Georgefrom Dresden passed through here last Tuesday ou business. Hon. H. E. Dorval drove out from Langdon of Monday and was the guest of Rev. Father Ridder over night. Wheat seeding is about wound up for the year iu this section of the county. It is couceeded to be quite a lot earlier than a year ago. The attendance at the Mt. Carmel school has increased to -18, and by nearly half, all the kids around here haven't started going to school yet. Yesterday forenoon at about nine o'clock Father Ridder performed the cer emony of marriage, which united the hearts and hands of Mr. I. Dawson, of Dresden, and Miss Mary Perius. of this place. The heartiest congratulations of the entire settlement are tendered to the happy pair. MACK. Glenila held its first township election on Tuesday of this week at the place of T. M. Richmond. Interest was manifested in the event by nearly every resident. Bob Hamilton took a trip of several miles out west on Sunday of last week and reports that the new railroad, of which everybody is doing so much talk ing about-, is not in sight yet, but he has every confidence, the same as the rest of us, that it is coming sure. Martin Fremstad and Ole Gerstad, two of our good neighbors who keep batch hall on their claims, returned not long ago from the lumber woods in Minnesola, where they spent the winter and at the same time enriched them selves to the extent of $30 per month Those frosty mornings we had during the early part of the spring made short hours work for both the farmer and his horses, consequently saved much horse flesh and hardened up both man and beast for the season's toil There has been plenty of the crop in early this spring. Mr. Bruinwell, son-in-law of Hon. Jas Dobie, has lately proved up on his home stead. and intends removing with his family to Cypress township, where he is the owner of a well improved farm. All the neighbors of these good people much regret to see them leave here, but what can we do about it.? TRIER, have Most of the farmers out our way done seeding. Miss Lizzie Schuler has been suffering from an attack of neuralgia lately. Mrs. Fahe.v and son. John L., are awa3' enjoying- a visit with some of their old acquaintance iu the Valley. Prairie fires and politics are now the order of the day, although for the pre sent the fires are a little the warmest. Farmers hide your machinery, send your stock away and look miserable, for the township assessor will soon be around. Joseph Ilelten has arrived from Min nesota and starts in at once to break up the sod on his farm, located on section thirty-five. Jim Welshes under obligation to keep the sod buildings in Trier township in repair this summer, at least he says he got orders to that effect. Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Young, in company with their son, George, and John R. Tovey, were over at Langdon on Thurs day and Friday of last week transact ing business. Fred Buergel haB purchased a beautiful top buggy, which goes to show that he won't have to walk up by 's any more, and a certain dark haired girl in our town will be right in line. Jacob Penner and C. J. Quiring of Henderson Township, are in the habit of making frequent trips over into the Trier settlement of late, but we will not go into details, that is not at present at least. Last Saturday the praire fire demo lished the comfortable home of Pete Schuler. The school also had a close call. Which is a reminder all round that it would be a good thing to plow some fire breaks. Our neighboring town of Henderson has Ihe material hauled on the ground for the new school house they are build ing this spring. The teacher will be a Mr. C. Neufeldt, who arrived a few days ago from Minnesota. C. K. Wing, C. J. Lutes and Prof. R. W. Beigle, three prominent residents from Crystal, were travelers through our town last Sundav, returning from Rolette county, where they had been prospecting for vacant goverment lands. We did not learn what success their trip had brought them. Real estate is going op fast in this vi cinity. Daring the last few days a quarter section near here, .with^nly fifteen acres broken, sold for f1,000 caSBrUhs farm lands around here are all good and among the new coMent there are plenty with money that are* ready to bny up the homestead of any settler that has a hankering alter the sold cash. ykrA '"S DRESDEN. What's the matter with Charlie? nothing, that's alright Charlie! Andrew George was out to Mt. Carmel this week for a visit with friends over Sunday. Painting will be commenced this week on the several school houses of Dresden township. Miss Frances Sims of Osnabrock vis ited with friends here several days of last week. Fred Blake was up to Hannah on his wheel visiting friends oyer Sunday' and made a trip out to his homestead before returning. Harry Hume, one of the Campbell fan ning mill agents, that did such a big business in through here last summer, is here iu town again this week. Miss Eidth Skinner, of Langdon, visited last week with her sister, Mrs. Trennum, wife of the landlord of the Dresden Hotel, returning home Monday. A social dance was given on Thursday evening of last week at the Trennum Hotel. All the young people of the neigh borhood were there andthelandlord and his better half saw that 1 here was a good time and enjoyment for everybody. Tony Schuler, who has been out to the Northwest Territories on a pros pecting trip, got back home last week, lie saw lots of good land during his travels, but like most other wanderers from North Dakota, was glad to get back to the land of the free and the home of the brave. A couple of young Dresden sporte added to their celiberity this week by their at tempt to puncture a farmer's buggy' the other day while taking a trip out over the country. The encounter resulted in their having to take turns in riding home on the one wheel and hire a team the next day to bring home the wheel that had been up against the real thing. The result of the boxing bout here the other evening between Gagan junior and Barnhart junior is about as follows: First round, light sparring ending in Gagan landing with a light swing on Barnliart's jaw. just before time was called. Second round, plenty of punching and rough fighting with no particular advantage to either when the bell rang. Third round, saw both come up looking pretty well gone, they were satisfied with light sparring until just before the gong sounded when Barnhart tried to get in a knockout and succeeded in send ing Gagan to the floor, but he was up before the timekeeper had counted him out. Fourth round, heavy punching and short arm swings were given and taken, both being pretty groggy when time was called at the end of the three minutes. The fifth, and last round, only lasted twenty seconds, Gagan being the aggres sor all through, several heavy body blows evidently found the spot as Barn hart threw off the gloves and quit. Additional Local. Rev. D. MoMillan, the Presbyterian divme from Elkwoocl, was a visitor in the city yesterday. J. fl. Williamson, the veteran demo crat from Harvey, was in Saturday to take part in the deliberations of the central committee. Rev. Dougan was called to the Forks last week by the illness of his neice, Miss Jackson, at the state university. Friends will be glad to learn that her condition is much improved. John Crummy was down from his Grey township farm the forepart of the week talking over old times with friends from the Valley. Crops are all in out hie way and some of them up already. Ladies! See the new inter lining, "Cor'lette better than hair cloth and only half the price. Sold at Eoyds. Druggist Walt Gould spent Sunday and the fore part of the week on his homestead in West Perry. "Billy" Farrell went along to scare away the gophers and other big game. A telephone message from Grand Forks states that Judge Fisk this morning hand ed down his decision in the Langdon drug store cases, granting Judge Templeton's motion to dismiss the cases. Frank McHugh has bad to lay aside his studies at Collegeville, Minn, and take medical treatment at one of the St. Paul hospitals. It will be remembered that he was home on sick leave several weeks early in the spring. On Sunday of this week Rev. Dongan conducts Presbyterian services at the Falconer appointment at 10:30 a. m., at the McLean school honse at 2 p. m., and in the Langdon ohuroh in the evening at eight o'clock. Miss Stella Monnet, who qpent last summer here visiting at the home of her brother, Attorney Monnet, returned to the oity this week and will make a slay of some months in hopes of the change improving her health. Co. E boys are looking forward to the return of their captain, R. E. MoHugh, from Dixon, HI., in a (sw weeks when some solid work will Its done on the drill groond in anticipation of the state encampment to be held in Devils Lake tims LA JOB*. v' W 1 Oh Miss Mary Perius is making a visit among her many Dresden friends this week. v?, & Friday's hot dry wind, that caused devastation by fire in four different North bakota towns besides innumerable prairie' fires, burnt up the new barn of John Robertston, north of town. The building was in'an unfinished condition at the time, but is now a mass of crum bling ruins. He also suffered the loss of a large quantity of hay. Nearly all the owners of lawns in Langdon seem to have discovered the nack of preserving them through a North Dakota winter. There are two, however that seem to be especially worthy of being admired for their rich velvety green appearance this early in the season and they may be found surrounding the handsome homes of Col. Wentworth and Dr. E. I. Donovan. Two new street crossings are being put in on Third street this week. One from the Columbia corner to Dedrick's hard ware store—which by the way, Mr. Dedrick says was made necessary by the throng of customers wending their way to his place of business—and the other from Dr. Gibson's to the DEMOCRAT'S office. We ain't saying a thing about what cause a the demise of this right and narrow way to the portals of Jetfersonian democracy—modesty forbids. The meeting on Saturday evening of the Ladies Tennis Club, of this city, puts that organization into active motion for the season. The ladies have th&exclu sive use of one of the courts at the tennis ground, east of the court house and ic is proposed to hang up a trophy for the best score at the end of the season in both singles and doubles. The olnb has a membership of over twenty and re-elects Mrs. J. B. Boyd, president and Miss C. E. MoMillan, secretary for the ensuing year. Wm. Shelley's return Tuesday from his short visit of a few days to his old home at Darwin. Minn., brought with it quite a surprise for his friends here in town and neighbors in the Perry settle ment. For years past he has been looked upon as one of the best all round bach elor farmers in that section and with Mrs. Shelley to keep house for him his lot in life ought to be one of continuous sun shine, at least* we hope so. The wedding took place on Monday, the bride former ly -being Miss Lousie Parquette, of Darwin, Minn. The return of Rev. Beer and wife Monday from Grand Forks, where for a week they had been attending the annual conference of the M. E. churoh, suggested to their Langdon friends that an excellent opportunity afforded itself for them to show the satisfaction they felt at the re-appointment of Rev. Beer as the church's pastor for another year. On Monday evening nearly forty mem bers and warm supporters of the church took the parsonage by storm and heartily endorsed the action of the conference by the warmth of their welcome. The affair was brought to a fitting termina tion by the ladies serving refreshments which they had thoughtfully brought along with them. John Yeer, one of the old pioneer resi dents of Moscow, was in town Monday arranging for the funeral of his father* Cornelius Veer, who passed away at a late hour Saturday night at the home of a married daughter residing at Klien post office. The old gentleman was up wards of 82 years of age, being born in Russia on April 3, 1818. His family of eight 6ons and daughters with their children and grandchildren made him the great grand parent of a family of 94, of whom 67 are livingat the present time. The funeral took place on Tuesday af ternoon from the residence of Abram Krahn, the services being conducted by the pastor of the Mennonite church from Gretna, Manitoba, at which place the old gentleman resided before moving over to this side. Wm. McKay, a young farmer, living south-east of town had a close call on Saturday evening about seven o'clock. He hadbeenin town all the afternoon and had started for home when his team run away shortly after crossing the railroad track. McKay was thown from his wagon early in the race bat hung onto the lines finally bringing the team to a standstill, but was himself in quite an unconscious condition. Besides a bad fall his head and face were severely bruieed and cut, leaving him a most unrecognizable condition as he led his team back into town. McKay didn't seem to know just how it happened, but the fourteen yards of sunshine that seemed to paint nature in tints of a roseate hue as he started from town had set far beyond the western sky by the time Dr. Semple had placed a dozen or so stitches in his "phiz."
