MCCARTHY Bios,
A friend Of j. B. Roots, near Ord
way, lost about s25oo by fire this
week. One thousand bushels of
wheat was destroyed and several
colts and calves were burned to
death.
The report came this week that
Harlem, Sargent county, was con-
sumed by fire, but we learn that on
ly one house was consumed. Tie
citizens had hard work to save the
place.
We neglected to mention last
week the burning Of VIM. Hutsin-
pliers new house, recently erected,
and several hundred bushels of seed
wheat. Mr.. II. has been very un-
fortunate, his loss being 500, he
informs us.
Mr.. Geo. Root. who has been
spending the winter in Vermont,
has returned to Oakes. He reports
everything dull and at stand still
about his old home. Mr.. Root has
the thanks of this Office for some
very fine Vermont maple sugar.
lie RxpUBLICAN notes Col. B. X.
Rowley back on his old run once
more on the G. & N. w. Rly. Col.
Rowley was one of the good men
that Gov. Church appointed as Rail
way Commissioner and Gov. Mel
lette, it seems, sees no way to retain
him.
County Superintendent Kent
held teachers examination in the
Oakes Public School building, Tues
day, which, in spite Of the storm. was
quite well attended. 1t takes more
than a hurricane to stop the average
Dakota school marm, and the pros
pective ones do not seem to lack in
pluck.
MI. j. G.. Linn will give Magic
Lantern Exhibition in Gorder's Hall
on Tuesday evening, April 9th, con-
sisting of scenes Of the late war,
pictures Of prominent buildings in
Washington, New York, London,
Paris and Venice. These are very
fine views and show very clear about
10 feet square.
Shelves are being placed in the
Gorder block on Second St., and
soon will BE- occupied by one of the
strongest firms in the West; and so
so it goes. Oakes is attracting capi-
tai and new people to us each day
and she will continue to do it until
we will soon count our population
by the thousands instead of the
hundreds.
MI. ]. c. Harper, who is visiting
the Nichols Bros, and other friends,
made us a pleasant call this morn
ing. He now resides in Minneapo-
lis, but as he has valuable land west
Of Oakes his heart is naturally with
his treasure. Like all others who
return and see the unparalleled sue
cess and growth Of this section he
regrets having left here.
