The Fargo & Northwestern
Railroad Company.

We are to have q railroad-an out
let by rail, through the city of Fargo.
A new railroad company has been
organized for that special purpose,
and a railroad into Sherbrooke can
hardly be looked upon any longer as
an uncertainty, for we are as surely
going to have one in here within the
next six months as can be. Articles
of incorporation forming the new COM
pany we're filed with the secretary Of
state over a week ago. &
The officers of the new company are:
President, Martin Hector: Vice-Pres.,
j. w. Smith; Treasurer, J. W. Von-
Media; Sec'y and Cent Manager, z.
S. Tyler. ii Oh.
Board of Directors: II. F. Miller,
r. S. Lewis, Alex Stern, VIM. D.
Stewart, G. S. Barnes. o. J. de Lem
drice, Martin Hector, j. w. Smith,
J. W. VonNieda, Thos. Baker, Jr.,
J..B. Folsom, James Holes, E. s.
Tyler.
These are the substantial business
men Of Fargo. The capital OF the
company is $500, 600.
Active work will begin just as soon
as seeding is out of the way and the
farmers along the route are ready to
do grading. AS soon as the country
dries up enough SO that one can travel
overland, a committee will drive over
the whole length Of the route and dee
eide upon a line of survey. There is
not the least particle of doubt but that
every foot OF the right-of way will be
had free of cost and we would. ask
every farmer along the proposed line
to make preparations to assist in, any
way possible for this will be great
thing for every one who lives within
distance of the line, and
a great thing for the country at large.
Prepare to help work after you get
your spring crop in.-sherbrool1e

The Rambler.

The Rambler.
Since we made our bow to the pub
lie last week we have had occasion to
notice many little matters that need
Strengthening out in and around this
growing burg. One of the principal
kicks that we have coming is the de-
lsire of some people to keep the public
sidewalks blockaded with goods and
merchandise. OF course IBIS quite a
nice sensation for the pedestrian to
stumble over divers aIticles in the
dark that Blockade the sidewalk. We
say that it is pleasant at least. OF
course the people havesno business on
the sidewalk. They are supposed to
keep the middle OF the road and look
pheasant. Our sidewalks are simply
constructed for storage ground, for
machinery and merchandise.
*x*
Last week our county judgemade q
good, healthy kick because the school
flag was not flying from the pole as
required by law. The kick was all
right in one respect but sadly amiss
in another. 1t was not the fault of
the teacher that the flag was not hoist
ed but rather the fault of the school
board: The flag is there but there has
been no rope nor pulley for some lime
and it is not the teachers business to
provide these articles nor chase after
the board all through his term Of
Office. We think that the present law
requiring school flags to be foated
every school day is sadly out of place
in this country. We are in favor of
hoisting the flag on every holiday and
special occasions and think that ought
to fill tine bill. If the school flags had
been hoisted last week there would be
nothing left of them by this time but
shreds: The wind blows too much up
in this latitude.
NV
There is another matter we wish to
call the attention of our city dads to
and that is the matter Of putting in
one or two. alley crossings. At this
writing a large amount of sidewalk is
practically useless because it is alb.
solutely impossible to get across the
alley way. We think If some enter
prising citizen would establish q ferry
line at some Of the alley ways they
could do thriving business.

The base ball cranks are talking Of
buying a block of lots and making {
ball park out of it. It is intended tt
build a ten foot high fence all arount
the block. At the present price o.
Cooperstown lots it would requir.
about S24, 900 for the block-which il
a very modest sum-for this town.
/ We notice that some of our county
officers and some people who want tc
be county officers have been sharpen
ing up their jack knives and little
hatchets. AS the time for the different
county conventions draws nigh it is
i presumed that the different candidates
will wear top boots which will be
amply loaded with sharp knives, etc.
for general use.

Mike School.

School closed last Friday at the
Bills school-house, Of which Miss
Kate Bills was the teacher. In honor
of the event there was basket dinner
on the ground, furnished by the
parents of the school. The pro-
gram for the days exercises was
tastefully arranged and nicely executed
to the delight of all present, for which
both teacher and pupils deserve
praise.
Among the interesting features of
the occasion was nice treat to the
scholars, including oranges and can
dies, which, of course, afforded much
enjoyment to the little folks.
Several cards were given as rewards
of merit to those deserving that rec
ognition. Misses Ethel Redding and
- Barnes deserve honorable MEN,
ton for the nice music furnished by
them for the occasion.
Miss Bills, we are glad to say, is
quite popular as teacher.

The AIy,stery, Solved.

There were over 1000 votes polled
at the late Democratic primary cleo
ticn in Charlton county, the largest
ever known. We were unable TO ac-
count foT it until We read last weeks
issue of the Columbia Herald. which
says that when Weller Long, the
Populist evangelist Of North Missouri,
made speeches in Boone county this
spring he made pathetic aP-
peals to Democrats to stay away from
the polls. As 4 result there was 4
larger turnout OF voters at the late
Democratic primary than were ever
counted on former occasions
Then We remembered that J. Wei
Ter Long had visited our county, just
previous to our primary, and made
speeches at many Of our schoolhouses,
none Of which We heard, but suppose
he gave our Democrats the same ad-
vice and that accounts for our eNtraor-
dinary vote at tie primary. Now If
7. Weller will come around again just
before the election in November and
give the same advice we will doubt
less score great victory.

North Missouri Institute Commences
ue0f.

We are glad to note the successful
and entertaining commencement ex-
ercises of the North Missouri institute
at Salisbury which began last Sunday
with sermon by Rev. J. C. ARM
strong, ID. D., of St. Louis, before u
large and appreciative audience.
The theme selected, Take Heed
to Yourselves" was certainly a very
appropriate one. If the doctrinaI
teaching of the text, as shown by the
preacher, is needed by those who
were so fortunate as to hear it, they
Twill be helped by tx into a higher. ands
better life. On Monday evening there
was contest among the members of.
the class in elocution taught by Miss
Fannie Bell. The contest in recitation
and defamation was participated in
by seven young ladies and five young
gentlemen. all of whom did WELL
The awarding committee consisted of
Hon. A. II. Waller, Moberly; o. S.
Gray. Sturgeon; ]. T. Morris, Carroll
ton; Ed T. Miller, Keytesvllle, and
Rev. r. l.. Stratton, Sumner. Mr..
Waller did not serve, having been
called away by telegram. The other
members reached decision which was
not announced until Thursday evening.
The graduating exercises on Tues
day evening drew crowded house.
There were 3 graduates, five of whom
had completed the English and seven
the shorthand and business course
and one the musical course.
The literary address of Hon. w.
A. Rothwell was so practical and life
like, reciting many of the incidents of
student and college life, that it at
tracted close attention and received
praise which it justly merited.
Thursday evening witnessed the
closing exercises during which Prof.
Briggs took occasion to state the
term just closed, with its T. graduates,
was the most prosperous in the history
of the school and that the future out
look was never more encouraging.
The several young ladies and one
young gentleman who assisted in the
musical entertainment showed skillful
training by Mrs. Briggs, the directress.
The names of the parties who won
medals at a previous evenings con-
test were made known Thursday even-
ing and the presentations thereof
made by Messrs. A. w. Johnson, Rev.

The Best
Recommendation

that can be given Blanke's
Coffee is to say that those
who buy it once keep on
buying. Advertising will
sell almost anything for n
time, but after people have
been fooled n time or two on
some article, all the advertis-
ing in the world will not in
duce them TO buy that article
again.
There are other pretty good
coffees besides Blanke's. If
you are satisfied with them,
1 advise you to stick to them.
But the minute you are dis
satisfied 1 advise you to try
Blanke's. The price is 33 1-3
cents a pound. 1t costs me
nearly that much. 1 don't
make much on one pound,
but 1 do sell n good many
pounds.
