Delore they are all gone. ii. L..
Wineman.
Langdon Republican: If the
insane authorities should round up
the fit subjects for the insane
asylum that are roaming around in
Crary and Leeds, there would be
enough newspaper talent to run
several dailies in the asylum at
jamestown.
Darlington Independent: Gee
whiz-that man Brown, the real
estate man of Devils Lake, is a
hummer. Last week he took two
whole pages of the Devils Lake
Inter Ocean to advertise his bust
ness. He's all right, especially
from a newspaper mans point of
view.
The American Cineograph Ex-
hibition company gave views of
the Spanish-American war at the
opera house Tuesday evening.
The attendance was quite large
and the entertainment gave general
satisfaction. Frank de Judge,
formerly of Devils Lake, is the
manager of the company.
Casgrove's Merry Makers gave a
performance in Wineman's opera
house Monday night under the
auspices of the Devils Lake base
ball club. The receipts of the
evening were not quite large
enough to pay expenses-and the
club has gone out of the show
business.
Col. Creel went out to his farm
Monday to superintend the spring
work. He is of the opinion that
the acreage of wheat in Ramsey
county will be largely decreased
this year, owing to the inability of
the farmers to get much blowing
done last fall and to the backward
spring.
Chas. G. Connolly, treasurer of
the Woodlands picnic association
is devoting a large share of his
time to making the picnic at the
C%hautauqua a grand succes this
year. He has secured unusually
cheap excursion rates from the
Great Northern, and thinks the
attendance will run into the thou
sands.
Maj. f. A. Maglone received
this week a certificate of member
ship to the Red River Valley Old
Settlers association organized in
|. 1879. The Major came to Fargo
in 70 and has been in the state al
most continuously ever since. His
acquaintance throughout the state
is very large, and as an attorney
, and all-around good citizen he
stands at the head Of the list.
Brother McGahan shouldn't be
, so touchy. If Bro. Elmslie has
money to loan Small is glad of it
he would like to go into the loan
business himself with Bro. MEGA
han. The regulation of the salaries
of deputies comprise about all the
duties the county commissioners
have to perform, and the Inter-
Ocean hasn't any desire to take
;, up their burden and throw them
out of a job. Let's turn the whole
matter owe to Jimmy. Lord,
Luther, he's the boy that will
straighten out the kinks in these
knotty problems.
Plaindealer: G.. C. Clifford will
run the Chautauqua hotel at
Devils Lake this summer. That is
equivalent to saying that the
Chautauqua hotel will be run in
first class style. The most com
plete accommodations will be
made for travellers and summer
!, v~acationists, and everythingwill be
provided for their comfort. The
state Chautauqua headquarters
will be as popular and well patron
lied this summer as it usually is,
and the Chautauqua hotel is right
in line for visitors who are after a
good service.
Alert: Horace Hance, one of
: Fargo's old time real estate men,
was consulting with land agents
here yesterday about getting TO-
600 acres of wild land in one body.
He says: Since March LIST the
demand for North Dakota lands
seems to indicate a boom like old
times. One syndicate which bought
a large tract of southern Mime
sofa land. several years ago and
developed it partly, sold it out to
, small farmers and made a large
profit. They are looking for the
same chance in this state, but
