Y We believe VIM. Northey rather
takes the palm as Wahpeton's florist.
Among his great variety of flowers
he has what he calls a ghost plant,
which blooms in the night, much
shaped like morning glory, but is
very large-as large in, fact as the
old fashion school bell used to be,
say for instance, the flower is seven
or eight inches in length and six
inches across the outer portion--and
pure white. The plant was sent to
Mr.. Northey from New York and
has attracted great deal of atten-
tion. He has taken a plant from
his garden and will try and preserve
it for display at the fair.
The Silver Herb company are
giving a very creditable show in
their tent near Miss Briggs old
millinery store. The free exhibi-
tion outside consists of high wire
ascensions. and is very good. The
performance inside, costing only
10 cents admission, is excellent.
Mr.. Brandon on the slack wire is an
artist in his line; Mr.. Moran in fly
ing trapeze and horizontal bar work
is first class The Senator is good
as is Mr.. Bryan in his "silence and
fun" act. The farces are all fair,
and taken as whole it is better than
lots of so cent shows. They will be
here the rest of this week and dur
ing the fair.
Consul Boysen from Norway and
Sweden for North Dakota, making
his home and headquarters at Grand
Forks, was in the city Monday.
Tuesday and Wednesday, the guest
of M. M. Monson of the Great Nor
thern railway at this point, and
while here paid TIE TINES pleas
ant call. The consul is very en-
tertaining gentlemen and best of
all is superb Democrat. In fact
Mr.. Boysen takes lively interest
in the affairs of his people and
naturally in the political affairs of
the country, often going onto the
platform-and they do say there is
a crashing among the Repubs and
protectionists when he gets after
them. We hope he may do some
stumping when the campaign shall
have been opened this fall. He re.
turned Wednesday afternoon.
The Austin Register, 2Sth ultimo,
comes to our table in a the form Of
a mammoth boom edition. Austin
is one of the most beautiful, sub
stantial and progressive cities in
southern Minnesota. and the
Register is its pioneer and ever re.
liable sentinel, who for a quarter of
a century has battled for Austin's
prosperity. and in obedience to
that we'll known law of eternal
vigilance being the price of liberty,
it never sleeps and is never weary ;
the good people there ever and anon
opening its sparkling pages to their
pleasure and their profit. The We.
teran printer, editor, publisher and
literator. H. O. Basford, having
grown silvery in the peoples ser.
vice, deserves all the good things
this rich and generous community
can bestow upon such a benefactor
-benefactor in the broadest and
deepest sense of the word. Lono
life to The Register and long NAV
flourish the master spirit which now
directs that craft on to q noble des-
tiny and may there be other
bright and ponderous boom edi,
tions along thy pathway.
