The birthday of the Ireland's patron

to a program both lyrical and orators
cal, a program essentially appropriate
to the birthday of st. Patrick.
Father Conaty delivered masterful
address in his usual style and was
followed by song and recitation by
some of the best talent in the city.
Miss Duffess sang the old song "Kil-
larney" in very pretty manner, fol-
lowed by Miss Agnes DeRoche who
favored the audience. with "The Last
Rose of Summer" Cleary Monley re-

WORK WILL Be RESUMED
The Aneta.Devils Lake Extension OF
the Great Northern to BE Com.
pleted This Year.

Preparations are being made to re-
sumo work on the Aneta-Devils Lake
extension of the Great Northern. Rails
on this extension wero laid to within
ten miles OF Devils Lake before the
cold weather set in last fall. During
the winter no attempt was made to run
trains beyond Aneta and the new part
of the line became completely blocked
with snow. A snow bucking outfit and
$50 laborers are now at work clearing
the line. In some places the snow is
piled to a depth of from twelve to
fifteen feet while in others it is frozen
to the track and mingled with ice, so
that 1t is necessary to use picks to
clear it away. Progress is slow but
1t is believed the line will be cleared
as far as the rails have been laid with
in short time, and the work of track
construction will be resumed.

THE SNOW PL0W D|TCHED
Great Northern Crew Narrowly Miss
Being Made Subjects for the
Undertaken.

Neville, N. D., March 1S.-Superin-
tendent McKinnon and a crew in
charge Of the snow pillow on the Great
Northern, narrowly escaped death
while working on clearing the extern
sion near here of snow.
A big Russell plow with two engines
and a relief train was sent out from
Aneta to clear the track and when the
outfit struck the big bridge east of this
place, the pillow jumped the track and
crossed the bridge at rate of twenty
five miles an hour. Upon reaching the
other side it struck snow drift and
was thrown over the embankment.
The two engines that followed, took
the same course and they doubled up
ON the pillow. After considerable de-
lay the engines and pillow were placed
on the track.
Superintendent McKinnon and the
train crews jumped from the pillow and
engines, saving their lives.

OTTO WEBERG TAKEN
TO PEN|TETARY
SUNDAY
Convicted Man Says He is
Sorry For Killing of
Anna Engalsrud.
THE PARTING SCENE
Between Mother and Son in
Walsh County Jail a
Pathetic One.
THE PARTING SCENE

Otto Weberg, convicted of murder
admits that he remembers of the kill
ing of Anna Engalsrud at Fairdale.
He says.he is sorry that he committed
the crime, but gives no reason for the
commission of the horrible deed.
The convicted man was in Grand
Forks Sunday evening in charge of
Sheriff Hankey of Walsh county and
Deputy Sheriff Wilson. He was
brought here on Train No. 1873 of the
Great Northern, transferred to Train
No. 10 and taken to Fargo. From there
they went to Bismarck over the Nor
thern Pacific, and on arriving there,
Weberg Will SEQ the place in
which he will spend the remainder
of his life-the penitentiary of the
state of North Dakota.
Weberg was sitting contentedly in
his seat in the smoking car of train
No. 10 when the Evening Times re-
porter saw him. He was smoking a
cigar, and seemed to take little; inter-
est in the trip. His eyes are peculiar.
He keeps looking from one place to
another, being unable, it seems, to
keep them in any one place for any
length OF time. 49,,
He wore a pair of blue overall pants,
a black coat and black shirt,
SLOUGH hat and seemed to be right at
home in the car seat. He was not
handcuffed, the two officials being with
him all the time so there was no
chance for him to make a break for
liberty.
Saturday afternoon, the aged father
and mother Of the murderer bid their
son good by in the Walsh county Jail,
where they had been admitted by
Sheriff Hankey. The scene was a
touching one, the mother being almost
Frustrated with grief. In the court
room, when the verdict was read, there
was another touching scene. Mrs.
Weberg broke down completely, al
though the convicted man seemed to
be a trifie relieved at the recommends
ton of life sentence instead of death
in the hangman's moose.
The story of Weberg's love, with
failure in the end resulting in the MUIR
der of the object of his affection, to
whom on the stand he swore that he
would do no harm knowingly, is a
sad one.
When Weberg is landed behind the
bars of the state penitentiary, the
closing scene in sensational case will
have been enacted. 1t has been a long
time since a murder trial in North
Dakota has aroused so much interest.
The details surrounding the crime
were of such sensational nature; and
the deed itself was such a cold-blooded
one, that from one end of the state to
the other, the developments in the case
were closely watched.

THE POOR EDITORS.
He Gets the Short End Of
all Situations.

A little boy Of town was given
the task by his father of writing
tan essay on editors the other day,
and the following was the result Of
his efforts:
I don't know how newspapers
come to be in the world. ! don't
think God does, for he hain't got
nothing to say about them and ed
itors in the Bible. | think the
editor is one of the missing links
you read of and stayed in the bush
es until after the flood; and then
came out and wrote the thing up
and has been here ever since. /
don't think he ever dies l never
saw a dead one and never heard of
none getting licked. Our paper is
a mighty poor un; the editor goes
without under-clothes all winter,
don't wear no socks, and paw
hahn paid his subscription in more
than five years.
If the editor makes mistake he
has to apologize for it, but if the
doctor makes mistake he buries
1t.
If the editor makes one there is
a lawsuit, swearin' and the smell
of sulphur. but if the doctor makes
one there is funeral. cut flowers
and the smell of varnish
A doctor can use a word a
yard long 'thout knowing what it
means, but if the editor uses it he
has to spell it.
If doctor goes to see another
man s wife he charges for the visit;
but if the editor goes he gets a
charge of buckslot,
When a doctor gets drunk, it's
case of overco,ne by heat. and
if he dies, it's heart trouble. !"
When ali editor gets drunk it's a
case of too much booze, and if he
dies, it a case Of delirium tremens.
Any old college can make a
doctor.
You can't make an editor, he
has to be born. '-Exchange.
