farm, as upon many others, were never
more flattering.
Last spring quite quantity of wheat ol
the blue stem variety was shipped to thi:
point for seed, from Hudson, Wisconsin
OF this wheat Mr.. E. w. Leonard sowed
ninety acres, Mr.. d. w Watson sixty and
Mr., E. P. Watson about two hundred
acres. A specimen of this wheat shown
US last week from Mr.. Leonard's field
measured forty inches in height. 1t had a
good rich color and fully demonstrated the
fact that it pays to sow good seed.
The Simon Comedy Company at Berk

in BARLEY Campbcll's great comedy,
Filtration. or Love at Long Branch. The
Fargo Argus says; 1.-THE Simon CON-

mirable style, to an audience that was
kept continually mingling laughter and
applause. The music of the excellent
orchestra was the best of the week.
Simon himself was intensly funny, and
the whele performance was good. The
troupe is the best that has ever been
through the New Northwest, and as such
may be heartily commended to the papers
ana people of the places it is yet to visit.
To neighboring towns this year we must
say that we did not celebrate. For various
reasons we didn't think it best. In the
early morning of the Fourth it seemed like
Sunday. Some came to town to take the
Valley train, but got left. Later in the
day wagon loads of the rural folks came
str, aiming into town, from force of habit.
so that by noon quite a concourse of
people were to be seen. 1t is true the
band did nobly. Feeling that something
ought to be done the gentlemen got up q
shooting match. The ''lttle boys" beat
the Darnen club again at a game of base
ball. A few people went down to the race
course with their horses, to see who could
get around first. Each in turn cracking a
ripple of excitement. In the evening the
dances were largely attended, and all went
'merry as a marriage bell" But We
didn't celebrate, honestly we didn't
Peter Peterson, a young Scandinavian
not fully Americanized. had got an idea
into his head that the glorious 4th COM
menced on or about the ed of July, where.
upon he began celebrating on Atlantic
avenue by making nigh: hideous with
boisterous and disorderly conduct. He
had scarcely got under way before about
two hundred and twenty-five pounds of
marshal made his appearance and gath
cred the young man in. Monday morning
a motley crowd greeted him ut the police
court, Justice Hutchins presiding. The
prisoner plead guilty, whereupon he was
informed that he was indebted to the cor.
poration to the amount of seven dollars
including costs. Peter not having the
necessary funds at hand, in company with
the marshal struck out for the cooler
where he was safely deposited out of the
way of the small boys toy pistol, fire
crackers and other explosives which the
young Americans tossed about as reckless
yas on the great national holiday.
On last Sunday night the inmates of the
residence of Mr.. Krol were disturbed by
something OF the charivari order. The
marshal at once attempted to restore quiet
by arresting the ring leader of the bolster
GUS party. 1t being Sunday night and the
marshal expecting no difficulty was I'LL.
armed The arrested man resisted and
was aided by others. The marshal called
on two or three of the bystanders 10 help
him, but from cowardicc or other motives
they failed to comply. The marshal, left
alone to combat with the mob and with
out weapons, got the worst of the struggle,
and after receiving a cut on one hand and
few bruises OH tile other, left for his re-
volver and for others to help him. The
rioters took advantage of his absence and
dispersed, SO that they avoided being
landed in the cooler and tie usual amount
of fines and imprisonment. Some of those
who figured prominently in the disgrace
full affair are well known and may yet re-
ceive the punishment they so richly de.
serve. Ninety days in the county Jail or
500 is the punishment which may be i'm
posed for proceedings of that kind. ard
being reminded of the fact may remove
the desire on the part of some to indulge
in such noisy spofein the future.
