Frank Stefan, Known as the Bargain

Sale for Morris Bank.

Circulating rumors about the i'm
pending tremendous sale of the Pal
ace Clothing Store, Morris Bank, pro-
prietor, were suddenly confirmed to-
day by the firms prospective an
nouncement to that effect. The news

vicinity of Minot, who thus have a
rare opportunity offered them.
An enormous crowd is expected to
attend this public sale and vast prep

date the masses. Many clerks have

DEPOSITS CONTINUE !.
TO SHOW INCREASE N
LOCAL INSTITUTION
The Banks of Minot Show a Further
Gain in Deposits Since Last Call
Over $4,OOOOOO in Banks.

The Minot banking institutions con-
tinue to show an excellent record in
increase in deposits in spite of the
fact that many hard luck stories have
gone out from this section of the state
relative to poor crop conditions. A
study of the figures as returned by
the banks on June 30th and November
18th Of this year, is certainly interest
ing. The Association of Commerce
has compiled the figures showing the
increase between June 3Oth and Nov.
18th, and between Sept. 18th and
Nov. 18th, and these figures are given
herewith:
Total increase in deposits between
June 3Oth and Nov. 18th, 1884, 573. 90;
between Sept. 18th and Nov. 18th,
$3.50, 511.9O, showing that there has
been a steady increase for the past
four and one-ha1f months.
At the present time there is on de.
post in the Minot banks the sum Of
81, O18, 233.7O, as against $3,701, 558. 81
on Sept. 18th, and $3,141,178.56 on
June 30th.
When it is taken into consideration
that building permits for the first ten
months of this year totaled $780,
10000, the above record is all the
more interesting.
In a short time another bank will
be- opened in this city, when the de-
posits should run up to over $5,OOO,:
100000.

but got out where the ice was thin and
broke through. His cries attracted
his father, who came running and did
all in his power to get the little fel-

had to cry for help and managed to
attract Clifford Mason to the scene.
Clifford in his frantic efforts to get
Mr.. Strand and young Strand out be-

2,O26 PEOPLE RE- ELECTED
WILSON PRESIDENT OF U. s.

Two thousand, twenty-six people
reelected Woodrow Wilson president
of the United States!
You don't believe it? Well, here's
the dope.
Wilson carried New Hampshire,
which has four electoral votes, by $50;
he carried North Dakota, with five
electoral votes, by 1900, while New
Mexico, with three electoral votes,
was carried by $500.
These twelve electoral votes could
have been swung into the Hughes
column if 2,026 people, who voted for
Wilson, had voted for Hughes.
Looks simple, doesn't it?
But they voted for Woodrow, all Of
which tends to make politics the great
national sport.
