ONE BEAUTIFUL JAG.

A Chicago man who is spending a
few days in the city was met by a
friend Monday evening, who asked
him if he had the price Of drink.
The former handed out IS cents and
in few minutes the friend returned
with a bottle which he claimed was
filled with hard cider. Whatever the
beverage was, the Chicago man got
hilariousy jagged and had to be
thrown into the cooler. He was re-
leased Tuesday morning after being
reprimanded. He is in the city TAX

out here to see the soil. He thought
that when they could see both at
the same time it would prove great
inducement to them to visit this
great show.
Chief John Grass.
There were a number of Indians
from the reservation present and the
delegation was headed by Chief John
Grass, and when the other speakers
had finished the chief was called
upon for talk, and through an in
terpreter, Mr. Wells. he expressed
sentiments that would do credit to
the best Of the white men. He stated
that he had always been a friend of
the white man and that his first visit
to Bismarck was when there was
nothing here bpt couple of stores
and that now he was almost unable
to realize the growth OF the city. He
stated that he was as favorably i'm
pressed with the class of men as he
was with the material growth of the
city. .
At the close of his talk the applause
was loud and prolonged. Secretary
WEIGH then thanked the chief for
the talk and the expressions of friend
ship and drew a word picture for
John Grass, contrasting the time OF
the pioneer with the present day,
and saying that in large measure
Chief John Grass, the friend of the
whites. was responsible for the cen.
ditions that exist. The chief Was
then extended an invitation to be the
guest of the Commercial club Al the
time of the holding of the show this
fall and he accepted.
Directors Meeting.
This being the last of the talks the
meeting adjourned and there was a
meeting of the directors to consider
the appointment of committee to
have charge of the work that will be
connected with the securing of the
greatest agricultural show ever held
in the west, for Bismarck.
In all the talks that were delivered
on the subject of securing the show
for Bismarck there appeared to be
the utmost enthusiasm for the
project, and while it was of course
thought that Bismarck will be the
best place for the show there was a
determination to boost for it where
ever it is held. The Bismarck prop
osition looked good for more reasons
than one, one big reason being the
accessibility of the town via railroad
and river and the ability Of the city
to take care of the visitors. Another
reason advanced was that people
coming to visit the show from outside

dations Which Still Continue.
The police force of the city is on
the outlook for some thief or thieves
who have been committing a number
Of petty robberies about the city.
Recently the robbers effected an en-.
trance into the Bismarck Bottline
works through a back window but did
not secure much plumber. Still more
recently the pool and billiard hall of
Patrick McHugh was burglarized. The
thieves secured only about 70 cents,
which was in the till for change, and
three boxes of cigars. A long Jail
sentence would probably result in a
change of mind for them.

Antioch and Barr's Chapel
Schools Open. County Fair
Complimented.

The school opened here last Mon
day morning and a full attendance
of pupils were enrolled. Also the
school at Barr's Chapel which is
in this school district opened on
that day. Miss Young, from North
Carolina, arrived on the previous
Saturday to take charge of the
Barr's Chapel school. We hope
all the boys and girls read Prof.

made to attend school regularly.
Would that all the patrons see to it
that their children attend every
day, and cooperate with the teach

school which is the foundation of a
higher education.

attend even on Friday. The man
ayers are to be highly commended
for their splendid efforts and had
the weather been good, we all think
this would have been the best the

Delightful Reception to We'd
ding Party.

Inclement weather does not al
ways affect the spirits and bring de-
preston, and this was proven on
Tuesday evening of last week when
Miss Edwardina Blalock entertained
the bridal party of Che Bailey-Ful-
ler marriage. In face of drizzle and
cold, every guest was as gay and
happy as if the harvest moor in all
its splendor had been shining its
brightest.
At o'clock after rehearsal of
the wedding ceremony at the Bap-
tist church, the bridal party repair
ed to the hospitable home of Rev.
and Mrs. P. P. Blalock, when the
warm glow of an open fire, as well
as the kindly greetings of the host
and hostess added good cheer to the
pleasant and suspicious occasion.
Music, that appropriate accompa-
niment of any occasion, was part
of the evenings pleasure. Mrs. VIII
son of Manning, an aunt of the
bride, Miss Lula Tisdale and Miss
Ethel Black, giving some vocal Sc
lections, and Mr.. Blalock in his
characteristic style, entertained by
request with one of his own compo-
sitions.
The immediate bridal party, a
lovely and attractive company, were
seated at bountifully laden table
in the dining room, while the other
guests were served buffet in one of
the spacious parlors. The refresh
ments were most abundant, and con-
sisted of a salad course with coffee,
and a variety of fruits.
The occasion was delightful in
many ways, but especially in It's re,
union of friends and school com.
panions. Young and old were charm
ed with the happy environment, and
the gracious hospitality of Miss Bla-
lock, the fair young hostess.

Urging curtailment of Fertilizers.

The State Farmers Union. is already
urging a curtailment of fertilizer pur-
chases for next year. First, because
OF the price and, second, because OF
the residue now in the soil, por-
tion of this years fertilizers being un-
consumed by the growing crops.
What the outcome of this agitation
for a reduced consumption of CONNER
cial fertilizers will be can not be foretold
but this muchis certain that farmers can
not afford to increase the fertilizer bur-
den without first fortifying themselves
against low price cotton; At the pre-
vaiIing price of cotton the annual fer
tilizer debt of this state is too heavy.
Farmers will have to return to the
WAYS of their fathers, which is tomake
more barn yard manure and supplement
this with commercial fertilizers.
