D. WABNER,
Proprietor of the original town

three additions, all adjoining,
with a continuation of streets

The clinfate in this part of

as that of Ohio, Indiana and Il

fall is abundant and always
comes when most needed. The
water is free from any alkali
taste and as pure as anv found
in any of the Eastern States. In

A Vicious Husband's Work.
Watertown, Dak.?.Special Telegram,
July 16.—Mrs. D. B. Stafford, a woman
of respectability, was arrested at Wa
tertown, recently, upon a warrant
sworn out by her husband, charging
her with child stealing. Stafford and
his wife have lived apart for several
months and the husband has possession
of the children. A few days ago Mrs.
Stafford met one of the children, a boy
of eleven, as he was returning from
Bchool, and he gladly accompanied her
to the hotel where she was stopping.
On learning this faoti Stafford secured
her arrest. This was done so late in
the evening that the sheriff was com
pelled to keep her in his custody over

luitoba Humors.
A report, with an apparently solid
foundation, comes that the Maaicooa
intends to run its trains direct from
Everest to Casselton, and from that
44lnt will continue the branch due west,
keeping a couple of miles north of the
Northern Paoific, till it strikes the Hope
and Portland branches. The iron will
be taken up from Everest, north to Sid
ney, at the old crossing of the Northern
Pacific, and on to the new line with
the Hope branch. The trains will then
run from Everest directly to Cssselton,
and thence on the new line west to
Ripon, where the plug-train will take
passengers to Hope, the through trains
running north to Portland and Lari
more. During the summer a tri-weekly
mixed train will be probably run on the
old Mayville branch, but it is thought
that eventually the track will be taken
up and abandoned, as the bed is low
and is easily blockaded in the winter.
The changes" mentioned, it is under
stood, will be made immediately, and
through trains from St Paul will be
soon running by way of Casselton and
Portland to Larimore.
