ft v*. V*. "j I mi 1 U* In conversation with Mayor Roach the other day. the Inde pendent ir.an wai-. told that in a short time, the city would have to be bonded in order to build a suitable city hall and city ja.il. *Mr. Roach realizes that the' city is ih debt and lias'not many sources of revenue but does rrot know when therewoiild ever be a better time to raise the money to build such a building. A good stone or brick building would last as long as any of the pres ent inhabitants of Minot, will live. Whenever we have a, dan gerous city prisoner, the chief of police has to stand guard out side the jail to keep the miscre ant in, or the wrongdoer has to be taken to the county jail. The CONDITIONS AS THEY ARE IN MINOT Minot at the present time is having a seige with two dreaded diseases, scarlet lever and small pox. In both instances, the diseases are not very severe, but in. the mildest cases, they are dangerous. Whenever either of these diseases is noticeable, the health officer should be notified at once and the places should be 'quarantined strictly. The Inde pendent understands that there have been numerous cases in the -city which were not reported to the health officer at all, in order to keep off quarantine. This is a very poor }K)licy and when practiced, it is impossible to keep down the disease. It may lie posxil »1e thiit, the Minot schools will have to be closed if the di eases spread much faster. There ,is absolutely no danger for those coming to this city to trade. A Few of 'The Things Which Should be Remedied to Make This a Well Appoint ed City—The Building of a New City Jail Second-National Bank of Minot has been and now is the place of We are iu the center of a fine agricultural and grazing district. The land office is located here and there are yet thousands of acres of government, land which can be filed on. The merchants sell goods cheaper and we have abetter se lection than any city in this part of the state. There are two railroads, the G. N. and the Soo which inter sect here, making this the great center for trading in the western part of the state. Minot is the county seat of Ward county which will not be divided for years to come. The Minot Schools are classed with the best in the state. Many have moved here purposely that their children mightgain an edu cation. The county hospital is drawing patients from all parts of the: northwest and will soon be enT larged. The work which is being done by this institution is ex cellent. Judge Paid a has his chambers here for the Eighth judicial dis jtrict. I The Great Northern round house is located here and other i#flees are soon to be moved to Minot. ,,v -1.4 is55®?.^ 'W' i'" rp igggMTT""— 1 Imminent-Greater Care Should be Taken in Quarantining Against Diseases-Busi ness Men's League Should be Established to Work For Best Interests of Gty* meeting for the members of the city council, but it is not the proper place. Citizens do not feel free to attend the meeting on that account. We understand that the oil tanks belonging to the Standard Oil Company will not be moved from their present location near the Great Northern, this winter, but arrangements are being made to locate them near the Soo de- fndependentspring. WHY MINOT WILL BE THE LARGEST AND BEST CITY. ot in the Again the protests against this, on account of the great danger from fire, which the city would be.subjected to. Now is the time to enter a protest and bi ing the matter before the city council. Don't wait till after the tanks are moved to register your kick. The new railroad from Gran ville to Mohall has naturally cut off some trade which otherwise would have to come to "Minot. But the merchants of thin city can make special inducements to the people living in that part of the conn try to cause them r,o drive a little farther to come here to trade and market their produce. And the merchants are doing it every day and the number of people from that nor thern country who each day drive to Minot to trade, is large. We are offering the farmers more for their eggs, butter and other farm produce and we are giving the'goods cheaper. Instead of going backwards, Minot is for ging* ahead every day and we are distined to have the best city in the state. The Minot Business College brings in many students and several families. The Minot Milling Co. is doing much for the city. It draws trade for the town. The Grand Forks Mercantile Co.. makes this a center for all kinds of goods used in the stores throughout the northwest. We have no "knockers" here. There is not a man, woman or child who will not stand up for the city. Our mayor is alive to the best interests of the city. The alder men also are doing what they can to get the city out of debt. The coal industry is no small one. This is the center for a big trade in lignite coal. The brick yard next summer will do something for Minot. Xaafc but not least—The news papers of Minot never let achance go by to say a good word for the beet city in the state... v— Five Years in Advance. r* '^JThe lndependent has one read er' John Borgerson, alias Happ 'JdOk', jyho has paid for his paper Ave years in advance. Jack be Kfcves the Independent will last ,jtihat long and so do we, if the subscribers keep on coming in that fashion. 1 ife Doctor Not to Blame Dr. Theilen, the Carpio physi cian, takes exception to the arti cle published in last week's Inde pendent regarding the freezing of Andrew Anderson's hands. The doctor says he did everything he could for the man, sitting up half the night with him. Ander son certainly was in bad shape before taken to Dr. Theilen who undoubtedly did everything he could for his patient. The Inde pendent simply stated what An derson told the reporter. Dr. Theilen states that Anderson did not get drunk in a blind pig at Carpio but he and a partner bought eighty pints of booze and tried to drink it all at the part ner's house. They failed, but An derson was laid out and nearly froze to death. The Independent meant in no way to harm the re putation of Dr. Theilen, who is doing much for the. people of Carpio. From time to time how ever patients are forced onto the hospital authorities and the county has to pay the expense. The Iudependent still believes that the man should have Lteen kept at Carpio where he could have received as good attention as he could get at Minot. Ander son's hands are in bad shape, but he may not lose more than a few of his fingers. Fireman's Ball. The Fireman's Ball at the Opera House Thanksgiving night was a brilliant success and the boys cleared about $100. The dance was managed in admirable shape and everyone had a good time dancing un' il 2 in the morn ing. C. B. Tibbetts made him self famous as caller. Fully 100 couples attended. In the after noon the Firemen in their new uniforms paraded the streets headed by the Minot band. Jas. Scofield mounted on a beautiful horse headed the procession. The company will buy apparatus with the proceeds. The Lord's Prayer Rev. Edgar Jones began a series of eight sermons at the Methodist church Sunday even ing on the Lord's Prayer. The sermon Sunday evening was on the Christian's Language. A large and appreciative crowd at tended. The following are the subjects for the remaining num bers: The Christian's Homestead The Christian's Law, The Chris tian's Food, The Christian's Charter, The Christian's Gym nasium, The Christian's Anta gonist, The Christian's Anthem. Highschool Search Light The high school students are endeavoring to start their school paper, the High School Search Light again this year. They would make it a monthly maga zine, in pamphlet form. They are now soliciting adds among the business men The students made a success of the undertak ing last year and if the business men are liberal enough will do so again this yeitr.

They are at home at 242 La Salle Ave. Mr. MiUer formerly worked in the printing offiices of Minot but is now engaged in the manufac ture of printer's glue in Chicago. Miss Anderson also lived in Mi not where she taught music for several year. The Independent joins hundreds of friends in this city in extending best wishes. Eugene A. Steete, principal of schools at Kalispoll. Mont., came to Minot Tuesday and met Mrs. Lillian D. Jones, of St. I'anl, and they were married by Rev. (J. W. Harris at the Presbyterian par sonage.

Good for Forgetful People. A French postal clerk has evolved simple apparatus for dispensing with the qostaige stamp and enabling any one to get his letter franked after office hours. The apparatus can be affixed to any pillar box a coin is dropped into a slot, the corner of the letter is inserted, and the machine stamps the envelope with the amount paid. All you have to do, then, is to drop the letter into the pillar box for collection. Herreshoff Smashed the Plate.

The pomegranate is priestly the grape is royal the or ange is luxurious the peach and pear are plutocratic, but the apple belongs to the populace. It is symbolic of the country store and the corner grocery. It breathes the free spirit of the Amer ican township and village. It has a flavor of old New England and yet a pungency as of the South and the mid dle West. It is mild, palatable, nour ishing and promotive of good fellow ship and long life.—Atlanta Journal. t« "G»l Iiik" The extremes to which some people will go for revenge have seldom bees better demonstrated than in the cim of two rival shipowners in the north of England some years ago. The manager of a local colliery Invited tenders for the conveyance of large quantities of coal to America, and when the contract was given to one shipowner the other immediately set to work to wreak vengeance. He first approached the owners of the colliery and offered to carry the coal across the Atlantic for a shillhag a ton lessithan cost price, and as tfcta effected considerable saving to the col liery, the proprietors countermanded the former contract and closed with nd otter. The shipowner was it to suffer a loss tor five y«us to order to spite his rival, and at tho of that time he capitulated, IW had coat hli ft 3*V" NOV. 1903. Ladies Coats and Jackets.

One automobile acted as pilot to the competing car, in order that the speed, which was ap proximately thirty miles an hour, might be gauged, and as the competing car flew through the flour two cam eras recorded the cloud of "dust." The lesion taught by the dust trial9 was that the lower and more cumber some the gear and boxes under the body of the car the greater is the dust raised. Which Was the Corrupter? There is a family that has recently had presented to it a very brilliant parrot that is a great talker. Tho bird was presented to the family by a sea captain, and as a gift it is great ly prized. But lately it has become a thorn in the side of the lady of tho house, who has a bright little son, 7 years old. The other day she said to a neighbor: "I am afraid we shall have to get rid of that parrot—that is, as soon as 1 am sure of one thing." "What is that?" ashed the neighbor. "Whether Johnny is corrupting the parrot or the parrot is corrupting Johnny." Australian Women Voters.

Helped or They WI0 Starve TUt WHitcr- The Towner County Democrat printed an article recently *u cerniiig the pitiable condition of the Indians of the Turtle mount ains who have had their lands taken from them by the white settlers. The tribe of Indians there are known as the Jtising Sun trile with old Rising Smt for chief. He is 90 years old and his wife is 02. A few years ago these Indians lived by hunting and fishing, hut the hunting has about played out. They dare not cut a stick of wood for fear of being arrestee!. Old Rising Sun himself, who was agricul turally inclined, had cleared and broken ten acres, but now finds a white man's cabin on the land. Eighteen years ago the old chief had eighteen head of cattle when he and his band retreated to the mountains, hut the last calf was stolen the other day. There are only twelve ponies in the tribe and the pony of the old chief was stolen the other day by a white man. The Indian girls who have always been vir tuous. have been compiled to give up their virtue unto the cruel white man an order to get enough tv eat and wear. About one-fourth of the tribe is self sup porting while the others will have to le helped this winter or freeze. Last wintM- the Indians hauled a littlejwood to meke out an ex istence.. There are 1W Indians in the tribe. The government gives them of a pound of flour and of a pound of pork a day. Letter to The Public Saturday Dec. 12, the Epwortli League will give tlie second of the series of their lecture course. At the first entertainment some dissatisfaction was expressed owing to the change of 10 and 25 cents extra for reserved seats. We wish to state that a charge of 10 cents will be made to per sons holding season tickets and 25 cents to persons holding 50 cents tickets purchased of solici tors for the choice of seats., but seats will be furnished to all without extra charge. This charge is made to help defray expenses of the evening, and Ls not a, grrait, a,s has been accused. This is customary everywhere, where the lecture course tickets are sold and must be made if the societies come out clear. When you .consider that the League has offered you the bal ance of the eourse, for 1, or H3% cents per .entertainment, you will see that no injustice is done you in this extra charge, or if you consider the nature of the entertainments, the price charged you for the full eourse, no injust ice has been placed upon you. A. F. Bacon. t2. Keenan Bound Over Mrs. G. A. Bissell has returned from Grand Forks where she at tended the hearing of John Keen an changed with killing his part ner, W. M. Murtah. Keenan has been bound over to the next term of court. Mrs. Bissell is perhaps the best witness for the state, and the one who will cause the conviction of Keenan if he is convicted. Aftirtah was found dead at his home with a bullet hole in 0is head. At first it was thotthathe committed suicide but no powder marks could be found and the head was not singed. Besides there are good reasons to believe that Keenan wanted Murtah out of the way. The only one who saw Keenan enter and leave the Murtah home was Mrs. Bissell, wife of electrician.

I THE A LADY SAID For Sale Only By Leland Hotel Druggist, AYS UMBER LAND IS POOR Lnryer Friend Advisee C. A. Stiles Mt to C*mc to Wenatchee, Wasfe., to Take-up TMfcer Claim. C. A. Ktiles received a letter from a lawyer friend who reside near Wauatchee, Waah.. saying that hundreds of people were coming tliere froni the east look ing for timber claims who were getting badly fooled. He stated that there are no claims to be secured within fctity miles of Wenatcliee and they were away back in the mountains away from railroads and civilisation. The land is not selling for more than five dollars an aere and they are having a time to get that much. Much of the timber land is in the government reserve and therefore cannot be filed on. Even if the land is filed on, it must be shown that it is more valuable for timber and stone than for farming purjxses and after you have filed on the land, it can be-taken away from you if it can be shown that it is more valuable for farming. Govern ment locators will locate you for fifty dollars, so it is not necessary to pay some grafter in the east a hundred or more dollars to file you. Who Owns Six Points?

TIRED OF PAYING FREIGHT live three miles from Renville, Upon the Minot trail. I'm getting tired of paying freight, On everything but mail. My mail I get in bunches. From two to six days late. If I could get it regular, I'd gladly pay the freight. I've paid the freight on paper bags, And blotting paper too. I've paid the freight on postage stamp*, And threshbills overdue. I figured that the Mohall road, Would make a cheaper rate. But I must pull for Canada, Or keep on paying freight. I've paid the freight on kerosene, That wouldn't show no light. I've paid the freight on gasoline, And also on lignite. I'm burning home-made candles now. And never sit up late. If I had grown up daughters sure, I'd go broke paying freight. My wife went up to Renville, To buy some common thread. And when they said ten cents a spool, Of courne her face turned red. Mr. Freeman heaved a sigh, While Staub says "If you wait. I might make some reduction. When I figure up the freight." I went to pay my thresh bill At the Lansford First state bank: The note was three days overdue So he tilled another blank: And when I kicked on fifteen cents, For being three days late, Says Englebrecht, "Please don't forget. Those bank checks come by freight." I've paid sixty cents for pepper, And live cents a pound for salt. I paid express on two shipments, Of good old Duffy's malt, I called at the Great Northern, And got one empty crate. And then I swore I'd ship no more By express or by freight. I left my pony three days, At a third class livery barn If they had fed him plenty hay, I wouldn't cared a darn. It was the rankest holdup, That I ran against of late He taxed me just three dollars, So it must have been the freight. If I had to tight contests, Like others that know, I'd try another remedy That wouldn't act so slow: You sly old Mack, you've learned the knack, Of gobbling real estate: With nerve and bluff, you've made enough To pay the bloomin' freight. There's another man in Mohall, His actions I don't like. He'd better go a little slow, Or he'll go down the pike. I've heard a lot of people say If he don't change his gait, He'd wake up in new quarters Where he'd be through paying freight. I've paid the freight on threshing rigs That couldn't thresh wild hay: And I've paid for threshing flax The wind had blown away: Next fall I'll get myself a flail, Although they're out of date, I'll have a corner on the. wind, And also on the freight. Some grain men on the Mohall branch, Have made the farmers sore If they had given honest weight We wouldn't make a roar They jiay starvation prices. Then soak you on the weight: Besides they dock you just enough To pay Jim Iiill the freight. I have paid the freight on wrapping twine, And wrappers on cigars. I paid the ireight on Minot Hour That never saw the cars. When a North Dakota business man, Raps at the Golden Gate, St. Peter will say. "Go tother way, You've tampered with the freight." So now I'm off for Canada, Where freight is not so high. I'm very, very sorry, To bid Jim Hill good bye. I hope that other Moss backs Will this subject agitate Until they get another road, That will ieduce the freight. J.

A medical writer in the Frankfurter Zeitnng gives some curious particulars about the white lines which cross fin ger nails. These are signs of disturb ance In the organism at the time they were formed. They often form during serious Illness. The proportion of normally consti tuted persons who have these lines on their finger nails Is from ten to 11 per cent, while 46 per cent of criminals have them, 47 per cent of the demi monde. 43 per cent of idiots, and SO per cent of lunatic*, Sufferers from melancholia show a large percentage, bat the largest percentage—75—la among those who are periodically dan* gerouc lunatics. The writer comes to the conclusion that these lines denote some degeneracy of the upper nervous system that they the not purely physical, but are c4n Meted with physical, moral, and Intel lectual change. Why Wear Colera. Did it ever occur to you that the laneb of colored ribbons you wear 1b your buttonhole—or pinned on your davss, if you are a girl—at commence ment, or at a baseball or football game, la really a flag? It tells to what class or school or college you belong, or which •f these, for the time, has your Interest aad sympathy. And for somewhat sim ilar reasons do nations wear their col ors. says St Nicholas. At first maybe It was to tell one another apart but after a while the colors—the flag—came to represent the nation itself and the way the .people acted toward the n% tlon'8 flag was supposed to show tMS way they felt toward the nation S, FATHER Fnr Coate Mitten* Duck Coat* Cape [Felt Bhoes Underwear W oolen Sox 4c Lot I Dressed Turkeys Cranberries Fresh Squash Bermuda Onions Mixed Nuts Bulk Olives Dill Tickles 20 Styles Queen Quality SHOES Are Shovn at The New York Store MINOT, N.

J21.1W .*1.00 at MODCL No.SU WHERE WORK IS A PLEASURE The Labor Problea ai Solved at The (beat Shoe Factory of the Thomai Q. Plaat Company In these days of strikes and lockouts •vhen it seems sometime^ as if the whole country were in the midst of industrial revolution, it is refreshing turn to the consideration of anot method of solution of the relations be tween employer and employed, as sue cessfully exemplified by the Thomas Plant Company at its great shoe factory in Boston. Lot it be clearly borne in mind tnat the chief cause of the present industrial conflicts is the disappearance of that old friendly relationship between master and men, which existed when the owner lived near his factory and went in and out daily among his workpeople. Today, in great industrial establish ments, such as personal relation is, per haps, no longer possible but there anotner way of "getting together," an other way of showing that friendly con sideration which makes for industrial peace -and the Thomas G. Plant Com pany hao evidently studied the problem and splendidly mastered the solution- It is only an elaboration of an old precept called the golden rule, but point of fact it is sound business eco nomics. The "Queen Quality" shoe factory not only the largest shoe factory in the world making women's line shoes, but it is probably the most advanced and progressive in its methods. Take, as a single feuturo, its profit sharing, sick and death relief and sav ing fund department, which is a model of organization. It operates along the lines of encouraging the workmen higher efforts. He receives special con siderations in proportion as he is frugal industrious, neat and constant at work In the final division of profits, in promo tions, in the matter of steady employ ment, and in all cases of discharge preference is given to the most deserv ing members of this department. The "Book of Regulations" is a model what such regulations should be, and is to be heartily commended to every em ployer of labor. to Take another instance. One of the most successful of the co-operative de partments is the recreation department. The gymnasium is very complete it in charge of one of the best professional instructors in the country there is also a woman instructor from the Boston Normal School of Gymnastics. The meth ods of class work are admirable. Sixty members can be drilled in evolutions on the floor at one time. Sixty baths are provided, controlled from a central point, with devices for gradation of temper ature of the water. All have separate dressing rooms. Gymnasium suits are dried in a large flume by the hot fresh air system. There ale four or five differ ent classes each evening. About one half of the 2800 employes are members of the gymnasium. The libraryand reading room is an other foature. It is in charge of a reg ular attendant librarian. It is open all times and is a branch of the public library of the city of Boston. The bowling alleys and billiard room for men, and the music, dance and rec reation rooms for women, need not be specially described. They are very pop ular with the employes. There is model lunch room, which supplies clean healthful food at the actual cost of its preparations. The company provides for its operatives two free beds at the Emer gency Hospital and all cases requiring surgical attention are sent there, with no cost to the individual. It provides at the factory a couch and a woman at tendant: any one taken sick on the premises is at once made comfortable, To begin with, the Thomas G. Plant Company realized that it was good business policy to help the employe to health: that only working people of healthy mind and body do good work and mind and body must play as well as work to be really vigorous. Hence the establishment of the gymnasium, recreation, lunch and reading rooms (devoting to the above a total floor area of 25000 square feet), and a system »f fresh air ventilation which changes the air throughout the building every 15 minutes: workrooms light and airy and a marvel of cleanliness. These are only outlines of some feat ures of the system in force at the "Queen Quality" shoe factory, but they reveal certain industrial possibilities which are worth considering. With im proved conditions comes industrial peace. A workman who knows when he is well off prefers not to strike: an em ployer who is making money prefers to keep things going smoo thly. This may be cold materialism, but it is common sense. Shoe factories have been no toriously the scenes of labor conflicts in the past:butthe relations of the Thomas G. Plant Company with its employer shows that it is possible to have vastly improved conditions in the shoe factories of New England. Stop Work on White's Barn. \V.

LODGING HOUSE COLLAPSES Lodgers are Dllturbcd Fron Their Thaaks- A fiviat Morning Dreams by the Fallhig^l fv a Brick Wall in the Nash Building Con 1tractor's Careless Work. Qolden Rate Store Damaged. Lodgers in Mr. Nash's lodging' house on south Main street were startled about six o'clock Thanks giving morning', and their fond dreams of roast turkey and cran berries were disturbed by the falling' of the wall beneath them. They got out of their beds excit edly, not stopping' to dress until they rail into the snowy icy street, with bed clothes about them. The great noise was that of the eight inch brick wall which having- lost its support, fell into the newly dug' basement. For some weeks Contractor lld vedson and force of men had been at work under the building- dig ging a basement. They had in tended lowering the floor of the two business houses which Mrs. Nash owns. The lodging rooms are located in the second story The dirt had been removed from the basement Waving nothing but a dirt wall to fsupport the heavy brick wall and the oon stant pressure made it give way. The crash caused^by the falling brick was awfulnmd the lodgers sustained a severe shock to their nervous systems. Mrs. ^Jash and Miss Malonev were in the upper rooms at the time of the crash, but luckily escaped unhurt. The floors of the room nearly gave way. and had they done so, a number of lives would have paid the penalty of a contractors poor judgment. As it was the floors sagged several feet. A large crowd gathered at the building and all davlongcurious on-lookers forced their way tt the edge of the ruins until Chiei of Police Kimball ordered them away and put up danger signals. .1. 1?.
