity soon
of seeing production of the high
class of the coming play.
The entire cast is the original
New York company with the ex-
ception that George Dill appears in
the part of Captain James Winnie
gate, taking the place of Dustin
Farnham in the original cast.
Critics hold that Dill's work in the
part is better than that of Farm
hams and the latter's work was
highly creditable and we'll received
by the critics everywhere.

MAKES ARTISTIC WINDOW

play Of Fine Phetspapiy

The stroller on south Main
street cannot help but having his
attention attracted to the photo
graphic display of j. E. Pason-
ault in the window of his studio.
Window display at the most is an
art in itself, but when it comes to
dressing art 50 as to make an
artistic combination the task be-
comes doubly hard.
Mr.. Pasonault has made his CEN
terpiece of q large panel photo.
graph of the National Photogra-
piers Convention taken at st.
Paul last July. and around it is
build scheme that is artistic in
every sense. The large picture
contains nearly two thousand per-
sons and was taken in front of the
Al mory in the above city by John
son Brothers of St. Paul. "
! Flanking the panel picture are
two photographs of local residents
and below are five large photo
cranhs IF home peOple made in
linen platinum finish, the three
center pictures having been prize
winners at the National conyen-
tion. Above, to balance the
scheme, are FIVE hand painted
landscape pictures from the studio
of Wallace Nutting, of Salisbury,
Conn, an artist of international
reputation in his line Of art, and
the whole is set off with = tapistry
background that makes q perfect
setting for the completed picture.
Interspersed among the photo
graphs is a badge, Mr.. Pasonault's
first recognition by a national con-
vention and presented to him at
St. Paul in 1901, Also gold medal
awarded him at the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition at St. Louis in
1904; Bronze medal presented at
Duluth i'm 1905; Gold medal
awarded at Minneapolis in 1906,
and gold medal awarded at Min
neapolis in 1908. The badge and
medals were all presented for fine
Photographic work. ..
Many new ideas on his art were
cleaned by Mr.. Pasonault on his
recent trip to the National conven-
tion, among them from the work
of Rudolph Dukroop, the world
renowned photographer of Berlin.
Mr.. Dukropp's work in home
portraiture is considered by the
most eminent authority on the
subject as the best in the world
and Mr.. Pasonault's aim is to work
out some of the ideas gained by q
study of this masters work.

QUEER MOVING BALL.
Great Granite Sphere Actually
Turns, and Furnishes Scientists
With New Subject for Their
Various Theories.

In the last few years the atten-
ton of scientists. and of the public
IN general, has been attracted to a
remarkable phenomenon discovered
In connection with the monument to
the memory Of &. Il. Merchant. IN
the Marion, Ohio, Cemu,c.y.
The monument consists uf a stone
base, rough in finish, upon which is
mounted polished granite ball.
The ball is Sc inches in diameter
and weighs 4,20O pounds.
When the bali was placed in DO
'ition in 1896 the monument build
II lett but one spot of it rough.
his was the segment Of contact
With the stone pedestal, or the part
If the ball which rested on the sup
,orting stone. So thoroughly was
he rest of the ball polished that it's
'urface is like a mirror. 1t reflects
he trees and shrubbery which sur
'ound 1t.
In 1900, four years after the
monument was erected. a visitor to
iranite sphere had shifted it's posi-
ion. Investigation proved that the
ough spot was no longer in contact
nth the pedestal. Repeated ef-
"rtS OH the narI t.: tie IanIa;c, y
mployees failed to return the bail
its former position.
Those who attempted the task
ealized that the ball had not been
urned by human hands. At first it's
loVement was aScribed to the mo-
ion of the earth. This was the
ommonly accepted theory until
=, ewspaper reports called the atten-
= on of scientists to the phenomen-
u.
Men of science from the Ohio IN
ersity made special trips to Mar
IA to study the problem AS the
Y >ry of the ball was spread scienti-
Ifc men from universities further
away came to study the ball.
When the first professor of ply
sizes looked at the sphere the rough
| spot on the ball was about half way
up toward its top as it rested on the
pedestal. He took a photograph of
the ball in that position, the rough
spot designated that the ball was
moving in the vertical circle.
The next scientist who took a ic-
ture of the ball showed it in a diff
ferent position. The ball had turn
ed in part in the vertical circle and
then had revolved in the horizontal
This led to further controversy un-
til many men of science met to
study the unique problem.
Many theories were advanced as
to the cause of the movement of
the ball. Finally many geologists
of note and recognized authority
evolved a theory which is generally
accepted as true. That is:

The law prescribes that any pur-
chaser of fertilizers may take Il
sample within fifteen days after de-
livery, aud in the same waythat the
inspector does, the drawing to be
made in the presence of two wit
nesses, one chosen by the buyer
and one by the seller. The seller
must have six days notice, and the
Jamqle must be sealed in the pres
ence OF IL third disinterested wit
ness. All three witnesses must sign
a certificate that is sent with the
sample to the secretary OF the
board Of fertilizer control. The AN
alysis is made i'm the same way. as
for the official samples. The in
but ii is not necessary to give the
gradients claimed should be given,
but ii is not necessary to give the
per cent guarantee. These rules are
necessary for the protection OF the
manufacturers as we'll as for the
farmer.
Those of us who are taking the
agricultural courses are given both
theoretical instruction in the analy-
Sis of commercial fertilizers during
our junior and senior years. Thus
We learn for ourselves what fertili-
ger analysis is. We will be very
glad to introduce any of our farm
er friends, at any time, to our in
structors who will gladly show them
through the laboratories and cX-
plain more in detail the methods of
this work. A. J. e. Jr.

BOARDS LINER AT SEA.
Uses Four Different Kinds of Craft
to Make One Voyage Across At
lantiC.

y. Y. American.
When Miss Edith Grinstead ar
riVes at her home in Eastbourne,
Sussex, England, she can tell her
friends that she made the voyage
across the Atlantic in four differ
cnt kinds of sea craft. 1t was off
the Scotland Lightship. about noon
the other day that she made her
last transfer.
Recently Miss Grindstead. who
had been visiting an uncle at Gal
weston, received a cablegram re-
questing her to hurry home. She
sailed on the Denver and when that
ship approached this port she sent
wireless message for a taXicab to
meet her to whirl her to the pier
from where the Campania was to
sail. Owing to bad weather the
Denver was one day late At 10
O'Clock in the morning, when the
Denver was near the Scotland Light
ship, Miss Grindstead began to wor-
ry about catching the Campania
She went over to Captain Ward, of
the Denver, and confided to him
her troubles.
For the next twenty minutes
wireless messages were exchanged
between the skipper of the Mallory
liner and the Campania. 1t was fin
ally decided by the two captains to
p9LLaJsuHLl pnalspulID ssIW aARq
to the Campania at sea.
some of the passengers tried to
get Miss Grindsteau not to make
the transfer because of the heavy
westerly winds and the huge waves.
"l'm not afraid of being sailor
for few minutes" replied the
woman.
The Denver waited until the pi-
lot ship New York came along. A
yawl was lowered, and Miss Grin
stead got into it, accompanied by
two officers who rowed to the
New York and Miss Grindstead got
aboard. Many of the passengers
cheered her.
When the Campania came along a
few minutes later Captain Barr was
on the bridge waiting for the new
passenger. A rope ladder was low
cred. and after IL rope had been
tied about Miss Grindstead's waist,
she climbed out of the small yawl
and started up the ladder to the
liners deck. One of the stewardess-
eS of the Denver placed several
large rubber bands about the lower
part OF her skirts.
When Miss Grinstead arrived on
deck the signal was given and the
Campania resumed the voyage to
Liverpool. The passengers on the
Campania and the crew on the New
York cheered as the young woman
stood on the promeade deck waving
a handkerchief to those who had
assisted her.
