near Christine, this county, and by

pie with the toboggan slide, and
Wahpeton is not to be sighted in
this respect. W. a. Seely is having
a slide built at the foot of Iowa ave.,
near Mayor Miller's residence, and
proposes to fire 'em off toward Mr..
Pierce's residence up the Bois des
Sioux, distance of, probably, a
thousand yards. Mr.. Seely will have
a warm and comfortable room for
the pleasure seekers while they are
awaiting their turn to fly on one of
the three tracks it is proposed to
put in. There is now no skating
rink of any sort and the indications
are there will be very few "shows''
along this winter, so that it would

well patronized. 1t is at least a re-
creation and livley one.

mingly in his business, it seems a
misfortune overlook some $4,000
worth of goods in their manufac-
ture, and it crowded him to the wall,
so to speak. His friends are sorry
for his misfortune, but feel conf
dent that Mr.. Schmitt will make the
business 60 as it'has never gone be.

added to his financial ability and
natural energy and we'll directed
business purposes, will give Wahpe-
ton just what is wanted--a good
brewery. Such is calculated to save
thousands and thousands of dollars
to Wahpeton, annually. And this
is business.
