TOOK
FARMFRS
COAL FROM CARS
SOME FUN HAD AT BERWICK
YE8TERDAY.
A Great Narthem Train Was Stalled
at Berwick and a Number of Farm
ers Unleaded Tap Tana of CoaiFxem
the Cars.
Berwick, N D., Dec. 352.—iA gathering
of
farnterjs from the nearby country
took
possession of a train here yes
terday a.nd helped tjjfmp^yes to ten
tons of coal. The .t|ul4 f^raa stalled
011 the village siding.
THE COAL SUPPLY IS OUT
Minnev*auksn and Edinburg Have the
Same Stories of Fuel Fam
ine and Laok of Cars.
Minnewaukan, N. D., Dec. 22.—Deal
ers here have had no coal to sell for
more than two weeks past, except one
email car of soft coal that came Dec.
18. This can was entirely sold out with
in five hours from the time of its ar
rival and then in but half ton lots, and
many who are in actual need did not
get any. Farmers did not get a
pound, it all going to town people. The
public schools have been closed over a
week for lack of fuel. The courthouse
has but two tons on hand, and that
was taken by the officials from an N.
P. engine that "died" here recently.
Had it not been for this supply the
Benson county courthouse would have
today been locked to the public for
lack of fuel. Dozens of farmers have
come to town for coal the past ten
days and have not been able to get
any. Neither is there a stick of wood
on the market. Unless fuel supplies
come very soon a great deal of actual*
suffering will come to the people de
pendent upon the railroads of Benson
county. Coal has been hauled from
other towns by team. Until two days
past, the weather has been very se
vere—either exceedingly cold or bllz
zardy.
The grain situation is as bad as the
coal proposition, only it does riot en*
tail so much immediate suffering. Per
haps 40 per cent of the grain tributary
to the county seat of Benson county
remains unmarketed. Business is
stagnated, as people have no money
either to pay past obligation nor to
purchase more goods the community
has to depend entirely upon the mon
ey from the crops and as nothing can
be sold there is no income.
Local dealers hate had coal ordered
tTt-TSwme raws stne^tast- Arrgw*,—a«*
a large number of orders standing for
more than five or six weeks.
Minnewaukan has had some five
cases of smallpox recently. Among
others afflicted are County Auditor J.
W. Olson and the wife of Sheriff
Aker.
Banker Christlanaon left recently for
an extended business trip to the twin
cities and other points.
Edinburg.
Edinburg, N. d, Dec. 22.—One car
load 6f coal arrived here Thursday,
after having been on the road for six
weeks, ten days of this were spent in
the yards at Park River—ten miles
distant. The dealers are all out of
coal. A small supply of wood in town
will keep us from freezing up for a
few days.
Elevators are all full for want of
cars though there are three or four
empties standing on a side track, but
the trainmen refuse to take them to
the elevator. It is known that grain
men here ship to local millers In Min
neapolis, assuring promptness in tak
ing care of the cars at their arrival.
School closes this week for a two
weeks' vacation. The principal, Mr.
Durocher, will spend his vacation at
his home at St. John's Miss Sprague
at Grand Forks and Miss Peterson at

FARMER IS SORE.
He Seeks a Warrant for the Arpost of

Mr. Peterson, a farmer nine miles
southwest of' Fargo, has a. grievance.
A friend of his had a nice suit of
Clothes, which attracted his attention.
•On inquiry Peterson learned it came
from Rubel's store in Fargo. He in
quired the location and went where he
thought Rubel was located. He fell
into other hands, however, and was
eold a suit
On comparing notes with a friend he'
discovered that the purchase had been
made at another store than Rubel's.
He returned and endeavored to trade
back, expressing dissatisfaction at the
quality of the suit. He was thrown out
-of tho store.
Peterson sought a warrant for his as
sailants and may yet secure one. HQ
paid more for the suit than he would
have paid at Rubel's and the quality
was not so high, nor was the style ao
up-to-date.
Luther Burbank," the pTant wizard,
has demonstrated how different modes
of treatment will have different effects
In apples, and he holds that the same
is true of nien. By way of illustration
he tells of a good natured fellow who
had a shrewish wife. One morning
after abusing him roundly, sh© drove
him to work without his breakfast,
While on his way downtown in a street
car he heard a sour-looking woman
dispute tyith the conductor regarding
her fare. At length she Baid: "Is

THE MERCHANTS HAVE DONE A
GOOD BUSINESS DURING THE
CHRISTMAS RUSH—A GENERAL
FEELING OF SATISFACTION
FELT OVER THE RESULTS*
A bigger ^nd better holiday trfde
than ever before in the history of Far
go is the way tlifc majority of the* local
merchants express themselves regard
ing the business which they have done
during the past few weeks. The stores
have been full nearly all the time and
considerable difficulty has been ex
perienced in handling all the business.
"The holiday rush began earlier and
has continued longer than I ever knew
it to do before," said the proprietor
of one of the stores which always has
a large quantity of holiday goods on
sale and is a favorite place for Christ
mas buyers. "I put on a number of
extra clerks and yet we have hardly
been able to take care of all our cus
tomers."
Several of the merchants expressed
the belief that the farmers from this
vicinity were not buying quite s
heavily as last year and attributed
this to the poor crops in the valley,
but all were unanimous in saying that
the city trade broke all former rec
ords. Hardly a better indication of
the prosperity of Fargo could be found
than this increase in business, as
people generally when they are ob
liged to economize do so in Christmas
presents rather than in necessities.
But this year they did not feel ob
liged to stint themselves in any way,
so they loosened their purse strings
and are spending money with a lavish
hand, evidently with the determination
to make everybody as happy as possi
ble.
Today the spirit of Christmas per-1
shoppers were busy making their pur
chases. Everybody was In a merry
mood and seemed bent on pleasing
everybody else and likewise on buying
a huge quantity of things for the
youngsters at home ^nd for friends
and relatives. Dignified men and wo

Last Wednesday the fall term of the
/present season was closed by a re
cital given by some of the advanced
students who, without exception, did
splendid work. This term was bv far
the most successful one in the history
of the schoftl, the material being of ex
tremely .high order and the enroll
ment exceeding the total of any previ
ous entire season. Not less than
sixteen concerts were arranged by the
conservatory, tho faculty giving eleven,
students three, and outside artists
two. The new term will begin Jan. 2,

and while the registration day is
fixed upon Dec. 3, enquiries are com
