making a costume, and after needles,
thread and thimbles were passed, ev-

Company 6 Smoker Brings
Out Evidence Of I'VE Want
You as a COMPANY" Spirit

\
Thursday night at the smoker" given
by the boys of Company G, when over
100 of the men of the city enjoyed one
of the most genuine social" events
held in the city for some time. The
guests were entertained by watching
the company drill from 8 to 8, and
many were surprised at the splendid
work done by the boys. Lots of the
! townspeople did not know to what
efficiency the boys had come until they
watched them that evening. From 8
to 1890 the time was spent in social
pursuits, smoking, visiting and card
playing. All that could be thought Of
to make pleasant social evening was
done. Cigars, pipes and tobacco were
furnished in quantities to satisfy the
wants of the crowd, and the spirit
of friendship seemed to increase with
the puffs from the clay paddles" That
people should carry these away as
souvenirs gives an inkling of the good
spirit and feeling that prevailed.
At 1890 mess call sounded and the
way the fellows responded showed
that they appreciated the preparation
for their wants. A substantial lunch
con was served in the G. A. R. room
by Caterer Altenburg, and duly stow
ed away. After lunch there were
| speeches by Hon. A. P. Paulson, Ma
jor Chas. F. Mudgett, Mayor l.. S. Pla-
tou and Hon. Lee Combs, the speak
ers voicing the sentiment of those
present when they told of the respect
they had for the company in their ef-
forts to perfect themselves in their
maneuvers, their tireless drilling, their
readiness to go on duty at any time
required, and that the citizens should
do all they could to assist the boys in
keeping up the company here, by sup
porting them in their financial enter
prises, giving them the time needed to
attend the meetings, drills and en-
campments. Many words of praise
were spoken and the bond between CIV
ilian and enlisted man was strength
ened as was the intention when the
smoker" was planned. The purpose
of the evening was that the fathers,
employers and business men should be
given an opportunity to become &C.
quainted with the company and it's
members; that opportunity be given to
the people of Valley City to learn of
the work that is being done by the
company, and of it's ultimate object;
that spirit of common interest be
promoted between the company and
the citizens; that the people of the
city might have it brought home to
them that Company G is their COM
pany and that it is a home institution,
entitled to unqualified and unhampered
support. The Smoker was success
socially, and broader knowledge Of
the company was spread among the
citizens and it is hoped that the feel
ing thus engendered may act as
leaven and create fuller feeling of
unity and pride in the local company.

Kathryn Elevator Is Burned
With 10000 Bushels Of Grain

Kathryn Recorder: About 1 o'clock
a. m. Wednesday the inhabitants OF
Kathryn were rudely awakened from
their peaceful slumbers by the cry of
Fire" and the wild changing of the
church bell. Rasmus Olsberg was
probably the first to discover the fire
He rang up central, from where all
who had phones were given the alarm.
Mr.. Berger was the first man to get
to the scene, being awakened by smoke
entering his bedroom. He routed our
constable, E. A. Moe, and in a short
time practically the whole male popu-
lation was at the scene.
The fire originated apparently in
the drive way of the elevator, accord
ing to those who first discovered the
fire. The driveway burned down first,
after which the wholes building was
enveloped in flames, rendering the
scene almost as light as day. About
ten minutes after the driveway had
burned away the roof burned away,
and about 2 o'clock the structure top
pied over toward the tracks. After
the elevator building fell, the coal
shed caught fire, and the two east
bins were consumed.
Right at this juncture our genial
townsman, J. C. Thoreson, rallied the
boys to attack the west end of the
coal shed with axes and sledges, and
demolished that part of the shed. This
good work checked the fire from ex-
tending to the buildings Of the An
drew's Grain Co., which were serious
ly menaced. The wind, while not
very strong, was from the north and
it was very fortunate that it was rain
ing while the fire was at it's height.
Otherwise the business portion of the
town across the street would undoubt-
eddy have burned, as the town has
absolutely no means of fighting fire
that has gained any Roadway.
Mr.. Eggen, manager of the company
had been cleaning grain all day Tues
day and closed the house for the day
at about 1880 or 500 o'colck p. m.
and went home as usual. At the time
of the fire the elevator contained about
10000 buhsels of grain. The building
was completely destroyed and the
greater part of the grain damaged.
The building and contents were fully
insured.
The directors held their regular
meeting yesterday afternoon. The
prevailing sentiment among the direc-
tors seems to favor building larger
and better elevator and in order to
bring the matter before the stock
holders of the company have called
a special stockholders meeting to be
held April 8.
The cause of the fire is unknown,
but it is thought to be caused by an
overheated bearing.

EASTER SERVICES
MOST ELABORATE
Special Music Was a Feature of the
Observation-Disclosures at st.
PauPs Church.


Special vocal and choral selections
made the Easter celebration in
Watertown a musical event.
With augmented choirs and special
soloists and the singing of psalms the
day was fitingly observed. Pastors
generally preached sermons of thanks
giving and praise, and the attendance
at the services was greatly increased
The celebration of the Lords Sup
per was general among the city
churches, and many partook of their
first communion.
At St. PauIs Episcopal church IL
the afternoon the Knight Templar at
tended Easter services in body. The
Knights were in uniform.
Rev Link preached most powerful
sermon to the sir knights, using as his
theme "In Hoe Signo Vinces." He
implored this hearers to ever look
upon the cross, not as an emblem with
Christ nailed upon it, but as memory
of the living Jesus. His entire thought
was to glorify the resurrection, rather
not to deplOre the crucifXiOn.
When thes ir knights entered the
edifice Onward Christian Soldier"
was rendered on the organ A special
choir rendered vocal selections of a
high order.
One of the special observances of the
day was at First M. E. church, where
the Sunday school scholars each took
a dozen eggs. These eggs will be
sent to the Methodist hospital at
Green Bay. The hospital is new in
stitution in that part of the state, and
the Watertown donation will be most
thankfully received. This observance
is a regular Easer gift of the local
congregation.
After the Easter services many Of
the churches sent the flowers which
decorated affairs to the hospital and to
members of their congregation who
were suffering from illness.
