MRS. JAS. MIREHOUSE DIES
Passed Away Saturday After Brief Attack of
Pneumonia Funeral Monday

The wife of James Mirehouse died
Saturday at the home east of town in
Loan township following a brief
illness Of few days. The immed-
late cause Of death was an acute at
tack of pneumonia, but her poor
health of late years left the chances
of the struggle of the patient for
recovery we'll nigh hopeless from the
first. Deceased had been in her usual
health up to few days of her death,
and the news of her passing away
when it reached friends in town came
almost as bolt out of clear sky.
The maiden name of Mrs. Mirehouse
was Emily J. Dillabaugh, her age
thirty seven years, and nineteen years
ago, in 1895, she became the wife of
James Mirehouse; ten children were
the issue of this marriage, eight of
whom are now living The family
numbers among the earliest pioneer
settlers of the eastern part of the
county and the high respect in which
both the deceased and her bereaved
husband were held was fully attested
to by the concourse of friends from
far and near who attended the funeral
held Monday afternoon, when the SER
vices were held at the M. E. church
at Harvey Center by Rev. Jas. Opie,
and the remains given final resting
place in the cemetery there.
Of Mrs. Mirehouse it can be said
that her whole life was devoted to her
husband and family and the church at
Harvey Center, of which she had been
devoted member since coming into
the community as a bride almost
twenty years ago. 1t is also a con-
ISOLATION to the sorrowing husband and
children left to mourn to know that
when she passed away last SATURDAY.
it was in the glorious hope of the
promis ed resurrection. The Mirehouse
family and the deceased's near re-
latives each and all have the heartfelt
sympathy of the people of Langdon
and vicinity in the hour of sorrow
which has been visited upon them.

MOWBRAY IN STORMS PATH
Town Narrowly Escapes Being Wiped Off Map
in Friday Evenings Storm

Last Friday night Mowbray got a
touch of the bad storm which had
quite a fierce look as viewed by Lang
don people between eight and nine
O'Clock. The force with which it hit
Mowbray is perhaps best shown by
the way it demolished the new ma
chinery shed, just completed and
which DR.. Donovan is this fall adding
to his other business enterprises at
Mowbray. The site of the building
was swept clean and the material
with which it had been constructed
scattered to the four winds of heaven.
The office and other buildings of the
Donovan lumber yard also appears to
have been pretty we'll in the path of
the elements. 1t looked for a while
to those who live there that the little
town of Mowbray was to be wiped off
the map.

DESTRUCTIVE WIND
VISITS MT. CARMEL
Large Barn on Metzger Farm Blown
Down Twenty-Six Head Stock
Saved-One Hore Killed

The heavy windstorm Friday even
ing last week totally demolished the
large frame barn Of Joseph Metzger,
three miles west of Mt. Carmel. The
barn was one of the largest in the
settlement, size about 32x6O feet and
carried insurance to the amount of
$1,000. Twenty-six head of horses
and live stock were inside when it
collapsed and it was almost an hour
later when the last of the horses had
been dragged from beneath the ruins
of the building. One horse was in
such shape it had to be killed, but the
others are expected to recover from
what threatened to be loss to Mr..
Metzger of both the building and it's
valuable contents Mr. Mezger and
family came to Mt. Carmel ten years
ago from Minnesota, purchasing the
old Frank Hamerl place. In less
than thirty minutes after the vista
tion of the storm between thirty and
forty of his neighbors were on the
scene to render what assistance they
could in the rescuing of horses and
live stock from their perilous position
beneath the ruins The outcome is
one which the Metzgers feel almost
able to congratulate themselves upon
their lucky escape and it is understood
| that the barn will be rebuilt with as
little delay as possible.
Other losses in the Mt Carmel set
tlement as result of the storm in
clude the frame barn of Mrs. John
Boesl, the north end of which was
blown in by the force of the storm
and the door Of the building disap-
pearing entirely. The barn on the
Andrew Schuler place was also badly
shook up ard shifted around, but car
be fixed up again at small cost.

NEW MT. CARMEL TEACHER

which will be considerably augmented
in numbers as the falls work is dis
posed of. The school now has as it's
principal Mr.. Henry Dahmus, first

country from Knobel, Ark, where he
has been successfully teaching for a
number of years until compelled to
seek change of climate for the bene-
fit Of the health of himself and fam
lily. Mr.. Dahmus will also fill the
position of organist at the Mt. Carmel
church and expects that his family
will come here from their home in
Arkansas some time next month.

5000 FOR TWENTY-FIVE HEAD
Milton Butcher Shows Beef Cattle Now Cos
Nearly Double Seven Years 400

Charles Erb, proprietor of the Mil
ton meat market, furnished the Globe
Of last week with q striking illustra-
tion Of the present day high cost of
living. During the past few days,
says Mr.. Erb, he purchased twenty
five head of cattle at cost of $500.
In contrast he tells of seven years
ago, in 1907, Of the purchase he made
of twenty eight lead which dressed
much more than the bunch he bought
last week, but only cost him S375.
The story has nothing to do with poll
tics, but gives clear demonstration
of the fact that the man who runs the
butcher shop is not making all the
big profit that he is supposed to out
of the customer. The cattle he buys
costs anywhere from 100 to $50 per
cent. more now than it did seven years
ago.

FAIR OPENS WITH
GOOD ATTENDANCE
Crowd of Visitors Entertained With
Big Program of Horse Races
Yesterday Afternoon.

Yesterday forenoon the annualCava-
>lier county fair was opened with
much better attendance than was
expected and generally looked for,
owing to rapid advance Of the harvest
during the past week. The exhibit
of horses is one that again this year
fills the barn to its capacity, despite
the fact that large addition has been
built this summer With the fine
blooded stock, sheep, hogs and poultry
the hundreds of visitors on the first
day enjoyed everything except the
weather, which was almost unbear-
able by the dust-driving wind that
swept from the west at a fifty mile
an hour gait throughout the day.
Today the crowd of visitors prom
ises to be even larger than at the
opening Of yesterday, which was des-
ignated by many of the visitors as
apparently being "Langdon's day
as the business houses and resident
sections of the city all seemed to
observe it as half-holiday.
Among the distinguished out of
town visitors from over the state to
grace the opening day by their pres
ence were Hon. Fred Bartholomew,
the democratic nominee for congress
from this district, who arrived in his
big auto about noon from the Forks
and is taking the opportunity of meet
ling a lot of friends political and
otherwise There is also a large car
here from Fargo in which Mrs. E. M.
Darrow, accompanied by her son and
party of friends from Fargo are
distributing literature in behalf of
the state suffrage campaign, an ad-
dress also being made down town last
evening by Mrs. Darrow in espousal
of woman's suffrage, which this early
in the campaign is showing itself to
be quite live issue over the state.
The race program of yesterday
was decidedly interesting feature
and the improvements that have been
made on the track result in it showing
itself to be at least two seconds faster
than formerly, both the horses and
sthe motorcycles showing the work
that has been done in lowering the
time in the different events of the
days card.

New Postal Regulation Says Farm
Products Up to Fifty Pounds
Distance $50 Miles

Heretofore farm and garden produce
could be shipped by parcels post in
packages weighing from 20 to 80
pounds up to distance of approx
mately $50 miles, but the shipment
had to be packed in special contain

made by Postmaster Burleson these
shipments may be made when packed
the ordinary way for shipment bv

handled outside of the mail bag. in
the future.
This new regulation will greatly
reduce the cost of living in most COM
munities and is most decided advan-
tage for the small truck farmer. as
small shipments may be made much
cheaper by parcels post than by ex
press, now that there is no need of
experimenting with special container
for eggs, etc.
A statement issued by the depart
ment says: Butter, eggs. fruit.
berries, vegetables, dressed poultry
and other articles in parcels weighing
over 20 pounds and up to SO pounds
