CHERRY SISTERS ARE BACK

The Cherry Sisters are back on
the state, and the following is
taken from the Kansas City Star:
They appear This week at Nc
Vickcr's i'm Chicago. Twenty years
ago the sisters toured tins land
and packed theatres. Everyone
went wild over them because They
were such poor entertainers.
Wherever they went they raised
a typhOon of misses and groans.
Vegetables and other missile were
hurled at them until they had to
have net stretched across the
stage to protect them from bo1n-
bardment.
After a lapse ola few years
they are finding that the stage.
isn't what it. used to be. Instead
of a shower of debris they r.
received nothing but jovial misses
from the audience. Competition
i'm all lines has increased. Their

they succeeded. Finally they ven-

The Thompson Yards, Inc, is
the new firm that is now in our

purchased the VIM. H. White s.
McCulloch Lumber interests in
this city and at Dwight, at least.
M. G. McQuoid is the new local
manager of this concern, and at
this time of writing he had not
yet arrived from Minneapolis,
where this company his its head
quarters, but was being looked
for every day.
AS they are making their for
NAL announcement to the people
of this vicinity. in another column
of this paper, elsewhere in this
issue, it will pay you to look it
over. This concern is devoting
great deal of their time at other
places for the erection of silos on
the farm, and announce that they
are out to get a two hundred silo
club in this vicinity. They believe
that the silo is a great help to the
individual farmer, as they realize
that diversified farming pays bet
fer and is more sure than the US
ual grain crop.
They intend, also, as far as we
can find out, to increase the d
mount of material OH hand. and
no doubt will erect a modern lum-
ber shed to house their material.

WE'LL KNOWN IN.
THE LITTLE TWINS
Mrs. Carrie Olson Price, The Wo-
man In tho Price Murder Trial
At Minneapolis
KNOWN IN LOCAL CIRCLES
And a Great Many Of Her Friends
Took Great Interest In tho De.
tails Of tho Trial

Mrs. Carrie Olson Price, nee
Miss Carrie Olson, who figured
prominently in the Price Murder
Trial, in Minneapolis the past two
week, is remembered to great
many people of the little twins.
Her reputation at that time was
never doubted to any degree and
those who knew her at that time,
always spoke we'll of her. Wheth-
er the opinions of these same peo-
pie of her reputation have chang
ed at this time, we cannot or will
not say
Miss Olson made her home with
friends, and some say with an un-
Gle in Breckenridge, but neverthe-
less she was quite a local favorite
at that time. 1t is also confided
to the Times that some of her
friends here, which we can say
without a least doubt as being re-
putable men and women, visited
her in Minneapolis, and say that
her conduct was beyond reproach
as far as they could find out.
Miss Olson is credited in the
trial with associating with this
man Price, who has been declared
guilty of numbering his wife,
while the wife was still living
Then evidence was produced al
the trial that she and Price be-
came intimate friends, few
months shortly before the death
of his wife, and were married
shortly after the crime was COM
mitted.
The fact that she was a person.
al friend of a number of people
here, is not against her friends
here, but that sometimes you can
never tell who and what your next
door neighbor is.

WHERE WILL YOU
BOARD THE TRAIN
Here or at Breckenridge for Min
neapolis or Other Points In
Minnesota
MARKED CHANGES IN RATES
Owing to the Fact That tho Inter.
state Commerce Commission
Changed tho Rate Law

About month previous the In
terstate Commerce Commission
at Washington, d. c., at the ear
nest request of the railroads
changed some of the Interstate
Commerce laws, by allowing in
some states the raising of pass
enger rates a quarter of a cent
on interstate commerce, and al
ready in Minnesota the raise has
already taken effect. In North Da-
kota, however, the two and half
cent mile rate remains the same.
Here is where the mixup arises :
In Minnesota to any other point
in the same state the two cent
mile fare will remain the same,
but if you buy ticket in this
state to any point in that state
then you will have to pay two and
a quarer cents IA mile after cross
ing the Minnesota border, even
though you are only passing
through the state.
II you board tile N. p. here fol
Minneapolis from Wahpeton il
will now cost you four dollars and
ninety five cents, and if you take
the train from Breckenridge then
it will cost you only four dollars
and thirteen cents, leaving you q
profit of eighty two cents.
1t is now thought that the pas
scnger business in breckenridge
will increase, by patrons from
this town. BY riding the street car
to Breckenridge and then walking
to the depot which will probably
be the custom, you are still II
cents ahead of the game.
just what will result next sum
mcr when the Sunday fishing eX-
cursiun train starts its regular
run on Sunday into the lage re-
gion of Minnesota, with relation
to the above, remains to be seen.
but nevertheless The amount of
business at the breckenridge Of
flee. whether il will increase cr
not. will be watched with interest
by local people.

Onstad and Schnitt, furniture re-

in with Mr.. Schlnitt. but nothing
can be said at tIlist iIne only that
the deal will undoubtedly take
place.
Mr.. Onstad when questioned
about the reasons of his retiring
from active business life, said
that his health was not very good
and that the change would give
him more time to- be out in the
open air. Mr.. Onstad will still re-
main among us for the present, at
least. and will devote his entire
time this summer to- his farm

Mr.. Schmitt when questioned
about the new firm, said that
nothing in general could be said
