served with delicious wedding lunch

young lady, has become very popular

North Dakotan's Good Work.

The following communica-
tion is from The National
Tribune, Washington, ID. c.,
apparently written from Wah-
peton, and it is said to pay an
accurate and deserved compli-
| ment to North Dakota's popular
department commander, Judge
Orcutt, of this city:
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
The department of North Da-
kota, G. A. H., does not seem to
have attracted the attention of
the editor of The Matt on |
Tribune to any marked degree
in the past, and while your old
soldier subscriber does not
mean to complain, yet we out
here in the bread and cracker
basket of the world ought to
show up in the panorama oc-
casionlly. am here to tell
The Tribune and the thousands
of comrades all over our land,
who follow it's columns, that
the Department of North Dako-
ia is right on hand-thriftv and
substantial, two new post IS
having been recently reported
by Adj't Ackerman.
Among the many good things
| would be pleased to mention
in recognition of our depart
ment, is the one fact that our
superb Department Conman-
der and survivor of Gettysburg,
Freeman Orcutt, Of the Old
Minnesota First, did splendid
work in arranging for this De
partment's representation at
the Chicago Reunion last year.
He was all over the state, and
made it easy for the boys to
line up and at t end in the
magnificent form in VIII i c h
they appeared there. Com :
mander Orcutt broke in on the
old custom of the railro a d
charging national representa-
tives all the way from one cent
per mile to full fare, in that he
got round-trip rate for the
Dakota boys of $1O.55, less than
three-quarters of cent per
mile-and the lowest rates ever
granted anywhere. Formerly
this department had paid a
cent a mile, a saving this time
of the difference between $1O.55
and what it would have cost at
former rates. $l4.5O. But this
does not seem to be the best of
it; this fact started a discussion
in the Encampment which has
finally resulted in general
one-cent-per mile rate for the
Encainpment at Columbus this
year, and for future reunions.
Now, then, your correspondent
wants to set up the claim that
some credit is due Commander
Orcutt and the Dakota Depart
ment for tn concessions,
while the boys and all concern
ed might drop Il word of COM
mendation for the Great North
crn Road and the Northwestern
Line for helping, or at least Tor
acceding in the init a We.
These roads were courteous,
too, III granting all the stop
over privileges for which the
boys saw fit to ask. a. II. :.

Where is Senator Nelson, Now.
Creditable or discreditable, the
republican push of the North
West has succeeded in prevail
ing upon the president to par
don the notorious Alex Nc
Kinzie from the California pen
itentray. The Judges, however,
who imposed the penalty for
Mckenzie's thefts, required
that he restore to the rightful
owners such gold dust and
property as he acknowledged
haven taken from them as
receiver of mines at Nome. am
ounting to an 100000. This
he restored. It was on ac-
count of his having refused to
restore this gold dust to the
rightful owners, constituting
contempt of court. that he was
put in the penitentiary. The
North Dakota republican push
acknowledges, openly, II Il t
Mckenzie is too valuable to
them to be kept in jail--long
at a time. We believe he is ex-
pected to return to Nome to re-
new his efforts to make mis-
chief, but the chances are he
will keep clear of the grasp of
the ninth circuit Judges which
will tend to hold him down
some" in his work at Nome.

Woman's Literary Club,

met with Mrs. O. A. Leach
May 23rd, in her spacious home
on Seventh street, and held a
very interesting and profitable
meeting. Twenty-one ladies
were present, there being eigh-
teen members and three visi.
tors. Among the latter was
Mrs. o. A. Hazen, formerly OF
Wahpeton, now of Sioux City,
Iowa, who during the session
gave a brief but pleasing adj
dress which was received with
applause.
After the usual order Of bust
ness the following program was
rendered.: A paper on "The
French Constitution" was read
by Mrs. Leach. A paper was
also read by Mrs. Wolfe on the
subject, "The French Peasant
ry."
Roll call was responded to by
the individual members of the
club with quotations express
ing patriotic sentiments; some
of which were numerous, and
some sublime. Among them
were the following "The great
est glory of a free bron people
is to transmit that freedom to
their Children" and give me
liberty or give me death"
After the quotations came
the question box which was
taken in charge of by Mrs.
Morrill, in her usual competent
manner. The history lesson
was then conducted by Mrs
Barber on the chapter entitled
"The Three French Presidents.
Following this Mrs. Davidson
as secretary of the program,
committee read the program for
the next years work. This
committee deserves very great
credit for the good judgement
shown in the choice of the
subjects for work and invcsti-
cation for the ensuing year. If
the work proves to be as inter
esti' g as the subjects would
indicate, the club members are
assured of very pleasant
years literary work. One inn
provement over the past years
programs, will consist in the
assignment of one number on
each program to either music
or elocution.
During the coming year Ger
man history will be taken up
instead of French history.
At the suggestion of the pro-
gram committee, the club voted
to have picnic on the date of
its last meeting of next year,
which occurs on June rs, 1902.
1t was also unanimously voted
to accept the kind invitation of
Mrs. Proper to have the club
meeting at her home on Guest
Night" Feb. 14th, of next year.
After the conclusion of the
program and refreshments un-
expectedly served by the
hostess, the meeting adjourned
to convene in three weeks, with
Mrs. Sowles.
