The A. o. U. W. lodge of Langdon is
getting in shape for a big increase in
membership this winter. About the

Alderman Orion reports the disap-
pearance OF a number Of finely bird
chickens, which he had taken great
pride in raising the past summer. The
dispoiler of his chicken coop Came near
carrying off the whole works. It is
generally supposed that the thieves COM
posed the same gang that got away with
two sets of harness from Drayman
Evans barn short time ago.
Just at this time of the year it is
natural to expect that the county cor
respondence department Of the DEMO
Graf would be better covered than it has
been for several weeks back. We have
writer's of ability at nearly every post
office in Cavalier county amply able to
take care OF their locality and from now
on s.hope to hear from them regular
ly. Brace up boys, the DEMOCRATS
politics may not be yonr politics. but
should not hinder you from sending in
Uu0 LOWS.
A report was in circulation recently
that j. w. Watson, who collected for
the Singer Sewing Machine company,
had been waylaid near Osnabrock and
robbed of a considerable sum of money.
The money was certainly missing, but
nobody believed the robbery story.
Since Saturday evening Watson himself
has been missing, as we'll as the monye 3.
The compuny's general agent was in the
city on Saturday, but let Watson slip
through his fingers. The amount in.
yolved is more than two hundred dol.
lars. Cardplayine is said to account for
the deficit. A warrant is out for his
arrest and the chief Of police offers q
a reward for his cupture.-PHrk River
