The Manitoba passed Wahpeton
yesterday with two monstrous trains
loaded with old wheat; warehouse
men are preparing for the new crop
that must very soon be thrown onto
the market.
That is good thing the city
council has done in ordering three
public water troughs on Dakota.ave.
One goes in near Mr.. Miksche's
store, another near DR.. Parkyn's
livery stable and the third on the
corner Of this avenue and Eighth St.
This will tend to water stock of all
kinds, and really be good thing if
not allowed to run over, and other
wise become a nuisance.
The Reliance Hose company held
its annual election of officers Tues
day evening at the city hall, the fol-
lowing being the result: President,
w. E. Hanly; vice president, Geo.
Harff; secretary, J. r, Davenport;
treasurer, Nels Nelson; foreman,
M. V. Ingram; first assistant, H. r..
Robinson; second, j. T. Wells;
finance committee, M. o. Bickford,
Geo. Harff and Jas. Cooper.
The city authorities should, we
think buy scythes and compel the
tramps to NOW down the weeds
along the sidewalks of the city and
do other cleaning up. The officers
ought at the same time not allow
sight-seers to stand around making
remarks about the proceedings.
This has discouraging effect on
the workers. They are human and
have feelings, as was shown We'd
nesday. But then they ought to be
made to NOV down the weeds in the
city-or leave.
We would suggest that, inasmuch
as the proposed new round house at
Breckenridge will do away with the
bridge south of the present struc-
ture, the authorities there in teal
ing up the same utilize it in the
construction of a walk and railing
along the edge of the emdankment
overlooking the river just north of
the present round house. We do
not, of course, charge the boys any
thing for this suggestion, but offer
it on the score of good willard
safetysto man on earth.
This afternoon "a special train
brought a wounded spiker off the
Manitoba road to DR.. Swaine's hos
pital, named Peter Devlin. 1t seems
that he in some way allowed his
spike maui to glance over under
the maui of a fellow workman who
struck it, knocking the handle up
ward out of Peters hands striking
latter in the chest, as he bent over
his work Of striking the spike the
last light blow, Peter drove two
spikes after being hurt and then
suddenly swooned away and remain
ed unconscious for an hour or such
4 matter. When he arrived here
was in great pain and could not tell
where lie was from. DR.. Sawine
gave him immediate and efficient
service. He seemed badly hurt but
may recover.

TAKING AND GIVING ADyICE-Ta-
king good advice is quite different
thing from giving good advice. Al
most everybody knows Lox 10 do the
second; next 70 nobody knows how to
do the tirst. Yet taking good advice
Is. nominally. at least. quite a. impcr-
tant a. giving good advice; and in
the present state OF the world, 1t is
much more important. What a sud-
den change there would be in this
laundering old world. il the taking of
good advice were as easy and as plea
SAINT as It's giving.
Ii was a favorite thought aud con-
ceit OF the classical writers that men
were divided into three classes: Men
who. themselves, knew what they
ought to do; men who did not them
selves know, but who were willing TO
learn from others what they should
do, aud men who neither knew nor
would learn from others what was best
for them TO do. III one cannot belong
to the choice few who form the tirst OF
these three classes, he ought, at least.
to see that he does not belong to the ig-
noble many who form the third.

GOING A-FIsHING.-The fishing sea-
son is thoroughly in force at present,
and the efficient and experienced liar
emerges from his lair and takes ad-
vantage of the occasion.
He sits there patiently all day amid
the mosquitoes and rattlesnakes and
anacondas and poison nettles and red
ants that chew holes in him and lizards
that crawl into his boots until he
wishes he was dead; and over him
big trees bend, from the branches Of
which green worms fall on him and
crawl down his spine. and he throws
a rock at q COW which is coming to-
wards him, and the rock falls in a
bees nest, and the bees follow him up
and camp on him and dig caves in his
eyes until he stands on his head and
bowls.
And at night he gathers up the
three-inch scrub fish he has caught
and rubs mud in his ears to take out
the bee stings, and shakes the snakes
out of his pants, and fishes the lizards
from under his collar and starts for
home.
He swears by Saint Bugo that he
will never 40 fishing again. aud he
doesn until the next time. And
then the same old circus occurs again,
and it is followed by the same stern
VOW
loung man, if you must 60 fishing,
use some judgment. Don't go To the
woods OF to the water; 60 to the fish
market.

How TO TAKE A PAPER.-An sx.
change gives the following amusing
account OF the way a farmer was
taught how cheaply he could take a
paper. The lesson is worth consider
alton
You have hens at home of course.
Well / will send you my paper for one
year for the products of a single hen

seems triAing. prepOsterous, to imag.
inc the products of a single hen will
pay a subscription--perhaps it won't
but make the offer.

ness of the affair.
The farmer went of apparently
much elated with the conquest the
editor went on his way rejoicing.
Time rolled on, the world revolved
on its axis, and the sun moved in its
orbit as it formerly did. The farmer
received his paper regularly and re-
galed himself with the information
from it, and said he was surprised al
the progress Of himself and family in

editor. extending his hand with a
bland smile. Take a chair and be

Yes, sir. quite fine indeed he an

sued, during which our friend B.
hitehed his chair backward and for
