OYER $4,000 Was
RAISED AT NJ. {.
CAMP MEETING

Jamestown, N. D.. June z4.-At the
'Hallelujah March at the Methodist
camp meeting $6,179.50 was donated
and pledged TO the work of the camp
meeting association. This was the
largest collection ever taken UP at the
camp meeting n is an indication Of
the strong hold the movement has
upon the people. They own their
grounds-eight acres-and have good
buildings; all is surrounded by beau
tiful trees, and the location is all that
can be desired. Hallelujahs were
hearty and deep felt when the an
nouncement OF the collection was
made.
Here is a town of 700 people which
has been clean and orderly in every
respect There has been no need of
police or hremen or other guardians of
the public peace. Here has been a
larger town than many of the dele
gates came from, and not a billiard
hall, saloon or resort was there to
mar the harmony and peace. No cigar
and cigarette stubs contaminated the
streets. All of which are some of the
reasons why the members of the assoc
citation are rejoicing because of the
peace and joy that was theirs during
the ten days stay In Jamestown.
People have been at the camp
meeting who represent forty-two
towns. mostly in the western and
southern part Of the state, and they
represent five different states. Fiji
teen are here from Cakes, while there
are from two to half a dozen each
from La Moure, Bismarck. Mandan.
Dickinson, Beach. Hettinger, Center.
Dawson, Steele, Mott, etc, and making
q representative gathering Of farmers
and professional men.
For the first time the camp meet
ing association owns its own grounds
and equipment, and the funds win
be used to improve and etxend the
buildings and equipment, build cement
walks, etc. A thousand dollars OF the
subscriptions Of last year r. still
available.
The camp meeting closed Sunday
evening with a sermon by DR.. Weidele
of Pasadena. Cal. There have been
fifty preachers on the grounds and the
ten days have been great days with
all who attended. Miss Banning has
been prominent in all the work and
especially among the girls and chill
dren. She has been the mother of
the camp meeting.
Today is moving day, when all will
depart for their homes and outgoing
trains have been loaded to the limit.
But everyone will be a booster for
Jamestown n the Jamestown Camp
Meeting will be the talk of the state
until the camp meeting next year.

MILITIA MAY GO
TO DEVILS LAKE
ApJUTANT GENERAL TREUMAN
is AT CAPITAL AND WILL
DECIDE QUESTION.

Bismarck, N. D., June 34.-Adjutant
General w. G. Treilman is attending
the camp of instruction for officers OF
the North Dakota national guard at
Sperry. General Treumann has been
~devoting the past two weeks to COM
plotting arrangements for the annual
encampment of the state troops, which
were originally scheduled to p~artici-
pate in the war at Camp
Bruce e. Mccoy near Sparta. The veto
of the army appropriation bill by
President Taft, on account of the rider
attached that would oust General
Leonard Wood from the service, has
affected maneuvers of guardsmen.
General Treumann, on account of the
proximity of the camp date, believes
now that preparations will have to be
made to go to Camp Burke at Devils
Lake. He will discuss the situation
with Colonel Frame and other officers
in the city at present, and the camp
order will be issued in the near future,
The Devils Lake reservation is
greatly improved this year, and a
large new storehouse has been erected
In case the militia goes 70 camp at
Devils Lake the regiment will also
spend a day or two at the state fair at
Fargo. The date for maneuvers was
set for July 15 to 25, and this will
probably be adhered to.

GATHERING OF DIRECTORS or
MISSOURI SLOPE DEVELOP
MENT LEAGUE IN BIS
MARck.

Bismarck, N. D., June 24-President
Klein has called a meeting Of the new
directors of the Missouri Slope Devel-
opment league to be held at Bismarck
on the evening of Friday, June 80 ut
7:45 at the commercial club rooms,
Each county development league
has been written to and requested to
elect their representatives on the
managing board of the parent organ
ization, and they are to be In number
one to each 5000 of their county's
population.
1t is exceedingly important that this
first directors meeting be fully at
tended and that these men be capable
representatives of the counties from
which they are named, for they should
at this meeting come prepared to as
sist IN laying out the general plan
of action for the parent and county
leagues.
The first step, the organization
work, has been such a complete sue
cess and the people of all the coun-
ties as well as the commissioners in
each county are all SO heartily In
favor of the levy plan that with the
assurance of the attorney general that
a portion of the levy can be advanced
to the county leagues as soon as the
levy is made, there is no question but
that active development work can
commence early in July on a sound
business basis and with a plan that
will be the combined ideas Of some of
the best thinkers and best boosters
on the Missouri slope.
With such ammunition and with
such a healthy and promising condi-
ton on the slope at this time the re-
suits which shall be obtained ought
to eclipse anything ever undertaken
in the history Of the state.

ORGANIZE JULY 6
PETITIONS TO SECURE LEVY OF
QUARTER MILL TAX ALREADY
BEING CIRCULATED.

McClusky. N. D., June 24.-Sheridan
county boosters will meet here Satur-
day, July s at 8 b. N. for the purpose
OF organizing the Sheridan County
Development league, to. be afhliated
with the Missouri Slope Development
league. Sec. J.. B. Slosson of the lat
ter organization will be in attendance
at the gathering and will explain the
purpose of the league work.
Sheridan county is the fifteenth of
the sixteen Missouri slope counties to
organize, but the fact that the boosters
have delayed their organization will
not detract from the good work that
they will accomplish later on.
The development league movement
which swept the slope so thor
oughly, has been recognized as one
of the greatest factors in boosting
each individual county and the slope
country in general. Sheridan county
will be represented at the Industrial
exposition with a splendid display
this year and will let people of all
sections Of the country know that it
is on the map.

Milton Globe: A stranger with a
horse and buggy came to Olga some
time ago claiming he was making a
hurried journey TO his wife, who he
said was very i'll and that he was en-
tirely without funds and offered to sell

would be satisfied to take SIS down,
give a bill of sale and return next
week for the remainder of the money.
Mr.. Brusseau paid the $25 and receiv-
ed a bill Of sale for the outfit.

later and reclaimed his property, but
paid Mr.. Brusseau $40 to compensate
him in part for his loss. The thief
had a good start and no trace OF him
yet has been found. but both Mr..
Brusseau and the rightful owner are
happy that they got OFF rs cheaply as
they did.

NEGREss DISCOVERED AT
JAMESTOWN.

Jamestown, N. D., June Z4.-Fhe
petrihed body Of a young negress was
found in a long coffin shaped chest
that has lain three months in the
barn at the rear of the Andre house,
this week. About three months g
Mr.. Andre received q letter with 81

chest until the owner called. Mr..
Andre hauled the long box, which was

the screws had been drawn from the
hinges. Mrs. Andre and son exam

The murderous maniac was caught
and the remains Of his two victims
buried in the swarnps.
TN 1894 as the county ditch diggers
of Marshall county were excavating to
drain the district, they am upon two
petrified bodies, one of a white wom-
an, evidently very beautiful, and the
other of a negress buried close to-
gether. Both bodies were in a com

authorities took charge of the remains
and that of the Countess De la Jeune

The body is that of a well formed
negress. apparently about 20 years
old. The features are clear and the
white teeth stand out strikingly be-
tween the black lips. Her two arms
lay crossed upon her breast. AL
though the negress weighed about
100 pounds in life, the petrified body
weighed over 200 pounds.

FREAK STUNT OF
LIGHTNING BOLT

Sheldon Progress: During an
electrical storm Of last Monday
morning lightning played a queer
freak of nature at the home Of
Theodore Smile, living near the
Power bridge. The bolt entered
the chimney of the house and
passed down into the living rooms
where it tore a huge hole in the
side Of the house. It then struck
the bed on which Mr.. and Mrs.
Smile We're sleeping and from
there passed over to the bed where
their four children were asleep,
tearing off n Of the legs OF the
bed. 1t visited every room in the
house, damaging the walls and
ceiling to a large extent. A dog
that was in the house at the time
was paralized, his injury being so
bad that he had to be shot. There
were eight persons in the house
and no n was injured.
