removed two large cancers from the
breast of Mrs. E. A. Strandberg, OF

| There will be services in the lecture

the resignation of Mr.. Higgins.
K. P. Wigs saloon was closed by
the police last Saturday on accouns
of disgraceful row that took place
there. During the fracas the proprie-
tor received blow on the head which
rendered him unconscious, and a
window was broken. The police did
their duty, as every loyal citizen
acknowledges that the reins OF the
government are not held any too
tight. III r.s* D.. VI.
! The Blackduck Times tells us that a
farmer in that vicinity named Halten-
berger raised oats on his farm q feet
3 inches tall and AZ stalks grew to a
grain. In another place the same
estimable paper tells us one Cunning
ham raised so and 60 bushels of wheat
and ITO bushels of oats to the acre.
We gladly agree with brother Taylor
that Beltrami county is hummer
when it comes to growing crops, but
these stories entitle our brother to the
head of the class.
= Halvor Steenerson was in the city
q few days last week attending few
cases in court. His recent success IN
securing the nomination for congress
makes him feel well, yet it does not
affect him any. Mr.. Steenerson knows
the needs of his constituents as we'll
as any one in the district. We have
said time and again that each one OF
the five candidates was as capable as
the rest to represent the district, and
we say now that Mr.. Steenerson, ii
elected, will make capable and
worthy representative.
| A. M. Greeley. who is in New York
spending his honeymoon, sends out
his marriage announcement, in which
he states: At home, after November
1st, Ripple, MINI. His friends who
know that Ripple is the name Of the
postoffice in Campbell township where
| he has a homestead, and where he
holds the Office of constable, will see
some humor in his announcement.
Ripple is at least seventy-tive miles
away from any railroad. But Greeley
has such a humorous nature that 1t
leaves an imprint on even his wedding
announcement. -'#e-t a.
Reed is doing some photographlng
that in point of merit is something out
of the ordinary. He has made some
views of and surrounding Lake Be-
midi facing sunsets that are thorough
ly successful. 1t has been said for
many years that it is impossible to
fph otograph the sun. Reed does 1t,
and he does it we'll. He made pictures
last week of this character that speak
for themselves. They are on exhlbl-
tion in the window of his gallery
where everyone going to the postotfice
may see them.
There are quite number of Indians
with their squaws and children camp
ing in town near the M. & I. depot.
1t is quite amusing to note how in
dustrious the squaw is. You can see
her feeding the horses, gathering
wood and taking care Of the papoose,
while her husband is enjoying a
smoke in the wigwam and telling tales
of hunting trips to his fellow red men.
She sees to it that the wigwam is in
shape to shed rain, and that there is
no danger of it being destroyed by
fire. She has the cares of the camp
and the cares of knowing where the
next meal comes from. The red man
is indeed lazy mortal.
A week ago F. N. Lang placed on
the market some 5 acre and l acre
tracts west of Whites addition. One
half of the acre tracts are already
sold and number of the one acre
lots. Some of the purchasers have
already commenced to build. Several

ing of strawberries on account of
their ability to produce them after
