Farmers and others should remomber that we furnish THE TIMESand either the weekly Pion?er Press, St. Paul Globe or Minneapolis Tribune for the very low price or two dollars per year,—or THE TIMESin the county for one dollar per year, in ad\ ance. This is really a splendid offer, and It is being taken by the farmers very much to their and our satisfaction. We publish no "pat. ent" and teei certain that the subscriber gets double for Ms money by accepting onr offer than he would did wepublish a patent for the same money. ttP" And aside from the above facts, THE TIMES is the official paper of Richland county and of the city of Wahpeton, thus making it ab solutely essential to every tax payer in the count}, to say nothing of Ihe above advantages.

Wahpeton, Sept. 22nd, 1884. The Democratic voters of Richland county will meet in mass convention at the court-house at Wahpeton, Oct. 4th, 1884, at 2 o'clock, p. m. to nominate the necessary county officers to be elected November next. The committee would especially urge all voters to attend the conven tion, J. N. DEANS, chairman.

Now some suggests that it should have been Ben and Belva. The Watertown Daily Courier has been enlarged from a five to a six column folio newspaper, otherwise improved and from last Monday will be issued as a morning paper. We are pleased to see this evidence fit prosperity in this Watertown daifr. :M Judge Gresham who has been at .the head of the post-office depart ment during Arthur's administra tion has been appointed secretary of the treasury, and Hatton of the post-office department succeeds Qresbatnl It is said the latter does not want the secretaryghip, bet may & it—topleasethe president, and that after the present administra tion, will go to Indianapolis and practice law. Major B. E. Fleming, deputy United States commissioner for North Dakota in the interest of the New Orleans exposition, called at THE TIMES office yesterday and inti mated that unless Dakota citizens took more interest in the enterprise than they igetgmed to* promise at present, a mistake of immense pro portions would be made. The com missioner said that Richland county with little work and no great ex pense could collect specimens of grasses of all kinds, samples of wood, all kinds of farm procfects, threshed and unthreshed grain, fruits of all kinds, Ac., &c., and placing the same in a box and for warding to him at Fargo, he would see that it went to New Orleans. And in the second place, each coun ty he says, should, over the signa tures of their rspective commission ers, writeoff-history which should be forwarded to the governor and all published jn a pamphlet and dis tributed UHkie hundred thousand. Third, that the commissioners of each county stould issue a time warrant on tffefpt reatury, pending such time as it might b^ replaced bi&legislative enactment the present session, thus throwing the cost on «akota electing seven toAhe Legislative Convention to be herd at Fargo, October 8, 1884.

It seems to us that should be well represented at New Orleans. The territory could well afford to pay the expense, but we would want such a course pursued as would guarantee proper expenditure,—and no stealing what ever. If the people fell that this would be carried out, there would, we presume, be 110 difficulty in get ing their aid. Mr. Stebbins, the Candidate In last week's issue we had occa sion to espouse the farmers' cause in opposition to a scheme that had captured the Dwight so-called farm ers' convention—not only in county matters but legislative as well,— the move also, (owing to a peculiar state o! political atmosphere at Wahpeton), having gained what ap peared on the surface to be a com mendable feature, in the way of delegates to the legislative conven tion. So well organized was this movement that it threatened to step in and absolutely rob the farmers of every vestige of political strength iu this direction promised tbem during the past several months, through work in their association. It is patent to all that the burdon of the farmers' political talk the past months has been that they wanted to name the next legislator, and most people were anxious that this should be the case. But it is ad mitted on every hand that had not Hugh Moore, It. H. Hankinson, S. E. Stebbins, T. L. Sowle and other farmers and friends of justice, held a caucus.on the eve of the conven tion day and decided on a plan of action to be pursued in convention Wednesday morning, that conven tion would have been captured soul and body in t}ie interest of the fac tion that took charge of the Dwiglit convention above alluded to. |gne of these farmers going infoj Conventi{^single handed could not have done^wiyfcliing. And it is a solemn fact that, on the other hand they did a most wise and judicious tliingj|t-in the light of«-the farmers' cause. They a jreed on a delegation to present llicbland county's inter ests at the Fargo convention, and to recommend a man suitable to the fanners—and all citizens, but did not at this caucus decide who it should be, leaving this to be done by vote of the Bichland county tax payers in convention, when the lat ter should have been placed in proper position to speak on the matter. It is true that a majority of the farm ers' proposed delegates were in favor of Hugh Moore, the compact includ ing all the farmer candidates, but this did not by any means say that the convention should instruct for Hugh Moore, although it was our hope that such would be the case. The fight went, nobly on and of course the factional candidate was downed, who at once withdrew and asked his supporters to favor Mr. S. IS. Stebbins, and on the formal ballot Mr. Stebbins' friends pulled out from the farmers' combination and voting with the factional party got a straight majority of nine votes, out of seventy-three. Here Mr. Moore moved that Mr. Stebbins be made the unanimous choice of the convention. Had Mr. S. E. Stebbins urged his friends to stand by the combination ticket, they in return would have bad the right to urge the convention to instruct for Mr. Stebbins, and the chances are the instructions would have been that way. But this latter is a trival matter since the farmers have gain ed their point.—at one time all but euchered out of, and now have a most exemplary man and citizen to represent them in the legislature, a & IF} *M% cS man- who willido.all in his power to honorab^v earry ont the wishes of His constituents. There is no mis take about that. The convention closed perfectly harmonious, all con cerned uniting in the fact and thought that it was a good day's work well performed. John \V. Garrett, president of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad died Fri day last at the age of 64. He leaves two sons and a daughter one of the former, Eobert, now fully assumes the presidency of the road. If any nian runs away with the idea that Hugh Moore expected to be nominuted at Fargo through any otheiv course than honorable from beginning to end, as was urged by the opposition, that person is labor ing under a mistaken idea. For two days prior to the convention and in convention, he understood fully that ho would have in the end to defeat the united forces of the factional candidate and those of Mr. Stebbins, and he was mainly instru mental in setting about the organ ization of the compact, naming these men for delegates, subject to in struction from convention: Hugh Moore, S. E. Stebbins, Kiuor Hoel, p. Swalne, T. L. Sowle, A'&fcGoodhue, F.C Giddings. Jfr Mr. Moore fought the battle hon orably and retired in good order. The set of delegates elected by a majority of nine out of seventy three, was as follows: H. W. Troy, B. L. Bogart, A. L. Roberts, J. ll.Mears, A.G.Steelehammer, K. M.Nelson, S. H.Snyder. The convention meets Wednesday, Oct. 8th, next. A correspondent to the Press and Dakotaian, speaking of the outcome of the Pierre convention, closes in this wise: "I have been looking over the list of members of the new territorial central committee. I find there the names of most of the leading north ern and many of the southern friends of Ordwayism. I find that the city of Bismarck has been given two members of that committee and the city of Yankton but one, and that one the leader of the movement which has placed us in the power of those who have been fighting us. You will hardly expect me to con clude that such a committee will be friendly to our interests, and yet this committee has control of the politics of Dakota for the next two years. My conclusions in this in stance are that Yankton county's action at tho Pierre convention puts an end to the capital contest, either in the courts or out of the courts, and fixes it solidly at Bismarck that Secretary Teller, having been in vided to go, may accept the invita tion that Yankton will remain in definitely as the tail of the Sioux Falls kite that the United States court will be put on wheels as soon as the legislature meets. I expect the men who have put us in this condition will now ask to be "vin dicated" by election to various offices." TIIE OLD MAN. The Model Wife, Scripture and history and poetry vie with one another in sounding the praises of the model wife. The man who is blessed with a compan ion worthy the name of a model wife can snap his fingers in the faces of all the old bachelors that ever breathed, and give them points each ™PI d^y in every exalted pleasure that •flakes life worth living. There is lib danger of his applying for a di vorce. Unfortunately for the married men of this generation the model wives are most all dead. The strug gle for existence was too much for them. The ceaseless, silent, self sacrifice needed to build up a model domestic character could only be met and borne as long as there was a living appreciation of the personal laws of duty that underlie ail sorts of ideal existence. The men who appreciated model wives and were in return willing to be model hus bands were so few that the good wives—that is the model wives— grew discourage'd and took to then graves or some more congenial oc cupation. 'T The few model.wives that are left are cherished by cheir husbands be yond even 1 their cigars or their horses. 8The model wife of the workingmanfclerk, or business man has some appreciation of the 10,000 little labors, petty cares and annoyances that her husband has to go through each day in his work shop or office. She considers that such worrying cares are a part of the duties by which her husband makes a living for himself, for her and for the children if there are any. And when the husband comes home from his work, tired, perhaps cross and hungry and out of sorts, she is alway ready to meet him with some quiet and gentle good cheer. Her own person is attractive and restful to him. She always has some pleasant scheme in mind to make his home hours pleasant to him, and so makes herself indispen sable and a constant joy. The model wife does^ot see how many poor and silly mid exacting things she can say to her tired hus band. If she lias anything to ask she waits until lie is rested and fed. She invites pleasant people to her home, not to show how many rich things she has, but to'make her hus band's home hours pass cheerfully. She knows that if she is half a wo man no other can displace her in his affections. She is always more at tractive in her manners to her hus band than to other men. She is the genius of the household. But, un- & to THE "BIO FLAf.w A Teneauiiat HoitM wta orer B|U IC DOBMUT in T«XM Each of the doors lead into a suit of three rooms, with windows opening on the court-yard, and each suit, except the end ones, which cost $13, is rented for $9 to $10 a month, payable in advance. There are at present, the janitor informs us, between 800 and 900 peo ple living in the house. Most of them are Bohemian Jews, but there are some Russians, Italians, Chinese and Irish also. "We have very'few Irish," says the janitor, "for we don't want the lowest of them, and the better class wouldn't come here." The tenants are chiefly tailors who work at home, and street peddlers. "The Big Flat," continued the janitor," was originally built for colored people, and was afterwards turned into lodg ings for working girls. Now it belongs to the New York Steam-Heating company. What air duties? Well, to collect rents, to see that the tenants keep their rooms clean—Jews are mostly dirty—to have the water-tank on tho roof, which issfilled by a stqjgn pump in the cellar, kept always full ana to exe cute general repairs. Thgfcis no gas in any of the rooms excepuPRfe, and the tenants burn kerosene. They bring their own cooking-stoves with^hem.

It is said to be fireproof and it appears to be so. Two broad flights of:stone stairs with iron balusters, one on the Mott street and one on the Elizabeth street end, lead from floor to floor. At the top of each flight is a long, dark corridor, off which sixteen doors open on one side and thirty-two windows on the other. Towns. the bunt to Italian The and are street Up long flights of dirty stairs we toil,. untu at length we reach an open door. A woman, apparently about 50, but in reality not more than half that ago, stands in the entrance with a fortnight old baby in her arms. She is unkempt, unwashed, and altogether unattractive. Is this a sample of the bright Italian beauties of which we have read and dreamed so much, with their darkly flashing eyes and raven locks, and clear, pale olive skins to which, the red blooid rushes on occasion?

They eat anything they can get, whether they buy it from the butchers' offal, or pick it out of the ash barrel or the gutter. They will not spend money on fuel, and pork is cheap, so they eat it raw, and tri chinosis is rife. They can live, like the Chinese, where men of other nationali ties would starve, and so they arc sav ing money and becoming householders, and are forming a permanent Italian colony in Mulberry street and its neigh borhood, as they have already done in the vicinity of Snow Hill and Holborn Valley, London. An Eagle Eye. [Exchange.] A story is told of Van Amburgh, the great lion-tamer, now dead. On one oc casion while in a bar-room he was asked how lie got his wonderful power over animals. He said: "It is by showing them that I am not the least afraid of them, and by keep ing my eye steadily fixed on theirs, I'll give you an example of the power of my eye." Pointing to a loutish fellow who was landing near by, he said: "You see that fellow? He's a regular clown. I'll make him come across the room to me, and I won't say a word to him." Sitting down, he fixed his keen, steady eye on the man. Presently the fellow straight ened himself gradually, got up and came slowly across to the lion-tamer. When he got close enough he drew back his arm and struck Van Amburgh a tre mendous blow under the chin, knocking him clear over the chair, with the re mark: "You'll stare at me like that again, won't you. A Little Absent-minded. [New York Trutb.] A Whitehall woman, about to boil an egg for her husband's breakfast, asked the loan of his watch to time the boil ing.- "Your watch has stopped," she cried "the egg is in and I can't tell how long it ought to remain in the kettle." The husband hastened to the stove, and was horror-struck to find that the good woman had dropped his elegant gold watch into the ket tle, and was hold ing the egg to her ear. Telephones and Improved [New Haven Register.]' It appears that many people who have telephones in their houses or places of business, and use them frequently, find their hearing bettered. The best testi mony, however, comes from the central office: At each switch-board sits an operator, generally a girl, who, from morning till night, haggles with un reasonable subscribers tilli her head fairly rings with "hello,", "all right," "go ahead." Now, her ear is drilled to catch the faintest sound. If an operator were to take a switch-board one day in the week, only, and do all the work re quired on that day, the practice would doubtless be detrimental, because it would be exhaustive to both the muscu lar and nervous make-up of the ear. Systematic use of the telephone seems to develop the hearing above its normal aeuteness. The difficulty which people find in working the telephone comes from inability to fix the attention on what lsheard. i, HU' are dead. .. glrlin Lewis- ton, Me., lias| recently become the' mother of a child which weighed three pounds-at birth.
