The weather last week was about the
iercest proposition we have been up
against this winter. The storm extend
ed over the whole state, and railway
traffic was badly disorganized in con-
sequence.
The law as amended by the last session
Of the legislature changes the time for
holding annual village elections from the
first week in May to the third Tues
day of March of each year, and permits
the clerk, treasurer, assessor and marshal
to be one and the same person.
We believe there is more snow on the
ground now than this section has seen
at this time of the year since 1867.
The fall has net been to exceed three or
four inches at any one time, but it has
kept coming until there must be towards
afoot. This is considered pretty good
guarantee for next years crop season.
one OF the proofs of the severity of
the weather during the present winter
is the fact that Langdon has been on
the verge of a coal famine since the be-
ginning of the present month. When
the winter set in local dealers considered
the supply put in ample for local de-
mand. All have shipped in number of
cars since and now with at least six
weeks OF winter still in sight there is
little If any hard coal to be had in Lang

are IN transit somewhere along the line.

afternoon was conducted by Rev. Welt

Mrs. John Zeller of this city is a daughter
of the deceased.
The DEMOCRAT gets off with sentence
of seven years with Mr.. Weatherman at

account of an error that occurred in a
local item in last weeks issue. In order
to properly correct the matter we would
state that it is Fred L. Newbern and not
Fred Baldwin, who has an auction sale
Wednesday of the coming week and
that it is not the later named old timer
who is making preparations to decamp
to Iowa. In fact Fred we mean Mr..
Baldwin,-in this instancs-has not quit

is not tired of the job. AS to our friend,

and ready to admit that North Dakota
is the whole thing. Any way we are
glad to note that Mr.. n, who in this
case We have assured ourselves is the

leaving here is still the owner OF one of
the best farms in this part Of Cavalier

A HOUSE DIVIDED.
Ehe Reason n PIsaned Goose Dinner
Was "a Failure.

~ ~
Most persons have had tao expert
ence of walking with a friend out OF
step and trying to shift just at the
Unomcnt when the friend also makes
che attempt This is an instance OF
thwarted harmony much like that
which appears in a story told by a
1.ondon journal Of an elderly couple.
They were childless and had never
been united by the bond Of other lives
linked with their own. SO they were
always In state OF well bred dlsa-
greement
or the subject OF meals they disa-
greed thoroughly. and each usually
suggested a dish for the Sunday din
ner which the other did not approve.
One saturday the man came home
6rom market with basket
'Yop needn't worry about tomor-
rows dinner any more. Maria. I've
Got it.
And so have |. George. You were
no undecided"-
"Undecidedl told you what want

Well, l mean you didn't decide as

why, so have !. ! told you I'd like
q goose
"weII, now we are agreed Tor once
anyway"
Eyes. and suppose wen have cold
goose aRd stewed goose for the next
Two weeks"
They relapsed into their usual ST.
1ence.
Sunday forenoon the wife asked,
DO you want a little qulnce In the
apple sauce with your g0oseT'
~four goose. you mean1"
