CELEBRATION DRAWS CROWD
People from Miles Around Attend
July Third Festivities

Celebration day has come and gone
once more, and we had a better taste
in our mouth the next morning than
we did last year, principally because
Oakes won the ball game.
Early in the morning things were
given running start by the booming
Of guns. From that time until the
rain put damper onto the proceed
ings this was lively place.
The water battle in the morning
was something new to local people,
who enjoyed it to the utmost. The
spectacle Of several men fighting each
other with nothing more dangerous
than hose which spouts a terrific
stream of water is interesting, to say
the least.
After dinner the crowd was enter
tained down town by the street sports
and automobile races, which were ex-
citing from beginning to end. After
this the crowd repaired to the ball
ground, where they feasted to their
hearts content over the defeat Of Ell
lendale.
The aeroplane fight was the best
ever given here, the birdman flying
above town, so close that the machine
appeared to be in danger Of scraping
the chimneys off the houses. All the
stunts about which we have read and
never seen were given, and a few ex-
tras for good measure. The loop-the-
loop and tail spin were the most diff
ficult feats performed.
Lovers of the dance were allowed
to indulge all afternoon and evening
on the bowery erected on the COM

Clean Up Notice

July 9th, 1870.
In order that the good health of
this community be conserved to the
utmost, the following rules given out
by the city board of health should be
observed:
Clean up. all refuse piles, destroy
weeds or keep them moved, see that
the alleys and vacant lots are kept
clean. Small amounts of garbage if
carefully drained of fluids, can be
burned in the kitchen stoves. Tin
cans, broken glass, ETC., should be kept
in separate piles or, better, barrels.
Ashes is Of value in surfacing streets
and alleys if it contains only ash, and
the city will be glad to get it for said
purposes.
In case Of failure to observe the
above, the city will be forced to 90 to
larger expense in order to clean up
and keep clean, and any such expense
will be assessed to parties responsible
for unsanitary nuisances.
The obstruction of rats and like YER
min should engage the earnest atten-
tion Of all parties since they are par
ticularly destructive to food supplies,
besides being one Of the chief causitive
factors in disseminating diseases.

SWIMMING HOLE
CLAIMS VICTIM
Fred Wedel Drowned in Bare Creel
Under Railroad Bridge Just
North of Oakes
BROTHERS WITNESS TRAGEDY
Neither Could Swim, and Were Un.
able to Render Assistance

Fred Wedel, son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
August Wedel, was drowned in Bare
Creek between 1900 and 1:OO on the
afternoon of July third.
Together with his two brothers,
Ernest and Albert, Fred left the We
del farm about 10 o'clock on the morn
ing of the third, coming to Oakes to
celebrate.
The day was fearfully hot and about
noon Fred suggested to the other boys
that they go down to the creek for a
swim, as they would have time to get
back before the races started. Ac-
cordingly the three Wedel boys, &C.
companied by q cousin, Ed Uecker,
and Oscar Bakkegaard, the two latter
from Yorktown, drove to the creek
and entered the water. Opinions diff
fer as to just what happened, but the
party had been in the water only a
few minutes when it was seen that
Fred was in trouble. He called for
help and sank. None Of the other boys
could swim, so they were obliged to
stand helplessly by while their broth
er and friend drowned.
The other boys hastily dressed and
came up town for help. Jas. Huff
man and one Of the Leverty boys sue
ceeded in recovering the body, which
was taken at once to the hospital, but
it was too late for anything to be
done.
The unfortunate young man had
just started in farming for himself
last year, and had put in 290 acres
this spring.
The parents and family are heart
broken as result of the terrible ac-
cident, and cannot be comforted.
Fred was we'll known and liked by
everybody, and his untimely taking
away is sad shock to the community.
Funeral services were held Monday
afternoon from the residence at 300
o'clock and from st. Johns Lutheran
church at 2:30, Rev. H. F. Eggerf of
Gwinner having charge. Interment
was made in the Oakes cemetery.
The people Of Oakes and vicinity
extend their sincere sympathy to the
bereaved relatives in their sad hour.

The Fly

The house fly exists only through
the toleration Of men-a liberation
which, were it not ignorant, would be
criminal.
The house fly is the most terrible
single enemy that mankind has among
living creatures. Beasts of the jun
gle have slain their thousands. OF all
vermin he is the most filthy; of all
purveyors Of disease the most deadly.
The house fly is born in offal-no-
where else. And his life is in keep
ing with his birth. He lives, to the
day of his death, in filth. The man
ure pile, the cuspidor and the cesspool
are his home. It is from those haunts
that he comes to visit the kitchen, the
dining room and the nursery. He
drugs his filthy feet across the bread,
dips them in the butter, wipes them
on the meat and bathes in the milk.
He seeks out the sick room of the con-
sumptive, the typhoid fever patient
and the child with summer complaint.
Then he flies to the kitchen and de-
posits the poison on the rim of the
milk bottle, and to the nursery, where
he lights on baby's lips.
Don't mind a rattlesnake or two
about the house, but kill every house
fly as you value your life and the lives
Of your children. Don't buy your gro
ceries or your milk or bread or fruit
Of any dealer who is not as particular
as yourself. There would be little ty-
phoid fever without the house fly and
little chance of cholera infantum. And
there can be no flies where there is no
filth. Keep your kitchen, cellar and
yard clean; let no refuse accumulate.
Put lime about the stable and keep the
garbage pail tightly covered; use fly
traps, sticky paper and the wire pad
die until the house is clear.

LANCER BEATEN BY ABOUT 6.ooQ
Latest Reports Show Ladd Well Ahead
of Gronna

The first milestone in the battle for
supremacy in North Dakota between
the leaguers and antis has been passed
and there is no denying the fact that
while the leaguers have much the best
Of it, it was grand scrap and every
body got run for his money.
Frazier's majority is estimated at
anywhere from 5000 to 5000, while
Ladd seems to have a safe lead at
last reports, and will be our next
senator unless he is beaten in the fall
election.
Congressman Baer lost out in his
district, which was a big surprise and
disappointment to the leaguers, but
the man who will go in his place will
make an able representative.
The only drawback to the defeat of
Gronna will be the loss Of representa-
tion on the various committees, but
Ladd is an able man and should re-
ceive recognition up there before long.
Newspaper men throughout the state
want to see Gronna have every oppor-
tunity to help settle the news print
situation. He is on the investigating
committee and, together with his as
sociates, has made representations to
congress which should produce results
when the next session convenes.
If Whites name had been left off
the ballot Gronna would have made a
better showing, with possibly diff
ferent result.
Hall seems to have won out over
Cahill for secretary of state, and Con-
gresham Young was returned by a
healthy majority.
With 81 precincts still to hear from,
Miss Nelson is over 5000 ahead Of
her opponent.
Dickey county showed one of the
closest votes received, 924 for LANCER
and 913 for Frazier.
The anti-red flag law, about which
so much has been said of late, will be
on the statute books now, for the vot-
ers having made it plain that they
want only one flag.
Politicians will now grid up their
loins for the grand battle next fall.

Oakes was well represented at the

In Mondays game the score doesn't
show how close the game really was,
because Oakes had the bases full two
or three times, and at least once lost
their chance of winning the contest
by poor judgment. In other words,
Ellendale didn't win, we gave it to
them.

MRS. ]. NJ. WEBB
DIESOF INJURIES
Crushed Beneath Overturned Automo.
bile Two Weeks Ago on Road
Near Verona
MADE A BRAVE FIGHT FOR LIFE
Funeral to Be Held After Arrival of
Sister, Probably Friday

OakeS IS IN tears. Inc 0eaCn anger
has again descended into our midst
and summoned one of our best known
and most popular young women, one
whom we could not afford to lose.
Mrs. j. M. Webb, who was crushed
when the car which she was driving
turned turtle on the road just south Of
Verona two weeks ago last Monday,
passed away at the Oakes hospital
Wednesday morning at 7:15.
The spinal cord was partially sew
cred at the time Of the accident, and
the victim has been entirely helpless
because Of paralysis. While it was
known that she was in a dangerous
condition and her life almost despaired
Of several times, it was hoped that
she might ultimately recover, at least
partially.
Everything that medical skill could
devise was done in the vain hope Of
saving her life. A few days after
the victim received her injuries, a
specialist was summoned from the
cities in order that nothing might be
left undone. He held out practically
no hope, however, stating that the end
was only matter Of short time.
Mrs. j. M. Webb was born at RAN
dolph, New York, Nov. IA, 1883. She
came west in June, 1905, and lived
with her sister, Mrs. c. Hall, at Shey-
enne, N. D., for about a year, during
which time she taught school. In
1906 she was united in marriage to
Mr.. Webb at New Rockford. The
newly welded couple then moved to
McHenry, where the groom establish
ed himself in business as druggist.
Here their daughter, Cecile, was born
in 1908. The family came to this city
in 1911, Mr.. Webb purchasing the
Rexall drug store, of which he is at
present proprietor.
During their residence here both Mr..
and Mrs. Webb have endeared them
selves to our people through their So
cial activities. Mrs. Webb has taken
an active part in church work, being
q member Of the Episcopalian con-
gregation and also an unceasing work.
er in the Woman's club and other or
ganizations. Every worthy cause has
always been ole-heartedly support
ed by Mrs. Webb. Her home has al
ways been a most hospitable one, her
many friends considering it a great
pleasure to participate in her enter
tainments.
In the untimely death Of this worthy
lady, Oakes people suffer an irrepar-
able loss. She was the life of every
gathering at which she was present
and her place cannot be taken either
in the home or community. It is the
irony of fate that this beautiful blos-
som should be plucked in mid-season.
Besides her husband and daughter,
Cecile, Mrs. Webb leaves two sisters,
Mrs. Grace Kelley Of Buffalo, N. Y,
and Mrs. c. L. Hall of Sheyenne, N.
D., and a brother, A. Brown, of Ran
dolph, N. Y.
The funeral will be held from the
residence, probably Friday. Final ar
rangements will not be made until
the arrival Of Mrs. Hall.
