Prof. II. II. Smell has recently To-
Gated ut Wahpeton and Brecken-
ridge with a view to teaching mr..
sic, vocal and instrumental, in in
strumental, piano and organ. The
professor paid THE TIMES IL pleas
ant call, Tuesday morning, and from
the short acquaintance, we formed a
very favorable opinion of him. He
has friends in Breckenridge and has
made II good commencement there.
The editor of the Tribune ap-
peared on the streets, last Friday,
with u stove pipe hat, but by using
due diligence escaped uninjured.
The hat is not our own, however.
1t is one that was found about three
miles west OF town just after the
hard wind of last Thursday and is
now in our office awaiting a call
from its owner.--Morris Tribune.
We wonder if DR.. Swaine has
been down in that section on some
recent windy dav.
breckenridge now has a banking
house that promises to hold out.
kenaston, Nelson & Co. are the
bankers and propose to do general
banking and exchange business,
loan money on long or short time,
and look after real estate matters.
There is no reason why Wilkin can
not only support the right sort of Il
bank, but find it a great conven-
vcnience and pleasure to do so. In
the rear of the bank Attorney VAL
entine has we'll appointed law Of
flee, where people wanting anything
in the range Of this sort of gun can
have it by applying to him and have
it in good shape.
Col. E. r. Davenport was highly
pleased with the result of testing
the capacity of the water works pipe
to hold water, early this week. lie
held the pressure at 60 pounds for
more than an hour, and but two
small leaks were found in the line
OF nearly five miles of pipe. He
thinks this remarkable it often
costing $1,000 or more to repair
leaks. He credits his efficient force
of workmen for this wonderful sue
cess and says he proposes to take the
foremen of the different depart
ments to Charleston, West Virginia,
with him. Water works men from
different sections of the east have
been here the past several days and
pronounce these works among the
best in the country.
VIM. Northey is one of Wahpe-
toms rustlers. He likes to sell
Hams beer, of St. Paul and has
taken the agency for the same, in
tending to spend much of his time
in pushing its merits and it's sale
here and perhaps in the country.
A warehouse and ice house will
soon be put up. The La Crosse
brewery has also put an agency in
here and will soon erect or lease the
necessary buildings for use in the
business. The Wahpeton Bottling
Works are doing rushing business
and making money. The Wahpeton
brewery, itself, is now making
much better beer than ever before.
So that upon the whole this city is
in a fair way to be we'll provided
with this refreshing beverage, and
Mr. Hamm has good man IN Mr..
Northey to look after his interests
here. lie won't be snutfed out, nor
blown off in froth. Notwithstand-
ing all this beer-news it has been
next to impossible for the thirsty to
get a drink in town the past two
Sundays. And this is right.
