DEAR SIR:—I have just delivered a suit of clothes for $45.00 to L. V. Nord, express agent on the Breckenridge extension, and lie says the suit could not be made better in any way. Ho is more than pleased. Again: I have just de livered a pair of pants to Mr. P. M, Randall, agent at the N. P. depot, and lie says lie never wore a better fitting pair of pants, nor was never better pleased with a tailor's work. Now I would say that there are those who seem to think I don't do first class work, and would respectfully refer such to these gentle men as reference. There are others I might name but it would be superfluous. Anyone in need of gents' furnishing goods or ready made clothing can not do better than to give me a call. n5 E. RISCHARD. LOCAL ITEWS. Republican, 4: Judge Buxton of Wahpeton, was in the city yester day. Daily Alert: Jamestown has more handsome women and girls than any other city of its size in the north west. 11. Dunbar, the farm machinery man, up to recently of Dwight, has taken charge of Chas. Knapp's ma chinery at Wahpeton. The Rev. Mr. Peake of Valley City will preach in the Congregational church at 3 o'clock next Sunday also in Breckenridge at eleven. II. Johnson, the athletic and popular clerk at M. T. Stevens' hard ware establishment, has just re ceived a very fine Acme Bicycle, and is fast lerning to use it. However, Mr. Mack takes the cake. The Unice Goodrich Comedy Com pany held forth at the opera house Friday and Saturday evenings, we understand to very poor houses. We have not seen any one that was pleased with any part of the enter tainments. Argus, 14: Hon. J. W. Dwight of Dryden, New York, who was a. delegate to the Chicago convention, is in Fargo. Mr. Dwight came up from the big farm where wheat is shooting up almost so it can be seen to grow. THE TIMES was mistaken last week in saying that Blanding and Hackett were to remove their office to rooms over the Bee Hive. The firm is to dessolve, and Mr. Hackett will make the charge. Mr. Blanding will keep his office and roms where lie is. Next Sunday, June 22 J, is child ren's day at Chapel Hall. In the evening the children of the M. E. S. S. will give an entertainment, consisting of recitations and songs, at 8 oclock. All are invited, and especially the young people. H. W. TKOY, Pastor. The Gazette, evidently thought it was doing acute thing a few weeks ago when it signed a contract giv ing it the privilege to institute and publish The Mercury a year for $25 per week. Last week that paper threw up its hands and to use its own languaget thought it had been struck by a gang of highwaymen. The Wahpeton Silver Cornet Band has been engaged to play in May ville July 4th. This is one one of the finest bands in North Dakota and good music is certain to all who come to celebrate.—Mayville Tribune. That's right, Mr. Tribune, the boys will'give. May ville satisfaction, and no mistake. The Mercury publishing company has withdrawn from the Gazette establishment and entered into business arrangement with The Re cord of Breckenridge, or with Chas. J. Glasier of the Record, with a view to either sell the latter or discon tinue the same before a great while, and then Messrs.4Glasier and Greig to fiush the Mercury. Mr. Glasier to an experienced newspaper man, and the two will evidently make the Mercury a good newspaper. The Mercury office may be found the first! door east of the opera house. The other day we received a pleas ant call from Mr. John Peterkin, a man dealing in harness maker's and saddler's hardware at Fargo. Mr. Peterkin had been at Milnor and other towns tributary to Fargo wholesale houses, and said to us that he had done very well indeed. And with all others he thought that Wahpeton was a firstrate little city and that so far as lie was able to judge thought the whole country was in a most promising condition he certainly never saw crops took more promising. Mr. Peterkin is a wide awake and most pleasant gentleman, and if Wahpeton's har ness makers should see fit to leave a trial order with his house in Fargo for such goods as he carries, we feel certain that they will be well treated. He does of course a wholesale busi ness. The marshal Is doing a most com mendable work in putting down a large plank sewer at the eastern end of Pembina avenue, extending from the river a distance of nearly two blocks. The bottom of the sewer at the east end is perhaps six feet from the surface, and the sluce way itself is between two and threfeet square, sufficient to contain a large volume of water. This gives an opportuni ty to drain the northwestern part of the city in an excellent manner. Second street lias also been well graded, sidewalks laid down and a general improvement made there which one would at once admit in creased the value of property in that part of town at least 25 per cent. We do not want to see Wah peton make su'cli improvements when it cannot be afforded, but thus far the grading done has been needed and the sewer work is of vital im portance, which taken together with the thorough manner in which the work is being done, is a suffi cient guarantee that the expenditure is wise. There is not much use to grade streets and have no way to diain off the water, hence this fea ture of well kept ditches and a first class sewer is a stroke in the right direction. 1 Argus, 16: The Fargo Southern starts off with an excursion train from Abercrombie to Fargo to brinj people into the circus. Genera Passenger Agent Eddy evidently in tends to be fully up with the march of events. Argus, 17: Judge S. A. Hudson came in from Grand Forks Sunday night and intends leaving for that place this morning. It is said that it will take five\ weeks to complete the calendar in Grand Forks, and that the Ward brothers trial will not be reached before the latter end of the present month. Ortonville Herald: The Fargo Southern now only lacks about six teen miles of being completed so far as the rails are concerned. They are now laying track" at the rate of two miles per day, and will nearly be completed by our next issue. They have reached a point abou!t five miles this side of the Bois de Sioux, from the Fargo end. Early this week John S. Wells re ceived a telegram from his wife's people, who live a dozen miles or ao from Litchfield, Minnesota, saying that Mrs. Wells was very ill, and asking his presence at once, and Mr. W. took the next train for that place. Since there are no later re ports it is thought that she is better. Iler many friends here hope so at any rate. What's In a name?" One paper is said to have printed the naino of one ol Fargo's most talented and popular attorneys W Greenle," another "E VV Green," and an alleged sheet try ing to correct the errors of the newspapers prints it "M W Green," when Mr Miller's part ner's name is W Groene, or has been known as such since corssing the Red River. Mr Miller is for Raymond. This gentleman was retained in a large number of cases before Judge Hudson in the late term of court at Wahpeton, and showed that he was an able lawyer. And by the-way, anyone in Richland county having legal business at Fargo or district court work to be looked after, the firm of Miller & Greene will do it for them, and do it weil. St. Paul Globe: Col. Shaw, of St. Paul, Minn., has sold to J. Cargill, of Wahpeton, D. T., the handsome bay mare, Moss Rose, by Swigert, dam Kittie Breeze. Price was $1,000. Mr. Cargill intends to condition her for some of the later meetings. Fergus Telegram: Moss Rose is of the same blood as the fine young stallion recently secured by C. D. Wright and J. J. Billings, he being by Hugliey Angus, a son of Swigert. The stallion is acting very well and no one need be surprised if he should show a mile in 2:35 before the season closes. The circus has come and gone, and of the afternoon performance we have heard many favorable com ments. The evening performance which is seldom ever full, we think was fair. The tumbling, leaping over elephants, &c., was up to the standard the bare back riding was very good. However, we regard the trained dogs as splendid. They did many interesting things,amongthem being the act of jumping through a small hoop all on fire the clown with the trained donkies was good, as was the bicycle performance and the performance of one man-stand ing on his head on top of a second man's head and then balancing around the ring was new and novel. The girl balancing on a loose rope was good, as well as the performance of the "Aerial Queen," who did some fine work similar to trapeze per formance, in the peak of the tent The menagerie was very full, con taining some rare animals, among them being a giraffe, a male and a female hippopotamus, a lioness and ttto little young cubs, &c. The atreet pacade was very good. In ,:,.:i ..... 'WAHPffirOlr ROLLER RINK Another Difficulty. Tuesday evening between twelve and one o'clock, a young man ap plied at Miksche's store and aroused the clerks, asking where he could find a doctor. One of the boys there inquired into the matter and at once called Dr. Barkow It seems that a young man named John Lenzen, living at Abercrombie, had come to town that day on busi ness which he had settled satisfac torily and then apparently cast about town to have a little fun with the boys, and in the evening was seen at Wm. Mulrooney's a little the worse from drink a thing unusual for him, but was not noisey. Not far from eleven the marshal dropped into this place and asked William to close up, as he (the marshal) had an object in it, and it was soon done. Later, Joseph Kenerson, who lives over the sample room, was aroused from his bed by talk coming from the vicinity of an empty ice house back of this place, and going to the window heard one party say: If we knew you had any money we'd go through you," in a rather dem onstrative tone of voice. There was perhaps other talk. Soon someone from this group struck out on a dead run for the avenue and was not fol lowed. Subsequently as above stated, John Lenzen applied for help and a doctor. He had a severe cut as well as three other minor cuts on one hand, the knife had also rip ped open his coat under one arm and he had been slashed on top of one shoulder two or three times, but in neither of these latter cases had the skin been touched, and the assailants had succeeded in taking what money he had, something less than a dollar. The encounter is supposed to have taken place in the vicinity of Chas. Damerel's hard ware store. We have been careful in running the various rumors down, talked with reliable men and the marshal, and the foregoing is the best version we can make of the affair. Open Day and Night. Admission 10 cents Skates 15 cents. Mes' Tickets—10 Skates, $1.50 Gentlemens' Tickets—10 Skates, $2.00 Chilarens' Tickets—10 Skates, $1.00. 8 the afternoon the tent was well filled, but in the evening the audi ence was only medium in size. It was one of the most orderly circus gangs that we have ever seen, and there were not as many swindling devices hanging on to it as are usual. Saturday's Game. From the tone of several mean little squibs in the Benson Times of Tuesday, it would seem that the nine from there were disappointed with their success at Wahpeton Sat urday before, in that they found their match in the Wahpeton nine. There was $50 of a wager up and the ninth innings being a tie, play ing continued to the twelfth inning, when the game was declared a tie amid some confusion. Up to the seventh inning the game seemed well balanced and there was no fault found on either side, except at the beginning, when one or two of the Wahpeton nine who knew how mat ters stood, objected to one Mr. Smith, who aceompanied the Benson club, acting as umpire in that it was pretty well established that Mr. Smith was the man putting up the "0 on their side and had also se cured four players from Minneapo lis, hence it was thought he would prove partial,— a natural supposi tion. 13ut he was finally allowed to umpire, and sure enough at the seventh inning his partial rulings became apparent, for he saw it was the only way he could win, and from that time on it was kept up. How ever, the Wahpeton boys played their nine men against the Benson and Minneapolis ten men racket in a most creditable manner, notwith standing the Benson club's kick in The Times of that place. At the time the visitors left the field, the Wahpeton boys offered to play them for .ft50 or ^200 on the following day, provided an impartial umpire was secured, and it was generally understood that the game would be continued, until suddenly it was found that the visitors had boarded a train for home. And as to finding fault with their entertainment here, &c., it may be enough to say that they came stringing along in differ ent squads, our boys allege doing the box-car act, in a manner mak ing it rather difficult to meet them, and that all the attention possi ble was paid them but that since it was a game for money, it was perhaps the proper thing for them to pay their own bills. The Wahpeton boys are all gentlmen, all of them, and they insist on a square deal every time. The trouble with the Benson boys is, they found their match. There were eight runs made on each side. There is no mistake of the fact that there area lot of rough characters in town, and nights they seem to roost in the vacant ice house above mentioned. Last year the same thing was done. The marshal has routed them out several times re cently, but of course he cannot be up all day and all night too, and they seem to watch him until he goes home before they collect there or make any disturbance. There is danger of this thing being kept up, until some innocent man is mistaken for a highwayman and shot. Lels Larson of Washburn, was run over and killed by his own team near Bismarck* a few days ago. MY: The Children^ Entertainment. We had not the pleasure of attend ing the school exhibition at the opera house, Monday evening, but have heard several who did attend speak very highly of it. At the be ginning Mr. crocker, the principal, said that it would perhaps be the proper thing for him to say that his efficient assistant, Miss Austin, had done very much to make the enter tainment a success, and that he did not deserve all of whatever credit the audience might feel.disposed to give the management of this per formance.
