North Dakota will have jurisdiction over
United States cases.
The extended circulation of the
Courier is nicely portrayed by the letters
being received by our bachelors whose

They come from Nova Scotia ON the
east and Colorado on the west, with the
central states Clipped in.

were among the visitors at Park Avenue
Hotel, Alardell, last Sunday. Capt,
Robinson is the same genial host as of
Old, and still has hopes that the notes of

Eggs have been very scarce and high
this winter, but are now dropping so
that man of moderate means can at
ford to look at dozen through a Win
dow, and it is just possible he NAV be
able to buy small egg by Easter. 1t
is worthy of note that as they decrease
in price they grow smaller in stature.
Hens these tears.
Wheat still continues to come into
Cooperstown in goodly quantities, and
the elevator will have train load for
shipment by the time the road is opened
up. This is great wheat market. and
we doubt if there is another town in this
entire region where wheat has been as
continuously purchased during the win
ter months as here.
In view of the general desire for fast
mail trains, and III accordance with ar
rangements that were partially complet-
ed several days ago, the Northern Pa
cific road will put on fast mail train to
leave st. Paul at four clock every after
noon. making the time from st. Paul to
Portland in ninety hours, and to Puget
Sound and New Tacoma in one hundred
hours. This willmake the time to Fargo
one hour shorter than at present.

community last Sunday and claimed for
its victim that sweet little lady, Myra
Zimmerman, aged five years. youngest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. NJ. Zimmer-
man, the cause of her mtimely demise
being dropsy of the brain. Who could
know the sunny-haired child and not
love her? The blow that falls SO heav-
lily upon the afflicted household is shared
keenly by every acquaintance OF Myra.
who has gone SO early to meet her Maker.

The editor of one Of our exchanges
