suit of a fall, sustained on Friday
while at work on the interior of the new

Jno. F. Ramage, who has had charge
of the business of the Standard Oil Co.,
in this city the past year has turned the
same over to Mr.. Frank Kansas, who
comes here from Valley City to handle
the same. The extent to which Mr..
Ramage has been. laid up with rhuema-
tism since the cold weather set in made
it impossible for him to give the bust
ness his personal attention.
A business change has been completed
this week through which the interest of
j. Kelland in the meat market of Kel-
land & Mcdonald has been purchased
by Mr.. Shredder, who for some time past

week they have moved onto Third street

by Harnessmaker D. G. Mcdonald.
The organization of class in dancing
is being talked of among the young peo-
pie of Langdon. If the proper interest
is manifested we understand the in
structing of the class will be placed in

here few weeks ago and has position
as one of the department managers in
J. B. Boyds store. Mr.. Saucr has
successfully conducted dancing classes
in several large cities in the east and is
recommended as past master in the

We are pretty reliably informed that
Charley Tough has at last yielded to
Cupid's darts and will in the near future
be welded to one of Ontarlos fair
daughters. It is partly to attend this

brother may have fired his heart Co sim
liar matrimonial ambition. We shall
await news along this line with {; con-
siderable interest and be ready to well
come Mrs. Tough if Franks courage
permits him to make the venture.

The event of next week with our peo-
pie naturally will be the Burns celebra-
ton of the Californian society of this
county, to be held here on Friday. tits
expected that the Scotch from all over
the county will begin to gather early in
the day and com nittees on reception
have been appointed to take care OF the
visitors from distance as they arrive
on the trains. The program prepared to
celebrate the Hath anniversary of the
the birth of Robert Burns will start with
the concert in the court room at the
court house in the evening, to be follow
ed by the banquet, which proceeds the
ball. The Calidonian society hold5their
annual meeting for the election of new
officers and entertainment of distin-
guished visitors after the concert.
Much attention is being paid this year
to the caring for of minor details and in
hospitality and entertainment the Scots
of Cavalier county propose to Guido any
of their efforts of past years.
The grand opening advertised to
take place at the fine new quarters of
Schulke's Trade Palace on Saturday last
was success in every detail and the
bitter cold day in no way deferred the
crowd from thronging every inch OF
floor space of the elegant new quarters.
The visitors, many live as far as twenty
five and thirty miles distant from the

ing that he had disposed of souvenirs of
the occasion to exceed 3,4O0, but it is a
safe estimate that the number of per-
sons passing through the store during
the day would easily reach double that
number. A feature generally comment
ed upon and, admired by visitors was

pianist. The musical program by this
orchestra in balcony at the end of the

but all day. Another thing those who
