INSTALL new MACHINES
Two Simplex Moving Picture Ma
chimes Installed at New Tweeden
Theatre on N. P. Avenue.

With the installation of two Sim
pick moving picture machines, the
new Tweeden theatre on N. P. avenue
below Fifth street is now ready tc
open.
These machines, considered the fin
est moving picture devices of their
kind on the market. place the new
Tweeden theatre second to non
among Fargo's attractive moving pic
ture houses.
The Simplex machines, secured by
Mr.. Tweeden through the Webster
Theatrical exchange, the state agents
for North Dakota, are equipped with
fire proof shutters, motors and speed
regulators and 2,000-foot magazines.
The fire Iroof shutters provide
against the danger of ignition of the
firms, which are made of celluloid and
which are SO often the cause of fire
in moving picture houses.
The machiens are ~1ickerless, so that
they will not be hard on the eyes, as
is SO often the case. With this equip
ment the Tweeden theatre should be-
come a popular pleasure retreat for
FargoanS.

TOMORROW IS
MARKET DAY
CITY MARKET PROMISES TO BE
EVEN GREATER SUCCESS TO.
M~oRRoW-FlNE WEATHER WILL
ENABLE MANY FARMERS TO
COME TO MARKET,

Market day Is rapidly coming to be
d DAY or event in the minds of many
Fargo people. Although but two such
Gays nave been held so far they have
oeen SO successful that the need and
utiilty OF the public market is now
fully recognized.
Last Saturday the market was
crowded with producers and with hun
dreds OF buyers who took ADVANTAGE of
the many bargains offered. Not only
were vegetables, gathered fresh that
ornln on sale, but chickens, butter,
eggs and berries were quickly disposed
Of.
AS there is absolutely no charge for
Sellng Things at the market the city
commission hopes that those who are
not professional gardeners will bring
even a small amount of produce to sell.
Last Saturday one lady brought a box
OF gooseberries, which she sold at a
very good price. If there had been no
market she would not have tried to
sell them at all.
children are rapidly taking advan-
tage of the market to earn extra
pocket money. One group Of boys on
Saturday sold SO worth of produce,
more than they could otherwise make
in a week..
AS soon as the people commence to
understand that the market is for
them to use in whatever way possible.
then it will be the success intended.
Even as Saturday was the most sue
cessful market day so far it is expect
ed that tomorrow will b. even more
successful.

PURCELL With DIAMOND
J. r. Purcell, Popular Fargo Salesman
and Legislative Nominee, Goes
With Diamond Match Co.

Joe T. Purcell, the popular Fargo
commercial traveller, VINO is widely
known from one end of the state to
the other and who was nominated on
the republican ticket for the state leg
islature at the recent primaries, has
resigned his position with the N. K.
Fairbanks Co., to accept a lucrative
post with the Diamond Match Co.
To q large degree the announcement
of Mr.. PurcelPs resignation comes as
a great ~suruprise to his many friends,
for he has been with the N. K. Fair
banks Co. SO long that he was regard
ed almost a part of the fixtures.
After twenty years of service, MI.
Purcell resigned last week to accept
a fattering offer from the Diamond
Match Co., which has been rendered
him several times in the last two
years, but which he persistently de-
clined, owing to his long association
with the other concern. .
However, such an alluring offer was
made by the other concern that he
was induced to accept last week. He
was in Chicago several days e
where all the negotiations were COM
pleted and when the popular legisla-
tive nominee returns to Fargo it will
be to take uI' his work in the inter
ests Of his new employers. Every
body in Fargo and throughout the
state wishes him ever success in his
new undertaking.

WEISERS ARE EXPECTED
President and Mrs. Weiser of Fargo
Are Expected Home From Norway
Toniqht-Landed July q.

President and Mrs. F.. J. Weiser OF
the First National bank Of Fargo are
expected home tonight from their TRIP
to Norway and other countries on the
European continent.
Mr.. n Mrs. Weiser landed in New
York on July 4. They proceeded to
their former home in Iowa, where they
spent a few days before coming to
Minneapolis, where they arrived this
morning. Mr.. Weiser was in telephone
communication with Vice President
Irish Of the First National bank early
today before boarding the train for
Fargo.
A rather singular coincidence of the
trip of h Weisers is that they landed
in Bergen, Norway on May II, the EN-
tenary of Norwegian independence, and
landed in the United States on July 4,
the anniversary of American independ-
ence.

Larimore, named for one Of North
Dakota sturdy pioneers who came from
the south, Newell G. Larimore, has
been rightly called the queen city of
the Elk valley.
No more metropolitan n progress
sive little city nay be fOund in North
Dakota, which tlOurishes with enter
prising cities, than LarimOre which is
in the market corner of the Elk val
lev. one of the most picturesque and
fertile valleys west of the great lakes,
even including the Red river valley
itself.
1t is a city that boasts Of one Of the
purest and most excellent water sup
plies of any city in the state, Of an up
to-date commercial club that is ever
working toward a better and bigger
city, Of a municipality that owns its
own lighting and water plants, OF
schools, that are equal to any in even
the largest cities. Of banking houses
that are substantial and commercial
enterprises that conspire to make it
prosperous. Nothing is lacking to make
Larimore a city of which the state Of
North Dakota may justly feel proud.
Newell G. Larimore.
A man Of affairs in Missouri before
he ever came here, the man from
whom the city takes it's name was one
of the best known Of North Dakota's
pioneers. He was a philanthropist and
a high type Of southern manhood.
Newell G. LarimOre was born in
Bourbon county, Kentucky. Aug. %,
1885. On his fathers side he vas
descended from a French Hugenot
family Of much note, which gave him
a poise and individuality that few men
in the state of North Dakota possessed
at the time of his advent here. His

Larimore's Advantages.
Larimore has many ADVANTAGES tt
offer the homeseeker and the vouns
business man.
One of its best assets is it's water
supply Of absolutely pure, soft water
taken from the filtered sand and shale
beds underlying the valley, absolutely
Tree from organic matter and alkalt
contamination.
If the city Of Minneapolis had access
to the pure, soft water sheds, under
lying the Elk valley, it would be worth
more to it's citizens than all Of its
boasted wealth.
Another Of Larimore's progressive
features is its volunteer fire DEPART
ment, organized in 1885. Another is
the Larimore Commercial club, of
winch O.. H. Phillips is president and
j. Dexter PIERCE is secretary. Both

Prominent Citizens.

portant part in the states history For
IN addition to its founder, Newell G..
Larlmore, a number of it's leading citi-
zens have occupied prominent places
IN the states government from time to
time.
In 1895 one of the towns leading
citizens, E. c. D. Shortridge, was elect
cd governor Of North Dakota. w. N.
