A dainty and decorative "stitch-in-

made in a great number of different
shapes and forms, and in our sketch
may be seen a particularly neat and
ornamental board for hanging upon

where the articles it contains may be

THE better times can come only
with an entire abandonment of the

railroad complication has put every
thing at odds. We can't compete with
our principal business rival at River

business. We shall have to find a new

1t was a serious hardship to Mr..
Ross. He had equipped a valuable
plant at Blandon for the manufacture
Of tile. The place was ideal. for the
mineral deposits surrounding gave him
the basic material directly at his door.
Ten miles away, at Riverton, was the
Swithin plant. Both had been OH the
line of railroad travel and their wares
were transported by wagon to the
nearest shipping point. With the rail.
road tapping Riverton now, and not
Blandon, the favoring rates for the
Swithin plant practically put the Ross
factory out of business.
There was only one thing for Ross
to do, and this was to remove to a rail.

meant heavy loss on his plant. Mean.
time, output would necessarily be re-
stricted. Most Of the employees we're
let out. The selected ones could count
only on half time work, hence the dis.
cussion now going on.
For a week after that Mr.. Ross no.
ticed Glib Ridgely more particularly
than he had previously. He observed
that he was busy all of the time, dill.
gent, accommodating, energetic. He
spoke to his employee pleasantly when
ever they met. In the absence of his
regular messenger, he several times
sent Glib up to the house on personal
errands. One day, when Glib returned
from such a mission, he carefully re-.
moved rose from his buttonhole
and placed it between the leaves of his
memorandum book. Miss Ina Ross
had given it to him.
One Albion Knapp came into the mi.
vate office of Mr.. Ross one day while
Glib was going over some account
books in the vault near by. Knapp
was slightly known to the manufac.
turer and to Ina. He seemed to have
had the direction of the surveying
party working for the right of way.
Blandly and blunty he asked the
permission of Mr.. Ross to pay his ad.
dresses to his daughter. In a cold
formal manner the manufacturer in.
formed him that he was not impressed
with the proposal. Pressed more
closely. he stated that he knew his

BEAUL1EU ON THE OLD COUNTY
ola {..-.5a.. FATR

The editor of the White Earth Tom.
;ahawk in referring to the coming
county fair at Little Falls, grows re-.
miniscent, and says:
; Prizes for farm products are num-
erously provided for, but nothing for
horse races.
Just think Of it., nothing for horse
races. This alone would be positive
proof that the old timers are not
around to take hand in the game, ror
the first provision they would have
looked after would have been for horse
races.
+, Old Crow Wingites never failed to
attend the fairs at Little Falls in the
good old days when Dan Moores, Peter
Roy, Nat Richardson, Leon Houd, Tom
Hays and others were the leading
spirits Of the. fairs there, and after q
high old time with these old timers old
Crow Wingnites usually returned
home with depleted pockets, but al
ways in good spirits.
If the old Crow Wingites who are
still left here were to attend the Little
Falls fair this year they would meet
only strange faces with but few ex-
ceptions. These exceptions are Pat
Hays, whom everybody knew, Frank
Dufort, Mr.. ,Peqpot, the Bouialais,
Dave LaChance. and. very few others.

CHICKEN SEASON IS NEARING
SEASON OPENS ON SEPTEMBER
2. DEPUTY GAME WARDENS
ARE AFTER SOONERS

Prairie chickens promise to be quite
numerous when the season opens on
September z and large number of
local sportsmen plan on taking few
days off at that time and bagging a
few. But in the meantime the soon
ers will attempt to get a few chick
ems, and the intentions of the game
wardens is to bring them to justice.
Expensive sport is promised anyone
who attempts to kill chickens out of
season this year and already several
have been fined in justice court.
Deputy Game Warden Chas. Young is
on the job every day, and number
of local lovers of good clean sport
have taken it upon themselves to bring
poachers to justice. ...
Game Warden Young brought in
Peter Meyers Of Pierz last Friday and
haled him before Justice Gerritz on a
charge of violating the game laws. He
pleaded guilty and was fined $40 and
costs.
On Monday two local men, both
giving their names as John Doe (Wm.
Ellenbeck and A. H. Vernon) were
brought before Justice Gerritz for
violating the game laws by having
hunting dogs in the field. They each
paid $40 and costs.

LIGHTNING CAUSES DAMAGE

LIGHTNlNG CAU8E8 DAMAGE
During the electrical storm Of Sun
day morning several buildings in this
city and vicinity were damaged by
lightning. The residence Of Geo. II.
Peterson on Broadway west was dam
aged, one Of the large chimneys on
the 1Antlers hotel was knocked to
pieces, and two barns in Pike Creek,
one belonging to Frank Lepinski and
occupied by Frank Yanta and the
other owned by Peter Wozniak were.
struck. a number Of tons Of hay was
burned, belonging to Wozniak. Mrs.
ii. Carlson Of the west side was rem
dered unconscious by the lightning,
while standing near the kitchen stove
in her home. She had a stove cover
handle in her hand and was about to
lift off the cover when the accident
happened. She escaped without seri-
Gus injuries.
The residence Of Geo. H. Peterson
suffered the biggest damage. The bolt
entered the house near the caves,
tearing out some shingles, and ran
downstairs, where it broke into the
dining room from the wall on the op-
posite side from which it entered, evil
IDENTITY having followed the electrical
wiring. In the dining room it struck
a buffet, knocking off shelf con-
tanning cut glass and chinaware, which
fell to the floor and broke. No one
was at home when the bolt struck the
house. /.
The lightning also played hayoc
with the electric wiring throughout
the city, burning out fuses and
lights.

HUNTING DOGS POISONED

Three valuable hunting dogs, Two
of which belonged to VIM. Gierok, and
one to JOS. Moeglein, were poisoned
Friday morning in this city, evident
" from meat doctored with strych-
nine. The dogs had been playing on
a vacant lot near the Royal Cafe.
Later it was noticed that they were
acting rather strangely, and an IN
vestigation followed, disclosing the
cause. Nothing could be done to save
the dogs and all three died at the
same time.
Mr.. Gierok's dogs were a pointer
and a rabbit hound and Mr.. Moeg-
lein g was Llewellyn setter pup.
This is the first report Of hunting
dogs having been poisoned in this
manner this year. For several years
past other sportsmen have lost valu.
able hunting dogs, and in each in
stance the dogs were poisoned short
ly before hunting season opened,
which was also the case this time.

ST. CLOUD GAME CALLED

The baseball game which was sched-
uled to be. played between the local
team and the Pretzels at st. Cloud,
last Sunday, was called off by the
management at about two o'clock on
account of rain. The game was sched-
uled to begin at O'Clock.
The locals had good lineup for the
game and were anxious to clash with
the Pretzels. It is thought that there
were other reasons for calling the
game than that Of rain, as on account
Of the weather a slim crowd would
have turned out and the Pretzels
would have been under a heavy ex-
pense. a. ~
It is possible that game will be
scheduled with the Granite City bunch
on. Sunday, August %, at st. Cloud.
