Moorhead News
SURPRISE NORRONA
SINGING SOCIETY
LADIES PROMOTE SURPRISE
PARTY AND PRESENT SINGING
SOCIETY WITH HANDSOME SILK
BANNER TO TAKE PLACE OF
ONE LOST IN FARGo's BIG FIRE.

Today the members OF the Norrona
Singing society were pointing with
pride" to a handsome silk banner
which was presented to the society, at
a deity arranged function, in Fra
ternity hall, Moorhead, last evening,
amid the most pleasant Of auspices.
The Norrona society lost its official
banner in the big fire at Fargo some
years ago and now with the holding
Of the national sangerfest there was
general regret expressed that no move
had been made to replace the banner
which had been burned. Very quietly
the wives, sisters and aunts Of the
gentlemen of the society set about
the work of furnishing the society
with an appropriate emblem and they
decided that an appropriate time to
give one to the society was now so
that Norrona could appear in har-
mony, with it's official insignia, with
other societies talking part in the
sangerfest which opens in Fargo next
Friday, also so that it could be ready
for use in the different parades In
connection with other great gather
ings at the time of the sangerfest.
Yesterday afternoon, as Norrona
was rehearsing for the big event, this
week, the members Of the society were
invited to meet a number of their
friends at Fraternity hall in Moorhead.
Arriving at the latter place about 5
o'clock the singers were most cordially
greeted by a party of ladies and after
greetings the true meaning or the
gathering was unfolded to them.
After the members of the society
had been called to order they were
addressed by Mrs. P. s.. Caspary who
explained to them the object of their
being invited to meet the assembled
ladies and in very graciously expressed
words asked the singers to accept,
with their best wishes the handsome
silk banner which she unfolded to
their view. The quality Of the APP
plause which followed the presentation
can better be imagined than describ-
ed. The gift was suitably acknowl-
edged by o. G. Beck and he was fol-
lowed by DR.. Hagen and Lars Chris
Hanson who made remarks perfectly in
accord with the happy occasion. A
service Of light refreshments followed
and there was the rendition of a num-
Der OF songs the spirit of which were
perfectly appropriate.
The banner is Of white silk with
royal blue and gold trimmings. The
inscription in gold reads, "Norrona,
Moorhead, MIMI Above the inscrip-
ton is a facsimile of the royal coal
of arms of Norway, a lion carrying an
axe. Underneath is a harp in gold,
surrounded with a wreath Of oak
leaves and acorns. The banner, which
is heavily fringed with gold Bullion
fringe, is suitably mounted On a pol
ished pole SO that it can be coven-
iently carried in parade and festival
occasions.

Franchise for Construction of
Interurban Trolley Line.

AS far as the village OF Dilworth is
concerned the way for the construction
Of the first ~interurban line from Fargo

a day or two g proper action was
taken for the granting Of a franchise

way Co., which permits the building
Of an extension of the lines to Dill
worth. All that remains to be done
now is the completion of some right
Of way agreements and it is expected
that those formalities will be COM
pleted in the course of a very short
time.
Manager Hubbard of the railway
company says the new lines will be
built by their own force of experts
and track men and it is the intention
to have the best Of roadbed and equip
ment. The company hopes to have
the road ready for operation by Sept.
l at the latest. Cars will make a

h07m
Under party law and good principles it
was the duty of Mr. West to have worked
and voted for J. j. Brown, as long as there
was a reasonable hope for his nomination.
All right thinking men will agree to that.
And Mr.. West had no right to object to
fair criticism Of his public conduct. =
Feebly endeavoring to defend his treachery
at Macon, Mr.. West refers to the fact that I
urged the Underwood delegates to vote for
Champ Clark, in th6>Baltimore convention.
If Mr.. John T. West had worked and
voted for J. j. Brown, night and day, for
nearly q aoeeh, as the Underwood men had
done, BEFORE I sent those kilograms, his
quit trying to nominate Brown.
I urged that the Georgia delegation in
Baltimore should go to old Champ Clark, of
Missouri, on Monday morning Of the SEC
OND WEEK Of the Convention.
Champ Clark had a clear majority of all
the Votes IN the Convention, and was emit
tied to the nomination.
Underwood had been balloted for, day after
day and night after night; and had never
developed more than 80 odd votes, whereas,
Clark had 546.
I thought it was unreasonable to expect
the 546 to go to the 80.
Mr.. West says I'm bolter.
[ would rather be boiler than a traitor.
Benn Hill was bolter and so were Alex
ander II. Stephens and Robert Toombs.
All the Southern men who withdrew from
Congress in 1860 were boilers.
Such men as Lee, Longstreet, jackson,
Johnston and others who withdrew from the
y. S. Army, and became Generals Of the Con-
federacly, were boilers.
John Wesley was a bolter.
Martin Luther was boiler.
After thinking the matter over, [ believe
I had Just as soon be caught In the company
of these illustrious seceders and boilers, as in
that Of Mr.. John T. West and Mr.. Julian
ROvd
