Mrs. Henry Reed, Of Baylor,

ing Burned to Death.

Baylor, Mont, Oct. 1.-THE store OF
Henry Reed, located 10 miles south
east of this place, was burned to the
ground during the night and Mrs.
Reed was dragged, unconscious, from
the burning building, with her cloth
ing on fire.
The fire caught from a stove. Mr..
and Mrs. Reed had retired to their
rooms above the store and were aWak-
ened by the dog barking, but it was
too late, for the entire north endof
the store was aDlaze.
Mrs. Reed seemed to have some
heart trouble, which affected her and
she fell to the floor when she saw
the condition of the building. Mr..
Reed had proceeded to the lower
floor and was engaged In removing
articles from the store IS hurriedly
as possible, and failed to notice that
Mrs. Reed waas in such a condition

place. He then rushed back, only to

FARMERS HOLDING GRAIN.

Grand Forks, Oct. 2.-AccOrding to
reports which have been received
here by officials of the several rail
road headquarters located in. the city,
North Dakota farmers are in no
great haste to market their grain, be-
lieying that even higher prices will
sTessFfzrrSEaH aIc 7IUW UIIer eusr-
On the Dakota division of the Great
Northern, an average Of III cars of
grain have been shipped during the
week, and that is an exceptionally
low figure fer this period of the year.
BY reason of the delayed market
ing, it is probable that the freight
business will continue active over a
longer period than in other seasons.
The coal movement from the Head of
the Lakes will be under way soon,
and both big transportation problems
will have to be handled at the same
time.
Reports also indicate that many
farmers are holding their grain. At
this time they may give more atten-
ton to their fall plowing operations,
which have become quite general.
ALI in all, the crop of this season
looks like one of the most profitable
that has been raised in several years.

Brush this through faded, lifeless
locks and they become dark,

Hair that loses its color and lustre, or
when it fades, turns gray, dull and life

sands of women and men who value that

hair which is 50 attractive, use only this
old.time recipe.
Nowadays We get this famous mixture

WOULD EXTEND ROAD.

Beach, N. D., Oct. 2.-Some OF the
contractors on the Northern Pacific
extension work here report that IT
has been suggested to them to leave
their machinery hera until spring as
there may be a further extension or
the Northern Pacific line now heins
comple1ed to Ollie, south Of here, to
connect With the present Mott line.
Some years ago it was proposed to
extend the Fargo-Edgeley Northern
Pacific branch to the Cannonball r1v-
err to conneeu with the Mott line, anu
then extend from Nett to some point
in Montana on the main line. 1t IS
now asserted that the extension Will
be made from Beach instead of from
some Montana point. AS a result OF
the rumors the people OF Beach are
elated as the south extension may
be of much greater Importance than
originally announced.

Farmer Browns Boys Mis-
take.

Farmer Browns Boy had left his
pail, filled to running over witt
luscious blueberries. under a big bush
while he went over to a certain clear,
bubbling spring of which he knew
to eat his lunch. But before he had
time to eat his lunch he heard &
noise over near his pail, and right
away he suspected that one of the
young cattle living in the Old Pasture
had wandered that way. Now, he
knew that young cattle care rothing
for berries. SO he was not afraid that
they would be eaten. Bur he was
afraid that the pail might by accident
be tipped over.
80 Farmer Browns Boy didn't stop
even long enough for a bite of one
OF the thick ndNiches he had put
or fiat stone while he drank, but
started back for his pail of berries.
Now, the bushes grew high and very
thick and he couldn't see far in any
direction. He could tell by the sound
that it was a big animal that was
over by his pail, and as the only big
animals he ever had seen in the Old
Pasture were the young cattle and the
cows he thought 1t was one of these.
He was sure of it. OF course. why
shouldn't he be?
If one of those stupid cattle upset
that pail I1l-I'll-But what he
would have threatened to do nobody
VIII ever know. No, sir, nobody will
ever know what Farmer Browns Boy
had 1t in his mind to do to the one
