There you see the rising and setting sun;
you become acquainted with the stars

by autumn-the grace and poetry Of
death. Every field is picture,-a land
scape; every landscape poem; every
flower tender thought, and every forest
a fairy land. In the country you pre-

There you are an aggregation Of atoms;
but in the city you are only an atom OF

You are calmed and ennobled by the

from newspapers on the line of the

To the Editor Of the Record.
DEAR S1R:-Yours Of the 10th inst,
received this morning. ! will try to
comply with your request to keep the
Record readers posted as to our move
ments
To begin with. there are four Emmons
county boys in Co. "a" namely: Mark
Yeatcr, John Dcrkin, Dan Boutillier and
myself. Herman Stermer (who, as you
will remember, worked for l. Fl. Robin

mons county boys. But, if run on to
any more, l will jot down their names.
I will give you our daily program,
which is the same every day unless it
rains. (By the way, that it is doing now.1
At 8 o'clock in the morning comes
reveille, which you will understand mean,
"Get up P. d. O." under penalty of
extra guard duty. Roll call as soon as
all are in line. Then gymnastics for
about thirty minutes; then breakfast.
After breakfast comes police duty, which
is cleaning up the company street and
around the tents. At 1890 comes guard
mount, when the new guards go on and
the old ones come of. Each man is on
for "a hours-two hours. on duty and
four of-so it isn't go bad. From 1880
to l1:80 those who are not on guard go
out for company drill. Dinner at I'm.
At l:30 p. M, non-commissioned officers
school Is called From $50 until 4:3O we
are out on battalion drill From $50 TO
dress parade takes place. Then comes
supper, which is the last task" of the
day.
The boys are very uneasy at times, as
only about one.haf Of the troops have
the necessary clothing and equipment.
Every day different reports come as to
where we are going, but every day finds
US still here. The latest We hear is 70
the effect that we will have to stay here
until we raise another battalion, az ne
have only two,- and iare not entitled
to colonel or regimenta1 band. THIS
Lisbon band is the First Regiment band;
and they were sent home last Sunday.

hesitation in predicting that the future
progress will be rapid.
Our people are to be congratulated that
the years of Inconvenience and added
expense caused by lack of railroad facili-
ties are soon to come to an end. And
those true and tried old-timers who have
stuck to the country through thick and
thin will meet their due reward for the
faith that has abided with then.
At the threshold of the Records ff.
teenth year, its editor wishes to extend
thanks to the people of this county, who
have SO steadfastly sustained the psper
from the day it was founded. and we
promise that, as the country will be bet
tered by the coming Of the railroad. we
shall strive to keep pace in our columns
with such betterment

An exchange has the following "sprine
pocm": Father, dear father, come home
with me now. for ma has some carpets to
beat; she has got all the furniture out in
the yard, from the front door clear into
the street. The stove must come down
and be put in the shed. and the yard
must be cleared of some grass. for it's
time to clean house and to kick up
dust, and the front windows need some
new glass. Father, dear father, come
home with me now, for ma is as mad as
a Turk; she says that you are only lazy
old thing, and that she will soon put you
to work. There is painting to do. and
paper to hang, and the windows and cas-
ings to scrub, for it's house-cleaning time
and you've got to come home and reve,
in suds and cold grub.

believed that George Winship was to
have the walk-away that he has claimed
in Grand Forks county. We did not
think it was possible that the people of
Grand Forks had forgotten or forgiven
Winship's attitude toward William
Bulge, two years ago. Those who at
tended the republican state convention in
1895 found the city of Grand Forks prac-
tically unit in support of Bulge for
governor. Winship was about the only
local person of any prominence who
opposed the choice of the republicans of
his city and county. The local enthusiasm
for Bulge was most remarkable, and
even the outside delegates opposed to
him admitted that they had never before
seen anything in the shape of a home
enlargement for state Office that ap-
preached it'in intensity. The people of
the city could not conceal their sadness
and disappointment when ''Honest
Billy" as they called him, was defeated.
Then, as now, Winship denounced as
"The Gang" those with whom he
differed. At the same time the brazen
effrontery and phenominal gall of the
traitor to Grand Forks was manifested by
his openly training with such well-known
railroad agents as Aleck Hughes. We
did not believe that the people of Grand
Forks would soon forgive Winship for
betraying them, and it seems that they
have not. 1t looks as though that gen
tlemen would soon know what it is TO be
''host with his own petard." 1t is Win
ships OK that is gored this time; and
George doesn't like it bit, as will be
SEGA aty the annexed blubbering exhi.
bition of grief because the true blue
republicans of Grand Forks have seen q,
to make an effort to unite on some repre-.
sentative man whom they will propose
for place on the state ticket: The
Herald, Mr.. Winship's paper, says:
It will doubtless be news to many
readers of the Herald to know that the
political element in Grand Forks which
is uncompromisingly opposed to Mr..
Winship has at last founda q man who
has consented to lead their cause to vic.
tory or defeat in the primaries ard con.
vention to be held in this county some
time in June. This man is L. K. Hassell,
who has filled the eff1ce of clerk of co uri
for the past ten years. A quiet meeting
Of Winsbip-haters was held Tuesday
night, and Mr.. Hassell was formally an
nounced as their candidate for state
treasurer, aud he was given assurance
that the Grand Forks combine would
land him safely when the clans gather
for final action at the state convention
OF course the people of Grand Forks
county understand that the city combina
ton has no special interest in Mr.. Has
sell; all they care about is to edo up
Winship. and Mr.. Hassell has freely
offered himself for that particular pur
pose: The fact that he is one of the
Immortal 900" who signed reques,
that Mr.. Winship be a candidate fol
governor, pledging himself to ''use all
honorable means" to secure Winship's
nomination at the coming state conven
ton, seems to cut no figure with Mr.
Hassell. 1t was mere incident, MOI
worthy of consideration after the ac
was performed.
