plant of his bond company and eleva-
tor company manager on the technical
charge of forgery in the second degree.

Tiny cards from Porterville, Cal to
friends in this city announce the birth
of Harriet" to Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Carr, formerly of this city on May 4th.
For the present she will be a combina-
ton sleeper and diner later in life
probably regular Pull man. A whole
train like that would beat the famous
'North Coast Limited" Congratulate
tions from many old friends here to

Fireman Glessner, who ran on the
"dinky" between Grand Forks and
Pembina was found dead in his bed al
Grand Forks las t week from asphyxia-
ton. The house being lighted by a
quarter in the-slot gas machine and
it is supposed that Mr. Glessner
fell asleep with the gas burning, that
later the supply of gas ran out, and
then some one dropped in a quarter
and started the flow again. Mr.. Gless
ner was unmarried and his father who
lives in southern state came on and
took the remains to his former home.
A welcome rain came Saturday and
continued at intervals on Sunday, and
Monday, and some more again on
Wednesday. While the ground had
plenty of moisture below the surface 1t
was getting rather dry in this locality
and for the later sown grain the mois-
ture was a great benefit. On the other
hand the general temperature still
remains rather cold with considerable
frost at night. The frosts are not cold
enough to materially injure grain and
hardy vegetables but it retarus the
general growth and has probably spoiled
the wild fruit such as plums, etc.
Early wheat is up and doing very well.
We think that irrespective of politics,
Senator McCumber will have the hearty
sympathy OF the people of this state in
his continued illness. North Dakota
statesmen seem to be peculiarly un
fortunate in health recently. Mr.
Hansbrough was ill just about the
same time approximately during his
canvass for reelection two years ago
then Senator johnson died in office
next Senator Thompson had to resig1
because of sickness, and now Senator
McCumber is seriously ill. Even ,
chivalrous foe would prefer to fight I
we'll man than to win over sick one.
