Tombstone, Ariz., Aug. T. The
Bird Cage operahouse, the Can-Can
restaurant, the Red Light saloon
and the Tucson stage office remain
as relics of Tombstone's one time
glory as a mining camp. These old
buildings were once the scenes OF
the pioneer Arizona mining camp but
are now occupied by bats and are
slowly falling into decay.
The Bird Cage operahouse was
the most famous in the territory. IL
is rambling, two story structure
with the glass in the rough board
front broken by the elements. A
long bar occupies one end OF the
building while the piano players
raised platform faces it at the OPP
posite end 1t was on this platform
that the famous sign hung which
read: do not shoot the piano play
er. He is doing the best he can" "A
gallery extends around three sides
OF the opera house and the stage
occupies the fourth side. On this
stage the most famous variety per-
formers from San Francisco appear
ed in the old days. Autographs an
nouncing their coming still hang on
the walls of the opera house, the ink
still bright upon them. a dumb
waiter connects the bar with the
gallery above where drinks were
served at tables placed in each of
the little rooms which open onto
the big dancing floor. Many killings

BENEDICT NAN
CONVICTED IN
FEDERAL COURT
Found Guilty Of Interior
q ence With Naval Re-
cruiting-Fined $500

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 7.-E. c..
Simmons of Benedict, indicted on
three counts under the espionage act
Of June is, 1917, was convicted on
the third count by a federal court
jury which returned its verdict this
morning, commencing Simmons to
the clemency of the court, The court
assessed a fine Of 500 as the Bene-
dict mans punishment. The count
under which he was convicted charg-
ed interference with recruiting for
the naval forces Of the United
States.
This is a time for men to bride
their tongues, said the court in SEN
fencing Simmons. You have talked
too much and you have talked fool
ishly. I realize that you are from
Missouri, that warm southern blood
flows in your veins, and that you
are prone to be hot-headed. I am
not able to think Of you as actually
disloyal. I don't believe you In
tended to be unpatrIotic. But you
talked too much.
This is a time when men are Sc
we're in their judgments. Men go
about casting javelins at one anoth-
er and all must suffer. You have
suffered in this case. The rights of
she individual are small, but the
rights Of the nation are large. I am
glad the jury had the grace to &C
company it's. verdict with a recon-
mendation for extreme leniency, and
will accord it to you in a minimum
fine. Go back to your community
with malice toward none and charity
toward all. Behave yourself, and
don't go back in a spirit Of anger
and retaliation"
Simmons asked permission to
speak for himself. He was too af-
fected to say much, but he tntimated
that his arrest, indictment and con-
viction were the result Of a frame
up. The court recited to him the
tale Of the Man on the cross, and
his plea: forgive them, Father, for
they know not what they do"
The case against Fred J. Hottie
Of Williston, indicted under the es-
pionage act, was called shortly be-
fore noon today. Judge w. H. Bar
nett Of Fargo is defending.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be cares
full what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very injurious, as it
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub 1t in, about teaspoonful is
all that is required. It makes an
abundance Of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to han
die. Besides, it loosens and takes out
every particle of dust, dirt and dan
druff.-Advt.

Has Administrative Ability.
In 1915 Colonel Bundy was detail
ed as adjutant general at San. An
tonic, Tex. In connection with
Pershing's expedition into Mexico
unusual administrative responsible
itv fen on him, and the manner in
which he discharged this no doubt
made a further impression on PERISH
ing. After war was declared in 1917
Bundy was made brigadter general
and ordered to France.
A quiet man is Bundy, but socia-
ble.. He is a student of military
subjects and was for a time an in
structor in the infantry school Of
the line at Fort Leavenworth.
General Billiards. energy and abil-
ity were shown in guarding the bor-
der in the late Mexican trouble, and
there is no doubt that the activity
was influential in his selection by
Pershing for service in France.
The commander Of the Twenty
sixth infantry had two diversions
from the strain Of guarding the bor-
der at a critical time. One was
hunting wildcats. That was a ia
vorite pastime with the spoortsmen
down there, and General Billiard is a
lover of all kinds of sports. Dogs
are especially trained to trail the
wildcats and the hunts take place at
night, when the weather is misty.
Often the hunt lasts all night. Gen
eraI Billiard did not mind that if it
happened at a time when things had
quieted down along the border.
General Wright and General Read
have shown their qualities as mill
tary experts and leaders of men.

"frequented by Emperor William II

crown prince, who sought to apolog-
iZe for his very existence, Brother
Karl Uebelhoer, Benedictine friar
associated in the editorial manage
ment of The Volksfreund at st.
writes The Tribune a letter in which
he says:
II am glad that with the gener-
Gus help Of Uncle Sam, the old Ger
man Democrats Of 1848 are now
coming into their own, and that in
all probability the old Democratic
colors Of Germany, black, red and
gold, will supplant the Prussian tri-
color, black, white and red, which
that brutal Bismarck, not so very
far-sighted after all, has forced on
southern Germany (By the way,
can you not change the name of your
| town Bismarck into Baker, the we'll
| deserving secretary Of war, or into
| Wilson)
Germany cannot be right, con-
.tinued the writer IL she were right.
why are all the nations Of the world
united in league against her? It
might be possible that France be
blinded by lust Of revenge, or
| that England be moved by the spirit
| Of commercial jealousy; but it is
simply unthinkable that all nations
Of the world cannot discern right
| from wrong.
Furthermore, Germany is fight
| ing for an ideal which displeases not
only men, but God Himself. The
nation selected by Him, the Hebrews,
were originally republic, or, strictly
! speaking a theocracy, and since CEN
turtles Of modern history the Jews
were staunch defenders Of liberty
and freedom. But at the time OF
! Samuel, as every Bible student
knows, the Jewish people in a fit of
foolishness, demanded to be ruled
over by a king after the manner of
the heather. Holy writ states that
| Samuel was displeased with the idea
and that Jehovah himself disap-
| proved of it,"
The writer then traces the decline
Of the Jewish people under Saul
David, Solomon and other kings
down to the split which in 975 B. c,
divided the nation and weakened it
beyond all hope Of repair. He re-
calls Rome's glories as a republic,
and in conclusion says:
Emperor Augustus was praised
for ushering in a new era, but Pres
ident Wilson will, in the eyes of
thinking men, make that imperial
| splendor Of Julius Caesars successor
| look insignificant"

USE STEAM FOB CANNING.

Those who wish to save time and
labor in canning can purchase
steam pressure Gamers, which pro-
duce temperatures higher than 212
degrees F., or that of boiling water,
and shorten the period of processing.
Pressure cookers, which are light
to handle and which may be oh
tanned upon the market in various
sizes, are especially well adapted to
home canning, and at the same time
are most valuable for the quick and
effectual preparation of such foods
as cereals, beans, meats, ETC., which
ordinarily require long cooking.
They may be used to advantage
three times a day, the year round,
and the investment Of the small
amount of money required to pur-
chase one Of these is real kitchen
economy as regards time, fuel and

FARGO PUBLIC
SCHOOLS OPEN
SEPTEMBER 8
Sacred Heart And Moor
head Normal Also Open
Day After Labor Day

The Fargo public schools will all
open September 8, the day following
Labor day, according to the an
nouncement Of E. G. Guthrie, sec
rotary Of the Fargo board of educa-
ton, who has been the recipient OF
many inquiries as to whether or not
the opening Of schools would be
delayed until October on account OF
the need of farm help in caring for
the crops.
Mr.. Guthrie stated that while the
state department Of education has
recommended a late opening Of rural
schools, this in no way affects the
Fargo public schools, which, will
open at the usual time of former
years, the day after Labor day..
Work in the grades at Sacred
Heart academy will also commence
September 8, although the date for
the opening of the high school has
not yet been determined, but prob
ably will be at the same time.
The agricultural college will open
September 80, which is sufficiently
late to allow students to assist with
the harvesting before registering.
Lessons at Fargo college will COM
mence September 10, and at the
Moorhead Normal, September 8.

was sentenced to serve three years
in the federal prison at Fort Leav-
enworth, Kans., by Judge C. F. Am
idon after having been found gull
ty on three counts for violation OF
the espionage act of 1917, was not
a pastor of the German Lutheran
church, or of any other Lutheran
church. according to a statement by
a Fargo Lutheran today.
HE is a member of the Evan
gelical State church of Prussia, of
which the kaiser is the head and
which teaches totally different
faith from that of the Lutheran
church." said this Fargoan.
There is no connection between
the two Churches, and they should
not be COMPOUNDED. 1t is just as
wrong to say the kaiser is a Luth-
eran as to say he is Methodist"

CHAPTER lV-continued.

About a mile below the falls he met
two men. One Of them was Colby Mac
donald. He carried a coil of rope over
one shoulder. The big Alaskan ex-
planned that he had not been able to
get 1t out of his head that perhaps
the climbers who had waved at his
party had been in difficulties. So he
had got rope from the cabin of an
old miner and was on his way back
to the falls.
The three climbed to the falls,
crossed the bridge and reached the top
of the cliff.
"You know the lay of the land down
there, Mr.. Elliot. Wen lower you" de-
cided Macdonald, who took command
as a matter of course.
Gordon presently stood beside Sheba
on the little plateau. She had quite
recovered from the touch of hysteria
that had attacked her courage. You
weren't long" was all she said.
81 met them coming" he answered
as he dropped the loop of the rope over
her head and arranged it under her
shoulders.
He showed her now to relieve part
of the strain of the rope on her flesh
by using her hands to lift.
"All ready7" Macdonald called from
above.
"All ready" Elliot answered. To
Sheba he said "Hold tight"
The girl was swung from the ledge
and rose jerlily in the air She
laughed gayly down at her friend be-
low.

Gordon followed her couple of min
utes later. She was waiting to give
him hand over the edge Of the cliff.
Miss O'Neill. this Is Mr.. Macdon-
aid" he said, as soon as he had freed
himself from the rope. "You are fell
low passengers on the Hannah"
Macdonald was looking at her
straight and hard. "Your fathers
name-was it Farrell O'Neill?" he
asked bluntly.
"Yes."

The girls eyes lit. I'm glad, Mr..
Macdonald. That's one reason 1 want
