that memorable day our Senator,
Robert Campbell, shouldered his
shotgun, bestrode his gallant
charger, Sir Charles, and HE'D
him up the gulch hoping to bag
q few grouse along Kinnickinnic.
After his departure quietness
reigned supreme for about two
hours. This was broken by the.

The Hershfield suit, which has been
on trial at Fargo, has ended in favor of
the young wife. Mrs. Dell HershAeld.
The suit was brought to annul the mar
riage contract, which would have left Mrs.
Hershfield a mother without being a
wife. and would have illegitimatized her
child. Tho old sfoundrel, Hershfeld,
had bought up lot of perjurers to tes.
tify against his wife, and one of them,
named Henderson, admitted. on the wit
ness stand that he had been paid $40O
and. his expenses, by Hershfield, to 60 to
Fargo as witness. When he went out of
court. after he had testified, crowd fol-
lowed him, and he was glad to get out of
town with whole skin. It is credit 10
the true hearted people of North Dakota s
chief city that they were a unit in sym
pathy for the wife and mother whom un.
scrupulous persons we're attempting to
ruin through the power of their great
wealth.

The Big Blowout.

Brother Bryant, who attended the
recent supper and dance, says in his
paper, the Napoleon Homestead:
According to, announcement, the
officers elect in Emmons county enter.
tained their friends at Williamsport las,
night. About 200 people were present.
and listened to an entertaining and
instructive address by Senator Worst,
who is now our lieutenant-governor elect.
1t was stated that representatives from
five counties were present. After Mr..
Worst's remarks the audience was enter
tanned with music, and about 80 numbers
were taken for dancing. At II o'clock
supper was announced, and all enjoycd a
bountiful repast-fresh oysters, raw and
stewed; cold meats, cakes, coffee, and in
fact more good things to eat than we
can name, and pleasant, courteous wait
ers to attend to every wish. The best
was none too good for every guest.
The committee Of arrangements H.
Robinson, W. G. Packer aud Harper
Simcoke proved themselves to be the
proper gentlemen to prepare for, receive,
and make visitors comfortable. In fact,
we cannot say that any part of the enter
tainment could have been improved upon,
under existing circumstances. Emmons
couny people arc sociable, generous, and
enthusiastic entertainers, as ye editor
and family can truly say, and for which
we tender our thanks. After the ball
we visited the pleasant, cosy home of Nr.
Z. G. Packer, near Williamsport, and
greatly enjoyed an hour with the Buck
eye folks" and partook of breakfast
such as editors are always hunting.

Its Right. Too.

New York's new constitution, remarks
the Fargo Forum, has a stringent sectlon
prohibiting the use of free passes. A
writer says: "a conscientious Judge, id
trying case of personal friend, often|
braces his integrity too strongly, and, in
trying to be exactly perpendicular, leans
to the side opposed to that friend. The
rules applicable to judges and jurors
hold good in relation to all state officers
in their official dealings with corpora
tions.' But the Washington Post adds:
Many scandals, and some of them ex-
tremely unfragrant, have grown out of
ithe acceptance of passes by public off,
GERS in all parts Of the country. The
masses of the people - the supporters
of railways, telegraphs. telephones, etc.
would feel that their interests, which
often clash with those of such corpora
tions, were in safer hands il they knew
that their aw.makers and other public
servants had no dead. head arrangements
with transportation or transmission com i.
panies The ideal legislator does not
have his pocket crammed with passes
from corporations whose interests can
be affected by his vote.

trenchnent and reform, the Fargo Argus

Quarter of a Century AHO.

Mrs. Mary ]. Kelley died at the Lam
born hospital, Thursday, Nov. 90, 1894, at
about 7 a. M, of cancerous affection
Although her death was not unexpected,
it came 20 suddenly that none of the
family but her daughter Annie we're pres
eHt ut the time. She had been a sufferer
from the dreadful disease for some years,
but it was not until the spring Of 1898
that she realized what rapid progress it
was making. She then went to St. Paul
for treatment. She consulted the best
physicians in Minnesota, but found only
one that would undertake the case; and,
after an operation in which her life was
despaired of, he pronounced her cured
Pleased with the good news, she returned
home the following July, looking for
ward to long life with her children, to
whom she was devotedly attached. But
it was not to be. for within short time
after her return the cancer commenced
growing again and spread very rapidly.
Her sufferings we're intense at times, and
added to this she was constantly frettin e
fop>her loved ones.
/She was born at White Hall, N. Y,
Nov. 8, 1849, but most of her life was
spent in Minnesota and the Dakotas, she
having come to what was then the terri-
tory Of Dakota more than twenty. five
>xears ago.
She was highly respected and loved by
all who knew her She leaves four sons
and two daughters to mourn her loss, and
they have the sympathy of every one in
their bereavement. In the language of
one of her sons 'it was an autumn day
when we gathered from afar and found
only the tenement of clay from which
the soul had fed forever She looked
very natural, the hands vtry much as
when they were employed in kindness for
her children. As we stood there by the
casket, we could not help but say: May
God in heaven bless our gentle, patient,
long-suffering mother!' 1t was cloud
less day when with heavy hearts we car
ried her out TO her last stresting-place. No
more toll, no more tears, no more sick
ness! Dear Mother! Loving Motherl

q D0uble.Header.

On Wednesday, Nov. 81, out at Martin
Appert's place, double headed heifer
calf was born, but born dead. The two
heads were just alike, and the neck
branched apart about four inches back
of the ears. If the animal had been
born alive, it would have been worth
considerable as a museum curiosity.
However, it would not have been profit
able as an ordinary COW. because it had
two mouths to eat with, and only one
bag to give milk with. Again, what a
terrible thing it would have been for
Martin and his family if the double.
header had proved to be cross. She
could have hooked with four horns. and
nothing on the place would have dared
to venture near her. Furthermore, as
there were two heads, and therefore two
brains, what would have been the result
if one brain resolved that its mouth
wanted hay. while the other brain SIM
ultaneously came to the conclusion that
feed at the straw-staek was about the
proper thing2 Suppose, too, that one
head had been mild and gentle and the
other aggressive and full of mischief.
Suppose that one head wanted to fight
every other COW that came around, while
the other head was cowardly. What a
condition of mortal terror the good head
would have been kept in by the bad
head. But there are hundred awful
contingencies that might have arisen had
the peculiar heifer lived. Perhaps it was
better for Martins peace Of mind that

A weary soul has gone to rest.
Free from sorrow, sin, distress;
In heaven, by the golden throne,
She'll no more weep, or sigh, or moan.
She's gone to join the angel band,
Beyond the river Jordan's strand,
Where the golden bells are ringing,
And the angel voices singing.
Orphan children left behind,
Weeping for mother kind,
Never more to hear her call,
Rave lost the dearest friend Of all.
She suffered patiently and long
This gentle soul that knew no wrong
While toiling onward to the cross;
To her the gain, to US the loss.
Her eyes grew bright with visions new,
As heavens portals met her view
She heard angelic voices rise,
Singing the songs Of Paradise. -GF. P. X
