A Royal Game.


Charles l.. Norton, i'm St. Nicholas
Tennis has been a royal game; ; so very
royal that Edward III, (l395) decided that
no one but kings and their associates should
be allowed to play IL at ALL and his example
was followed by Henry w., Henry WILL,
and other reigning sovereigns of England
and France. 1t kept gaining in popularity,
however, and some sort of outdoor tennis
was played with inflated balls very carly in
the history of the game.
Every little while the royal commands
would be forgotten, or some convenient war
would break out and, after IL was over,
tennis would 81 bob up serenely," as very
popular amusement Henry VIII. had the
tennis fever in violent form, and the most
famous royal set ever played was that i'm
which Henry VIII. of England and tho
the Prince of Orange aud tho Marquis of
Brandenburg, while the Earl of Devopshire
" stopped" (that is, picked up balls and kept
county for one side and Lord Edmund
Howard did like service for the other side.
At last the kings gave up the vain attempt
to keep so capital a game to themselves and
graciously vOuchsafed ii To their loyal sub
jects, simply because they could no longer
prevent their playing. or course, there still
remained the difficulties arising from the
great costliness of regular courts, but these
could not interfere with outof-door tennis.
This was however, very unscientiiic sport,
and was, of course, despised by the gentry
who could afford TO play the court game.
In fact, ii was not until a very few years
ago that the play-loving English public
awoke to the fact that some one had reduced
OutOf-dOor tennis to science; that some
thing very like court tennis could DO played
ON the lawn, under tho blue sky; and that
''pent-house roofs" and galleries, ratings,
tambours, clases, and tho rest were relics of
the dark ages

wadena County Fair,

AS next Monday is the first day of
the Fifth Annual Fair Of the Wadena
County Agricultural Society, we wish
again to impress upon the minds of
our business men, mechanics and
farmers, the Importance If making
good exhibits. 1t is not merely for
the purpose of receiving prizes that
exhibits should be made. There is
somthing of far more Importance than
this that such exhibits should be
made. It should be for the purpose
Of showing to outsiders that this
country is productive one and thus
induce others to come in and settle
and cultivate the large tracts of unin-
proved land in the county and yicin-
ity. Manufacturers should make ex-
hibits of their articles to show that
manufacturing can be made a success
here, and thus induce others to locate
here and engage in other branches of
manufacturing. Olr business men
should all make nice displays of their
merchandise to show to outsiders that,
although this county is new, business
is carried on here OH a large scale
successfully. All those things help
to fill up and make something for
spectators to look at, SO that when
they go home they will not say that
there was nothing to be seen at the
Wadena County Fair. Where good
displays are made in Il tasty manner
they leave an impression on the minds
of the spectators that are lasting and
some good is sure to grow out of it. A
County Fair is one Of the best places
for farmers to meet and look at the
cereals exhibited by each other and
to talk over the best methods Of cul
tivating, etc. A great. deal Of good
information can be exchanged: The
matter Of VIII haIs sAaEe i1s Of cattie, ,Eorses,
sheep, swine. poultry, etc., are the
most profitable to be raised and the
best manner Of taking care Of them
can also be discussed to a great ad~
vantage. In fact more good infCrma-
tion can be CLEANED at a Fair in two or
three days than 10y reading for
months. IT everyone will take an in
terest in the fair and make some kind
of an exhibit, however small it may
be, it will be a success. and we have
every reason now to believe that such
| will be the case.
The Northern Pacific farmer., 1885-09-17
Suicide:

The first suicide that was ever COM
mitted in Wadena was on Monday
night Sept. 18th. Mrs. Anna Koch
who resided on Averill street between
First and Second streets, has for
several months past appeared some
what deranged. Her husband, Julius
Koch, died last April and ever since
that time Mrs. Koch has not been in
her right mind. She was taken very
sick soon after his death and at one
time it was thought that she was dead.
She, however, survived, but her mind
was not right and never has been
since that time. Mrs. Koch was of
German descent and was about 30 years
old, On Monday she had told Mrs.
Dayer, the lady who WAS staying with
her, that she had u notion to 60 to the
railroad track and throw herself un-
der the cars. Mrs. Bayer, however,
succeeded in persuding her rot to:do
so. They all retired Monday night
at about 10 o'clock. Mrs. Bayer says
that she woke up about 2 clock and
everything was quiet and she went
to sleep again an: did not wake until
5 o'clock in the morning when she
discovered that Mrs. Koch was miss
ing and the back door was open.
Thinking of what Mrs. Koch had toll
her the day previous she sent her lit
tie girl to Mr.. Katzky and Mr. Walio
to give the alarm, and they imme-
diatelv set out to search for her on
the railroad track suppo sing that she
had probably gone there rs she had
threatened to do, but she was not to
be found in that direction. They then
went to the house and seached it
through and from there to the barn
and as they ascended the stairs they
both saw her suspended from the roof
with rope around her neck, dead. A
barrel stood by her side on which she
had probably climbed, fixed the rope
around her neck and jumped otf-into
eternity. Mr.. Katzky and Mr.. Wal
do Immediately called in Coroner
DIR, G.. A. Crolnett and ajury was
summoned and an inquest held. The
Jury consisted of Chauncy Potter, John
Hayton, n. w. Briggs, &. W. Fol
lett, G. M. Migge and L. Metzger
After due deliberation the verdict of
the jury was that Mrs. Koch had com
mitted suicide by strangulation. Mrs
Koch leaves one child little boy s''
wears old. Her remains were lnoertec
in the Wadena Cemetery ye5teroa
afternoon.

Hold Your Wheat.

The cause Of the low price of new
wheat is puzzle to everyone. 1t is
an undisputed fact among the best
authorities on wheat that it is bound
to bring a better price in the near
future. The elevators in Wadena
will allow the farmers, by paying a
small storage fee, to store their wheat
and will advance them money on it.
This will enable those who have
small bills to pay to do so without
sacrificing their grain. Don't sell
your wheat at present, farmers. That
is the advise that we would offer.
The following editorial from the
Mark Lane Express, agricultural
authority in England, is worthy of
thought by farmers in this vicinity
as we'll as in England: "Farmers,
hold your wheat-if you can! This
is the advice which, for the first time
in my lite, l venture. to gives Since
have been acquainted with farming
there has not been year when the
policy of holding wheat was SO
strikingly desirable as it is this
season. In view of future supplies
current prices are something like an
insult to growers. In America there
is about the worst crop on record ir
South Russia failure of the crops is
reported; in the rest of Europe, ,in.
Guiding the United Kingdom, tue ag
gregate yield will probably be unde
average and Australia has very littl
more to send us this year, There i
a good crop in India. it is true; bu
it will not come here freely at curren
prices. Whence, then shall we &c
the 100000 Or 100000 quarter
we shall probably require to import
The Northern Pacific farmer., 1885-09-17

We receive wheat in small quantities
from so many sources that there is
no fear of scarcity, but we shall GER
tainly have to give q higher price
than we are now offering. long before
the end of the cereal year just begun
in order to supply the population
with bread. If farmers do not flood
the markets with the new home crop,
a rise will probably take place soon :;
but if they follow their usual practice
it may be deferred until foreigners
will get nearly all the benefit Oft
Let English farmers keep in mind the
fact that circumstances bearing upon
the wheat supply are very peculiar
this year, justifying peculiar policy
among growers. AS q rule it does
not pay to hold wheat; but this year
am convinced it will pay.

The New Shell Prairie Road.

The formation of good direct high
way communication with the
districts surrounding Wadena is a
work of necessity, to provide means
both of approach from thence and ac-
cess to them for settlement. Appre-
ciating this the Village Council ap-
p:opriated the sum of $500 for the
purpose of opening a road to the Red
Eye river, there to join another ex-
cellent one already made north to
Manter and Park Rapids, An ap.
preparation OF like amount has also
been secured from the State to be ap-
piled on the same road. Contract 8
for clearing the timber and brush and
-eas-~.es.(74,aes5Hi,aees zere let to the set
tiers Though whose vicinity the roau
passes. Many of these contracts are
already fulfilled, and with the CON-
plction of all a highway between three
and four rods wide and fifteen miles
long will have been formed. Over
any part Of it good load can now be
hauled. The route selected is re-
markably free from wet, low-1ying
land and the necessity of corduroying.
Excepting slight detours to avoid
swamps the road pursues a direct
northerly course from Wadena to the
Red Eye through a heavily timbercd
region. The road, although perfect
ly good for hauling loads is, nevcrthc-
less, far from being a carriage drive.
Not until a seasons travel has made
a we'll beaten track will comfortable
driving become possible. AS it is at
present even the most careful driving
is an endless series Of jolts and
jumbles. This is the only disadvan.
tage however apart from this objection
the road will be excellent and it also
will be overcome by time snd traffic.
