LITTLE LOUISE CONNER
DIED LAST NIGHT


The many friends Of the family
were deeply shocked to learn Of the
death of little Louise Conner, the
sweet little daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
] w. Conner, which occurred last
night about midnight.
The little girl had been i'll of diph-
iberia for the past ten days, and
while seriously i'll, she was thought
to have been improving but change
for the worse occurred last night ana
all that medical skill could Suggest
was to no avail.
This is one of the saddest deaths
to occur In Lakeland in a long time.
The little girl was the idol of the
household and was beloved by a
large circle of friends, who. during
her illness and death would have
been SO glad to have ministered to
her, but who were prevented from
going near the house on account Of
the place being quarantined.
A sweet little flower has been add
&c to the band above, and we cannot
but feel that Heaven must be bright
er today since the advent of this
sv eet little spirit.
The body was buried today at noon
in the city cemetery. In their great
sorrow, the bereaved family have the
deepest sympathy of their host Of
friends.

REPORT OF LOCAL HEALTH
OFFICER ON LAKELAND DIARIES

To the City Council:
have the following report to sub
init on condition Of loccl dairics
Having seen, along with the inspec-
tor, the Lakeland dairy and that OF
Mr.. Brannen, we found that the
Lakeland dairy was entitled to a
score of 33 on equipment, and 33 on
methods of handling milk, making
a total scor eof 66.
The Brannen dairy was entitled to
g score OF 281a en- equipment and 2S
on methods, making total score Of
56k.
In justice to the dairymen will
state that this score is based upon
the score card of U. S. department of
agriculture, and that they have set a
high standard.
Analysis made Of sample Of milk
from the Lakeland Dairy showed a
specific gravity of 1000, total solids
1884, butter fat AZ per cent, bac-
terra per C. c., 100000.
The sample from Brannen dairy
showed a specific gravity Of 1890.
tctal solids 14.46, butter fat 5.S per
cent, bacteria per c. C. 100000.
This analysis means that no wa
ter, preservatives or coloring mat
ter has been added to the milk, that
it contains proper amount Of butter
fat. While the seemingly high bac-
terra count indicates that the milk is
not as clean as it should be, nor up
to the standard that will be required
o: the dairies; 1t does not mean that
the milk Is unsafe. The first analysis
made Of milk from uninspected dali
ries has been known to show a bac-
teria count as high as 100000
rer c. c.
The two above mentioned dairy
men have had tuberculin test given
their herds, showing them to be free
from tubercular cows.
Respectfully submitted,
R. r. SULLIVAN,
Chairman of Board of Health.

ATHLETIC GROUNDS
Opened TONIGHT

Tonight is to be the opening of the
new grounds of the Baptist Athletic
| association. A general invitation is
extended to the public to attend. Ice
cream and cake will be served on the
grounds and an opportunity given to
inspect this new undertaking of the
Eaptists for the benefit of the young
people.
The grounds are located behind the
church and are so by 100 feet long
They have been surrounded by 4
fence, 10 feet high, built in a very
substantial way, with posts painted
white. The ground has been made
perfectly level and will afford ample
space for a tennis court, basketball,
brist, handball and many other games.
Other features are to de added later
and it is expected that in the winter
the ground will be flooded and used
as a skating rink. A very attractive
and important feature is the system
of lighting which has been installed,
whereby the ground can be made suf-
ficiently light for any game to be play
ed in the late evening hours, after
darkness has fallen.
The aim Of the Baptist Athletic or
ganization in providing these grounds
is to give hcalthful and pleasant recre-
alton to the young people. They are

ANNIVERSARY FOR
The FIRST TRAIN

A novel entertainment is to be held
by the ladies at the .-cthOdist church
next Saturday evening, June 7. 1t is
in celebration of the lortieth ami
versary of the coming ct fhe first
train into Bismarck. The work of
planning and arranging the event was
left to a committee Of three, Mrs. J.
p. Dunn, Mrs. Oscar Ward and Mrs.
Fl. Suttle, the former two being about
the only two in the city now who were
here On that ~eventful day.
There were four or five miles OF
track laid that day, and the first train
arrived between 5 and 6 O'Clock In
the evening. There was a big cele-
bration, everything was free and the
town was turned wrong side out.
The officials of the Northern Pacific
road have taken considerable interest
in the function which is to be held
here on Saturday night, and are fur,
nishing the programs at their own
expense, which in all probability will
be quite novel in style.
This is no for M%ethOdists only, but
the public of all denominations are
invited to attend. The program will
begin at $50 o'clock, refreshments
will be served, and there will be d
general good time. 1t is quite prob
able that there will be a large attend
ance.

YELLED LADIES'.
Three Men Who Won Literary Laurels
Under Feminine Names. 81

One of the most famous cases Of Il
man writer winning fame under a wo-
mans name was that Of tho late Will
liam Sharp, who kept his identity with
"Fiona Macleod Il close secret during
his life, and it was only after his
death that the public was made
aware that her remarkable novels
were the work Of the well known critic
and essayist. Their style seemed so
enthusiastically feminine that even
the most astute critics believed that
they were written by n woman's hand.
Another famous writer. Laurence
Housman. known already as n poet
and artist, made a third and most sue
cessful appearance before the public as
a "veiled lady" A remarkable book
appeared entitled IAN Englishwoman's
Love Letters" which all the critics
praised and all the clubs and literary
circles talked about. Who was this
woman who had laid her heart, bare?
The. critics agreed that, whoever she
was, she understood her sex. to perfec-
ton. The secret was kept very close
for a time. and then, to ~everybody's
immense amazement, the real author
was revealed as a man after all.
Very few people probably will recall
the undoubted fact that II of the
greatest of Victorian poets, Algernon
| Charles Swinburne, hid his identity &C.
%casionally under the very matter Of
fact feminine non de plume Of Mrs.
Horace Manners" while another and

UNUSUAL INTEREST

usual interest. The church observed

honor to the name and memories OF
Mother. At the opening of the serv-
ice, after a stirring service Of song.
the governors proclamation was read.
Rev. Bruce E. Jackson, pastor Of the
church, delivered a sermon upon tho
theme, "A Tribute to Our Mothers"
He spoke of the mighty influence Of
the mothers of the country upon it's
welfaren. He showed how mother
hood was teaching many lessons to
us that are taught by the min a better
way than from any other source. Four
things were mentioned: The supreme
worth Of the unseltish life, the sweet
ness and saving power of forgiveness.
the mighty value OF tender love and
sympathy, and the holding power CT
tho Christ. The sermon closed with
an appeal to those present to continue
the work, the foundations of which
have been laid by Christian mother
hood. During the evening the ordin-
ance of baptism was administered in
Il beautiful and impressive manner
to four young ladies who arc uniting

war DECLARED ON
DEMONSTRATION

Beach Chronicles: Considerable
excitement was caused last week Fri.
Iday night, when George Mcclellan, a
stakeholder in the Beach Advance
and recently elected secretary and
treasurer of that corporation, went on
the warpath.
About 5 o'clock in the afternoon,
Mr.. Mcclellan, apparently under the
influence of liquor, came into the
chronicle office, during the editors
absence, and demanded a copy of the
paper, which was not printed at the
time. Not being able to secure a
paper he declared his intentions OF
remaining until the, editors return,
and %thereupon sat down in the edi-
tors chair and slightly damaged the
editorial typewriter by MISLEADING it
Tor a footstOol. A little later he was
taken out by the deputy sheriff, we
understand.
Not being satisfied, however, he re-
turned to the office at about $50,
when the Cr0nicle editor, who is also
postmaster, was sorting mail, and
again made his demand for a copy of
the Chronicle. Upon being informed
That the paper was not printed, he de-
handed to be informed what the pa
per would contain about his, and up
on being refused the information de-
clared war IN the postmaster and
challenged him to physical combat.
Il. +, Gallagher, Fl. L.. Halliday, +. e.
Heath and other Advance %stockhold-
ers were on the scene and when a u.
>. pOstOffice inspector came into the
building they probably realized Mr..
Mcclellan was in a very delicate po-
sition, having interfered with a gov
eminent official while performing his
duty, and he was spirited away to his
Eoftce by friends, whert he was cared
for.
Although the officials were on the
ground during the disturbance no at
tempt was made to place Mr.. McClel-
ian under arrest, which has been
promptly done heretofore when my
0ne has disturbed the peace. Mr..
Mcclellan, however, stands very close
Ito the officials and they, realizing his
condition, apparently took that into
consideration and allowed him to be
taken care of by his friends, rather
than to humiliate hi mby placing him
in jail.
1t seems the trouble was caused by
someone playing a practical joke OF
George by telling him that the Chron
llcle was going to expose his past rec
ORD, prior to his coming to Beach
This evidently put him into a state I
great excitement, and this, with 81,
John Barleycorn, caused Mr.. McClel
, lan's unwise actions.
