"''"-J. fcr* Fire Bugs At Mobridgt Id a series of incendiary fires at Mobridge. the Missouri river town, during the last three days one hu man life was lost, eight heat) of horses were burned to death aud five business houses destroyed, en tailing a *50,000. I he first lire was Wednesday afternoon, this being a tailor shop on Third street, the property loss being small. That night at mid night the Peter Frazier livery barn was burned to the ground and it was in this fire that a man, name unknown, lost his life. Eight head of horses were also burned in this fire. Yesterday (Thursday) noon the Nicewonger and the Nichols & Cottrell saloon buildings and the Steele restaurant were burned, the Mendenhall saloon building and the Bulletin printing office being badly scorched. In the last fire the fire depart ment from Selby, twenty-six miles east, was brought to the burning town on a special train in twenty five minutes and aided the local department in saving the east side of the main street, which for a time seemed doomed to destruc tion. Mobridge has for a year or more been in the throes of a saloon fight, but the acts of the incen diary cannot be charged to this, it is said, because the two saloon buildings that were burned belong ed to opposing factions. Marion Harland and Dame Curtsey For more than half a century Marion Harland has been writing on housewifely themes and an swering the questions of women in a clear and kindly way that has made her name beloved from one end of the land to the other. Many who read her cheery and helpful page every week in The! Sunday Chicago Record• Herald i have no idea that she is 78 years old, for she still writes with all the vigor and discernment of a woman of half her years. Huge as the task may seem, she gives her personal attention to the vast correspondence that her position of expert advisor on household topics involves, and every question is answered directly by her. No other department of The Sunday Record-Herald is more universally popular than hers. Another department that pushes it closely, however is Dame Curtr sey V'Novelties in Entertainment,** which has been hailed with joy by thousands of hostesses who feel the need of new ideas. Dame Curtsey, whose real name is Ellye Howell Glover, seems to have a genius for inventing new schemes for decorations, menus, games and all the details that lend zest to dinners and entertainments. She also answers questions per taining to etiquette and good taste, and otherwise furnishes just the information so often sought vainly by women. When it is added that the. Sunday Magazine of The Record Herald is full of good stories and articles as interesting to women as to men, it is easy to see why that paper is the favorite among women. Is It Fair? Did you ever send away for an advertised special value in lumber on sash and doors and find on re ceipt of the goods that the mail or der house bad "forgot" some of the essentials? Did you send away for the balance or did you go to the local lumber dealer to get what was missing! Did you ever solicit a contribution for charity from some land promotion comp any a thousand miles away or from a mail order house in Chica go, New York or San Francisco? If you have tried it you know it won't work. But you don't hesi tate to go after the real estate man, the grocer, the hardware dealer or the lumberman here at home when you have some little money rais ing scheme to put through. And generally they "coma without a murmur. In other words do you play fair with your friend, the local business man? Or do you use him as a convenience and send your money and your real trade elsewhere property loss of close to adds to the wealth of the comraun The officers have arrest- 'ty. Every dollar you send away ed a man who, it is charged, de clared he would burn down the town. Every dollar you spend at home detracts from it. If^you are im bued with local as well as nation al patriotism you will keep your money at home in every case where you can get as great value here as elsewhere. Give our business men a chance. Midland Mail: Another meet ing of the business men was held Saturday evening to talk over mat ters pertaining to the coming cele bration. The Philip Cornet band has been engaged for the occasion, there will be a parade, Hon. Alvin Waggoner will deliver the oration, there will be two ball games Capa vs. Midland and Philip vs. Belvidere. In addition there will be various other sports and amuse ments, the festivities to close with a grand dance in the opera house at night. The prospects are good for a most enjoyable occasion. Everybody is invited to come and celebrate with us. Warrant Call Stanley County Gen.
