Thursday morning opened with an
increased attendance over the day be-
fore. Those on, the program were not
all present. 8. A. Graham read very
valuable and interesting paper on the
the subject, "Do the farmers get value
received for the money they put out
for agricultural purposes" All pres
ent pronounced the subject very ably
presented and requested that the coun-
ty papers publish the same; so it will
doubtless appear in our columns next
week.
The subject, docs it pay to grind
corn for Stock" was ably handled by
Ed. A. Bates, which was followed by
a discussion of inquiry that was in
teresting and profitable, most all con-
curing with Mr.. Bates in the opinion
that it is profitable to grind corn and
cobs for cattle. The discussion
brought out many profitable ideas
which will be of profit to the farmer
who desires to feed so as to realize the
greatest amount of profit with the least
eXepnse.

to Governor Devfne after the death Of
Governor Briggs in 1898, and at the
time of his death was county commits

THE FUNERAL SERVICES.
Hundreds of. residents Of the city,
friends Of the late Harvey Harris,
gathered at the Methodist church Friday
afternoon to pay their last tribute of
respect and honor to the deceased.
Long before the time set for the COM
mencement of the funeral ceremonies
the church was crowded with those
who came from all walks of life, who
had known and honored him. The
altar was covered with flowers as was
the casket when it was borne into tn
church by the pail bearers, Messrs. C..
B. Little, z. S. Pierce, w. A. Lusby, G.
D. Edick, Joseph Hare, and j. r. Gage.
The funeral services began with

Rev. Guernsey. 1t told of the bless

had departed, and paid tribute to his
character and manliness and the
honor in which he was held in the
community and greatness of the loss

as by the community. After the SER

beautiful solo ASLEEP in Jesus" sweet

church and the remains conveyed to
the Catholic cemetery, where they
were inferred. Hundreds of friends
followed the remains there, and ten

Congressman Spalding in a brief
speech at Fargo referred Interestingly
to the popularity of President McKin-

lions now with those existing
under the last Cleveland adj

good prophet.

MOVE THE SHERIDAN
Glineburg & Lovin Have the Contract
for the Removal of the Sheridan
Hotel.
Pacific Will Expend Up
wards of $4,000 in Remodel
ing It.
Will be Made a First Class Hotel
Building, With Modern Comforts
and Conveniences.

Glineberg & Lovin of this city have
secured the contract for the removal
of the Sheridan house building to the
new site on the block east of the pres
ent location of the hotel. Local Off
Gals of the Northern Pacific received
advices to this effect yesterday and the
contractors We're also notified. The
amount of their contract is $13,5OO.
This includes the moving of the hotel
and the %remodeling as provided by the
plans and specifications for the re-
moval. The work is to begin in a
short time. Tenants of the block to
which the Sheridan will be remove
have been requested to vacate within
Two weeks. AS soon as the moving
apparatus and crew arrive in the city
the work of removal will be begun.
The hotel will be removed in two
sections. One of them will be moved
and swung around on the new site
while the other remains in shape to
accommodate the hotel business to be
done. When the first portion is re-
fitted the other will be moved. The
work contemplated by the Northern
Pacific is more extensive than is gen
orally believed. The expenditure of
the road in placing the hotel in shape
will not be less than $4,000 and will
probably exceed those figures by a on
siderable amount. The purpose is to
make a first class and modern hotel of
the old building. The plastering will
all be removed and it will be replas-
tered throughout with adamant plas-
ter. The building will he veneered
with white brick, similar to that on
the face of the new Baker building.
The windows and doors throughout
will be new, and the stills will be set
with stone trimmings. A plate glass
front will be put in and this will face
Main and Fifth streets. The steam
plant will be repaired and replaced
with new fittings. A basement ten
feet deep will be constructed under
one entire wing, giving room for the
heating plant, laundry and other neces-
sary adjuncts. Provision will be
made for barber shop, bath rooms and
all modern conveniences. When the
building is completed on it's new site
it will be practically a new hotel, and
thoroughly up to date, something that
Will be a source of qualification to the
city. With a new depot on the site
OF the present hotel building, the i'm.
provement in appearance and con.
%venience to the travelling public will
be vast.

HAVEN'T TIME TO SING.

I1A' EN- l llME III SING.
Suppose instead of singing songs,
And warbling unthely gay,
The birds just sat with downcast
heads
And grumbled all the day.
Suppose instead of twittering
in notes of pure delight,
They only sat and grumbled all
The day and through the night.
Suppose, as in the marsh and boys
On every flower and tree
There were no songsters but the frogs
To croak in misery,
Suppose where once the robins 1ocked
To sing in Natures praise,
We had but grumbling birds WIN
"knocked'
lie seasons and her ways.
suppose where now the glad thrush
lifts ~
His head to heaven and sings.
He'd put it down and spend his time
IN finding fault with things,
suppose where on the summer air
His joyous notes are whirled,
He'd sit up in a tree and swear.
How sad would be the world!
Unlike the birds, we still our songs
Nor let the notes ring out,
so busy we seeking to find
Something to kick about.
So many little ais and ills
Into our lives we bring,
We are so busy finding fault
We have no time to sing.

A SIMPLE QUESTION.
The Reader is Requested to Honestly
Answer This.

Are not statements from representa-
tive citizens of Grand Forks more con-
vincing than the doubtful u%tterances
OF people living everywhere else in
the union? Read this:
Mr.. A. L. Failor Of HOS Dakota ave-
nue., Grand Forks, N. D., carpenter,
says: II know just exactly what a
lame back, backache or whatever else
you may term it, means, because l
suffered from it for years. 1 was COM
PEELED to give up printing on account
of it for I could not endure the result
of long standing at the case. The pain
was always in the same place, in and
around the kidneys and across the
loins. Often l "a forced to place
my hands on my back and press it,
too, for the slight assistance it
afforded me and if I stopped it was
with difficulty l could straighten. AL
though l tried many different rene
dies, all recommended for my trouble,
until I procured Doan's Kidney Pills
at Trepanier & Co.'s drug store l was
unable to find anything upon which I
could depend. l broke an ankle and
while lying still I found Doan's Kid
ney Pills just the thing to keep my
kidneys from becoming sluggish. You
are at liberty to send anyone to me
for further particulars of my exper-
fence with and opinion of Doan's Kid
ney Pills."
