building q chicken coop out at his
place In the west a heavy piece OF
timber struck him on the head and
he was rendered unconscious for some
time. He is at present on the sick
list and the executive committee Will
act 'on his case.
There never was a time IN the his
tory of the local council when SO many
of It's members have been meeting with
hard luck In the way of accidents and
are on the sick list. There appears to
be sort of calamity period for No.
So at the present time. There were
seven claims before the council execu-
tive committee at a recent session ana
there Is an average of about three at
each meeting, which takes place once
week.
P. NJ. Grice OF this city recently in
iured his arm while getting off of a
train on his way home.
George Richardson was laid up for
week by what appeared at the time
to be small thing, cinder in his
eye, 1t caused him a great deal of
pain and ne couldn't make his route.
William Ringland has recovered
from the serious injuries he received
by being speared by a large fish while
at the lake. The boys claim that the
denizen of the deep when it was
brought to land jumped up and bit
Bill in the eye.
Ole D. Dahl Of the Stone Ordean-
Wells Co. took in the Fargo CONNER
cial club Minot trip this week and he
says he was more than pleased with it.
II hn
Co.'S man, who is a member of No.
SIS. attended the last meeting OF the
council to see two Of his members "go
through" and he was very much
pleased with their general actions. He
said 1t reminded him of old times.
, Mr.. Hallowell, the representative of
Jordan & Co. of Minneapolis, has de-
c1ded to move his family to this city.
At present he is stopping at the Wal
dorf. He used to live I'm the summer
time at Detroit lake, but thinks the
strenuosity with which the police de-
partInent of that town goes after the
foreign autoists is too much for him,
and he has decided to leave. There
| have been many complaints in regard
! to this matter, as the officials down
there discriminate against the outsid- =
ers and the home automobile people.
The Travellers reporter is very much
pleased over his selection as a social
member of the local council, as he has
| the distinction of being the only one
| Of the kind in the state, and if the
boys will only send in items occasion
ally he will be even better pleased.
Bill Laimer he of the Gardner ho-
| tel, will you kindly inform the public
where that tobacco salesman of your s
| has gone?
l. A big dinner will be one Of the great
big features for the next meeting
when there will be a heap of social
! features pulled off. Bishop has the
programme we'll in hand, and doesn't
| propose to let any one ball it up
! either.

WINTER VS.. SUMMER.

"5ilI" Way, the Poet Traveller, Tells
the Difference Between the Two.
In winter oft rise at night
And dress by hotel candle-iight;
And then at depot cold must wait,
Because my train is always late.
In summer, quite the other way,
The train I'm on arrives ere day;
Too late the inns repose to share.
TOO soon to taste it's morning fare.
And does it not seem hard to you,
When others skies are bright and blue
And l should like so much TO play,
To have to work both night and day?

A certain friend of Bcb Mcintyre of

take trip to Minneapolis. Before
taking his leave, however, he went to
Mr.. Mcintyre and borrowed the swag-
gerest thing you ever saw in a suit

would watch it every minute and would

KNIGHTS OF THE GRIP.

James Campbell of Jamestown and
Tom Vallancey Of Dickinson, two of
the ablest of the Stone Ordean- w ellis
travellers were in and paid their re-
spects and other things to the big
chief, F. W. Clark, and they reported
that business in their sections was
all that it should be. Valancey used
to be resident of Fargo and likes
to get back this way occasionally.
Jack McGann has raised his right
hand and stated that he will sign no
more players for his baseball team of
next season. He wants it distinctly
understood that he wants a team of
nine or ten men and that he doesn't
propose to take two teams up to
Crookston, as those who are sending
in their names would appear to think.
Harry Johnson Is one of the new
members of Fargo council No. 65, and
1t might be stated that he was born
and raised and has lived all his life
in this city. 1t sounds kind of funny
to the old men to see boys born and
bred in Fargo being taken in just now.
1t makes the old timers like Tom Dunn
sigh for hair restoratives or hair dyes.

And James Wright went home to
tell his wife and daughter that John
Bartlett was liar and an idiot. and
that he had spoken to him for the
last time. While the wife tried to
soothe the angry man. the daughter
ran away to her room TO weep The
quarrel between the two men would
of course break up the love affair.
And John Bartlett went home to
tell his wife. and few hours later
to inform his son. that he had
dropped James Wright forever. and
would not move foot to save him
from an auto accident.

That evening a very detected pair
of lovers sat in the parlor of the

the door and told to take himself
elsewhere. and though he had escaped
that humiliation there was cause FOR

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All

New York. Feb. 6.-Under the lead Of
the coalers, quotations of stocks advanced
vigorously for a time, today Trading
was fairly active with keen bidding for
the Hartman stocks and some of the
Southern issues as well as the coaiefS.
The strength Of these spread through the
list and the market became broad With
substantial advances i'll every quarter.
But the movement seemed to be largely
Inanipulative and evoked no sustained de-
mand. Short covering was decided lac

buying of bonds has been fairly active
recently, there are no indications that
the demand is spreading to the hlGh

The demand for the coal stocks re-
suited in an advance in Central Railway

ular.
The opening bid of $40 was advanced
steadily with no offers and 1t was neces-
aary To raise the price % points before
stock was sold. Delaware ~ Hudson
