MISSED DEATH
BY A FEW FEET

Grand Forks, N. d., July 1S.-Hugh
McIlraith, city salesman for the Park.
Grant e. Morris Co., had a decidedly
narrow escape yesterday afternoon
when his automobile missed being hit
by the Great Northern switch n
CINE by a very few feet.
McIlraith was coming down UNI
yersity avenue toward town and
was about to cross the tracks on that
avenue. Part of the crossing there is
in good shape and part in bad SO he
cut over to the left to cross on the
smooth part. Just at that instant the
switch engine and three cars darted
across the street, coming directly to-
ward the machine. McIlraith clamped
his foot on the brake. threw out the
clutch and kept the car curving to
the left, landing In the ditch with his
machine before he came to a full stop.
The engineer in the meanwhile stop
ped the goat and came back to
where McIlraith was trying to back
onto the road, congratulating the
local salesman for his presence OF
mind.
McIlraith insists that the engine
was not ringing a bell. nor was there
any intimation to any passerby that
a train was about to o the track
at that place. The train On the
other hand insisted that the bell was
ringing and there was quite a wordy
alteration over the matter.
However, the situation was yester-
day, 1t is a known fact that the Uni
versity crossing is a decidedly dang
erous place. There are buildings.
rows OF trees and a curve there, all
combining to make a dangerous spot.
and train crews and automobilists, as
well as pedestrians should make a
special effort to stop, look and listen
when they approach the locality of
yesterdays near accident.

MAGAZINE HAS
HISTORICAL Value

Bismarck Tribune: Curator Fish
of the State Historical society has this
week received an interesting addition
to his compilation of literary product
of the state, through the presentation
by a local lady, of a complete file of
the earlier volumes of a little monthly
publication which appeared during the
early and middle '90's under the name
of Western Womanhood. The pull
cation, as it's name implied. was de-
signed to be Of particular interest to
the feminine world, and so far as
known, is the only periodical eyer
operated in North Dakota devoted to
the general interests of ladies only.
It's first appearance was made at Buff
falo. in Cass county. Later 1t was
published for a rear at Tower City.
and following that time it was pur-
chased by Miss Emma Bates, then
state superintendent of public in
struction, and was moved to Fargo.
where it was under the local man
agement of Miss Mary Wheedon.
Quite a number Of ladies more or
less prominent throughout the state
were at one time or another contri-
butors to its columns, and the publ
cation is believed to have done not
a little toward the development of
the feminine literary talent of the
period. Among contributors noticed
were Bertha York Grant, Marie Ed
wards Belknap, and Miss Bates, all
of whom win be remembered by Bis
marck residents. Mrs. Helen de Len
drecie. DIR. Cora Smith-Eaton, Eliza
beth Preston Anderson, Mrs. L T..
Muir, were among other writer's whose
names appear in its columns. The
contents include articles of interest
in reference to women's personal af-
fairs, sketches of ladies then more or
less in the public eye, and original
literary and poetic productions, some
Of which were of more than usual
merit.
Mrs. w. w. Tousley, now a resident
of Bismarck, was the first publisher
and editress of the little magazine.
which was started as an independent
venture but afterward adopted as an
organ of the state w. @. T. u, which
maintained a department in its coll
umns throughout its existence. 1t was
ultimately merged into what has been
known in recent years as The White
Ribbon Bulletin.

Anamoose, N. D., July 18.-Crops in
this vicinity are the best in the history
OF this territory, and it is expected
that wheat will yield an average OF
twenty bushels per acre. There is now
sufficient moisture in the ground to
insure a crop. Corn is the only crop
that looks poor, due to the cold
weather in May. Barley, oats and rye
are looking fine, and cutting of these
grains will begin in another week.

DOCTOR A SUICIDE.

Minneapolis, July 1s.-Dr. A. p.
Maschger of st. Paul, 80 years old,
living at 971 East Seventh street, and
having his office at 219 Lowry build
ing, a graduate Of the University OF
Minnesota, at one time an inferno in
Mayo hospital in Rochester, a student
abroad, and master of several Lam
guages, q member of the University
and the Minnesota Boat clubs, popular
among his friends, but spoken of as
an eccentric sort of person, was found
dead in a room in the Radisson hotel,
here, Wednesday.
On a table beside him were several
small walls, one containing morphine
tablets, another morphine and atro-
phine tablets, another ~turpentine and
another water. With them was a ply
sician's hypodermic syringe.
When Coroner G. NJ. Seashore ar
rived he instantly recognized the body
as that OF Maschger, with whom he
had worked in the Swedish hospital in
about 1903, directly after Maschger's
graduation from the university.
The coroner decided it was a case of
suicide, and announced that no autop-
sy would be necessary, although later
friends of the dead man expressed the
belief that an overdose of morphine,
taken to relieve the pain of an attack
of appendicitis, might have caused his
death.
Dysentery is always serious and
often a dangerous disease, but it can
be cured. Chamberiain's Collie, Chol-
era and Diarrhoea Remedy has cured
1t even when malignant and epidemic.

SILVER and GOLD
in SOUTH Dakota
LARGE INCREASE IN OUTPUT OF
ORE DURING 1912 is PREDICTED
by cHAs. w. HENDERSON OF
UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL
SURVEY.

According to Charles w. Henderson
OF the United States geological sur
vey, the total value Of the production
of gold, silver, and lead in South Da-
kota for 1911, as reported from thirty
kota for 1911, as reported from thirty
sever productive mines, seventeen of
which placers, amounted -
$7,550,758. This yield is only slightly
below that OF the record output IN
1908 and when compared with the
value of $5,467,031 in 1910 shows an
increase of $2,0S3,727 The gold tut
put was 359, 903, 800 fine ounces, valued
at $7,439,874, almost 80 per cent of
the total value. The increase in gold
for the year was 8,569.72 fine ounces
in quantity and $2,037.617 in value. The
yield of silver also increased from 11S,-
500 to 203,755 hne ounces. Smelling
ore from South Dakota in 1911 carried
64,311 pounds of lead, against 14,136
pounds in 1910. Placer gold Increased
from 1877 fine ounces in 1910 to
5S4.03 fine ounces in 1911.
A total OF 1,946,127 short tons of
ore was mined and treated in 1911,
compared with 1,523,929 tone in 1910.
OF this total 1,940.661 tons were
treated in the mills Of the state,
yielding as bullion $7,317,942 In goId
and 1889 fine ounces of silver, val

covery per ton of $3.T7 In gold and
8 cents in siler. Smelling ore, 5,46s
tons, averaged 9.959 ounces Of gold
to the ton and $50 ounces silver.
The gold mines Of the Black hills,
chiefly in Lawrence county, were
steadily operated in 1911, and in adj
dition there were a few productive
mires not operated in 1910.
The Homestake mine, which pro-
duces the bulk Of gold bullion from
this state, al the beginning OF the
year had completely overcome the
labor difficulties of 1909-10 and was
again operating at the full capacity of
its plant of 1000 stamps.
Developments of note in the north

ment toward completion of the Home
stake hydroelectric plant; the build
ing at Galena of a new smelter and

The Boston club has already won the
