LANGDON AUDITORIUM ACTIVITY

H. G. Lukken, city engineer and
superintendent of the waterworks at
Grand Forks, was here Tuesday to
lay before the board of county COM
missioners plans and drawings of the
proposed interior changes in the court
house which are contemplated by the
board to be made during the summer.
Last evening and during the forenoon
of yesterday MIR. Lukken made an
inspection of the opera house property
in company with members of the
commercial club relative to the feas-
ability of the idea of its being re-
modelled so as to form an auditorium
and city hall should the city decide
to purchase the property from its st.
Paul owner, Mr.. A. X. Pruden. On
his return to Grand Forks Mr., Lux
ken will prepare a rough draft or
pencil drawing of what changes the
opera house would have to undergo in
order to carry out this idea and an
estimate of the probable cost that it
would incur.

VICTIM OF CANCER

Theilbar After Illness of Only
Three Months Duration

We deeply regret to report the
death of Fred H. Thie)bar who died
of cancer at his home three miles
west of Olga, Tuseday Feb. LIST. He
was taken sick about three months
ago and although all that medical
skill and the careful nursing by low
ing wife and family Gould do, was
done, he gradually grew worse and at
10: 80 p. m., Tuesday, Feb. 1st sur
rendered his soul to Him who will
call each one of US in his own good
time. The remains We're laid to rest
in Zion cemetery and were followed
to their last resting place by large
number of sorrowing friends and
neighbors.
Fred H. Thielbar was born in Rid
ley county Indiana, May 18th, 1859
and was SIS years of age. He spent
most oa his early life in Indiana and
came to North Dakota seven years
ago. He was married to Minnie Kline

esteem him for his many good quail
ties. He was beneficiary member
of long standing in the Modern Wood

his death held policy for $4,000
which he leaves as mark of his low
ing thoughtfu]ness and care of those
dependent upon him. We join with

TO FARMERS MEETING

AS an aftermath of the successful
three days Cavalier county farmers
convention and mid winter fair held
in this city the past week it is found
that the result has heen found 80 en-
tirely satisfactory that the Langdon
commercial club at its meeting held
Monday evening decided to establish
the holding of a convention of this
kind each year as a permanent affair,
the arrangements for the convention
and mid winter fair of 1917 being
left in the hands of the same COM
petent committees, who so largely
contributed to the success of this
event in the two past years. There
was some talk of controlling the ad.
mission to the sessions of the conven-
tion by the issuing of season tickets
at the nominal price of one dollar to
aid in meeting the expense incurred,
but vote on the matter decided that
the plan which proved to be 80 emin-
emily successful at the convention of
week ago, with no charge what
ever, except for the banquet and an
nual entertainment, met with the
unanimous approval of practically all
who were present at the meeting.
This means that from year to year
the mid-winter fair and annual con-
vention of farmers of Cavalier county
will be an affair of ever increasing
interest and Importance.

SORROW ENTERS LANGDON
HOME THIS MORNING
Helen, Youngest Daughter of MIR. and Mrs A. |
Koehmstedt Passes Away

This morning at half past six
O'Clock sorrow entered the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. I. Koehmstedt,
When their Youngest uaugnJer, Helen
Margaret, aged eight years, passed
peacefully away, the approach of
death having its presence gradually
felt during the past week or ten days,
the last day or two of the little ones
life rendering it the more certain by
the presence of pneumonia, which is
stated as the direct cause of her
death.
Little Helen was born in August
OF 1907 and has not been a strong
child. AS she grew up, Helen had
at times been quite a sufferer from
rheumatism, that showing itself tre-
quently in the region of the heart and
other vital organs, had been a source
of constant anxiety to the parents
and family. During the summer of
last year, Mrs. Koehmstedt took her
little daughter west to the mineral
springs at Banff, Alta, and for a
time after their return hopes were
entertained that permanent benefit
had resulted. The illness which pre-
ceded her death this morning dates
back to the holidays at Christmas
time, when the epidemic of lagrippe
was prevalent in the city. Helen
never re-entered school at the close
of the vacation and has been confined
to her bed bearing much pain and
suffering a great deal of the time.
Her condition has been considered
serious by doctors attending the
patient for upwards of two weeks,
and the consultation had last Friday
with DR.. Law, of Grand Forks, re.
suited in it being agreed that life
would last so long as the strength
and vitality of the patient was able to
Withstand the ravages of the disease.
Naturally bright and Intelligent
beyond her years, Helen, who was
clever and pleasant little soul was
known and beloved by the children
and parents of the neighborhood and
her taking away to the happy home
above will leave vacancy of friend
ship in many families other than the
one where the blow cannot otherwise
than fall with gloom and bereave-
ment on the heavy hearts of happy
family circle, which the hand of
death has ruthless]y broken.
The funeral will be held Saturday
forenoon from St. Alphonsus church
at ten o'clock. The remains being
given Temporary resting place until
spring in the vault at Lebanon ceme-
terry, later, to be given interment and
the last rites of the Catholic church
al Calvary cemetery.
