THE LADIES ENTERTAIN.

At the annual supper given
by the Ladies of the Congrega-
tional Ladies Aid Society to
their husbands at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Divet last evening
there were over one hundred
present. A bountiful supper
was served to which all did am
pie justice and which included
escalloped potatoes, baked
beans, salads, pickles, cold
meats, rolls, ice cream, cake
and coffee. After supper the
gentlemen present. or some of
them were given hat frames.
needles, thread and trimmings
and they we're instructed to
trim the hats, which occasion
ed much merriment. A prize
was given to the best man mill

full hand painted card which as
near as we can remember bore
the following inscription:
behold this creation,

But l did my very best,
And you can guess the rest"
We probably haven't got the
quotation quite right but it
was "in words to that effect"
any way. The party broke up
at an early hour with many
compliments to their hosts and
the gentlemen members (by

gained sacrificing everything for per.
sonal advantage until even that has
been lest When they lost sight OF
principle and met with deserved con.
tempt. they accomplished the ruin oil
us all. Now from this time on. if pub
licity can stop duplicity the Statesman
assures the public their regime is at
an end. and the matter of fair repre-.
sentatlOn for colored Republicans is up
to the ofliceholders.
A full vote from the colored people
would swell Republican totals by
1900. 1t is gross ignorance or foolish
ness TO estimate lower than that the
stay-ai home Negro vote. The futility
OF voting under continued neglect OF
both their interests and the principles
involved, has driven Negroes out of
politics. To restore confidence in the
party, to get out this vote and make
Republican victory sure. assurances
of proper treatment should be given in
time. This can be done. We can be
made TO feel that we are as welcome
after the victory is won as when the
battle Is still to be fought. We are
not such tyros as to believe that the
county nominees are not making
pledges before election. We have not
been deceived as to the real intent
when the excuse is urged that the ap,
preparation is not large enough to per.
nit the putting on of colored help" In
short, we are expected to put up a
good fight for the party and won't hold
the sack any longer 1t Is this year
that We will put candidates on record
and it will be pay day next time II they
don't keep Faith and deal as we de.
serve. The good citizens must make
1t plain that no excuses based upon the
unworthiness of shyster Negro politl.
clans will suffice. The same standards
prevail among us as them and whites
are too good judges of human nature
TO thinn that we are led BY drunkards
or idlcrs or $50 Il month ignoramuses.
a Gear understanding can do much
good and will add strength to the
whole ticket this year and for all time.
II is TO the advantage Of the candidate
as well as the colored voters. In no
spiri. Of vengeance for the past, but of
wise provision for the future. We state
the case plainly and assert that the In.
torests of our people demand attention
from the best men among us.

RAILROAD is TO
MOVE VILLAGE
Northern Pacific Will Change the
Site of Winnipeg junction
One Mile

The Northern Pacific railroad
will move the town of Winnipeg
Junction one mile from it's pres
ent location. This was decided
after a meeting held by the rail.
road commissioners and the resi-
dents of the town.
The citizens filed a protest with
the state railroad and warehouse
commission against the removal
of the Northern Pacific depot at
that place.
The railroad intended to move
it's depot one mile from it's pres
ent location on account of it's
present grade. The commission
held meeting with the railroad
officials and the company decided
to settle the whole matter by
moving the town with the depot.
The town has about 40 build
ings in it and $50 inhabitants.
The railroad will give the present
property holders lots on the new
location for the ones they now
hold.

It was in this mode that Weary
Willie McGinnis accompanied by
an individual as WayWorn and
weary as himself, if not more so,
drifted into the Carman police

up by a colored tramp some
where in the neighborhood of the
Carman yards late last night.
"We was takin' a dream in one of

ing the nature Of the transaction
to the police officers.
"Did he get anything! Huh, I

broad: self-satisfied smile. Gus
guys don't carry no ready cash,
it's all in drafts" ...
The police thought that the
gentlemen of leisure we're a little
wrong but the persistency of
them convinced the force that
something had been doing. This
morning the fact became evident
when weighmaster German OF
the Carman yards stated that he
had been held up by negro near
his position near the scales.
From the description of the
tramps the negro had only one
eye, wore a stiff hat and a
starched shirt.
The police were trying to To-
cate the negro this morning but
he in all probability got away on

tributing point for fine cigars
has been greatly advanced by
the coming of John 3. Stevens
and Berton Lewis, who have es-
tablished their factory on the
corner of Beltrami avenue and
Third street.
These gentlemen came to the
city but recently and have al
ready built upa prosperous bust
ness. They have moved their
families here and intend to stay
and make this city their home.
Stevens and Lewis are hustlers
and indications point most
strongly to their success.
Their leading brand is the
famous I'M. & NJ" ten cent
cigar, which has been having
such a run in Bemidji and other
northern Minnesota cities.
