S. Rodning, who is before his people as candidate for treasurer of Williams county, was born in Xorway 1869. His childhood and youth were mostly spent in school.

He came directly to North Dakota and has lived in this state ever since. In order to make himself useful in the service of his adopted country he took up a college course in Minneapolis, and after that he spent one winter at the. University of Grand Forks, an ad is a teaching and farm work during summers. In 1897 he took up a homestead in Benson county, N. D.

When you have idle money, take It to the First National bank and they will pay you interest for it. To Buy "Advertised Things" is to Pay Less! A man who has to earn his living from one hour's work each day would have to charge more per hour than the man who worked eight hours a day. Reckoning time and service as a commodity, the man who sells but one hour a day of his time must make a larger margin of profit on the sale than the man who sells eight hours a day. Plain and obvious, of course. 'And yet no more plain and obvious than the merchant who makes one sale while another merchant makes eight sales is compelled to make a larger per-sale profit than his competitor.

The people who tell you that if a merchant advertises his customers have to pay for it overlook entirely the controlling economic principle of volume of sales. If you cast your lot with the merchant who advertises you will have practical assurance of cost protection. You will be one of eight buyers to divide the butden of profits, instead of carrying it alone. When you buy at a store where sales are not stimulated to a large volume each day by advertising, you pay, on your purchases, an obviously larger proportion of the store's necessary expenses. LOCALS Emil Dallenbach, of the Rawson hardware company, expects to move into his new house on Pious Hill the latter part of this week.

Miss Christine Steen to Ashland, Michigan. MAN GOES INSANE AND SHOOTS NEGRO IS ADJUDGED INSANE BY BOARD AND SENT TO HIS HONE TOWN, MA SON CITY, IOWA. George Watson, who came here to make some investments, became insane last Sunday morning and after shooting thl negro porter at the G. N. depot, was adjudged insane and sent to his home town, Mason City, Iowa, Tuesday morning in charge of Sheriff Nelson.

Watson, who is a traveling salesman, came to Williston Saturday but did not act unusual until Sunday morning when he went to the depot, and, in the belief that thieves were trying to rob him of $2,800 he had, asked the negro porter to hide him. The porter, not suspecting the serious condition of the man put him in the men's lavatory and when the train pulled out without Watson the porter went to look him up. As Watson came out of the lavatory he drew a revolver and shot the porter, the bullet only making a slight flesh wound in the neck, and the negro has since entirely recovered. Watson was captured by several men and taken to the county jail where he afterward became a raving maniac and set the bedding on fire and also hid the dishes among his clothing to stop bullets. The insanity board met Tuesday morning and adjudged Watson insane, and although a young man came here irom Mason City to accompany him home the board thought best to send Sheriff Nelson as Watson was so violent he had to be put in a stretcher.

After the Great Northern railway sells the townsite, this city will no longer be known as Montrose but will bear the name of Wildrose. A few weeks ago the citizens of this place were notified that owing to the fact that the Great Northern railroad had already a station on their road named Montrose that a new name would have to be selected for our enterprising city. A meeting was called and five names were selected and written on a petition which was sent to the Great Northern headquarters requesting that one of these names be selected as the new name for this city. Tuesday evening word was received from the Great Northern people that Wildrose was the new name selected. The general feeling is one of satisfaction and approval of the new Plainsman.
