The schools resume work next Monday
after the holidays of the pasttwo weeks
The town of Cavalier, which recently
voted to incorporate, holds a special
election on the 10th to elect officers fol
its new.city government.
A change in the time of arrival and
leaving of trains on this line has made
it necessary for the closing of outgoing
mails about twenty minutes earlier than
heretofore.
The time of the south bound passen-
ger has recently been changed from $3.50
to2:37 and the difference of nearly ten
minutes has fooled the public-when it
happened to come along on time.
Milton merchants have adopted the
early closing movement and until the LIST
of May will close their places of business
at $50 each evening, except on Satur-
days. The agreement went into effect
Dec. 18th.
From the last issue of the Walhalla
Mountaineer we learn that the line OF
the Northwestern Telephone Co., will be
extended in the spring from Cavalier to
that place, the company having already
secured the right-of-way.
Next Monday the county board of
commissioners will meet to organize for
the year 1903. With the reelection of
both Commissioners Heapy and Reid
there will be no initiation of new mem
bers and the machinery of county gov
eminent will be taken up with the same
old labor-saving swing as of yore.
Harry Atkinson, assistant cashier of
the Bank of Dresden was Saturday
morning caller last week and registered
full grown kick on the non-appearance
OF the DEMOCRAT at that place. As the
paper last week was printed and mailed
on Wednesday we are enabled to sue
cessfully prove an alibi, but promise to
send out tracer and if possible locate
the trouble.
Langdon, Milton and other western
towns in the state that at one time or
another figured with more or less pro-
mnence in the state baseball league
may from now on figure on looking at
these events as something that is all
over. Everything in the old league has
been dropped with the exception of the
Forks and Fargo. The rest of the cir
cut will be composed of teams that are
being organized at Duluth, West Superior
and st. Paul.
McPhee, does not seem up to date to
nave afflicted the people of Hannah with
that 'tired feeling" by the repeated
visits of his show 'steen times in single
season. The Moon says that the McPhee
Show played there to crowded house
last week. If :sMac" would rack his
Drains and exhaust his grey matter in
Trying to give the dear people something
new once in while there would be q
greater appreciation of his elaborate
program, invariably followed by the ten
cent concert after the big show.
