the seeded land in fine condition.

In spite of the unfavorable weather,
George Clark finished seeding on Wednes-
day of this week, all save a few acres of
oats which be intends sowing later as an
experiment.
Frank Saunders and w. B. Rea are to
the front in all their anadorned ugliness,
minus the graceful moustaches which
once graced the upper lip. And when
they walk, the town-site tips up.
We are grieved to notice the disposition
on the part of some of the members of the
Odd Fellows lodge in Bottineau, to''poke
fun" at a fellow when he was doing his
very best. Our worthy chaplain and treas
urer please take note.

Rost, who were united in matrimony on
the 21st inst. The ceremony took place
at Ole Roland's hospitable mountain man
sion. and was performed by Rev. c. D.

Capt. !. D. Eaton was over from Dun
seth Yesterday looking over the plans and
specifications for the vault to be built by
the county. The Captain is an expert
enced man in that line of work, where
brick is used, but the intention is to use
stone in this, so he will not bid.
Arthur Leary. mail carrier, between
Willow City and Bottineau, is to be COM
mended for his activity in getting the mail
here-when there is any mail to come.
He came In at go p. m. on Thursday,
rested about an hour. drove to Willow
City the same night and returned at the
regular hour the next day. Good boy!
At least one man in this town is bent on
having a garden-and something in it, and
that man is Pastor Collinge. Every morn
ing finds him up at the first call of Tin
cense breathing morn" urging the unwill-
ing oxen. smoothing the soil, sowing the
seed and preparing for an immense crop
of sauer-kraut, pickles and ~melon-cholic
days.
Mail came in about $50 on Thursday
night and ye P. M. was called out of the
Odd Fellows meeting to help distribute
the same. Papers and letters are both
about up to date and will probably con-
tinue So as there are now daily mail trains
running. 1t looks as if the attempt on the
part of the administration to bolster I'D
Hill in the matter of mail trains, is a fail
ure.
Among other statements in the letter re-
produced in another column, concerning the
condition of affairs here, we find this, that
We rave about 2, 1000 miles of inland freight
ing. This is is a huge mistake. From Bot
tineau to New York by rail is about 1900
miles, not to speak Of the large per cent. of
that dist re which can be made by water.
On somdl Dsher points, the gentleman is cor
rect, and'his advice good.
A few days ago a couple of half-breeds,
husband and wife, who we're on their way
to Bottineau and had camped for the
night, walked up in the morning and found
their little babe smothered and dead.
They brought the body to town and
can1ped near the creek. When it became
known, some ladies went to them, helped
prepare the little body for burial. and Of
fered what consolation they could to the
heart broken mother. "A touch of nature
makes the whole world kim"
Frank Holbrook and Hugh Mangan,
were sent out a few days ago by Sheriff
Gardner for a young fellow named
Schroeder. whose mental balance seems
to have become disturbed. He was Sc
cured with little trouble and brought to
town where the board of insanity adiudged
him insane. A careful investigation of
the case fails to show that his insanity
was caused by religious excitement, hence
there have been nc sensational kilograms
sent 70 the daily papers. II shows a
mighty mean disposition when a man re-
fuses 70 give satisfaction on that point.
