The Peterson Sifters' concert ,
a- > sited by Sidney Landon as an
entertainer , was well recch ed by
250 to 300 people last Saturday
( night. The quartets were fine and
the p'aying ' perfect. We enjoyed
"Annie Laurie , " sung by the trio ,
very much , and nlo the vocnl
quaitet Applause for the nmitlo-
lin quartet .showed that m my en
joyed that part of the program as
well as any , though every part of
the program was well received. '
Sidney Landon rnado all laugh and '
he showed himself to be an im-
pcrsonator of no mean ability.
His make up on the stage of the
old man was nrirvplnns , as also tho
dutchman of Now York who want- 1
ed to talk politics , and the Swede
who was home sick and in love. ,

Geo. W. Sislejof Crookston ,
was in the city Monday.
We don't know anything about
foot ball , as some of our readers
perhaps know by last week's write
up of the foot ball game between
Valentine and O'Xeill at this place
on Thanksgiving day. In one
place we stated that , "Wallace
McDonald made several good foul
tackles. " where we meant that he
stopped the runner carrying the
fool ball. Our description was
based partly on terms used by
foot ball players and thought
stopping a runner of the opposing
side was "fouling him' ' in his pur
pose to extend the ball toward the
goal. Xow if we have made an
other blunder in making thi cor
rection , it is b ? cati-e of our lack
of knowledge of foot ball terms.
W. H. Carter , of Cody , came
down Tuc.sday of last week-to have
his wrist lanced and doctored.
Severil week's ago he was loading
heav.timber . - and the following
day felt a severe pain in his left
wrist which had gradually grown
worse until last week when he
came down to get Dr Lewis lance
it for him and found that pus had
formed next to the bone which was
taken ut and we hope he will be
gin at once to improve. Fie has
lost several pounds in weight since
suffering from this sprained wrist
and two of his finders and his ,
thumb have no feeling but they
may recover , now that the seat of
trouble has been reached. Mr ,
Carter called on us last Saturday.
Prof. Crabtrec , president of the
Peiu Xorrnal school , delivered a ,
lecture on ihe best schools and
teachers la b Friday evening at
the M E. church. The Professor
enlav < rd < upon his title , including
the influence- associates and the
gener-.I intere-t of communities in
education. The lecture was well
worth hearing and we are sorry
that thereere not more people
to hear him Prof. Watson , in
introducing Prof. Crabtree , stated
that it was worth four years of
anyone.- ' time to know such a man
a i In- - - of the Pern nor
mal ciio ! > l for the influence it
u on Id have over one knowing him.
W < are permitted to give the first
part of the Professor's lecture al-
uio-t veibatim ami make a brief
coiii'iM-nt or report of the remain
der which does not do justice to
the real lecture , but is more than'
th'ordinary newspaper report
H'id * uiieh we are plea-eel to place
before our ruaders. Mrs. W. S.
Jack-on favored the audience with
a solo , accompanied by Mrs. Gene-
vie ve lie wet t. both before and af-
tei the leehnehich was well re
ceived b.ever.xone . . The lec
ture , in p-irt , appears on another
pasie of tliis paper.
" Patsy" or "Little. Patsy , " a
woman who had lived at the Ilar-
sporting hou-e for about two
years , was found dead Tuesday
morning on East Railroad street ,
a couple hundred yards east of
town. The woman was accustom
ed t' > nsjriir morphine and cocaine.

taken an over dose and died from '
heart failure or exposure. Wit- :

ne.-ses seen eve

peared to be as usual and left the
Harris place about S:30 : p. m. to
come up town. She was seen up
town near 9 o'clock b.v several
persons but no one took any par
ticular notice of her. At a coron
