Sleeper are guests from Mohall at the Dacotah. This morning with the leaving of Mrs. A. C. Rea and her daughters, Misses Hazel and Lillian to their new home at Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Grand Forks looses another one of the old families so much identified with the early growth and prosperity of the city. Mrs. Rea's husband, the late Mr. Raa, came here with his family over twenty years ago and was .well known throughout the state as "Rea the tea man." After his death some years ago the family continued their residence here until now. The girls have grown to womanhood here and have been great favorites socially and with their estimable mother will be much missed by a large circle of friends, who will send with them to their new home regrets for their ab sence from here, but wishes for pros perity and happiness in their new home. A HOME AS AS IXVESTMKNT. The home-owning spirit is becoming prevalent in Grand Forks. Men who had been paying rent for years and years have suddenly become im pressed with the advantages of own ing a home of their own. It. is a good Investment, if It did not have its other advantages. As to its advantages as an invest ment. one case Grand Forks can be cited as an illustration, though thera are peril rips hundreds. A young man pi'.rr'.iased a home on the first o£ Janiir.vy last. For years of his married life Tie had been scratching to meet the landlord on the first, of each month. He bought his home 'on the installment plan, paying down a very small sum, and for the past nine months lias been paying out about $25 monthly on the installment notes. Altogether, count ing the first payment and the monthly notes, he has paid out less than $350. Recently lie has had more than one offer of $500 for his equity in the place. In other words his $350 has increased to $500 in nine months and he has had his rent free. It is duty a man owes to himself and h!s family to own a home, and it is about the only thing in life a man can figure on using and enjoying and still get his money back. A lot well bought, in a good location and Improved with a modern house of sensible ar chitecture, even with assessments and Almost Nothing TO PAY DOWN!

Victor Talking Machine Records taxes to pay. Is seldom sold at a loss to the owner, and when the pleasure of its use Is added to the selling price most residences are sold at a decided profit. That which produces the most happiness and comfort is the thing to be first considered, and viewed In the light probably no investment pays bet ter dividends than a home suitable to the Income of Its owner. The spirit, of home-buying is grow ing active in Grand Forks. It has affected all classes and conditions of men and the result is shown in the lively market for residence property. One reason for this may be that people are "getting wise" to the fact that In no other city of prominence in the world Is residence property so cheap as it is in this city. Another important factor is the good which Im provement clubs and companies are doing in all sections of the city in beantifylng the waste places and en couraging civic pride. When a man living on a slovenly kept street sees a neighboring street Improved and made attractive by its residents, he is apt to suggest the same plan to the house owners along his own thorough fare, and the general result is of in calculable benefit to the city at large. & S 4 4 $•$ $ $• 4, KW YORK FIRES. 't$'SSjJiis,s|s3$ s, s. .fe* Of the 7,750 fires In Manhattan, The Bronx and Richmond reported in 1905 the causes of 2,681 were not ascertain ed. and these fires did $4,716,277 of the total damage, which was estimated at $5,271,955. In othor words the author ities were able to loarn the causes of the little blazes, but of the others they remain in ignorance. Only twentj three fires, with a total looss of $4,440, were put down to inciendiarism, and fifty-seven persons were arrested for arson, some of them for crimes com mitted before thri beginning of the year. The arson account shows that in the year eight persons were con victed and sentenced, two were con victed and released under suspension of sentence, and four pleaded guilty and were sentenced. Thirty-six per sons accused of this crime were dis missed from custody by judges, three were acquitted by juries, one the grand jury refused to indict, and one insane prisoner was committed to an asylum. Carelessness in the use of matches was responsible for 757 fires, with a damage account of $71,850. Heat from stovss, furnaces and steam pipes was charged with 444 fires, the losses front which amounted to $90,325. Cliimnev fires and those caused by heat, froiii defective flues are next on the list—in number 439. They did $14,635 dam age, or $10,000 less than the 404 fires that were caused by carelessness in the use of cigars, cigarettes and popes. Defective insulation of electric ap paratus caused seventy-five fires, do ing $72,812 damage. Only four fires were caused by the use of kerosene in starting stove fires, and the damage they did is put down as nothing. Two hundred and forty four of the calls for the lire department were due to chil dren playing with matches or fire, and the loss from this source was $18,297. The catalogue of causes includes such entries as these: "Alcohol, tar, pitch, gum, oil, paints, etc.. igniting woodwork, etc.: sparks or heat from bonfires, brush fires, rub bish fires, etc.: carelessness in the use of candles, tapers, etc., combustion or explosion of chemicals ignition of Christmas trees fireworks friction of or sparks from machinery negligence in fumigating escaping and ignited illuminating gas: gaslight, in contact 35 60 .$1.00 CASH OR MONTHLY PAYMENTS wtih curtains, falling, upsetting, ex plosion of and heat from kerosene, gasolene, alcohol, lamps lightning slacking of lime malicious mischief matches, gnawed by rats or mice sparks from chimneys, stoves, stove pipes, etc. sparks from locomotives, engines, etc. sparks from other fires hot coals falling from stoves, furnaces, grates spontaneous comubstion or oily rags, etc. carelessness in thaw ing frozen water and other pipes." The fire marshall endeavors to learn the real cause of ever yflre. The po lice and firemen are called on to assist In this work. One explanation of the inability of the authorities to learn the causes of the great fires is the com plete destruction of all evidence within the burned area. Only In small fireo is it possible to make effective exam ination of the surroundings of the blaze. The great fires remain mys teries, and as long as they do It is Improbable that a material reduction in the fire loss can be brought about. THICKS OF SMI'CiULEKS. Because tin city or Paris exacts a duty of nearly S6 cents a quart on alcohol brought within its limits there has arisen a class of professional smugglers who resort to all manner of ingenious tricks to get the precious fluid past the officers at the barriers without paying duty. For several months smugglers dlsgi'i id as stone masons carried wooden beams thorough the gates without, attracting the attention of the officers on guard. One day just as the last man of the squad passed the barrier with a cheery Bonjour, comrades," he stumbled over a stone and fell headlong. Fear ing that the man was hurt, an official darted forward to help him to his feet. The fallen man jumped up and made off. leaving the bean behind him. Moreover, his companions took to their heels. The reason for their flight was soon plain. From one end of the beam there cozed a thin stream of alcohol. The beam was hollow. A successful type of smuggler is a smartly diessed man of leisure. Un der his spotless waistcoat and white shirt he carries an India rubber plast ron brimful of alcohol. Sometimes the india rubber receptacle is re placed by one of tin. Even a tall silk hat has been used to conceal the heavily taxed fluid. A smuggler of the same class has been known to carry an innocent-looking portfolio which contained not papers but al cohol. A fashionably dressed wo man has carried enough alcohol un der her skirts to stock a small saloon. This class of smuggler is very difficult to catch. Double-bottomed bottles and other vessels are common contrivances of smugglers. In order not to awaken suspicion they are usually filled with some beverage, beer or wine, and this is duly declared by the man in charge of the vehicle in which they are carried. At the present time, how ever, the officers are never deceived by the double-bottomed bottles nor, for that matter, by the hollow horse col lar, which at one time was a favorite dodge of the alcohol smuggler. During a period of over six months the customs employes at the various barriers of Paris saw two men pass before their offices carrying a very fine funeral wreath. Naturally they never asked for duty on such an article as that. The wreath contained nearly forty quarts of alcohol. The smugglers took every precaution against discovery, never passing through the same barrier twice run ning, but the trick was'discovered at last by an inquistive officer. The lines represented here are in daily use in thousands of American homes. Can you ask for a better testi monial of their reliability? YOU CAN WISH FOR NOTHING BETTER You Can Buy Right O.

"Kid" Curry is alive and at his old practices. Th New York Herald says Curry withthree others of his kind, Is holding up the Argentine republic. His present aides are Harry Longbaugh, alias "The Sun Dance Kid," Mrs. Harry Ixngbaugh, and "Butch" Cassidy. Har vey I^ogan ("Kid") Curry, Longbaugh and Cassidy have operated throughout the west. These men and Bill Caver, now dead, and Ben Kllpatrick, now in the Ohio penitentiary serving a term of 15 years, were for years active in Wyoming, Utah, Colorado and Mon tana. It is generally believed that Cassidy died near the Hole-in-the-Wall country In Montana a few years ago and Is buried there. The news furnished the New York Herald is that he is alive and as active as ever will be news, indeed, throughout the west. Those who remember "Kid" Curry and oth ers of Cassidy's "gang" will be also interested in learning that a few of them are still alive. Under the heading. "Yankee Desper adoes are Holding Up the Argentine Republic." the New York Herald says Cassidy, Longbaugh, Mrs. Longbaugh and Harvey Logan have been perform ing startling stunts in the hold-up line in that country. One exploit was a hotel hold-up turned last March in Villa Mercedes, In the province of San Luis. While one of the horsemen watched outside three entered the hotel office and secured between $15, 000 and $20,000. One man covered the clerk on duty with a revolver while the other two gathered the loose cash and valuables. Before they had com pleted this work the manager of the hotel entered the office and. for his intrusion, was shot through the head. The three men then mounted their horses and the quartette was out of sight before the little town had re- a- LIMITED CTBREXCY. A Proposal of Far-Reaching Im. port Made by I*. S. Treasurer, $ Q, Q. A notable event of recent occur rence and a notable speech connected with it seems to have escaped the watchful eyes of the Eastern press oorrespunnents. The annual meet ing of the American Institute of Bank Clerks was held early in the present month at Atlantic City, and the secre tary of the treasury, Mr. Shaw, was booked to deliver the principal speech of the occasion. He was too busy, however, with the preparation of his reply to .Mr. Bryan to attend, and sent a substitute in tha person of Charles H. Treat. United States treasurer. It is tolerably cer tain that Mr. Treat did not air any of his individual views on such an occasion, and under such circum stances. The fact that he spoke as the representative of the Roosevelt, ad ministration gives large significance to his utterances, which wculd. under any circumstances, have been most in teresting. His subject was currency famines, and the remedy which he proposed was that the government THE HOUSE OF MUSIC yiHE WORLD'S BEST PIANOS, ORGANS and MUSICAL SUPPLIES, represented in Grand Forks by GRAND FORKS' GREATEST MUSIC HOUSE.

Similar deeds have thrown the south ern republic into a fit of fear and made the mysterious quartette several thou sand dollars richer. Color is added to this story by the announcement that one of the desper adoes Is a woman, a pretty little wo man, 26 years old, with a gracefully girlish figure, flashing eyes, regular features, brilliant white teeth and a mass of wavy hear. She is supposed to be Longbaugh's wife, but nothing is known of her pedigree or early life. It was she who held the horses in front of the Vile Mercedes hotel while her three companions performed the nasty work inside. She was dressed in men's clothes. The authorities of the southern re public are greatly excited by the out rages being committed with persist ent frequency by the quartette. In looking through old police documents they found a notification from the Pin kerton National Detective agency that a band of North American train and bank robbers had landed in Buenos Ayres in 1901 and had taken up a permanent residence in the remote in terior. This gang comprised Cassidv, Longbaugh and the latter's wife. These were joined later by Harvey Logan. After touching at Buenos Ayres the original trio took a steamer for Bahia Blanca, and from this point proceeded to an inland point called Rawson. They then rode mules to an almost inaccessible table land in the province of Chibute. Here they are supposed to have made their home, raising cattle and farming. For rea sons known to them alone they have again started their operations.

In Brussels, Malines and other Bel gian towns a novel method of not only getting rid of smoke but turning it to good account has recently been em ployed. The smoke is driven by a ven tilating fan into a filter filled with porous material, over which a con tinuous stream of petroleum, benzine, alcohol or some liquid hydrocarbon flows. The result is that the smoke is entirely suppressed, while the filter yields a gas of great heating power, which can be used for domestic pur poses and for driving gas engines. The filtering material itself also be comes a good combustible during the process.
