Mrs. Chas. Farley paid visit to
friends at Montevideo, Minnesota,

1t seemed like old times to see Mr..
Barnes in the Congregational pull
pit, delivering his rounded periods.
The parochial school will favor

quest of her as she is wanted tor the
races the Fourth.
Rev. G. b. Barnes is right happy
over a present Lady Barnes made
him Thursday of last. week, in the
shape of bright little daughter.
Between the college presidency, the
farms and that bran new girl, Papa
Barnes hardly knows what to do
first.
The people with the enlarged po-
litical wisdom must be accredited
with energy and versatility in the
matter of lnvention-eleventh hour

do when their supreme hour comes !.
Will they undertake to fool st.

Rev. w. +. Raasch of Rochester,
N. y. Will preach at the Baptist

Raasch is on his way to Grand

Bishop Zardetti of the st. Cloud
diocese. Minnesota. held a meeting
at Fergus, surrounded by several Of
the wideawake ministers of the
Catholic faith, hereabouts, last
week. among whom was the Rev.
FIR. Rabsteinek of Wahpeton, and
who subsequently remarked to us
that the meeting was happy and
successful one, aside from the fine
entertainment rendered the body by
the hospitable people of Fergus
Falls. The reverend gentleman
thinks that Fergus is a delightful
little city.
The funeral of Wallace H. Ohm
stead was conducted by Rev. Geo.
B. Barnes with Odd Fellow honors
at the Congregational church, Sat-
urday last, and the remains were
laid at rest in the Wild Rice ceme-
terry. The church was crowded to
it's utmost by Wallace's hosts of
friends. and Mr.. Barnes being at
his best, delivered a grand discourse
on the life of the human soul
reaching out into eternity. Mr..
Barnes always says something, and
on this occasion he was masterly.
The stricken family has the SYM
pathy of Il large circle of friends.
CIR. Engvike, near Mooreton, ,tele-
graphed Judge Orcutt, yesterday,
that his wife had become deranged,
and that the authorities were asked
to look after her. Some days since
Mr.. Engvike was in the city and
spoke to the Judge of the matter,
but said he would do all possible for
her, pending such time as she might
become unmanageable, when he
would call for aid. The misfortune
leaves a large family of small chill
dren without mothers care. Per-
haps the poor woman should have
been treated for the malady some
time since, before growing so des-
perate. The proper steps are now,
of course, being taken.
AS will he seen by proceedings in
another place, the board of educa-
tion last Saturday evening finished
the work of hiring teachers for the
coming school year, and the corps
now stands Prof. M. H. Robinson,
Miss Lucy Purdon, Miss Mary A.
frost and Miss Mary Aspinwall,
the assistant to the principal hav-
ing been dispensed with. Mr.. Rob-
insoE, Miss Purdon and Miss Aspin.
wall come highly recommended,
Miss frost holding over. There is
no question about it being of the
greatest Importance that the best
possible teacher be placed in the
primary department, and the board
submits that in Miss Aspinwall it
has every reason to believe that it
has secured precisely the person
wanted. judging from knowledge
of the lady and recommendation
from points where she has taught,
including Kandiyohi county, Min
nesota. She has not only shown
wonderful adaptabilityto this sort of
work and to conditions. as recon-
mended. but is simply an immense
worker. And Miss frost having
met with her usually good success
the past two years and having COM
piled with the requirements Of the
board, was re-engaged on her merits.
We feel warranted in these obser-
vations from the fact that some
criticisms have been made on the
selections. Let people investigate
for themselves and they will be con-
vlnced of the wisdom of the hoard.
