BURGLARS ENTER \
CLOTHING STORE

WINDOW AND GET AWAY WITH
MONEY AND CLOTHING.

The clothing store of r. Il. Girls
ham on Main street was broken into
last night and $500 in cash and a
large amount of clothing and furnish
ings stolen. The burglar gained en-
trance to the building through an up
per rear window and after ransack-
ing the store for what he wanted,
made his exit through the rear doors,
leaving them wide open.
This morning, when Mr.. Aston,
one of the clerks of the establish
ment, opened up the store he found
things in a chaotic condition. Things
were strewn about the floor and on
show cases and the store had the
general appearance Of having had a
cyclone pass through it.

This morning at the regular session
of the city court Mayor Roberts had
a bunch Of boys up before him for
throwing some article and hitting
negro woman who was riding by in an
automobile. While it was impossi-
bic to definitely fix the blame it was
evident from the wound received by
the woman that some one hurled a
missile of some sort with sufficient
force as to cause a bad bruise. May
or Roberts handed the boys severe
lecture and let it be knowr that
colored person has as much right to
own an automobile and ride upon he
streets of the city as a white per-
son and that they would receive the
same protection. IN MS remarks the

the blame could not be fixed but ad-
Vised all the boys present that II

a like offense in the future that they
would be assessed a good fine. The
mayor took occasion to deliver lee
ture ON the manner in which bicycles
and motorcycles are being ridden
by boys and young men of the city
and told them that the last warning
had been given them in regard to fast
driving. that the police had received
definite instructions to obtain the
names of everyone found guilty of
this offense and they would be
brought into court and fined. He
further stated that the fine would
be advanced according to the num-
ber of the offenses and he would
do his best to break up this practice
if he had to fine them every day in
the week.

THE CITY PHYSICIAN is AT WAR
WITH FILTH AND BREEDING
GROUNDS OF MOSQUITO.

City Physician Booth was seen on
Main street this morning busily en-
gagged in issuing warnings to prop
erty owners who have unsightly back
yards and weed covered areas to get
busy and clean up before the real
hot weather sets in and make the
places menaces to public health.
DR.. Booth stated that he found
some Of the places visited in pretty
bad condition, but the owners as a
rule willingly complied with his re-
quest and cleaned up their premises
when ordered to do so. He also
stated that the season was especially
propitious to the weeds and after
every shower they seemed to grow
up almost in night The doctor is
warning every one to see that no old
cans or other receptacles are left
about their premises that would catch
and hold water as one old tomato can
was capable of becoming the breeding
place of enough mosquitoes to infest
a whole Block. According to the re-
port of the city physician the health
of the city is extremely good at
prese mt and he is making an effort to
make Ardmore so near sanitary per-
feet that it will remain so

UNDISCOVERED LANDS.
One Eighth of the Globe Still Await
ing Scientific Exploration.


Perhaps one of the most interesting
and least klown countries on the
face of the globe, and one which has
so far pretty successfully defied civ
ilization, lies secreted among the
Himalaya mountains.
Authorities say that it is presided
over entirely by women, who are
responsible for such rude laws as are
necessary even in a lawless district.
manage the affairs of state, and live
in a luxury of inverted Mormonism
by possessing four or five husbands
apiece. All the rough tasks and
menlal labors are assigned to the hill
men. and "mereman" is of small ac-
count beside these Himalayan ANA
IONS.
On a rough estimate it is declared
that 100000 square miles, or one
eighth of the total land surface of the
world, are awaiting to be discovered.
Some 100000 of this lies in the Arc
tic regions of the North, but among
the frozen tracts that form "antarc-
tics" in the South where Scott and
his gallant followers were penetrat
ing nearly 100000 square miles are
relegated to the sole use of the whale
penguin and other animals and birds
of the frozen zone.
In Arabia it seems that there is a
tract of land uneXplored which Is
nearly five times as large as Great
Britain. Probably there is no more
desolate waste to be found on the
entire globe than that which is called
the dwelling of the void" Not
single river is estimated to flow
throughout its entire 100000 square
miles.
Although the famous El Dorado,
Peru, which set the sixteenth CEN
tury ablaze, has never been unearth-
ed, the country might fittingly ba
called FL Dorado, from the rich min
erals and priceless stones which EN-.
anate from there. Strange, wild
eyed men occasionally descend from
the mountains and bring wonderful
with them, but they refuse
to act as guides to those who would
accompany them back.
1t is curious to realize that vast
parts of the British Empire have
never been seen by British eyes or the
eyes of any white man. Nearly a.
quarter of Australia is still unex-
plored, mainly in the west, where the
population averages only one person
in every twenty square miles.

Big HIPPOPOTAMUS
IS WORTH $500
Gollmar's Circus Has "Big Lotus''
the Largest Hippopotamus Now
Held in Captivity

The Gollmar Brothers paid $500 for
q giant hippopotamus. 1t is a magnit
cent specimen of the river horse of the
River Nile, and a most interesting
source of study for the student of
nature. Few people can tell wheather a
hippopotamus is web footed or wheather
it has teeth. The average person does
not know that it is an animal allied to
the elephant; that it has a thick and
heavy body, short legs, terminated by
four toes;.a short tail, skin without hair
except at.the extremity Of its tail: and
that it feeds on heritage exclusively. I
"Big LOTUS" the "hip'' with Gollmar
Brothers Shows, knows his value, and
he also knows that the public is not as
we'll acquainted with him as it pretends
to be-. When he first joined the circus
he seemed annoyed because the cheap
sickly, ~treacherous little monkey attract
ed more attention than he did; but he
is over that now. All though he is no,
paid the homage and attention that is
his due, this giant beast does not show
his dissappoint, but lies contentedly il

CIRCUS ELEPHANTS
DO TANGO DANCE
Gollmar Brothers Herd of Trained
Dancing Elephants Are Right
Up-to-Date

To be up to date is the sole ambition
of all persons connected with a circus.
A good illustration of this Is the cast of
Mr.. Emory Styles, superintendent of
Gollmar Bros. big menagerie, and trainer
of their herd of performing elephants.
A few years ago Mr.. Styles had his
hugh actors dancing the "Merry Widow
waltz. That craze did not last long,
Then he taught them to turkey Trot.'
The Turkey Trot has become passe.
The latest tripischorean diversion and
the newest dance Is the "Tango." AS
soon as it was introduced Mr.. Styles al
once went to see all the best Tango
dancers in the country; and after salts.
flying himself that he knew the dance
thoroughly, returned to the winter
quarters of the show and began teach,
ing the elephants the Tango. Wher
the first performance was given this
spring lat the large auditorium building
in Milwaukee, Mr.. Styles introduced
the Tango dancing elephants.
To see the monster creatures locked
in fond embrace, their ungainly bodies
swaying IN perfect time to the seductive
~syncopated strains of the band is posi-
lively convulsing.

Base Ball Notes

" ' ~. r'F''f - -" ~" "
Munich and Clydear en reported as
each having won a game in the double
header played Sunday at Clyde.
The Sarles ball team, with a Munich
pitcher, ~Stautenberg, won from Crystal
City, Manitoba last week by a score
of 2 to O.
Langdon ball team goes to Wales to-
morrow to play,off the evening game OF
Sundays double-header that was called
owing to rain in the third inning.
Sunday baseball games at Clyde are
proving to be quite popular with our
Cannuck cousins from Pilot Mound
and Crystal City across the line in
Manitoba.
Gallo in it's games to date played
with teams of neighboring towns
in Ramsey and Towner counties
appears to have won the bigger per.
centage of games. Its strongest oppos'
ing nine appears to be located at
Egeland.
Next Tuesday the Langdon ball team
goes to Manitou, Man. and will take its
part in the Dominion day celebration by
playing a ball game with the Shamrocks
of Winnipeg. Last year on July LIST the
Shamrocks went down like nine pins
before the Langdon bunch.
The double header of ball games
played over at Munich Sunday, in
which the visiting team was from
Clyde, resulted IN Munich winning the
afternoon game by a score OF 9 to 6,
Clyde was given the evening game by
a decision of the umpire when 1t was
forfeited by Munich retiring from the
field when the score stood 9 to 0 in favor
of the visitors. 1t has not been learned
what caused the disagreement.
Langdon's league ball team has not
so for since the opening Of the season
earned the title OF being a bunch Of
kickers, and has played the game like
gentlemen, and on some occasions under
adversed circumstances. Their visit
to Wales last Sunday was certainly one
of these occasions, when through the
c%onnivance of the umpire and the score
keeper Wales received the proud dis
tinction Of having won the game, which
according to their standing in the per
centage column is badly needed ane
Langdon can afford to be generous
The evening game stood 4 to l in. Lang
don's favor when it had to be- called il
the third inning owing to rain. Thit
latter game is set to be played off to
morrow afternoon.

Where Not One but Two or Three

The Kitchens of olden times seem to
have been of extraordinary size, judg-

three huge ireplaces and a bakehouse
with an oven fourteen feet in diane
