SHEYENNE.
To the Editor of The Times:

10 the Editor of The Times:
Herman Erickson entertain
ed the young people with a
dance at his home on the 18th.
Tolef Hanson of Sheyenne
and Andrew Erickson of Vikey
are at Wahpeton doing jury
work.
Rumors are out again to the
effect that we will get a rail-
road from Wyndmere going to
Fargo.
Mr.. Lars Bratwald of Ashby,
Mimi, has been visiting with
7. y. Hagen and family during
the commencement of the new
year.
This time we will give hur-
rah for The Wahpeton Times
and our three Democratic COM
missioners who have made it
again an official paper of the
county. -.
Thursday Jan. 18th Albert G.
Brunsvold closed a very sue
cessful four months term of
school in school No. 3, all the
school officers were present and
a large crowd of visitors. This
time the school closed with
reading, writing, mathematics
on the blackboard, geography,
civil government, ETC., in re-
view of all they had studied
during the term, instead of
dialogues, declamations, etc.
And we may say we never were
more pleased at the closing of
a school, because we could
see and hear how the children
had been employed during the
term, which was more than
satisfactory and better than
our expectations. AS teacher
Mr.. Albert G.. Brunsvold has
proved to be probably the best
in Richland county, and being
graduate from one of the
best schools at Beloit, Wis.
He has education enough to
fill any place in graded
school. Mr.. Brunsvold will
commence school again for a
term of four months in No. 2
near E. Olson's on the Goth.

A Brilliant Retaliation

The Lidgerwood Broadax
publishes an article calling at
tention to the fact that the
commissioners the other day
took no notice of the Globes
bid to do county printing at
low rates-a mere bluff for talk
ing..purposes, in counter action
of what The Times did a year
or two ago.
Now if there is anything to
be admired about the average
Republican it is the persistency
with which he demonstrates
the fact that he is out for the
"long green" and succeeds in
getting it. In times past when
the board used to be Demo-
cratic The Times Jared very
much as the other papers. No
particular preference was ever
given it. If it published a tax
list such divisions were de-
manded that the publicatio n
was of little benefit to this
paper, and Democrats demand
ed this for the sake of peace
and harmony. At the time
The Times put in the low bid
for printing the Globe had a

A BRILLIANT RECEPTION
rendered Rev. and Mrs. Barnes

That was a happy reception
to Rev. and Mrs. Barnes at the
home of Judge and Mrs. Wake
field Friday evening of last
week. Everybody was there,
informally, during the evening,
shook hands with a cordial
word of greeting to the honored
guests, partook of refreshments
and passed a pleasant evening
in the spacious parlors- of their
esteemed host and hostess. In
the course of the evening
Judge Wakefield presented Mr..
Barnes with handsome easy
chair in a neat address,as COM
ing from the recipients, many
admiring friends. This was
followed by Mrs. Judge Lauder
in the presentation to Mrs.
Barnes of a handsome chair
and various articles of silver
ware. Mrs. Barnes responded
feelingly, thanking their good
friends for the tokens of good
will. Mr.. Barnes followed and
after talking a few moments,
illustrated his position by tell
ing story about Pat O'York,
who having sustained a severe
fall and being picked up with
a query as to whether he was
killed, replied that he wasn't
killed but couldn't sphake.
However, the reverend gentle
man managed to show his
house full of friends that his
heart was in the right place
and that he would always re-
member Wahpeton with the
greatest possible esteem.

A MONUMENT
To be Erected to the Memory of
George Schneider.

Company 1 Monument AS
sociation will give dance in
Schuler hall, Feb. 5th, the an
niversary of the outbreak of
the Philippine rebellion, for the
purpose of raising funds for a
monument in memory of Geo.
Schneider. This is a most
worthy cause and every man
ought to put in dollar. AS
the Gazette said last week, any
man giving up his life for old
glory in the far away islands,
deserves a monument so feet
high. We don't pretend to say
how high the monument to
commemorate the late esteem
ed young Wahpeton volunteer
ought to be, but it ought to be
as good as money will buy. 1t
will be a privilege any man
will esteem to give dollar to
this enterprise, and if the boys
tire of giving entertainments
for the monument, then let the
county commissioners go into
the county treasury and put up
whatever is necessary. We
would not waste a cent but the
people of this com munity
should not rest content till an
everlasting monument is erect
ed to the memory of this de-
serving Wahpeton boy. And
they won't.

TO BUILD MAMMOTH SHIPS.
Great Northern Railroad to Have
the Largest Vessels on Earth,

ST.. PAUL. Jan. 1S.-President
Hill of the Great Northern
railroad, gave out brief des-
cription of his mammoth ships,
which he is now having built
for service in the Oriental trade
in connection with his railroad.
Two of the ships will be COM
pleted and ready for service
within eighteen months. Each
vessel will be 730 feet long by
a feet beam; so feet from the
water to the top of the smoke
stack. The carrying capacity
of each vessel will be $4,000
tons. Fourteen hundred cars
of freight will be required to
fill each vessel.
These ships will be the lar
gest vessels in the world.
These two steamers will be fol-
lowed by two others within Il
year, and will be able to carry
freight so slow as to realize
big profits and shut out con,pe-
tition. They will cost $4,000, 600
each, and will also be fitted up
for passenger service in the
most palatial style. These
steamers will be built on the
Clyde and will have a speed of
fourteen knots an hour.

talking of the plan of dredging g

Minnesota river,Lake Traverse,
the Bois des Sioux and the Red
River forminga waterway from
the Mississippi, to Hudson's
Bay. There is to be a meeting
at White Rock tomorrow Fri
day evening to discuss the
matter.
Grand Chief of Honor of the
Degree of Honor, A. o. U. W.,
Mrs. Burgendahl of Glendale,
is expected at Wahpeton Feb
ruary 9th, next. 1t is the pur-
pose of the lodge to tender the
grand, officer courteous recep-
ton and fill the lodge room
with interested members, that
the work of this supurb order
may be exernplitied to the very
best advantage. Of course, all
members will turn out.
Henry Budget of the horse
mans circuit of northern Mimi
esota, has called a meeting of
horsemen to meet at Wadena,
Minnesota, to arrange for cir.
cult racing the coming season.
Frank Boil of the Twin City
Park will be there accompan-
led by F. E. Kaiser and others,
with a view to get into the cir
cult this season. This is a
good move and it is hoped that
the meeting may be success
full and that the popular Twin
| City Park may be entered to
share in the entertainment.
| Mr.. and Mrs. y. Bradseth's 8
little daughter three or four
years old had the misfortune
to lose an eye the other day.
It seems the girl and little
brother each had hold of pair
of sissors and were pulling for
its possession when the scis-
sors slipped from the hand of
the little brother and struck
the little girl in one eye putting
it entirely out. DR.. Devine was
called and sent the little suf-
ferer to Fargo for treatment,
where the remains of the eye
were removed and the wound
dressed. Of course glass eye
will be put in later on. Too
bad for the poor little child.
| The young man VIM. Heems.
berger who surrendered to
Chief Giles last week saying
that he had forged check for
forty odd dollars of a firm at
Foston, Mimi, was taken to
| Crookston by the chief where
he was turned over to authori.
ties from Foston. The authori.
ties had been looking for the
| young man for some time. He
is native of the Transvaal,
I; South Africa, and has a good
| education, speaks several Ian
| guages, a first-class accountant
and stenographer. But declar-
ed that he could not stand a
stricken conscience, wanted to
serve punishment for the deed,
when he would go to his native
land and help his fellow coun.
men in their fight for liberty.
| He seemed to be a bright
straightforward young man of
| good address and rather pre-.
| posing appearance. We hope
that in case this was his first
offense the judge will be as
lenient as possible with him
! Sometimes word of en-.
| couragement lifts an errine
person out of danger, when a
frown and word of condemna.
tion sink to perdition.
