Congress passed a law leaving 1t optional with the President whether or not he would allow Col. Theodore Roosevelt to car " voluntary army to the fighting line. in France. The President, after consultation with army officers, declined Col Roosevelt's offer. Our opinion is, that the Col. would have known how to take care of his army, and would have given a good account of himself if he had been permitted to go.

A letter from our old friend, dr. Thos. H. Baldy, brings to hind a story told here in the lays immediately following re- construction. which character lzed his reputation for probity of conduct. Mir. Baldy had been appointed one of the election Judges, in a precinct in which the negro vote predominated, a. ong with two other Judges, whom we will call Simon Stinson and John Dicken, but as these gentlemen were then too young to act as Judges, of course these are mere substitute names. As
 he story goes, the two Judges selected to serve with Mr. Baldy, lesired to manipulate the negro sote according to their own 'ancy, and, as they believed, for the good of the cause, but they knew that Mr. Badly would 'tand for nothing crooked. So they tried to think out plan to displace him with another Judge, agreeable to their methods. but nothing could be done, so their 'ast hope was that Mir. Baldy night be sick on election day, md thus create the vacancy. But, To, and behold, when they arrived at the polls, early in the morning, there sat MT. Baldy, ready for duty. A cloud of gloom swept over them.

The chief attraction at the Red

marrieds and singles of Lansford was

cidents on the benedicts' side that their
wives became suspicious and marched
out onto the field to investigate where

played great agility in getting away
from that spot
Art Olson of Coteau sank from
cramps when bathing on the 4th, and
was saved from drowning by j. S. Jor-
genson, an elevator man of Kenmare,
who jumped in after him. Olson was
larger than any Of his companions
and when he cried for help, tho they
Immediately went to his assistance,

sarily had to avoid his frantic death
grapples. Mr. Jorgenson is Of power
full stature and went in in his clothes,
lswimming to where the drowning man
last went down; but before he could
dive his feet were seized as in vice
and he was drawn under water, practi-
cally helpless. The other bathers,
however, quickly formed hand chain
from the bank and getting Jorgenson

with the unconscious man holding his
feet in a death grip. Prompt work

him with three calves, triplets, last
fall, while up Williston way, John
Penson, a reliable man, declares that
his faithful Jersey gave him an in
crease of seven calves in three years.
The early days Of North Dakota are
further recalled by the Schafer Record
man in the story: Some twenty years
ago, in what is now Mckenzie county,
we saw common old Durham COW
that presented her owner with seven
head of increase in one short summer
The calf crop that summer was far be-
low the average, too. There were no
less than six cows, belonging to the
Long x outfit and ranging in the i'm
midate vicinity, that had "nary" a
calf. The man who owned this pro-
| life animal is still living in the coun-
ty. He is in comfortable circum-
stances and is taking life easy. About
all he has to worry about these days
are his taxes and that some of his
|neighbors might produce COW with a
better calf record than that Of the
nucleus Of his large herd.

There were no witnesses to the acct

it was decided that no inquest was

mates, by whom he will be greatly
