TO MISSOURI AND FRESH AIR.

Col. c. +. Andrews, a Westerner who
has not beeh East since the Civil War,
arrived here from Boonville, Mo-, OH
Thursday, and registered at the ST.
Regis. He left again for Boonville yes
terday afternoon because he could not
stand the noise and racket of the streets
in New York and yearned to hear the
tinkle of the cowbell, he explained to
the hotel clerks. He attracted the at
tention of the hotel employees by per-
sisting in walking upstairs to his room
on the ninth floor and walking down
each time. Colonel Andrews declined
to use the elevator, which was next to
his room and kept him awake all night,
he said.
New York may be the finest city in
the world, but it is too swift for ME-"
said the colonel. ~ am going back to
Boonville, where can hear the cowbells
tinkling on my farm, and inhale the
fresh air into my lungs every morning
when I get up at o'clock. shall never
come here again, hut am glad that
have seen it."--New York Times.

Clark is great admirer of Theodore
Roosevelt, although 1t is doubtful if he
and the former President ever worked
together on political proposition. He
likes Roosevelt for his energy and indus

and affection cease with startling and
sudden abruptness.
"In speech in Congress he once said:
"'It is claimed rhal Colonel Roosevelt
is better than his party. This he could
easily be without running any risk of
being translated, after the manner of
Elijah, in chariot OF fire by reason of
his goodness. But whatever his virtues,

Ora Sanford, of Kansas City, Mo-,
one of the Morgan County boys that
have more than made good in the
railway mail service left Saturday for
home after several days with his
father, Grandpa Sanford, who has suf-
fered from a broken arm, but seems
to be doing we'll now. Ora has been
laid up for 1a weeks on account of
broken bone IN his leg, caused by
boy throwing a piece of coal into
the mail car. However Ora's time
goes on just the same, because he is
wise and carries an accident policy,
yet all this does not pay for the suf-
fering and risk, but it helps, and
be ats nothing all hollow.
Uncle James Inge of Northwest
Morgan, died Feb. rst. The funeral
was largely attended.
The big sale at Hahn's Feb. rst,
was first class in every respect. The
stock sold was extra good and
brought splendid prices. The crowd
was big and liberal buyers. But the
biggest thing on the ground was the
dinner served by the ladies of Free
dom Baptist church. 1t was extra in
every respect. However it could not
have been otherwise with the ladies
of Freedom church managing it.
Horace Hunter recently took the
team and plow out to plow his moth
er's garden, but the team was little
frisky, and the little fellow was un
able to hold them. The team gave
a few jerks and the little boy wa
thrown into the barbcd wire fence
and his clothes were badly disturbed
The team then sprinted off down th'
road with the plow bouncing sfte
them. After going 2-4o gate for
half mile or more, Miss Eula Dale
hearing the racket coming up tn
road, ran out and, heroine-like
seized the mules by the bits and hell
them until Horace came up, and afte
finding the mules were not hurt, h
became very angry with them be
cause his coat was barbed wired.

A safer way to clean them is to hold

The organization of boy scouts has
progressed very rapidly, the attend
ance being from 20 to 25 boys at each
meeting, and great interest is being
shown. The boys are procuring their
uniforms, and it is expected during
this spring and summer there will be
many tramps in the country, and inn
portant work will be done in training
the boys for scout duty.
There is petition being circulated,
requesting the borough council to in
stall flight Of stairs from the edge of
the cliff down into Edgewater. This
petition has been pretty generally
signed by the people of the borough,
and though it has not been decided
just where this stairway shall come
up, it is hoped that this needed re
form will be carried through. The
stairs that formerly came up at the
foot of Grant avenue, and which were
removed by the Columbia Real Estate
people, because the borough refused
to take care Of them, keeping them in
repair, etc, were pretty generally

been training each week and have
been rendering special music each
Sunday morning. Mr.. Forringer, who
has been training these voices, has
been very much encouraged by the
splendid attendance, and the listeners
at the church appreciate greatly his
efforts.
There has been a pretty healthy
organization of Woodmen of America
established in Grantwood, who meet
regularly in the Fire Hall. This or
ganization has at each meeting init
ated a number of new members, and
it is expected that they will increase
very largely from month to month
and become a live issue in our COM
munity. Most of the prominent citi-
zens of Grantwood have either joined
or signi6ed their intention of joining,
and it is we'll to encourage any such
movement, particularly from the fact
that they can from time to time be of
material value in our civic life, when
matters Of Importance arise.
A number of Grantwood men are
interested in the new Building and
Loan Association that is being or
gained in Palisade and it is prob
able that many homes will be started

Gently awakened to the fact, that
there are a number of conditions that
are arising in our borough, that will
have to have attention if the morals
Of the borough are to be protected,
and instant action will very frequently
help to discourage promoters OF ques-
tionable entertainment. During the
month a moving picture company
hired the local Fire Hall at Columbia
avenue and the trolley, and attempted
to give exhibitions Wednesday, Fri
day and Sunday evening of the week.
A number of the men interested in
local affairs went to the Borough Hall
i'll body and succeeded in having
the license money returned and stop
ping the pictures. This is certainly
to be hoped that the same interest
will be taken by our citizens when
occasion arises in the future.
The Fortnightly Club have held
two very interesting meetings during
the month, though the first one was
not very largely attended, because of
the inclemency of the weather. The
meeting held on March 3rd, at which
Mr. Jarvis Kelly gave number Of
selections from Kipling, and DR..
Margaret Brewster rendered num-
Der of musical selection was very
we'll received, and the attendance was
the largest of the winter except that
at which Edwin Markham was the
speaker. At the first meeting Mr..
Wallace Mcdonald and John R. Frid-
lington gave a talk, on the work of
the Commercial Traveller as a bust
ness getter, and had their samples,
showing the class of goods they sold,
which resulted in very pleasant eve
ming.
The Minstral and Vaudeville Show
given by the Comedy Club, in the
Fire Hall, on Feb. 28th drew the
usual large, appreciative audience, and
the work of each individual artist was
pretty generally appreciated, and
showed that there is, without ques-
ton, some excellent talent in Grant
wood They are splendid entertainers
and we'll worth listening to. The
work of Dr. Chapman as the end
man, was brilliant and helped to re-
lieve a number of parts that would
have otherwise been very slow and
without point. 1t would seem to the
writer, however, that such a splendid
organization as the Comedy Club,
should, before giving such a show
as this, make better preparation 1t
was quite noticeable that when the
songs were sung by the individual
members that the chorus was ignor-
ant of the words, and the effect of
the full number of voices was very
largely lost There is also this criti-
cism to be made and that is the won
der on the part of a great many as to
why, when there are SO many coon
songs with melody. and which hun
dreds of people delight to hear sung,
the selections used were Of such a
soft and mushy nature. In glancing
over the programme one will note
that the class of songs that predomin~
ated were largely Of the Land Me

On the Kissing Shore" nature, and in
most of the cases the same general
trend was followed out. Mr.. Vosburg,
as interlucotor, had his hands full, in
trying to coach the songs and the
chorus, and have each one come in, in
the proper place on the programme,
This diversion largely accounted for
the fact that many times the audience
could not hear his words, and caused
the loss of the point in many of the
jokes. There were a number of
rhymes and remarks passed about
various people in the audience, that
might have been given with effect
had those who had them been able to
give them verbatum, the fact that
trying to read each piece in the par
tial light caused loss of the point as
the words could not be heard.
Altogether the entertainment was
not up to the standard adopted by the
Comedy Club and was redeemed very
largely by the final farce which closed
the evenings entertainment
The work Of Miss Thayer and Mr..
Geo Kock was splendid, in that it
showed that they had learned their
lines, and the audience greatly appre-
ciated their work. The dances of Miss
Nisch were very pretty and enjoyed
by all present.
The chowder dinner given by the
ladies of the Trinity Church on Feb
23rd, was most delightful occasion.
The dinner was very largely attended
by the people of Grantwood and the
meal was nicely served. The pleasant
social atmosphere was commented on
very largely and the ladies of the
church are to be highly commended
for the way the evening entertain
ment was carried through.
The spring election for members
Of the school board will be held soon
and it is important that each citizen
of the borough should carefully con-
slider the candidates and decide the
men best fitted for the positions on
this important board The term ex-
pires of Mr.. Larkin, Mr. Neuman and
Mr.. BlerbOhn. 1t is understood that
each of these men are candidates for
reelection and that Prof Boaz is also
a candidate. The coming year in our
school life will be a very important
one in that matters of great import
ance, will of necessity need to be
settled The opening of the new
school, and the decision of its adop-
ton in the borough as high school
will demand settlement, and the best
men possible should be selected to
deal with this question There has
already been a meeting called of the
school boards, representing the Dor
oughs of Fort Lee, Cliffside, Fairfield
and Edgewater and it is hoped that
with the opening of the fall term, the
children from there four boroughs
will find high school accommodation
with us. The present plan of send
ing our children to Englewood and
Hackensack will have to be aban-
doned, as these schools are crowded,

nellie GRANDE trial
Proceeding SLOWLY

Grand Forks, N. d., March a.
Slow progress is being made in the
preliminary examination of Miss Mel
lie Gande, the Milton nurse charged
with murder in the second degree.
The hearing is being held before
Justice Shanks at Hannah, the
change of venue applied for by the
plaintiff from Justice Templeton being
granted.
In the hearing that was commenced
about five o'clock Monday after
noon, the defense is putting up a
much stronger fight than it did In
the case of DR.. Reilly, who was
bound over recently on a charge in
connection with the same case.
The first witness on the stand was
the husband of the woman with whose
death the Milton physician was carg-
ed with being responsible, VIM. Drury.
His testimony was very much the
same as that given in the hearing Of
DR.. Reilly.
Coroner Gibson of Cavalier county
and DR.. Abbott were on the stand
Monday evening.
This Morning Gibson resumed the
stand being followed by DR.. G. F.
Ruediger of Grand Forks and by DR..
GustasOn.
Every point is being contested by
the defense, and that fact has had
tendency toward delaying the pro-
ceedings. The hearing will not be
finished till Wednesday or Thursday.
Evidence adduced has been much on
the same order as that introduced at
the Reilly hearing.
