The first two steamers in the county- in the SO's "went hump" financially.

Linton's dentist is getting up a reputation of being "on to his job" that extends into neighboring counties, and a good share of Dr Smith's work comes from distant points The apportionment of the August state and county tuition fund is at hand.

This, with due consideration of the pretty home he has built up in Union, has made him resolve to give up or at least to postpone his contemplated removal. Elmer Hardy, who is now in the United States navy as a member of the crew of the II. S. S. "New Hampshire," sends a letter contain ing a clean, new two-dollar bill that looks as though it had never been spent before, and asks us to send the Record to him until it's used up.

While William Wad by, of south western Emmons, was in town Mon day with his neighbors, ClilV. Put nam and Ray Coonen, he received a telephone message that there was a new boy at his house, the lad having settled in Emmons county that morning.

Pupils are wanted to avail themselves of these opportunities, and are asked to enroll early. Chil dren of six years old are admitted to the primary department, but must, enroll at the opening of school. We are not in position to start., a class in the middle of the year. John Jlagg has sold his elevator to F. R. Schilling, of Herroid. Mr. S. was in town a day or two this week. He will be here shortly, In coming being dependent upon the good nature of the judge of the pending term of fedearl court at Deadwood, to service as a juror at which Mr. Schilling has been sum moned. Mr. S. thinks, however, that it is probable that, if anyone can get excused, it will he an ele vator man of either uf the Dakoias at this time of year. Mr. S.'s family will come to live here next spring. By the way, has it ever occurred to you that Mr. Hagg. with his starting'of various branches of busi ness, his erection of good houses, etc., has done a big work toward building up the town. He started a lumber-yard then sold it out. It is still here, with J. A. Lang in charge. The town had no big hard ware stock. He put in sold it. Wolfer is now running ir. He built one of the best residences in the town, with a line lawn, shade trees, private water works, eie. After a while he sold it but it. still exists on the same corner. Then he built a belter residence, with more appurtenances and belongings in the nature of conveniences. It is still a part of Linton. Then he erected an elevator, and that, al though sold, still remains lo add to Linton's property valuation. The Record would suggest that he now build a mill. As the weather is getting a little ceo! some evenings for out-door "spieling," Dr. Smith and his boys will give a musical program in the opera house briday evening after sup excuse us, as the town is grow ing to metropolitan size, we should say dinner. However, the time set is after you eat in the evenin'. The boys and their devoted leader are feeling mighty kindly toward the I.inton people, who made 'em a present of nearly a hundred dollars recently, and they want everybody to know that they are not ungrate ful. The leader and the boys cor dially invite the public generally to attend at the time named and listen to the progam. No charge for ad mission, of course. An accident iast Thursday hap pened to Jerry Hart, a youth who has lived in the Winona country a vear or two, if not longer. He was cutting a watermelon, when the knife slipped and severed his jug no, not his jugular vein, but an art ery in one of his wrists. Jerry came near bleeding to death before Hilly liowden, driving fast, could gel him to Linton. He was pretty nearly "all in" when he reached here. The doc tors both being absent. Druggist Vorlander stopped the How of blood and bound up the wound. A few hours afterward Dr. Wolverton re turned to town and took charge of the case. Jerry was all right in a day or so as soon as he got a new supply of blood in his veins. It is safe to say that hereafter the kind hearted old-tinier will not monkey with anything that has water inside if it. The marriage of Mr. Arthur Goehring and Miss Edna Campbell, of llazelton. took place in Linton last. Sunday. The Rev. N. Wood performed the ceremony, which oc curred at the Methodist parsonage, at 7 p. in. The groom is one of I fa ze! I on well-known ami progressive young business men. The bride was born in Emmons county, and has grown to womanhood here. She is I he daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Campbell and grand-daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elliott. Campbell, early settlers in theWilliamsport country and now of Hazelton. She is popu lar with every one who knows her. Well! well! well! It is hardly pos sible. It seems not more than a year or two ago that her mother, who died when Edna was a little girl, was herself a girl about Edna's age, it. Williamsport. She was before her marriage Miss Stella Edick, daughter of the late C.H. Edick and wife, and she was loved by every one. Truly, the years have rapidly gone by. The Linton schools opened last Monday, and teachers and pupils are again at work. It is to be hoped that "the rules will he suspended" and the new teachers kept here for more than one term at least until tliey shall have had time to become really well acquainted with the children. There is too much of a disposition on the part of some patrons to listen to the complaints of their children, ami to take such ex-parte complaints as "law and gospel." Our experience with children at. school has been that in nine cases out of ten there is abso lutely no substantial reason for such complaints. The average teacher has adopted teaching as a profession. With some it is a life work. They are earning and expect to earn their living in that profession. They are intelligent and educated or they would not have passed examinations and complied with the other statu tory requirements which permit them to become inst ructors in the public schools. Is it not reasonable to suppose thaL they will do all that can fairly he done to avoid com plaint and keep on good terms with patrons and pupils, lo the end that their record here or elswhere may show satisfaction given to the vari ous communities in which they have taught'.' The trouble is that all of us have an instinctive feeling that, however mischievous and unruly other children may be, our own in dividual offspring are just the proper thing. And any patron who values his child's welfare may rest assured that, if he backs him unquestion ingly when he complains of his teacher, he is doing his child an in justice that will be hard to remedy in coming years. If complaints are mad.' of a nature at all serious, don't go around and growl about it to the neighbors. Call on the princi pal and the teacher for their side of ihe story. Then if not satisfied, go to the school board and let the hoard then investigate the matter, if in their impartial and unpreju diced judgment the matter is worthy of investigation -which it is generally not. This growling at the school and at the teachers pri vately, and then failing to show up when a meeting is held to consider complaints, is an undesirable con dition thai should have a quick end put to it by the public opinion of this community.

Last Monday Haltasar.the thirteen year-old son of Joseph Gross,a farm er residing about four miles north of Westfield, was killed while rak ing hay. The manner of his death is not known, but it is thought, that the horse's which he was driving, hitched to a hay-rake, ran away and the lad was struck by the rake'. The father and a sister had gone to the home premises with a load of hay, and the first they knew that some thing was wrong was when they saw the team running across the fie'ld. When they reached the boy he was dead, lie had been struck on the head, presumably by the rake. Attorney lierndt, of Bismarck, has been in town this week trying a contest case in which he is attorney for the claimant, Mrs. Bessie Lar son, who live'.s a few miles from Hazelton. The contest is brought by the government. Some time ago an inspector called at the claim when the lady happened to he tem porarily absent. The inspector,who spoke English only, interviewed a neighbor who spoke only German. So it was that the inspector went away with the belief that he had un earthed a well-defined case of claim abandonment. It appears that the neighbor was one of her proof-wit nesses, and testified very favorably for her. But he didn't understand much of what the inspector was ask ing, and so his replies did not con vey the meaning which he wished them to convey. The testimony of several witnesses is favorable to Mrs. Larson. Inspector Laird appears for the general landoffice. A son was born last Sunday after noon to Mr. and Mrs. George Thompson, of Linton, All well. Mr. Thompson has charge of the N. P. section out of Linton.
