accompanied with much thunder and |
lightning, passed over this section yester-

extent by the current and there were more
fire balls about than were needed.
We called on our friend Perkins of the
Rutland Herald soon after the vote was
announced at State convention, Wednes-
day, and offered coincidence, but he was
sourer than high-license cider barre, and

political s'ring" is doing him so much harm
he get into it. It ought to be COM
fort to him to be on the winning side oc-
casiona1ly.

in the delegation from this county at least
a dozen ex-county senators rand about
thirty ex-representatives. What will be
the future with the rest of the delegates
remains to be seen.

The WahpetonSdn, the college journal.
The city papers complimented her very
highly on her class essay delivered at COM

Rand was genuinely surprised at seeing so
many of her friends. She was presented s
with complete set of Gee. Elliott's Works. \
