he had $40, bit* that he could take care

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is the only positive curc now known to
the medicial fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers, that
they offer $100 for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of testimon

TERRIBLY BURNE^,-
Widow McLean, living with her sons,
Frank and George McLean, four miles
southwest of Drayton, was probably fa
tally burned Saturday afternoon, in a
fire that totally destroyed her com
fortable dwelling, together with all its
contents.
TM two sons were plowing some dis
tance from the house when a fire broke
out in the upper story of the house,
presumably iif the root from a defective
chimney. Mrs. McLean heard the noise
of the fire and went to the stairway
door to investigate.
The flames burst out as sfte opened
the door and she was driven back. She
then attempted to make her escape
through the front door, but fell on the
threshold. A farmer working nearby
was attracted by the fire and rescued
Mrs. McLean from her perilous posi
tion, but not until she ha been so ser
verely burned that it is feared she can
not recover. Her sons reached the
$cene soon after she had been removed
from the burning building, but they

THE PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD. A SMALL SUNDAY BLAZE
The Animal Meeting U Over—The Session Was Fire Department Does (food Work and Prevent*
prind Forks Herald: The nineteenth
annual session of the Presbyterian
synod of North Dakota was adjourned
at: noon yesterday, closing one of the
most interesting meetings ever held
!'Y tlie Presbyterians in this state.
Following several reports Rev. A. E.
I riscoll of St. Paul, "field agent for
Macalestcr College, gave an earnest ad
dress on Christian education, commenc
ing Macalester College to the patronage
of the synod untjl such a time 'as the
synod has a. college of its own. This
met with a sympathetic hearing, which
was voiced in the following resolution:
"Resojved, that we Jiave heard with
great pleasure the Rev. A. E. Driscoll,
the representative of Malcalester Col
lege, and as synod we heartily com
mend the work done by that collegc
and commend the college to the patron
age of the people ol the synod of North
I akota."
The trustees of the old Jamestown
College'were givetif authority to dispose
ft the college building if they deem it
ise to do so. The place of holding
the 1904 synod meeting was left to tl)e
officers of the synod.
The cause of the North Dakota
hildren's Home Society was brought
to the attention of the synod in a brief
address lay Rev. Edgar W. Day, vicc
president of the society and chairman
its executive committee. This call
(1 forth a sympathetic and earnest re
sionse on the part of many and was
followed with a resolution of commend
ation.
The thanks of the synod were ex
truded to the pastor, officers, singers^
and congregation of the Grand Forks
Presbyterian Church for the many
courtesies? shown. The following paper
v as adopted regarding the women's
u ork:
"Last evening we heard with interest
.lnd pleasure the report from the Wo
men's Synodical Missionary Society, as
II resented by Mrs. Grace H. Brown, the
president. As shown by that report
there is an interest and a reaching oi
results .which are worthy not alone of
our commendation, but of our imita
tion.
"Resolved, That we as a synod ex
press to the women of this society our
most hearty appreciation of their work,
and give them our pledge of whatever
support^ is within our power, especially
in the way of enlarging and strength
ening their efforts.
"That the report of Mrs. Brown be
printed ill the appendix to the minutes
of the synod."
The roll was called, the minutes of
the day read and approved and the
synod adjourned after singing and
prayer. THis closed a meeting of im
portant work and goqd fellowship.
The guestion of a church college was
put over another year, and the entire
matter was referred to a permanent
committee made up as follows:
Bismarck Presbytery—Rev. A. C.
Brown, Rev. A. W. Hayes, Bismarck.
Minnewaukan Presbytery Rev. D.
Mclntyre, Rev. C. N. MicManus.
Fargo Presbytery—Rev. W. H. Hunt
er, Rev. C. M. Taylor.
Mouse River Presbytery—Rev* I, C.
Wilson. Rev. R. J. Mclnnis.
Pembina Presbytery—Rev. Frank''H.
tjays, Rev. J. H. Thomas.
The committee, to which was referred
the college matter a year ago, recom
mended the appointment of this perma
nent committee and the new committee
submitted the following report:
Your committee organized by elect
ing Rev. C.'M. 'iaylor^ of Jamestown,
as chairman and treasurer, and Rev.
Frank H. Hays, Grand Forks, as secre
tary.
The committee recognizes that the
essential thing to be done is the put
ting of a man in the field, as recom
mended by Rev. T. D. Acheson, after
one month's work in that line, and asks
the synod to instruct them so to do as
soon as they shall secure $500 to de
fray his expenses.
An executive committee of the col
lege board was constituted of the offi
cers of the board, together with Rev.
A. C. Brown.
The executive committee was auth
orized to encourage any community in
establishing an academy, but to dis
courage putting money into real estate
until a reasonable endowment shall have
been secured.
In view of the fact that the Mouse
River Presbytery is desirious of estab
lishing an educational institution with
in its bounds and under its care, and
that good progress has already been
made towards securing the necessary
funds ^nd the incorporation of the
school therefore, be it
Resolved, That the synod of North
Dakota, hereby expresses its approvat
of this movement and pledges its hearty
sympathy to the brethren of the Mouse
River Presbytery in their laudable enter
prise,

a Costly Conflagration.
An a&rm turned in at 7:30 yesterday
morning called the fire department to
the Everhart show case factory, located
on Front Street, «just off of Eighth
Street North. A^ quick responce wfcs
made, and aside'from the silght blister
ing of a turning machine but little dam
age was done.
Men employed in the N. P. yards dis
covered a heavy cloud of smoke issuing
frotti the lower windows of the factory
shortly after 7 o'clock. A41 alarm was
promptly turned in and when the de
partment reached the scene a blaze
about five feet high was discovered in
the middle of the room, originating in
a pile of saw dust under a turning ma
chine. A stream was turned on and
the fire was speedily extinguished. The
turning machine is some distance from
the stove and a good sized pile of shav
ings and saw dust intervens, which was
not burned, which explodes the theory
that the fire originated from the stove.
Chief Sutherland is of the opinion that
a cigar stub or a match was carelessly
thrown under the machine Saturday
night and that it laid there smoldering
until morning, when it developed into a
good blaze. A costly conflagration was
prevented by the prompt work of the
department. The loss will not amount
to more than $100, which is covered by
insurance.
MORTON INTERESTED.
Mandan Times: Morton County is in
earnest in callilng for its share of the
benefits to be derived from the irriga
tion scheme of the national govern
ment. Not that this section is depend
ent on irrigation for raising crops, but
the county is watered by numerous
streams on which dams could be built
and reservoirs constructed to retain
the waters from the melting snows of
spring and the early rains so that good
crops would be assured in the driest
years.
At the session of the board of coun
ty commissioners this week a list of
prominent farmers and business men
was named to attend the irrigation
convention .which is to be held at Bis
marck Oct. 30-21 to voice the senti
ments of Morton County. Win. H.
Brown was named as chairman of the
delegation.
MYSTERY DEEPENS.
Minneapolis Journal: Mystery sur
rounding the murder of Leonard C.
Dare, the harvest hand sTiot on a Nor
thern Pacific freight train near North
Town function Thursday night, was
deepened today when nis cousin, Albert
Cronk, of Walkerton, Ind., arrived.
Cronk told the officers that Dare was
with Pat Sherlin of Walkerton, lnd.,
and a young man named McAllister.
The three are supposed to have started
home from North Dakota together and
it 'is thought that Sherlin and McAlis
ter were murdered by the holdup men
and their bodies disposed of.
Frank Bennett, Edward McFarland
and G. G. Burcham, who were on the
train coming from North Dakota, were
given a description of Sherlin and Mc
Allister. All remember Sherlin. They
say that Sherlin and Dare were to
gether in a lunch room at Staples and
that they saw both of them at St.
Cloud. They do not remember Mc
Allister, but Sol and Chris Erickson,
two other stowaways, gave the police
a description of Dare's partner yester
day. They said he was older and
much larger than Dare and was dark
complexioned. This corresponds to the
description of McAllister, who is said
to be about 24 years old, 5 feet 10
inches tall and weighs about 170.
Cronk says that the three boys have
been together nearly all their lives at
Walkerton and that a year ago the
three went to North Dakota together.
They made good money and this year
determined to return to the harvest
field. *They left home late in July and
went directly to Cooperstown, N. D.,
where Dare and McAllister secured
work on the South Cooper ranch, four
miles from town, and Sherlin found
work on an adjoining farm. The three
were together last week yid a letter
written to their people at Walkerton
explained that they were working hard,
but were getting $2.50 a day and board.
They did not speak of returning home,
but the recent rains have driven many
harvest hands from Dakota and it is
thought they started home together.
What could have become of Sherlin
and McAllister is a puzzle. The police
feel confident that the two men were
on the "train when Dare was killed. If
they Were killed and fell from the mov
ing train, their bodies would have been
found by fhe railroad men who search
ed the tracks yesterday. There are
Only two other ways of explaining their
disappearance. Either they were seri
ously grounded and, falling from the
train, crawled into the wgods, or they
were killed by the robbers and their
bodies remained in the car which was
loaded with apples and was transfer
red to another road without the icebox
being opened.
Detective Nick Smith advances the
last -theory and has asked the railway
officials to trace the car and learn if
{he bodies can be found. In the mean
time the right of way will be searched
for the bodies.

AN HONORABLE PROPHET.
Minneapolis Times: W. T. Foster,
the amateur weather prophet, must be
enjoying our late spells of weather*
Not that Mr. Foster is a man who i» i
happy at other people's wifseries, i'&f"
the "Foster Forecasts" are benevolent
prophesies so far as intention goes,
Their author intimates that if they had
been more observed tlje farmers would
have had time to cov^r up their grain,
stacks and put up storm coats oVef:
their potato patches.

In brief, Mr. Foster feels that Natdte
has vindicated him this past year. The
stars in their courses fought for Sisera
and the tornadoes and cloudbursts have
gone into a union to establish the Fos
ter weather bureau In competition to
the federal service. By some hocus
pocus the horologe of our weather has
always turned out very nearly as Mr.
Foster has predicted the past summer.
BROTHER'S INSURANCE.
Kate O'Brien, Alice Knause, Mary
McDonald and John Harvey, sister'^
and brother of the late Edward Har
vey, who died at Manvel on March ,|»
1902, have brought an action against
the Modern Woodmen of America to
recover the sum of $1,000, represent-,
ing an insurance policy carried in t$gt
order by the deceased.
An answer to the complaint has just
been filed in the district court in this
city. The order denies all liability,
claiming that Edward Harvey had prior
to his death a few months been re
instated as a member in good standing
by making affidavit that he was in good
health. The claim is made that he was
not in good health at the time, but waa
suffering from tuberculosis from whi^lji
he died a month later.
The order further claims that the
beneficiary of the policy was the wife
of the deceased, who had died previous
ly to his death, and that the present
claimants are not legal heirs.
The case will comc pn for a hearing!,
at the December term of the distrust
court.
