balmy breezes, with clear blue sky and
radiant sunshine.

The wheat market has been booming
for the last few days. No. 1 hard,
reached as high as 933 cents in Duluth
and December sold at 98i. Elevator men
along the line between st. Vincent and
Crookston paid from "a to IS cents for
No. hard. At this writing, oath p. M.
wheat is about p cents lower than high
est point reached, but owing to light
receipts at grain centres it is confidently.
expected that No. hard will bring one
dollar in Duluth inside of thirty days.
which will bring North Dakota farmers
eighty cents for their No. hard.
WITHOUT any sympathy for the misers 1
BILE wretch who murdered Miss McEvau,
it is neve rtheless to be regretted that the
law was not allowed to take it's own eourse
which would have undoubtedly resulted
in the penalty of death to the criminal.
Mob law, in itself, is the enemy of the
true end Of justice. 1t is far better for
public morality that a murderer be pun
isled by the arm of the Law, rather than
voluntarily by an excited, revengeful
crowd of men, besides. if the practice is
the wrong man will some
times he punished before cool reason will I
have chance to assert itself.
The Autumn Festival held in the NJ.
E. Church last Friday evening was fairly
we'll attended and apparently enjoyed by {
all present. The church was artistically ,
decorated in autumn leaves and flowers;
the lunch was all that could be desired. Ii
but the program was the 'chief event. of {
The occasion. Readings by Rev. Mr..

and Miss Kate Abrams were much an
preciated by the audience. Some fine
cornet solos were given by Mr.. Evans, of
Emerson, accompanied on the organ by
Miss Guthrie, also of Emerson. Mr.. |,
Robertson, ofSt. Vincent, favored us with (
several solos which were heartily en-
cored. He accompanied himself on the /.
guitar. Solos by Mesdames Ryan and k
Niusselman, trio by Mrs. Ryan, Miss
Naylor and Abrams, and a quartet by |,
Misses Abrams, Naylor aud Thacker and
Mrs. Ryan were well rendered and /.
much enjoyed. The receipts of the
evening were $50.
