whether the show was any good. He
laughed when he bought the tickets.
As the farmer He didn't worry
about the rain coming through the

energy. George. The cat showed up
the next night with all his hair. two
ears four paws, and tail. lie got

A Jolly Lot of Visitors.

A jolly lot Of farmers visited the
Independent Office in body this morn
ing and when the editor saw them
swooping down upon him, he was in
clined to take to the tall timber There
were just six Of them and they all
paid their subscriptions before leav-
ing, 1--WE locked the door on them) and
would not leave until we had promised
to pay each one of them visit the
coming summer. (Here is where the
high cost of living will be reduced).
They are all prosperous farmers and
they told US that they have been fair
ly sleeping on money this winter. The
party comprised A. C. Biorn, A. j..
Anderson, C. E. Torgrimson, L. M.
Larson, M. O. Ofsthum and Andrew
Egeberg. Larson raised 300 acres
of wheat last season that averaged 80
bushels per acre and he declares that
Torgrimson, who did the threshing,
did such clean job that his cattle
are all growing fat eating straw. A..
J. Anderson reported that he and his
friends had just visited the office of
the states attorney, where they Of
fered their services gratis, any time
he wanted any of the confscated am
Der fluid destroyed for the county. An
derson declares he has 5 wagons and
three sleighs, and he will gladly save
the county drayage charges. They are
all good scouts and our latchstring
will always hang on the outside for
them.

OF RECORDS AND SEALS - A
LARGE NUMBER ATTEND THE
MEETING.

Fully three hundred members of the
Knights of Pythias lodges of Minot
and vicinity attended the greatest
meeting Of it's kind ever held in this
section Of North Dakota, when 80 can
didates received the rank of Page on
the original Judge Henry Rathbone
Bible. The degree was conferred by
Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal
Wheaton, who stated that he had con-
ferred this degree under similar con-
ditions, al different times and that
this time was the first time every can
didate elected had been present. This
Bible was used when the order was
founded in February, 1864. There
were 13 charter members, only one be-
ing alive today. Mr.. Wheaton gave
an interesting address during the ev-
ening, referring to the prosperity of
the lodges thruout the Domain.
