MINNEAPOLIS
BUSINESS Men
VISIT JAMESTOWN
PLEASANT SOCIAL VISIT WITH
REPRESENTATIVE OF THAT
CITY'S LEADING ENTER
PRISES.

Promptly at $40 a. IN. Saturday
the big special of Minneapolis Civic
and Commercial association reached
jamestown from it's swing around a
circle of four states. The visitors
spent the night in Bismarck where
they were handsomely entertained
by the Commercial club of that city,
and left at an early hour for James
Town, where they remained al hour
and twenty minutes.
Nearly every business man in the
city was at the station waiting to
greet the visitors, and, owing to the
shortness of the stop here, and the
early hour at which they arrived,
there was no attempt at formal re-
ception or entertainment, although
the Commercial club were anxious
to give the visitors as much of a
welcome as possible during the time
they had to remain. The visitors,
however, preferred to mingle among
the business men of Jamestown, ex-
tend and renew acquaintances, and
this was done.
The train was made up of Milwau-
kee railroad cars, and six days have
been taken on the trip. The First
Regiment military band serenaded
the Alert and Capital Office and the
Gladstone hotel. The train was an
all steel train, one-seventh of mile
long. 1t had all the conveniences,
including a long distance telephone,
which was connected with long dis
tance exchange at each nights stop.
There were thirty-flve porters, cooks
and walters aboard,
The train went west over the Mil
waukee line az far as Miles City,
and will reach Minneapolis Satur-
day night at 10 O'clock. The OBJ
ject of the tour was to increase the
acquaintance and promote friendship
of Minneapolis business men with
the communities which were visited.
During the stop here George M.
Gillette Of the Steele Machine Co.,
spoke few words from an impro-
vised platform at the station, to the
crowd from the city who had assem-
bled to meet the visitors. The speak
er declared that there was no reason
why the relations between Minnea-
polls business interests and the peo-
pie Of North Dakota should not be

of the citizens will now be appealed
to in order to give wide publicity to
the splendors of our fine institution.

A FATAL AUTO
ACCIDENT NEAR
VALLEY CITY
THREE MEN GO OVER BANK.
ONE MAN KILLED AND 9TH.
ERS BADLY BRUISED

Valley City, May 26.-While driv-
ing last night about three miles east
of Lanona, an automobile belonging
to Carl King, drove so close to a
the machine dropped about six feet
and pinned the occupants, Carl
King, Olaf Olstad and Peter Jorgen-
son, under it, killing the latter. o.
stad escaped alive, but it is feared
that besides a dislocated shoulder,
he may have sustained internal in
juries. The driver, Carl King, was
badly bruised, but escaped and went
for help.
The accident occurred about $50
in the evening or just after the lights
were lit, but was not discovered un-
til about midnight. When King re-
gained his senses after the fall he
attempted to open a door and get out
from under the overturned machine
but failing in this dug his way under
the machine with his hands and fin
ally crawled out. He called to his
companions but failing to gain any
response supposed they were dead
so left and went for help. 1t is sup
posed he must have still been dazed
as he passed four houses and finally
stopped at the home of William Ad-
cock, where help was secured. When
the party. returned about / a. M, it
was found that Olstad had regained
his senses, but Jorgenson was dead,
evidently having been almost instant
ly killed. His chest was crushed by
the back of the seat and he probably
died from strangulation.
DR.. Van Houton was called and
took charge of the injured men, who
are now resting easily at their homes
where they were taken after they
were released from the machine.
Just how the accident happened
seems to be little vague, but it is
said that the men were driving west
and failed to turn onto a road lead
ing north aHl did not discover their
mistake until they came to turn
that took them over the railroad.
AS soon as they were across the
track they evidently backed the ma
chine up to turn around and came so
close to the edge of the gravel pit
that the bank caved off, with the
unfortunate results above stated.
The gravel pit is on railroad ground
and very close to the road, and un-
doubtedly should have been protect
ed with fence, but had the party
not been turning around there is no
real reason why they should have
met with the accident. The parties
who have taken gravel from the place
had dug under the banks in such q
manner that from the side of the
road the real danger could not have
been seen even in the daytime, and
the same thing might have happen
ed in daylight If anyone had under
taken to turn around at that point,
or for any other reason might have
went near the place.

The FUNERAL OF
ROBERT |. WALTERS
HELD AT MELVILLE UNDER
MASONIC AUSPICES-LARG
ATTENDANCE.

Monday afternoon occurred the
funeral of the late Robert L. Wal
ters, one of the old time residents Of
Stutsman county, who died at Mel
vile, May 23rd. The funeral was
attended by one of the largest gath
erings ever seen in that part of the
county. The deceased had resided
for many years on his farm in Stuts-
man county, near the Foster county
line, and was we'll known. His ILL
ness had been long continued, and
while death was not entirely unex-
pected, yet there was strong hope
that he might survive.
The body was taken from the ho-
I, tel in which deceased had passed
away, and the burial was at the Mel
vile cemetery. The Masonic cere-
mony, at the church and at the
grave, was given according to the
last wishes of the deceased. No
other funeral service was held.
Over 25 members of the Masonic
lodge at jamestown were present,
the deceased being a member of
that lodge. Music was rendered by
Prof. Wimberley of jamestown and
a quartette. Flowers were sent by
many individuals, and wreaths and
emblems from the G. A. r. Post of
jamestown, and the Masonic order.
There were Masons present from
Darlington and other towns, and the
Masons ritual was given by H. w.
Kelley, worshipful master; H. J..
Proctor, senior warden; VIM. Hall
Yjunior warden. The choir consist
ed of Prof. Wimberley, the Misses
Atwood and Smiley and O. st. c..
Chenery Of jamestown. Mr.. Kelley
spoke feelingly of the deceased and
a long acquaintance with him ex-
tending over 80 years: The G.. a..
R. Post of jamestown was repre-
sented by G. w. Kurt, B. F. Bige-
low, c. Schmitt and J. E. Herbert:
The pail bearers were H. T. Graves,
H. P. Taylor, J. U. Hemmi, P. E..
Peterson and J.B. Burgster of James,
town, and Richard Hall of Butte,
Mont. .....
The deceased was born in Ken
lucky in 1S43, and therefore was 20
years of age. His early education
was acquired in the city of Utica,
Mo. He came to North Dakota in
1882 and has been engaged in farm
ing in Stutsman county ever since.
He had one of the best known farms
in northern Stutsman, consisting OF
three quarter sections of land, and
all necessary buildings.
; When the deceased left Missouri
he first took land in South Dakota,
where he lived for number of
years before removing to this coun-
ty with his family. His daughter,
Mrs. Frances Rhoades of Spokane,
and husband were present during the
last illness of the deceased. He was
conscious of approaching death and
even before leaving jamestown said
"good bye' to many old friends who
called on him at the hospital. The

His Second Visit

Or Farrow was we'll pleased with
his reception here last month, but
owing to the fact that some who de-
sired to see him were unable to cal
on the date he was here, he has decld-
ed to extend his free treatment otfer'
so FOR THIS VISIT He WILL
AGAIN TREAT THE FIRST % WHO
CALL ABSOLUTELY FREE, EA-
CEPT FOR MEDICINE. AFTER THIS
VISIT THE REGULAR FEE WILL
BE CHARGED.
DIR. Farrow, the famous Jackson
vile Specialist, is doing a grand work
and filling a long needed want in this
section of the country.
He is succeeding because he is up
to-date, and prepared to treat sue
cessfully all Chronic and Special Dis
eases of Men, Women and Children.
If you will call at his office at the
hotel he will demonstrate to you his
ability by telling you frankly your ex-
act condition, without asking you TO
explain your case at all, should you
wish him to do so. He considers that
an expert physician would be able to
find out himself the patients exact
condition, and claims that is the best
proof of a physicians ability to sue
cessfully treat chronic and special dis
eases.
Hardly a day passes without some
one telling of the great work that
DR.. Farrow is doing for them, after
they had failed to obtain relief from
other doctors. If you are sick or af-
flicted in any way this is certainly
an exceptional opportunity to obtain
treatment from the recognized expert
doctor of the south.
There Is seldom a day that he is
not consulted in regard to condition
that If he were to have seen it in its
early stages the sufferer would have
been relieved, cured and saved consid-
cradle expense. This, he considers
is due to the lack of knowledge on the
part of the one who previously treated
the case. If you are suffering or if
you have been disappointed in not
getting a permanent cure elsewhere
come to this office and have a talk
with him without delay. He will eX-
plain TO you HIS SYSTEM OF
TREATMENT, which he has original
ed and developed after a whole life Is
experience in the treatment of spe
cial diseases. He will give you FREE
OF CHARGE a thorough personal ex,
animation, together with an honest
and scientific opinion of your case. II
he finds your case is incurable he will
honestly tell you so.
