Braddock Republican: Mrs. Ira
Mandigo's fall down a cellarway last
week proved to be more serious than
was at.flrst supposed. She was so seri-
ously injured that it was necessary to
take her to the hospital at Bismarck
Monday, where a surgical operation
was to be made.
Some changes are being made in the
land office rooms. The front window
will be changed, and a door put in, to
accommodate the increased business.
The counters will be arranged across
the room, to enable several persons to
work, instead of one at a time as now.
The change will make the office more
convenient, both for the officials and
clerks, and for those making filings.
Wilton News: General and Mrs. w.
D. Washburn came up Wednesday.
After a short stop they went to Wash
burn, returning here in the evening
Ito spend the night. The senator notes
the many improvements in and about
town and expresses his pleasure there
at. Mrs. Washburn, after an inspec-
ton Of the creamery plant, bought the

Last evening in the Methodist
church, there was an interesting ses-
sion of the Senior Epworth League,
led by Ellis Miller, the promising
young son of the excellent pastor of.
the church. and participated in by
many Of the young people of the
church. A well trained choir, with
Miss Miller as organist, furnished
beautiful music, and as one listened to
the fresh young voices it was with
grateful thought that parents were SO
happy in having such instructive and
pleasant meetings for attendance of
their young sons and daughter.
Funeral services over the remains
on the late Mrs. IL. E. Semling were
held this afternoon. 1t was intended
to have held them at the Swedish
Lutheran church, but owing to the
large number of friends who desired
to attend, it was held in the more
spacious Methodist church. The re-
mains were escorted from the resi-
dence to the church by a number of
representatives of the Workmen, De-
gree Of Honor and Knights of Pythias.
At the church there was a large con-
course of friends. Appropriate serv-
ices were held, and many followed the
remains to their last resting place.
The warmer weather is bringing
farm crops along rapidly. Rains still
continue, but the past few days have
seen bright sunshine and warmer
weather. Hay can be cut anywhere
on the prairies and is heavy and will
make good yield. Flax that wa early
sown is coming into blossom in some
places. Wheat has made good prog
ress. The warm weather is bringing
along the corn which has been back
ward owing to the unusually cool sea-
son. All farmers feel encouraged and
look for good crops. There has al
ready been enough rainfall to insure
a. fair crop. The critical period, usu'
ally in the first week in July, is past
and hail seems about the only thing
chat can prevent good crops.
Superintendent Eckels, of the Wash
burn road; John Satterlund, A. G. NC
Gillivray and several others, made {
trip ito Washburn onsa special trai1
yesterday. The cable ferry was in.
spected with a view to making som
changes, and members of the part.
took occasion to view the splendid
crops along the line of the road, ant
the great improvements in the tow
of Washburn and Wilton. 1t has beef
decided to put on a gasoline engine, t'
reinforce the natural river curren
which, in case of heavy wind u
stream, is not strong enough to prope
the ferry. The ferry otherwise is
great success and of great convenience
TO the people Of Mercer and Olive
counties, and material benefit to tn,
merchants of Washburn> and incident
ally Bismarck.
