who are supposed to know all about so
cial matters, and wlio claim social lead
ership as an inherent right wherever
they go, are to a certain extent in the
background. The woman who stands
Well to the fore, and who holds the place
with a grace and ease that astonishes
the old time leaders, is one who comes
from beyond tho Mississippi. Tho gen
eral impression seems to be that tliis
state of affairs has been brought about
by the advent of western women in the
White House. This may have had some
influence. But the careful observer of
the situation will conclude that it is a
clear case of the survival-of tho fittest.
The women from the west who are
foremost in capital circles this winter
are not only handsome and intelligent,
butthey are educated and cultured. They
know how to dress and how to entertain.
And there is an open handed, broad
gauge hospitality which the western
woman introduces at her entertainments
that is altogether charming.
MRS. DAVIS.
Mrs. Harrison, although she was born
in Ohio and lived a great many years in
Indiana, is hardly atypical western wo
man. There is a certain constraint in
her manner that in a stranger's eyes
savors of stiffness which is not at all
western.
But she has shown herself thoroughly
patriotic, for she has gone from garret
to cellar of the executive mansion,
searching out every relic of past admin
istrations that has not fallen under tho
auctioneer's hammer. She has had them
carefully put in order for future preser
vation.
The quaint rosewood chairs that
stand in her private sitting room, dain
tily upholstered with pale green brocade,
she found in the wood cellar badly de
faced and broken. The tall china vase
that occupies a corner in the lower hall
was found broken and cast away among
a heap of rubbish in the garret. Mrs.
Harrison thinks that something should
be preserved from each administration,
and in her plan for the extension of the

good
Mrs. Harrison is a .very pretty
She ia a blonde of the Dresden
typo—all pink and white. She is fond of
wearing silvery, gauze-like materials,
which give, her the appearance of a fairy.
Mrs. Senator Davis, of St. Paul, Minn.,
is said to be the handsomest woman in
Washington. Mjs. Davis is of- the Juno
type. She is five feet and seven inches
in height and magnificently fotmed. Her
eyes are gray and very large. Her lips
and cheeks are vivid scarlet,.and she has
shining red-brown hair. Mrs. Davis de
signs all of her own costumes. She ap

a classic Grecian drapery of white «l*r
brocade, with a gold fillet about her
head and glittering gpld snakes wound
about her arms. Her appearance is not
more charming than her manner. sj"
is always pleasant and always cordial,
and there is something sympathetic*
about her.
Mrs. Senator Hearst, of California, is
celebrated for being the most elaborate
entertainer at the capital. This season
her house is closed on account of her hus
band's serious illness. But usually her
home is filled with guests, and she main
tains what more nearly approaches it
sa
lon than any other woman in this coun
try. She has during the past few sea
sous presented a number of beautiful
girls from the Pacific coast to Washing
ton society, all of whom have been wel
comed as valuable acquisitions. Mrs.
Hearst is yet in the prime of life, a hand
some woman, whose smile is always
ready and whose welcome to her magnifi
cently appointed house is always kindly.
MRS. STANFORD.
Another type of the California woman
is Mrs. Leland Stanford. Her manner
is very quiet, but her hospitality is as
genuine as that of Mrs. Hearst. Mrs.
Stanford is a woman who is very much
interested in her less fortunato sisters.
Many a struggling journalist or artist
who has gone to Washington for the
purposo of making a reputation and a
living owes her success to the kindness
and friendship of Mrs. Stanford. Sheis
not a woman who follows closely the
caprices of fashion. I have seen her at
recjpptions more than once wearing a
gown that was in mode some years
ago. But she is always handsomely
dressed and has magnificent jewels. It
gives her more pleasure, however, to ren
der assistance to a woman who is strug
gling for a livelihood than to consider the
cut of lier gown.
Among the ladies of the cabinet there
are three who come from the west,
though none of theia was born there.
Mrs. Miller, the wife of the attorney
general, whose home for some years has
2
MHS
FULLER.
been in Indiana, is a native of Ken
tucky. Mrs. Noble, whose present home
is St. Louis, was born in the far south.
And Mrs. Rusk, wife of the agricultural
secretary from Wisconsin, was born in
the state of New York. So that these
ladies, although their husbands are rep
resentatives of the west, can hardly be
called western women.
The wife of Chief Justice Fuller, of
the supreme court, claims Chicago as
her birthplace. She was married there
twenty-five years ago, and Chicago has
always been her home until her hus
band was appointed to his present posi
tion. Mrs. Fuller may be properly
called a remarkable woman. She is-cer
tainly an interesting one. She is a
woman of affairs—domestic affairs. So
cially she is clever and bright, and she
is vastly popular. Bnt her home, her
husband and her family are foremost in
her mind perpetually. While they are
hi a satisfactory condition she enjoys
discharging her social obligations, but
in the case of illness in her home, no
matter, how slight, social considerations
are relegated to the background,
she becomes the careful nurse sym
pathetic comforter. She does all of her
own marketing. Her carriage is well
known at the. old Central market. She
gives a reason for this. She says her
children—they are grown children—re
quire wholesome food, and that while
it might be possible for another to pro
cure it, there can be no question of
doubt about it if she procures it bendf.
Further, she is a counsellor'oftan sought
by her husband, and not on minor
ques­
tions. The chief justice gives to her
judgment on grave matters the highest
consideration.
Besides these there are the wife of the
recently appointed Judge Brown from
Detroit lbs. Senator Mitchell, framOre

origin, who are Lutherans. The
Scandinavian settlements are found
in the northern half of the county
and along the beautiful Wild Rice
river. The Scandinavian people are
in a marked degree a religious peo
ple, brought up in the fear of the
Lord and in the Lutheran persuasion,
to which they, as a rule, faithfully
adhere. Truly and beautifully Ims
one of their great poets in Norway
said that "the church stands in the
peasant's thought in a high place,"
the truth of which manifests itself
even here in the far west and in this
county. There are, at present, no
less than twelve Lutheran church
organizations in this county, and
traveling through the Norwegian
settlements you will see fine church
buildings loom up in every direction.
Before 1870 there were no organ
ized Lutheran churches in the county,
but the Scandinavian settlers on the
Wild Rice and elsewhere were vis
ited by Lutheran missionaries, sent
out by the wide awake Norwegian
Synod. From 1870-80 not a few
congregations were organized attu
resident Lutheran ministers took up
the work. These pioneer congrega
tions have subsequently been divided
for convenience sake and new ones
have been organized.
In the northeastern part of the
county, the Pleasant Evangelical
congregation was organized as early
as 1872. The same year Rev. Mr
Dellestvedt, connected with tho Nor
wegian Synod, received and accepted
a call to the pastorate of this church,
which since his removal has been
servad by Revs. Faerde, Bale and
Wisnes, the latter being its present
pastor. This congregation owns a
fine church and parsonage.
South Pleasant congregation in
tho towships of Walcottand Colfax,
was organized in 1880 by Rev. R.
Wisnes, who has since served as
pastor. Twenty-seven families be
long to this church. In 1890 a fine
church building was erected, which,
as it now stands, cost somewere be
tween two and three thousand dollars.
Walcott congregation was organ
ized in December, 1889, with twenty
six families. Southwest of Walcott
village in the same township another
congregation is found which is called
tho Dovre congregation. Rev. It.
Wisnes is the efficient pastor of all
these congregations.
Going up the Wild Rice as far as
the village of Dwight, we notice four
fine church buildings, some of which
are beautifully situated on the Rice.
The Richland congregation, in the
town of Eagle, was organized by
Rev. C. Wold of Fargo in 1879, start
ing with about twenty families. The
pioneer trustees are said to have
been, Knut Flaa, John Lium and
Elias Johnson. The present minister
is Rev. Wold, lately of Fergus Falls,
Minnesota. The growth of the con
gregation has been steady and the
number of families now connected
with it Is said to be between 35 and
40. The church and parsonage
located on the Wild Rice, are valued
at $4000.
Immanuel's congregation at the
village of Abercrombie was organ
ized in December, 1890, by members
of an earlier church at that place,
and some outsiders. Over twenty
families are already members of the
new congregation. Messrs. B. Hal
lum, John Bakken and Paul Stetmoe
were elected trustees. It is rumored
that this new congregation intends
to build a church-in the near future.
Rev. Wold is the pastor.
Bethania congregation, in the
township of Abercrombie, was organ
ized in 1880, some fifteen families
becoming members. Now, over
thirty families belong to this church.
Present trustees are, Erick Stafne,
Ingebrit Olson and Andreas Hanson.
In 1884 a neat little church was built
at a cost of about $2000. Rev. J. J.
Heie has charge of the church at
present.
Three miles farther south we come
to St. John's church, which is one of
the oldest Lutheran congregations in
the county. Commencing with fif
teen families at the time it was or
ganized in 1873, it has now more
than thirty families. The pioneer
trustees were P. L. Johnson, Erick
Hoel and Nels Thompson, and the
present trustees are K. L. Johnson,
John Void and John Fosmarck. In
82 a fine church was built, which
cost about 92000, and somewhat later
this Congregation joined hands with
the Lutherans at Dwight and put up
a commodious parsonage beautifully
located on the Wild Rice, in the
township of Abercrombie.
The congregation at Dwight, or
ganized a little later than St. John's,
is undoubtedly the strongest Luth
eran congregation in the county. At
the. village of Dwight it has a fine
chili oh building, which was dedicated
in November, 1890. This church is
said to have cost upwards of 94000.
Between forty and fifty families are

ATOUDS OF WISDOM
From a leading Pioneer of the Red
River Valley, and a Man who
has Tested the Virtues of
1
this tireat Soil.
ARBOR GROVE, March 7,1891.
To the Editor of The Wahpeton Times:
UT YOU ASK
to know what I
think of North
Dakota and the
Red River Val
ley. This coun
try is all right!
I came to the
Red River Val
ley in 1859, and
ttfSg settled on my
present farm five miles north of
Breckenridge in 1868, and can say I
have done well. I have raised wheat
(and stock also) and in all that time
I have not had a failure of crop.
In twenty years my average of wheat
has been twenty-two bushels to the
acre, and further, I think the country
that will produce that yield for that
length of time, will do to hang to.
Stock of course has been low for
the last few years, but it will pay to
keep stock in connection with grain
farming. In order to keep up the
fertility of the soil, we must manure
and farm better than we do. I notice
a good many farmers getting poor
in haste to .rich, by doing their
work in a slipsiiuu manner I have
never known of a better o^'uitry
where a careful and industrious ni
could make an independent home at
farming more easily than ho can here.
I know of men that came here twelve
and fifteen years ago who had not
money enough to purchase one thous
and feet of lumber, and to-day they
have fine farms well stocked and all
payed for. Since I came into the
valley we have had three terms of
dry weather, in the years of '0:3 and
'64 and again in '75 and '70 and our
present two dry seasons. But I am in
hopes our dry spell is over and that
North Dakota and the Red River valley
will bloom again in splendor as it
has heretofore. And from my ex
perience I have all faith in North
Dakota and especially the Red River
valley. Yours Rrspecttully,
E. CONNl!r,LY.
WHAT FARMIXU MEANS.
A Desciiiptioii of Ihe Superb liclcmlale
Farm, Doing Such Magnificent Ser
vice in Showing up Richland
County's Advantages.
-UIE HELEN
DALE Farm is
in the noitwest
corner of Rich
land county, and
on account of
its varied nat
ural character
istics and ad
a a is
looked upon as
one of the best in the county. It
has an area of some 6000 acres, and
is a combination of upland prairie of
gently undulating surface, level bot
tom, open and wooded land, together
with some rolling hilly tracts dotted
over with scattering oak, especially
well adapted for summer grazing.
The evil is a light sandy loam better
adapted to the culture of grasses,
corn, vegetable and forage crops, than
for wheat. Yet liy careful and intel
ligent cultivation the wheat crops
average fully up to those of the
richer lands of the valley.
The farm is devoted principally to
the business of live stock for winch
it is by its natural features particu
larly well adapted, being well
watered by the Slieyenne river
through the whole tract, and every
one of its ten sections having on it
living springs and running brooks.
The natural divisions of the farm
show some 1500 acres of tillable,
land, 1000 acres of heavy timber,
500 acres meadow, 1000 acres of roll
ing and hilly pastures with more or
less scattering timber aiul the balance
undulating open prairie grazing
lands. Tho general topographical
features of Ilelendale are character
istic of this part of tho Slieyenne
river valley country, making it so
attractive and so well adapted to
general farming.
Some 600 acres of the farm are
under cultivation in mixed crops of
wheat, oats, barley, rye, field and
fodder corn and millet. From the
pasture lands, there is now nearly
2000 acres divided into fields of
various size, requiring in all about
15 miles of fence.
Tho buildings,seventeen in number,
are unpretentious in style, but neat,
nicely painted, well built and* con
veniently arranged for the need or
the farm. They consist of a snug
comfortable dwelling, ice house,
blacksmith and workshop, granary
with storage capacity of some 16,000
bushels of small grain machinery
and wagon shed, poultry house,
smoke house, engine house and nine
stock barns of various sizes, quitea
little picturesque village as they
show their drab sides and red roofs
through the groups of trees sur
rounding them.
The live stock of Helendale is the
French draft horse, shorthorn cattle,
Shropshire sheep and Berkshire hogs.
The owner, Col. J. B. Power is a
native of Columbia county,- New
York, commenced operations at Hel
enaale in the spring of 1880, with
every faith that a farm of this kind
could be made as successful here as
in any part of the United States. It
is the pioneer stock farm of North
Dakota, and Richland county is
proud of Helendale, for it is doing
more to advance the material inter
ests of the state than all its wheat
farms, by demonstrating in a prac
tical way the advantages of our soil
and climate for diversified farming.
The northwestern part of Richland
county, embracing the towships of
Ilelendale, Barrio, Sheyenne and
West End is especially well suited
for stock of all kinds and dairying,
more or less timbered, affording good
shelter both winter and summer,
well watered, the native grasses rich
and nutritious and a large propor
tion of natural meadow. The soil is
a light, quick sandy loam on which
can be grown large crops of corn and
all forage crops, besides all the
smaller grains.
There is no better section in North
Dakota for new settlers wanting a
place for the dairy and stock business
than these townships.
An Attractive Bride*

DR. J. v. QUICK.
Is a native of New Jersey, but
graduating from Philadelphia Col

graduating from Jefferson Medical
College, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
entered the U. S. army as surgeon in
'85, and being sent into the Missouri
river country, came out of the army
in '86, and direct to Wahpeton and
entered into partnership with Dr.
Swnine, which lasted till '89 when
they dissolved, since which time Dr.
Quick has been alone and is to-day
tho oldest resident physician in the
county, and has built up a large prac
tice. The doctor has commodious
handsome offices over Jamison &

T1IE BALL OF THE COUNTY.
These notes were kindly furnished
by our friend Sunderhauf
The bench of the Fourth Judicial
district of the state, being composed
of the aoanties of Btchhmd, Sargent#
Ransom Dickey and Mcintosh is
occupied by the
HON. W. S. LAUDER.
Who was elected to this responsi
ble position in '89. William S
Lauder is a native of Orleans county,
N. Y., where he was born February'
9th, 1856. Judge Lauder was raised
on a farm in Wisconsin, whence his
parents had removed in 1857 he re
ceivejl a common school education
until he was 18 years of age, attended
thereafter the St. Croix Collegiate
Institute, graduating in 1874. After
teaching school for a number of
terms in Pierce and St. Croix counties,
Wisconsin, he began the study of
law in the office of the Hon. Welling
ton Vannatta, at River Falls, that
state, and was admitted to the prac
tice of law in '79. He located at
Wahpeton in '81 and from the begin
ning took a prominent place among
the legal fraternity, not only of the
county, but also of the then Territory
of Dakota. His ability and worth
were soon recognized by his fellow
citizens and in '82 he was elected
judge of probate, district attorney in
'84, re-elected for the latter position
in '88, sent to the constitutional con
vention in '89, and finally placed
upon the bench. Since the judge left
the arena of the advocate, he wisely
concluded to leave the political arena,
and he has since then bent all his
energies to the making of a model
judge. He is a man of high literary
attainments and well versed in most
branches of modern knowledge,
studious and conscientious, by nature
endowed with a splendid memory,
and in fact just the man to give
satisfaction in the position which he
now holds. In politics Judge Lauder
is a republican, althouph he does not
subscribe to the tariff platform of
that party.
S. II. SNYDER
Is just now on the Pacific coast,
and wyiue unable to get facts needed
for this mention. Bitk AIrr Snyder
graduated at the head of hisXJjass
from the Law Department of the
State Uniyersity, Iowa, and came
soon thereafter to Wahpeton in '81.
In '86 he was elected district attorney
for Richland county, and was again
re-elected in '90. Mr. Snyder is one
of the best lawyers in the state,
attends strictly to business, and is
doing a large practice.
HON. WILLIAM E. TUKCELL
Is more familiarly known as "Doc"
Purcell all over North and South
Dakota—from the Turtle Mountains
down to the Black Hills and from the
Missouri to the Mississinpi. IIo was
born in Hunterdon county, New
Jersey, August 3rd, 1858, spent his
younger days on the farm of his
father, received a good common school
education and in '76, commenced the
study of law in the office of the Hon.
John M. Voorhees, of Flemington,
New Jersey. In '80 he was admitted
to the practice of law in his native
state and in the same year, with his
sheep skin in his pocket he turned
his course westward and located in
this city, where he has since been
successfully engaged in the practice
of his profession. In '84 he was
elected county attorney, in 1886 city
attorney of Wahpeton President
Cleveland appointed him U. S. dis
trict attorney for the territory of
Dakota in '88—which position he
resigned upon a change in the ad
ministration.. In '89 he was elected a
member of the constitutional conven
tion, where, with Judge Carland he
was one of the most prominent ele
ments of that body and in '90 he
was appointed states attorney for
Richland county, holding this posi
tion till January 1st, '81, since
which time he says he has gone out
of politics. He is a lawyer of recog
nized ability and there is hardly ever
case of any consequence on the
court calendar in which the name of
W. E. Purcell does not appear on
one side or the other. As a citizen
he has at all times been foremost to
assist in the promotion of any enter
prise calculated to be of benefit to
the community, and has ever labored
for the interest of his fellow citizens.
He affiliates with the Democratic
arty and stands high in its counsels,
tie is at present associated in business
with his brother
RICNARD R. PURCELL,
Who was also born in Hunterdon
county, New Jersey in the year 1862.
Ho came to Dakota in '83, was ad
mitted to the bar in '87 and has ever
since been in the office of his brother,
taking charge of the entire business
in times of absence of W. E. Purcell,
especially when the latter was U. S.
attorney and by neoessity often away
in different parts of the territory.
R. 11. Purcell has had as extensive a
schooling in the practice of law as
any young man might wish for, and
it is predicted that in the future,
when he "hangs out his shingle" this
pratice and experience will be mani
fest. He expects to soon take a trip
to the Pacillc coast in quest of a loca
tion and should he locate out there,
will ever have the best wishes of his
many Richland county friends.
