MILES CITY BANK
CLOSES ITS DOORS

The Custer County Bank at Miles
City has been closed under an order
of the state banking department and
it is understood the work of adjust
ing it's affairs will commence at once.
No definite statement has been issued
on account of the serious sickness OF
w. C. McClintock, president, who in
the days of his health was an active
financier, making a speciality of real
estate loans over the eastern part of
the state.
1t is thought by those best informed
that the assets of the bank will COW
er the liabilities, and that it will be
a question of time only when settle
ments will be made, which is believed
will be to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned in the unfortunate event. just
what the time required will be is
problematical, and will depend large
ly upon the facilities with which the
assets can be liquidated for the ben
eft Of the depositors.
Mr.. McClintock was the active heac
of the institution, and it is felt thai
If he is able to regain his health, his
assistance and participation in ad
iustments will aid materially in has
tening the final settlement to be made

SO KILLED, 60 INJURED IN
ALABAMA MINE HORROR

Birmingham, Alas, Nov. 23.--Eighty
four lives were lost and 60 persons
were injured as result of an acci-
dent and explosion yesterday in Dolo-
mite No. 3 coal mine of the Woodward
Iron company, according to a state
ment issued at noon today by Frank
H. Crockard, president of the company.
Of the injured, 35 were removed to
their homes; 25 were hospitals. Work
of Identification had not been COM
pleted but it was believed there were
38 white dead and 20 white injured.
The accident and blast occurred al
most simultaneously like two flashes
of lightning, entrapping AIT men,
Weary hours had passed before 333
of these workers had escaped by means
Of two manways into adjoining mines
and by the main entry.
Flames shot hundreds of feet in the
air from the mine mouth and making
it impossible for rescue workers tc
descend for several hours. When thu
flames subsidized, rescuers found tracks
twisted and cables ruined by the run
away of train Of trip cars, an acci
dent which caused a spark to toucl
off the dangerous dust.
! In feverish haste means of exit wer
established in the main entry but be
fore this was accomplished scores o
the entombed men had answered tn
welcoming shouts of rescue worker
who had entered the remote manway
from other mines. From all three eX
it's men were carried out or climbe
to safety.
| Scenes of pathos about the min
mouth during the night and earl
morning hours continued as relative
and families of miners known to hav
been in the mine when the blast OF
Cured waited expectantly for news {
, their loved ones.

METHODIST MEMS SUPPER
is A SUCCESSFUL EVENT

Among the events looked forward to
is the "feed" prepared and served by
the men of the Methodist church at
time during the fall season each
year. On this occasion all formality
is dispensed with and the quality and
quantity Of the food served are the
features especially emphasized. This
years mems "feed" occurred on Fri
day evening of last week in the Meth
odist church with C. A. Collins in
charge of all arrangements and also
presiding in the kitchen. He was as
sisted by about 25 men, appearing in
various committee groups.
Tables were arranged the entire
length of the main auditorium and
there were tables also in the various
parlors and Epworth League rooms
of the church. The fact that the wrap
ping paper as covering was among
the table appointments, in no way de-
tracted from the following excellent
menu served:
Roast beef, brown gravy, mashed
potatoes, mashed turnips, baked beans,
rolls, pickles, apple pie, cheese and
coffee.
About 800 patrons were served and
many favorable comments have been
heard regarding the abundance of
food and splendid service.

WORK PROGRESSING
IN SACO OIL FIELD

The Homestake Oil company have
most of their equipment hauled to
their location. The derrick is nearly
finished and they expect to be ready
to spud in some time next week. They
have a very complete outfit with
plenty of casing for a deep hole and
are ready for steady run when they
get drilling.
The Phillips County Oil and Gas
company is on rock at a depth of
about 1900 feet. The gas and oil
showings are stronger than ever and
it is thought that this might be the
cap rock of the Frontier sand where
oil is expected.
Representatives from several oil
companies have been in the field the
past week trying to secure leases or
which to drill in the spring.

MONTANA RAISES BIG
CROP OF TURKEYS

More turkeys have been raised in
Montana this year than ever before,
according to the state department of
agriculture which has found the num-
ber so large that it has undertaken
to keen the growers advised as to the
available markets, prices and express
and freight costs.
Weekly bulletins giving the latest
prices in hte Pacific coast markets, in
St. Paul, Chicago, St. Louis and other
places, obtained by telegraph, are be-
ing sent out by the department. Eff
fort is also being made to furnish in
formation as to the number of turkeys
that can be absorbed in any market,
to keep the growers from augmentlng
a glut in any part of the country.
eve have reports from many places
of hundreds of turkeys which are all
ready for market" said C. c. Davis,
head of the department. "Any census
of the number of turkeys in the state
is impossible, but the aggregate of the
reports received in this office shows
it to be big. The reports come in from
all over. in many places from points
off the railroad.
| "Our effort will be to keep the grow
er advised, so that if he is not salts
fled with the price offered by the To-
cal dealer he can get his neighbors to-
gether, make up a carload or even
smaller shipment, of properly dressed
turkeys, figure the latest market price
and know the freight or the expires:
charges and ship direct to the large
centers"

GOV. DIXON ISSUES
PROCLAMATION FOR
THANKSGIVING DAY

Helena.-Setting aside Thursday,
Nov. 80, as THANKSGIVING day, to be
observed throughout the state, Gov.
]. M. Dixon has issued the following
proclamation:
"The procession of the seasons in
their fulfillmcnt of the immutable
laws of nature brings us again to
the period in our American life that
by custom has been dedicated to a
solemn rendering of soulfelt thanks
to Almighty God for the favors that
have been the portion of the people
of the nation.
"In the year that is passing Mon
tana has Jared well in temporal
things, and our people seem justified
in harboring the hope and belief that
the lean yexrs' has..vs departed, no more
to return. Our industries and our
commercial institutions are slowly
but none the less steadily on the re-
turn to normal, and altogether the
outlook for the state is such as to
encourage all who have an abiding
faith in the commonwealth. In the
realm of things spiritual, too, we have
progress. Our institutions of learn
ing are growing rapidly, and our
churches and other organizations that
are giving thought and endeavor to
the betterment of mankind show pro-
gress in all lines of their work. Surely
then, we may approach the coming
hallowed festival in the spirit that
wholly benefits the day.
"Therefore, I, Joseph M. Dixon
governor of the state of Montana, dc
hereby join the president of the
United States in designating Thurs
day, the thirtieth day of November
Thanksgiving day.
"On that day, setting aside all ou
cares and our labors, let us as peo
pie gather in our churches, our homes
or such other places of worship as ma.
seem best suited to the purpose o
the day and there unite in a session
of Thanksgiving and prayer to All
, mighty God for the blessings that hav
., been conferred upon us and implor
> ing his aid and guidance in the year
that are to come.
"In witness whereof have hereunt
:. set my hand and caused the grea
; seal of the state to be affixed"

POPLAR CHARGES
ILLEGAL VOTING
COUNTY SEAT CONTEST OVER IN
ROOSEVELT COUNTY NOT
YET SETTLED. ....
CASE IN SUPREME COURT
Decision of Court May Affect Results
of General Election in Office of
Associate Justice of the w
Supreme Court.

Helena, Nov 22.-The fight by Wolf
Point for the county seat of Roose-
welt county was carried to the state
supreme court Wednesday morning
when Ex-Governor E. L. Norris of
Great Falls, acting for Wolf Point,
filed application for writ to compel
the commissioners of Roosevelt coun-
ty to count the votes Of precincts 3,
81, and %.
The votes in those precincts, without
which Poplar would not get the coun-
ty seat and with which it was alleged,
the seat would go to Wolf Point, was
thrown out by the board of canvassers
on the ground that the voting place
of Precinct 81 was on Indian ground
| and of Precinct % was in the wrong
building.
Poplar has been declared the perma-
ment county seat Of Roosevelt county
by an action Of the canvassing board
in rejecting three precincts in the of
fetal canvass which was completed on
Monday. While the official figures
have not been given out, the maj rity
election is placed at "a.
The canvassing board of Roosevelt
county has been in session since last
Friday, it's meetings being literally in
terspersed with arguments by attor-
neys representing the towns of Poplar
and Wolf Point, the two contenders in
: the recent county seat election. DR..
J. L. Atkinson, through his attorneys,
i George f. Ericsson and Erick Noun,
g petitioned the canvassing board to re-
Il ject the three precincts, two of them
S upon the grounds that the voting was
e done in polling places other than those
: designated by the board of county COM
missioners; the other upon the grounds
that the voting was done at an In
dian agency ma licensed Indian trad
E ing post.
Attorney George E. Hurd of Great
r Falls appeared for Wolf Point and has
e been in attendance at every session OF
e the canvassing board. supported by g
h large delegation of Wolf Point people
,r who, 1t is said were intent upon NOV
is ing the county seat to their city i'm
ID mediately following the official can
is vass. In this action they were opposed
If by the board of canvassers.
D. By tabulation of the vote of Roose
velt county it is shown that a large
lie majority of the farmers voted to re
re tain the county seat at Poplar, and i
is is the contention of great many tina
re this county, being in the agricultural
TX class, the voice of the farmer shoul(
le carry great deal of weight.
1e The rejection of the three precinct
vo may have more than local significance
vo owing to the close contest between
h. Matthews and Stark for associate jus
tice of the supreme court. The un
OF official returns show that Stark has ;
ok majority of 1872 votes in the thre
ed precincts in question and from pres
er ent indications this might be enough t
he elect him to office.

So we'll has the postoffice service
been organized of late years that no

Fl. s. GLEE CLUBS TO
GIVE MINSTREL SHOW

The folk songs of America are the
plantation songs Of the negro, and
there is no music which makes such
an instant appeal to the American
people as these Negro melodies. To
Stephen Foster we owe most of these
songs, but many of them have been
unavailable in some localities.
On Friday evening, December 8,
in the high school auditorium, the
members of the girls and boys glee
clubs will present the "Old Cabin
Home Minstrels," by Carrie B. Adams,
which features the darky plantation
songs.
The conscientious efforts of Aunt
Dilly to direct the activities of her
craft O. chillun," and their "paw,"
Uncle Toby, who seems disinclined to
shoe de coan," as his several sons
brings many a hearty laugh, while
the Interviewing of the lovely old
darky melodies which move Aunt Dilly
to tears, reminds the listener that the
darky was not always happy though
he sang.
Ten little picaninies, whose chief de-
light is in watching Ophelia, Aunt
Dill'y wayward child, are source OF
great amusement as they clamor loud
ly for the chicken pie which has mar
rowly escaped disastrous fate in thu
oven.
The camp meeting is great deligh
to the darky, who is usually very re
ligious. Many of the religious song:
of the darkies are included in thi
scene, but the untimely appearance O.
load of watermelons has an unfor
tunate effect.
The minstrel ends with hom'
scene in which the favorite songs o
the darky figure.

Christmas seals came into use Is
years ago, when they were sold to pro-
vide funds for the tuberculosis work
fostered by the American Red Cross
in conjunction with the National Tu-
berculosis association.
The tuberculosis work made such
rapid strides and the war brought so
many extra demands upon the Red
Cross that the roll call was instituted
as means of providing greater funds
for its work and the seal sale taken
over entirely by the tuberculosis as
sociation and the proceeds used for
the furtherance Of anti-tuberculosis
work. The seals are now known as
Christmas seals instead of Red Cross
seals.
The results of the work done by the
tuberculosis associations through the
funds derived from the seal sale have
been apparent in almost every state
in the Union. The death rate from
tuberculosis has been cut in half ant
through the educational work a more
hopeful outlook regarding the disease
has been established. It is now gen
orally recognized that tuberculosis i
