STORE AND SCHOOL EX
HIBITS MAKE GOOD SHOW*
S INQ AT DEVILS LAKE
|jtevils Lake, N. D., Jan. 12.—With
the large roller rink handsomely dec
orated and crowded with agricultural,
educational and mercantile exhibits,
the first annual lake region mid-win
ter fair opened with an address of wel
come by Pres. W. H. Horton of the
cbinmercial club.
j*The exhibits from over the seven
ctftintics comprising: the lake region
are considered exceptionally represen
tative. The showing of grains, grasses,
vegetable and dairy produce is very
flpte.

One of the distinct features of the
fair is the lake region exhibit, which
vpas brought from the St. Paul Land
show intact, and which occupies a
conspicuous place. The educational
exhibit is probably the finest ever as
sembled In North Dakota. In this the
deaf school, the Fort Votten Indian
school, the Devils Lake public schools
and St. Mary's academy are repre
sented.
Handiwork of the women, Including
great variety of fancy work of all
varieties, is displayed, one entire cor
ner being devoted to it. The merchants
of Devils Lake have arranged at
tractive display booths on each side of
the main aisle.
For the fair and farmers' institutes
three floors of what is known as the
Operahouse block are being used this
week. The roller rink in the base
ment houses the fair proper. The au
ditorium of the operahouse is being
used for the institute lectures, a pro
gramme being presented each fore
noon and afternon. The second floor,
which is the home of the commercial
club, is devoted to a general head
quarters for visitors.
"»The crowd that attended the opening
of the fair and institutes exceeded the
expectations of the promoters.

LOTS GRAIN V
AT OSNABROCK.
Langdon Republican: While
Langdon has already shipped this
season nearly 700 carloads of
grain, and claims to have market
ed more from this crop than any
other town in the state, we are not
the "whole thing" according to
the following from The Osna
brock Independent: "There has
been 265 carloads of grain shipped
out of Osnabrock this season by
the local elevators and at the pres
ent time there are 110 carloads of
grain in the local elevators, which
makes a total of 375 cars which
have been marketed in Osnabrock
this season. And a local grain
buyer informs us that there are
about 100 carloads that will be
marketed here yet this season,
which means that the crop re
turns in this vicinity of Osnabrock
will exceed 650,000 bushels. The
cash returns of this crop will
come close to reaching the $1,000,
000 mark. Osnabrock's grain buy
ers can feel justly proud of this
record which is a hard one to beat.
In fact we don't believe that there
is a town in this state—or any
other state—that can beat it."

NORTH DAKOTA NATIONAL
GUARD OFFICE HAS SOME
FOLLOWING.
Grand Forks, N. D., Jan. 18.—-There
are likely to be some surprises sprung
at the progressive republican meeting
to be held in Fargo on Jan. 16. Some
of the most prominent progressives of
the state have been urging Col.
John H. Fraine of Grafton to enter the
race for governor. While Colonel
Fraine has made no public announce
ment, those closest to him say he is in
a receptive mood. If he enters the field
he will be a formidable candidate. He
is colonel of the North Dakota national
guard. His ability as a soldier was
demonstrated in the Spanish-American
war, when he took his regiment to the
Philippines and had five encounters
with the enemy and came home with
more medals for his men than any
other regiment.
ANOTHER SOURCE
OF FARM REVENUE.
®-r—
AsiiTey Tribune: fThe really at
tractive side of turkey farming was
best evidenced one day last week when
\Irs. B. C. Rietz, living southwest of
own. marketed with Emil Dierenfeldt
this city thirty-nine fine, plump,
young turkeys that netted her the nice
sum of $63.68. On the same day Adam
Weller brought in thirteen turkeys for
which he received $19.20. All the tur
keys were of this year's raising and
they were a fine lot of birds. As a
return on the investment, and the
time and attention involved, we doubt
if any other McPherson county farmer
"an show anything producing as good
a financial return.
IT GROWS HAIR.
Are Facts We Want Vita to
Prove at Our Risk,
Marvelous as it may seem, Rexall
"93" Hair Tonic has grown hair on
heads that were once bald. Of course,
in none of these cases were the hair
roots dead, nor had the scalp taken on
i glazed, shiny appearance.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic acts scienti
fically, destroying the germs which are
usually responsible for baldness. It
penetwU.es to the roots of the hair,
stimulating and nourishing them. It
is a most pleasant toilet requisite, is
delicately perfumed, and will not gum
or permanently stain the hair.
We want you to get a bottle of Rex
all "93" Hair Tonic and use It as di
rected. If it does not relieve scalp
irritation, remove dandruff, prevent
the hair from falling out and promote
an increased
gTQWth
of hair, and in
every way give entire satisfaction,
simply come back and tell us, and
tell us, and without question or form
ality we "toill hand back to you every
penny you paid us for

PLACED Oft TRIAL At LAKOTA
TODAY FOR RIFLING THE
POCKETS OF PASSENGER.
Lakota, N. D., Jan. 12.—William
Anderson and Claude Wideck were
placed on trial in the district court
here yesterday charged with robbery.
The complaining witness is Henry
Raketti, a Finlander, who is engaged
in farming near Michigan.
According to the complaint that has
been lodged against the men, they
were on a passenger train between
Michigan and Petersburg when the af
fair happened. Raketti was on his
way home from Grand Forks and he
charges that while he was standing in
the observation car Anderson put his
hand into one of his pockets and se
cured $100 in currency.
When the train reached Michigan
Raketti called for an afflcer and the
two men were soon placed under ar
rest, but not until after they had been
about the town of Michigan for sev
eral hours.
When searched Wideck had a wal
let with $175 in it, all in currency.
Of that amount, $85 was laid out flat,
while $90 was folded up and placed
in another part of the book.
In the $90 roll there were four $20
bills and one $10 bill. One of the
$20 bills wras a gold certificate and in
that description conformed with the
description of the money given by
Raketti.
Both men have entered pleas Qt net
guilty.
Stabbing Cass Next.
The Freeman Alexander stabbin?
case is the next one which will at
tract the attention of the district court
at Lakota, over which Judge Tem
pleton is presiding. Alexander was
arrested at Michigan last July as a
result of a row that started over a
card game, and in which there were
several participants.
Alexander has also entered a plea of
not guilty and will make a hard Aght
for acquittal.
North Dakota vs. fttwa.
MInot Independent: Wm. Koppel
man, a former southwestern farmer,
who bought the Gronenthal farm north
of the city, marketed $1,900 worth of

when it did, he is certain that he
would have gotten $700 worth more.

:that
Capt. J. F, Hayes of this city was
In Red Lake Falls last week on per
sonal business, and while there was
in conversation with a number of
people said to be acquainted with the
affairs at that place, who stated that
the Red lake 1b from three to three
and one-half feet lower this year than
when normal. That the log jams are
the cause of the low water in the
river is a theory scouted by many as
the river below the mouth of the lake
is full of logs, which there is not
enough water to float.
That the lack of rain in the terri
tory of the headwaters of the lake is
really the cause of the low wate^ in
the river, is the opinion held by
many. Lars Hanson, manager of the
Thief River flour mills, who was in
the city & dliofrt time ago, holds dif
ferently. Mr. Hanson firmly believes
that the drainage ditches in the
northern part of Minnesota have
something to do with the low water.
Contrary views are held by others,
it being contended that the lake is
from three to three and a half Beet
higher than usual.

OR NOT HIGH?
Grand Forks, N. D„ Jan. 12.—With
the coming of MaJ. iSrancis R. Shunk
to the city on Jan. 18, for the purpose
of hearing reports and complaints in
connection with the alleged log jam
in the Red Lake river and the condi
tions of the river and low water, in
crest has been aroused locally. At the
recent session of tho city council
Mayor Murphy appointed Aldermen
Ryan and Hunter a special committee
to investigate the affairs and to report
to the city council at the next meet
ing. The two councilmen were to have
gone to Red Lake Falls, Minn-, this
week but the cold weather has put the
trip out of the question as there is a
forty mile drive from that city to the
headwaters of the river that would be
unpleasant under the present climatic
conditions.
At thfe time I entered the hos
pital my hands and feet, and
Knees were badly swollen and
Very painful. I could not walk
Or go up and down stairs with
out great suffering, In fact I
would not move about unless I
had to do so.
I am now free from pain and
enjoying good health. There are
no symptoms of rheumatism left
in me, and I fteel grateful to the
DeBarthe Treatment for this
quick relief. I spent only one
week in the hospital, and thon
took up my regular work without
the least trouble.
I certainly can recommend the
DeBarthe Treatment to any one
suffering from any form of rheu
matism or nervous trouble.
Nothing whatever about the
treatment has been over stated,
in any way, and I am perfectly
satisfied with the results. Will
be pleased to answer any letters
from any one who may be suffer
ing from rheumatism.

Dear Sir:
I took tjie DeBarthe Treatment
two years ago. Before going to
the hospital for treatment I waa
discouraged and desperate, for I
had tried everything from Balti
more to Los Angeles without ob
taining relief, and had given
up and really never expected tb
be well enough to do anything
again.
It was a case of "root hog off
die", and as a last resort, took
the DeBarthe Treatment. My
trouble was a most stubborn case
of nervous disorder. Instead of.
toeing unable to do anything,:
am now engaged in carrying on
a largo farm in Canada, besides
attending to a large real estata
business. I personally know ot
many others who have received
remarkable benefit from thli.
treatment.
My trouble was of twelve years

Tolna, N, IX. Jan, 12.—George Brown,
was run down by a Soo freight train
two miles west of Loma, and sustained
injuries that caused his death. Mr
Charm, who was employed as fore
man on the Loma section of the Soo,
started out during the morning to
ward Alsen with a handcar, in com
pany with his son, Warren, to look
over the track to see if there were
any broken rails or bolts as a result
of the extremely cold weather of the
past few days. Having made very
little progress on account of the close
attention they had to pay to the track
on either side, they but reached a point
only two miles from Loma, when War
ren's attention was attracted by a
noise behind him, and looking around
saw the west bound freight bearing
down upon them and but a few yards
away. He had barely time to give his
father warning and step to one side
when the heavy freight engine sped by.
Warren succeeded in getting out of
the way, the pilot of the engine just
grazing the heel of his shoe, but his
father who stopped to look around
when his son called to him, was struck
on the side by the large cross beam
above the pilot just as he stepped to
one side and suffered internal injuries
from which he died a short time after
being removed to his home.

DECEMER COLLECTIONS FOR
STATE LAND DEPARTMENT
EXCEED FORMER YEARS.
Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 12.—The state
land department received $60,000 in
collections yesterday. If it had been
an ordinary morning—as to weather
conditions—and all the mail trains
running on regular schedule there is
no telling what the amount would
have been.
The amount received Is a part of
the December collections which by the
way exceed that of any other year
since statehood. The total collections
received up to yesterday for the month
of December if $229,281.56, of which
$125,273.37 is for„ interest $11,393.30

was always miserable with con

be so swollen and sore, I could
not lift a spoon. I could feed
myself, only with the greatest
difficulty, and only yesterday I
did my own washing and ironing,
something I have not done in the
past eight years.
I was really down in bed from
March until June, when I want to
the hospital for treatment. The
pain and swelling have left my
hands and feet, and I feel as well
as I could wish to be. I neveir

JOY A CANDIDATE?
Berlin Record: A belief seems to be
entertained in Grand Forks that WlUla
A. Joy, of this city is likely to be a
candidate for the position of delegata
to the democratic national convention.
The report is not confirmed, and it may
be a mistake, but it will be received
with a good deal of interest. Mr. Joy
is well known as a rugged and uncom
promising democrat and those who
know him know that there would be
no question as to his following the in
structions given by the voters at the
primary and of supporting the nomi
nee of the convention. Of course all
trese matters are entirely in the hands
of the democratic voters of the state.
