On Wednesday evening last, at tlie house of 0. H. Carpenter, Robert Wilson, Jr., was se verely cut by a kick from a horse which he was unhitching. Our "head's" off, but the body, bouo and muscle continue to "Hold the Fort." The "head" returned Thursday, and has assumed its natural position. Tuesday was a brisk day with our merchants. Farmers from all parts of tlie county, taking advantage of the lovely weather, came in town to do their shopping. We are informed through a reliable source that Mr^!. J. Paul will return to Hope shortly to settle up his business affairs preparatory to departing for "green fields aud pastures new." Messrs. August Cultuni, E. J. Rosto and A. K. Hundeby, of Norway school township, were I iu Hope during several days of this week on business connected with school bonds. There is rumor afloat to the effect that we are to have an independent elevator built in Hope this spring, (iood. Let it come. It will find an independent set of men reaijy to fill ils bins. Mr. Fred Rugg has put up building on Squire Lee's lot opposite Mr. I). P. Baldwin's store, in which to store oats. Mr. Rugg is pur chafing oats for his father who is expected to come out to Hope this spring. Owing to press of work last week we could not Insert the weekly report of the Hope public school. We endeavor to make amends by pub lishing in full this week the report for the three weeks ending February 20th. Mr. E. H. Badger received a letter from P. 0. Holt, at Newport. Vermont, a few days ago, stating that lie would not return to Hope this spring, and requesting Mr. Badger to forward his household goods. The goods were shipped last Tuesday. The citizens of Fargo are agitating tiie for mation of an artillery company. There is an armory appropriation for this purpose, which makes the project all the more feasible. Or ganize the company, boys, by all means. Dakota is always ready for a "boom," and cannons are just the thing to do it. We learn through letter recently received by Mr. B. M. Hervey that Mr. M. E. Fuller, brother of "Sid" Fuller, will leach Hope about the last of March with a car-load or stock and household goods. The Fullers are from Bloom ington, III. Mr. M. E. Fuller was in Hope a short time ago, and while here purchased some Steele county dirt, and intends to try farming in Dnkota. We learn that certain parties in Cooperstown are bringing evi ry inliuencu to bear to urge and assist Flittie Iu getting a bill passed disor ganizing Steele comity. Is it not time for those interested to be up and at worl We have drawn attention to the matter before. This is nothing more nor less than a scheme on the part of (iriggs county to compel tlie citizens ot Steele county to help pay the (iriggs county debt of between $110,000 and $70,000. We havespokou with numbers of citizens from the northern and other portions of Steele couuty, aud one and all express great indigna tion towards Flittie, aud even his Norwegian brethren say that should lie introduce the above bill they are done with him forever. We learn that Mr. E. N. Curl, of DesMoines, Iowa, who has a large farm near Hope, is en deavoring to'induce a friend of his, who has just sold out bis milling interests, to come to Hope. We truly hope Mr. Curl may be success ful. A mill is just what we need. Many people go from twelve and eigtheen miles north ami east of Hope ami from other parts of our county to Tower City auil Valley City to get their wheat ground, aud parties from vari ous parts of this and other counties patrouage these mills. Our farmers find that it is much cheaper to take their wheat to mill anil get good flour iu exchange than it is to sell tlleir wheat and buy eastern flour at the high prices asked. Let the mill coaie, by all means. It will be well-patronized. We hope we may hear something from Mr. Curl in regard to this matter. Parties have been transpiring in such rapid succession of late that it is almost impossible to keep track of them. The most, notable and likewise the most enjoyable of the winter were those given at. the Spear building by the young mens' club and at the Hope House by Landlord Myers on Washington's birthday. At the Spear building there were forty-one couples. Dancing was continued until about six o'clock in the morning. A livelier scene never was witnessed. A perfect floor, the best of music, and all hands full of enjoyment and good humor, there was nothing to mar the pleasure of the evening. At the Hope House, while there was not so large an at tendance, still everything went merrily, and, to judge by the broad smilo on friend John's jolly face, we guess that it was a financial success as well. Among thoso of our neighbors pres ent at these dances were Misses Susie an.i Cora Berry aud Miss Quick, of Page, and Miss Min nie Whisnand, of Rochester Messrs. Parks, Devereaux, Wallace and Gourley, of Page, I'. I H. Smith, of Fargo, H. (j. Correll, of Bismarck and William aud Theodore Whisnand of Roch ester. It will not do to overlook the most sub stantial part of the entertainment. The sup per furnished for the party at the Spear build ing was served up in a style that no one but Mr. Pepper aud his excellent wife understand. They have had many years' experience in the hotel business and kuow jost what the boys like.

Base Ilnll In Midwinter. The most closely contested gaineof base ball ever played on the dinuiond-field in Hope was that of Thursday, the 26th inst. A match Irad beeu talked of for some days previous between the oast and west end boys of Hope, and finally they coneluded to play on Thursday, if the day was pleasant. Thursday dawned bright and warm, with little wind, and by 2 o'clock the thermometer registered about 60 above zero. Tlie nines met 011 the ground about 2 p. 111., and immediately proceeded to choose up for innings, the Eastenders taking first inning, when the fun commeuced. It was agreed to play five inniugs. It was no soft glove contest. The boys went at it with bare hands and did some good playing. There were fifty or more pel-sons present who will liear witness to the fact that this is 110 newspaper story to mislead people, but an actual fact. What think you of a game of base ball being played iu North Dakota in midwinter—iu a country where it is generally supposed a man dare uot stick his nose outside the door of his house from the lie ginning of winter till spring? It was a close contest till near the close of the game, when, the east end lioyB claim, the weaker side won the sympathy of the umpire, aud the umpire won the game. Tho score stood 10 to 14 in favor ot the westenders. A match has been arranged between the same nines for $25 a side to be played on the 12th ot March, wind aud wealher being favorable.

Raymond, delegate in congress from Dakota, dieil at the Providence hospital this morning froin the effects of a sur gical operation performed last Monday. She had been an invalid for six years, and in that time three previous operations had been per formed. Yesterday afternoon it was thought she was getting better, and it was not until late in the evening that signs of the worst ap peared. Mrs. Raymond leaves three children, a boy of eighteen, and two girls of five and six. Her maiden namo was Mary Kilker, and her home was Indianapolis, Ind. Mr. and Mrs. Raymond were married in VickBburg, Miss., iu November, ISIlti. The nature of her malady was such that she had no expectation of living long unless by an operation she might be wholly cured. Knowing this, she bravely de oldert to take the chances at the hands of the surgeons. The first effects from the operation were such as to give her and her friends strong hopes of her ultimate recovery. Yesterday, Mr. Raymond was very cheerful in the hope and prospects of tills result. The funeral will lake place from the residence of Oscar Whitney, Rhode Island avenue, Sunday afternnoon, and the remains will be buried in Oak Hill ceme tery, Georgetown. Mrs. Raymond was very popular in Washington society, aud with her husband was a most liberal entertainer.—Pio neer I'rem Nperittl. From Crookgtoii to Fargo. Ckookston, Minn., Feb. 18.—Aschemo lias lieen talked of for some time of building rail road lino from Crookston to connect with the Fargo Southern at Fargo, aud it. has trans pired that lhove directly interested in its ac complishment met a few days since in secret conference. At the meeting Mr. T. li. Walker was appointed president of the company to bo formed. The, Hon. H. B. Sampson is largely interested iu tho. work, and by his suggestion money sufficient to have the route surveyed was raised. The survey will be made, and if tlie scheme is practical, right of way will be secured and articles of incorporatlou of the Crookston & Fargo Railroad compauy will bo arranged aud filed with the secretary of state. The chief interest in building this line is to ex tend the territory tributary to Crookston, aud have a route from Dakota over which wheat can be brought iu and lumber be shipped out of this city. TIiobo interested iu the enterprise say that should they secure right of way, either the Fargo Southern or Manitoba companies will buy them out. Tho distance 011 an air line between the two cities is eighty miles, the land being all prairie, which will allow a line to be built at a comparatively small cost jier mile.—St. Paul Globe., Special, Hope Public School.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—The adjournment of the Oregon legislature without electing a senator for the term beginning March 4, and the probability that a successor to Senator Logan will not he chosen when the senate convenes next month in extra session, has caused discussion as to the powors of the gov ernors of Illinois and Oregon to fill the vacan cies. Tim question arises, are these vacancies such as in tho meaning ot tlie constitution the executive of the states are authorized to till by appointment? The language of the constitu tion is: "Aud if vacancies happen by resigna tion or otherwise during the recess of the leg islature of auy state, the executive thereof may make temporary appointments until the next meeting ot the legislature, which shall then fill such vacancies." The most recent consid eration of this question by the senate occurred when Senator Bell was appointed by Governor Prescott of New Hampshire iu 1879 to fill the vacancy arising by the expiration of Senator Wadleigh's term of service. The case differs somewhat from all the precedents cited in it» consideration, as it involved another question, namely: Which of the two legislatures had the right to elect Senutor Wadleigh's successor? But the right of tlie governor to appoint in case of failure of the legislature to perform its duty, entered into the discussion that then took place. After a full consideration of the sub ject, Senator Bell was admitted by a vote of 35 to 28. The National Republican has made an examination of the precedents, and from these it appears that parties appointed by the gover nors of slates to fill vacancies, when the ap pointments were made after the vacancies oc curred, were admitted to seats in the senate. The legislature of Oregon having adjonrued without electing a senator, there can be no doubt, iu the light of precedent, that an ap pointment made by the governor of that state to the vacancy which occurs March 4 will he recognized by the Benate, and that the maH who may be appointed may lie admitted as a mem ber of that body. In the case of Illinois, it is doubtful whether an appointment can be made by the governor while the legislature is in ses sion, and the question of electiug a senator uuder consideration. SALEM, Ohio, Feb. 23.—Gov. Moody said to day he thought lie had a right to be indignant at. being placed in a doubtful and perplexing position through the neglect of the legislature to do its duty. He had not yet carefully exam ined the law, and so had not definitely deter mined what his duty in this emergency WHS. "But," he added, "I think that I shall appoint. This much, however, is certain: I shall not apiioint a senator till there is a vacancy, which does not occur till March 4. It would be im possible tor any man whom I could uame at tho time to arrive iu Washington to attend the short extra session, so, unless the new presi dent calls an extra session, there will bo no need of a senator till December. I shall lie iu no haste to fill the vacancy.—Pioneer Prene, Slice in I. Frank I.cMile'tt Popular Monthly for March is an unusually interesting number, combining as it does articles of present interest with those of permanent value it opens with a careful study by Leslie Lester of Madame Ris tori, with a portrait and several illustrations in character. Prof. Charles a Joy contributes an article 011 a Jersey Cattle-farm, aud Oscau yon furnishes au extremely interesting paper 011 "The Armenians." "The Story of Queen Matilda of Denmark aud Count Stuenzee" is a valuable historical contribution by F. St Johu Brenon, and "Something about Children's Books," with its quaint fac-simile illustration!, shows us the juvenilo literature loved by our grandpareuU when they were boys and girls. "Pate de Foio Gras," by Nugent Robinson, will appeal to the gourmet, and "Stateii Is land, its Past and its Present," by J. Barnitz Bacon, to the local antiquarian, while the nat uralitst will be equally interested iu "The Or igin of our Domesticated Animals," by the Rev. M. G. Watkins. The eminent traveler and author, David Ker, is represented by two arti cles, tlie one "A Meeting with Afghan Robbers," and the other "From Sebaslopol to Kief," both I thrilling and interesting. All these articles are fully illustrated. The serial story, "The Death-Mark," reaches its twenty-fifth chapter, and there are several short stories and some beautiful poems.

While the |itople of parts of Southern Dako ta are afflicted with malarial and typhoid fev ers, the citizens of North Dakota are enjoying the liest of health and spirits. Even the hard times do not disturb us. We hare no ailments of the body aud the mind is pure and fresh. The only sick people are the physicians—they being sick of their profession.

CAPITOL noiXGM. -tT'hi a farmers meeting brid in tiutopera house in Fargo on the 19th inst, the question of wheat gradee, railroad transportation tmd ele vators was discussed at length. A committee was appointed to wait upon tlie legislature and state their grievance?, with a view to pro curing future legislation in the matter. It is 10 be hoped the legislature will listen favora bly to their grievances, and that legislation will take such shape as to benefit the farmer. Under tlie present system of elevators, grades and railroad charges the farmer is entirely at the mercy of these monopolies. It is stated by the Chicago S'wt that Col. Peter Donnn, of Dakota, will undertake to "Hike the voyage from Chicago to New Orleans by way of the Chicago river and down South Fork to Fox river, thence to Bataria frog poud aud across Woubonsie slough to the Hennepin canal, and thence by the Mississippi river.
