MINUTES. We don't ask yoa to accept this statement on the bare assertion,
bat we do ask—and extend to every one in this community—a cordial invi
tation to be in attendance at our store any day next week from
10:00 a* m. to 5:00 p. m.
and see this wonderful baking performance with your own eyes, have a dainty

cooking wonder yoa can readily see from its construction why this is true.
MAJESTIC RANGES are entirely different from all other cooking appa
ratus. Will not clog with ashes and clinkers, allow smoke and soot to escape
into the kitchen, crack or break, or subject yoa to the expense and annoyance
of every other cooking apparatus.

50 per cent heavier throughout than any other range. Flues lined with pure

The Chautauqua.
The North Dakota Chautauqua
assembly from year to year can be
made a source of great revenue to
every commercial interest in the
city of Devils Lake.
A divinity tbat shapes all ends
has placed in the midst of. the
treeless plains of a vastt erritory a
large body of saliniferous water, ,a
daily plunge in which not only
relieves that tired feeling from the
over-wrought system, but often
cures mtiny chronic ailments that
man is heir to. Upon the beauti
ful graSB-covered shores of this'
veritable fountain of perpetual
youth stand stately trees cfothejd
in luxuriant foliage. The spot
where the Chautauqua assembly
is annually held seems to have
been created by an all-wise provi
dence especially for the purposes
for which it is now used. Human
hands cannot add to its entrancing
natural beauty, and nothing isleft
for man to do but to call attention
of the weary toiler to what nature
here has done for his mental and
physical rejuvenescence in this
modern elysium of the gods.
Every citizen of Devils Lake
points with pride to this wonder
ful beauty spot. All North Da
kotans are justly proud of it—
proud that in this giant young
state,
BO

rich in soil and many
natural resources, it has a summer
resort unsurpassed by any other
in the country—barring no loca
lity. In fact no other summer
resort in the United States can
boast of both beauty of scenery
and' the medicinal qualities of its
waters as can matchless Devils
Lake. If this be correct, it stands
to reason the only thing requirec.
to bring thousands of people here
annually who have never come be
fore is to tell the truth about the
beauties that nature with such a
lavish hand has fixed here perma
nently. Advertise and advertise
extensively. One thousand dol
lars judiciously expended along
this line will bring 10,000 people
from all parts of the country.
Stupendous preparations are
now being made to accomodate vis
iters during the assembly. These
preparations are in the nature
permanent improvements,and with
out any additional expense the lake
could be advertised as a summer
resort and hundreds of people be
induced to remain on the grounds
for months after the Chautauqua
assembly closes. The managers
should not lose sight of the fact
that Devils Lake is an ideal sum
mer resort, with better accomo
dations for an all-summer outing
than most places of like character
in the country.
A Hold Up.
Abont noon yesterday John
Barton of Niagara, while driving
to Michigan to deposit a sum of
money in the bank there, was held
up two miles north of Michigan
and robbed of $800 and his watch
by two rough looking men, one
tall, medium sized, with smooth
face and the other a short, heavy
set man with dark mustache.
Both robbers had bicycles and
went east after committing the
robbery. As soon as Mr. Barton
reached Michigan the police there
began to search for the robbers,
but it is feared that they may es
cape, as the bicycles afford them
excellent means of riding. All
trains are being closely watched
for them. Mr. Barton is a highly
respected young man and has been
in the mercantile business in
Niagara for a number of years
and only recenlty sold out his
business. It was a portion of the
amount of this sale of which he
was robbed. Mr. Barton is not
reported to have been injured.—
Grand Forks Herald.
Mr. Barton was here Wednes
day, the guest of his uncle, Tom
Miller. He says the men who
held him up were about the tough
est looking creaturers he ever saw.
As he approached the swamp
where the hold up occurred, the
men rose from the tall grass. One
caught the horse by the'bridle
while the other with a revolver to
Barton's head commanded him to
hold up hiB hands. Up went Bar
ton's hands and a second later the
buttons on his vest were flying in
all directions, and the fat purse in
the inside pocket was quickly
transferred to the greasy hand of
the robber. The rough command
to "get to h—1 out of here, quick!"
was then given, and Barton did
not linger long in that vicinity.
The men did not have bicycles
the Herald states. A reward
of $200 is offered for the capture
bt the criminals and everybody in
hat neighborhood is out for the
irize, The amount of' money in
!he pocket-book was I860—a pret
good haul for hoboes.

Subterranean River.
Grand Forks, N. D., May 21.
—A subterranean river has been
discovered beneath the farm of
O. J. Solberg, one mile west of
Reynolds. An eighteen-inch w611
was being bored, and when the
depth of eighty feet had been
reached thje tools suddenly drop
ped, and aloud roaring sound was
heard, which frightened the work
men and caused them to fly from
the spot. It was found that a
moving body of water, ten feet
deep, had been struck.
A pail attached to a rope let
down was carried swiftly in a
southeasterly direction. Light
thrown down by a mirror showed
a swiftly moving current. The
roaring of the stream can be
plainly heard by passers by on the
highway, some distance away.—

Devils Lake.
In a well written article on
Ramsey county, the Chautauqua
and the lake, B. S. Brokke has
this to say in the Northwest Maga
zine concerning the city.
I Km speaking now of the county
seat of Ramsey eouuty—the metropo
lis of the far-famed Devils Lake
Country. The town has a population
of 2,500, is snugly situated on the north
shore of Devils Lake, and is sur
rounded by some of the best farming
country in the Northwest. The streets
are broad and well kept, and the side
walks, built all over the city, are main
tained in good condition. MaDy new
buildings have recently been erected
in both business and residence dis
tricts, an indication of steady growth
and healthful expansion. A number
of the business blocks are constructed
of briok, and some of the new dwelling
houses are so thoroughly elegant and
modern that they would not look out
of place in the finest residence streets
ot our larger cities.
Devils Lake is lighted with elec
trioity, has one of the largest laud
offices in the state, is the seat of the
state school for deaf people, and is on
the lookout for any other good thing
it can get. An artesian well, yielding
2,500 barrels Jaily, supplies the place
with water and furnishes protection
against fire there are good schools
and churches, all the various secret
orders and societies, and social advan
tages equal to those of any other com
munity of the same population. The
business men are wide-awake, always
looking ahead, and taking hold of any
enterprise that can help build up the
town. It is one of the best business
centers in North Dakota, and as a
place of residence it cannot be sur
passed. It has a magnificent section
of country to draw upon, its geographi
cal location is favorable, and there is
no reason why it should not double its
present population within three years'
time.
This ad counts, girls.

An Apron Worth $50,000.
There has recently come to light
an apron—probably the most
exquisite example of needlework
extant—that busied the fingers of
the hapless Mary, Queen of Scots,
during her long imprisonment, and
served to divert her mind from
her impending doom at the block.
The fallen sovereigns-all hope
gone—centred her interest upon
it during the latter part of her
long confinement, and created the
masterpiece of needlework. Jnst
before her execution she secreted
her prized apron under the lining
of one of her robes which kept her
treasure safe until recently the
garment
ripped apart. Its
history has since been fully
authenticated through letters
written by the ill-starred Queen to
a friendly ambassador at Paris
who smuggled the materials ont of
which it was wrought into her
dungeon. By strange chance the
apron came into the possession of
an American, who has refused
$50,000 for it, and has also declined
$5,000 for the privilege of unravel
ing a single stitch to learn its
secret, which is a mystery to all
the experts. Its owner has con
sented, however, to its repro
duction in large size in the June
Ladies' Home Journal.
If sweet young widows want to
"ketch" some sweet-heart in the
sunny tangles of their golden
curls, they'd better take Bocky
Mountain Tea. Great medicine.
