DR. ST|CKNEY SPOKE
SPECIAL MUSIC

A very interesting service was held
at the Congregational church Sunday
evening, combining the usual monthly
musical service and the observation
of Tuberculosis Sunday" The vol
untary was an organ and piano duet,
Mrs. Davis, organ, Misses Florence
Davis and Thbra Jessen piano. The
following numbers included a re-
sponse and two anthems by the choir
with anthem solos by Mrs. Tollefson
and Miss Ayers and Mr.. Hughes and
tenor obligato by Mr.. Jessen, organ
and piano duet by Mrs. and Miss
Davis; violin solo by Mrs. Messer-
smith with piano and organ accom-
paniment; song by Mrs. Tollefson with
The speaker of the evening was
DR.. V. H. Stickney, who, from his
long experience in curing the ills of
mankind and his intense interest in
the problem Of conserving human
life, was able to give most compre-
hensive and interesting address upon
Health" He noted the terrible an
nual toll Of human life-750,000 in
our own county-from preventable
disease. A little knowledge and a
little exercise of this knowledge will
prevent many Of the diseases now so
prevalent. tuberculosis is not hered-
itary and not incurable as was sup
posed up to forty years ago. Fresh
air, pure water and plain, substantial
food will work cure in almost any
case and these same agents are
means to prevent other diseases as
WELL
That his hearers might grasp the
terrible destruction of life by pre-
ventable disease, the speaker said
that, dreadful as is the present death
rate in the European war, it does not
equal this careless waste of life from
disease.
DR.. Stickney urged each one to do
something; to keep clean, to help
keep the city clean, to preach the
gospel of health and to assist in the
work of curing victims of tuberculos-
is by placing a Red Cross stamp on
every Christmas package.

SCHAFFNER-TE|GEN

One of the most beautiful marriage
services ever witnessed in this part
of the state occurred on Thanksgiv-
ing evening at Glen Laurel ranch,
when Constance Best, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Best Schaffner,
became the bride of Mr.. A. Fl. Teigen.
Rev. Lovelace of Hebron performed
the impressive ceremony in the pres
ence of immediate relatives and init
mate friends.
Precisely at 6 o'clock the bride en-
tered the beautifully decorated par
lors, Miss Sibyl Johnson playing 'The
Barcarolle" from "The Tales of Hoff-
man." The bride was attended by
Miss Harriet Genevive Hurley, as
bridesmaid and Mr.. J. G. Halbeism
acted as best man. AS the couple
met at the home altar beneath a
lovely arch of maidenhair ferns, smi-
lax and chrysanthemums, the music
changed to a softer strain and con-
tinued throughout the service. While
the vows were taken the contracting
parties knelt upon white satin
cushion on which their friends had
printed in fern leaves the word
"Blessing." The double ring service
added much to the beauty of the
ceremony.
Immediately after the ceremony a
sumptuous Thanksgiving dinner was
served in six courses, few of the
brides nearest Dakota friends assist
ing in the serving. While the parlors
were artistically decorated with au-
tumn leaves from Minnesota and Da-
kota, Mountain Ash berries and great
bouquets of large yellow and white
hrysanthemums, yellow tea roses.
Narcisis and snilax predominated in
the dining room, where the yellow
shaded candles shown with a yellow
glow. The Thanksgiving scheme was
carried out in the place cards and fav-

After dinner the guests were de-

rendered by the groom's aunt, Miss
Teigen, the first number of which was
"Oh Promise Me" and a varied piano
program by Miss Johnson. The bride
was urged to read, and graciousy re-
sponded with several numbers among
which, was James Whitconb Riley's

VERN REED
GETS z YRS,

Vern Reed gets IL years in the
penitentiary for his robbery work. in
Dickinson the evening Of November
9Th. f.,
The sentence was something OF; 9
surprise to this young man, aged "a
years, who apparently did not realize
the enormity of his crime. He had
pleaded guilty to first degree robbery
and told Judge w. C. Crawford that
he had nothing to say why sentence
should not be passed Immediately, as
lit was. The charge in the complaint
was for taking $1.40 from Mike
Keneen by force. Keneen had 9 re-
volver flashed in his face on the Capt.
Saunders and threw up his hands. "a
few minutes later, on Willard Street
at point just west of the entrance
to the S. L. Carroll livery stable, a
teamster was haulted. He made an
outcry and was knocked down, Reed
having a revolver and his pal, half
breed, a shot gun belonging to J.-iJ
Sweeney which had been stolen OFT
Of the Mcfarland auto in front of the
Elk building. The teamster ahad $36
in his pocket, but the robbers became
frightened and fled into the railroad
yard without securing it.
= AS our readers remember the rob-
berry was noised about and many
women and children became very
much alarmed. The bad men made
their escape. Reed was arrested in
Miles City last week for carrying a
concealed weapon and Sheriff George
Brown followed up clew and found
his man who was brought to the
Stark county Jail Monday afternoon.
Vern Reed fell into Mr.. Browns
net unwittingly and when he saw that
he was trapped he gave up every
thing.
Judge Crawford explained to Reed
that robbers are a menace to life.
They often times kill people when
they do not get what they want, and
it is this great danger rather than
the amount of booty which warrants
the court in imposing the severe pen
alties.
Vern Reed, although but "a years
of age, is apparently hardened Grim
inal. He was wanted at Fargo in
the fall for robbery and was with
the lawless element making trouble
at Minot during the summer. His
parents and sister reside at Luverne,
Mimi, where his father follows. the
trade of painter. According u
the Minnesota records, Vern Reed
went to the reform school when but
ID years of age, first at Red Wing
and later at the reformatory at st.
Cloud, getting his freedom in 1911.
Sheriff Brown is on the trail of the
half breed and may yet bring him to
justice.
The prisoner was taken to Bis
marck by Sheriff Brown on the early
Thursday morning train. The hand
cuffs We're put onto Reed, as the
sheriff did not want to take any
chances.

J. j. SWEENEY FIRE

Tuesday evening the barn just
south of Wilcox, belonging to j. j.
Sweeney, was destroyed by fire.
No one seems to know how the fire
started. Before anyone was aware Of
it the building was surrounded by
flames. The structure was too far
gone to be saved when the fire de-
partment arrived, but the fire was
kept from the Flynn and Kennedy
barns, which were badly scorched.
Mr.. Sweeney had the barn covered
by insurance. e'e3s
A daring deed was performed by
Harold Lillibridge when he led the
horse, belonging to Miss Daisy Wad-
dell, from the burning barn and then
returned for, the saddle. E

cal stockyards are now virtually
cleaned up, as all of the animals
that remain therein are % head of
thoroughbred Shorthorn cattle, which,
as far as could be ascertained when
The Review went to press, are not in
On last Sunday morning 763 cat
tie, which were infected with the
malady, were taken to the vicinity of
Hoyt, killed and buried in a long
trench which had been excavated by
means of a steam shovel. This
trench was 800 feet in length, about
IL feet wide and 10 feet deep. The
cattle were unloaded, one car at a
time, and were driven into the end of
the trench remote from the place left
as an entrance. They were then dis
patched, and another carload driven
in close against those killed, and so
on until the entire number was
slaughtered.
Following the killing of the ami
mails their carcasses were covered
with quicklime, Of which $50 barrels
were used, and were then buried un-
der about nine feet of earth and sand.
AS far as is known no other cases
of foot and mouth disease exist in
Dawson county, except at the ranch
of Thomas & Malone, north Of Terry,
where it is reported that some cat
tie and hogs are infected.
Regarding the bringing of the
train of infected stock to Glendive in
the early part of November, it may
be said that as soon as Inspector
Treacy learned of the existence of the
infection he took the case up at once
with the St. Paul offices of the North
ern Pacific and ordered the train
stopped and held. It was then in
Montana. kilograms were sent all
along the line by Inspector Treacy
with the result that DR.. DuF'rene
succeeded in catching the. train be-
tween Glendive and Miles City. It
was brought back to Glendive for the
reason that there is water in the
yards only at Billings and this city.
The cattle were Immediately placed
under rigid quarantine with the result
that all other animals in Dawson
county were safe-guarded, in fact the
entire situation was handled in such
excellent manner that it has called
forth the commentator of all who
have kept in touch with conditions.
These cattle belonged principally to
Senator Edwards of Forsyth, Milton
Schlesinger, D. B. Mcintyre and S. J.
Melady Of South St. Paul, where the
shipments originated. Ed. Gibbons
of South St. Paul, who sold the cat
tie to the three latter gentlemen, was
also here.
