The Cooperstown courier. (Cooperstown, Griggs Co., N.D.) 1902-1913, 1902-06-26

our hearty appreciation. This intelli-
gence should be brought to them kF
having existing laws bear upon Al
legged violations oftthe same. 1T is in
this particular fact that our Ameri-
can newspapers err They give no
|ttority and publicity to facts, ideas
and clues, principally surmises, that
would be more expdtiient to publish at
somemore mature period. Through
the assistance of some newspaper by
making facts, clues Khich were far in
advance of those entertained by the
police. has enabled many a fugitive to
.eyade Justice. 1t would be far better
that this information was kept secret
guutil the miscreant WAS in custody.
We think there should be some re-
form work done along this line.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ole Feihqg, who lives
northeast of Cooperstomn, and Mrs.
Anderson, cousin of Mrs. Feiring
who has recently arrived from Mime
apolis, ware pleasant visitors at the
Erlandsons home last Sunday. While
here they attended the church ser
vices held in the Lutheran church Of
Mabel. The Feirings are very pleas
ant and congenial people, and their
visits are highly appreciated.
Our Sunday school, though small in
numbers, still continues to survive,
and those that attend seem to enjoy
it. very much.
The fore part of this week will
pretty much witness the termination
of seeding in this locality. Owing to
the pfeponderance of moisture it has
been quite tedious work this spring.
Oh mercy. but this wet weather
seems to be a great breeder Of mos
quitoes!
Chist Jackson finished springs work
last Saturday aud Is now very happy.
Three days communion services be-
ginning last Friday were held in the
Lutheran church Of Mabel. About
fifteen Of the ablest preachers from
different parts Of the state were pres
ent. On Sunday the last day, the
people did not go home to dinner,
lunch being served in a cook-car near
the church. Those present enjoyed
the services very much.
A very large number of the Mabel
people are going to attend the Fourth
of July celebration at Cooperstown.
Good resolution, push it along.
Otto Thorsgard, the newly elected
school treasurer, is a young man of
rare habits, and highly merits the
trust placed upon him by the people
Of Mabel.
There was little interest manifested
in the school election last Tuesday,
about ten votes were cast. Anton
Christopherson was elected school di-
rector and Otto Thorsgard, treasurer.
A very good choice in both cases. At
this election the question of school
consolidation was discussed quite
freely and all those present seemed to
be warmly in favor of consolidation.
1t now seems-profitable that at least
one township IN Griggs county is 60
ing to take the initiation step in ad-
opting this system. The inaugura-
tion of the consolidation system is
the best thing that could befall the
common schools of North Dakota. It
is in operation in other states, and
even in some counties of this state
and where it has been once introduced
nothing could entice the people to
abandon it. AL that is necessary is
to establish a precedent, and the
other townships will follow suit, 50,
now, let Mabel start the ball a rolling.
Not many of our citizens attended

Church services were held in the
Van Vleet-house last Sunday. Rev.
Cornell of Hannaford occupied the
pulpit.
Why, of course, Prof. Bemis at
tended the circus last Monday.
Ralph Hall, one of our stalwarts in
the republican ranks, transacted
financial matters with Robert Bailey,
the township treasurer, last Tuesday.
The following has it's significance.
