CAN'T BEAT DAKOTA.
A Former Langdonite Says Don't Go West
Unless You Know ALI About It.

Friends Of Geo. s. Mcdonald and
and family, who LETT here in the spring
for Oregon, will be glad to hear that at
last they have found a section OF coast
country which appears to suit them
fairly well. When they lett here their
destination was Roseburg, Ore, Sick
ness in the family compelled him to move
two months later to Santa Rosa, Cal.
where he says the climate is beautiful
and hopes to locate permanently. Mr.
Mcdonald does not say what occupation
he intends taking up, but suggests to
his friends that if they have the fever
for moving west not to pull up stakes
until they have been able to take a trip
out and look the country overland the
chances are that after doing so they will
be satisfied to remain where they are
In the past it has been too common a
thing for man to work hard for the
best part OF his life accumulating a
competency and then decide that he can
do better in some far state only to find
that the old home he left behind was the
most comfortable after all.

THE CIRCUS A FAKE.
Short Change Artists Hold UP the Crowd
and Make Good Big Haul.

The aggregation of attractions that
travel under the name OF the "Syndicate
English American Show" nothing but
a gigantic fraud and none other than
the descredtable outfit OF Lehmon Bros
put up their tents here last Thursday
The day previous reports came from up
the line at Hannah that though the
show was passably fair it had associ-
ated with it IL gang OF cut throat artists
and thugs who operated skin games
OF every name nature and description.
The city authorities gave the manage
ment to understand as soon as they
landed in town that if any OF their skin
games were introduced here they would
be ordered out OF town. AS result the
three card monte mau and the shell
game artist were not out looking for
unsuspecting victims, but it is estimated
that between $500 and $500 was carried
out OF town illigitimately by the short
change artists, everybody from the man
at the ticket wagon to the vendor o
lemonade getting in their graft.

MORE SMALL POX.
A Young Frenchman at Rush Lake Found
Stricken With the Disease.

Monday the information was received
by Health Officer Gibson that new
case OF small pox had been found in the
Rush Lake neighborhood. Emmanuel
Beauchamp is the young man stricken
with the disease and when visited by DR..
Gibson on Monday appearances indicat
ed that at least week had elasped since
the pox marks had first broken out.
The case is OF the same mild type as all
OF those treated by the board OF health
in this county since early in the spring.
and it is hoped this will be the last heard
of around here for some time to come.
The public can form but a small idea OF
the enormous expense that the county
has been called on to bear in taking
steps to prevent the disease spreading
itself into general epidemic, and negli-
gence either wanton or careless in OBJ
serving the quarantine regulations
should be dealt with in the strictest
manner possible.

BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS
Work Starts This Week on Three Fine
New Homes on Sixth Street.

New Homes on Sixth Street.
In the past few days work has been
started on three new residences on Sixth
stree. north of the school house which of
itself is distinct denial of the rumor
that short crop prospects in the fall had
placed the building contractor at a
disadvantage this summer. Since Mon
day the framework of large roomy cottage
that Neil McKechnie is building has
loomed into sight and at the end Of the
street Attorney Erickson has the foun-
dation laid for residence that will adorn
his corner lots and make pretty and
comfortable home for-somebody. On
the lots south of Attorney Erickson the
stakes were driven Tuesday marking the
corners of a two story house Geo. w.
Graves is putting up and will move into
when he brings his family to town this
winter and give the children the ad-
vantage of our city schools. Two of the
contracts have been let to Bleakley &
Voll and Jno. johnson has the job of
building Attorney Erickson's new domi-
cile The solid growth of the residence
portion of Langdon is what gives our
city such homelike appearance.

Says They Had High Old Time.
In company with w. A. Murphy, J. P.
Hicks and Marshal jackson the Chrome
type man drove over to Langdon on
Monday last, returning Wednesday.
The ride was most delightful, the party
jolly one and the trip was highly enjoyed
by all The object of the trip, primari-
ally was to attend the judicial conven-
ton. but more time was spent in forming
the acquaintance cf the Langdon ''boys"
each Of whom is a prince in his own
right, with Senator Laidlaw as the
acknowledged chief. To the stranger
upon his first visit the fact is at once
impressed that Langdon is a town of live
business men, surrounded by vast,
fertile territory. The appearance OF the
crops along the route are not of pre-
possessing nature although there are
many splendid fields of grain, notably in
the vicinity of Langdon, but this IS the
exception rather than the rule. On
what 1s. styled the first mountain the
prospect of any crop at all s poor indeed.
A careful estimate of the crops along the
entire route. made by j. P Hicks, who is
a most competent judge, places the
average yield at not over five bushels per
acre.-Neche Chronotppe

"They Weren't In It."

Iney WeIeHt III It.
The base ball match between Langdon
and Morden resulted decidedly in favor
of our boys. While the boys from Lang
don may be fine players in their own
class, this time they took altogether too
much to digest or even handle or digest
and where simply outclassed and out
played at every turn. 1t seems rather
presumptuous on the part of Langdon
that they should hope to win against a
senior team who are so much heavier
than themselves. According to term
which the small boys used, 'they weren't
in It," The umpire, j. Jennings, Of
Cavalier. N. d., gave satisfaction to all.
The gentlemaply and fair manner in
which he gave his decisions was indeed !
worthy of note. Morden did not need to

BAD LOSS BY FIRE.

the new settlers that took up land in
the southwestern part 81 this country a
year ago suffered loss by fire at noon
on Thursday OF last week that has
almost totally discouraged him with
pioneer life in the west. In the forenoon
he had been working at small forge,
near the barn fixing up the shear OF his
plow. Leaving his work at dinnertime he
had scarcely begun the meal when smoke
from the direction OF the barn attracted
his attention only to find that the build
ing was mass of flames. The loss OF
six horses, with harness and quantity
of grain is. blow that strikes heavy on
one making start in new country
and when in town Saturday Mr.. Allison
stated that he had decided to return east
andwlth that end in view disposed of

Who SWiped That Umbrella?

Frank Henry returned last night from
a two weeks trip west. He was parti:
cularly happy last night as the result of
the extreme thoughtfulness of a party
that had occupied his room during his
trip. He had $500 umbrella which he
neglected to put in the pawn shop before
he left, and instead left it behind the
door of his bathroom. Last night he
found in its stead 40 cent cotton UNI
brella, with the ribs so rusty he couldn't
open it. To whom he is SO deeply in

GERMAN OFFICERS IN THE
T~RANSVAAL.

Birmingham Post: The "Militar-
wochenblatt'' of Berlin publishes the
following extract from a letter. dated
johannesburg, April 10: with every
ship there still continues to come from
Europe a number of men of various ages
and ranks with the expectation of find
ing remunerative employment In the
Boer army, or, after the war. in other
ways. Among these are nan retired
German officers. Only those who have,
built castles in the air or who demand
nothing remain undeceivd; the others,
and they are by far the larger number,
soon regret that they ever rushed to
South Africa, and desire nothing better
than to get quickly home again, but this
can only be accomplished he nee
essary o S forthcoming. Those,
however, who have decided from the
outset to take part in the war. suffer
no present distress. The Boer govern
ment finds them quarters at a hotel,
and as soon as they receive a free jour-
ney to the front and free board n
lodging when there. For many of these
the period of distress will come when
the war is over and thy have to pro-
vide for themselves. If the country
becomes English these combatants will
not have a shadow of a claim on the
new government: N If it remains
Boer, they can hardly reckon on any
show of gratitude, for, in
spite of other good qualities. that is n
of the virtues the Boer scarcely even
knows, the practice of it being quite
out of the question"
