Should any Of your out-of-town
friends express doubt as to Cairo's
complete recovery from the recent
flood, refer them to the many adj
vertisements that appear in today's
issue Of The Bulletin. 1t Is safe 10
base your judgment of city on the
amount of advertising printed by
its newspapers. If the newspapers
are filled with advertising, it is a
certain sign that the city is a
live" progressive, husthng place.
1t is the advertising merchant who
helps to make city grow, for it Is
his investment in display space that
attracts the attention OF outsiders,
many of whom eventually visit the
city to participate in the bargains.
Wherever there IS lack of adver-
Using, there is lack Of life. Ad-
yertising creates life by creating a
demand FIR articles offered for sale.
The livest town is the livest adver-
tiser. The same applies TO mer-
chants The big merchants invaria-
bi? are the biggest advertisers.

never had all OF the children to-

prepare 125 children, and drill 50
every afternoon for four weeks, may
seem like a most tremendous under
taking to some, but for myself it
was pleasure and delight-and !

getting ready and presenting such d
program necessitated much time
hard work, and patience. But tht

TAUGHT EXPERTS A LESSON
Accident While Casting Cannon Re,
suited In Foundation Of Present
English Gun Factory.

We owe our present arsenal az
Woolwich to an accident. The gov.
eminent had gun foundry in Moor
fields, where, upon one occasion, in
the year 1716, distinguished party
were gathered together to witness the
operation Of casting large cannon.
A young foreigner, named Schlach,
who seems to have been almost an
entire stranger, but who was well &C.
quainted with the details Of casting,
noticed that one Of the molds had
been tnsuf1ciently dried, and warned
the molders against using 1t. They
disregarded his advice, and when he
saw that he could not prevail upon
them to desist, he Immediately put
himself well out Of harms way be-
cannon was cast. A terrible
explosion occurred when the molten
metal rushed into the wet mold, ow.
ing to the sudden generation Of steam
that could find no outlet, and several
persons were killed and a large num-
Der injured. s.,.4 ~
It is said that search was made for
the man whose predictions had been
80 painfully verified, and that the gov
eminent employed him to advise
about the best mode of preventing
such accidents in future. The result
was that Moorflelds was given up as
a site of gun foundry altogether,
and uron his advice the establishment
was removed to the Warren at Wool.

WARD COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
ARE RESTRAINED BY Will
.sr,s HsToN JUDGE.

MfNOT, N. D., Aug. 30.-The Ward
county commissioners were temper
arily restrained from disposing of the
building located on the corner Of Fifth
street and Belyea avenue and occupi-
ed by st. Joseph's hospital by an
order granted to John Ehr by Judge
Frank E. Fisk of Williston this fore
noon. Judge Fisk is sitting at the re-
quest of Judge K. E. Leighton, who is
at present enjoying vacation at Min
nesota points. The order is return
able September 18th when the COM
missioners will be compelled to show
cause why the Injunction should not
be made permanent.
Mr.. Ehr claims that the question of
selling the hospital property has
never been submitted to the voters
of Ward county and that the commits
sioners are acting unlawfully in dis
posing of the hospital without sub
hitting it to a vote. : "s
The plaintiff contends that it is not
for the best interests of the county to
dispose OF the property at this time
and that the county will be greatly
benefited if the question of selling
the real estate is left to the voters
at the November election. He claims
that the money stringency at the pre-
sent time would compel the board to
sell the property at sacrifice.
a Mr.. Ehr has retained Attorney
George A. MCGEE to represent him in
the injunctional proceedings. ~,

ATTEMPTED TO GET MONEY
FROM POKER PLAYERS ouR
MEN USED REvoLvERs.

DARLINGTON, N. d, Aug. 80. - ~
Z Throwing a board over the camp fire
Il that was shedding light for a poker
game, four holdup men attempted to
rob the players at the jungle camp,
near the Northern Pacific stock yards;
One Of the players, Irvine Ward of
Picatonica, ILL.,, while running to .es-s
cape, was shot twice. One bullet:
went through the calf Of his leg and
one scraped his arm. He was also
beaten over the head with a revolver.
The other players escaped uninjured.
Three Of the four holdup men were
masked and at least two of them
carried revolvers. The police have
this week arrested three men, who
are said to be the men engaged in
the hold up. They give their names
as Pat Murphy, Ryan and SLIM
They are held in the county Jail. It
is claimed they have been identified
as the men who pulled of the rob
berry.
One of the poker players had a.
wallet containing $57. He threw it
into the grass and after the excite
ment was over, returned and found
it, Ward had about $40 on his cloth
es, r5# XII.
The robbers obtained what money
was in the pot for their work. 1t
amounted to only few dollars.
Ward was able to hobble up town
and his wounds were dressed by
surgeon. He was confined to bed
a few days but is around now with
the aid Of crutches. si#s
The three men in Jail have not yet
been given preliminary hearing,
but it is expected they will be ar
raigned within few days. .. =5..
