new senators and their families to
the White House for dinner.
Although the president had already
met the new members in a formal
way when they called to pay their
respects personal acquaintance was
thought necessary for smooth sailing

ent's program.
The dinner was held in the state
dining room. The marine band fur
is fond of entertaining and the late
spring will probably be marked by
a number of such affairs.

IMPEACHMENT.

The Cowan impeachment is moving
slowly along at a cost of about $4,000
a day. About all that has been develop
ed. with most of the testimony all in on
both sides, Is that somewhere about
3 hundred citizens of all grades of
business and social circles testify pos
itively that they saw Judge Cowan at
different dates drunk and more or less
disorderly, while another hundred
witnesses swear that they saw his
honor on the same dates and he was as
sober as judge-ought to be.
With so many witnesses swearing so
absolutely to an opposite state of facts
it would be hard for even an ordinary
jury to make up their minds as to the
truth. It is of no use to say that these
witnesses are liars and testifying either
because Of enmity or friendship. There
are too many of them, and at least some
of them are honorable men-or else
there are no honorable men. The ex
planation Of the contradictory testimony

whiskey, but said he would feed them

waited for the day with great deal of
apprehension, but every man came but
one and he sent his excuse, and whereas
heretofore it took two days to raise and
finish a barn ours was completed by
four o'clock the first day and the men
enjoyed themselves at games till supper
was ready. This was the first bee ever
held in that part of the country at
which no whiskey was used, and l am
pleased to say it was not the last.
We threshed our wheat in those days
with the fail and winnowed it between
the doors of the barn. We had no
money to buy tanning ,uill, and when
we could not pay for what we needed
we did without. We lived off the farm.

It is of one of these that we speak at
this time. Captain James Thomson of
Bowesmont after siege of several
months gave up. last week and again
emigrated, for the last time, to that
other land where the prairies are always
green.
We have already here written his
life history in this country. For he was
one of those and one of the leaders and
one of the best of those that began
things for us so wisely and SO we'll.
l.. Personally he was mentally strong, of
decided opinions; Of pure character,
with "a strong religious temperament,
natural leader, and withal of a most
genial disposition. He was one who
loved children and whom the children
loNed-and: the children know.
Following farming here for many
years, he alsooccupied public positions
of note, and in the later years has
divided his time between California and
Bowesmont.
We published in this Issue copy of
a little pamphlet that was written by
himself. While but brief the seader
can discover "between the iues'' very
much more about Capt. Thomssa and
his training and what that trsining
would do and did for his after Lie, than
columns that we might write.
The writer feels personal loss ia the
death Of this good man whom We have
known quate intimately ever since We
welcomed. him to Pembina county
in 1881
Four soos survive q loving father,
James C. who Lives in Montana, Geoege
who resides il California and Herbert
and Oscar who are in business at
Bowesmont. Capt. Thomson's wife
died in 1889.
Thus the circle OF the pioneers
become smaller and smaller as the pears
roll around, but another circle grows
larger in the new country where they
have become citizens of the Great King.

The Tomsoa's.
BY CAPT. Jas. THOMSON.

In tracing our family history I am
constrained to 60 back to the year 1867,
when Robert Leak, An ancestor, was
born in Carlisleampsie, Scotland. He
became q Commissssy- General in the
British army and served in America.
During his stay there he appears to
have invested his savings in lands in the
city Of New York and IL the state Of
Delaware. He married Agnes Wilson,
BY whom he had three sons, Robert,
James and George. James never
married, George had NO issue, and
Roberts two children died, SO the
Commissary had no direct heirs. He
had brother, George Leak, in the
parish of Calder, Scotland, to whom the
estate came. The said George was
twice married and by the second
marriage hsd daughter named Jean,
who married William Thomson, thus
bringing our family into line for the
Leak estate. The issue Of William
Thomson was William. James (ny
grandfatherl George and Janet The
Commisssry died and was buried in
the village Of Colder, Scotland. Before
his death he made q will but never
signed it, 60 that naturally his brother
George succeeded, and through Jean
his daughter, who married William
Thomson, We with others claim the
property left BY Robert Leak.
In the year lSlO James Thomson (my
grandfather), accompanied by his son
Robert, took passagd for America, in
order to look after onr interest Ia the
estate. Arriving at New York he
engaged lawyer named Crombie
Upon presentation Of said claim the

appointed q committee to investigate

Thirty odd gears ago, along in the
years 10, 80. al and 'S2 the county Of
Pembina vas first settled by real
farmers. IA few'came before that and
many came after, but that series Of
years marked the real beginning Of
sthis county.
These settlers were almost entirely of
Canadian origin and mostly from
Ontario. The arshlings Of these. nearly

homes in Manitota. But at that time
it was necessary for them to pass
through the Red river valley by tho
water route which eame them opportus-

which they were very favorably inn
pressed. A few made ap their minds to

most Of them pursued their journey.

ways more favorable than in that
province returned and took up home
steads. Later ones were attracted by
letters from these and as Q result in q
few years the North Dakota side of the
Red river uas settled by these Ontario
men. Ir, many respects these men
from Ontario were like the Pilgrims
that came to New England. The
school house and the church were
almost consecutive with the building
Of their own humble homes.
They had their hardships with which
to contend. Flood years and drouth
years came with years Of plenty and
they remained to raise wheat in varying
quantities and at varying prices. but In
the meantime the children were born
and trained to become the present
citizens Of whom We are oil so proud.
That is but . brief outline Of the
beginning, and only hint Of the
present. It is both long and short
story, great in accomplishment though
brief in time.
That was thirty years ago. Those

LOS ANGELES, Nov. e3.-Mrs.
Lucius Hopkins Smith, dainty Paris
ian widow. twenty-seven years old.
registered at a hotel here, came to
this country four months ago to- pay
a last tribute to her late husband.
Since then she has received eighty
eight offers to wed. The proposals
come from clerks. business men, farm
hands and playwrights, and were by
letter, by telephone, by telegram and

Mrs. Smiths husband, wealthy cot
ton broker OF New York. died five
months ago. She receives one-third
of the estate and was appointed ad
ministratrix. Her adopted daughter
Ruth Hopkins Smith. is claimant to
the other two-thirds.
