\ SUCCESSFUL CELEBRATION.

There was big crowd in Linton on
the Fourth-that is, it was big when
one considers the fact that there were
celebrations at several other points in
the county, Everything passed of
without a hitch: The business build
ings on Broadway and many of the
residences ii other portions Of the
town were tastefully decorated.
The arrangements committee had
made deal with the weather clerk
by which pleasant weather had been
promised, and the clerk stuck faith
fully to his agreement.
Attorney Il. A. Armstrong acted as
president Of the day.
Between the hours of IL and IL
the exercises began in the bowery
which the public spirit cf the mem-
bers Of the Linton Orchestra had pro-
vided. Prayer was offered by the
Rev. J. E. Mckinney. Then the Dec
laration was read in English by D. r.
Streeter and in German by Peter
Schweitzer. Next was the oration
by the Hon. j. H. Wishek, which was
able and instructive = just such
speech as one would expect from the
big-hearted, liberal-minded old-timer
who went into our sister county Of
Mcintosh when coyotes and gophers
held full sway. The address was thor.
oughly appreciated by the large audi
ence in attendance.
In the afternoon. the crowd gather.
ed at the1.race track and baseball
park, where the sporting events took
place.
| Cloyd Kurtz's horse took the free
for-all race in two consecutive heats
i A horse owned and ridden by an I1-
dian from Standing Rock took the
pony race, with the Newberry horse
second.
Roy Bales took first money in the
cowboy race, with Will Rowse second.
Willis saddlelturned as he was making
his second mount, cutting out all
chances Of hf getting first money.
i Richard Co6nen was first In the 100:
yard foot race, with Wallace Kyes
second.

and Hampton was won BY the latter.

BABY GIRL DROWNED.

"A peculiarly sad death by accident
occurred Thursday Of last week, about
S O'Clock p. M, In the West6eld neigh
borhood. Hattie, aged two years and
seven months, daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. w. Renskers, old settlers in
that neighborhood, was drowned. The
little girl had been out of her mothers
sight but short time when her body
was found in q stock watering-tank
not great distance from the house.
Life was practically extinct when she
was found. Hattie was the baby of
the family, and the only daughter at
home, an older. sister having been
married and gone away. There is
much sympathy for Mr.. and Mrs.
Renskers in the loss Of their little
g1rl. They have been visited twice by
the death angel. within q few months,
their first loss being a son who had
just reached manhood.

ONE Of the surprising evidences Of
the fact that North Dakota is no
longer a frontier state is given by the
Grand Forks Herald. Its recent num-
ber commemorative Of the twenty
fifth anniversary of its founding is a
gem geographically and in literary
sense. We had not believed that such
perfect printing and such mammoth
job could be done with facilities Oh
tainable in this state.

THE EXCURSION.

THE EXCURSION.
The farmers and stockmen's s excur-
sion to the Agricultural College and
Experiment Station ut Fargo will
leave Linton by N. P. train at Z a. m.
Tuesday, July 10th, and Hazelton
about an hour later, returning home
by Fridays train. An extra coach
for the excursionists will be attached
to the train. 1t is expected by the
college and station authorities that
all who 20 will feel that they are in
honor bound to visit the college and
station. The excursion is not in the
nature Of picnic visit to the city Of
Fargo. Each year the N. p. and the
G. N. make nominal rates to limited
number of farmers and stockmen in
the counties along their lines, so that
they may visit the college and station
and obtain personal knowledge Of
the faithful work that is being done
there for the benefit of the agricultu
raj and stock interests of the state.
The railway authorities do this be-
cause they know that anything that
tends to lead to better methods Of
farming and stockraising will increase
the tonnage Of freight to be hauled to
market. Hence, good faith requires
that every excursionist should spend
day visiting the college and station,
The party will be in Fargo two days,
which will give a day for seeing the
city and the street fair that will be
held during the week.
Identification cards, to be obtained
as stated below, must be Endorsed on
the back with the name Of the holder
of the card before it is presented tt
the ticket agent.
AS it appears that not more thar
the requisite number will go, there Il
no need of a drawing. Those farmers
or stockmen first applying, to the
number Of fifty, will constitute tn.
party.
There is an opportunity for about
ten more to join the excursion. "Firs1
come, first served.'
In reply to an inquiry by the edito
of the Record, President Worst write
that lady farmers or stockraisers ar,
just as welcome to 60 on the excursion
as the mere men.
II, for any reason, an applicant find
that something unforeseen will keel
him at home, he should promptly sem
word to the editor of the Record, re
turning his Identification card. I
this is not done, no one can take th
stay.at-home's place.
Those from northern neighborhood
who want to attend the circus at Lin
ton on the 18th, and who would Other
wise take the train at Hazelton, ca
go from Linton. But any one in thl
category should notify the editor a
once and return his Hazelton identif
cation card If he has already receive
one.
The price for the round "trip fror
Linton or Hazelton is sl.75.
To the younger and more frolicson

word of advice: II, in Fargo, you Sc

Long days spent in the open air are be-
coming more and more a feature of our
summer life. No more do we consider a
picnic a rare function that occurs but
once or twice in the season. Instead, we
take it as a matter Of course, and make
litttle fuss about it.
Several reasons may be given for this.
We are turning more and more to nature
for our rest time and are learning to ap-
preciate what a benefit there is in pure.
fresh air. We long to get into the woods
and fields and away from the city-even
the most devoted cockneys among us.
Also, we have learned new ways Of doing
within reach and the trolley has made ac-
cess to rural joys easy for the jewellers in
cities. We do not have to hire a horse
and wagon when we wish to put the town
behind us for a few hours.
When such outings as these are to be a
matter of frequent occurrence it is mis-
take to plan that they should be too elab-
crate. Then they become a burden The
woman who has tired herself out with
preparations for days rest, feels, by the

The Harp ON Which the Royal Beauty
Played Was Sold in Edinburgh, hut
Its Jewels Had Been Stolen-The
Story of Its Presentation to Pretty
! Scotch Lass. E-

For once famous piece Of antique fur
niture has been purchased by those who
ought to have it, and the harp which
belonged to Mary, queen Of Scots, will
remain In Edinburgh instead Of being
carried to some new mansion in New York
by an American millionaire. The harp
was purchased by the Society of Anti
ouaries of Scotland for $4,000, when it
was put on the market recently at the
death Of the last Of the old Stewart fam
lily of Dalguise. &
Originally the harp bore the portrait
of the queen and the arms Of Scotland
set in gems, but the rare stones were
stolen in the rebellion Of 1745 when the
harp itself was lost for a time.
In her youthful days Mary often ac-
companied herself on this harp, and 1T
was carried with her wherever she went,
after the fashion Of noble DANES, whose
baggage, consisting as it did Of all sorts
of household furnishings, would quite rival
that of a woman Of fashion Of to-day.
The story of the harp is authenticated
by many family histories and legends. In
1853, when Queen Mary was on hunting
excursion in the Perthshire highlands, she
varied the excitement Of the chase by
holding musical concerts, in which she
herself often took part. In one of these

make change at the end of the day. A
small set of toilet belongings also, comb
toothbrush, orangewood stick, powder bag
and a tiny jar of cold cream may go with
them and there will even be found space
for spool Of thread, needles and scissors
and thimble.
Thus supplied any woman may feel her
self ready to off for two three days
riding. with no fear Of discomfort. A
party that is we'll planned and suitably
chaperoned will find there's are not many
pleasanter ways of spending a brief holt
day than on trip of this sort. Now
that it seems to be an accomplished fact
that every woman who is not actually in
firm or otherwise incapacitated will ride
a bicycle this summer there is a peculiar
interest in planning outings of this sort
Whatever form they take. on two wheels
or on four, in a trolley car or boat, they
can not fail to be a success if they mean

LOUISE MICHEL LIES NEAR DEATH
Famous Frenchwoman, Who Fought
for the Communists Is Dying of
Consumption at ToulOn-A Strange
Combination of Fire and Philan-
thropy, She Believed Events, Not
Her Will, Guided Her Actions.

One of the most widely known and
most picturesque characters in France.
Louise Michel, lies dying at Toulon, and
it is only a question Of days before her
turbulent life will be over. Before she
became famous as the Joan of Arc of
the commune she was teacher in
French boarding school,, and her services
were so valued that when the school was
closed Able Marechal raised fund of
$4,000 to place her at the head
In those days Louise Michel was an
ardent Catholic, and it was not until she
came under the influence of Ferre that
3ehe left the church. She donned a. uni
form, ashouldered musket and. went into
battle as fearlessly as the bravest soldier
fHer mother was not in sympathy with
her beliefs, and one day, after an sunsuc-
1sceasful attempt to keep her at HON e,
| she cried bitterly: Go, then They will
| tie you to the end of chain like a strange
beast and make you dance to amuse the
i people!"
| S..Ah, WELL" retorted Louise, IT will go
| and I will dance, and they will give me
money, and the people who have not eaten
shall have food!'
During the siege she gathered all of
| the little ragamuffins under her wing and
i taught and fed them, .altho her purse was
st4often empty.
IT have poor, but no money! she said

And have money, but no poor, -
promptly replied the high-born woman,
and made the reformer her almoner.

Current Modes Resemble Those of
a Century Ago and Presage the
Return of the Powdered Wig
No Single Period Is Being Re-
produced, However.

Desire for the picturesque is becoming
more and more a ruling craze with all
modistes, and it now looks as tho we
should surely return to the powdered wig
of the time of Louis XVI. In fact, there
are many points of resemblance between
the costumes of to-day and those Of more
than a century ago.
Fashion, however. seemingly at a loss
for originality, has not bound herself to
reproduce the costume Of any one period.
but, apparently, is trying to slft them all
and get from the gowns worn during the
last hundred years one definite style that
is as attractive as she can make it.
Whether or not she has succeeded it is
difficult to say, for in spite of this striving
for perfection, the main idea which the
dress of to-day gives is rather that Of eX-
aggeraton than Of the picturesque.
A clever dressmaker, however, knows
how to tone down a model gown so that
it may be becoming to any figure and be
