A DEMOCRAT representative visited
Milton this week and found many I'M
provements being made in our lively
sister town. The new brick block is a
beauty, the two hotels are as busy as
beehives, all the stores have the appear
apce OF thrifty and business hustle,
lastly the Milton Globe in it's newly re-
nodded home is continually growing the
town an energetic shove that helps things
along wonderfully. Milton is alright.
On six, different occasions within the
past two years has the old time-worn
play of "Uncle Toms Cabin" been pro-
duced before Langdon audience and the
verdict of the public has generally been
in sympathy withUncle Tom rather than
in,praise OF the acting OF the comedy
burlesque given play. The tent show
Saturday night was no exception to the
rule. The company had fine band
Which helped out materially, however.
Langdon has been run by electricity
after dark since Saturday OF last week
and the manner in which the fine new
pdant OF the Electric Light Co. has done
the work is a source of pride to both its
mapager, Mr.. Paul Gardner, and the
uublic generally. Langdon has never
been lighted upas brightly as it is now
and the complacent smile with which
the visitors attention is directed to our
recent acquisition shows that the Lang
don boys are dead struck on 'em.

night at ii late hour from his long but
successful chase after James Boise, who

wHs received here Thursday OF Boise ar
rest at Balder, Man., another message
came from Sheriff McGauvran that hi
was on the trail of his man and woult
capture him before night. Some littl'
trouble was experienced by Sheriff Nc
Gauvran at Bladder, as Boise told tn
local authorities plausible story as tt
his right to possession OF the team and j
looked for some little time as if extradi
ton papers ould have to be gotten gu
before he could be induced to come along
Boise is now lodged in jail awaiting hi

waved examination when brought int,
Justice Dawson's court for prelimjnar,
