ST. CLAIR NEWS NOTES.

The people in this vicinity had
the opportunity last Thursday even
ing of witnessing very impressive
ceremonies in the ordination to the
Congregational ministry of Rev
George X. Carter, the pastor of the
Congregational church in this place
The services were opened by Rev
Edwin Ewell of Waseca by a short
address. The several hymns sung by
the choir were of rare talent for
local singers, and it showed the
fruit of hard, incessant labor, which
was especially fitting for the affair.
Rev E. l.. Heermance of MankatO
delivered an address on the recog-
milton OF the church by the Con-
gregational churches of Southern
Minnesota and also on the Welcome
to the Ministry" Professor r. c.
Dalton spoke briefly of the church
from it's humble beginning about
two years ago until the present day.

of the churches progress under the
great difficulties it had to contend
with. until now it may well be proud

While the contentious of the mem
bers of the council at the meeting
held Saturday evening are not re
garded as anything of a serious ma
ture, nevertheless it is a regretable
fact that there should be any diff
ferences that should interfere with
the transaction of the public bust
ness. 1t would seem that with a
little tact the trouble might have
plished. 1t certainly is the plain
obligation of the council to keep
the cost of the water system within
the amount appropriated. To do this
would be a very simple matter. It
is generally understood that the
length of mains laid would be gov
erned by the money available after
the balance of the plant had been
contracted for. The people have
voted the money. The plan and &C
ton taken by the council in connec.
ton with the installing of a water
system has been above criticism.
The council should allow nothing to
hinder it now in securing for North
Mankato the very best water system
possible No previous council of the
village has had on their hands as
great an undertaking as the present
council has. Good judgment, sense
and cool heads are needed. Let there
be no delay.
Tomorrow evening from five O'Clock
the primary department of the Metho-
dist Sunday school will serve ice
cream and cake on the church
lawn You will help these little
people raise their pledge to the new
church.

Ross, n. D., Mountrail County
Editor Independent:
notice an item in recent issue
Of your paper where the farmers are
advised to drag their grain, which |
think would lbe a great mistake. Our
wheat here is 30 inches high now, Mr..
Editor. Wouldn't a farmer look fool
ish driving four big horses and drag
and q man waddling along behind
with q pair Of No. IL shoes? Why, Mr..
Editor, we have three feet of mois-
cure here now. and We are having
two or three nice showers every week.
We have such good prospects for a
crop that practically all Of us went to
Minot to spend the Fourth.
Respectfully yours,

MINOT WINS CLOSE
GAME FROM BOWBELLS

The excellent base baM team from
Bowels played three games in Minot
this week. The first one, Monday ev-.
ening was won by the K. C.'s, after
seven innings of the hardest kind of
playing, 8 to 7. The battery for the
visiting team was Rice and Russell,
while White and Weagant constituted
the battery for the home boys. Bow
ellis started off with two scores in
the second inning and it looked as
though 'Minot was not going to con :
meet at all. The visitors got two more
scores in the fifth inning, but in the
sixth, the home team woke up and
ran in six scores after two men had
been put out. BoWbells scored three
times in the first half of the seventh
and Minot scored twice in the last
half giving her the game.
The visitors proved that they had
excellent batting ability and their
pitcher did fairly good work.
Allnot Outrlayed the visitors in the
field, Rush on third being especiallr
strong. He got about everything in
sight, and made one of the prettiest
catches seen on the diamond this year.
Rush throws with great speed and az

try with considerable pleasure.
Editor Gilbertson, Barton Harring-

others came down from Clenburn,
Monday, to attend the races. They
were somewhat disappointed that Mr.
