The rain yesterday and day be fore has been a splendid thing for the crops. Sunday bought Mr. Qarroll I E4 Gray's Aools and: removed them *to Wahpeton this morning to help along matters in the watef works. THE TIMES was in error last week in the statement that Mr. and Mrs. Bauer's little son would be buried in the Breckenridge cemetery. The remains were laid away in the Wild Itice cemetery. Mrs. Elizabeth E. Johnston and Miss Lizzie Johnston, mother and sister of John Johnston of this city, arrived Wednesday from Akron, Ohio, to spend a part of the summer here with her friends. The roller rink was opened last evening with a large attendance. This promises to be a splendid in stitution not only to the young folks who .'will, patronize it, but is a valuable acquisition to the city. The latest telegraphic account of the Barnes county defalcation, men 3 ,tioned in another place in to-duy's 'paper* is to:the effect that Pease.has quit the county #24,000 short in his accounts.

Barntf HickMt, fiq., bthcr of P. H. and E. .M. Hackett, is at Wahpeton viriting his children and friends.' This is Mr. H's second visit, and he says Wahpeton is a good town and growing rapidly. Marshal Mean, one day this week had a burying party out, Who placed under the sod the carcases of ten hones and one dog, which have been nuisances in the suburbs of the city since spring. A. man losing a horse during winter, ought to see to it that it be buried as soon as spring comes. Mr, C. F. LaFlare and Mr. Miner of the Michigan Settlement, were in Wahpeton this week, and state to THE TIMES that the religious awak ening in that settlement and at Mount Adk and at the Smith school house in Minnesota is still attract ing*mucli attention, and new con versions are constantly made. Our people should be careful about putting out fire after rubbish has been burned. Tbe other evening at half past twelve Marshal Mears aroused the family of Mr. Adolph Bessie to put out embers fron^ such a fire, the wind having come up and was blowing the sparks about in a dangerous manner. Let Wahpeton's people be careful about fire. The town trustees have added to the number of the board of health, a member for each ward. First, Fred E. Stauff second, Chas Dam erel third, John Kotschevar fourth, John Nelson fifth, C. G. Gilford, he board organized the other day and made John Kotschevar chair man, who has a notice in to-day's paper, to which we call attention. Telegram: General Passenger Agent Fee, of the Northern Pacific, lias had fine car chair placed on tbe day train running between Fargo and St. L'aul. These may be occu pied by ladies holding first-class tickets without extra Charge, and gentlemen accompanying ladies have the same privilege.

Now we think Wahpeton has occasion to feel proud of her self to scoop a city like Fergus in fine appearing people. Pilot: Geo. H. White of Wahpe ton, after traveling through the country concluded that the thriving town of Ransom City and the sur rounding country would warrant him in having his line of machinery represented here, consequently he will have on the ground in a few days a full line, consisting of the following machines: The light run ning Piano harvester and binder, new Warrior mower, Bonanza rake Cassaday sukly plow, walking plows, wagons, &c„ and a full line of ex tras for the Piano harvester aw binder. Sheriff Propper and wife returned from Sioux Falls Friday, and the sheriff says he was much pleased with Sioux Falls. It is a town of several thousand inhabitants,, and the valuable stone quaries surround ing the place is the occasion of a large amount of money being dis tributed there. Stone is shipped to many sections of the country from that point, and for all purposes. He showed us a sample of the sort that is polished for table and bureau tops, &c. It's as hard as flint and polish es to a surface like glass of the smoothest order, of a brown color. There are 80 odd prisoners confined there, and a large guard surround ing the penitentiary gives the pris oners access to a section of the stone'factory, and they work. According to the Pembina Ex press, Pembina county this terri tory, the people are kicking over the introduction of the township sys tem. But the paper takes the right ground in urging the people to ac quaint themselves with its advan tages and make the most of the sit uation. When the measure was in troduced in Richland county, Audi tor Stauff and the commissioners took particular pains to aid in the commencement, by ordering proper blanks, giving proper election no tices in the several towns, from time to time as required to make it a success, and where necessary paying for the same until now we hear no complaints, and think that all towns are working under a splendid management. But of course it took some work, manage ment and care to accomplish this good. And in this feature of the general duties developing on the board and auditor, we think they have acquit themselves with special credit. In fact without casting the least disparaging, idea on former management, we think Richland county's public affairs are conducted in a most thorough and business-like manner. It is like everything else here in the general advancement and increase ofdutiea, all interests are held up abreast of the times. 1 Notice.

A call was made on Mr. Morrill of The Ga gettn, who was opening anew line of job stock, and who remarked that business was good. A call also was made upon George P. Gar red, 'of THE TIMES, who has a nice office, with a power press, and from the number of men about the establish ment, one could not but suppose the newspaper business was good. I From Abercrombie.

This was the, ma jor's first visit at Wahpeton, aff&he came on the first train overjjthe Fargo Southern railroad, an enter prise that he just now is abljf lop ing to push through. Spokie in very flattering terms of Wahpeton and thought THE TIMES was on especi ally good terms with itself, fine office building, fast presses, Ac. And in return we were none the less pleased with the major's visit, and assured that gentleman that not only THE TIMES but that. Wah peton will ever be glad to welcom him to its handsome thoroughfares and abetter acquaintance with our peo ple. We clip the following compli mentary notice of Wahpeton from The Argus of Saturday: Also to Mr. and Mrs. J. Wood land of McCAuleyville, Minn., a son. Mrs. E. M. Hackett has been very sick with neuralgia of the heart, but she is gaining slowly. Dr. Swaine is attending her. Charles Stetson left Abercrombie this morning, the 19th inst., for Sargent county, this teiritory, in tending to take land if the country suits him. Mr. Louis Boudiette removed to Wahpeton for good today, the 19th. This leaves Martin alone to batch it, and we are sorry for you Martin, think of Mowe and do likewise A little girl from McCauleyville, Minnesota, between three and four years of age, was drowned in Whis key Creek, the first of this month. It is a sad blow to her parents, as she was their only daughter. Mr. Barney Hackett from Roch ester, Minnesota, is visiting his sons, Attorney Hackett of Wahpeton, and E. M. Hackett of this place. He is well pleased with the country in general, and especially the Red this ^rriage has ever been recognized as a divine ordinance, and the greatest degree of intellect ual and moral excellence, together with the highest type of civiliza tion has ever been favored by those nations who have held it most sacred in its character, and p'"«erved it most carefully in its wiijinal purity. The church has ••*r re garded it as a union recogniMd by the Almighty, and the law rec ognized it as a civil conn *»t, the highest and most binding *nd im portant of any known.

It establishes the fact beyond any possible doubt that .this section of the country is in affair way to.^recjeive an addition al outlet for this season's crop, over an important system of railway enterprise. We think it is gener ally admitted that the CltScagb, Milwaukee & St. Paul will operate the line and take care of the busi ness tributary to it, and there is nothing small about that railway system, it is able to measure arms with the best of them at least as far east as Chicago. This is what the sturdy people of the famous valley want, and when it is established that this move means actually and truly to carry out the true princi ples of safe and just competition for business, just that soon the whole valley will rise up and call it blessed and not hesitate to advance its interests, in every way possible. This section does not care to forget St. Paul and Minneapolis and the roads radiating from these points into this country, but what we want is a fair and even chance at commercial advantages east of those places. We want to gain as close access to the great money cen tres as possible. This is our privi lege and our right, and the hand that helps us thus will be remem bered in all acquisitions until the grand result is obtained. "When I Holler it's Law!" Go to the Opera House Friday night of this week and laugh at the celebrated John Dillon in his humor ous character of "Pilgrim Boggs" in "State's Attorney and- in "Paul Pry aud a Farce" on Saturday night. Here is what the Sioux City Times says of Dillon: "If "any one has been deluded into the belief that John Dillon's popularity in Sioux City was waning, the magnificent audi ence which greeted him at the Acad emy last night should be sufficient to dispell the illusion. Dillon has been here many times, bnt he never appeared to better advantage than he did last night as "Pilgrim Boggs" in "State's Attorney." This play was written by Mr. Scott Marble, especially for Dillon, and while it gives this famous comcdian full play in the very lines which he is" strongest, it at the same time is strong in other points too. And while wholly different, there is some thing of a similarity between "State's Attorney" and "Hazel Kirke." Miss Nellie Walters plays the Quaker maiden to perfection, and indeed all the female parts are well re presented, and especially is the case with Mrs. George Walters, who has a saucy, piquant, able-to-take-care of-herself character, Which shows in strong controst with the quiet, tender, clinging personation of Miss Walters." lame back, side or chest use Shlloh's Porous '•sr.

To the Editor of The Times: DEAR SIR:—AS chairman of the board of health for Wahpeton, I wonld snggest to our citi zens that they clean up about their residence and places or business, all rubbiBh and tilth ac cumulated the past winter, at the earliest possi. ble day. for soon there will be warm weather and danger from disease. Let Wahpeton be placed among the cleanest towns in Dakota. JOHN NELSON. iJHTON GULES BOOT AND SHOE MAKER ^Shop on Dakota avenue, opposite N. Schott's ««*, All kinds ol replug ~f Dont Belleye. It*' Under sensational headings, Tues day's Pioneer Press reports that the Fargo Southern road has changed hands at a recent meetipg of rail road men in New York. We take no stock in the story, but as a mat ter of floating gossip, on a question of much interest to the northwest, give this much of the statement: These arrangements are said to have been .11 agreement whereby the Manitoba, Milwaukee it St. Paul and Northern Pacllic each secures a third interest in the new road, with the proviso, however, that it Is made strictly and purely a north and south road, with neithor eastern or western branches. Mr. Hill is said to have then consented to abandon his intention to build southwesterly inte the Fargo Southern country. Tbe Fargo Southern, as is well .know is tbe road oi which H. E. Sargeant, formerly general manager of the Northern Pacific, is president. It runs from Fargo in an almost di rect southerly direction, to Flandreau, touch ing at Wahpeton, Ortonvllle and one or two prominent Minnesota and Dakota towns." The road is now under construction. The grading has been completed the entire length of tbe road, and upwards ol sixty miles of rail have been laid. The first train between Fargo and Wah peton was run Friday last. It is our opinion that railroad men and capitalists have an inter est in the Fargo Southern, who care very little for the Mani toba management. They, we im agine, don't have to sell out to any such corporation. And as to the talk of J. J. Hill's building a road into the "Fargo Southern's terri tory,'-'the southwest, is, we think, mere bosh. Let him build a road there if lie feels like it, and if the Milwaukee, Rock Island & Northwestern do not down him in good shape, there we miss our reckoning. No, the Manitoba can't do it. It's a St. Paul and Minne apolis institution, ainl Chicago will more than hold her own against them in this deal. This idea of Mr. Hill's running out the Milwaukee or any other road in that way, has played out. Breckenridge. From the Record: We forgot last week to mention the arrival of Mr. Alden of Chicago, father of Mrs. E. G. Valentine. He will spend the summer here. The saloon business of Tim O'Lea ry will hereafter be carried on by his partner, Tom Maher, Mrs. O'Leary retaining her husband's interest in the business. Mail service will be extended to Milnor on the Black Hills road the first week in June. This will be of great service to Breckenridge, giv ing as it will direct mail communi cation with Fergus Falls, the seat of the U. S. Land office for this dis trict. Republican, 20: The convention of the county commissioners of the territory will meet in Fargo to-day. The meeting will be convened in the Opera house and will probably be in session two days. This convention has been called for the purpose of formulating and recommending to the next legislature the passage of a law to equalize the rates of tax ation to extend the time for mak ing out county assessment lists, and to turn tflie revenue derived from liquor licenses, from the school fund into the general county fund. The meeting will be one of more than ordinary interest to our public. NOTICE. H. B. liurgoi', of the Michigan Settlement, will herd cattle the present season. Terms $1.50 in cluding salt.
