The Wahpeton Times comes to our
exchange table this week in birthday
attire marked 1s79-1S91. The Times
has closed its twelfth successful year
and is pardonably proud of its sue
cesses. Not many papers in the state
can claim so long an existence. AS
a boom edition we have never seen it
excelled by weekly in the state.
Its sixteen pages are almost wholly
devoted to careful "write-ups" of
Richland county. Brother CARED
has done credit to the press of the
state.--[Walsh County Record.
~
We were agreeably surprised on
opening our mail yesterday morning
to find copy of a large special edi-
tion of The WAHpEToN TIMES, con-
tanning extensive write-ups of the
several towns in Richland county
and a special Article on TIE TIMES
own town-Wahpeton. The edition
consists of twelve large we'll printed
pages and cover, and its typographi.
cal appearance is above reproach.
Bro. CARED done himself proud, and
THE TIMES special edition would be
credit to many printing Offices of
much greater capacity Forman

Editor CARED gave his readers a
treat in the 18th annual number of
THE TIMES, issued last week. The
writer remembers the time when the
production Of Ouch an artistic piece
of newspaper work could not we'll
have been done in TIE TIMES
office. Cared has worked hard to
build up a good newspaper and he
has Succeeded. lie is good news
paper man and good citizen. He
deserves his success. No warmer
wishes for its continuance can be
entertained than those of the Tel
ler. The Democratic party in Rich
land county owes more to TIE
TIMES than it has ever recognized or
paid. That paper has made the
qualification of the party possible
and, in great measure, brought it
about. Many crumbs has Cared
cast upon the waters. They are re-
turning loaves. The Teller is glad
it is So Minor Teller.

Once more it has been demonstrated
that criminal accusations ought not to b
made save on absolute proof. Recently
the household Of a gentleman well known
in business circles Of Gravenhurst, Ont.
was very much upset by the loss of a val
nab diamond ring belonging to a guest
n lady from New York. Suspicion at once
fell on n servant who was employed as
housemaid, but upon her continued and
earnest denial of the theft she was re.
tanned. A few days after the ring disap.
peared it was found under the lady's win.

had removed the diamond 20 keep it from
being identified. The mystery was solved
recently in n most unexpected manner,
for, in cleaning a chicken for dinner, the
cook discovered a small round object in
its craw, which was found to be the miss,
ing diamond. The supposition now is the
ring fell from the lady's hand while she
was in bed, and the clothes being shaken
next morning, it fell from them into the
yard, where it was found by the ben,
which, pecking the stone from the setting,
swallowed it,

wife. Her name is Rachel, and she has a
sister who is known as Margaret Brown.
The other evening Harry was ''givin' it

dead. Then she ran away, but afterward
fell into the hands Of the officers, and will

him for drunkenness aud disturbing the

Such is a brief resume of the bloodiest
encounter among newspaper men for many
years, the outcome of the most sensational
Sunday journalism yet known in Ohio-a
journalism as questionable as the results
are bloody. In the worst days Of the old
dueling times in the southwest, when, says
Harriet Martineau, duels were fought every
Sunday morning on the levee near New
Orleans, and there were thirty-one serious
street ARRAYS "A month-at that time, be 1t
repeated, women were always spared. In
all the fierce recklessness of the Rocky
mountain mining camps women were safe
alike from direct attack as well ms vile in
situation; but the writer's Of the Columbus
Sunday press dealt with each others female
relatives in language too plain to be quoted.

Osborn and lowering charged that the
Elliotts had let their mother die a pauper.
The Elliotts retorted that Osborn was a
thief, seducer and blackmailer, and that
lowering had bought his paper with the
profits Of a house Of bad repute. This was
published a few days after Levcring's mar.
riaEe. Osborn in The World charged
William J Elliott with being a debauche,
a drunkard, a wife heater, and an En-
glish spy in the Irish camp, and in the

openly stated, that he had held intimate
relations with a relative of the Elliotts.

a most remarkable monstrosity was
seen on the streets at Rome. Ga, the other
day. 1t was Jack Lacy, the ground hog
child as he has been called from his
startling resemblance to that animal
Lacy was horn in Cobb county, Ala.
sixteen years ago. He has every
characteristic OF the animal. His feet
and hands are clublike, he has no cheek
bones and the bones of his body are
double set without any joints. He can SEE
in the dark as well as in the light. His
only language is n grunt like that of a pig
He can only eat after his mother has
chewed the food. He never walks, but
stands in one position with a continue.
swinging motion, playing all the time
with a stick. Though 10 years old, he IL
only three feet seven inches high. His
face has all the outlines of a ground hog
and altogether the creature looks to be as
much beast as human.
