The North Dakota Dairymen's asso

were they with the results of the con.
vention to both visitors and entertain.
ers that movement was put on foot

winter, and if possible make q dairy
meeting an annual event for Bis
marck. the same as the grain growers
Is Of Fargo.
The coming together once year
of pominent producers and manufac-
turers of dairy products would give q
wonderful stimulus to development
along dairy lines and encourage, ON
the Slope, what it already has rep
utation for-diversif1ed agriculture.
Whether such a meeting will be-
come an annual event or not. will de-
pend largely on the interest shown
by the farmers. " =.

are the: dates for the convention and
the list of speakers contains the

With There is now no question but that

that q reward for the arrest Of thieves
was hung up, gave his companions
away. q D.
The story runs that after the ar.
rest and restoration to freedom of the
boys a gathering of the clan was
called and as a result of the council
Young Buckmeier was accused of
!"peaching" on his pals. He was
sought and chased by two Of the boys
who were armed with small rifles,
and, not heading the command to
stop and throw up his hands, his flight
was accelerated with volley or two.
Away into the willows he was chased
without avail and the pursuit was
abandoned.
Nat appearing at home, the story
as: above is said to have leaked out,
and search instituted for the scared
lad, but at q late hour last night it
could not be Termed whether the quest
was successful.
= During the past year a great many
petty robberies have been reported by
that reward for the arrest of thieves
seemingly being partial to the freight
depots and cars. but until now no
clue as to the perpetrators has been
obtained. 1t may; or may not have
been the boys Of the town who were
guilty Of these 3thefts, and may be
that these boys are innocent {of the
charge preferred, but when 1t is al
matter: Of common knowledge that
many parents allow their young child
ren<to run. the streets. at all hours of
the night-as can be seen by anyone
out iate-it. Is q fair presumption that
the boys are not learning the things
taught in the Sunday schools.
! Nor; IS this night .prowling confined
to boys Of tender age. Almost any
night one can see boys from Is to- 1S
around the streets and res
taurants after midnight, and not un.
frequently they are Intoxicated. Un.

 The cotIlion was led by Jack $. Lanaford and lady, Miss Josie Haiz flip, and Newt Maer and lady, Miss Mary Geisreiter. The grand march was one of the most attractive feat ures of the cotillion. The couples |entered the soft lighted ball room each carrying a Japanese lantern on la wand. Different figures were ex- ecuted concluding with the general introduction of couples. The intricate figures of the cotil- Ilion were gracefully carried out. An orchestra of eight musicians furnish ed the music from the balcony. The favors were exquisite, those of the ladies being dainty caps, aprons, sewing baskets, toothpick holders, jewel cases, horns, silver shoes, pin cushions, butterflies and sets of gold !pins. The ladies favored the men with small steins, pen holders, brush holders, gold stick pins and other dainty gifts.
 At the reasonable hour delicious

 full social events of the present social
 season and will long be remembered
 by those who were fortunate enough
 to be present.
