George Parker's team started from DR..
Harris barn on Tuesday, smashed a
rack and ruined buggy belonging to R..
Aylen, cavorted around the alleys little
and were finally stopped by George Bak-
er seemingly quite cool and as though
they were used to that kind of actions
George Parker had narrow escape from
severe injury when the rack came off, as
at that time he was being dragged along
hanging to the lines.
Mrs. Nellie G. Burger, who is famous
all over the United States as an eloquent
and captivating lecturer, will speak at
the Presbyterian church here next Wed.
nesday. June 10. at 8 p. m. From the
press notices which we have seen, we
think no one can afford to miss this rare
opportunity to hear one of the finest
lady orators IN the country. A collect
ion will be taken to defray expenses.
Under auspices of the local W.c.T.U.
A telegram came to Commissioner F.
c. Myrick yesterday informing him Of the
death Of his uncle, Nathan Myrick, Of St
Paul. on Wednesday. Mr.. and Mrs. F.
c. Myrick left yesterday for St. Paul to
attend the funeral. The deceased was
one OF the pioneers of this northwest and
we expect to give some notice of his life
IN our next issue. He leaves one son
and two married daughters, all residents
Of St. Paul.
Memorial day was celebrated in this
city by the simple ceremonies of the G..
"A. K. as outlined in last weeks paper in
the general orders. The school children
assisted the old veterans and quite
number OF the citizens also accompanied
them to the cemetery. A new feature
was the ceremony now common all over
the country of casting flowers upon the
waters flowing to the sea as tribute to
the memories of the sailors whose graves
are beneath the blue waves of the ocean
Among the visiting brethren from out of
town we noticed John Often, VIM. La.
Pierre and Roadhouse, of Neche.
There is sidewalk notice in this issue
that will be Of interest to the citizens gen.
orally and to lot owners in particular. To
good many of the lot owners the build.
ing of new walks at this time will not be
altogether losing deal, because in a
year or two more the present material in
the walks would be total loss, whereas
now much of it can be replaced in such a
manner that it will do for quite a long
time to come. The principal trouble
with most Of the condemned walk is that
the stringers have rotted out so that the
pIanking cannot be nailed when repairs
are necessary. The flood of ~ demon
allied the walks so they have never been
In proper condition since and we think
the move of the council in condemninq
SO much is just right, and it will be
paying investment in the long run as it
Will add so much to the appearance of
the city.
Dr. Harris keeps bees. A week ago
he was quite enthusiastic as to the pro-
hts and benefits of the busy little ones.
Monday evening one of his pets let him
nave taste of its singer on one side of
the bridge of his nose and for little
while the doctor had a pretty serious
time OF it, the poison seemed to enter in
to his whole system and as he happened
to be alone at the time in the house. had
no assistance, though he was pretty near
helpless and in great agony. To make
matters worse, just at that time he was
called to the assistance of Hon. N. E.
Nelson, an account of whose illness is
published in this issue. This compelled
the calling by telegraph OF DR.. Elkins of
Emerson, though DR.. Harris recovered
sufficiently to be able to go to Mr.. Mel
sons assistance before DR.. Elkins arriv-
ed. The doctor is firmly convinced that
bees get busy sometimes at some things
besides manufacturing honey.
