arranged to come to Aberdeen to make

Floyd Taylor perpetrated a joke on
the young Wickre boy Monday night.
He collared the boy and made a bluff
that he was going to incarcerate him in
the city bastile. Floyd got the boy just
at the entrance when the young man
tripped Floyd up and threw him on his
nose and departed ON a high lope for
safe quarters. The joker was joked in
this instance.
w. F. Ka ding is moving the building
now occupied by him as a harness shop
to one Of the lots near. Martin S%orenson's
shop where he will transact business
during the time consumed in building
Of a handsome new business block
which will be built on Main street by
Mr.. Kading this summer. The upper
portion will be especially constructed
for the convenience and comfort of the
many lodges il this city, and when
completed Webster will undoubtedly
have one of the finest lodge halls in the
state.
The 18th of May was ittingly
observed at Lynn Lake Tuesday.
Music, speaking and feasting filled in
the greater part of the day and the
exercises concluded with a ball game
between the Lynn nine and a picked
nine. The principal speakers were
John Linlokken and Attorney Frank
Anderson, of Webster. The latter's
address was delivered in English and
was bristling with patriotism and elo-
quence. The music by the church
choir was exceptionally fine as vas also
the music by the orchestra. Altogether
the day was an enjoyable one.-Pier-
pont Signal.
The Troubadours, under the auspices
of the Redmen lodge at the opera house
Monday evening, are pronounced to
have been the finest company of enter
tainers that have visited Webster this
season. Every number on the concert
program was enchored and the members
of the company responded happily. The
dance after the concert was largely
attended, the music is pronounced to
have been the very best that was ever
rendered in this city. Should this COM
pany ever return to Webster the will be
accorded a very large reception.
One day last week Roy Irwin engaged
a team at n Of the livery stables and
drove out and spent the day at the lake.
When he he got ready to return home
he went toithe stable aud hitched up
the team he supposed was his and then
returned to this city. When he arrived
at the barn he was somewhat surprised
when the proprietor asked him where
he got the team. 1t developed later
that Roy had hitched up a Waubay
livery team and never discovered his
mistake. He is not the first person who
has gone fishing and got buffaloed so he
did not know his own team. Most any
thing that happens to a man on a fish
ing excursion is extusible.
1t has been reported in Webster that
one or two of the business men of Bris-
tol have been talking about the ball
teams they used 20 have in that city
and how they used to beat Webster on
the diamond. Several of our business
men have got hold of this story and pro-
nounce it a falsehood and declare if the
| players that Bristol used to have beat
| Webster then they ought to be able to
do it again. They at least believe that
the ''has beens" of Webster are too

assert that they are willing to play
Bristol two games with the old players
of both towns as competitors for honors,
one game to be played at Bristol and
one in this city. One-half of the gate
receipts of each game are to go to the
base ball association of the city where
the game is played and the ether half is
to be used for the entertainment of the
visiting team. Come on Bristol, either
accept the challenge and get ready to
play ball or forget that you ever had a
ball team.
