On Christmas night in the I. O. O. F.
hall at Hunter, N. D., occurred the
first golden wedding ever celebrated
in this village. The bride and groom
were Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Williams,
aged respectively 75 and 67 years.
The celebration was planned by Mrs.
C. F. Schnell and Mrs. E. Dutton, and
was a complete surprise to the elder
ly couple, whose first intimation of the
event was the arrival of the carriage
sent to take them to the hall. After
an address by Rev. Murchison and the
"Sylverton Farm."
On a farm near Churchs Ferry lives
W. W. Barrett, who has collected more
-curiosities and information about the
state of North Dakota than any other
man in it in ail probability. His
farm is called "Sylverton" and here
he is passing the evening of his life
in gratifying his taste for the curious
and interesting in horticulture, or
nithology, geology, and a dozen other
things. He has rooms filled with
curiosities. Every kind of timber
which is a native to the state is
shown by specimens in the natural
condition and after it is dressed.
Glass cases contain samples of the
seed of every variety of plant that
grows native or can be cultivated
within our borders. Nests and eggs
of the birds of the state, both those
which remain the entire year and
those which pass to and fro through
it in their annual migrations, form a
collection worth hundreds of dollars.
A collection of stones large enough
to build a small church, show the
glacial workings of every movement
of the great fields of ice which plow
ed the plains now furnishing bread
for the world.
A visit to "Sylverton" in the sum
mer time will give an opportunity
•'& to see more varieties of vegetables,
fruits and flowers under cultivation
than can be seen at any other farm.
Many of these are experiments. Ap
AoJ ple« as strong and healthy as those
&V.
at
Michigan, have been planted and
are being trimmed in a variety of
ways to see if the hot suns of sum
mer are not responsible for the death
of so many apple trees, rather than
the cold of winter. Alternate trees
are being trimmed so as to shade their
own bodies and if they survive whfle
the others die, Mr. Barrett will have
demonstrated a theory that he has
had for. years. Rows of evergreens
.prove that these trees can .be ac
climated without loss of beauty or
danger of death. There is probably
qo other similar private collection or
experimental farm In the state.

I presentation of many beautiful and
useful gifts, the aged couple arose
and renewed the vows made fifty
years ago with as much earnestness
as when they were first taken.
After the ceremony the company re
tired to the banquet hall, the eldest
guests leading the way, and a light
supper was served. Each guest then
wrote their names in the wedding
guest book and the company returned
to their homes, wishing Mr. and Mrs.
Williams many happy returns of the
day.
Theodore Williams was born in
Mentor, Ohio, May IS, 18.10 on Dec.
25, 1855, he married Esther Anna
Clark of Prairie Road, Mich. To this
union six children were born, three
of whom are still living. Immediate
ly after their marriage they removed
to Iowa, where they lived for three
years, then they returned to Michi
gan, where they lived until 24 years
ago, when they came to the vicinity
of Hunter, where they now reside.
Mr. and Mrs. Williams are among
the oldest citizens of Hunter, and this
gathering was but a token of the love
and esteem in which they are held
by the people of Hunter.

friends. The dinner was given, and
at its close the wife arose to read the
list of the husband's personal expen
ses for the year. When the first entry,
"For beer $2.," was read the laughter
was uproarous, But as she .proceed
ed and nearly every day brought forth
such an entry the merriment knew no
bounds. Cigar bills, because of the
joke are now being entered as "mis
cellanous" in the book for the current
year.
The Joke Turned.
At Minot the other day a crowd of
"hail fellows well met" were taking
in the sights of the western metro
polis. Among them was a practical
joker, a husky, fellow who was every
where proclaiming the fact that he
could whip any man in Minot and ask
ing those who desired to accept the
challenge to call on the name given
at a certain place. The name was
that of another member of the party,
who was noted for his peaceful dis
postition, and his room, which was
the place given by the joker, was soon
filled with a crowd of belligerent men,
and for a time it looked serious for
the mild mannered man. The truth
finally came out, and a pugilistic
member of the assembled crowd was
selected to turn the tables on the jo
ker. He was pointed out by another
member of the party, who was next,
and when he protested that the name
which was that of the former chal
lenger, was not his, half a dozen wit
nesses decided they had known him
for months and that the identity was
certain, whereupon the man»selected
for that purpose proceeded to admius
ter a chastisement according to
Queensbury rules.
When the joker got out of the hos
pital, he was required to pay for an
entire evening of amusement for the
crowd in order to keep the story from
reaching his home.
Old But Good.
Smith and Jones were two traveling
men. Every 60 days for the last two
years, with' almost unfailing regular
ity, they had met and smoked and con
versed in the dark and dusty little
office of Brown's hotel in ville.
Perhaps because in these numerous
conversations they had threshed
threadbare every other subject, they
today argued as to the relative thor
oughness of the religious trainging
each had received in youth. Said
Smith, as the argument waxed warm,
"Why, when I left Sunday school to
take up league work, I knew my cate
chism by heart from' beginning to
end."
"That's nothing," growled Jones.
'When I wag confirmed I could say
the church catechism from beginning
to end and say it -backward, to say

Dr. William Krauts, in the Journal
sf Nervous and Mental Diseases, de
icribes the case of a 'Polish herdsman,
I? year* of age, weighing 230 pounds,
who, some months previous to an so.
eident, had suffered from apoplexy re.
suiting in left hemiplegia. He ''was
•lowly recovering the use of his arm
and leg when he was struck by a
train, and was found unconscious on
the track, with scalp wounds. There
was a depressed fracture of the
skull three inchcs above and one inch
behind the left ear. He was imme
diately trephined and the depressed
bone removed.
At ten o'clock at night he began ta
whistle, not, however, the "popular
songs of the day," but the whistle
calls he was accustomed to use in
calling or driving his flocks. He
would continue whistling for about
one minute, then would cease for five
or ten minut«s, and kept this up at
regular intervals until he died, Jan.
nary 3, 1896, at 10:30 o'clock p. m. At
no time was it possible to distinguish
any melody. The sounds were of the
same pitch and intensity and of the
same character. They were audible
throughout the ward and attracted
the attention of patients and attend*
ants. To the physicians in attend*
ance it was a strange experience to
hear those whistle" calls coming from
a patient in a state of unconscious,
ness. It was impossible to rouse the
patient at any time before or after
the accident, and he died, whistling
a few minutes before death.

Dr. ft. Osgood Mason, in Ladies' Home

ing to a narrow and dangerous path
close to the river, his brother-in-law
cautioned him to go carefully in the
darkness. Janicaud, with some scorn,
declared that he could see the better

monet if he could see the match under
his foot, and, sure enough, there was
the match. It was a dark night, jtnd

which would have wasted away the
yreater portion of the estate of $30,
000 left by Miles Kennedy, an old and
well-known settler on the Northwest
side. The older Kennedy left the en
tire estate to William, his youngest
eon, his four other children being cut
off with small bequests of no intrin
sic value.
The will was admitted to probate
by Judge Batten. Those who had
been disinherited were: Mrs. Mary
A. Brown, Emma Kennedy, and Mrs.
Frances Liston, daughters, and John
M. Kennedy, a son. These heirs filed
notice of appearance to contest the
will. The contest would hare tnrned
on the mental condition of the old
man previous to his death," and it
was expected that nearly all the old
settlers' in the north West part of the
city would be called to testify. In
stead, however, an order of settlement
will be entered and the contest will
never be heard.
"Whatever father riiay have thought
about it, I believe the rest of the fam
ily are as much entitled to this prop
erty as I am," the legatee told former
Judge Batten a week ago. "I'd rather
have the good will of my brother and
sisters than the money, anyway."
The various members of the Ken*
aedy family met and deed* were re
sented.'giving one-fifth «f the estate
to each of the four children who bad

TO GIVE BETTER TRAIN SERVICE.
Great Northern te Install Mew Sejni*
ule on Aaeta Breach.
Fergus Falls, Minn., Jan. 7.—A new
time card, affecting the local train
on this division of the Great Northern
railway, is to go into effect in a Short
time. This local train has for years
been running, between St. Paul and
Fargo, and its run is now to be ex
tended to Aneta, N. D., thus giving
th# people.
living along the Aneta
branch a service, for which they have
been earnestly petitioning. To reach
the Aneta branch the train will be
run from Fargo to Casselton over the
traces of the Northern Pacific. The
running time of the train will be
somewhat faster than at present, and
a dining car will be added to the
equipment, thus mtting out the stops
for meals.
Ticket Auditor a Busy Man.
The new ticket auditors of tho
Great Northern are ceasing to be ob
jects of curiosity. They have been
running regularly on One and Two.
Five and Six, and "Nine and Ten for
the past several days. While they are
"not yet installed on the other trains
they will be in a few days. In addl
tion to his duties as a ticket auditor,
the new official must assist the con
ductor when not otherwise engaged
in greeting passengers and assisting
thent onto trains, etc. In going
through the coaches to audit tickets,
he must be accompanied by either the
conductor or brakeqian. This gives
the conductors.a chance for delegating
their powers to the brakie of which
they avail themselves,
A 'ew itepot for Devils Lake.
Plans have been completed by the
Great Northern for a new depot at
Devils Lake, and Louis Hill is said to
have assured some of the business
men of that city that one' in keeping
with the. needs of the town would be
built some time next year. The ex
tension of the Farmers' road from that
point, and the passenger traffic that
will come over it as one of the main
connecting links between the Soo and
the Great Northern main lines, makes
Devils Lake an important railroad
.town. The present depot has been out
grown for ten years, and the Great
NorthCTn has delayed the building of a
new one until it could detremine the
importance of the town. That time
seems to have arrived.
Rode on Platform.
Anyone who does not believe that
this is the greatest state for its age
on earth should sit up and listen to
some of the stories told, by the travel

which sometimes prevail. The vendor

Crookston last fall and in spite of the
fact that No. 6 waB running with nine
day coaches, he could get no further
than the platform and rode there un
til he reached Fisher befpre he could
even gain admission to the car. The
aisles were jammed so that the doors
could be opened only with .difficulty
and the conductor simply coura not get
through to perform his duties. .,
