MT. CARMEL

Leonard Spath entertained a num-
Der of his neighbors and friends last
Sunday afternoon.
Sunday evening there was quite a
gathering of the young folks of Mt.
Carmel at the home of Eugene
Fischer.
The thunderstorm of Sunday night
brought with it some hail, but the
storm did not last long enough to do
much damage.
Joseph Brick from the northwestern
part of this state is here making a
stay of a week with friends and rela-
tives in this settlement.
During the week Miss Katie Berg
mar has returned to her home at this
place from a visit of several days
with her sisters, Mrs. Tony Hutton Of
Dresden and Mrs. William Fischer of
Wales.
Frank Hotfarth and wife returned
to their home at this place on Tuesday
from a two months trip east. They
had not sent any word of their coming
and their arrival home came as a sur
prise.
Mt. Carmel was a live place for a
while last Sunday afternoon when the
eastern and western halves of the
township were represented by ball
teams which played a game IN the
diamond here in the village. At the
close of the game the score stood 7 to
IL in favor of the boys from the east.
There is to be another game played
between the same teams and at the
same place next Sunday, and it
promises to be a hot one.
1t would be a good idea if the
farmers of this settlement could make
up their minds to NOW down the grass
and weeds that fringe the sides of the
road. If the owner of each piece of
land did his share the task would be a
light me-. In addition to the neat
appearance of the neigborhood and
preventing the weeds from going to
seed we should be less troubled in the
winter time with roads being drifted
IN with snow and rendered impossible.
Here's where everyone can take a
hand and help along in the good work.

UNCLE TOMS CABIN
This Popular Old Time Production Presented in
LanadOn Tuesday Next Week

An Uncle Toms Cabin company
without a pleasing street parade?
What's that? A new innovation, you
say? Yes, that's just what Attebery
and Ferguson intended it to be when
they arranged the worlds greatest
production of Uncle Toms Cabin.
Instead they carry a perfect produce
ton scenically and artistically; consi-
dered by the press and leading critics
as the most stupendous ever attempt
ed and offered to you exactly as Mrs.
Harriet Beecher Stowe intended it
should be, line for line as written,
and interposed by a powerful cast.
To miss this truly great production,
especially organized for American
approval, would be to miss the one
chance in a life time to witness the
real production of Uncle TOMS Cabin.

Don't Mistake the Cause of Your Troubles Thew
May Prove Serious to Health

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only a muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it is
with all the other symptoms of kidney
disorders. That is where the danger
often lies. You should realize that
these troubles often lead to dropsy or
Bright's disease. An effective remedy
for weak or diseased kidneys is Doan's
kidney pills Residents of this vicinity
are constantly testifyiag.
Miss G. Ratliff, Park River, N.
Dak., says: 1.-The first notice l had
of something wrong with my kidneys
vas when my back began to ache all
the time. When l tried to straighten
after STOPPING, sharp pains caught me
in my sides. l was bothered by the
kidney %secretions too and felt bad in
every way. Doan's kidney pills re-
lieved my back at once and made the
kidney secretions more regular in
passage. | continued using them un-
til l was cured.'
Price SOC, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
Doan's kidney pills-the same that
Miss Ratliff had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

Death of Mrs. Oliver Brusseau

Last Saturday afternoon at 200
o'clock Mrs. Oliver Brusseau passed
peacefully away at the home of her
son Fred. She had been confined to
her bed for the past month and al
though surrounded with all the care
and comforts that loving hands could
provide, it required all her fortitude
to patiently endure the severe suffer-
ing she was called upon to undergo.
The cause of death was heart trouble
combined with other complication.
The funeral took place Tuesday
morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. Father
Doering officiating in the absence of
Father Mahieu. The beautiful and
impressive solemn high mass of the
Catholic church was sung and the
remains laid to rest in the family lot
beside those of her husband who died
ten years ago. The funeral was one
of the largest taking place here and
the great number of friends present
showed the high esteem in which the
deceased lady was held by all who
knew her.
Caroline LaPorte was born in the
Province of Quebec Canada, Feb. 2,
1887 and was IS years of age at the
time of her death. She was married
to Oliver Brusseau in 1855 and was
the mother of ten children seven of
whom are still living. The Brusseau
family vas one of the first to settle in
this county coming to Emerson, Man.
in 1882 and to their present home
north of Olga in 1883 and in the sue
ceeding years nobly bore their share
in the improvement and development
Of the parish. The house built by the
father aided by his older boys still
stands and all the lumber used in
building was taken from the surround
ing woods and sawed by hand and for
the spast 80 years has stood as an ex-
ample of what was done by some of
our early pioneers when they had to
depend on their own resources to
supply what necessities and comforts
they needed. During the years fol-
lowing their settlement here Mrs.
Brusseau was an able assistant to her
husband a loving mother to her child
rem a helpful neighbor to those fortu-
nate enough to live lear her and a
true christian. The stranger who
found himself in her home was re-
minded of the care his w mother
gave him for she was one of those
women whose large hearts find room
for all who come within her sphere.
| She leaves to mourn her loss seven
sons Joseph, of Hoople, Henry of
Marcelin, Sask., Adelard, Philip,
Peter, George and Fred of Olga and
one brother who still resides in Que
bee, Canada. Her loss will be deeply
felt not only by the immediate mem
bers of her family but by all who
were fortunate enough to know her,
and she will always be held in loving
memory by US all.
Among those who attended from a
distance were John McGauvran and
Judge Dorval, Robert Work and Thos.
Brady of Langdon. Her six boys
acted as pail bearers and lovingly laid
to rest the earthly remains of one
who had been to them all that a low
ing and affectionate mother could be.

zEPPEL|NS RAID
 ENGLISH COAST

London, Aug. 1.-Two Zeppelins raided the English coast Friday night killing 6 persons, wounding 23 and damaging 14 houses by dropping a number of bombs.
 The raids so closely following each other indicate to hte British military that other raids may be ex- pected almost at any time and en- ergency instructions are being ts- sued to the inhabitants regarding their course, of action whenever hostile aircraft appears.
 The dark nights will prove cov- CT, despite the searchlights, which have been installed on many of the taller buildings. The necessity of more English scouting air machines is impressed upon the mind of the military.

OREDCE
 IS SHUT DOWN

Fairbanks Times: Word was re- ceiVed flom Circle during the last few days that the Berry dredge on Mammoth creek is shut down and will not be in operation for sever al days. When the dredge was shipped in from the states, there were some parts missing. With the hope of keeping operations going, these parts were made at the dredge, but after running a short time, they provei unsatisfactory and it became necessary to quit operations until such time as re- pairs could be received from San Francisco.
 Tn, same letter which told of the shutting down of operations stated that the dredge was in good pay and was taking out big money when operations ceased. The dredge will probably be in operation again about the first of the month.

MAN
 FALL IN RIVER

J. H. sherman, a member of the White Pass bridge gang which was engaged yesterday in repairing the railroad bridge at the second cross ing of the Skagway river, that had three bents washed out by the high water of Saturday, had a rather eX- citing experience yesterday after noon including a bath in the ice cold waters of the river. While engaged in handling a heavy piece Of timber the water caught the op- posite end from where sherman was at work and in an instant he was whirled into the middle ot the cur rent, which, although not very deep, was running like a mill race. Sher- man was unable to get a footing or stop his rapid descent of the stream until he had covered a dis tance of about 100 feet, when he managed to catch hold of a will low bough and finally got to shore, with no worse damage than torn trouser leg, caused from catching on a snag while making his spectac- ular journey. The whole thing happened so quickly and was over So soon the other members of the bridge gang were hardly aware of what had happened until too late to render aid.
