TO CONDEMN
MANDAN STACKS

Mandan. June 7.-''Half a dozen
buildings in the fire limits Of your
city and within tho business district
are a disgrace and a menace to the
public safety" said Assistant State
Fire Marshal H. l.. Reade this morn.
ing. He was enroute to towns on the
north line but had to come back be-
cause Of the wreck. .
Next week will be over here and
will inspect some Of the 'shacks' and
the fire marshal's office will see that
they are condemned and torn down."
MI. Reade went through various
places in company with President H.
l.. Henke Of the city commission and
remarked that he did not know such
places existed in the state, at least
in a city the size of Mandan.
Under a recent decision Of the at.
torney generals office, the state fire
marshal has the right to condemn
buildings which are unsafe.

TOYS FOR THE YOUNGSTERS

GLADDEN. Children.

A German invasion of the United
States has been effected through the
port of New York-a pleasant sort OF
invasion to come from war-ridden Eu-
rope. Thousands of jumping-jacks,
popguns and yellow-haired dolls;
armies of lead soldiers in very bril-
liant paint uniforms and Noah's arks
and music boxes-in all, $500 cases
of toys-were brought in by the Hol-
fundamental steamer Veenbergen
from Rotterdam.
Special grace extended by the Brit
ish blockade permitted the arrival OF
the cargo of toys to supply the Ameri-
can Christmas market.
Sir Cecil Spring-Rice. the British
ambassador, has informed the state
department at Washington of the
progress of negotiations looking to-
ward the release of similar cargoes of
German-made Christmas goods which
have been held up for many months
in Dutch ports.

SOUGHT ROOM in TOWN JAIL
Weary Traveller Mistook Prison for
the Leading Hotel to Which He ,
Was Directed.

Marvin Charles of Buffalo is a
stranger in Georgetown. and when he
got of the train at Georgetown about
eight o'clock at night he hardly knew
which way to turn from the depot. He
was tired, hungry and dirty and he
wanted to hurry to hotel where he
could wash, get his supper and then
seek his room for sleep.
Charles inquired of the first man he
met as to where he could find hotel.
The man described the big hotel OF
the town, and told Charles to walk
down the main street to the big brick
house with a porch on it.
Charles walked down until he came
to such house and then walked in. A
heavy-set man in his shirt sleeves met
him and inquired his business, and
then nearly fell over when Charles
asked for a room. He carefully ex-
planned to Charles that he was the
sheriff and that Charles had wandered
into the county Jail.
Charles walked another block and
arrived at the real hotel.-Georgetown

Mead for stronger Roads.

Motor trucks are now made of such
great capacity that they are proving
a serious strain on the roads and
highways, so that in many states
there are regulations controlling their
movement, limiting their speed and
weight. An experimental grooved
concrete track is being tried on
long private right Of way between
Pittsburg, Kan. and Fort Scott, Kan.
Trucks and cars desiring to use this
road can do so on paying small toll.
The road is fitted with cement or con-
crete tracks, twelve inches wide and
concaved so that the wheels Of an au-
tomobile will stay in them. 1t is a
single-track line. with switches at GER
tain points, to allow machines to pass
each other. II this road is successful

BEST sEARCHLIGHT IN USE
One Employed In United States Navy
Said to Be Superior to Any
other Kind.

Government tests are reported to
have shown that new type of mirror,
now used on the largest searchlight
in service in the United States navy.
is manifestly superior to any reflect
ing medium heretofore developed for
this purpose.
Instead of being made of silver.
surfaced glass. the parabola consists
of a bronze casting electroplated with
gold. This form of construction seems
to have number of important points
in favor of it.
Silver is always subjected to cor
rosion, while gold is not. Further
more, the optical properties of gold
rejecting surfaces are superior to
those of silver in that the gold rays
penetrate thick, foggy atmospheres
much more efficiently than does light
reflected by a silver mirror.-Popular

PALATIAL ABODE FOR CATS
House for FeIines, in Connecticut, Is
Perfectly Appointed at Cost
of $25,

A palace for cats, which with its
furnishings cost $4,000, is the re-
markable establishment erected by
Mrs. Clifford B. Harmon, daughter OF
Commodore E. C. Benedict, at Green
wich, Conn. Mrs. Harmon is famous
as breeder of cats, especially An
goras and Persians, several of her
pets having won the championship OF
America at different times.
To care for these blue-blooded and
aristocratic felines properly, as well as
to show them to the best advantage,
Mrs. Harmon decided that a special
building was needed, Accordingly she
gave instructions to her architect to
draw plans for what is undoubtedly
the most modern as we'll as the most
costly cattery in the world. +
The establishment, which includes,
besides the kennels of the cats ten
room cottage and Office for those in
direct charge of the animals, covers
more than an acre. The main kennel
contains 20 pens for the cats, each
of which is fitted up with every known
device that will add to the comfort
and health of it's occupants. The par
titions separating the pens are Of fine
woven wire on highly-polished hard
wood base, thus insuring plenty OF
light and air. at convenient height
in each pen are several shelves upon
which the cats may climb. The pens
also contain dainty individual sleeping
baskets, and once a cat has been in
troduced to its own bed it never at
tempts to use that belonging to an.
other one. w
Even pampered and beribboned Per-
sian cats valued at a thousand dollars
enjoy an occasional romp out of doors
as much as the most plebeian.

During the progress Of the morning
bath of a few months old infant a

little girls doll was much the worse

Makes Effort to secure Child.

Another fight for the possession of
a child, six years of age, has been
staged in the chancery court here.
Mrs. Mabel Youngblood, who is sepa-
rated from her husband, and now liv-
ing in Meridian, has sued out writ
of habeas corpus to get the baby from
his grandfather, B. F. Youngblood, a
prominent merchant at Wesson. Mrs.
Youngblood recently made an unsuc-
tessful attempt to spirit the child away
from Wesson.
Mrs. Youngblood alleges in her petit

child, we'll able to take care of him,
and he is being unlawfully held by the
grandfather.
