day. Under treatment of DR.. Harris he

In some parts of the town the weeds

are already a nuisance to pedestrians,
and should be removed.

cream and cake. The attendance was
good and very pleasant evening was
spent by those present.
AT G. Gaudett's one day last week there
was narrow escape from fire, and a
fire in any building on Cavileer street is
not desirable as in the burning of one the
whole street is likely to be involved,
Some liquor had been spilled ON the
floor, and in the shade of the evening
MIR. Gaudett struck a match to look 70,
something on the floor, when the liquor
suddenly ignited, burning Mr.. Gaudett's
hands severely. Just then Mack Cayileer
happened along, threw off his coat and
slnothered the flames. After reading
this paragraph some will say that the
town should have some sort of protection
from fire, but we have nothing. #
Prof. CRouTER appeared in Kittson
Hall last Monday evening, but was greet.
ed by very slim audience again. Mr..
Crouter says many good things, but as
he himself says, he is too advanced q
thinker for the crowd. He is hundred
years ahead Of his time. Fit to teacl,
even professors of the sciences, he is al.

ignorant public don't understand him,

Clefs.-A week of fine, warm weather
has added materially to the prospects
for heavy yield in the wheat crop in
Pembina county this fall. A few even
ings this week the clouds looked heavy
and threatening, but no rain fell and we
have not heard of any local showers in
the county. The wheat harvest has be-
gun i'll the southern and western portions
OF the county, and next week harvesting
will be upon us in full blast. It will be
remembered that the frost that did SO
much damage last fall came about Sept.
9th. AT that date this year there will be
little or no grain standing. The outlook
now is exceedingly favorable throughout
North Dakota generally, and our own
county in particular.
AT a teachers institute in Grand Forks
Prof. Travis delivered a lecture of which,
the Herald of that city gives SYNOPSIS.
The following are few extracts from the
herald's accountable audience at the
court house last night was treated to a
fine lecture on the Freedom of the Teach

may be designated unhesitatngly as ele-
CANT scholar and entertaining a speaker

day might come sooner than anticipated
that not one teacher but two, man and
wife, might occupy each home and con-

Then the state should also provide for

thoughts Of his lecture. He spoke with
