TWO HUNDRED HEAR LECTURE

Three was an audience of upwar ds
two hundred present Friday evening
at the Methodist church when DR..
Karl r. Stolz of the Wesley college
at Grand Forks delivered his lecture,
1.-The Case for Germany" What the
lecturer had to say made strong case
from the view point of the German
people as to the position of that
nation in the Old World war and as
DR.. Stolz progressed and became
warmed up with the topic there was
manifest an eloquence and evidence
of knowledge of facts that went to
demonstrate that the speaker was in
thorough earnest and convinced of the
right and truth of the facts which he
presented in such logical and we'll
arranged manner. The lecturer came
here under the auspices of the mems
bible class of the Methodist church
and it is stated that the class are now
on the look out for speaker whom
they can secure to come here and
give Langdon audience the other
side of this topic of world wide in

KNEESHAW HEARS FROM ALASKA

Judge Kneeshaw has within short
time since received the news from a
party in Alaska of the death of C. H.
BarnwalI, who back in 1887 was
associated in practice with Mr.. Knee
shaw as an attorney. Later Mr.. Barn.
wall left Pembina, going to St. Paul,
where he became manager of the Ct.
Northern Navigation Company's head
office. 1t was during the rush to the
Klcndyke gold fields that he went to
the far northwest, and has practically
spent the entire time since in Alaska.
The letter which Judge Kneeshaw
received stated that Mr.. Barnwall's
death followed after an exposure in a
boat wreck, that had precipitated the
occupants of the boat into freezing
water. All of the occupants of the
boat are reported to have perished as
a result Of their exposure to the cold
after the wrecking of the boat.

IT DOES NOT APPLY TO LANGDoN

The Democrat is in receipt of a
signed article, entitled "a Word
from the North Dakota Enforcement
League from G.. w. Finwall, the
leagues assistant superintendent,
which owing to the amount of other
matter the paper is unable to find
space for this week. The article has
to do with much of which Mr.. Fin
wall spoke at length at the court
house last Wednesday evening, such
as the observance of the Sunday clos
ing laws and the states restrictions
on Intoxicating liquors. Both are
topics on which people of North Da-
kota have personal knowledge dating G
back over the past two decades since
statehood and which here in Langdon
seem to be given as close an observ-
ance as in any one section of the
state. Coming down to plain state
ment of brass tacks it would be un-
charitable and Ediametrically opposed
to Langdon's best interests for less
radical idea of community welfare to
be adopted than is at present in
vogue. We have both county and
municipal authorities who endorse the
claim that our Langdon of today is as
law abiding and clean living a COM
munity, as can be found in the whole
state.

LANGDON HOME ENTERED
BY DEATHS ANGEL FRIDAY
Ralph, Eldest Son of Attorney Price
Succumos to Operation Under
gone for Appendicitis

The death of Ralph Price, aged
eleven years and the eldest son of
Attorney and Mrs. Geo. M. Price,
occurred Friday evening", February
Bird, at the family home in this city.
The end came within twenty-four
hours of an operation it was found
necessary to perform as the one re-
naming chance to ward off the
threatening fatal termination of an
acute attack of appendicitis. The
operation relieved the condition of the
sufferer, but also showed that nothing
within the bounds of medical know
ledge could prolong the little fellows 8
life further than another twentyfour
hours. He had been i'll barely a
week and only during a portion of
that time had he been confined to his
| bed. UP to the time that an opera
tion was found to be imperative no
fatal termination was anticipated
either by the family or friends. The
news that Ralph" was gone pro-
foundly affected many of the home
circles of Langdon, as by young and
old the little fellow with his manly
ways was generally beloved and many
pleasant memories will linger for
some time among those with whom he
was more intimately acquainted.
Thelattendance at the funnral held
Monday forenoon at St. Alphonsus
church was largely attended by people
of the whole community, who sought
by their presence to manifest their
sympathy for the family. The fifth,
sixth and seventh grade pupils of the
city schools, accompanied by their
teachers and Supt. Kuhnes, attended
in a body. Flowers beautiful and
typical of the young life that had 50
quickly passed away almost entirely
covered the white draped casket.
Following the service at the church
the remains were given temporary
resting place in the receiving vault at
Lebanon cemetery until spring, when
they will be transferred to the family
lot in Calvary cemetery.

DOCTOR MUGAN DIES QUITE
SUDDENLY AT BATTLEFORD
Former Well Known Langdon Ply
sician Died on Saturday After
Illness of Few Hours

The announcement of the death of
DR.. j. }. Mugap, at Battleford,
Sask., which reached Langdon on
Sunday at noon came with unexpected
suddenness and as severe shock to
the entire community. The day pre-
vious Attorney and Mrs. G. M. Price
had received in telegram from the
Mugan's, message extending SYM
pathy and coincidence occasioned by
the death of their son, Ralph. In
the message the doctor stated that
Mrs. Mugan would come to Langdon
except for the snow blocked condition
of railroad travel. AS the news Of
DR.. Mugan's death which reached
here Sunday about noon had been
delayed in transit it is evident he
died within few hours of sending
the message. Details by mail have
not yet reached here but it is feared
that disease of the kidneys known
as urinic poisoning is the cause that
brought his life to such a sudden
termination. DR.. Mugan is thought
to have suspected that symptoms of
urinic poisoning had lately developed
and after consultation with other
doctors was at the time attempting to
check the disease that overshadowed
his life. Up to leaving Langdon
about two years ago, DR.. Mugan and
Mrs. Mugan and their family were
residents here and took with them
the best wishes of all our people who
will most heartily sympathize with
Mrs. Mugan and children in their
most sad visitation of aff1iction.

NON-PARTISAN LEAGUE
HOLD A MEETING HERE
Attendance Would Indicate That the League
Has Quite Local Following

The meeting of the North Dakota
non-partisan league held Friday after
noon in Langdon at the Electric theatre
aroused sufficient local interest to
insure the attendance of somewhere
about one hundred farmers residing
in the vicinity of Langdon, quite a
number whom had already a league
membership. The meeting was ad-
dressed by j. Arthur Williams, one
OF the leagues state organizers, and
many OF those who heard the talk
agreed that it was a very sensible
one, some even expressing surprise
at the conservativeness of the
speaker. There had been an opinion
formed by some that league organiz-
ers were sent over the state to abuse
and condemn present business methods
and without reason or cause asking
for their change. MIR. Williams,
however, did not speak in a vindictive
manner abusing any individual or
party of men, but mainly confne d
himself to urging that farmers should
be organized. 1t was a good meet
ing, locally the league has some level
headed progressive farmers as men,
bers, and the non partisan league has
grown beyond the size where ridicule
cuts any figure.

FARMERS CONVENTION
MORE THAN 4 SUCCESS SUCCESS

Langdon y lady visitors to the farm
ers convention adopted before ad-
journing to note the appreciation they
feel of the way they were entertained
by their hospitable hostesses, the
women of Langdon.
The annual banquet and entertain
ment held at the Opera House
Tuesday evening, the program in the
auditorium upstairs and the banquet
in the basement can be properly
termed the crowning feature of sue
cess of the three days convention.
Upwards of three hundred and fifty
were in the Opera House to hear a
program that continued from eight
until eleven o'clock. DR.. V. O.
Cudd. of Kansas City, who gave four
lectures and demonstrations during
the convention was the star feature
on Tuesday evenings program, he
gave steroptican talk on, "The
Fight Worth While to Men. - 1t
was a talk for men only and what
was said and shown to the the three
hundred and fifty men in the audience
is something for them to think about
and remember as long as they live.
The Langdon band did a generous
share in the good time that was doing
all night. Other interesting features
were wrestling bout between Claud
Skinner and Willim Delvo, in which
the latter won in two straight falls.
There were half a dozen reels of
moving picture films, showing, .'The
Practical Use of Concrete on the
Farm, - views of the North Dakota
state fair and comic sketches of
Charlie Chaplin, ETC. Not to be out
done by the Langdon band, Doc Nc
Mahon of Calvin with his "bones'
and violin accompaniment by Alex
Hamilton brought down the house
with the rendition of, "Turkey in the
Straw Another number that help
ed whet the appetite for more of local
talent performers was the instrument
tai selections on his Swiss ACCORDION
by Fred Alpstag. To sum up nothing
could have been better appreciated
than the effort Tuesday evening to
solve the problem of pleasing each
and all of the hundreds of convention
visitors here.
Credit for the excellent success
which attended the farmers conven-
tion of this year is due in a large
measure to the unstinted work that
had been done ahead by Profs. J.
w. Haw and TIL. T. Kristjansen, of
the better farming association, who
along with Manager E. d. Stewart of

of the work and carried it out so

The plans for the entertainment of
