ANOTHER NEW YEAR.

A New Year is rapidly ap
preaching, and again it is my
privilege and very great pleas.
ure to express to all officers
and employees personal thanks
and Acknowledgements for the
faithful, intelligent, and eff
cient service rendered during
the year about to close; servi-
ces which have produced re-
suits, making the year ending
December 31st. 1899, the most
successful in the entire his
tory of the Seaboard Air Line.
The outlook is encouraging.
The Seaboard is unQuesti0n-
ably to become, in the very
near future, a system of vast
Importance. Its mileage will
be largely increased. The
principal cities of the South
will be reached by it, and
upon the basis of a shorter
mileage than at present exists
by other routes.
That our renewed efforts in
behalf of the greater interests
to be served may prove even
more successful, if possible.
in the future than in the past,
is my most sincere wish. Let
us strive for it's accomplish
ment.
Permit me to again express,
Con behalf of our President,
as we'll as myself,) the hope
that the New Year may prove
most prosperous to all, includ-
ing those dear to you, in the
myriad homes made glad by
your smiles, and dignified by
your toll.
With every good wish,
Yours faithfully,
E. ST.. JOHN.

E. E. Willy, WHO Langdon people will
remember rs one of the spell binders of
republican oratory here in the last cam

tackled onto his name and advertised on
the bills as 'the man that looked like
Bryan" came 10 grief in st. Paul last
week. And is now in Jail there to await
trial for enveigIipg whiskey man into
letting loose of his money. The complain
ant is w. L P,rkins. wholesale liz lor
merchant i'll 81. Paul, who speaking of
the case says that he met Willy about q
week ago, the ex-ciergyman having a
letter of introduction to him. He made
loan of $1:5 and hen presented draft
for $25 made on P. j. Loynes of Steele,
N. D., Oh which payment was later re-
fused When placed under arrest the
police found Willy al the Sherman hotel,
and it is said that oe was about to leave
the city. He claims at the present time
to be in the employ of a St. Paul land
company securing settlers for their lands
in this state and denies that he commit
ted any crime ia offering the draft.
Willy says he las plenty of friends in
st. Louis where he lived during the
height OF his ministerial fame, who will
assist him in clearing himself.

THE PASSION PLAY.
Father Cleary's Thrilling Lecture Pleased
Everybody That Listened.

Tuesday nights lecture at the Dono-
van Hall by Rev. J. M. Cleary, of Min.
neapolis, on "The Passion Play of Ober-
ammergaa," was paid the compliment
of one OF the largest audiences that ever
gathered IN this city, among those present
being many from surrounding out
side towns of the county as we'll as parties
here attending court this week. Previous
to the commencement of the lecture a
eornet and piano duet was rendered by
Prof. E. Moore and Mrs. F. x. Belleheur
followed by selection given by Lang
don's talented soprano soloiet, Mrs. F.
S. Smith. The speaker Of the evening
was introduced to the audience by Hon.
j. B. Boyd, who spoke briefly of the
treat which he felt safe in assuring
the audience was in store for them.
For upwards an hour and d half Rev.
Cleary kept his hearers with him as he
graphically presented the thrilling scenes
of the play from the time that Christ
drove the rabble from the temple in
Jerusalem to the hour OF his cruclhx1on
on the cross. The lecture itself was
prefaced by few minutes taken up in
giving the history of the play, showing
that the villagers of Oberammergau had
instituted it in commentator of he cessa-
ton of plague which devastated the
Bavarian highlands in 1888, and has
since been regularly observed, in accord
ance with VOW made by the villagers,
who present the play once every ten
years. Rev. Cleary pleased everybody
with his eloquence, showing himself to
be man of great scholarship, of large
ability, wide sympatbies and earnest
convictions. The lecture was given
under the auspices of St. Mary's Court
of the Catholic Order of Foresters and
was pronounced success financially and
otherwise.

pended Oh to fulfill his promises. There
was nothing wrong in his legislative ca

legislature and put ON great deal more
style than Ole ever ventured to. /
happened TO be in Bismarck when Ole
was a member of the house. He said
to me one day: "A lot of these fellers
tank day play me for d-m fool; the
difference between them and me yust
this, Ay know Ay am too big fool to
be in the legislature, but they are lot
of d-m fools and don't know it," /
got we'll acquainted with Ole after that
and found him to be man of sterling
worth, one that you could tie to. There
were. no friIls about him, except his
whiskers, but he WAS all wool and yard
wide. I am glad to hear that he is pros
pering, for he is one of the deserving
| kind"
