This bright and happy-minded old
lady was born in the Mohawk valley in
1910. Her father was Connecticut man
who came to the valley and married
the mother of the Mohawk Dutch
girl as she still styles herself. She
remembers well and graphically de-
scribes the troublous times and hard
fights with the Indians, who made life
dangerous at that time in the vi
cinity where she resided. The settlers
were obliged to keep near the forts, and
when a raid by the Indians was con-
templated they took refuge in the forts
until the savageS retired, when they
would again venture to renew their out
door work. She remembers well pick
ing up bullets which were fired through
the port holes into the fort. These, she
says, were all carefully preserved,
ammunition being particularly val
liable to the settlers. Her grand
father Lighthali served eight years
in WashingtOn's body guard, being the
at the age of 100 years. Her grand
mother, who died in the state of
Michigan, was active and bright at the
age of 10 years. In her youthful days
she taught school and became
thoroughly accomplished in all the
branches of education at that time
available to one of her sex. AS an
orthographist she is seldom excelled,
and prides herself upon family
contest which occurred eight years ago,
wherein she came out ahead over all the
younger competitors. In 1880 she mar
| ried ESeck Green and raised six daugh-
tiers and four sons, who have in the ag-
gregate forty-four children and grand
| children, SO that her direct defendants
now number fifty-four. Three of her
sons served in the war of the rebellion,
receiving many encomiums and promo
lions for bravery. She now makes
her home with her son, Il. D..
Green, in Fargo, Oak, and to all
appearances is as healthy and we'll as
any middle-aged lady. She has property
enough to support her in comfort while
she lives, which all trust will be many
years. One great source of pride with
Grandmother Green is that all her de-
scendants are people of high character,
industrious, honest and respected. She
is an accomplished conversationalist,
and an hour with her will convince any
one that she is Intellectually and physi-
| cally remarkable woman.

Changes in the Officers and Opera
tions of this Insurance Com
pany.
Special TO the Globe.
HURON, OAK, May II. - Several
changes have taken place in the officers
and employees of the Fidelity Insurance
company. At meeting of the stock
holders the resignation of Augustine
Davis as secretary was accepted, and
Charles E. Bryant was chosen addi-
tional assistant secretary, thus leaving
the office OF secretary vacant for the
present.
S. Cooley, the assistant secretary re-
tains his position. As secretary of the
Hail association Mr.. Cooley did splendid
work, and in his present position con-
tinueS to have charge of the farm and
hail departments. A. Wardall is gen
eral manager of the farm and hail de-
partments, and having with him Hon.
George G. Crosse, as general agent, will
push the Fidelity to the front in this
particular department of insurance.
Eugene S. Kane, for long time with
the Dakota Mutual, is now head book
keeper for the Fidelity. r. r. Wardall,
of Iowa, and II. p. Packard, of Redfield,
are in the office at present, but will soon
give a portion of their time to outside
business. Miss Carrie Crouch, steno-
grapher for the Dakota Mutual, takes
the same position with the Fidelity.
A contract has been made with Leslie
Durley, general agent, whereby he is to
establish the business of the company
in Arkansas. This arrangement will
necessitate the removal of Mr.. Durley
and his family from Huron.
The board of directors passed some
resolutions very complimentary to Mr..
Davis, the retiring secretary.
The affairs of the Fidelity are in
splendid condition, and the company re-
joices in the knowledge that its business
is rapidly increasing.

JUDGE BANGS VERSION.

He Explains Why the Day Men
Could Not Meet With the Church
Men.
There have been good many explain
ations published on the part Of the por-
ton of the Democrats who met under
the auspices of the majority of the gen.
eral committee, but little has been
heard of the other element. In an in
terview Judge Bangs, the chairman,
gives this view from his standpoint:
The town was full of as fine, bright
looking men as ever gathered in coun-
Gil. lyon my arrival was invited to
the Kampeska house, Church's head
quarters, and very thoroughly inter-
viewed by BOyntOn, Lawler, Gale. Meg

cation of the convention before it met
They wanted a tribunal to test contests
established, so that none but those they
thought worthy of seats could partici-
pate in electing Temporary chairman.
No conclusion was arrived. Well then
you see the committee met at the par
lors of the Grand Central, Wednesday,
at 10 a. m. with the eighteen deacOns of
the only true Dakota church present and
nine Democrats. The time for the next
convention was fixed on July II, 1888, at
jamestown. A resolution was then of
fered by one of the truly loyal that the
committee call upon county delegates to
submit their credentials to the secretary
of the committee, and that he,under the
direction of the committee, make roll of
such delegates as held certificates en-
titling them prima facia to seats, which
roll was to be used for the purpose of
effecting a temporary organization.
This was in my opinion startling de-
parture from established usages, and as
was pointed out to them, established
new tribunal which could most effect
ually determine the complexion of any
convention, don't you see? The chair,
upon the point being raised, ruled the
resolution out of order. Lawler. as
proxy, appealed, and after an animated

the resolution was adopted by
the usual vote, IS to 9. At
2 o'clock the convention was
duly called.to order at Music hall. and
Stoddard was nominated by the chair
man, but Reeves was offered as substi-
tute and duly elected. The committee
very wisely did not insist upon inforc-

were adopted and all was quiet and

FARGO, May 11.-Prof. E. Mono Oar

a style peculiarly his own, which has
been set to music by Prof bronson and
will be produced first in New York and
afterward in London, Christiania and
Paris, ending up the triumphal tour by
the grandest production of all, in the
basement of the Methodist church, this
city. True to his nature, Prof. barrow
son has chosen a ground work similar
to the PIRATES of Penzance," but has
brought it home to the hearts of the
people and especially women, by locat-

the Red River of the North. The prin-
cipal actors are already on the ground,
the chorus is being thoroughly trained
by Prof. B. Schmitson. and the dry
goods and hardware merchants are GET

possible. The estimated cost of the en-
tire outfit will not fall far short OF 500,
which amount is being freely contribu-
ted by the ministers of the city upon
the ground that Prof. Darrowson shall
accompany the expedition. Another 500
is offered by the mayor and chief of
police if Prof. Bronson will absent HIM

TOOK oRDWAY FOR A CnUMP.
In Which They Were Taken in as
They VIII be With Church.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May little trouble
with the Dakota politicians who used to
try conclusions with Gov. Ordway,"
says George P. Flannery, "was that
they always took Ordway for a chump
and a tenderfoot who had come to
Dakota to learn politics. They would
lay their plans and scheme for his NOR
tifcation and discontinue: but when
they sprung their traps they always
found that Ordway had been advised of
their games, had watched them, and
was ready to checkmate on every oc-
casion. They have found Church much
the same sort of fellow, in politics."
"Do you consider Church as great
Politician"
Not exactly great, in universal
sense: but he is great enough politician
to hold his own in Dakota. They are
all politician on Dakota soil, and they
all think they know everything in the
business, but they don't. Gov. Church
is one of the finest, and the peer of the
old timers. He hasn't been there many
years, but he has caught on amazingly
well. He will be there when lots of the
other fellows have dropped out Of

A. K. Blakstad is hearty son of

I'd day of February, 1906. He is of
lons-lived family, having a brother in
Norway ninety-two years old, and three
sisters in Wisconsin who have reached
the respective ages of eighty, eighty

years after his arrival here, tree fell

known being derived from that source.
His wife died in 1862. One son died in

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE recent
meeting of the Democratic national
committee is still fresh in the minds of
the people. The occurrences in that
meeting are more deeply impressed
upon the minds of the committeeman
themselves than upon the memories of
the public. They remember that NJ.
ii. Day developed strength sufficient to
dictate the place of holding the national
Democratic convention. German, Bar
bour, and the rest, have wholesome
respect for Days ability and for his
Judgment. That same national COM
mittee will meet in st. Louis, and Nj. ID.
Day will be there. Two delegations
will appear from Dakota asking admis-
sion to that convention. NJ. III. Day will
have something TO say, and his words
will be weighty with the committee. and
before the committee on credentials.
The territorial delegates, who are for
Cleveland because he is the best
man to nominate, are none the less
against Cleveland's carpetbag policy.
Day will tell them that the delegation
from Armory hall are followers of the
carpetbag governor; and all the ter
ritorial delegates will stand by Day
then as they did here last February.
The WatertOwn fight is not over yet.
lnasmuch as Cleveland is not candi-
date, he cannot make any suggestions
to members of the national committee.
How can he help the governor? Unless
something be done, Day will win after
all. There should be some scheme de-
vised at Bismarck right away, or the

HURON. OAK, May I'D. R. Grover,
chairman of the South Dakota Prohibi-
ton central committee has issued call
for a meeting OF the committee at
YanktOn on May 16, to put in nominal
ton candidate for delegate in congress
to be voted for at the November cleo
ton. 1t is announced that Hon. w. II.
Mills, of Ohio, will be present and adj
dress the meeting. Efforts are being
made to create boom for the Prohibi-
tiOnists in this movement, but so far
little has been accomplished. While the
Prohibitlonists in this part of the ter
ritory are willing to do any
thing reasonable for their cause,
few are in sympathy with this third
party movement. Mr.. Grover is the
leader, and took the initiatory steps for
the organization of the Prohibition
party of South Dakota at convention
held here the Goth of last March. At
this convention not twenty persons
were present. Grover was temporary
chairman, permanent chairman, mem
Der of the credentials committee and
committee on resolutions and also
chairman of the central committee.
Thus it will be seen that Grover is not
only the hub, but most of the spOkes in
the Prohibition wheel. 1t is presumed
his name will be suggested by many
friends" as candidate for delegate in
congress. No matter who is named. he
will be showed under so deep that he
will think something worse than a New

THE SCHOOL ELECTIONS
Designed. to Keep Out Politics,

3 but Not Entirely Successful.
special to the Globe
ALPENA, OAK, May 1.-THE election
OF the county superintendent comes off
June 10. The last legislative assembly
passed new law making this change.
The object of its change was to take the
election of the county superintendent
out of politics, and Jerauld county pro
poses most emphatically to keep it out.
Party lines will not be drawn, and
there will be no caucuses or con-
ventions for politicians to do
their Wrangling and wire-pulling
at. The candidates will announce them
selves through the country press. and
on election day the voters will meet at
the polling places and cast their ballots
for the man or woman of their choice.
They do not do things this way over in
Sanborn county, but party lines are
drawn and the fight is made on r. A.
Moses, the present superintendent and
Democrat. One of the Republican pa
pers of the county is defending him.
There are number of candidates
against him. and what the result will be
is hard to tell. In our own county there
will probably be one lady candidate
Mrs. c. V. Martin, of Waterbury-but a
majority of the people are in favor of
re-electing the present incumbent, |. S.
Binford, who will undoubtedly be re-
elected.

Fargo, to aid in building up jobbing

specially anxious to assist in this.
The Republican managers think they
nave got Edwards down, and with the
aid of Hon Waldo NJ. Potter can hold him,
put In the west part OF the county he is
beginning to loom up as candidate for
the council, and Plummer will boost
MIN In the center, so that if he has lost
his grip in Fargo he may yet down his
enemies and ride to Bismarck at the
expense of the territory.
The ladies of the w. C. T. u. are pre-
pairing to banquet Mrs. III. NJ. Barker as

hOnored professions. If he ever has la
bored day in Dakota soil his nearest
neighbo!S do not know of it. He has
not been preacher, lawyer, doctor.
teacher, a mechanic, farmer, stock
grower-anything- has never en-
gagged in anything whereby he could
earn an honest penny, so far as any
body is able to learn.
He is, however, a political Schemer.
There was never day of his Dakota
life when he was not engaged IN
scheme of some kind. We hear some of
his friends talk about his great mining
operations whereby he has made hum
dreds of thousands. We want to say
that this is all buncombe. By his.schemes
in the play of politics he may have made
some money-taXeS, as it were, drawn
from the pockets of his followers. He
may have sold some poStOfficeS and
some men, but he has never sold any
wheat. corn, oats, potatoes, hay, hogs,
hens, cows, colts or horses. He has no
claims on the people such as have been
accorded to him by some of the Repub-
Ecan papers OF the territory.
1t is time for Republican papers to
quit before they entirely commit them
selves to the Democracy-the worst side
at that. There are many good, honest
Democrats, who think they are doing
the right thing in supporting NJ. ii.
Day in his effort to divide their party.
If they want to do so let them go ahead;
but we want to say that no one man
will ever get bigger than his party as
long as that party is worth tying to.
Republican editors who are lauding
Day and pushing him on in the present
fight are only doing so through mis-
taken notions, or because they have an
axe to grind.
AS between an outsider and a Da-
kotian we are in favor of the Dako-
tian; but when we go into Democratic
politics for no other purpose than that
of creating division in the party, it
will be long while ahead. Republicans
are not reduced to that extremity in
this territory. We doubt if NJ. H. Day
would have made any fight to capture
the Watertown convention had it not
been for the influence of one or two
Republican papers. They patted him
on the back-and NJ. ii. Day loves self
and tatfy far more than his party.
These Republican papers have the
credit, however. of showing the exact
size of Nj. ii. Days vanity, greatly to
his diScredit.
No more complete explanation of the
motives which prompted Mr.. Day to
wage war upon Gov. Church than is
contained in the foregoing extract
Mr.. Jones has been near neighbor OF
Mr.. Day for about fifteen years, and is

Special to the Globe.
Z YANKToN, OAK, May lit is re-
freshing in the extreme to read Re-
publican newspaper and find that it
does not support Day in his fight against
the territorial administration. Hon. A.
Sheridan Jones, who was territorial SUI
perintendent of public instruction I'M
der Gov. Pierce, has this to say in the
last issue of his paper, the Oliyet Rural
Voice:
+ ssThe contest which has been tonight
between NJ. III. Day and Gov. Church
was, in fact, purely personal one. If
not, we are at loss to account for it.
Both Day and Church claim to be Cleve-
land men. If they are, what are they
fighting over? NJ. 81. Day is heralded
over the territory as Dakotian, while
Gov. Church is heralded as a carpet
Dagger. 1t is true that Day has been
here the longer of the two, but what par
ticular claim he has upon the peo-
pie of the territory on that account
is more than we are able to see.
Day is notthe character of an old set
tier imagined by some people who
know little of him. Candor requires
that we should draw marked line be-
tween him and other old settlers. He
did not come to Dakota to till the soil.
He did not come to engage in any of the
