McCAGHERTY TO
MOVE TO M|N07
New Manager is Experienced
Druggist, and a Good
Business Man

G. G. Benno, for the past eight
years in the employ of the big
Paul V. Mccoy Drug Store at Mi
not, arrived in Bowbells Tuesday
to take charge of the Krueger
Drug Company, having pur-
chased a third interest in the
institution. Frank McCagherty.
who for the past year has acted
ed as manager of the store, and
owned a third interest, leaves for
Minot in about a week to take
charge of the drug department
of the P. V. Mccoy store, but
still retains a third interest in the
store here.
Mr.. Benno comes here highly
recommended. He has had many
years experience in the drug busi-
ness, is a clean-cut fellow, and
an all around business man, and
there is no question but that he
will~make a SUCCESS here. He-is
.enterprising, progressive, public
spirited and will make valuable
acquisition to the city.
Mr.. McCagherty. who so ably
conducted the business for the
past year has made many friends
here who will regret to learn of
his departure. He came here
shortly before the crops dried out
when there was no money in the
country, having uphill work al
most from the start, but he was
equal to the occasion, and con-
Quoted the business to the salts
faction of his customers, and did
credit to both the store and HIM
self. He has made good here
and has a record to be proud of.

scattered by a whizz of something
rushing through the air before
them; there was horrible plop
on the pavement and a body flat
tened on the flags. Wayfarers
on the opposite side of the street
shaded their eyes against the
setting sun and saw the windows
of the three upper floors of the
building black with girls crowd
ing to the sills. There were no
fire escapes.
Don't jump" yelled t h e
crowd. But the girls had n o
alternative. TIL e pressure of
maddened hundreds behind them
and the urging Of their own fears
were too strong. They began to
fall to the sidewalk in terrible
rain of flesh and blood.
Four alarms were rung within
fifteen minutes. Before the en-
gines could respond, before the
nets could be stretched or ladders
raised, five girls had fallen from
the eighth and ninth floors 50
heavily that they broke through
the very streets into vaults be-
low. In an hour the fire was out.
In half an hour it had done it's
work; probably the death list was
full in twenty minutes.
The building stands on the cor
ner with exposure on two sides,
but the only fire escape was on
the interior, one opening on the
light and air shaft. In all there
were seven exits. a single fire
escape, two freight elevators at
the rear, two passenger elevators
in the front and two stairways.
All Of them proved almost useless
and practically all who escaped
either climbed to the roof and
scrambled thence to the roof of
the building occupied by the AM
erican Book company adjoining,
or fed in the first rush for safety
before the crush and the smoke
grew too thick.

Mrs. D. N. johnson of near
Scarville died at her home on
Tuesday Of astsweek, March IA.
The immediate cause Of her death
was paralysis. The stroke which
proved fatal came Monday MORN
ing and she never regained con-
sciousness.
The above are facts telling the
last sad story Of one of Winnie
bago county's pioneers. She was
born in Tjele, Vosestranden, Nor
way, May q, 1847, but at the age
Of II years she with her parents
emigrated to America. Three
years after having landed on
American soil she came to Winnie
bago county. Mr.. and Mrs. D.
N. johnson were among the first
settlers west Of Lime Creek. All
the hardships and privations Of
pioneering fell to her lot, but
with that Christian fortitude
which was her chief consolation.
all through life, she bore t he
harsh treatment of the 1 frontier
gladly, happy il the thought that
she was helping to bllild a home

Central Holds Parents
Day for Consultation

This is parents day at Central High
School.
Should any unwilling parent try to
"play truant" and object to being led
off to school by his or her child. Prin-
cipal Wilson is likely to send a per-
sonal letter to the derelct and learn
the reason why.
"At least twice a year." declared Mr..
Wilson, 'I believe It is necessary for
teachers and parents to meet and COM
pare notes. In some cases IT should
be done oftener. We encourage con-
ferences every day for a half-hour
after dismissal. But in order to round
up those who fail to come at that time
we have set two special days"
The next parents day at Central will
be March 20. Today was chosen be-
cause it follows closely the sending in
of the first markings and, therefore,
parents whose pupils have received un-
satisfactory reports can discuss the
matter with teachers.
Nearly a hundred parents attended a
similar event at Western yesterday.
There Miss f. NJ. Westcott and the
teachers received the parents from
to 4. The next visiting day at Western
will be December 7.

greatest of American inventions.
1t enables the corporations to
work us while we sleep.
The sleeping car is filled with beau
tiful plush seats, which are made moro
uncomfortable at night by being turned
into berths. There are ordinarily twen-
ty berths and each berth will hold one
and three-fifths persons and peck
of cinders. The berths are divided into
upper and lower berths, respectively.
The lower berths were much more pop

floor, until the Interstate Commerce
Commission lowered the rates on the
uppers. after which 1t was discovered
that the long, hard climb to the upper
berth is very beneficial and assists IN

retreat gradually into the berth side

Rules Of etiquette require passengers
to dress in the berths of a sleeping car
instead OF in the aisles. As a result
OF this, American contortionists now
lead the world. Women often travel
in sleeping cars, but the company
doesn't encourage the practice. It has
made the women's toilet room so small
that only one woman at a time can
occupy 1t. and II two women are in a
car enc of them has to get up at 8
o'clock in order to give both a chance
to dress before breakfast.
Sleeping cars are now SO numerous
that the company finds great difficulty
in finding names for them. It has ex-
hausted the names Of countries, cities
and operas, but II It viii now start in
on the names which passengers have
called sleeping cars, It will be amply
