WILL LOCATE STATE
Agency At BISMARCK
DAKOTA MUTUAL LIFE INSUR.
ANcE COMPANY MAY ERECT
BUILDING HERE
State Agent Bachelor, Can See Moth
ing But Brilliant Future For CAPT.
tai City Of North Dakota.

Mr. Bachelor, the state agent of
the North Dakota Mutual Life 1nsur-
ance company, has been here the past
few days looking over thee ity with
the intention of establishing the
North Dakota agency in Bismarck.
Mr.. Bachelor has been in Fargo,
Valley City and jamestown, but he
seems to be by far the most favor
ably impressed with the capital city
as the main point of his company in
this state. The advantages here
would be the easy access to the sur
rounding country for the agents and
the central location of the city. The
idea is to have eleven or twelve
branch Offices throughout the state
and these tributary to the main Office
in Bismarck.
Mr.. Bachelor can see nothing but
a brilliant future for Bismarck and
expresses no doubt at all but that
Bismarck will be chosen as the place
to locate the state agency.
He also intimated that should the
company locate here they would soon
erect building of their own.

The company that has done the

the exposition is complaining that
someone has been helping themselves
to the decorations.
The first time the thieving was
noticed there were only a few of the
pieces gone and it was thought to be
the work of a souvenir collector and
no attention paid to it. However,
the next night Seventh, Sixth and
Third streets were swept clean of
streamers and great number of
building decorative pieces were taken.
This was the day of the high wind
but the ropes that held the steamers
were half inch MANILA and were
plainly cut and not broken. In air

stolen this night and the police were
Immediately notified, but no trace Of
the stolen goods could be found. The

they were not the largest the judges
considered them the best.
The irst prize for the best half

Rev. P. c. Nelson brought the mes
sage of the evening from the famil-
lar words of the apostle Paul, "For
I am not ashamed of the gospel of
Christ, for it is the power of God
unto So Walton to every one that be-
lieveth." In clear, simple and force
full language the evangelist told of the
reasons why he gloried as Paul did
in the gospel of jesus Christ. The
sermon touched every heart. At it's
close Mr.. Nelson called for an ex-
preston from those in the audience
of their appreciation of what Christ
had done for them, and there followed
a most intensely and helpful meeting
as scores of people rose to their feet
one after another to witness to the
great help and blessing that Christ
had been to them.
There will be services tonight
at 1870.

The local Offices of the Washburn
Ignite Coal company received over
500 estimates from residents of the
city and various other points who
were interested in securing the load
of coal which was entered in the big
industrial parade Thursday after
noon, and which the company Of
fered to the person who guessed
closest to its exact weight That the
advertising stunt attracted consider
able attention is very evident from
the fact that half a thousand guesses
were submitted.
The company received estimates
until Friday evening. Saturday
morning the guesses were checked
up and the load of coal weighed. 1t
was found to weigh 10,14O pounds. or
over five tons, and the closest esti-
mate received by the company was
1912 pounds, the guess of Stefan
Kostezky of Bismarck. Mr.. Kostezky
was only % pounds off the actual
weight.
Among the other close estimates
which were received were the FOL-
lowing:
H. T. Murphy. ..1O.101
Gertrude Leonard .1O.1O0
Joseph Andren .10,095
E. H. Pierce 10000
The higest estimate was $4,000
pounds. and the lowest guess sub
mitted was 900 pounds.
The company delivered the coal to
the inner this morning. The great
interest displayed in the contest the
feels more than justified the
awarding of the premium.

Country Entertaininu.

While in the country the children will need some entertainment, as even the novelty of gathering wild flowers and running wild" will wear off after awhile. One excellent way of enter taining them. or. rather. of teaching them to entertain themselves, is to have them make bathing place for birds. This may be done by placing shallow trough partially fin the ground and keeping it filled with fresh water. It is astonishing how soon the feathered people will find this luxury and how merrily they will enjoy It. One seems to tell another. and soon the birds pool will afford entertain ment for many hours each day to the children who watch the happy bath CTS. They will thus become acquaint- ed with the air folk and will be more eager to learn of their lives and their haunts.
