REDUCE FIRE WASTE
Fire Prevention Day Cele-
brated Today.
National News Association


CHICAGO, Oct, 9.-The fortieth an
niversary of the great Chicago fire
was observed not only in this city
and state, but in many other states OF
the Union, where the respective gov
ernors set aside the day under the
appellation of fire prevention day
to be observed in the interest OF the
interstate movement of reducing the
enormous losses by fire sustained an
nually throughout the country. In
compliance with the agreement reach
ed by the governors of various states
at their conference a short time ago,
Governor Deneen had issued procla'
nation setting aside the anniversary
day of the great fire as fire proven
ton day." and had asked the citizens
to cooperate in the interest OF the
movement for the reduction of losses
by fire. Last year the property loss
by fire in the United States was 1894
47O,65O, of which Illinois bore its
of about $11,0OO,000. Between 1901
and 1910 the per capita loss to every
man, woman and child in the United
States was $2.71 for this fire waste
while in Europe the loss was only 80
cents per head. In Germany the per
capita loss was only 10 cents.
The special features of today's OBJ
servance of the day were an exhibit
ton arranged by the Chicago Histori
cal society, to illustrate the great Chi
cago fire of 1871 and the various
phases of Chicagos civic develop
ment; and a general cleaning up OF
back yards, cellars, attics and and 9th
er places where combustible material
is usually accumulated.

Wonderful Hats.

On one occasion Lincoln was pre-
scented with two fine hats. each by a
different hatmaker, neither knowing
that the other had made such con-
tribution. In the course Of events
they called upon the president. and it
so happened that both called at the
same time. When both found them
selves In the presence Of the executive
they asked how he had liked the hats
they had sent him. and, taking advan-
tage Of the opportunity of securing a
statement of superiority Of one or the
other make. the president was asked
to state his preference. To many men
such a question would be very embar-
RAISING. but to Lincoln not at all. He
took the hat. one in each hand. and
then replied gravely. but with mis-
chievous twinkle in his keen eyes:
Gentlemen. your hats do mutually
surpass each other!'

CATARRH OF STOMACH
Indigestion and Stomach Agon,
Quickly Ended

quickly 6noeo
If you went to thirty doctors and
paid each his fee for a prescription for
indigestion or stomach misery it is ten
chances to one you wouldn't get such
good prescription as the one from
which MONA stomach tablets are
made.
How can such a thing be? you nat
urally ask.
Simply because the man who wrote
the prescription from which MONA
tablets are matte knows more about
stomach diseases than SO per cent of
all the physicians in America, and he
gets paid for knowing.
And when you can get a large box

LOSES
TEAM And WAGON

Devils Lake, N. D., Aug. 24.-Joseph
Kaya, an Indian from the Fort Totten
reservation, complained yesterday
evening to Sheriff Mclean about the
loss of a team of horses. He describes
them as one bay mare marked v. l..
on the left hip, white stripe on the
face, black gelding marked Al on the
hip, both horses shoes on front feet,
hitched to a wide tired wagon with
hay rack. A pitchfork and blanket
was left i'm the rig.
The above probably explains a
strange happening at Chautauqua last
night. About 10 o'clock a team came
tearing down the Chautauqua railroad
track and landed bump against a car
which was standing on the sidetrack
near the Chautauqua station. Occu-
pants of the biological station were
aroused and they tied the team. Dur
ing the night the team was taken
away. How the horses ever got on
the railroad lis quite a mystery.
Pieces of the hay rack were found
on the track this morning and it was
necessary to stop and clear 1t away
before the train could pass.

IN. D. EXHIBIT AT
The ST. PAUL SHOW
COM. w. c. eILRREATH WILL
HAVE EXCLUSIVE CHARGE
OF THE EXHIBIT.

II
Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 24-The
North Dakota exhibit at the ST. Paul
land show next December. will be I'M
der the exclusive personal direction
Of W. G. GiIbreath, state Commissioners
of agriculture.
While It has been given out through
newspapers in the eastern part Of the
state that the North Dakota exhibit
would be handled through CONNER
cial club bodies and an executive com
Inittee with Ex-Governor Sarles at the
head, the report lis unfounded.
The contract for $40 square feet of
f1oor space at the st. Paul auditorium
has been signed personally by Com
missioner Gilbreath, and the space is
taken in his name
Mr. Gilbreath has decided to take
the exhibit from the displays at the
North Dakota industrial exposition.
and he will cover the entire space al
lotted to North Dakota with exhibits
from this exposition This means that
II the commercial bodies and Others
would make an exhibit Of North Da-
kota grains, grasses, ETC., at the st.
raul land show in the North Dakota
booth they should send their exhibit
TO Bismarck, or it may be necessary
LOT them TO maintain separate ex-
hiblt from that made in the name of
the state through Commissioner Gill
breath, and 1t will then be necessary
Tor them to pay for a space at the
rate of 50 per foot.
Commissioner Gilbreath has heen
laboring night and day for several
months to secure the very best that
North Dakota has to offer in the way
of an exhibit for the state Industrial
exposition. His labors have been re-
warded to the extent that fully 70
per cent Of the counties of the state
will be represented at the exposition
with the most complete and extern
sive display OF resources from an ag-
rlcultural standpoint that it is possible
10 gather From this immense dis
play Of the states resources Mr.. GIL
breath has decided to gather his ex-
hibit for the st. Paul land show. and
he will require every inch of the 500
square feet allotted to the state for
this exhibit.
As soon as the North Dakota ex-
position closes, which will be Oct is.
Mr.. Gilbreath will personally super
intend the gathering of the exhibit
for the st. Paul show, and from pres
ent indications, the exhibit will be the
most elaborate and comprehensive that
the state has ever been able to pro-
duce.
The mistaken idea seems to have
gained ground that North Dakota ex-
hibit at st. Paul next December would
be the result of and would be under
the direction of individuals scattered
about the state, assisted by a few
commercial organizations. This is all
wrong any exhibit in the name OF
North Dakota must, by reason of the
law, be under the direction of the COM
missioner of agriculture, and Mr.. GIL
breath will see that the duty thus
imposed upon him is given the very
best that his years Of years OF ex-
perience in gathering exhibits of the
states resources have made possible.
