House, Howry Block.

After September first the Bee
Hive store will occupy all the
first floor of the Howry block. The
part that has been occupied by
the Wahpeton Music House is be-
ing fitted up for their ready to
wear garments department. The
cabinets and shelving are to be

est designs. The walls and car
pets will be in'.green.
There will be a large archway

rooms. Every department will be
enlarged and when completed

Center and Wahpeton were the

made by several other members,
notably the speech of the presi-
dent, Mr.. Taylor, upon modern
methods of making and unmaking
roads.
The president appointed several
COMMITTEES, one, of which was to
ascertain and report at the next
meeting, the manner in which
the $500 license tax is to be used
and apportioned upon the various
highways in the county.
Altogether the meeting was en-
thusiastic and harmonious and II,

to be a very large association,
with a most laudable purpose in
view.

Ainslie, at bachelor dinner in Rich

intelligence, and she is also noted for
her adroitness. Circumstance can
never confound her.
"A typical American girl, young and

man who, seated at her side, poured
forth his soul in a declaration Of love.
Suddenly the girls brow darkened.
A look Of pain overspread her face.
With queenly gesture she silenced
the love-stricken youth.
"'Wait, waltz she cried.

glow stole back into her eyes, and,
laying her hand on tho young mans
sleeve, she murmured:

Knute Nelson Of Minnesota told the

Of his letters was present at a con.
ference between himself and Senator
Nelson.
This is the first time Colonel Mul.

Senator Nelson said he had no recol.
lection Of ever having met Colonel
Mulhall.
He had NO recollection Of ever hav.
ing conversed with Colonel Mulhall in
his private office or having invited
him therein, he said.
With q satisfied smile and q hu.

Senator Nelson sat down and smiled
blandly over the committee. Then
Senator Clapp arose. The latter was
even more positive than Senator Mel
