SUSPECTED SPO
Mandan Times: It is• suspected that
two lady elocutionists who have been
giving alleged entertainments recently
along the main line of the Northern Pa
cfic are spotters employed by the com
y. They did not travel together. buf
both struck this neighborhood about
the same time. The plan seemed to be
to visit a small town, give an entertain
ment and then try to get out 011 a Freigb
train not allowed to carry passengers.
The females not being particularly at
tractive it is not believed that they
caught any of the boys on this divi

TO EXTRACT A SPLINTER.
Here is something worth knowing:
When a splinter has been driven deeply
into the hand it can be extracted with
out pain by steam. Nearly fill a wide
mouthed bottle with hot water, press
fhe injured part over the mouth and
press tightly. The suction will draw
the flesh down and in a mmute or two
the steam will extract the splinter and
inflsupmation together.

The county commissioners met in
regular quarterly session in the county
auditor's office this morning. The full
board is present. The morning hours
were devoted to auditing and paying
the salary bills and looking over other
claims against the county. The court
house insurant bag, $lso been UP for
discussion.*
The matter of constructing a new
courthouse had not been discussed by
the board up to 2:30 this afternoon and
it is quite likely that this matter will not
be taken up before tomorrow or Thurs
day. The opinion seems to prevail that
tBe commissioners will rebuild the new
burned annex and make this do for as
many officers as possible at present. In
this event it is quite probable that the
new building, as contemplated uy the
board, will be added to the annex. A
number of farmers in town today, who
arc among the co.nnty's heaviest tax
payers expressed the opinion that the
old ruins should be entirely torn away
and a complete new building should be
constructed ten COit iiot! less than

Osnabrock,^ ?D., Nbjt, 30,-^f'b The
Forum: Osnabrock is a close competi
tor of Langdon in many business lines
and it is well up to its more ambitious
neighbor as a grain market and trade
centeri
During the past year 'many improve
ments have been made, among them the
qrection of a very deat opcrahouse at a
cost of $7,000. The tipper story will
be utilized for offices and lodge rooms.
The necessity for building seemed so ap
parent from a public point of view, that
a joint stock company was formed to
carry out the project and a few weeks
since, the opening was commemorated by
a reception and dance.
We were indebted to Editor Fred A.
Bailey of The Osnabrock Independent
for courtesies rendered. Mr. Bailey was
ah old time employe of The Forum and
has been quite successful' in his new
field. He states that the business of the
city is increasing every year and a look
through the large business houses, would
seem to confirm his prediction.
Tony Och. the able manager of the
Bohmer Mercantile Co., reports business
active for the merchants and the volume
nf trade large—claims Osnabrock to be
(Tie second best town in Cavalier County
ahd a good place to do business in.
'W. J. McAllen is busy with a large
stock of holiday goods, but takes time
to ride all the lodge goats and roll logs
for the Woodmen.
The roller mills have a capacity of
1,00 barrels per day and manufacture a
good grade of flour.

."•••- to the Pronto
H.afegdon.' N. D.. Note. The
Fjortitn: Cavalier County has justified
every prediction made by your corres
pondent last February as to probable
development in agricultural and busi
ness lines and while the crop yields
this year will not be up*to the standard
of previous years in volume, the aver
age is far in excess of the central sec
tions of the state.
Last year Langdon marketed 1,500,000
bushels of grain, Osnabrock i,ooo,cco
and Milton a close third. The receipts
stated by President Hill of the respec
tive offices, not including these ship
ments were. Langdon $157,000, Osna
brock $1105.000 and Milton $92,000. This
season it will hardly be so great
Langdon hais made many improve
ments on material lines the past year,
in addition to a large number of fine
residences.
The management of the new three
story brick hotel, the Great Northern,
celebrated its completion, Thanksgiv
ing eve by a largely attended banquet
^and bill. The guests numbered 400
'and the proprietors. Hanke and Flum
inerfeldt, are to be congratulated' on
the success of their enterprise, which
gives Langdon one of its most sub
stantial hotels at a cost of $17,000.
The Columbia Hotel, under Colonel
Monroe, gave the guests one of the
finest,Thanksgiving dinners imagin
able,
The operahouse, not yet completely
-finished, will have cost, with furnish
ings, $34,000. It is an ornament to the
city and reflects credit on the enter
prise Of its founders. Cities like Far
#0 and Grand Forks may have better
ones, but in 110 other portion of the
state can one find such a model, so ad
mirably adapted for the purpose, in all
its appointments. Langdon should be
able to attract a fine class of plays.
Hon. D. H. McMillan, stafce treas
urer, resides in Langdon and is promi
nently identified with banking and otn
er business interests in Cavalier Coun
ty. He regretted very much to be the
instrument in Resting the validity of the
institution bond acts, but thinks, if was
tt the interest of every citizen to have
3?ie question, construed by °tbe courts,
thus doing away with an uncertainty.
Lingdon with so many good sub
stantial business blocks will soon have
tflrtaekle the waterworks and sewerage

LIBBY LECTURE SATURDAY.
•An laterejrtfog Lecture Will Be Here S*t-
F. J. Irtiompson, Librarian! Satur
day afternoon, Dec. 5., beginning at 3
o'clock, Professor Libby, of the Uni
versity of North Dakota will give his
famous lecture on birds in the Blue
Lodge room of the Masonic Temple.
The lecture will be illustrated by ster
eoptican views by Dr. S. J. Hill. The
lecture is particularly for^the children,
but press notices incficatre that the par
ents have enjoyed it as much as the
children. Professor Libby has been in
duced to come to Fargo to contribute
to the interest of the children's story
hour which Rev. Elinor Gordon has so
kindly undertaken for the purpose of
outlining and starting the young pa
trons of the public library in the way
of right, instructive and proper read
ing.
Too many of the dlder people know
that much of their own time, especially
in youth, has been thrown away on
reading that was aimless and not ap
propriate for their years. It is to avoid
this error and waste of time, that these
weekly story hours have been under
taken, and this lecture is right in line
with our purpose.
No admission will be charged.1
In order to carry on the work it is
necessary that the children be furnish
ed suitable books, and at present the
library is able to furnish only a small
part of what we should have. During
the course of the lecture an opportun
ity will be given, to those who feel in
terested in the work, to contribute
something for the purchase of children
books for the public library.
We hope to sec the lecture well pat
ronized
tyx
the children, inl pairents,
if they desire to attend.

CHANGES'iN ARpf UNIFORMS.
The quartermaster general of the
army is at work- oft-some important
changes in the army uniform. One is
the substitution of- metal for cloth
chevrons on the sleeves of the enlisted
men's uniforms. It is found practically
impossible to find a color of cloth
which will not fade. The metal chev
ron Will be fastened to" the sl^vt* aMd
will be detachable. The samples on ex
jhibition. of bronze, are much smaller
than the old^loth ones and much more
attractive. Ahother innovation is the
introduction of p. so-called "V" in the
breast near the collar of the toat of
the field uniform. This tailor's device
contributes to the appearance- and
comfort of the garment. It is also pro
posed to change the pockcts so as to
give them what is known as a bellows
effect, imparting greater capacity to
he peket. which will be "choked off"
at the top, so as to better protect the
contents of the pocket from loss.
The quartermaster general is also
considering the advisibility qf changes
in the campaign hat. The objection to
the present hat is that when it is wet
it becomes soft and does not retain its
shape. An ingenious device will prob
ably be adopted in the shape of a wov
en cord that will run through a perfor
ation in the rim on each side of the
crown. This cord will enable the
wearer of the hat to. secure it on his
head by bringing the cords into a knot
at the back of the neck, or, if he pre
fers. using the cord for the same pur
pose by bringing one end of it down to
a buttonhole. Hitherto, this security
has been obtained by means of a strap
sewed to'the lining of the hat with the
result that the strap was continually
breaking away from the hat and rend
ering itself a nuisance rather than a
thing of use.
Returnig voyagers from. England
bring back this story, told by H. Clay
Evans, consul general at London: An
American from Buffalo went abroad.
He visited Paris and afterward fell on
London, where he boasted of his
knowledge of Parisian customs, meals,
wines, pictures and everything else the
traveler sees and gets. "Of course,"
said Evans, "you enjoyed some pom
mes de terre in Paris?" "Not at all—
not at all," replied the man from Buf
falo. "My wife is traveling with me."
