The Cecil Whig., 1911-09-30

"'1here is a tide in the affairs OF
men
Which taken at the food, leads on
to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their
life
Is bound in shadows and in miser-
les"
Chesapeake City is the third
largest town in Cecil county. 1t
seems that town of the import
ance of Chesapeake City should
have some medium through which
it might give such information to
its citizens and to the public in
general as may be of use in the
future development Of the town.
1t is to be hoped that the ar
rangement now made with the
Wing will to a certain extent fill
this need. 1t is an experiment,
and will be tried for at least one
year.
We want the hearty co-opera-
ton o each person who has the
good of the town at heart to make
this department a success.

TWO SHOT THROUGH
CARELESSNESS
An Egeland Man Put Bullet
Through Foot-other Shot
By Friend

Egeland, N. D., April 24.-Arthur
Spoerline sustained a rather painful
injury one day last week. He was
out hunting gophers and accidently
discharged the gun which was q
small caliber rife, and the bullet
went through his shoe and foot. The
wound is not a serious one although
it will be painful for. some time.
This is another warning to boys who
handle fire arms, that the least care
lessness many times results In seri-
GUS injury and many times proves
fatal.
Darlington, N. D., April 24.-While
engaged in target shooting last Sat-
urday. Ed Hartl, who resides north
west Of this city, near Bremen, was
shot through the arm. He had shot
and had gone to the target, a post
with bottle perched on top Of It.
to see If he had struck the post and
while crouching to look for the mark
his companion sought to show him
some fancy shooting by breaking the
bottle above his head. His aim was
not true aud the bullet entered Mr.
Hartls arm near the shoulder, pass
ing entirely through and breaking the
bone.

Bismarck Is in Devils Lake this week
preparing to commence the work for
the Mouse river survey Of which he

State Engineer Atkinson is expect
ed in few days to take q general

The purpose Of this survey is to
determine whether the project Of
draining the Mouse river into Devils
Lake would be feasible and II so
what the probable cost Of such an
undertaking would be. It is q we'll

see whether this could be done was
obtained at the last legislature, large

Injury

as the family was ready to start from
a claim recently selected west Of this
city, Johnny Tschider, aged I, fell
into an abandoned we'll and for a
time IT. was thought he could not es-
cape death, although the little fellow
was later hauled out without injury
beyond few slight bruises.
The youngster was playing near
the we'll with other small boys when
he slipped into the opening. He fell
only about twenty feet. however,
when the board and timbers that
lined the we'll and had been derang-
ed by time and neglect caught him
and held him suspended in the we'll.
William Esler, who happened to be
driving by, went down the we'll after
the boy, but his body being so much
larger than that of the unfortunate
lad caused the rescuer some difficulty
in getting far. enough into the we'll.
He at least reached the boy, pulled
him loose Of the boards and the boy
gripped tightly on to a rope held by
people on the surface and was pulled
to safety. -,-s.-. ~ 4--.e..' =,

Dickinson, N. D., April 24.-Con-
structton Of the Catholic Sisters hos
pital in Dickinson will start as soon
a. Power and company Of Fargo,
who were last week awarded the
general construction contract, can
get their tools on the ground which
will be early next week.
Eleven bids were submitted, but
that Of Powers & Co., Of Fargo, $72,-
$40, secured the contract. CRANKY
and Peet of Bismarck who bid $4,000
for the plumbing, heating and venti-
lating work on the new building, have
the contract for that work.
The electric wiring was let to the
City Electric Co. of Milwaukee for

42,250 additional, making a, total cost
Of the new structure approximately
100000. The hospital equipment re-
quired will largely add to this figure.
In the neighborhood Of 100000
brick, to be supplied under contract
by the Dickinson Fire and Pressed
Brick Co., will be used in construc-
ton for this hospital.
As first planned, tho hospital was
to have two stories, but It Is now
contemplated making the building
three stories high, though the upper
story may not be finished at the time
of occupancy, on or before the first
Of next year.
The new structure will be one of
the notable buildings Of the west

Powers in the Stock Market
Last Week

New York, April 24-Depressing in.
fluences predominated last week in
the stock market, which was heavy
with downward tendency. The
tense situation, which grew out of the
Missouri Pacific tangle, was chief OF
the unsettling influences and was
mainly responsible for the vigorous
selling movement of the early week
which aroused the market from its
long period Of inertness.
Growing uneasiness as to the in
dustrial situation, particularly in re.
gard to iron and steel and a DISPOSE
ton in some quarters to await the out
come of attempts at tariff legislation
before seeking to increase. business
also played their part in promoting
bearish sentiment. The break in
prices, which accompanied the first
outburst of selling in the wetk was
the most marked change, which had
taken place in the market for nearly
two months. More than fifty stocks
touched new low points for the year
during the week.
When the financial community first
tatives were to withdraw from the
Missouri Pacific directorate and cease
to act as bankers for the road, it was
generally felt that a situation danger.
GUS to the peace has arised, until II
was learned that the railroad had
been fortified by an alliance with 9TH
er strong banking interests.
The significant aspect in the new
arrangement, in Wall streets opinion
is the greater prominence of the
Rockefeller interests in the road and
the probability that hereafter they
will have larger part in the handling
Of the affairs Of the various Gould
property.
The market did not lose its heavy
tone with the settlement of the Mis-.
souri, Pacific affair, recovery being
prevented by industrial and. political
conditions. Suspension of work on q
large wire products plant in Alabama
was attributed to the possibility o1
tariff legislatioif.;
Railroad gross earnings, by tend.
ing downward in comparison will
last year, failed to convey any pro.
phesy OF reviving business. Little
lattention was given to the Mexican
situation.
