EN- ROUTE FOR BLUEBERRIES
Viking to Holmes.
By Bob B.

HElBERG, MIMI, July 25. 1899.
Readers OF the SHEAF: Would it
be interesting for those of you who
have not Travelled the way along the
Northern Pacific from Crookston to-
wards Winnipeg Junction by day
light, to learn something about that
part OF our state so near our homes?
After mounting and remounting
our "silent steed" at least a half
hundred times from yesterday morn
ing until night, we succeeded to
make Holmes, a signal station Is
miles from Crookston by dark.
Town OF Viking was left about 8
O'Clock yesterday. Few notable
events transpired between there and
Crookston. One of these few was
that chance in the shape of a wind
mill, enticed a thirsty cyclist to the
Agricultural Experiment Station,
north Of Crookston, where he had a
few minutes talk with Mr.. Hover
stad. Farmers who live around
Warren can go there by travelling,
as near as we can figure, % and one
sixth miles from Warren.
The first station on this line, Z
miles beyond Crookston, is a signal
station called Marin. 1t consists of
nothing but a grain elevator, sta
tion-house and section-house COM
bined, and-let us think minute,
for we took no notes-yes, a railroad
switch was another structure there.
Inquiring at Marin for next sta
ton and whether we could reach
that by train time, we learned that
it was Holmes. We made for this
station as fast as weary limbs and
''jolty" roads would permit. On the
way between the stations, however,
a halt was made for lunch at a farm
house, and, as a young lady there
thought there was 'plenty Of time
before the train was due at Holmes,
rest OF three minutes was had after
the lunch. This made us just miss
the train-but we didn't miss it
much, for what CAN be more pleasant
than to see a new country in broad
daylight.
The roads are yet in bad condition
for easy riding as far as this last
mentioned place (Holmes). Before
reaching Crookston, coulies were
quite numerous and close to Holmes
while chasing the passenger, one o
the pedals struck a rock. Such in
cidents, tri1ing though they may
seem to be, will nevertheless serve te
delay for the time the singing Of:
5t II love thy rocks and rills."
Crops seem to be both good anC
poor along the way.
The surface OF the land is leve
prairie, excepting through Crooks
ton, until within one mile OF Holmes
where a steep hill is met.
The climate is almost the same al
in and around Warren.
The next section described, if &C
cepted, will be Holmes to Ulen.

"The Moth and the Flame. !"

Herbert Kelley and Fife Shannon will ap-
pear in Clyde Fitch's charming play The
Moth and the Flame" at Ford's Grand Opera
House, Baltimore, week of February 6.
Its serious side is relieved by pointed com
edy and wit. From first to last the interest
is held by series of stage pictures OF rare
excellence and lines delivered in the develop
ment of the plot which stamp the author as
one of the foremost of playwrights.
The play had long and successful run in
New York for nearly an entire season.
Mr.. Kelley contributes a finished bit of
acting in most exacting role.
Miss Efie Shannon is as clever as she is a
beautiful woman-which is saying great
deal.
The play is magnificently staged end COS
tuned, the characters are portrayed by a
company of extraordinary strength.
Matinees Wednesday and Saturday. Ad-
mission 25 and so cents.

success Of the season, The Evil Eye" Over

AGAINST DANCING.
Rev Charles A. Hill Makes a Social
Stir In SMYRNA.

whether member of the NJ E. Church
could consistently dance' was the topic dis
cussed by he Rev. @. Hill in SMYRNA.
Del, the other Sunday, and his remarks
have set the social element there somewhat
astr. The Rev. Mr.. Hill was pronounced in
his denunciation of dancing and quoted from
the decision Of the late Chancellor Willard
Salisbury in his decision granting an in
junction against the proprietor of the Bright
House at Rehoboth, restraining him from
having dancing at his hotel. as prayed for by
the Eehoboth Campmeeting Association.
The Rev. Mr.. Hill paid high compliment to
the ability of the late iurst and said that he.
although not member of the NJ. T.. Church,
fully sustained the contention made
by that denomination in the question of dane
ing The Rev. Mr.. Hill then quoted from
prominent Episcopal bishops and Catholic
priests who had pointed out in severe terms.
the evils arising from this social pleasure.
He concluded his remarks by advising the
mothers to read Byron's poem on the waltz.
The Rev. Mr. Hills remarks are the talk Of
the town this week. The church people gen
orally support the preacher, while the
younger element are indigant. The above
remarks were occasioned by dance given
at the conclusion of reception at the
Twentieth Century Club few weeks ago. and
a dance given at the same place last week.
The club las amoug its menbcrs the prom
inent ladies of the N. +. Church and they
seriously object to the club room being used
Tor a dance. Some of the members of the
club say they will resign if dances are held.
While the other side is Just as determined. It
Is thought chat cooler judgment will prevail
and everything arranged satisfactory to all
parties concerned.
