INTKKTAINMKNr IN gVIBDKDP.
Washburn was well represented at the
.entertainment at Hverdrup school house
No. 1, on Wednesday evening April 10th.
Notwithstanding the fact that the weather
looked down npon ns in rather a threaten
ing manner, we found the sehool house
full enough for comfort.
The exercises as annonneed in program
commenced promptly at 8 o'olock, and
we opine that there was quite a number
of surprised men and women in that house
before the exeersises ended. To say that
the entertainment was a success,- fails to
express Our views npon the subject. The
management seemed to be as perfect as it
could be under the circumstances and the
pnpils did themselves and their teacher
prond from the parting of the curtains
until their final close. The tfeeita tions and
dialogues, which followed one upon the
other without any loss of time, for two
honrs and fifteen minutes were chosen for
fnn as well as improvement and the audi
ence seemed to enjoy the performance to
the farthest limit known to man. After
the entertainment had ended happily for
concerned, we were invited by that prince
of good hearted fellows, Andrew Nelson,
to partake of a cup of coffee whioh metnt,
in this case, a substantial supper, and in
"we small hours'' of the morning wo drove
into Washburn, bringing with os' a
splendid opinion of the school and a very
warm spot in unr heart for its patrons.

Mi. Edison says he is making good pro

Bismarck Tribune, of ThursJav: The
funeral of the unfortunate Ida Reid oc
curred this afternoon from the apartments^
in which the suicide was committed. It
was a sight to excite sorrow and sympa
thy in the beholder—a lone hearse bearing
all that was mortal of the abandoned
woman to her last resting place. No
mourner followed the remains upon the
last solomn journey, and yet it was im
pressive in evidencing the very friendless
ness of the dead.
A dispatch from Tcpeba, Kan., of April
7 says: Thomas McDonald, without ap
parent provocation, shot and killed
Thomas Patton, near his home, in Winfield
May 0,1894. He was arrested and set np
a defense that he was under the hypnotic
influence of Anderson Gray. He wa6 ac
quitted and then Gray was found guilty
of murder in the first degree, notwith
standing that be was not present when the
crime was committed, the evidence for
the etate onlv going to show that he had
caused Mc Dodald to commit the murder
through hypnotic influence. An appeal
was takon to the Suprene Court, and, in
an opinion rendered to-day, tho ruling of
the lower court was sustained.
The Drunkard's Bill.
Among the interesting bills that passed
the just legislature and become a law the
