taken up by games, then the young
people were invited to the kitchen
where they reveled in the joys of a
jolly old-fashioned taffy pull.
About midnight. light refreshments
were served after which the company
parted.

events Of the season, and each vote d

Some New BuiIdines.

1t is just one month last Sunday since
.Oakes had her big fire, but things are
already well under way for recon-
struction. The brick work on the Ken
nedy block has been completed and will
be finished during the winter. The
way that Contractor Westergard has
put together the bricks on the building
shows him to be a man who can do
things. He contracted to have the
building enclosed by Dec. 10th. or to
forfeit $50, Mr.. Kennedy agreeing to
pay him that amount over the contract
price for the delivery of the goods.
The goods are delivered away ahead of
time. Of course the contractor had to
figure for bad weather, but none of
that kind of winter appears to be on
the slate for this winter.
Architect Gillespie, of the firm of
Haxby & Gillespie of Fargo, was in the
city Friday, exhibiting plans for the
New Argyle Hotel and the Young
block adjoining. Messrs. Huffman
and Young will build together, the
structure as at present planned to be
Is feet in front and 100 feet deep, of
three stories with full basement. Mr..
Young would use the lower floor of his
block for his drug store and the hotel
the rooms overhead. The hotel will
contain fifty rooms, each one nicely
lighted and modern appliances through
out. The lobby and other rooms on
the ground floor will be large and
commodious, and room for a barber
shop in the corner of the basement.
The building unfurnished, will cost
about $35, 600.

Rorapaugh Loses Foot.

E. E. Rorapaugh underwent an oper-
alton Thursday afternoon at the Dea-
coness hospital at Grand Forks for the
amputation Of his left foot. The foot
was amputated between the ankle and
knee. Mr.. Rorapaugh rallied nicely
after the operation and it was an
nounced that he was getting along
as well as could be expected. The
amputation Of his foot was made neces-
sary by reason of blood poisoning caused
by stepping on nail. Friends of Mr..
Rorapaugh from all sections of the
state will regret to learn of his mis-
fortune.

THE VALUE OF AN IDEAL.
Dean Curtis on the Chicago international
Stock Show.

Dean Curtis on the Chicago international
Stock Show.
At the first or second show of the In
ternational Live Stock Exposition, a
young farmer from Iowa was attracted
by an exhibit of improved corn. The
uniformity and excellence of the pro-
duct appealed to the eye and the words
of the young man in charge of the
booth kept ringing in the farmers
ears. He resolved to test the merits
of improved blood in seed corn. He
purchased bushel of the best corn he
could buy, at what seemed like long
price. Then he prevailed ON a success
full and reliable corn breeder to let him
have ten ears Of his choicest corn at a
still higher price. He took this corn
home to his Iowa farm and went to
work to reproduce it and make it better.
He gave it close attention for several
years. Last winter he came to the
short course at Ames with an exhibit
Of corn and won the grand champion
ship for single ear. The ear of corn
was pronounced the most perfect that
had ever been seen. It sold at public
auction for $3.50, rate of S, 1000 a
bushel. This ear in corn competition
was as outstanding as young Abbots-
burn in Shorthorn excellence. It was
not a freak or an accident. The same
exhibitor, the same year, produced
two other ears, each good enough for
grand championship, with the first out
of the way. This young farmer, who
got his inspiration and higher ideals at
the International Live Stock Exposition,
has sold seed corn to hundreds of
farmers in Iowa and adjoining states,
a number of whom have been winners
at prominent shows.
This is single instance of the value
of a higher ideal in agriculture. There
are hundreds of similar cases at each
recurrence of the International Live
Stock Exposition, though the results
may not be as striking as in this case.
When John Ruskin, the great creator
OF higher art and ideals, was a boy, he
often accompanied his father on his
travels. In visiting the great art gal
leries the father always preceded him
and selected the pictures representing
the higher types Of art and took care
that the son did not see those of in
ferior grade. The father was molding
the sons mental conceptions to higher
ideals in art. The result was that Rus
kin became the master mind of his time
in his chosen field.
The International Live Stock Exposi-
tion affords the same high ideals in
agriculture. Its value from year to
year to this, the greatest creative in
dustry known to man, cannot be meas
ured or fully estimated. Its lessons
become more potent, more practical
and more imperative with each succeed
ing year. &C. F. Curtiss.

Consolidation Not Even COnsid=
cred.
GCourier-J Journal. I

j. c. Monteith, vice-president Of the
Central Home Telephone Company,
said yesterday that there was absolute
ly no truth IN the report that a deal
was on whereby the Bell Telephone
Company had acquired or would acquire
the Independent telephone interests in
Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, and
Southern Indiana. This report was
published several days ago that such a
deal was on and that it was likely that
the Independent and Cumberland com
pdnles of this city would be consolidat-
ed. Mr.. Monteith said that there was
absolutely no truth in the report and
that there was no foundation whatever
upon which to base such a report.
No negotiations of any kind have
been entered into" said Mr.. Monteith.
The report that such a deal was on
doubtless originated from some unin-
formed person, who, hearing that the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company had sold $40, 900, 900 of its
bonds recently, did not know that the
bulk Of that sale was necessary for
the payment of notes issued two years
ago by hiatt company and payable May
/. The statement, which originated in
New York, is prepOsterous on its face
for the reason that it would be impossi-
bic to acquire the independent interests
in such a short time even, if it were
contemplated. Moreover, it is not like
ly that Frederick P. Fish would have
contaminated any such deal upon the
eve of his retirement. from Office May
l, he having resigned as president, di-
rector and member Of the Executive
Committee of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company. He was sue
ceeded by Theodore nj. Vail.
The whole story is a fabrication
from beginning to end," continued Mr..
Monteith, ''as far DIS the independent
interest in the territory mentioned is
concerned. However, the Central
Union Telephone Copmany, the Bell
Company operating in Indiana, has Of
fered to withdraw all OF its local ex-
changes from that State, excepting pos
sibly Indianapolis, provided the indie
pendent telephone exchanges through
out the Estate would permit the Bell
Company TO connect their wires with
the independent exchanges and give
them just such long distance business
as could not be handled by the indepen-
dents for points that the Independents
do not now reach, such as New York,
Boston, Denver and New Orleans
Mr.. Monteith added that this propo-
sitiOn had never received favorable
consideration from the Independents.

An Ex=Bourbon Wins Law Suit.

In the suit of C. L. SalIee, executor
of George S. Rosser, against John w.
Boulden. trustee, and others, in the
Mason Circuit Court, Judge Harbeson
decided for the defendants Friday and
dismissed the plaintiffs petition.
The suit involved government bonds
amounting to two thousand dollars,
which were placed by Mr.. Rosser, a
short time prior to his death, in care
Of Mr.. Boulder, with directions to
deliver them after his (Mr. Rosser's)
death as follows:
One bond of 81, 900 to M. z. McKellup
and d. N. PEBBLES, one of $500 to
DeKalb Lodge. l. 0. o. F., and one Of
$500 to Mrs. Fannie Wilkinson of Kinks
vile, Missouri.
Mr.. Sallee, as executor, brought suit
to recover possession of these bonds,
alleging that, at the time they were
given to Mr.. Boulder, Mr.. Rosser did
not possess testamentary capacity and
was susceptible to the influence of
designing persons.
The courts opinion is that Mr.. Res-
ser had testamentary capacity and
was not unduly influenced and the
parties above named, for whom he
placed the bonds with Mr.. Boulder,
are entitled to same and to recover
costs of the suit.
