The first anniversary ball Of the Dakota
| Rifles at the roller rink Wednesday night was
an unqualified success both in numbers and
| quality, as well as satisfactory and Spectacu-
| lar advertisement. The Rifles are a fine
looking body of young men and never APP
peared before more admiring and inspiring
eyes than in their exhibition of proficiency in
| drill The broom brigade gave the bayonet
exercise, but did not acquit themselves as
well as usual. They were applauded however.
1.-The church fetes are mostly held on
Thursday night as a relaxation from the
devotional vigor of Wednesday night. Some
two hundred or more gathered at the pala-
tial mansion of w. I'll. White to pay their re-
spects to the new residing elder, Rev. Bible,
and the NJ E. pastor, Rev. Ingham, and these
gentlemen made an excellent impression so
cially as they had already done in the pulpit.
The same night the ladies of the Disciple
church gave a pleasant social at the subur-
han villa of J. D. Batson, and the Broadway
Con 81 egational people ate and drank
in pleasant fellowship at the church,.
One of the most numerous and popular gath
eringS of the week was the G. A. r. camp
fire at the opera house Tuesday night. Some
four hundred found that the rations were not
of the hard tack order, and reported the pro-
gram interesting. Manager Rohe thinks he
was fortunate in securing John Dillon in
Estates Attorney and Confidential Adviser
for Nov. and 5, and no doubt the conclusion
will vindicate his anticipations. He is reach
ing after other great dramatic attractions.
The Saddest days of the year seem to have
come to the sixteen more or less candidates
for the postoffice as the lurid tidingS come
from Washington that Col. Tyner is to absorb
the postal stipends for two years more Some
of them threaten to have their petitions and
biographies shipped back from Washington
before the winter freight rates are imposed,
and decline to serve the government and their
country in that post of duty. Judge Fry re-
ports the business of the Fargo Insur-
ance company so yolumlnous of
late as to absorb his efforts
day and night. He is rustler....
Bishop Walker is endeavoring to repeat his
successful efforts in his New York work for
the benefit of young men in Fargo and estab
lish a resort for them where they can spend
their leisure time in an innocent and profita-
bic way. He sees great need OF something
of the sort in Fargo, and is endeavoring to
secure general cooperation in the good work.
-. Roswell Miller, the general manager of
the Milwaukee system, has been in Fargo re-
Gently and accepted the designations of Supt.
Taylor, Birchal and others of the Fargo
Southern and attached that line as branch
of the Hastings & Dakota trunk, not much
to the satisfaction of Fargo people, who
looked upon the Fargo Southern as essen
TALLY Fargo institution. Mr.. Miller, in
company with Mr.. Eastern, director of the
Milwaukee, took trip to La Moure and those
good at guessing conclude that it means the
extension of the Milwaukee from Glendale
to La Moure and junction with the Northern
Pacific and Northwestern at that point,
but information is wanting as to the real pur-
poses of the movements OF the magnates....
