The Conness Players are triumph

duced "The Third Degree" at the

success was indeed pronounced. II

drama that has been seen in Whining

Charles Klein was so perfectly pre-
sented the members of the Avenues
company were so clever in their por-
trayal, that the four acts were a
series of successes. Individually and
collectively. they ingratiated them
selves more firmly than ever into the
hearts of playgoers, for the attendants
at the Avenue fully appreciate real
talent The theatre was crowded to
the doors. a sure sign OF the popu-
larity Of both the drama and the
players.
The play is based upon methods
practiced by the police in some cities

the wane, was a true Howard JEFF

STANDARD OIL
man MISSING

Hope Pioneer: The town was
shocked last week whenit was report
ed that Geo. Lockwood, who has been
the Standard Oil Co.'S agent here for
a number OF years, had skipped the
country and left a shortage of nearly
$4,000 in his accounts. There was no
suspicion that anything was wrong
until after he had disappeared and in
v~est1gation of the accounts revealed
the defalcation.
On Monday evening of last week,
the auditor called up on the phone
and Informed Lockwood that he would
be up in the morning to check him up
but when he had arrived the bird had
flown. The last seen Of him was on
the north bound train on the Surry
line Tuesday of last week.
The case is exceptionally sad as a
large family is left without any means
of support.

TON.

The travellers are back again to the
simple life. Once more they are go-
ing the even tenor OF their ways, even
though memories of pleasant days at
CTookston do revive the smiles and
cheerful thoughts now n then.
United Commercial Travellers circles
are exceedingly quiet and will be- for
several months. Not even Joe Purcell
is seen around urging all the boys to
ne sure and be on hand. And by the
bye, the travelling men haven't a
greater little booster in the whole jur-
.isdiction than e~nterprising Joe. Hes
always there N the job with a smile
and a word Of good cheer.

ternity.
That's all life is. anyway. Just n
planned thing after another. But the
travellers make the most of everything
and even though 1t is a little harder
than 1T actually seems. they have the
knack OF making 1t appear that life
flows along like a song.
The Fargo boys don't have to wait
aWfHlly long until they will have a
grand counselor OF their own, for in
just three years it will be Grand
Counselor Grasse, if you please-pro-
v1ded everything goes along In it's ex-
pected course. Well. nowhere will
Grasse get better support when
that time arrives, if it does, than right
here in his own home town. There's
only n thing the Fargo boys should
keep themselves fully posted about
Billy's real age.
Every year the grand sentinel and
Senator Porterfield have an annual
And birthday celebration. Mr.. Grasse
declares he isn't yet ~ and Port en-
phatically asserts he is not more than

HORSE RAN AWAY;
boy USED WHIP

Linton, N. d, June 21.--A runaway
on Broadway Tuesday caused tremen-
dous excitement, although no harm Of
any kind resulted. Little 3-year-old.
Berkeley Fergus, son Of Conductor and
Mrs. Thos. Fergus, managed to escape
his mother long enough to get down
town. A horse and buggy, belonging
to A. Bredburg, standing In front of
the Bazaar store, evidently caused Mas
ter Berkeley to see visions Of a .joy
ride and he climbed in. The horse
seemed to pay no attention, however,
to it's youthful driver, and SO the
youngster brought the buggy-whip
into action. The horse dashed down
Broadway, the boy whipping him at
every step. Chris and EIex Bosch saw
the rig coming and headed it of, Chris
throwing himself at the horses head
and Alex making a dash for the boy.
After some real wild west plunging
and kicking the horse was subdued
and no harm done. Master Berkeley
enjoyed it all and when returned to
his mother informed her that he

SMALL CYCLONE
WORKED HAVOC

Woodwork, N. d., June 81. A
small cyclone struck the vicinity about
seven miles northwest of town and did
a great deal of damage to several of
the farmers in that vicinity.
At d. w. Gerber's place, it tore his
fine new barn into kindling wood and
also took part of the house with it.
There were fourteen horses in the
barn at the time and, with the ex-
ception of some being badly bruised
up, they all escaped uninjured. Mr..
Gerber also lost all of his feed and.
hay.
At Will Sundays place it picked
UP a wagon and hay rack and carried
it for some distance. Mr.. Sunday had
just came out of the barn from milk
ing, when MI. Wagon came sailing by
and he had a narrow escape from be-
ing struck with it.
At Howard Sundays place, it tore
"a cook car all to pieces besides doing
some damage to the out buildings.
j.. l.. Bullock reports that 1t blew
his wagon and rack into his pig pen,
quite badly injuring of his brood
soWs.
At o. w. Rowe's place formerly the
Anton Alderman farm) it wrecked all
of the buildings and blew the wind
mill down.
Jay Shristy reports that it blew all
Of the water out of Mallard marsh up
to their place and blew their barn
Iopsided.
AT the Niles place it completely
wrecked every building but the
granary. All the buildings on this
place were new having been plt up
early this spring.
The last building at the old town of
Seaborn was blown off Of its founda-
ton and carried some distance and
set in a hollow.
The storm did some other minor
damage and it was lucky that nobody
was killed. The storm was about
seventy rods in width and seemed to
break up into several smaller ones at
ter it started. The loss will amount
to over $4,000 with a very small part
of 1t covered by insurance.
