A new ad in this issue. of The Tri-
bune is that of the LangWorthy
Lumber Co., which is real interest
ing and should be read by all SUBJ
scribers of this paper. This firm
has now on hand probably the most
complete stock of lumber to be
found in the county, mostly all hav-
ing been in the shed here but
short time and is entirely new. Dur
ing the past two years there was but
little doing in the lumber line and
for that reason the company let its
stock go down to almost nothing.
Now that a good crop was raised
here many carloads of good season.
ed lumber was rushed in and all of
it is in the very best of condition.
Since publishing the article last
week in regard to the mail order
business of Donovan Bros. of this
city, we learn that J. K. Martin G
Co. of Coteau has also added mail
order department to its retail bust
ness. The Coteau firm is also CIV
ing away free to all who call for
them 700 page catalog which con-
tains everything a person could wish
for, except groceries, at prices which
defy competition at Chicago or else
where. Every article listed in the
catalog will, on an order, be shipped
direct from the factory, saving sew
eral middlemen's profit. If the
purchaser is dissatisfied with any
article after it arrives, Mr.. Martin
promises to return every cent paid
including the freight. Nothing but
standard goods are shown in the
catalog, and the book is we'll illus
trated and gives a detailed descrip-
ton of every article. Mr.. Martin
states that he will gladly supply all
comers with a copy of the catalog
if they will request him to do so.
Supplements will be issued every
few weeks, and another big cata-
log will be sent out six months from
now.

BAD WRECK ON G.

Arthur Over of Williston Al.
most Instantly Killed and
Y Many Were Injured

Williston, N. D., Oct. 22.-Run-
an hour, the west bound pay train
crashed head-long into an east
bound local freight running about
thirty miles an hour, between Cul-
bertson and Bainville, Mont, yes
terday afternoon, with the result
that Arthur Over, fireman on the
freight and a resident of this city,
was almost instantly killed and
Walter Gibson, a brakeman on the
freight was SO badly injured that
doubts are entertained as to his re-
covery. VIM. Keys of this city, en-
gineer on the local freight, was bad
ly hurt, having sustained cuts about
the head and a broken arm and 9TH
er painful injuries. Fireman Han
son on the pay train was badly in
jured, while Sam Dahl, engineer on
the pay train escaped uninjured.
Gibson, whose injuries are the most
serious, had his right arm torn off
and was otherwise terribly injured.
He has been married only about two
The exact cause of the wreck
could not be learned, but it is un-
derstood that both trains were run
ming on orders which would leave
the blame upon the dispatcher. The
collision occurred on sharp curve
about half way between. Culbertson
and Bainville.
- The injured men were brought to
Williston and are in the hospital
here.

been employed as one of the team
sters at the Thompson grading
camp just outside the city, died on
Tuesday morning Of this week at the
home Of Mrs. Josephine Probst here
after several weeks illness from
typhoid pneumonia. He took Ill
during the wet weather about two
weeks before his death and spent
five or six days at the camp thinking
he had nothing more serious. than
bad cold and thought he required
no medical attention. As his con-
dition grew worse he was moved to
the Probst residence and a physic-
ian called to look after him. The
disease had gotten too far ahead
to be checked and after eight days
under a Doctors care here, he pass
ed away as above stated. His uncle,
VIM. Bolin, was wired to and arriv-
ed the next day. He ordered the re-
mains prepared for shipment and
took them to Audubon, Minn.,
where interment took place.
Only about fifty of the 100 mail
order catalogues issued by Donovan
Bros. of this city have so far been
distributed among the people of
this communitl, but the results de-
rived from this publicity are very
gratifying to the firm. Many orders
are coming in every day, and some
go up pretty close to the 500 mark.
Money is simply rolling into the
Donovan store, and where a depOs-
it in the bank was made only once
a day formerly, the Donovans now
find it necessary to pack large sums
to the bank every few hours. BY
the time the other so catalogs are
distributed and the threshng is all
done it may be necessary for the
employment of the drayman to
make regular hauls to the bank
twice or more times daily. The
farmers are showing their apprecia-
tion of the low prices, and almost
to a man believe in patronizing
home industry when all other con-
ditions are equal.
The board of county commission
ers hold their next regular monthly
meeting commencing on Thursday
of next week and will probably be
in session for several days.
The Tribune is in receipt of a
communication from Rev. T. B.
Cave, for the past year pastor Of
the local M. E. church, but who is
now at Winnetoon, Neb., in which
the reverend gentleman answers the
statemet published in the last is
sue of this paper in regard to his
being paid in full before leaving
here. He maintains that he did not
receive as much as the local congre-
cation agreed to pay him. and re-
quests that we publish his letter.
AS the letter is quite lengthy and
no good can come from our giving
it publicity, we are declining to pub
lish it. However, those interested,
may call at this Office and see what
he has to say for himself.

w. A. Blaine, formerly of this
city but now of Blaine, Sask., is
here looking after his farm, having
arrived on Tuesday night from AM
brose, to which place he drove from
his Canadian farm. He intends to
spend a month or more here in put
ting up new buildings on his land
and in other ways improving the
place. In talking with The Tribune
he informed us that he had most of
his threshing completed, but that
majority of the farmers in the vi
cinity OF Byrne were behind in their:
work and would probably not get
their grain threshed this fall.
Many new machines were shipped
into that country this fall and men
seem. to be great deal more plen-
tiful than they are here, but the
crop raised was tremendous and sew
eral days threshing is required for
each quarter section of land.
Geo. H. Carey, one of the stew
ards of the M. E. church of this
city, informs us that he received a
communication from the minister
which has been assigned to the local
church in which the latter states
that he will be unable to get car
in which to ship his household
goods to this place for week or
more, and that until he is able to
get his personal effects to this city,
he can not come here himself. He
writes that he will in all probable
ity be here some time next week,
and will hold services a week from
next Sunday.
Mines. W. L. Doe and Ole Fro
saker visited with friends at Colum-
bus on Wednesday of this week:
The weather during the past week
has been exceptionally good for
threshing, stacking and hauling
grain, and we noticed there were
very few idle people in this vicinity
during that time. Threshing has
made great progress since this
nice weather set in and probably
half of the grain in the county at
the preset time is in the bins. The
other half could be put through the
machine in two or three weeks if
the weather remained favorable.
The present spell is the longest Pc
riod of good weather We have had
this fall, and it looks as though it
were gong to continue.

SHOES ARE STOLEN
BY An FRESHMAN
Son of Erin Sells Brogans to
Greeks at Greatly Reduc-
ed Prices

Devils Lake, Oct. 23.-Devils
Lake has a big Irishman who is
stealing from freight cars and SELL
ing IS pairs of shoes to Twin City
Greeks for IS cents, according to a
Greek who "let the cat out of the
bag" to newspaper man on a
train Sunday.
The Greek, who apparently took
great delight in telling of the under
ground method of business, said
that he had noticed a fine pair. of
shoes on one of his countrymen in
St. Paul and had asked him how
much they cost. The man told him
IS cents a pair and that he could
get all he wanted by writing
to a "big Irishman in Devils Lake"
whose name he did not remember.
The loquacious Greek told the news
paper man that many of his coun-
trymen in st. Paul were taking ad-
vantage of the Irishman's reduced
prices and were wearing the best
shoes on the market which cost5less
than 81 a pair.
Sheriff Stainhofer returned yes
terday afternoon from Sioux City,
Iowa, where he went few days
ago for the purpose of arresting the
Hanson-J lessen couple which eloped
from west Of the city about six
weeks ago. The young man is 21
years old, while the bride is claim
ed to be only 16, and the charge
against him is that of abduction.
The couple were married at Sioux
City only a few days after leaving
here. Their preliminary hearing:
will probably take place this morn

S. A. Stefonowicz received a
challenge on Monday Of this week
for a wrestling match to be held
here on Wednesday evening of this

tana, but as the chances that no
crowd could be gotten together at
this time of the year unless some
other attraction came with it, the
match, was not pulled off. The
challenge was Immediately accepted
at the time it was offered, but after
the fair had been called off Mr.. Moe
was wired not to come. Both Stef-
onowicz and Moe are anxious to
meet each other, and no doubt a
match will be arranged later on
either for this city or Ambrose. Mr..
Moe weighs 172 pounds stripped,
just about the weight of Stef.

Want TO
RETAIN
TEACHER
MANY PARENTS PETITION THE
SCHOOL BOARD FOR RETEN-
TION OF MISS ALICE c. FUL-
LER IN EAST WARD SCHOOL

The disseminating of the services
of Miss Alice c. Fuller as a teacher
in the first grade of the East Ward
school has caused considerable dis
satisfaction among the parents
whose children she taught. This
took definite form Monday when
at meeting of the school board a
petition was presented asking that
Miss Fuller be reinstated.
There were several hundred sign
ers to the request, which was
brought to the meeting by number
OF prominent citizens, accompanied
by their wives. Represented in the
list of petitioners are many OF the
leading residents of the city.
1t is said that the reason given
for not including Miss Fuller in the
teachers list Tor next year is that
her health is not sufficiently good
to continue the work. Her friends
claim that she is in better health
than she has been for years and
physically is able to perform her
duties more satisfactorily than ever.
In addition to the claim that her
health is better than in the past,
the parents of the children she has
taught assert that she is one of the
best teachers in Greeley and that
her work for years has been emf
nently satisfactory to the parents
and of exceptional benefit to the
children. 1t is also said that she is
popular with the little folks as we'll
as their parents and that unless the
board has some better reason than
the one advanced for dismissing her
it would be we'll to retain her SER
vices Indefinitely.
In response to the petition the
board promises the representatives
of the petitioners to look into the
matter thoroughly and take some
definite action on the petition at a
later date

LADIES
PROGRAM
A SCREAM
EIGHTH ANNUAL MEETING OF
COMMERCIAL CLUB Is GREAT
SURPhISE PARTY FOR MERE.
MEN WHO ATTEND

There was nothing stereotyped
about the eighth annual meeting of
the Greeley Commercial club at the
Camfield Monday, when the ladies
had charge of the program. A sur
prise was promised and it came in
the delightfully."- informal evening
that followed the elaborate dinner
that was finished by s O'Clock.
Last year the ladies patterned
after the men in having a bunch of
what Greeley needs stuff reeled
off from various angles. This year
the meeting was in a lighter vein
and was heartily enjoyed by the
large number attending.
Music, a playlet, woman suff-
rage demonstration and very bad
but enthusiastic singing on the part
Of the. audience prevented the men
ladies from yawning until the las
surprise was over.
Pertinent pointers for the mere
men were to be found in "A Three
Cornered Affair.", farce written
by Mrs. Lstabrook for the one oc-
casion only. 1t was interpreted by
Miss Dorothea Haynes, Mrs. w. II
starr, MIS- vi ave ~ <hiiNA sAio -i' -
w r. Kelly.
Prior to the playlet Mrs. Luther
Beaman sang charmingly grouI
of ballads.
The men were allowed a minor
part in the entertainment. A fe"
of the most model husbands brought
down the house when they marched
/ in the front of the dining room:
D will
gettes. The only down troddeI
man in the bunch was Mr.. Slim

helpless meet was in the person O
Isadore Rothschild, disguised in
picture hat and mother hubbard
dress. The pair were scream ant
were features of the suffrage meet
ing held on the stage at the end o
the dining room.

last night are in favor of ALLOWING
the ladies more frequent opportun
ity of arranging the club programs
