The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1908-11-20

Mr.. Newborg all winter, and
Wednesday Andrew drove to
Westhope to take the train for
Bottineau. That day shortly af-
ter noon, Fleming went to
McNaughton's barn here, where
the horse was stabbed, had the
animal hitched up, and borrow
ing robe from the barn, drove
away, presumably across the
line. Fleming had been work.
ing for Ed Schultheis, near
Maxbass, and hired out again
for the winter. Saying he need
ed five dollars to pay a store
bill, he got this much advanced
and then skipped out to Mr..
Newborg's. The horse was a
bay mare and the buggy an end
spring top buggy. Fleming is
about 22 years old and smooth
shaven. Although no clue has
been obtained, the officers are
working hard and viii soon
land him.

Scandal.
y our Special Correspondent:

BY our Special Correspondents:
Many seem 20 be wondering
how it happened that Mr..
Bowen was defeated and Weeks
elected. Is it hard to solve?
Ole Holden and John Haugen,
with their families, left for
Gudbrandsdalen, Norway,
Thursday and will leave New
York the 25th. Mr.. Haugen will
spend his future life over there.
We wish them the best of luck
on their journey.
Readers: I want you to watch
very carefully the doings Of
the next Legislature. What
are they going to do about
NJ. N. johnson, the man for the
people? If the Legislators turn
him out this time their political
coffin will be. built, and the
funeral will take place in No
vember, 1910.

MIDLAND JUBILEE SINGERS.
Next Number of Lecture Course at
Opera House December q.

The next number of the Citi-
zens' lecture course will be
the appearance at the opera
house Friday evening, Decem-
Der +, of the Midland jubilee
singers.
The company is composed Of
Willetta Campbell, soprano;
Carolyn Dixon, contralto;
Vreen Marshall, first tenor; G.
Dickerson, second tenor; Exo-
dus, baritone and reader; w. A.
Ham, basso; A. E. Shepard,
guitar and accompanist. Mr..
Ham is director and manager.
They come very highly re-:
commended and have made an
enviable reputation during the
past few years. They have fill
led hundreds of winter engage
ments and have sung at twenty
or more chautauquas each
summer.
The Bedford Oowa) Free
Press says of the Midland jubi-
lee singers: They are all fine
singers, and their voices blend
in splendid harmony. They are
high class, college people; they
do not condescend to the trashy
music SO often given by jubilee
companies, but are making a
record for the best in their line.
The company has been very
much appreciated here, grow
ing in popularity with each
appearance till the climax last
night. when they simply took
the audience by storm. Many
were the requests received for
their continuation longer with
us. They are without doubt
the best jubilee company that
ever visited Bedford, and we
have had some good ones
before. Mr.. Ham the mana
ger deserves con4ratulation
upon his fine company, both
because of their ability. and
cultured conduct. They will
be welcomed back to Bedford
at any time ..s... ......

The First Bale.

The first bale of cotton for 1905
comes early. 1t arrived at Hous-
ton, Texas, where it was sold at
auction for 81 cents. 1t was sent
to New York and there sold June
"a at 81 cents, being cIassed as
strictly good mi'!dling. 1t was
shipped to Liverpool on the Maui
retania June "a and was probably
sold at auction about June 80, or
within ten days from the day it
was received IN Houston. That
is quick work all around. We
wish the whole crop of 1908 could
be sold ut 80.

notice of the death of Mrs. Alice

resident of Hyde Park. where she
was loved and cherished by the
entire community. The funeral

iof Cincinnati. $40 miles distant.
The country traversed was largely
rolling prairie land, black loan
soil. As far as the eye could
reach were level stretches of
undulating land covered with the
yellow CLEAN of the ripened
wheat, which was being harvested,
the shocks standing like sentiuels
amid the stretches of yellow.
Corn fields were interspersed,
some of it just beginning to show
the rows and the, crop unusually
backward owing to the continued
rains which had prevented early
cultivation. 1t was noted that i'm
these fields was exhibited the
reality of the moving pictures of
improved methods of cultivation
and harvesting, displayed by DIR.
Gehee i'm his lecture here on
tuberculosis. The corn fields
were cultivated by machines,
where the farmer rode at his work.
The wheat was moved by ma
chimes that bound and threw out
the sheafs as the grain was cut.
La other portions of the broad
expanse of fields threshers were
at work separating the grain from
the straw and emptying it into
bags ready to be conveyed to some
convenient mill. In fact agricul-
ture in these western grain-grow-
ing States is almost entirely ac-
complished by improved machines
adapted to the different grains to
be cultivated. Thus one cultivator
can do the work of four or five
men with less labor and more
ease, and gather all the crops he
can raise, making better crop
and more profit than by the prim-
tive method of hard physical
labor. 1t was also noted that
special care was taken of the fruit
orchards, great areas being devot-
ed to apple orchards, which pres
ented thrifty appearance and
thorough cultivation.
The residences are neat and
attractive, with the outbuildings
and barns scarcely less attractive,
giving a picturesque appearance
to the rolling landscape scenery.
Here and there are to be seen
Touring mills, and few towns but
have some kind of manufacturing
plant.
The Wabash divides the states
of Illinois and Indiana, and at
VIncennes vas crossed at nearly
4 O'Clock p. m. In Indiana is
evidenced the same thrift, energy
and industry that were every
where displayed in Illinois. After
crossing the Trinity the country
becomes more hilly and mountain
Gus and tunnels are among the
features of the railways through
this country. Lofty hills, with
bases of rock, give at
tractive and charming views
of the landscape scenery, as the
speeding train winds it tortuous
course on the steel rails curving
along the banks of the streams
that flow through the valleys of
the lofty hills. As the approach
IS made to Cincinnati the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad skirts the
hills abutting the Big Miami,
crossing that stream near its
mouth where it empties into the
OHIO river. 1t is a beautiful and
picturesque route as seen from
he car windows and is continually
opening some fresh and attractive
picture of natures Inning to
crafty the appreciative eye that
owes to linger on scenes of natur-
II beauty and lovliness.

IMPRESSIONS FROM
NOTES OF TRAVEL
HJW Lapse Of Half a Century
Disillusions the Memory
OF the Past.

The man who is tied down t.
the routine work of life and more
or less given up to the pursuit oi
business or profession that en-
tails sedentary habits, loses sigh
of much of the wonderful progress
that the lapse of time stamps on
all material things, particularly
of natures restless activity anC
magical changes, as well as the
advancement in the intellectual
forces that have summoned the
genii of the mind to keep pace
with the requirements of an age
of remarkable development.
So dropping the routine work
of a journalistic career for brief
holiday, the writer visited the
haunts of his boyhood and early
manhood days, into the distant
State of OHIO, to resurrect some
of the fond memories connected
with the halcyon days spent at
Kenyon College, Gambler, OHIO,
more than fifty years ago. AT
that period the river steame, and
the stage coach were the avenues
of travel and days elapsed in a
journey that now can be compass
ed in 40 hours to the same deStin-
alton.
Taking the Louisiana & Arkan-
sas railroad to Hope, Ark, a
change was made to a sleeper on
the ST. Louis, Iron Mountain &
Southern. The early light of the
succeeding morn found the train
at Poplar Bluff, Mo. rushing along
peaceful valleys with cultivated
fields of corn and notified hay
fields, or through defiles of lofty
Hills with their heights abutting
in rocky cliffs above the lines of
steel rails, On al sides were the
evidences of industry and thrift
The air was clear and crisp, and
taking deep draughts of the oxy-
gen was like quaffing an exilir or
draining a full goblet of the fam
Gus Faernian WINE of the Romans
1t tingled in the lungs with
celebrating sensation. The ever
changing landscape scenery but
added to the enchantment of the
early morning destinations. Lofty
eone-shaped hills rose in success
sion of ridges, trimmed against
some white vapors in the sky,
crowned with living emerald for
e3ts, yelled with the thin BLUSH
haze that toned them with an ever
fresh beauty. Ripened wheat
fields contrasted with the deep
green corn gave an additional
attraction to the beauties of
Nature. Some distance below
st. Louis the railroad struck the
bank of the Mississippi river. then
at the crest of It's flood tide. Rum
ming at the foot of the lofty
frowning rocks that overlooked
the eddying flood of waters, the
stream could be seen for miles, a |
vast inland sea of water that flood
