WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS ON
THE BATTLE LINE In
EUROPE.

New York, Oct. Especial: All
the nations engaged in the mighty
struggle in Belgium and the north
of France are silent on the actual
happenings in that battle-scarred
zone. So far as is known there has
been little progress on either side,
but from accounts that have filtered
through various sources the stern
engagement which has been going on
necessarily for several days may be
characterized as the worst of the
war.
Thousands of German reinforce
! ments have been added to the great
masses of troops which have been en-
deavoring to force their way to the
northern ports Of France.
1t is said that this ceaseless push
ing forward of vast bodies of German
soldiers is by direct order of the en-
peror. whose eye is fixed on England,
a campaign against which at an early
date is considered among the poss'
b~ilities, providing a suitable base car
be found from which to direct the
forces.
Similarly the allies have been
strongly reinforced and among tn
new troops at the front are the Brit
ish Indians, who, according to all ac-
counts, have been bearing themselves
we'll.
A new rebellion in the Union of
South Africa has given cause for anx-
iety, both to the British and the
South Africa government. Gems. De-
! Wet and Beyers, both notable figures
in the South African war, have placed
themselves at the head of the revolt
in the Orange Free State and West
ern Transvaal.
The British admiralty issued a
warning to ships whose course may
carry them to the waters to the north
| of Ireland, as in these waters Ger
man mines have been laid, with the
result that one British steamer. the
Manchester Commerce, has beer
blown up. Additional channels in
the River Thames have been declared
closed to navigation by the admiralty
in an effort to Illustrate a hostile at
tempt to reach London.
A Portuguese mission is in Londor
arranging details for the possible co
operation of the Portuguese arm.

king of Portugal, has offered his serv

way of Madrid reports that German
troops have invaded the Portuguese
province of Angola, West Africa, an

Suicide Buried at Lansford.

Martin Bayfield,, the Barber farm
er, who shot out his brains while trav-
cling on 500 train between Eckman
and Bantry, was buried at Lansford
Tuesday.
One of the exchanges states that
Bayfield, was we'll fixed. This appears
to be erroneous. He was bachelor
and had farmed at Barber for the past
Is years. Prior to that time, he was a
railroad man but lost his job because
Of defective hearing. His farm was
heavily encountered and he went to
Thief River Falls, securing a job with
a bridge contractor. This he lost be-
cause Of his poor hearing and was le-
turning home. He grew more despond-
eEt the nearer he arrived home and de-
cidcd to end his existence.

Homemade Beads.

Here is a formula for making the
beads that are SO much in evidence
just now. They can be easily colored
with paint. powder or any Of the dyes
and stains on the market:
Mix half cupful Of water with, half
a cupful Of cornstarch and stir smooth: :
measure cupful Of fine white table
salt and heat it very hot. but do not
scorch; when hot pour it over the va.
ter and starch; 1t will make Z soft
paste that can be nodded as liked.
String, first passing needle through
each bead for the hole, and use clean
broom straws as strings until the beads
are thoroughly dry. Then color to suit
taste and string on strong silk thread.
II a little verbena or violet extract q
added to the paste or to the salt the
beads will be delicately perfumsd.

Many will remember when Goldstein
was here two or three years ago. At
that time he debated with Arthur Le-

is regarded as one Of the very best in

United States and has often met noted
Socialist speakers in debate.
He is brought here under the aus
pices of the local Council Of the
Knights of Columbus and will be here
for the one day only. The opera
house will hardly hold the crowd that
will want to hear him. No admission

The Minot Tribune tells how Clyde
Joslyn of the Mouse River Horse and
Cattle Co.. met with an accident by
which he had his arm broken. His
horse bolted while he was leading it,
and he hung on to the bride until he
was badly thrown. DR.. Lafferty at
tended the injured arm. He feared it
would always be- stiff, for it was
broken at the joint. It was stiff, but
Mr.. Joslyn was an active, energetic
man as long as he lived. DR.. Lafferty
practiced in Minot for some years,
and he married Miss Nettie Wheeler
there. Afterwards he moved to Cal
gary, where he has since done well.
Sometime in the last Of March lit
tie Wesley Cartwright froze his right
foot so badly that amputation of some
of the toes became necessary, and his
father, S. G. Cartwright, brought him
down from the home above Burlington
to Minot, where DR.. Belyea performed
the operation in the latter part of
April. Fac
Otto Ledger moved his barber shop
into the Brunette building, corner of
Main and Second streets, formerly oc-
cupied by Steve Whittock as res
taurant. The Minot Tribune says
that Otto will have one of the finest
shops in the northwest. And then,
says the Tribune, "That's right, Otto,
Let her 60, Gallagher" Is not that
rather unusual feature of barber
ing?
The same paper contains an inter-
esting account of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas-
ka who had just left for St. Paul.
Chaska was feet inches tall, and
straight as an arrow; good looking
when he talks but usually sullen. He
could speak excellent English when
he would, for he had spent two years
in the Lincoln Institute in Philadel-
phia. Smallpox had left it's traces on
his face. Mrs. Chaska was just 5 feet
j height, slender, not pretty till she
talked, and then she was bright and
interesting. She disliked her hus-
bands name, and so she called him
Sam u Eel.
