the city the largest crowd Minot has
ever seen.
The convention proper will last two
days, June 30 and July 1. There will
be a solid week of celebration, how
ever. A carnival company will be here
during the week, and there will be
entertainments galore. There are
more than thousand Elks in North

be here, besides hundreds from other
states. a."
A special Fourth Of July celebration
is being arranged in connection with
the general program. Everybody is

MADE POSTMASTER
PROMINENT MINOT DEMOCRAT
4 is APPOINTED POSTMASTER
! AND WILL TAKE CHARGE
SOON. ..-... I'D.

A telegram was received today from
E. H. Stenvick, who arrived from
Washington, D. c., Wednesday, con-
veying the news that he had been ap-
pointed Minot's postmaster and his
appointment was confirmed eight
hours after his arrival in the Capitol
City. Mr.. Stenvick will take charge
of the postoffice, one of the very best
in the state, after the usual prelimi-
naries are completed.
Mr.. Stenvick is one of the most
prominent Democrats in the state. He
is close friend of United States
Treasurer John Burke and other prom
inent Democrats and apparently has
the "pull." He will make good post
master. He is a hustler and very apt.
AS long as a change was to be made
in the Office, Stenvick was the logical
candidate.
Mrs. J. S. Murphy has held the po-
sition for several years and his given
the work her closest attention.

HART SWALSTEAD
TAKE UNTO HIMSELF
LIFE PARTNER
MISS GLADYS MAY MCKINLEY,
DAUGHTER OF MR.. AND MRS.
H. E. WHEELER, BECOMES THE
BRIDE OF PROMINENT JEWEL
Err.

Miss Gladys May Mckinley, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. H. E. Wheeler,
and Hart Swalstead, one of Minot's
most prominent jewellers, were united
in marriage Tuesday evening at the
beautiful Wheeler home in this city.
Only few of the most intimate
friends Of the couple, besides the rel
atives, witnessed the impressive cere-
mony, which was performed by Rev.
p. w. Erickson, beneath an archway
of ovely flowers. At nine o'clock, Miss
Marion Stoudt sang "The Wedding
Hour" followed by Lohengrin's We'd
ding March, played by Miss Pearle
Smallwood Preceding the bridal par
ty came the mother Of the bride with
Miss Bessie Mckinley, the brides
aunt, and Mrs. VIM. Murray. Then
entered the groom and attendant, Neil
Wheeler, the brides brother.
Preceded by the three bridesmaids,
Miss Jennie Swalstead, sister of the
groom, Miss Grace Hart, her cousin,
and Miss Eva Norton, close friend,
the bride leaning on the arm of her
father descended the staircase and ap-
preached the altar. Never more sweet
and charming did she appear than on
this occasion in her wedding gown, a
handsome creation of brocaded satin,
empire style, made entraine, low cut
bodice Of chinchilla Swiss lace with
garniture trimmings of pearls. Crown
ing her head was the bridal wreath of
lilies of the valley from which fell the
lshimmering bridal veil. In her arms
she carried shower bouquet of lilies
of the valley and roses, and her only
ornament was cavalier of diamonds
and pearls, a gift Of the groom.
Following the, ceremony, the we'd
ding supper was served, the dining
room being most attractively decorat-
ed.
That night the happy couple left for
the east where they will spend their
honeymoon with friends, and upon
their return will be at home in cozy
apartments at the Virginia Flats.
The bride has resided in Minot prac-
tically all of her life. She is consid-
cred one of Minot's most beautiful
young women and her manner is just
as charming as her appearance.
The groom has lived in Minot for
several years and is very successful
young businessman. No one has more
friends and he's deserving of them
too. The happy couple have the very
best wishes of all.

NORTHERN PRODUCE
COMPANY TO
BUILD PLANT
WILL ESTABLISH MINOT AS A
COLD STORAGE AND CREAM
cry CENTER-MEANS MORE
THAN ANY FACTORY,

The Northern Produce Co., former
ly the Henningsen Creamery Co., has
secured the services of an expert field
cream man from Minneapolis, who will
arrive this week. The company ex-
poets to double its output of butter
within the next GO days.
w. H. Hendrix, the new manager,
said to the Independent man:
ave have market for every pound
of butter we can make and every doz-
en- eggs we can buy and we expect soon
to show Minot a much larger plant
than we now have. We will put an
egg buyer in the field in a few days.
The company desires that I should ar
range to build a cold storage plant
and the chances are this city will see
a large up-to-date plant of this kind
built during the present year. If we
can build plant similar to the one at
Aberdeen, it will mean more to Minot
than any factory. We will be able to
handle ten times what we now handle
and this will bring more money into
the city. This would establish Minot
as cold storage and creamery center.
With that installed here, not a pound
of butter nor a dozen eggs from west
of here should go to St. Paul.
eve are doing nice business. Last
Saturday we received 100 cans of
cream from G. N. points alone.
81 like Minot and know that we will
do a nice business here"
Mr.. Hendrix is real live wire and
his coming here means much for our
city.

PROMINENT MAN
FOUND DEAD ON TRAIN
JAMES FERGUS, AGED As, FOUND
DEAD IN TOILET ROOM OF e. N.
TRAIN NO. 2 JUST AS MINOT
WAS REACHED SUNDAY.

James Fergus, aged As, unmarried.
was found dead in the toilet room sf
Great Northern train No. 2, just BE-
fore the train arrived at Minot sun
day afternoon about o'clock. The
remains were taken to Van Fleets
undertaking parlers to await word
from relatives.
Mr.. Fergus, who was prominent
! Scotchman, has been touring Canada
and the United States inspecting rail-
roads and rapid transit companies II
the interests of his firm at Glasgow,
Scotland. He had also heavy invest
ments in British Columbia. He was
enroute to Toronto, when he was
stricken.
Coroner Doe was called and he
deemed an inquest unnecessary, Rel
atives in Scotland were notified and
Mr.. Doe received word to bury the
remains in Minot.
The funeral was held from the I'M
dertaking parlors this morning at 10
o'clock, Rev. P. w. Erickson, pastor Of
the Presbyterian church officiating.
The funeral was in charge of the
Burns club of this city and Coroner
Doe. Altho Mr.. Fergus was far from
home and friends when his spirit took
its flight, true Scotshmen gave him
very respectable burial. Beautiful
flowers covered the casket and appro-
pirate selections were sung. The poor
old mother of the deceased, who 10
past 80 years of age, sits in her home
at Kingsley Castle, Scotland, today,
mourning for the son she will never
see again, but it will be some relief
to her to know that tears were shed
for him in Minot today as the casket
was lowered into the grave at Rose
Hill cemetery.
James Fergus was very prominent
in business and social circles in his
home country. His people are .-.mong
the most highly respected in the whole
of Scotland. His sister is Lady Nc
Lellan. For fourteen years he man
aged the Laird line of steamers out Of
Glasgow.
Benz. Franklin, of a prominent firm
of chartered accountants, came out
from Minneapolis to attend the funer-
al. The coroner received altogether
% kilograms and cablegrams from
relatives and friends, among the num-

Consul at Glasgow. .s-

AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.

Velva Journal: X. o. Quammen fell
from ladder at his feed mill Tues
day and sustained fracture Of enc
of his legs just below the knee, and
as a result he will be laid up for a
month or six weeks. This is indeed
unfortunate for Mr.. Quammen. It
seems that he has had more than his
share Of misfortune of late. In =
years time two children have passed
away, his wife was ill for several
weeks and underwent an operation,
and his daughter is now recovering
from the effects of an operation for
the removal of an abscess of the brain.
Mr.. Quammen and his family have the
sincere sympathy of the entire COM
munity in their misfortune and all
hope for a speedy recovery.

A GIGANTIC UNDERTAKING.
The Most Important Event of the
Year in MinOt.

The people of Minot and surround
ing country are certainly going to be
greatly benefited by the bona fide re-
duction sale which will begin Wednes-
day morning, May goth, at 9 o'clock at
the Grow Clothing Company's store,
under the management Of the T. K.
Kelley Sales System, Americas great
est merchandise bargain givers, New
York, Chicago and Minneapolis. Be-
ing so heavily overstocked, the back
ward season, they have engaged the
T. X. Kelley Sales System to turn the
stock into the homes Of the people in
the shortest possible time, regardless
of cost, loss or profit.
This sale will give the people Of
Minot and surrounding country
the greatest bargains ever placed be-
fore the public in the history of North
Dakota merchandising. It will surely
prove to be great boon to the people
who are never slow in taking advan-
tage Of an opportunity such as this
mighty reducing sale will afford.
From the large number Of people in
quiring about the sale, and waiting for
the opening day, it bespeaks Of the
Grow Clothing Co. doing record
breaking business.
A large force Of extra sales people
are in attendance so as to be able to
serve all quickly. And, as it is evil
dent, there will be rare bargains
offered, we expect to see the Grow
Clothing Co.'s store Mecca for hum
dreds Of bargain seekers during the
next seven days.

BURLINGTON Lad
INJURED BY AUTO
JOHN Mask, AGED Is, RUN OVER
~ JOHN Y. MILLAR'S MA
CHINE AND COMPOUND FRAC-
TURE OF LEG SUSTAINED -
TAKEN TO HOSPITAL.
Special to The Independent:

Burlington, N. D., May 13.-Tues-
10y evening, just at dusk, John Mask,
the sixteen year-old son, of Mr.. and
l1ss. Mike Mask, started on his bicycle
1Fcn the store going towards home
and as he passed the corner he collid-
I'd with an auto driven by John Y.
Mnlar, the manager of the Burlington
garage. Although Mr.. Millar stop
sped his car within a length of itself,
st was too late, the machine passed
ever young Masks chest and his leg
was caught by the hind wheel and
was broken just above the knee.
4, Several men who were sitting on
the store steps rushed out, got him
frsm under the car and carried him
into the drug store.
i. Dr.. Christie was summoned but in
his weakened condition he did not feel
able to take the entire responsibility
Of the case. DR.. Pence of Minot was
called and the two surgeons made the
hey as comfortable as possible and to-
10y he was taken to the hospital
where more facilities may be had for
treating his case. ~
4. The broken ends of the bone pro-
.fruded and the fracture is what is
known as compound.
His youth and good general health
laake a speedy recovery matter Of
hut short time.
!, No blame attaches to Mr.. Millar.
He was not driving the car fast. The
Maski boy evidently became confused
and eye witnesses state that had the
boy passed on directly the accident
would not have occurred. But it's a
bad case and another instance of the
necessity for eternal vigilance.
