Second Section
The character of a stranger ia judp
ed by his manners and appearance.
The prosperous personage bears the
rar-inarks of success engraved within
his appearance. This same method of
classifying our fellow beings applies
much more forcibly to cities, localities
and nations. It is universally e*
pressed by the streets, the Inhabitants
and structures of any municipality,
it Well Locateld.
Regent, North Dakota, is one of
those broad-chested smiling western­
ers, who meets you on your side of
half-ways with one of those -welcom­
ing, heart to heart handshakes, and
who proclaims you as one of its cit­
izens the minute your feet greet the
depot platform. It is located upon
the Chicago, Milwaukee and Puget
Sound Railroad midway between New
England and Mott. The former town
being 18 miles northwest of this thriv
ing Hettinger county city, while Mott
is twelve miles east along the Mil­
waukee line. Regent is not yet five
years old. Yet it is an agricultural
city that hi^ developed without the
ufsual boom of a new town, from a sod
cabinet,to a city with men and firms
of. uiiuai^t calibre as its heart.
feubdj^iai Banking institutions.
The Citizen*) State Bank is a stable
financial,iljstitulon with «eo. E. Towle
as pppsidbiii. aiMl, F. O Orth as vice
president and R. Lrth as cashier.
Meet those men and I can assure you
that you will agree with me in the
statement that the future of this insti­
tution can be nothing but one success
staked upon the shoulders of another,
making a hurricane proot' foundation
for the thousand of other successes
that are bound to come to this pros­
perous Hetting County banking house.
T. J. Smith, president J.. P. Jones,
vice president, and A. C. Cioldtrap.
cashier, are responsible for the record
breaking growth of the First State
Hank of Regent. Those men have
modeled out of the rought uncertainty
of a new town an institution that, is
worthy of the pride of a city ten times
as large as Regent. The capital of
this hank is $10,000 while the deposits
mount to the $30,000 mark.
With a capital of $i.0,000 and state,
apt} county deposits the Regent State
Hank is a secured bauking house that
can assure the most conservative per­
son of a safe depository and a liberal
rate of interest. Mr. Frank* A. Brown,
Jr., tbe.^Yy'acUve' president of
this procrpetous concern Is an. energet­
ic financier, -while Mr. Prank E. El
lickson, cashier, is a courteous anu
skillful business man who is always
wiling to help the new-comer, and lend
a hand in the boosting of Regent.
Business Houses Active.
Pusiness talks, and the barometer of
business is the volley and value of
tranacted business that a community
enjoys. It i» also the 'barometer of
prosperity of any city. Judging Re­
gent by this standard it is a city of
•business and here are the men and
Tha
the Arms that are doing the business.
The Chicago Cash (Store carries a
complete line of high classed mer­
chandise, and P, Braufmnn can show
the ladies an up-to-date line of dry
soods as well as the latest fads in
shoes and luits. Try the Chicago
Store and you will be pleased with
your bargains.
The firm of H. H. Ekeland was es­
tablished in Nov., 1911. shortly after
the Chicago, Milwaukee and Puget
Sound railroad had completed their
line through Regent. During the 'past
three years Mr. Ekeland has develop­
ed a wonderful business, and has one
of the best general stores along the
Cannon Hall branch of the Milwaukee
system. The Ekeland line of general
merchandise and clothing is equal to
that found in many eastern cities of
lve thousand population.
Engel and Company, that stable
home of general merchandise and ag­
ricultural implements, which has done
so much for the development of Het­
tinger county is the pride of Regent.
Mr. Eaton Engel, the manager of this
prosperous corioration has developed
a sales force that is almost equal to
that of the International Company.
The machinery that this firm handles
is the best that, is on the market while
their line of general mercandise has
won the hearts of all the people in
Regent.
Mr. J. O. Ilorswill, dealer in general
merchandise, came to Regent when
there was no Regent. He is one of
those men that did not wait for the
railroad, but. came before it and estab­
lished the Pioneer Store. Mr. Hors
will's store is still the Pioneer Store
•when it comes to the best and the
latest at. the right prices.
Regent has a complete hardware es­
tablishment that would make a great
many hardware dealers in cities ten
ties as large as this thriving Hettin­
ger county city wonder what they are
going to do with such a large stock
if it was to be placed at their disposal
today. Mrs. A. H. Switzer, the owner
of this establishment smiled in his
good natured way when the Tribune
man inquired as to his system of dis­
posing of his goods. He said !e in­

Grain Dealers ro*pering.
The McCaull-Webster Elevator com­
pany deals in lumber, coal and feed

and above ail minor ambitions. Meet
Mr. Clias. E. Davis and you wlill know

After Cereinenles Body Was
Taken Vest to lis Liist
Resting Place
WASHINGTON, March 20.—Chris­
tian funeral services lor Hollow Horn
Bear, the last of the great chiefs of
the once powerful trilJe of Sioux Indi­
ans, were held Monday afternoon at
St. Paul's Catholic church, 15th and
streets, northwest, in the presence
of about thirty-five members of his
race, a number or prominent govern­
ment officials and a gathering of sev­
eral hundred interested spectators.
it was one of the most notable cere­
monies ever seen ip Washington and
was as impressive as it was unusual.
The services were for an Indian
whose face is kiiown throughout the
United States,-the government having
honored him by having his picture
printed on nearly every five-dollar cer
ticate sent out from the treasury dur­
ing the last tew years.
Large Crowd Attends.
Long before-the bour of the services
every pew in the* church was filled
and a large crowd'bad gathered about
the entrances in an uft'ort to gain ad­
mission. The services of several po­
licemen were heeded to keep an aisle
open through the crowd in order that
the coffin bearing the body of the
famous chief could be carried into the
edifice.
The pallbearers, selected from six
Indian tribes, were: Richard Wat
lace, Crow John Carl, Chippewa
Thomas L. Sloan, Omaha P. H. Ken­
nedy, Blackfoot J. N. B. Hewitt, Sen­
eca, and Joseph Craig, Umatilla.
The twenty-live or more chiefs who
came to Washington to witness the in­
auguration of President Wilson aud
several women of their race walked
solemnly belijnd the rose-bedecked
casket as it was carried to the front
of the church. A number of Jhe
chiefs wore their gorgeous native cos­
tumes, adorned with feathers and vari­
colored beadwork. The procession
was led by the vested choir chant­
ing the miserere. The Indians were
assigned to pews close to the bier of
their departed member.
Secretary Lane Present.

prominent government officials, in­

The services were conducted by
Rev. W. li. Ketcham, director of the
bureau of Catholic Indian missions, a
close friend of Chief Hollow Horn
Bear, who administered the last rites
of the Catholic church to him just be­
fore his death at Providence hospital.
Saturday. Father Ketcham was as­
sisted by the Rev. William Hughes,
assistant director of the bureau of
Cutholic Indian missions. The priests
in the sanctuary included Very Rev.
Mgr. James Mackin. Rev. Dr. J.
Creagli, Rev. D. John I). Maguire and
Fathers King and Walsh. Master
Sylvester (Jiddings sang "O Home of
.Fadeless Beauty!"
Father Ketcham's Tr bute.
In a brie!" address preceding the fu­
neral sermon Father Ketcham said, in
part:
"Hollow Horn Bear belonged to a
race that thirty-four years ago was
considered barbarian. Since that time
these people have embraced the ways
of the white man and have become
civilized to a degree that has never
been equaled in the same space of
ti no by any other race. I challenge
the whole world to produce a race of
uncivilized people who could equal
tills record.
"Hollow Horn Bear was a, frjend or
the white people and a Chrtjfctton. He
had few equals among his jjiOTile."
Father Ketcham told off Hit first,
meeting with Hollow HoriijMtyr and
of his visits lo him during his last
hours.
The sermon was preached by Rev.
Charles Warren Currier. He told of
the development of the Indian under
the wardship of tbe white nan. He
told of the labors of Hollow Horn
Bear to bring his people out of savag­
ery.
Following the service the body was
taken to the Union station and, ac­
companied by John Green, a Sioux
Indian, was started on its way to the
Rosebud agency In South Dakota.
Kin On Way to Capital.
The wife and daughters of Hollow
Horn Bear are believed to be on their
way to Washington, and efforts are
being made by the commissioner oi
Indian affairs to intercept them, in or­
der that they may join the body on
its homeward trip.
It is said to be probable that Chief
Plenty Coups, a Crow, will be select­
ed to take Hollow Horn Bear's place
as leader of the Indian delegaton now
in ths city. Robert Yellow Tail, also
blues—grays in plain and mixtures-very
serviceable and very stylish suits
a Crow Indian, will be selected to as­
sist liiai, it is believed.
A committee of the delegation, com­
posed of J. J. Esties, Sioux Robert J.
Hamilton, Blackfoot Robert Yellow
Tail and Chief Plenty Coups, drew up
a memorial on the deatli of Chier
Hollow Horn Bear, which was adopt­
ed.

It follows:
"Chief Hollow Horn Bear Is gone,
but his memory is cherished by the
delegates of the many tribes, not
alone because lie wus an Indian, but
because lie remained in Washington
