one of the officers OF Col. Morton's old

Several evenings during the week there
have been gatherings of people at the
Office of Major Fleming TO see the beauti-
full incandescent light. This light is
worked with a modern invention in the
way of a storage battery, and is said to
offer the finest electric light for household
purposes that can be found. Those
present reported themselves as having been
highly entertained.
The school teachers are beginning to
arrive in this city for attendance at the
institute, which precedes the opening of
the city schools. Professor Crum has come
in from his claim in Dickey county, Miss
Mary Thompson arrived some days ago
from hers in the same county, and others,
including Miss Pinney, Miss Wing, Miss
Matteson and others from various locali-

A tea party of elderly matrons was given
Tuesday afternoon and evening by Mrs.
E. B. Eddy, at their elegant Thirteenth
street residence, in honor of her sisters, Mrs.
Derby and Mrs. Wilson, and her sister-in-
law, Mrs. Bostwick. Fourteen ladies were
present, whose ages ranged from forty
three to seventy years, and five of whom
we're grandmothers. The occasion was
enlivened by vocal and instrumental music,
recitations, etc., and was thoroughly en-
joyed by all.
On Thursday Will Fogelman and j. P
Kelly, of Fargo, shouldered their imple-
ments of warfare and started after ducks.
They drove some distance into the country
and, getting their weapons ready for bus
mess began to look after their favorite
mallards in their haunts. It is said that
during their absence from the wagon
flock of ducks attacked the team, but the
horses drove them off after killing one of
their number which the boys brought
home as a trophy failing to find any
game.
A social was given on Monday evening
at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. j. Sholwell, in Island Park, under the
auspices of the First Baptist church of this
city. 1t was given as the first of series
which the pastor, Rev. G. F. Hopkins, sug-
gested for the purpose of having the
younger members of the congregation be-
come acquainted with the members of the
church. About seventy-five people were
present, all of whom seemed filed with the
enjoyment of the occasion. It would seem
as if many other churches, here and else
where, would do we'll to profit by the ex-
ample.
One of the most delightful affairs of the
season occurred at the elegant residence of
Col. G. A. Morton, in Oak Grove Park, on
Friday evening. 1t was young peoples
party, given by his daughter, Miss Scharlie,
to her numerous young friends and ac-
quaintances. The mansion was brilliantly
lighted, and the pale moonlight, glimmer-
ing through the trees, and forming a
thousand reflections from the dew-moist-
ened leaves, made it a scene fit for the gods.
An excellent orchestra was in attendance,
and to the sweet strains of merry music the
lively young feet kept time in the merry
dances. The refreshments were in keeping
with the rest of the entertainment, elegant
showing the master hand of Mrs. Morton as
the guiding spirit. The colonel was full OF
life, as usual, administering to the comfort
and happiness of his daughters guests
