The Older Generation.

The older generation Of NanderbIIts
is even more generously provided. Mrs.
H Mckay TWombly and Mrs. William
Douglas Sloane. daughters of old VIII
liam II. Vanderbilt, have rivieres OF
diamonds Of identically the same de-
sign. Both have their tiaras and pearls.
Mrs. w. Seward Webb, another sister,
however, does not wear so many Jewels.
OF all the daughters-in-law Of the late
Jay Gould, Mrs. George Jay Gould owns
the largest collection. Mrs. Gould s
pearls are a match for any lot IN Amer
lea. and she wears six ropes of them,
after the fashion of Queen Margherita
of Italy. Owing TO the crcam-color
tints Of her skin, pearls suit Mrs Gould
admirably. In addition to her marvellous
pearls, Mrs. Gould has a dog collar set
with enormous emeralds. Mrs. Gould s
4vorite tiara IS very tai, built on a
sndation of diamonds. The prongs
barbed with pear-shaped pearls.

A Weeks Rest.

The writer spent last week in Chicago
with his boys, Sid and Jim. 1t is quite a
rest for the country editor to jump into
and mingle with the rush and hustle Of a
hustling city like Chicago, (always with
the accent on the ''go.") Everybody in
Chicago, except country folks like US, go
AS though they were after the doctor,
and they keep going from somewhere to
somewhere, in long. crowded, pushing
PROFESSIONS alone the pavements, across
the streets, in the cars, and one wonders
where from and where to. Chicago
grows upwards, outwards and now it is
digging downwards. The buildings
grow higher. the suburbs grow thicker
with large buildings, mostly blocks of
"hats," and 1t takes about two and half
hours ON the fast elevated trains to ride
through the most thickly settled parts OF
the city from one side to the other, and
soon one can make the same trip
in the underground subways. Every
where buildings are going up. Vacant
lots being filled, and new and larger
buildings taking the place of the old. A
week OF the rush, smoke and smells is
enough; it is another kind of rest to get
back to the little city Of Pembina, and
we will not tire of Pembina in week.
We went over the Milwaukee road,
and it runs mighty fine trains and best of
service. There are other good roads be.
tween the Twin Cities and Chicago, but
we like the Milwaukee road the best be-
cause of the fine equipment, and because
one gets daylight ride along the banks
of the Mississippi from Lacrosse to St.
Paul, that is unexcelled in river beauty
and scenery.
Chicago is good city to visit, to see
magniticence, prosperity, riches, rush
poverty, misery, smoke, dirt and devil
try, and when you have seen it, to bless
your heart you don't have to live there.

MARSHAL BARTON ASSAULTED.
His Assailant Still at Large-A Most
Brutal Assault with Deadly Intent.

Marshal Barton of the city Of Drayton
is suffering from severe injuries around
the head and skull, received from a
Frenchman named Jim Quinn, also liv-
ing under the assumed names of
John Burns and Joe Brennan. Mr.. Bar
ton discovered that Quinn, who is a no.
DO, had bootlegging establishment in
some willows, on the river bank, near
town.
Without mentioning the matter to any
one, Barton went to the place and found
sixteen pint bottles of whiskey in bag.
He passed Quinn on his way to the will
lows, but without looking around, he
shouldered the bag and its contents, and
began climbing the bank. He had not
gone far before Quinn was upon him and
Mr.. Barton was rendered unconscious
Immediately.
Some women, who were watching,
saw Quinn draw knife. But their cries
must have stopped him and he immedi-
ately disappeared, without going further
with his deadly work. The women tele-
phoned for help, and Mr.. Barton was
taken to Dr.Waldren's Office in passing
rig. He is now resting easily and i'm
proving.
Several parties were organized inn
mediately and the woods thoroughly
searched, but up to this writing Quinn
has not been found. The citizens were
at fever heat over the brutal assault and
if Quinn had been found Saturday night
the town might have been too hot to
hold him. Sheriff Anderson of Kittson
county and Deputy Sheriff Burtou of
Pembina county have been untirng in
their efforts to secure Quinn. Sheriff
Atkinson was in on the city on Wednes-
day night.
