had to be in his own church at Devils

Bishop Edsall in Willlston.

Bishop Edsall of Fargo, accompanied
by Rev. G. Turner of Devils Lake, visit
ed Wilis.on last Thursday and held
Episcopal services in the Congregational
Church on Friday morning and in the
evening. Communion was administered
in the morning, and in the evening the
services consisted Of the ordinary rou-
tine according to the custom of the
Episcopal Church, and most impress
sive and eloquent sermon by the Bishop,
A very large and intelligent audience
attended the evening deyotions, and 1t
is generally admitted on all sides by
and most impressive religions service
ever held in Wiliiston, while the sermon
by Bishop Edsal was the most eloquent
ever delivered before a western audi
ence. What made the service still
more impressible was the fact that it
was St. Michaelmas Day, or All Saints
Day. This was the first Episcopal SER
vice eyer held in Williston, and We are
glad to say the ceremonies made favor
able impression upon the people, and
developed the fact that Williston is
blessed with quite number Of con-
frmed members of that denomination.
Mrs. VIM Lourhland of Nesson. who.
by the way, is an experienced organist
in the Episcopal Church service, pre-
sided at the organ on this occasion, and
the singing WAS rendered by the i'm
promptu choir formed OF Mesdames
Van Dyke, Wittmrier and Mills and
Messrs. Louyhland and Waldron. aided
by the magnificent voice of the Bishop
himself. We believe arrangements will
be made now to haye occasional services
of this church held in Wiliston, with
the end in view ultimately to build All
ediire here for that denomination. The
Bishop and Rev. Turner expressed
themselves well pleased with their re.
ception, and gave us the assurance that
they would visit the city again next
spring.

The Man Who isn't Principal.

N. I. Teigen, the man whom the old
board Of education Of this town under
took to hire as principal of the Williston
schools made his appearance in this city
last Friday night. He called upon the
clerk of the board and notified him thnt
he Was here to fulfill his part of his con-
tract rs principal but the clerk inform
cd him that the schools were supplied
with teachers and that his services were
not needed. In fact, Mr.. Teisen had
been notified by registered letter early
in August that his contract had been
rescinded and that he was not wanted.
This was all the clerk Of the board Of
education could do, and it would have
been sufficient for sny man of good
judgement and common sense; but it
seems that this man Teigen didn't
possess either, therefore lie squandered
his money and his time to come out
here and endeayor to force himself up
on the public whether he was wanted
or not. lie had the termerity to 90 to
the schoolhouse early Monday morning,
and notify Mr.. Brownson that his SER
vices could be dispensed with, as he
CTeigen) WAS principal III that room.
But Prof. Brownson didn't see it in that
light, and politely informed the intruder
that if he interferred with his business
that. he would get out of the room Oh
the double quick. But Brownson very
quietly sent for Sheriff Costello. who
went to the school house along with Mr..
Bergh, president of the board, and one
or two others. Mr.. Berg' gave the tall
and stately ediot to distinctly under
stand that unless he left the premises
and desisted from all attempts to meddle
with the conduct Of the school he would
be placed under arrest. This rather
cooled the cheerful idiots ardor, and TO
make q long story short, lie walked out
Of the school.
| In one view Of the matter, Teigen is
not so much to blame, as he has been
nagged on to do rs he did by Bill Free
man and +. a. Sharp, the holdoyer
members Of the old board, aud two or
three outside nonentities. who can only
make their presence felt in community
by the trouble they breed. Yet, in an
other view Of the subject, Mr. Teigen is
to blame by showing what u fool he is
TO he urged into such an Improbable
and useless contest. Teigen threatens
to take the matter into the courts. and
it would tickle his backers here nearly
to death If he did-but Teigen needn't
look tor any financial aid from those
fellows, for while they carry bagful Of
wind, they have padocks on their
pocket-books. From the former they
will give freely, bu. nary cent will
they yield up from the latter.
| Teiyen left on the east bound train
, Monday evening, and in SO doing he
| demonstrated that his brnins Law i'm his
heels, for they exhibited all the good
sense shown here by walking hlm out
of town.
And Prof. Brownson is still principal
Of the Williston schools, placed there
by prac ical!y the unanimous vote of the
people.
