A. e. Preston, in charge OF Gus

the most luscious Strawberries
can be grown in Bismarck.
He won't yield the palm to Min

As proof he brought to The

largest strawberries seen in these
parts. One pint box tipped the
scales at " ounces and some OF
them measured more than an inch
in diameter through the largest
portion.
He set out the bushes last year.
They are Of the Mammouth Va

secured wonderful results. There
are from nine to IS berries on
every stalk.
Just take a look at the Pres

Bismarck's garden plots can

If you have had good results in

when father turned the little country
store that supported the family over
to mother and left for St. Louis on a
business trip.
"The night he left, burglar broke
into the store and dynamited the
safe, nearly frightening mother to
death. She telegraphed John to hurry
back.
''He was home again but day,
when he happened to pick up a local
newspaper and read that there would
be a competitive examination at Tren-

Immediately he made up his mind
to take the examination, and stuck to
his determination in spite of the plead

audited and checked up over the la-
tion, the national Red Cross society
will compile statistics.
Send Congratulations
H. P. Goddard, who was captain
and general manager of the Red
Cross drive, received a telegram from
c. w. Dietrich Of the Red Cross war
council, which reads:
''The war council appreciates your
splendid accomplishment in more
than doubling the apportionment."
Montana cities showed up very
strong per capita, due largely to the
big donations made by the mining
corporations. Butte averaged 81 per
capita; Great Falls, So; Helena, 1894,
and Missoula 4 cents.
For cities under $4,000, Bismarck
easily leads the Northwest and prob
ably the nation. Some small places
of 200 or 300 may show up larger
per capita, but for total amount of
money given, which. after all, counts,
probably no city of it's size in the
Union will approach Bismarck.

Bloomington, ILL.,, July 6.-'Nine

men were ordered to this city early
today to restore order following a
night of rioting, caused by the strike
of employees of the Bloomington &,
Normal Railway company, The strike
had been conducted in an orderly
manner until last night, when moth

crews. Several metormen and con
ductors were badly beaten. One riot
er was shot through the neck. ~
After breaking of several street
cars, the crowd started for the power
house of the company, which furnish
es commercial power and light. In
order to avert damage to the plant,
the power was turned off. The street
railway is subsidiary of the Illinois
Traction System, of which Congress-
man William B. Mckinley of Cham

Early this morning the city was
quiet, although there were persistent
rumors that the mob was forming
again.
The morning newspaper was un-
able to publish, owing to lack of
power, and many other industries
were similarly hampered, but the
power was turned on after the arrival
of the troops.

Exciting scenes marked the taking

The vote gave the government
about 20 more votes than. 1t usually
