Italians Win Victory.

DATELESS, (To The Associated Press) Following the victory of the French troops on the Italian front and a determined offensive began by the French, the Italians have won another important vic- tory of the year by driving the Austrians from all bridgeheads on the western bank of the Middle Piave river, which the Austrians held since last November, when they made their first wide inva- sion on Italian soil.

ERNEST 0. MYHRE
dies IN CAMP

The following telegram was receiv-
ed by Mr.. and Mrs. E. K. Myhre Sun
day morning.
San Francisco, CAL, 1890 a. m.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. X. Myhre, 315
Normal Ave., Valley City. 1 deeply
regret to inform you of the death of
your son Ernest O. Myhre at 11:4O
p. M, July 9th, at this station. from
purpura hemorragiea.
This was the sad message sent by
the officers of the station where this
young man was stationed to the
stricken parents in this city, and the
news of the death of this splendid
young man falls like heavy blow
on the people of Valley City. Ernest
was one of the popular young men of
this city, clean and upright, and had
a large acquaintance of warm per-
sonal friends He was born and rails
ed here and educated here He was
26 years old May II. For some time
he was a valued >employe in the
freight Office of the N. P. in this
city under under Agent J. J. Cham
berlain and later on was bookkeeper
in the Russell Miller Company's mill
in this city, in both positions he made
good and his death is keenly regretted
by his former associates in both
places of business. The remains will
be sent back to Valley City for in
terment and will not arrive here until
about four or five days.
Ernest o. Myhre left his home to
give his services to his country to
help make all the countries of the
world free, and while he had not been
sent overseas for actual service he
was patiently waiting for the call to
duty which he was more than willing
to perform. He did not die on the
field Of battle, but his sacrifice is just
as great-he caught whatever dis
ease he died from in U. S. hospital
corps department thousands of miles
away from home and gave up his life,
No man could give more.

CLARENCE SHRUM
GIVES FINE TALK

A large crowd assembled at the
Scandinavian M. E. church Friday
to hear Mr.. Shrum give a talk on his
experiences in France and those who
were present say that he gave a very
interesting and much enjoyed talk.
The church was crowded to the doors.
Rev. J. S. Wilds made his initial visit
to this church and stated that he did
not know that they had such a live
bunch over there, which rather tickled
Pastor Danielson, who is in charge of
this congregation. Mr.. Danielson
told Mr.. Wilds that his church was
full of live wires and that if he would
come over some other time when they
had had something 9 hg he would con-
refreshments were served by the
Young Peoples Society who had
charge of the evenings entertainment.

THE CHAFFEES
RETURN HOME

Mr.. and Mrs. C. C. Chaffee, who
have been in the east for the past
few weeks returned home last Mon
day, tired out, but glad to get back
to North Dakota and Valley City. Mr..
Chatfee went away ostensibly for the
purpose of buying goods for his mod
ern and up-to-date ladies' wear store,
and when he went he was somewhat in
quandary as to whether he should
take a chance on the crop outcome
and buy heavily or whether he should
60 light on this buying proposition.
tie only thought once then acted, and
when he got into action he bought one
OF the largest and most up-to-date
stocks of the latest creation for the
ladies that ever came to the city and
ne will have. them here to display in
ms store for the benefit of the ladies'.
Mr.. Chaffee took chance on the crop
and he made right decision. While
we have not bumper crop in Barnes
county we are going to have a good
crop just the same and there is going
to be a big business here this fall
and people want the best there is and
are going to have them. Mr.. Chaffee
will have them. In this connection we.
want to say that while prices are high
they will not be as high at Valley.
City as they are further east and YOU
get just as good bargains right here
IN this town as you can get in any
other city in the State or out of the
state. Remember this and buy at
home: The Chaffees spent most Of
the time in New York, but visited i'm
Vermont at the old home of Mr.. Chat:
fee where he was called on account Of
the death Of his. father, and some time
was spent in Chicago and other
points. Mr.. and Mrs. Chaffee say that
notwithstanding the trip and the many
sights they saw while away, the best
to them after all was when they came
down the hill into Valley City-home
was the best place of all. How WON
derfdl it is after all, when you have 4
good horne, how glad you are to get,
back to that place and sit down in
your old armchair and breathe sigh
Of satisfaction as you say home

cow with sloping sheathed bow rein
forced by concrete, she had been used
in the sealing trade and this winter
had done Heroic service as an ice
breaker in New York harbor.
Frantic efforts were made by rela-
tives of the passengers aboard the
Florizel to learn the names of those
picked up by the Prospero. The first
message from that vessel stating that
at least 40 persons were waiting to
be rescued, held out hope that others
might be saved.
Rescue Work Dangerous.
Although the sea today was not as
rough as it was when the steamer
struck on the rocks, reports Indicated
that rescue work was extremely dan
gerous. The Florizels wireless was
wrecked, fires were out and the ship,
helpless and at the mercy of the
waves, offered little protection against
the cold and the fury of the elements.
Many of those lost yesterday had
attempted to reach shore in small
boats which were tossed about and
swamped almost in sight of men and
women watching from the bow of the
