Mr.. Summers of the Little Falls
Transcript made us a pleasant call,
Tuesday morning. Mr.. Summers is
pleasant, social gentleman, an excel
lent representative of his town, and
paper. Come again brother S. and
stay longer.
In the high room of the Wadena
schools, Miss Edith Wheeler received
the prize, "a volume of Shakspeare's
Poems) in the A spelling class, Miss
Luella Boyer, Whittier's Poems, in
the B class, and volume of Long,
fellows Poems was awarded to Miss
Minnie johnson for presenting to the
school the best Essay.
Geo. Boyington, the interchangeable
| register of deeds of Ottertail Co., is
mentioned as candidate for re.nom-
ination to that Office. George evident
ly knew what he wanted better than
the papers did, when he refused the
land Office appointment. He is a
good fellow. and we'll liked, and if he
runs no is sure to get there.
Albert Amos and Liman Benedict
have purchased a drug store at Wa
dena, Minn., and are going to try
their fortunes in that onterprising
town. Thus Nora Springs loses two
of her best young men whom Wade
ma can we'll afford to cordially well
come among their business fraterni-
ty.-Nora Springs Advertiser.
We are under obligation to those
piscatorial followers of the gentle
Isaac Walton, A. E. Taylor, of Brain.

OF Wadena; for one of the smallest Of
the fish which they caught, Monday,
on fishing excursion to East Battle
Lake; but as our family is small, we
managed to get a taste of the pick
( erel. 1t, the fish, weighed about ten
pounds.
c. c. knappen, of the Fergus Falls
Daily Telegram, was in this CITY.
Saturday, Sunday and Monday on
business connected with his paper.
Mr.. Knappen is a pleasant gentleman
to meet, well versed in tho news
paper business and a credit to the
paper he represents. The Telegram,
we understand, has been consolidated
with the Independent, and they will
be under the management of Peter
Glare. of the latter journal, who will
undoubtedly make a success of the
consolidated journals.
Hon. L. w. Collins of St. Cloud,
has been appointed, by Gov. Hub
bard, Judge Of the District Court, to
succeed Judge McKelvy, resigned
This is an excellent appointment, and
gives general satisfaction through
out the district. The question of his
eligibility has been raised on account
of his having been member of the
legislature which, in 1881. raised the
pay of the Dist. Judges, the consti-
tuition Of the state providing that no
member of the legislature shall be
appointed to a State office for one
year after the expiration of his term of
office, when the legislature of which
he was member has increased the
pay or emoluments of the office.
This question will have to be settled
before he assumes office.
AS will be seen in the time table
published elsewhere, a change has
been made in the time at which trains
arrive here, on both the main line
and the branch. The day Ex-
press and Mail arrives here from St.
Paul at 4:30, and from the west at
1888; both of these trains make close
connection with the Branch Train,
which now remains over night at
Wahpeton, and arrives here at 1915,
and leaves at AS; this enables the
people along the Black Hills Divi.
sion to come in and remain here six
hours and half. Our merchants we
think ought to profit by this arrange
ment and secure large amount of
trade from along the line of that road.
We trust that they will see it to be
for their interest to cater there
for.
We had the pleasure of meeting,
for few minutes on Monday, the
teacher who taught the first school
we ever attended, the Hon. A. II.
Cragin, ex-senator from New
Hampshire, and now one of the CON-
missioners to examine section of
the Northern Pacific Railroad. We
fwell remember the birch rod with
which he used to quicken orr ideas,
but he had forgotten that he had
ever used. it to our discomfort, and
welcomed as as heartily as possible,
and seemed to have forgotten that we
ever put crooked pin in his chair
or did aught to disturb his equanimi-
ty. The senator is looking older
than when we last saw him, eight
years ago, but is yet we'll preserved
gentleman of the old school, courte-
Gus dignified and refined in manner,
and exhibited q lively interest in this
new country which he is now visit
ing for the first time. +
