A Iflamlaimis Case
At the annual meeting of the voters
of school district Xo 3 northeast of
Crookston Mrs Matt Bowen was
elected treasurer of the district but
the incumbent Thomas Kelly refused
to turn over the books and accessories
of the office to Mrs Bowen claiming
that the election was illegal Through
her attorney Ed Clarke the lady has
petitioned the district court to issue a
mandamus cornpellihg the said Thos
Kelly to show cause why he should
not recognize her as his successor If
the petition is granted the case will
probably be heard Monday
The Benefit Concert
Last Friday night the Fort Niobrara
orchestra gave a benefit concert at
Cornell Hall assisted by Miss Gertrude
Kimberly and Mr Beau Brummel and
others Benefit entertainments are
usually supposed to be for the enrich
ment of the persons or organizations
giving them but in this instance it
was different The audience received
the benefit of as fine a musical program
as anyone could wish while the orches
tra got nothing practically but exper
ience and an enthusiastic reception
from the select audience Why is it
that people always - think ahome
talent entertainhient is not worthy of
patronage except from charitable
motives Our people will pay 75 cents
or more to see a third rate traveling
company while such a high grade en
tertainment as that ot last Friday is
given the marble heart The music
both vocal and instrumental was the
work of artists and our citizens should
avail themselves of the opportunity to
hear these people if they can be per
suadedto give another recital

The editor of this paper took a trip
down the road Saturday to Ainsworth
and on to Longpine Sunday That
isnt what this article is to tell about
however Evidence of an abundant
crop this fall were plentiful and it
seems now as though this fall was to
witness a revival of the prasperity
which attended this country in years
gone by The editor is not stuck up
so he rode on a freight train At
Arabia a large crowd was gathered on
the outskirts of the city watching a
ball game From his coign of van
tage on top of a caboose J he saw one
inning of the game played The rail
road company is putting up fence
west of Wood Lake About four
miles of ties were strung- Saturday
Wood Lake is rapidly attaining the
looks and business of a city Johns
town is about as large as it ever was
Ainsworth looks pretty old The
financial depression has struck the
townliard Everybody there seemed
to be in favor of Bryan for president
and they had a little jubilee Saturday
night to celebrate his nomination
People seemedtobe greatly encourag
ed by the outlook County Institute
is in session but only thirty teachers
are enrolled The salary of the princi
pal of the schools has been ctft from
100 to 80 per month and no princi
pal has yet been hired
Longpine is still pegging away in
the good old fashioned style and is
making great preparations for the
Chautauqua assembly which commen
ces Friday Governor Holcomb will
speak at the grounds Saturday after
noon and a large crowd is expected
Smalllgrain is doing well but corn
needs a rain this week to insure a
full crop Grasshoppers were arriving
near Longpine Sunday in large num
bers and great fear was manifest that
the insects would eat up the pros
pects But take these towns at their
best and they caunot compare with

Sing oh sing of the green hay fluts
With verdure have they grown
Bearing on their acres broad
Hay -to soon be mown
Now the time is near at hand
To make our hay so fine
The grain we feed our horses
We will get In Valentine
llepair the mower and the sweep
Turn dentist for the rake
When that Is done well busy be4
By hillside marslraud lake
Although sonve days we have to work
Amid mosquitoe3 fiiesHKl gnftts
Well health retain and musclo gain
While haying on the flats
Mow the grass and haul it in
Stack it near the shed
AiM when the howling blizzards come
The stock can theie be fed
Let other countries boast of soil
Of gumbo clay or loam
And though they may not envy us
Well keep our sand hills home
