STRATFORD

Four fires in town on as many sue
cessive days gives quite a color Of ex-
element to the local atmosphere, and
sets home reporters to running in all
directions. First, a lamp explodes at
Avon Park and an alarm is telephon-
ed to Tuttle's; then the chimney in
the Russell house begins to belch forth
frightful columns of flame; then some
body sets a heap Of rubbish on fire
in California street. and the fire
heads straight for houses and barns,
and now to cap the climax, the CHM
ney in the old Walker house began to
smoke furiously on Thursday morning
and ''still alarm was turned in, so
as not to unduly excite the business
section. 1t was a case of foul CHM
ney, or too much ''sut" as they say
in the rural districts. The Walker
house being an extensive structure it
IS occupied by q number of families,
as we'll as boarderS. BY dint of Eek

Arthur Sammis is entitled to much
of the credit for procuring for the

perts, for twice the sum it has cost
the town.
Somebody has painted very good
picture of our old fish market, as
curiosity shop, and placed it on a
poster in the post office. as a remin-

It is now thought, in we'll informed
circles, that work on the new post Of

MISS Limb and Mrs. Hall eventual

accusing him of not operating his
place properly.
When it looked like the rescue
home successfully had wfthstood all
attacks from withouts internal strife
broke out and the Housemanns sepa-
rated. Mrs. Housemann retained their
home, and it is there that the three
women are doing fancy work and sip

guishes behind the bars, vainly send
ing notes to the third wife. asking for
some home cooking.
1t was after the Housemanns sepa-
rated six weeks ago that Mrs. Sarah
Housenann decided to divorce the
clergyman, and it was in her search
for information regarding his past
that she learned of the former wives.
She communicated with them and
learned that the dates of their divor-
ces and his marriages were in conflict.
Her two predecessors agreed to help
her in every way possible and the big

Daily Housemann has sent notes to
his third wife, asking her to drop the
case and in the meantime to send him
some decent food. She proposed to
the others that they all go down to
the Jail to see him, but the divorced
wives declined and she would not go
alone.
When the morning mail arrives Mrs,
Housemann reads the jail missive
aloud and the three Of them laugh
heartily over the Rev. Mr.. House,

mixing of dates" Housemann said, Il

my wives and they divorced me. In
the second and third marriages L

US a great deal of trouble and my
wife blamed that on me-
Mrs Charles Hall, who was Mrs
Ida Housemann the first wife, was
married to him many years. and has
grown sons now living in st. Louis.
For several years Housemann lived
in st. Louis county and was promin-

Housemann is forty-one years old and
the first wife is about the same age,
but the others are twenty-five. All

why they married him.

"HAVE 1T At BISMARCK"

Beach Chronicle: Bismarck is try
ing to get the State Industrial En-
position and We believe that they are
entitled in asking for it. 1t is not
only the capital city. but is better sit
uated economically and geographic
ally than any other city in the entire
state.
This is going to mean a great thing
for North Dakota. Each county will
participate in friendly competition for
prizes to be offered by the state for

each county produces. 1t vii! be we'll

to the exposition on the date set. Let's

In addition to the foregoing there
will be educational, domestic sci
ence and art departments, super
vised by competent instructors. In
fact. all branches will be embraced in
this exhibition so as to make it SO
general that it will appeal to all of
the people.
Oregon, Washington, Montana, Min
nesota. and South Dakota, have their
exhibitions of grain. Why not North
Dakota have an exposition to attract
people and exhibit publicity?
Bismarck is trying nard to get the
exposition there, and. we believe that
it is the logical point. Visitors will
be compelled to travel several hundred
miles across the state and they will

DICKINSON FOR BISMARCK.

Press: The Dickinson Commercial
club has endorsed Bismarck for the
place where the proposed resource ex.
hibit should be properly held.
BY holding this exhibit at the capt.
tai city the management will have ac-
cess to all the state historical collec-
tions which would naturally be of
considerable importance in this con.
nection. 1t would also be central
which is another very important fac
tor in obtaining the greatest good from
the resource exhibit. With our many
new branch railroads, the people from
the north and from the south could
get to Bismarck and derive a great
benefit, whereas, if city like Fargo

INDUSTRIAL ExHiBiT.

John Andrews in the Lidserwood
Broadaxe has the following 10 say
regarding the State Fair and the pro-
posed Agricultural Exhibit:
commissioner OF Agriculture and
Labor Gilbrea.h very foolish trick
the other day. He offered TO put
on L.splay at the State fair at Fargo
and Grand Forks an industrial ex-
hibition of the agricultural and other
resources of the state. Very proper.
~ he was turned down. The state
fair is held in July and is not. as
some of US ignorant supposed, for ag-
ricultural purposes. 1t is for horse
racing and some gambling games, and
a midway plaisance OF. fakes and buff
ICONS. 1t is there to get the money.
People may come to see exhibits of
what the country can do. But what
they will spend their money for is
watching airships soar, seeing auto
mobiles tear up the track and in tim
ing Dam Scratch and Minus Hair and
like celebrities. The only farming
exhibition Of any kind at the Fargo
fair was one sent there by Richland
county, and that was worth while.
But it put no money in the fair treas
ury. Therefore-away with tire
lease unto us Barney Oldfield! Some
day we will get a real state fair, where
the resources of our state along in
dustrial lines will be shown to the
world. Eut in the meantime, il
Commissioner Gilbreath will just sug-
gest some unheard-of leap-the.gap
stunt he will have done more to earn
the gratitude of the powers that be
than by trying to show what sort of
corn We can raise. Despite the re-
buff Mr.. Gilbreath will try to get this
exhibition on somewhere else and Bis
mark is trying for it. We are in.
clined to think he might give Mandan,
which already has an appropriation
for an agricultural fair, look in. 1t
would make great combination.
However. please remember, that the
state fair is not an exhibit. 1t is
merely an amusement enterprise. a
Coney Island, that the state must pay
for"

DON'T QUIT SCHOOL.

With the approaching close of the
year of our public schools. many OF
our boys are getting restless to go to
work. Some of them are anxious to
quit books for the shop or store or
even before they have reached the
high school grades.
The jingling of the pocket money
enjoyed by the little older fellows
looks manly and grand to some of
these youngsters. TO get 81 day
at some boys job, to have some spend
ing money to treat the girls. and to go
on junkets, without asking Dad for
financial help-that seems to be am.
bition enough.
And yet how many fellows have ut
terly spoiled their future by throwing
away the dollars of tomorrow for the
pennies of today!
Every American boy needs. not nee
essarily classical high school course
but an amount of work. either in lit
erary or technical school. equivalent
to high school course.
That fellow who lacks ii occasion.
ally gets ahead owing TO some pos
session of exceptional gifts. In nine
cases out of ten he is so crude and
awkward mentally that he remains
Il plodder. ditch digger and ribbon
measurer all his life. Don't do it,
boys!
Justice Harlan may entertain a dit.
'erent view from all the rest of the
court, but not until man has de-
fed his wife's opinion do we know
hat he has independent convictions.
