An Attendant: The prayer meet
ing last evening at the Methodist
church was one of spiritual power.
The pastor spoke on tThe Safety of
the Righteous" A short testimony
service was held and almost every
one present took part. There were
several decisions for Christ. The
revival spirit still continues.
A K. p: If the party or parties
who permiscuously and at divers
times, borrowed from the K. P. hall,
coffee urns, pitchers, etc., would
please get consent from someone
authorized to loan them, 1t will save
both trouble and annoyance when the
K. P's. meet, which is on every
Wednesday night, and they would
not be obliged to use wash boilers,
etc., when they have entertain
ments.
Weatherman Roberts: Mr.. James
Wakeman invited MY attention to the
fact today that during the present
winter he had not heard the music
of wagon wheels in the frosty snow.
This phenomenon is caused when
heavy frost forms upon packed snow
or ice during abnormally cold wealth
er. AS this combination has not OBJ.
tanned to any great extent this win
ter, we have been deprived of this
particular class of music.
F. E. Young: In a recent letter re
ceived from the ]. v. Farwell Co., of
Chicago, the second largest whole
sale dry goods store in the country,
they state that they are glad to say
that North Dakota is in better con-
dition financially than any territory
they have. The people in that state
seem to have the money and sales
are constantly increasing. They also
state that North Dakota is the only
state in the union where this present
condition exists.
Progressive: According to the
mayor of Minot that city will spend
the coming year about 100000 on
civic improvements, this in addition
to the many things done there which
have given it the nickname of "The
Magic City" Some of our citizens
are satisfied with the old shed for a
safeguard for our fire department
and rented room for the city faith
ers and are having a fit at the bare
mention of expending $4,000
(Which some of them will never live
long enough to be called upon to
help pay back) for a city hall which
will be credit to the city.
Overheard Last Night: I was pass
ing along Main street last night and
near the corner of Sixth street,
| came up to a number of boys ranging
in age from IL to 16 years. As
passed one of the larger boys sale
impatiently: well, if anybody else
| has any money I have dollar lef
and will get three more bottles Of
beer with that" and left the crowd
going west. A moment later / pass
ed two boys at the hospital corner
who were having an alteration about
something, one of them saying in &
loud voice: "Oh, hell! I've already
spent "a for beer today, ard it's soms
of the other fellows turn to dig"
have wondered since how many o.
the parents of these boys know abou1
this class of amusement INDUCED in
4 while their children are running the
streets at night? It is also strik
ing commentary on conditions which
would permit boys of that age to buy
Intoxicating liquor.

with the present expense, with moth
