GOT WHAT HE DESERVED.
S. W. Belanger Nicely Honored in Superior
at Close of Long Residence There.

dl CtOSe OF Long heSiOenCe mere,
Severe Belanger, son of Mrs. Mary
Belanger, came home from Superior
Tuesday afternoon where he has been
located for ten years as clerk in the
drug store of B. d. Merrell. Severe
will visit here about three weeks and
will then go to- Billings, Montana, tC
| open a drug store on his own account
as was mention ed in last weeks issue.
The people of Superior evidently know
how to treat their friends and favorites
right; that Mr.. Belanger was d
favorite in the aforesaid community is
certainly proven by the following
paragraphs taken from the Superior
Leader:
One of the most pleasant affairs tC
take place thus far this season Oc-
Cured at the Euclid hotel last
evening.
The event was a farewell banquet
given in honor of Severe Belanger, who
will lease about the first of the month
for Billings, Montana, to engage in
the drug business. Mr.. Belanger has
brother in that city practicing medi
cine.
Mr.. Belanger has been a resident OF
this city for some time and has made
host of friends, in fact, it would be
difficult to find a young man in the
| city that is any more popular.
1t was merry party OF about sew
enty-five of his friends that last night
gathered around the beautifully deco
rated tables to bid Severe God speed
| and success in business in his new
| home.
OF course the menu was one of the
principal things of the evening but
that was not all. There were many
speeches and tOaStS in which any
amount of good things were said. e
J. McManuS acted as tOaStmaSter OF
| the evening. Among those that made
happy speeches appropriate for the
occasion were: AttOrneyC. H.CrOWn-
hart: DR.. E. T. .Gauvereau and AttOr.
ney w. r. Foley. Probably tho speech
of the last named gentleman was one
of the most important of the evening
for in it as we'll as the others was
shown the friendship of those gathered
around the feStal board. Mr.. Foley
made few happy remarks, and then
in behalf of the company present, and
others, presented Mr.. Belanger with q
| beautiful solitaire diamond ring. Mr.
Belanger made few graceful remarks
in reply, but his feelings and actions
seemed to show his appreciation better
than words.
The banquet wound up at a late
hour with that familiar and ever pop
ular song, ''Should Auld Acquaintance
| be Forgot" and chorus of good
wishes for ''Our Friend Severe"

Important Information For Farmers

Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment
Station, Madison, Dec, s, 1899. Infor
nation comes to the experiment
station that agents are inducing Wis
consin farmers to invest in patented
devices for raising cream on milk by
the addition of water to the fresh milk.
This system of cream raising is not
new and cannot be patented, though
particular devices may be; it has been
tested over and over again by expert
ment stations and found valueless.
Every farmer who puts money into
this business will lose his investment.
Our warning is to have nothing to do
with agents selling devices for raising
cream by the addition of water to
fresh milk. In adjoining states agents
have already taken tens of thousands
of dollars from the farmers, and they
are just beginning to work the state of
Wisconsin.

Very Good Irish.

The Irish supper served by the ladies
of the Catholic church last Thursday
evening was a great big treat in every
respect and all those who sat at the
tables acted, as David Harum would
say, ''tickleder than little dog with
a nosegay tied to his tail" The
receipts of the supper were 5000 and
the least that can be said iS-the
money was fully earned. We await
the next meal with a growing appetite,
for we are told that the ladies will give
a series just like this one, only not
always Irish.

NEW RAIL LINE.
Railroad Extensions Projected
for This Year.

JAMESTOWN, Feb. ar.-The com.
pany which has in its hands the sale
Of the greater PORTION Of the lands in
North Dakota is inserting in its con-
tracts statement that railroad
not saying what would be built
northwest from Cooperstown within
two years. 1t is said that the new
line will run into the neighborhood
OF Lake Washington in Eddy county
1t vii; open up great farming coun.
try. There is still some government,
land left in that vicinity. Another
report is that the Cooperstown branch
may be extended to point called
Ottoty in Nelson county. This IS to
head off the Great Northern branch
at Aneta. The probabilities are that
extension will be made before the
next wheat crop is moved.
At present the Northern Pacific
gets most of the grain raised north
and northwest of Cooperstown, but
to hold that business it will have to
extend the line. Land agents and
buyers have appeared within few
days in that portion OF the state. and
it looks as if active preparations fern
big land movement and for the ex;
pected increase of population were
actually under way. The reports Of
the extension west Of Sykeston this
year are renewed, and there is not
much doubt but that the Northern
Pacific will do considerable work in
that part of the state.
1t is also stated that the 500 will
build feeder north from Courtenay
or Wimbledon through Griggs,
Foster and Eddy counties. This ex-
tension may 60 as far northwest as
the jamestown & Northern line in
Benson county, and crossing it, tap
the country tributary to the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern line.

GREENvlEW.

The Bolkan school on Wednesday
evening, Washington's birthday, was
tittingly remembered. The room was
hastily decorated with flags, mottos,
pictures, etc. Busy little fingers had
made many colored streamers into
magic links binding their hearts with
that of the Father of his country. The
pupils were mostly of intermediate
grades and of foreign born parent
age, but their flag-drill and flag salute
in which they gave their heads and
their hearts to G cd and their country,
showed plainly that they are loyal
and true Americans, proud of their
country and It's flag. We cannot
doubt but that the parents also by
giving their aid and encouragement to
this celebration, have transferred
their own strong love of native land
to this, the land of their adoption.
Mr.. Jones has returned from Wis
consin with a car of horses and cattle,
including some Jersey heifers.

Mustered Out.

The Courier has to chronicle this
week the death Of one Of our most
highly respected and pioneer citizens,
William A. Kingsley, which occurred
at the Kingsley home west Of town
last Thursday evening. The de-
ceased was only real sick about one
week prior to his death, and even
then and also on the day that he
died he was able 10 get up and sit in
his chair. He had been feeling un.
we'll for num;:er of weeks and his
many friends noticed that his health
was failing. His death was the re.
suit Of a complication OF diseases.
The evening he died he was conscious
of everything going on, and five
minutes before he passed away he
told his wife to place the hot soap
stones at his feet, she did so and
turned to leave the room when she
heard him make peculiar noise and
going back to his bedside she found
that the old soldier and patriot had
answered his last roll call and had
beea mustered out to join the vast
army Of his comrades who had gone
to the great beyond.
William A. Kingsley was born at
Lebanon, N. Y, April IL, 1888, and
would have been Sc years old next
April. He was a union soldier and
took up arms for the preservation of
the union on Sept. IS, 1862, enlisting
in the First New York Artillery.
After serving FIVE months and
thirteen days he was honorable dis
charged on account Of injury. He
was mustered into the G. A. R. on
July 25th, 1887. The deceased with
his family moved from Michigan to
Griggs county in 1883, where he
opened up his farm and has resided
up to his demise. Heleaves widow
and four children. The children are
Mrs. Helen M. Sanford, Of Valley
City; Mrs. ]. E. Sutton and Mrs. J..
w. Whsle, both residents OF Griggs
county, and his only son, Frank.
The funeral was held last Saturday,
Rev. B. a. Burns officiating, who
preached a very appropriate sermon.
The pail bearers-named by the de-
ceased before he died-were six old
veterans, as follows: Augustus Has
kell, Geo. N. Stork, David Ward, C.
H. Johnson, Oscar D. Purinton and
B. B. Brown. These old comrades
performed the last sad rites for the
departed veteran whose remains were
laid to rest in the cooperstown
cemetery. In the death of William
A. Kingsley Griggs county loses one
OF its pioneer farmers and best
citizens. A kind and indulgent hus.
band and father, splendid neighbol
and citizen-a man who will be
general missed and mourned. The
bereaved family have the heartfelt
sympathy of their many friends.

COUNCIL IN A PRETTY STEW.
Atlanta officials in Deep Doubt on
Sunday Ordinance.

Atlanta, June 5.-The city council this
afternoon worried itself up into a mess
over the fight to close all shops and
stands on Sunday.
Some weeks ago under an old law cases
were made against tobacconists, fruit
dealers and the like for selling on Sunday.
This resulted in the adoption of a new
ordinance of a more liberal character, per-
hitting these places to be kept open on
the Sabbath.
There was a great feeling on the sub
ject as was shown by the fact that the
Evangelical Ministers Association only
succeeded in sending a committee before
council this afternoon to protest after
lively division in that body, some of the
ministers claiming that it was none of
their business. This committee did not,
however, get a chance to talk at the
councImen this afternoon, and what they
did not say, probably spoiled another inter-
esting chapter in the row between the
liberals and the extremists.
When the matter came up to reconsider
the liberal ordinance, the motion was
knocked out summarlly on technicality.
The alderman who MADE the motion had
not voted for the ordinance.
This riled the other side and they de-
clared that the ordinance was dead any
how as it had not been signed by the
mayor in the time allowed, the with
holding of his signature under the Illegal
motion to reconsider causing its death.
AS it now stands both sides claim sue
cess, and it looks as if the city will have
to get a Philadelphia lawyer to straighten
things out.
There was another troublesome time be-
fore the city fathers. The board of
health had recommended that all the old
wells in town be filled up TO prevent the
spread of fevers and other diseases. There
was a storm of protest by the well own
ers and they beselged the councilmen
with the result that the board of health
had its recommendation tabled.

money at contracting"

daughter who are now in Wisconsin, after
which he expects TO return to Cuba. He
believes with the knowledge of the coun-
try which he gained during nearly four
years of war that there are opportunities
there which he is in position 10 take ad-
vantage of.
