Local POstOMce
Is Supply Station
for Stark COuntu

In accordance with an order issued
by the Postmaster General at Wash
ington, D. c., the postoffice at Dick
inson was named as the distributing
point to all offices in Stark county
for their needed supplies of stamps,
stamped developers and wrappers, etc.
This order became effective October
and the new arrangement will be put
into operation as soon as the supplies
can be forwarded to the Dickinson Of
flce. Heretofore acquisitions for these
supplies had to be sent to the de-
partment at Washington, before they
were obtainable.
This new order will undoubtedly
necessitate the employment of an
other clerk or two at the local office
in the near future. The distributing
facilities will be greatly cramped for
some time until the magn1rcen, new
federal building is ready for occu-
pancy, which the department promises
will be shortly after the first of next
year. When this change is made the
Dickinson postoffice will take it's
place in the front rank among the
postal institutions of the state.
Dickinson will be the accounting Of
flee, auditing, checking and receiving
payment for supplies from the follow
ing Stark county postoffices: Ante
lope, Belfield, Daglum, Gaylord, Glad
stone, Lefor, Lehigh, Richardton,
Schefield, South Heart, Taylor and

GLEN ULLlN
MAN KILLED
ON CROSSING
PASSENGER TRAIN NO. HITS
WAGON DRIVEN BY YOUNG
FARMER.
Gasoline Tank Carried in Wagon Ex-
ploded and Flames Envelope
Engine and Coaches of Train.

John Schook, a prominent Glen
Ullin farmer, was almost instantly
killed, and the lives of scores Of pas
sengers were endangered at 4:3O Sat-
urday afternoon when Northern Pa
cific train No. z struck Schook's
wagon at crossing at Glen Ullin,
fatally injuring the driver and explod-
ing a 5O-gallon tank of gasoline car
ried in the wagon. The gasoline
fumes, ignited by fire from the en-
CINE, spread to the five coaches which
made up the train, which almost i'm
mediately were enveloped in blanket
Of flame. Engineer James Mcdonald
backed rapidly to the water. tank, the
Glen Ullin fire department was called
to the scene, and the blazing coaches
extinguished after the exteriors had
been badly scorched, but before any OF
the occupants had been seriously in
jured.
Schook sustained a blow in the
back of the head, and lived only an
hour after the accident. The young
man was following another team
across the track, and it occupied his
attention to such an extent that he
did not notice the approaching train.
The wagon was squarely upon the
track when No. 7 struck it. The view
Of the engineer had been obstructed
by buildings abutting the right Of
way, and he did not see the wagon
until it was too late for him to stop.
The train was in charge of Conductor
J. Wilson and E. L. Patterson was fir
ing. The engine and coaches plainly
showed effects of the blaze upon the
arrival Of the train in Dickinson.
DR.. j. G. Moore, Bismarck district
uperintendent for the Methodist Epis-
copal church, was on the train en-
route to the state conference at Dick
inson. He states that only the fact
that all of the coach windows were
closed to exclude the cold wind saved
some of the passengers from severe
burns, if not death.

N. E. Church ";
Edifice Dedicated
Free of AU Debt

The fine new edifice of the Warren
A. Simpson Methodist Episcopal
church was dedicated with elaborate
ceremonies on Sunday last. The
crowning feature of this event was
the fact that the fine new building
was declared debt free just before the
close of the services, every cent of
the almost $25,O00 having been
pledged or paid in by members of the
congregation and loyal citizens of
Dickinson and vicinity who rejoiced in
seeing this splendid work completed.
To Rev. R. H. Craig, the pastor, is
due to great extent the realization
of this project. His pep, breezy good
nature and splendid character is ad-
mired not only by the members of his
own church, but by people belonging
to other denominations, and hence his
part of the work in financing the
building was comparatively easy.
Sundays program included ad-
dresses by DR.. Robertson, president of
Wesley college, Grand Forks; Charles
Wesley Burns, pastor of the Hennepin
Avenue M. E. church, Minneapolis, be-
sides former pastors of the Dickinson
church. +>
Several splendid song selections
were furnished by the church chorus,

tet. ~

There will be no more five and ten
cent cigars, no more five and ten-cent
packages of tobacco or cigarettes
the war tax will boost the present
price from one to five cents on every
thing in the tobacco line. A five per
cent war tax goes on the automobile; e.;
a tax goes on your income, your
candy, your toilet articles and your
luxuries, besides on many Of the
necessities.

Camp Greene, Charlotte, N. c.
"Bovs! This is the real stuff. This is
the kind of camp we dreamed about

Corpus Christi" exclaimed the men
who had seen service at the border
when they had an opportunity to look
over the site where the First North

"You rockies should have seen what
we had at the border and It you have
any kick coming Just forget it, for

Just how many men are encamped
here is something that even officials
don't know exactly, and II they did,
it is doubtful if they would give out
the information. The camp is stretcn-
ed out on the Carolina hills south
west of Charlotte, N. G., and each
state contingent has special quarters
of its own, embracing perhaps a quar-
ter section of land.
One of the North Dakota trains ar
rived about 10 o'clock this (Wednes-
dav) morning, and the second train
struggled along about 5 o'clock this
afternoon, Just in time to hurriedly
pitch tents before dark. The other
three trains are expected some time

FARMERS SHOULD INSIST
ON FULLY SATISFACTORY
INSURANCE. ADJUSTMENTS

Attorney General LANCER and Insur-
ance Commissioner Olsness sent out
a letter to the farmers Of the state
who may have insured their crops
against drought or hail, strongly urg-
ing them not to make any thing but
satisfactory settlement. Following is
the letter: tjaS
Many complaints have come to us
relative to the means Of settlement
employed by some companies which
insured against drought and hail that
we deem it necessary to notify you
that in all cases where your crops
were insured while in good condition,
we advise you not to make settlement
unless you get the amount fol: which
you are insured, less crop received.
The return Of the premium notes and
policies is not advised.
There is no need for any hasty set
stlement and we will be glad to have
you write us inquiring about such
companies before you make settle

Famous Snuff
Case NOW in u. s.
Supreme Court

Attorney General William LANCER
left for Washington, D. c., Saturday,
where he will argue case before the
United States supreme court. General
LANCER will represent the state in the
case of North Dakota against C. ].
Olson, who was convicted in district
court of violating Chapter 27 of the
laws Of 1913, known as the "snuff
act"
Olson was found guilty of violating
the "snuff act" before Judge w. c.
Crawford's court at Dickinson and
was fined $500. He took an appeal to
the state supreme court and the de-
cision of Judge Crawford's court was
sustained. Mr.. Olson then appealed
to the United States supreme court.
The offense on which Olson was ar
rested was the sale of four one-ounce
packages Of brand of tobacco which
is said to be snuff in fact. The case
was first tried under direction OF
Former Attorney General Andrew
Miller.
The case is an important one, ac-
cording to Attorney General LANCER,
and Mr.. Olson is backed in his suit by
the tobacco company which manufac-
lures the alleged stuff. Mr.. LANCER
expected to be absent from the capital
for several days.

Messenger OF October 9Th appeared
the following item:

Cured the marriage of caroline N.
Hartzell of Jordan, Mont, to Arthur
M. Hengel Of this city. The cerc-
m9ony was performed by Rev. FIR. M.
}. titzimmons, Cathedral rector, at
nuptlal low mass, after which the
wedding party repaired to the Hotel
t;aSalle, where an appropriate lun-
cheon was served.
"The bride, up until the time OF
her marriage, was resident Of Jor-
dan, Mont, where she occupied a
homestead. Three weeks ago she left
there for short visit at the home
OF her parents at Crawford, Neb., be-
lore proceeding to Chicago.
The bridegroom has been resi-
dent of, Valparaiso for the past year.
and is at present employed at the
Messenger office, besides being en-
gagged the past year with a law course
at the local university. Before COM
ing to this city he was manager of

at when place the romance Of the Two
young people began"
The Dickinson Press published an
article over a year ago, giving an ac-
count of the purported marriage of
Mr.. Hengel and Mrs. Hartzell. We
received this information from rela-
tives Of the bride, and we believe it
was authentic. Perhaps we were just
little bit too previous with the
notice, but all we have to offer is
that "it finally did happen" The
newlyWeds are we'll known in the

SPLENDID CHANCE
OFFERED DRAFT MEN
IN SIGNAL SERVICE

The War Department has called for
the immediate training Of some
$4,000 telegraphers, telephone men
and linemen in connection with the
coming demand for army service.
These men cannot very well be taken
from the service of the railroads and
the commercial companies, for obvious
reasons, and must therefore be trained
from the ranks. These men are to
be chosen from those at present reg
istered for draft and who are able to
pass the physical examination. This
branch of the service will prove very
attractive and may lead to rapid ad-
vancement, besides providing expert
ence that will count when the war is
over.
The quota assigned to North Da-
kota for this service is 300. The
Dickinson district, which is composed
Of the southwestern counties Of the
state, is asked to provide % recruits,
as follows: Stark, 6; Dunn, 3; Bill
lings and Golden Valley, 5; Bowman,
2; Hettinger, and Adams, 3.
The Committee of Education. of
the University of North Dakota,
working under the direction of the
State Council Of Defense, will have
direct supervision of the work. Dick
inson has been named as the training
point for the men who desire to enter
this service, and the local railway
telegraph and telephone Offices will
assist with the work Of instruction
and training. Hon. Alfred White OF
Dickinson has been named chairman
and has been placed in charge Of the
executive work in this district. Any:
one interested may obtain necessary
information from him, or from e. l.
