some small bequests to Mrs. O.; E.
Sauter, wife Of Judge Sauter, and naming

The reporter ''done aforementioned"
all about the Episcopal carnival concert
of the previous week, which for its unique
features was well worthy the space of an
item. The PROGRAM consisted of a series
OF tableau-like scenes, one Or two
actors in each. The actors were usually
dressed in fancy or historic costumes,
and masked, and sang, recited, whistled,
danced or played some instrument for a
short time and retired. The audience
held cards and guessed the identity of
the actors. Miss Alice Thompson was
awarded the prize, she being the lucky
one Of the seven who guessed all correct
ly. Elegant refreshments were served
afterwards and the proceeds were about
S27 for the benefit Of the church.
We are pleased to note the nomination
of our old friend, Geo. Martin, of St.
Thomas, as the candidate for superin-
tendent of schools on the republican
ticket of Pembina county. We knew MIR.
Martin when he was superintendent of
Towner county and principal of the Can
do schools. and we know from obserya-
ton that his work was of high class
then. His influence in state educational
matters has always been pronounced,
and his principalship OF the St. Thomas
schools has added to his reputation as an
educator. Pembina county will have a
worthy successor to c. E. Jackson, the
veteran superintendent who has probably
done more to mould the educational
sentiment of the state than any other
man.-Grafton Record.

scenes of horror that have reported from
time to time through the columns of the
press, Milton Elford says, gives but
faint impression of the actual conditions
as they existed, as they were beyond de-
scription. 'Agreat Improvement has al
ready been effected in the situation and
the havoc wrought by the storm is grow
ing less noticeable each day, but traces
of the disaster will remain noticeable to
the eye for years to come and will never
fade from the memory of those who went
through the terrible ordeal.-Grand
