A Golden Wedding.

We clip from the Middletown IN. W
Daily Press of Feb. "a, the following ac-
count of golden wedding" that recently
took place in that city. The lady, Mrs.
Millspaugh, is sister of our worthy coun-
I gty auditor, Prof. Frank B. Wells. Mrs.
Lindsay, mentioned among che guests from
New York city, is also sister of Prof.
Wells. The Press says:
very pleasing affair occurred Monday
evening at 1876 Wickham avenue. The oc-
casion was the celebration of the fiftieth
anniversary of the wedding of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. H. Millspaugh. The rooms were
handsomely decorated with flowers, and a
wheel of gold, which was suspended from
the wall, bore the figures 1841-1S91. It
was before this wheel that the couple stood
and received the congratulations of their
friends Monday night. There were numer-
GUS presents, among which was hand
some china tea-set from the session of the
Second Presbyterian church, of which Mr..
Millspaugh Is member. Among the
guests were DR.. Isaac Millspaugh of Staten
Island; Mr.. and Mrs. Lindsay, Mr.. and
Mrs. Thompson and Miss Austin, of New
York city: Mr. and Mrs. Theodore j. Den
ton of Denton; Mr.. and Mrs. c. E. Sayre
of Watertown; Miss Boak of Scotchtown.
Miss Preston of this city, the bridesmaid,
and Miss Boak were at the wedding in 1841,
and were present Monday night. The
evenings happiness was greatly enhanced
by the appropriate remarks of Rev. Chas.
Beattle.

SETTLERS ARE COMING.

Last week Joseph Nudleman left Bis
marck for South Dakota, to do missionary
work among the Jewish settlers who have
recently located in that arid region. There
are thirty-fve families in one colony who
are dissatisfied with the place where they
have been induced to settle, and Mr.. Nudle-
mans object is to bring them up into
North Dakota and locate them in Mclean
county, where there is plenty of excellent
farming land yet available, an inexhausti-
BILE supply of coal and wood for fuel, and
an abundance of good water. This is but
the commencement of boom for Mclean
county, and with the assurance of the
$500" road, ought to be strong induce
ment for our present farmers to redouble
their energies in the direction of agricul-
ture and stock.

Joe Katz, who has been officiating as
chef de cuisine at the Hotel Locke at Pierre,
returned to Bismarck yesterday.
The above item was clipped from
Wednesdays Tribune, and reminds us of
the fact that Mr.. Katz informed the Lead
er on Thursday that it was his intention to
remain on his farm in Nettle Creek town
ship, Mclean county, this summer, and
engage in farming and stock-raising more
extensively than he has ever done before.
He will put the largest portion of his farm
into crop in the spring, and stock the sur
rounding range with sheep. He thinks
there is no county in either of the Dakotas
that can beat Mclean.

John McJannet, treasurer of Ward coun-
ty, and the irrepressible Peter Funk, are
two characters which Minot feels proud of,
but both are inveterately "bad men" and
practical jokers. Peter, however, has evi-
IDENTIFY proven too much for Mac, as will
be seen BY what the latter told the repor-
ter of the Minot Journal the other day:
II don't know any news. But it is my
fervent wish that County Auditor Funk
may be denied harp when he reaches that
evergreen shore, for his wicked action in
putting cayenne pepper on my Office stove.
Maybe he may never reach that golden
land, but may get into that region where
1t g 2OOo in the shade all the year round,
and where even cayenne pepper would be
q cooling draught.

Jamestown Capital: Near the close of
the session of the last congress the presid-
ent sent to the senate the appointment of
Thomas E. Olsgaard, of Fargo, as register
of the land Office at Minot. The appoint
ment was made upon thre recommendation
of Hon. M. N. johnson, congressman elect
for North Dakita. When the appointment
came before the senate for confirmation
Senator Casey objected on the ground that
he did not know the man, and this objec-
tion prevented action during the session
and the appointment landed beyond the
session between wind and weather, neither
confirmed nor rejected. The president
has now re-appointed Mr.. Olsgaard and be
has sure thing of it until the senate
meets again next December.

Consumption Cured.

An old physician, retired from practice,
having had placed in his hands by an East
India missionary the formula of simple
vegetable remedy for the speedy and per-
manent cure of Consumption, Bronchitis,
Catarrh, Asthma and all throat and Lung
Affections, also positive and radical cure
for Nervous Debility and all Nervous Com
plants, after having tested it's wonderful
curative powers in thousands of cases, has
felt it his duty to make it known to his suf-
fering fellows. Actuated by this motive
and desire to relieve human suffering, I

it, this recipe, in German, French or Eng
lish, with full directions for preparing and

A Railroad in Mclean County Soon to
Become q Reality.

The question of a railroad through this
section of country is the all-absorbing topic
among the farmers of Mclean and adjoin-
ing counties. The isolation from mar
ket and the uncertain and difficult means
of transportation by teams for long dis
tances over the prairies render agricultur-
al pursuits decidedly discouraging, and
settlers are becoming dissatisfied and rest
less. It is only the hope that something
may turn up'' which has held them to
their farms, and this hope they have cher
ished for years under promises and rumors
of coming relief But the LEADER believes
the day is dawning-that the darkest hour
is passed-and that this region of country
is about to enter upon new and prosper
ous era.
The bonds for constructing the $500"
line have been sold and the money is in
bank, and the LEADER has positive assur-
ances that the road will be ironed to Bis
march before August LIST, and that the line
will be pushed up the Missouri into Nc
Loan county as rapidly as possible. Its
course will be northwesterly, the intention
of the company being to tap the Canadian
Pacific in the Northwest Territory Brit
ish Columbia-) The terms of the bonds
are such that the road MUST be pushed
through, and our people here need not be
surprised if they see the cars running into
Washburn within the next fourteen months.
This is no idle talk. We have no desire to
get up boom, nor do we wish to create
false hopes in the minds, of our readers,
but the fact that the several railroad COM
panies have decided to construct over 5000
miles of new road in the northwestern
states during the coming season, warrants
US in expressing the conviction that Nc
Lean county will have two lines of rail-
way passing through her territory before
the first of January, 1898.
Adaptable to agricultural pursuits and
stockraising, with an inexhaustible supply
of Ignite coal of superior quality, and
with every section of land available, Nc
Lean county is destined to become one of
the richest and most prosperous counties
in the state of North Dakota. The settler
who is now here, who sticks to his farm
and screws up his courage" for another
twelve-month, will have no cause for re-
gret. The curtain is raising, and new
and refreshing scenes will soon appear in
the arena.

Three or four members have died outright,
and Lieutenant Governor Hoffman is re-

twenty members still linger at the capital

Kyle should give it away sooner.

was given at the residence of G. M. Griffeth
in this place last Tuesday evening, which

several hours at the shrine of the goddess

Fitzgerald was violinista.
A genuine Asiatic peddler named George
Joseph, hailing from Jerusalem, registered

cheap articles of fancy notions, weighing
altogether about sixty pounds. Who
wouldn't be peddler with such privi-

watched with an earnest solicitude for a

were doomed to disappointment. The ped
agogical David was alone, and he walked
forth with 'sgrip" in hand as majestically
and serene as drum major in Fargo

wanted to smoke.

Fargo Argus: The revenue law is inter-
preted to authorize assessment of real es-
tate every two years in the even numbered
years, while in the odd numbered years,
section 33 of the laws of 1880, which was
not changed by the last session, provides
that the assessor shall add to the real estate
assessment all real property which may
have become subject to taxation within
the previous year, and the increased value
of buildings constructed, where the same
is over 800. He may also deduct losses
caused by fire, food or otherwise.

in favor of McGahan of the Minot journal
for the accuracy of his clerical work, and a
recent issue of the Bismarck Daily Tribune
