4 Fair Bl.amist.

Howard, Nov. 22-Howard is Just now
the scene of quite sensation. Last
March pretty and prepossessing young
woman, nineteen years of age, who gave
her name as Miss Minnie Martin, arrived
in Howard and received place as din
ing room girl at the West Vermillion
house. SIZE continued to work there
until August 81, when Gray ton. Berry
man, boarder at the hotel, and a worthy
young man, who formerly lived at Juda.
Wis, married her, the ceremony being
performed at the neighboring town of
Madison, by Rev. W. L. Alexander. The
young people soon after went to house
keeping, living on farm near this place.
On Sunday last there appeared young
man here named John Oswalt, hailing
from Grundy Center, Iowa, who claimed
to have married the fair Minnie at the
latter place i'll the spring of 1881, but
saying that she deserted him in July
following. On Monday lie swore out q
warrant for the arrest of Minnie on 6
charge of bigamy, and she was arrested
by Sheriff Cobban at two O'Clock p. N
to day, as she was boarding the Lacrosse
train. The trial will come off tomorrow
before Justice G. 4. Crlssey.

A worll.wide Reputation.

Who has not heard of Kate Greenaway
the artist who has done 30 much for our
homes? She lives in London, and from
thence reaches ont to the whole civilized
world. Her magic pencil has transformed
even the American home midgets into
the quaintest and loveliest of little anti
ques, with their "Mother Hubbard"
and "Greenaway" gowns. and their
sailor and grandfather costumes. Her
name is household word; her dictum
as powerful as that of court
designer, her modes as closely followed in
the world of fashion and the larger world
lying without that would be fashionable
as are those of Worth. She is pleas
ntfaced woman, kind and cordial to
those who visit her studio. In speaking
OF her daily work, which is from nine
o'clock until two, she says that each of
her imaginative designs is wrought
out by hard, laborious process
She plans out all the little robes, and
quaint bonnets and funny old cloaks to
the minutest detail of each bow, and
ribbon and band. and she smiled as she
poinied to them hanging there around
the studio wall, 80 motionless then, but
soon to be alive again with charming
curves and airy grace, when obedient to
the little creatures within. The little
models have to be tied, aud bnttoned,
and pinned into the quaint garments, to
pose with many rests between, but the
artist. with tireiess pencil, must go ovel
and over, in dry drudgery, each line and
curve, altering here, improvising there
spending hours upon one little detail
that the whole mny be perfect. Is it any
wonder that the inanimate figures seer
to walk, to speak, to pirouette sn6
masquerade?

unmoved at the gallows. After the moose

A special dispatch from Albany. n. Y,
stating that Jimmy" Hustled was to be
appointed governor of Dakota, was
shown to Governor Ordway to day. He
said he knew nothing about the matter,
had never thought nor heard OF it. The
fact is that his term does not expire until
the last of next June, by which time
congress is expected to adjourn. In that

NORTHERN DAKOTA

The total assessed valuation for the
territory is S69.l54,6o9, against valua-
tion of S47,000.000 for 1882. This gives
an incl ease OF over TWENTY-FIVE million

1t will be observed that the northern
half of the territory contains
more wealth than the

An Excellent Entertainment Last Evening
The Rugby Boys Before the FOotlights.
The eleventh anniversary of Rugby Lit.
erary Society was celebrated last night in
the Opera House in the presence of large
audience, whose hearty appreciation Of the
performance was one of the best evidences
of its high merit.
The overture. "The Silver Bell" Schlepe-
grell, was well rendered, after which the
president of the society, Frank D. Carpen-
ter, delivered the opening address, which
vas In every way worthy of the oc-
casion. The essay ON character" !"
by G. Cleland Jones, was thoughtfully
and well written and displayed depth Of
penetration into the subject scarcely to be
expected from one so young.
After waltz by the orchestra, "Showers
of Gold" Waldtenfel, the feature of the
evening was introduced, minor drama,
"The Great Elixir" Following was th e
cast Of characters:
Waldemir Virgins, the seventh son of a seventh
son. son.........t............. F. ID. Carpenter.
Gunnybag Greenbax, Virgins patient,
Nervous Aspin, Virgins patient,
J. Danforth Bush.
Major Fingers, discOntented bridegroom.

Harry Quildriver, AN author. Frank X. Myers
Herbert Easll, his friend. Harry q. Moore.
Dennis McGrath, the Doctors help,
John Oakford Lambson.
Bob, the Doctors boy. adam K. Luke.
The acting throughout was surprisingly
good. The grasp of the various parts was
firmly taken and evenly sustained to the
end. F. ID. Carpenter as Wdldemir Wiggins
c. P. Ward, as Major Fingers. and j. o.
Lambson, as Dennis Nc Grdth are worthy of
special mention, and displayed talents of an
unusual order for amateurs.
Popular airs,o Catlin, by the orchestra,
was followed by an essay, "The Advantages
of an Education," in which the youthful
clear and vigorous manner the value of a
"Curiew Must not Ring Tonight" de-
claimed by Frank B. Myers, did not lose any
of its pathetic beauty by its presentation,
negative commendation that is not intended
to be merely faint praise.
Another brief drama 1.-TWO Heads are

following cast:
Mr.. Maxwelton. Albert B. Harris
Sammy Maxwelton, his son. ....J. o. LambsOn
Charles Conquest. t....................J j. ID. Bush
Mr.. Strange, painter. .........t. ID. Carpenter
Nellie, MIR. Strange's niece. ........C. L. Ward
And 1t was well given, Masters Lambson
and Ward, as in the former piece especially
distinguishing themselves. The latter as
Nellie, MIR. Strange's niece, was equal to
some of the acknowledged successes at
female impersonation by men on the profes.
sional stage. The entertainment closed
with music by the orchestra, "Seventh Regi-

OF both clubs was concerned, and was only
rendered exciting, only from the evenness
OF the score, which was a tie at the close of
the ninth inning In the tenth the
Quicksteps, through their poor bat
