Mrs. Geo. II. keyes

The sad news, came to Oakes last
week of the very sudden death of Mrs.
George II. Keyes, one of the pioneers
of the county. She died very unexpect-
edly at her home in Glendale on We'd
nesday evening, March 9TH, acute in
digestion being the cause of her death.
She had not been we'll for some time
but was feeling as usual on Wednes-
day and was preparing to attend 1.-The
Birth of a Nation" to be given at the
opera house that evening. She left
the house with her little granddaugh-
ter but, after going about block, was
taken suddenly i'll and Mr. Keyes was
called to assist her back home. DIR.
Maercklein was Immediately called,
but nothing could be done, and she
passed away at $3.50 o'clock.
Mrs. Keyes was quite we'll known in
Oakes, having been very prominent in
the early days in the Order of the
Eastern Star, and served a term as
grand worthy matron of that order.
The Times joins her many friends in
extending sympathy to the husband,
two sons and daughter, and their fam
lilies who are left to mourn loving
wife and mother.

road brotherhoods on March wrote

the railroads the nation became in
volved in war they would cooperate

ment.
Neither President Wilson nor Sec

Dor had official information regarding
the intention Of the brotlerhoods to
strike unless satisfactory arrange
,nent was reached at Thursdays con.
ference. An investigation was begun
through governmental agencies, how
ever.

HOWARD MILLER

Death came to Howard Miller at the
hospital in Aberdeen Saturday evening
at 1880, after an illness which extend
ed over the winter. His main trouble
was diabetes, superinduced by aggra-
vated carbuncles on the neck. Howard
had been doctoring with the local
physicians, and on the advice of DR..
Meunier was taken to Aberdeen near
ly two weeks ago. The city authorities
here kept advised on his condition and
last Thursday, learning that he was
declining, Officer Burrows went to Alb
erdeen and remained with his co-work-
er until the end came.
Monday Mr.. Burrows accompanied
the remains to Oakes, and they were
met by members of the city council
and f1remen and escorted to the city
til the following day, when the funeral
was held from the M. E. church, Rev.
James Opie officiating. Six of the fire.
men acted as pallbearers, and men,
bers of the organization attended the
funeral in body. The minister took
as his subject "The Faithful Watch
man." Interment took place in Oakes
cemetery alongside of his mother,
who was buried here the 9th of April,
seventeen years ago.
Little is known of deceased's ante
cedents. Naturally of a retiring dis
,, position and not very approachable, it
is a little hard ho& to pick UP anything
regarding his life. Old timers have the
date of his birth as Dec. 26, 1861, and
his birthplace as New York state. His
mother was well known here. She
taught school and worked in different
homes here and at Glover. Howard
Miller had land that afterwards be-
came part of the Glover Ranch. He
came to Oakes twelve to fifteen years
ago, and had served the past ten years
as s'night watchman of the city. When
Moore Bros. had the livery barn How
ard, when not on duty, usually could
be found there, and the last years of
the existence of this barn had it
leased. The past year or less he had
the Coy livery barn leased.
Howard was a faithful night man.
He was always on duty, and was
known as terror to night disturbers.
He was the man depended on mainly
to handle the rough element that
comes through in the fall, and had a
way of handling them that was effect
i've. No chance for citizens to worry
with Howard on the job.
Deceased had an older brother
Harry who is buried in Fargo, but
nothing can be learned of his other
/; family connections.

has been messaged to the secretary of
state with the governors signature

to go into the session laws of 1917.
On and after July 1st, under house
bill 80, "It shall be unlawful for any

Boys and Girls Club Work

Between thirty and forty have now
signed up for this work and We feel
that we are going to have one of the
best clubs in the state. However we
need number more vacant lots, or
some of the boys will have to lrop out,
as they have no land Of their own
Will not those parties who own lots
here in town and allowed their to grow
up in weeds last year, report to myself
or Prof. Blume whether or not they
will allow the boys to use them fo1
gardening? We mean To raise some
prize vegetables and 1T will surely be
better to have these lots in vegetables
than weeds. Kindly let us hear from
you at once as to what YOU have to
offer, as all work will have to be or
ganized and reported by April 1st.

DISPLAY THE FLAG

The governor of our sister state,
Minnesota, has issued a proclamation
to the effect that the American flag be
displayed in all business places and
homes in order to show patriotism and
loyalty to the federal government. This
action will no doubt be taken by other
governors. And in anticipation of this,
as Patriotic Instructor of Gen. Burn
side w. r. c. No. 21, ask the citizens
of Oakes to show loyalty and patriot
ism by displaying the flag in homes
and business places. 1t is not through
lack of respect or appreciation that we
seem to neglect this duty-only indif-
ference. We should not have to be
asked to .'stand while we all sing
America" Every man should uncover
when the flag is borne in parade and
everyone should rise when national
air is given. Mrs. j. w. Bush.

NOTE: Nuxated Iron. which is pre-

is not Il patent medicine nor secret RENE

older inorganic iron products, it is easily

on the contrary, it is a most potent
remedy in nearly all forms of indiges-

great confidence in nuxated iron, that
they offer to forfeit 10000 to any chart

man or woman under 60 who lacks iron,
