Father Rabstineck made II minis
terial trip to Grafton and vicinity
last week, returning last evening.
The reverend father expects to pay
Il visit to his friend Bishop Zardetti
ut ST. Cloud, Minnesota, in the

The first half of the present week,
Dakota has experienced the coolest
weather Of the present winter.
1t was old fashioned winter wealth er.
Dakota, however, has not yet been
troubled with snow, scarcely enough
SO far in this section for sleighing.
Protracted meetings have been in
progress at the Congregational
church this week with much inter-
est. They will be continued all OF
next week. Mr.. Stickney, of Har-
wood, this state, assisted Mr.. La
Bach this week, and Sec'y Ewing
Of jamestown will be here Sunday
morning and evening and will re-
main through the coming week to
assist the pastor.
>Joseph kenerson is filling Daw-
son Bells ice house, and in order
to get snow track, goes through
allies, having taken up the side
walk near the Congregational
church, which being left up during
the past few nights has been some-
thing of an annoyance. ID. L. Rice
fell headlong off the end of the
sidewalk one night as did David
Purdon. Joe is mighty good
fellow, but he should not leave the
sidewalk opcnd nights.
DR.. Swaine arrived in the
city Friday morning last, and
he and DR.. Quick have been
busy since that time, having
made several important opera
tions on some of their patients, in
the matter OF removing tumors, etc.
Ii one drops into DR.. Quick's Office
he may see some of them. DR..
Swaine leaves Friday evening for
Duluth where he expects to loca te.
The doctor looks we'll and his many
Wahpeton friends hope for his good
health and success, wherever he
may locate.
The Hanly brothers have secured
Henry Nielneyer Of Milwaukee to
take charge of the prescription de-
partment of their drug store, and
to otherwise make himself useful
about the establishment. Mr..
Niemeyer is graduate of the
Chicago college of pharmacy and
comes well recommended. Joseph
having turned his interest over to
his mother and grand mother, the
business, we understand, is of course
to be managed with a due Difference
to the interests of these ladies.
The entertainment given by the
Wahpeton cornet band, Saturday
evening, was Il fine display of lar-
mony, good taste and music in all
the words imply, and was attended
by Il crowded house. The number
Of participants on this occasion was
not large, there being only eight or
ten mouth-pieces, but what there
was Of it-was good. The cornet
solo by Prof. Braun was much ap-
preciated as was the baritone solo
by "Es' Roger. The imitation of
the sleighing party and that of the
railroad train were new to many
and were much appreciated. The
professor says he will give another
sometime in the future with IL
change of program.
The genial and popular DR.. M.
N. Triplett, SO long a successful
practitioner at Kindred in this
county, has decided to locate in
Wahpeton, and already has an office
there, with a growing practice.
Those who have known the doctor
speak of him in the highest praise.
DR.. Triplett's record among the
Cass county medical men is excellent
and the Argus hopes for linn a
welcome in his new field, COM
mensurate with his genial qualities
and professional ability. While
regretting the DOCTORS loss to
Kindred and to this county, con-
gratulatlons are extended to the
people of his new home, with the
assurance that a long acquaintance
with DR.. Triplett renders the Argus
fully competent to speak unhesi-
tatingly of his good qualities. MAY
he have abundant success. Daily
Argus.
