for this county. The machine
is certainly a wonder in the way
of washing clothes. 1t will wash

SHERIDAN in.
And the North Dakota Boys Will Els,
cort the Minnssotas.

A telefram from San Francisco says;
The transport Sheridan with the Thir-
teenth Minnesota and the South Da-
kOta volunteers on board, reached
here at 8 o'clock Thursday night. The
Minnesota soldiers will not receive an
official welcome, owing to the non-ar-
rival Of Governor Lind and party.
However, Gen. Reeve and a party of
wives, daughters and friends of the
Minnesota regiment have arranged to
go out to the Sheridan and give the
boys the best that a be arranged in
the way Of a welcome home. The
governor and his party will not reach
here before Saturday morning. The
North Dakota command has received
orders not to turn in its rifles, which
means that it will act as escort for
the two regiments which arrived last
night on the Sheridan. The North
Dakota boys are glad Of it, too. They
would rather escort Minnesota and
South Dakota than any other regi-
ments. They say that they want to
do everything possible to counteract
any wrong impression that may have
been formed because of letters written
home by North Dakota boys concern
ing the Minnesota soldiers. They say
it will be a shame if the Minnesota
men do not receive Il royal reception,
for they deserve it, and they feel
worse than some, of the Minnesota
people, too, because anything was
brought forward that would naturally
cast any discredit on the good name Of
the Minnesota regiment.

The citizens of Grafton are making
great preparations for the reception
to Co. G OIL their arrival home from
San francisco. Arrangements are
now completed for the erection of two
large arches adjacent to the depot. at
which the volunteers will arrive, and
the decoration of all the business
houses Of the city and for the most
part, all Of the residence portion as
we'll. After the march from the train
there will be a huge dinner for the
boys, followed by short but appro-
pirate exercises. A large silk flag
has been purchased and a tall Flagstaff
put up in front of Col. Treumann's
residence. all being paid for by the
friends and admirers of the colonel.
Grafton has raised over $4,000 toward
the fun for the return of the company,
and the farmers in the vicinity have
raised $1,000. Grand Forks has
raised another $1,000 for the same pur-
pose. w. G. Lestikow, who has al
ready given $50, is said to be willing
to make up the shortage on the $4,000
that must be raised. They have en-
gagged four brass bands for the occa-
sion Of the boys return and there will
be a "hot time in the old town to-
night"

THE MATEU PIANIST

-
There is mad and merry music in the wailing o.
Der the sea that shrieks and sobs from shore tc
shore.
There is wassail wild and weird in tho ava
There is rolling, rending ruin in it's roar.
There is twisting, twining terror in the cyclones
deafeningd din,
There is mad and mournful muttering in the gale
But OF all the fierce, fantastic furier nature
revels in,
None affects me like the girl that runs the scale
Do, m, me, fa,-do, ra, mo,
Hear her twitter on tho key,
Oh, melody distracting and divine!
For another hour or SO,
Oh how I wish the little lass was mine!
l would ito her little hands,
With gigantic, lcathern bands,
| would let these tense set nerves of mine relax,
The pianO-I would lash it,
To the floor, and l would crash it,
And I'd dash it and I'd smash it with the axe.
Now she's learned n little classic and she
pounds the pedals on,
As she fits the keyboard trippingly along,
Hear her bump and thump the bass notes and
the treble, pro and con,
As silp riddles the whole atmosphere with song.
Hear her rattle, roar and rumble like a wagon
Hear her rub It, hear her scrubit, till it groans.
Now think she's tamping, %tramping, stamp
ing on it with her feet.
So turbulent, terrific arc her tones:
Hear her hammcr! Sec her soar!
Hear the bass notes roll and roar!
Now she's struck Il bunch of musical bouquets.
Hear her thrilling the high keys,
Hear it whistle, Wheezc and snecZe,
She seems in agony: yet still she plays.
Oh, if [ could only buy her.
| would take hor, ! would tic her,
| would try her on the washbonrd, and her
famo,
Would mo made if she would work it,
And not shirk it, but would jerk it.
AS she does that old pianos reniedf. amc!

office, which are to be introduced in
the postoffices of the country, will be

GETTING INTO SHAPE.

\ dispatch from Frisco says of the
North Dakota boys: The cool elm
ate of the Presidio. coupled with the
absolute cessation of all work. Il good
diet and the fresh SEA breezes, is
working wonders among the returned
volunteers. They :are rapidly re-
covering from the little ailments that
afflicted them when they landed, and
their emaciation. due to long confine-
ment on board the transport and their
previous onerouS service in the Phil
ippines, is giving way under benefi-
cent treatment. Already they are be-
ginning to feel something Of the old
time vigor that was theirs before they
left the prairies of the tiickertiil
state, and they will return but little
worse for the year they have spent in
the Orient.
