Bradseth's little daughter three or four years old had the misfortune to lose an eye the other day. It seems the girl and a little brother each had hold of a pair of sissors and were pulling for its possesion when the scis sors slipped from the hand of the little brother and struck the little girl in one eye putting it entirely out. Dr. Devine was called and sent the little suf ferer to Fargo for treatment, where the remains of the eye were removed and the wound dressed. Of course a glass eye will be put in later on. Too bad for the puor little child. The young man Wm.

The authori ties had been looking for the young man for some time. He is a native of the Transvaal, South Africa, and has a good education, speaks several lan guages, a first-class accountant and stenographer. But declar ed that he could not stand a stricken conscience, wanted to serve punishment for the deed, when he would go to his native land and help his fellow coun men in their fight for liberty. He seemed to be a bright, straightforward young man of good address and rather pre possing appearance. We hope that in case this was his first offense the judge will be as lenient as possible with him.

A BRILLIANT RECEPTION Tendered Rev. and Mrs. Barnes Last Friday Evening. That was a happy reception to Rev. and Mrs. Barnes at ttie home of Judge and Mrs. Wake field Friday everiirig of last week. Everybody was there, informally, during the evening, shook hands with a cordial word of greeting to the honored guests, partook of refreshments and passed a pleasant evening in the spacious parlors-of their esteemed host and hostess. In the course of the evening Judge Wakefield presented Mr. Barnes with a handsome easy chair in a neat address,as com ing from the recipients, many admiring friends. This was followed by Mrsi Judge Lauder in the presentation to Mrs. Barnes of a handsome chair and various articles of silver ware. Mrs. Barnes responded feelingl}', thanking their good friends for the tokens of good will. Mr. Barnes followed and after talking a few moments, illustrated his position by tell ing a Story about Pat O'York, who haying sustained a severe fall and being picked up with a query as to whether he was killed, replied that he wasn't killed but couldn't sphake. However, the reverend gentle man managed to show his house full of friends that his heart was in the right place and that he would always re member Wahpeton with the greatest possible esteem. A MONUMENT To be Erected to the Memory of George Schneller Company I Monument As sociation will give a dance in Schuler hall, Feb. 5th, the an niversary of the outbreak of the Phillipine rebellion, for the purpose of raising funds for a monument in memory of Geo. Schneller. This is a most worthy cause and every man ought to put in a dollar. As the Gazette said last week, any man giving up his life for old glory in the far away islands, deserves a monument 50 feet high. We don't pretend to say how high the monument to commemorate the late esteem ed young Wahpeton volunteer ought to be, but it ought to be as good as money will buy. It will be a privilege any man will esteem to give a dollar to this enterprise, and if the boys tire of giving entertainments for the monument, then let the county commissioners go into the county treasury and put up whatever is necessary. We would not waste a cent but the people of this community should not rest content till an everlasting monument is erect ed to the memory of this de serving Wahpeton boy. And thev won't. A Brilliant Retaliation The Lidgerwood Broadax publishes an article calling at tention to the fact that the commissioners the other day took no notice of the Globe's bid to do couuty printing 'at low rates—a mere bluff for talk ing'purposes, in counter action of what The Times did a year or two ago. Now if there is anything to be admired about the average Republican it is the persistency with which he demonstrates the fact that he is out for the "long green" and succeeds in getting it. In times past when the board used to be Demo cratic The Times fared very much as the other papers. No particular preferance was ever given it. If it published a tax list such divisions were de manded that the publication was of little benefit to this paper, and Demecrats demand ed this for the sake of peace and harmony. At the time The Timea pat in the low bid for printing the Globe had a special $1700 job beside the re gular work and The Times, for the purpose of teaching its Dem ocratic friends a lesson, timidly demanded of the Globe a little piece of that—$1700 and $800 worth of wor k—$2500 all told, and was promptly shut off, as we kuew would be the case. Then went in the bid, not to annoy anyone, not even parti cularly for talking purposes, but to teach Democrats a les son in the matter of patronage. That's why it was done. Indeed it would be a particularly stupid Democratic, under the cir cumstances, who would now demand a division with the fellows who so recently de manded everything in sight and got it. To tell the truth The Times is rather pleased than otherwise at the Globe's brilliant retaliation. County News SHEYENNE. To the Editor of The Times: Herman Erickson entertain ed the young people with a dance at his home on the l'ith. Tolef Hanson of Sheyenne and Andrew Erickson of Vikey are at Wahpeton doing jury work. Rumors are out again to the effect that we will get a rail road from Wyndmere going to Fargo. Mr. Lars Bratwald of Ashby, Minn., has been visiting with T. O. Hagen and family during the commencement of the new year. This time we will give a hur rah for The Wahpeton Times and our three Democratic com missioners who have made it again an official paper of the county. Thursday Jan. 18th Albert C. Brunsvold closed a very suc cessful four months term of school in school No. 3, all' the school officers were present and a large crowd of visitors. This time the school closed with reading, writing, mathematics on the blackboard, geography, civil government, etc., in re view of all they had studied during the term, instead of dialogues, declamations, etc. And we may say we never were more pleased at the closing of a school, because we could see and hear how the children had been employed during the term, which was more than satisfactory and better than our expectations. As a teacher Mr. Albert C. Brunsvold has proved to be probably the best in Richland county, and being a graduate from one of the best schools at Beloit, Wis. He has education enough to fill any place in a graded school. Mr. Brunsvold will commence school again for a term of four months in No. 2 .near E. Olson's on the 29th. SHY ANN. Unclaimed Letters.

These two steamers will be fol lowed by two others within a year, and will be able to carry freight so slow as to realize big profits and shutout compe tition. They will cost $3,000,000 each, and will also be fitted up for passenger service in the most palatial style. These steamers will be built on the Clyde and will have a speed of fourteen knots an hour.

It is the second annual session of the a& Bociatiou and tho indications are that the attendance will exceed that, of last yeur. Tin* promoters claim that if the farm ers will put- into practical use the sug gest i' ms brought out at the convention that with the same amount of labor and expense the yield of the wheat fields can be increased from one to three bush els an neve mid the grade raised at least a point.
