The progress accomplished by The
Tribune bespeaks what can be accom-
plished by a modern business insti'
tuition on the Missouri slope. The
Tribune all its years has commended
that Bismarck would become the
leading trade center of the Missouri
slope if not of the state, and with
that in mind The Tribune has ever
taken the lead in the march of COM
mercial progress as made by the capt.
tai city. The Tribune believes it has
a right to the contention that it is
the leading institution within the city
today. Its payroll is probably larger
than any other institution, it's volume
of business is constantly increasing,
and the big plant is gradually
being m%odernized to meet the heavy
demands of patrons from all over
this section of the state. The high
point of standard which The Tribune
has always maintained with the peo-
pie of this section Of the state has
all to do with the institution gaining
such a prominent position as it Oc-
cupies today. "

The Tribune has been somewhat

machine has been given a thorough
tryout, the public is cordially invited

and memorable treat, while as an art
istic exposition of the possibilities of
dramatic reading, it amounted to a
yeritable triumph.
The elements of Nine. .Labadie's
art are somewhat difficult to
analyze. She does more than create
a stag illusion; she presents real
living characters: Just how she does
it, is hard to say. In ordinary even
ing dress, without the assistance Of
effects of any kind, and without at
any time moving a dozen steps from
the center of the stage, she yet sue
ceeds in placing before her hearers
the separate and widely varying fig
ures Of the play. And these charac-
tiers are all distinct and sharply de-
fined BY the m%odulations of an eX-
pisite voice, by an indefinable some
thing which amounts scarcely to
more, than suggestion, the effect is
produced, and the audience see and
recognizes the characters which she
herself perfectly visualizes.
The play chosen for Interpretation
in this city is Ram Kennedy's 1.-THE
Servant in the House.

work. It was a great revelation to
the spectators, and marked another
epoch in the progress Of the great
printing plant and newspaper of the
Missouri slope.
In printing The Tribune on this
press another style Of print paper is
necessarily used. In place of the time
bundles of fiat print paper, rolls
Weighing approximately 1000 pounds
are placed OF the press. While the
big press was being set up the stock
OF the old style paper ran rather low,
and there was just about enough left
to put out The Tribune till the new
machine was under Roadway. There

at Bijou theater at Bismarck under
