young lady Of this place, who is a regu-
lar prayer meeting attendant, became
mesmerized by gentleman attendant
whom she had been endeavoring to ex-
ercise her mesmeric power upon. Those
who saw the operation SO neatly trans
posed, much to the lady mesmerist's
discomposure, report ludricrous scene.

-Cooperstown is not to escape the
bane of the Northern Pacific retrench-
ment, as new order painfully indicates.
On and after Dec. lst one train is to do
service for both the Darlington and
Cooperstown branches, which will give
us train OH Mondays and Fridays only
for the winter months. This would
seem gross injustice to populous
county, but what can we do but abide
by the ''powers that be?''
The Marysville (Cal.) Appeal tells Of
girl who supports herself by selling
kisses at 10 cents dozen. Ifthis young
young lady is desirous of striking bo-
nanza that signifies essomething gmore than
a mere living, let her purchase a ticket
for Cooperstown, the Hub of Griggs,
forthwith. Anapple-pie-mouthedy young
gent at our elbow says he can consume
one dozen a day. and there are plenty
more like him here.
Clipping All item from these columns
regarding Louie \. Walkers forthcom-
ing appearance in this place the Fargo
Republican adds: Mrs. Walker is one
of Fargo's brightest dramatic stars and
that is saying great deal. She is one
OF the finest elocutionists that has ever
visited the Northwest, and the citizens
Of Cooperstown and Sanbon are insured
an evening of rare pleasure, should she
appear in one of her evolutionary enter
tainments before them"
Matters present decidedly lively
appearance in the Lehman f. Il l.. Co.'S
yard down at the ''West End'' of the
city nowadays. Manager Crane re-
ports the elevator as chuck full OF grain.
notwithstanding shipments are made as
fast as cars can be procured, and lumber
sales are very brisk. They have paid
out as high as 81 ,45O day for wheat the
past week, which is exclusive of the
grain stored, and nearly every dollar of
this money is set afloat in Cooperstown.
That strip Of territory which has set
up shop as Steele county, just east of
this place will have to pay double taxes
this year to longer keep up the farce of
county organization. The portion they
claim to have taken from Griggs county
must pay taxes here. and the portion
sliced from Traill is assessed as hereto
, fore. Griggs county's claim to taxes
from those townships s'set off for Steele
are being recognized by the largest tax
payers over there, Mr.. Pickert among
them.

"A farmer living on the east side of
the Sheyenne took a load of wheat to
Hope last Saturday, but was convinced
the buyer there did not offer him a fair
price, and so on Monday he crossed the
frozen river and sold the same wheat for
2l cents per bushel more in Cooperstown
than he was offered IN Hone. We have
heard of similar occurrences not infre-
quently, and Judging from the number
of farmers seen on our streets from the
0oof ciHo fhora OF 1,o frs, 81,
the assertion that we have superior
wheat market.
"A special train bearing Vice-Pres.
Oakes, General Freight Agent Hanna
ford, Asst Manager Odell, Supt. Gra-
ham, Master Mechanic Ames and Traf-
fic Manager Muir. all of the Northern
Pacific, and General Manager Roberts
of the S. C.. & 7. NJ, pulled into Coopers-
town Saturday forenoon. These high
up officials were decidedly surprised to
find so substantial town and such mag
nificent and we'll improved land adjoin-
ing it. 1t is thought the object of their
visit was an examination of the road,
preparatory to operating it in connection
with the Northern Pacific.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Temperance Union held at the school
building last Sunday evening was well
attended and yielded more than ordinary
interest. The recitations were well Sc
lected and given with enthusiasm. The
music was appreciated. At the close of
the exercises a pledge was circulated
which was signed by fifty-five persons.
The season of absorbing work has passed
