Mr.. and Mrs. John Radka OF
Brandenburg have lost five children
there, and it would seem the board
of health cannot get out and look up
the matter any too soon.
We asked John Nelson for a SCRAP
of news this week. when he in his
usually cheerful mood said that if
We saw anybody who wanted to
learn of anything to send them to
him.
The man Otto who is on, NJ. T..
Rich's farm near town, had the

recently. 1t seems the animal got
down in the stall and in lunging
about broke it's back and had to be
killed.
Mrs. William Boclke of Branden-
burg died Sunday last and was
buried Wednesday of this week.
Mrs. Boelke was 43 years of age and

pathy of large circle of friends.

Theo. Doerr, the contractor has
given Frank Schneller's hotel and
sample room quite an overhauling,
having put in a new floor, SC. But
Mr.. Schneider will not occupy the
building himself. he having already
leased it for two years to Henry
Bodson who now has possession. 1t
is now fixed up in good shape, and
we wish Mr.. B. all success. Frank
thinks lie will 60 to Duluth.
At the Carnival in St. Paul last
week there were "a curling rinks,
each composed of four persons con.
testing for prizes, and the contest
lasted four days. The Winnipeg
rink. Hartstone, skip, took the first
prize. The st. Paul rink John
McCulloch, skip, took the second
prize. The contest was open to the
world, and the playing was the best
ever seen in St. Paul, and there is
doubt if Montreal ever saw better.
Mr.. McCulloch who took second
prize is a brother of Wahpeton's
Archie McCalloch, and to this ex.
tent Wahpeton is interested in tile
result.
The TINES has been favored with
a very neat pamphlet, the minutes of
the Aberdeen one state convention,
and in looking over the same we OBJ
serve that THE TINES has made a
a misstatement in mention of that
meeting. 1t seems that while we
were out on committee vote of
the convention was taken by coun-
ties as to the manner of selecting
the delegation to Washington, and
it is true Major Edwards voted 80
delegates while four voted in sup
port of Col. Greene's motion on
that question. This motion was
to appoint two men from each
of the six judicial districts
and three at large, while
others wanted the delegation to
consist of the chairman of each
county delegation present. But the
original motion prevailed, there be-
ing 1854 votes for it and 306 against
it. We being out of the hall at the
time, thought the voting through
out had been simply by viva voce.
Had the vote gone the other way it
would have made no difference as
10 Richland county's interests in
the premises, as Mr.. Purcell was the
chairman. We presume, however,
no one doubts the wisdom of the
convention.
