That Langdon's K. of P., band will

The city of Langdon is suffering from
an aggravated cdse of weeds—oommon,
every-day weeds. It is no part of the
bnsiness of the

commissioner to
cut them—the man that owns the pro

pearance of bis own property.
The annual election of officers of the

following: President, Miss Flo Currie
vice president, Mrs. C. W. Holmes
recording secretary, Mrs. Hay ward cor
responding secretary, MissNettie Prinyer
treasurer, Mrs. Wm. Plummer. The
above new officers have been elected for
the year ending June, 1902.
The precipitation during the past
month has been slightly in excess of
eleven inches. As the normal raiufall
for this section of the state for both rain
and snow is nmeteea inches it will be
seen that an abnormal quantity has
fallen recently. The figures show that
considerably over one-half of the total
rainfall of the year has fallen within the
past thirty days.
The DEMOCRAT acknowledges the re
ceipt per yesterday's mail of an invita

estimable wife number among the most
popular caterers to the public in the
state, have friends all along the line and
from all accounts the Hotel Cramond is
likely to prove a drawing card.
Langdon's junior ball team upheld the
reputation of the home town in the game
played with Cavalier last Wednesday,
score 6 to 5 and the orowd was more than
"tickled" over the work done. A return
exhibition game was played on the
Fourth when the size of the score was
the only feature of the game that cut
any figure at all. Buns were made
galore and the game went to the visitors.
It is the first time that a visiting team
has beaten the kids on their home
ground.
The Fourth was a damp one this year.
It rained enough in the early morning
and during the forenoon to render im
possible the carrying out the program of
the day's celebration. The sun came out
towards noon and the clear sky brought
to town quite a crowd of visitors in the
afternoon who enjoyed in a quieter
fashion than usual our country's natal
day. A ball game between the juniors of
Langdon and Cavalier played on the
down town diamond in the afternoon,
following which the trap shopters o! the
county gathered at the grounds of the
Langdon Gun Club for a shoot. In the
evening the rain came down in torrents
and made the bowery a general retreat
for the crowd and the pleasurable sensa
tion of good music kept the dance go
ing till morning.

TWO HOT GAMES.
Played by Local Talent—Benedicts Win a
Close Game From Single Men.
Two interesting home talent ball games
this week have afforded lots of fun. Mon
day night the heavy bitters of the Gt.
Northern Hotel batted Cashier Thomp
son, the pitcher of the Columbia Hotel
boarders, for 20 runs. Murry Archer was
put in the box for the other side and
kept the score down to 16. Wonderful
feats in the way of fielding, base running
as well as getting hit with the ball gave
entertainment to the orowd. With the
exception of catehertthe line up of both
teamB
was striotly non-professional. They
went to bat in the following order:

Last night the enthusiasts had another
fine exhibition of amateur ball playing
by nines made up of Langdon married
and singles with Pat McHugh located
behind the pitcher to call balls and
strikes. The two teams put up a gilt
edge though not altogether errorless
game, still the score was kept down to
3 to 4, of which the benedicts captured
the big end. Jabe Souch pitched for the
victors with Joe Kelly behind the bat.
The singlemen had Hayes and Jack
Crawford as their battery. That no
scores were tallied until the second
innings shows that both sides were
attending to business all the time. It is
a long time since such an interesting
game was put up and shows that some
cf the old "has beens" have not yet
retired to the bench. Tonight the
benedicts will undertake to "shut out"
the Langdon juniors.

Fargo the same night at 10:30. Dele
gates will visit the Agricultural College st,
the following day and and return borne
the next morning, leaving Fargo at 5:10.
It is suggested by the faculty of the^H
college that delegates be notified as to
time and place of starting and should
any fail to show up substitute other
farmers in their plaoes. '*§1
On arriving in Fargo, representatives
of the different hotels will explain the n&
relative merits of their respective places.
But it will be convenient for oounty delega-
tioas to remain together.
Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock teams
will be in front of the Elliott Hotel, on
Broadway, and couvey all exoursionists,
to the Agricultural College—free of1
charge. Be sure delegates are all there/
ou time for they cannot hunt them up.
Oil arriving at the college delegates
will be required to go to the Drill Hall.y
and register. They will then be divided!
into groups, and, under the direction of-^
a guide, visit the farm and buildings.
After the grounds have been visited
they will be conveyed to the city for
lunch. In the afternoon at 2 o'clock
the teams will be in front of the Elliott|^l
Hotel to convey delegates back to the
Drill Hall again, where a short session
will be held for the purpose of answering
questions delegates may ask, or make
explanations relative to the work of
the college.
President Worst very advisedly says
that future favors to your neighbors from
the Great Northern Railway Co., wilL
largely depend upon the attention of the
particular purpose for which this excur-^Sss
sion is granted. It is not a junket. It
is for instruction.
Teams will run to and from the Elliot
Hotel because it is a convenient starting/
and stopping place. Parties can walk
from there to and from their respective
hotels.
