Chorus, orchestra and soloists are

The orchestra production, procured

DEATH OF "PAP" LaDUE.

The death Of Henry Hardy LaDue,
pioneer, soldier Of the rebellion and
veteran railway man occurred at his
home in Washington street Tuesday
evening at 1925 o'clock.
Mr.. LaDue was. born in Alburg,
VT, June 4, 1912, and served through
the civil war as member Of the 18th
Vermont Infantry. At the close Of
the war he entered the employ Of
the Michigan Central and New York

gineer and in 1882 entered the en-
ploy Of the Great Northern and
through the length Of the system

EARLY CLOSING.

There is movement among the
clerks Of Williston to try and get q
six o'clock closing hour. Now read.
er did you ever stop to think how
many hours a clerk works? From
seven o'clock in the morning until
eight at night-just thirteen hours
How much time does the clerk gel
for pleasure? Would it not be bet.
ter for the employer and all con.
cerned, if the business houses all
closed at six o'clock except Saturday
nights? We believe that the people
of Williston would be in sympathy
with the clerks if they realized the
hours they put in, and would be in
favor of an early closing.
The clerks would certainly be more
efficient and would be worth more to
their employers and also give the
public better service. And as soon
as the people get used to the six
o'clock closing they would find that it
is just as convenient for them.
The clerks are going to circulate a
petition among their customers ask
they are in favor Of early closing.
Will you sign it?
The Clerks of Williston.
The following petition will be cir
culated among you for your sigma
ture:
Would you be in favor of six o.
clock closing Of all the stores in the
city Of Williston excepting drug and
confectionery stores on all days ,ex-
cept Saturdays, if so, will you favor
US with your signature?
This move is started by the clerks
of Williston on account Of the long
hours that both the men and women
clerks have to contend with at the
present time. A clerk works from
twelve to thirteen hours a day, Civ
ing him no time whatever at home or
with his family. We feel that by
your cooperation and assistance this
can be accomplished and not hurt
are sure that the merchants of Will
liston wonld be greatly in favor of
closing if they were satisfied that it
would meet with the approval of
their customers.

chanical and electrical engineering, 80;
course in civil engineering, %; school
of medicine, 81: law school, 50; model
high school, 1874; summer session, sos;
correspondence students, 23. These
students are drawn from all parts of
this state, as thirty-seven counties Of
the state are represented. as are also
eleven other states and six foreign
