Shooting the Robins

Complaints are made by local bird
lovers that small boys in the city are
violating the law by shooting at
flock of robins that light about the
city. 1t is charged that in some of
the outlying parts of town the boys
have been especially busy against the
birds and their action has aroused the
ire of those who like to see the birds
come back each year. If the shoot
ing of the birds is continued they as
sert that prosecutions will follow.

STRONG SERMON HEARD
BY CAPACITY AUDIENCE

The Methodist church was crowded to
its capacity last Sunday night when
Rev. F. fl. Farrand, patsor of the church
delivered his RED Light sermon.
Mr.. Farrand was formerly a railroad
man and knows full we'll that a red
light is q railroad mans signal of dan
ger or disaster.
In his sermon Sunday night Mr.. Far
rand placed red light or a danger signal
before the following vices which he con-
:sidered the curses of mankind: Tobacco
using, reading bad literature, card
playing, liquor. dancing and social evils.
His talk was very plain and he re-
vealed some awful truths concerning the
dance hell and the drunkards' den.
The speaker warned mothers against
allowing the modern novel or works of
fiction to come into the home. Being
read for results only, it Injuries the
memory and leads the young mind to
follow their examples with entirely
different results. Cards should also be
eliminated from the home, where
most gamblers get their start. the
speaker said. He depicted the life
of a gambler and the horrible crimes
that are connected Herewith, as also
with the drinking habit IL:
The dance hall. the speaker said, was
the home of prostitution. It is the place
where innocent girls are thrown into the
society of all classes and conditions of
men. One never hears of stag or lady
dances and if the squeeze was elm
mated the dan &c habit would die out.
When a man pays his price of admis-
sion to the dance hall he buys the priv
ilege to hug" every lady in the hall.
Mr.. Farrand spoke strongly on the
social evil question. He entreated the
young men to keep themselves as pure
and clean as they wish the women
whom they would marry to be.
THE Railroad To Heaven was sung
by Prof. johnson and a pretty duet was
rendered by Mrs. Carl Anderson and
Mrs. F. H. Farrand.

STARK co. MOVES AHEAD

The faith Of her people in Stark
county is shown by the fact that q fine
new court house to cost over q hundred
thousand dollars is contemplated for an
early spring activity. Stark county is
up and coming. She will not permit
unfavorable crop conditions to cause
her to stop in her forward course. We
all have our ups and downs, but the
community that it is worth while is

things and keeps moving along.-Mar-

mas PROSPECTS
ACCORDING 70 HERALD

The fact that the Deiters Fuel Co. is
trying out the coal at Medora prompted
Editor Clemens to write new enterprises
in the county seat town in the Herald
last week. He said:
The new blacksmith shop is now doing
business. giving employment to "
men. D. F. Olmsted. will help with the
shoeing and do the wood work. While
a single swallow does not make a sum-
mer drink, nor a blacksmith shop a
city. the latter may point to the tell
dency for better town. as straws show
the direction of the wind.
Where lawyers came only to attend the
sittinas of the district court. q young
lawyer blundered in two years ago,
innocently perhaps, and with later re-
aret : but the business, is satisfactory
and he is making good.
When we awoke one morning two
years ago, there vas a Chicago man
here who would start a bank. After
drinking i%ncalculable quantities of ar
tisan water. he vanished like a wrath.
and was seen nj more. On this sug-
gestion, local capital organized. and
where the pleadings of the impecunious
borrower was " before heard we
have a bank than which there is not a
more solid nor better %patronized in the
state.
AS late as two years ago BARRIERS and
'b~lacksmiths tried repeatedly to work in
Medora, but became so thin that they
went where they could get something to
eat and it was pronounced an impos-
sible town. Last year a barber came,
and is actually taking on flesh and cur
rency; a blacksmith. a master of his
craft, dropped in last summer and is be-
coming positively obese-money under
his belt-and has taken a partner to
handle business in a larger shop.
And nov a rumor is current that a
Dickinson firm will buy out our coal
best in North Dakota with a view to
placing large quantities of it on the
market in that city.
Every business in Medora has in
creased its trade thirty per cent in the
last two years this. and the fact that
more people are really making livings
here, lead to the conclusion that Medora
is going forward-not in excited or
feverish haste. perhaps. nor at a rate
perceptible without these marks of pro-
gress-but still, going forward.
