Sheriff Bovee has four boarders at
his hotel at present, with the prom
Use of others at a early day. His
accommodations seem to suit q GER
tain class, and when they once reg
lister with him no hotel keeper ever
looks after his guests with more con-
Germ than the proprietor of the base
ment hotel in this city. Their NOR
ais are SO carefully looked after that
they are not permitted to mingle
with anybody on the street, and
dare not be out at night-or even in
the daytime.
Geo. Ficklin is an old boarder,
and has consented to remain two
months longer, and stop a while at
Detroit.
Martin McClintick wanted horse
very bad last summer at Sioux
Point, and went into partnership
with Ficklin. They got q horse
but sold it at such extremely low
figures that he finds it necessary *

He says he does not know how lonf
he may remain; but thinks the out

Joe Bellard has lived in Siouz
Point for some years. Sometim,
ago he got hard up for meat
and, while walking through tn
woods one day, he saw q two yea

the hide. But that raise could no
last always, and Sheriff Bovee, hear

and brought him up TO board witt

PErERsoN's MAGAZINE for January
is already out, and q magnificent
number it is: a triumph Of liter
allure, art, and fashion. The
principal steel engraving, "A Mes
sage from the Sea-" is one of rare
beauty. 1t and it's companion, "The
Runaway Pair" which illustrates q
story by Frank Lee Benedict, are
alone worth the price of the number.
The double size, colored, steel FASH
ion plate is unrivaled, and will fasci-
nate the ladies. There is O large
colored pattern, in Art needlework,
q really superb affair, and such as
would cost at a retail store, fifty
cents. We do not exaggerate in
saying that the January number is
a perfect gem Of loveliness. The
stories are all unusually good even
for Peterson. Mrs. Ann S. Stevens
begins q powerfully written novelet,
Lost" which is in her very best
vein. In addition, there are stories
fby Mrs. r. III. Burnett, Mrs. r.
Harding Davis, "Josiah Aliens
Wife," &c. By all means subscribe
for this Magazine for 1880. Its the
cheapest and best Of its kind. The

WE would call the attention of
our readers to the large advertise
ment of G. w. Beggs, covering the
seventh and eighth columns of this
page. Mr.. Beggs is one of the live
active business men of the west, and
during his career in this city has
succeeded in building up a trade
surpassed by few, if any, in the west.
His stock is always complete, and
contains just such goods as people
need. He has a large room, but
there is not a foot of the space un-
occupied. In dry goods and dress
goods, from the coursest to the very
finest, you can always find just what
you want, and need never leave his
store unsuited. Of groceries his
stock is large, complete and cheap,
and the very best the market affords.
But it is useless for us to enumerate
and itemize what he keeps. All the
way to ascertain is to 60 in and find
out. One thing is certain, however,
and you can depend upon it, that
when a man comes out and adver-
tises what he keeps and tells you
where to find certain goods, you can
safely visit his store and buy what
you need. So drop in and see Mr.
Beggs' mammoth stock of goods.
1t will do you good.

D. N. WISEMAN, THE SEDUCER.

The GAINESVILLE Times of last week con-
tains lengthy article from Somerset
correspondent giving an account of the
Wiseman- Hesse seduction case, and which
has been read by almost every one in this
community. We do not hesitate to de-
nounee both, as Miss Hesse is about thirty
years of age, we'll educated, and has been
reared in an upright family. She we'll knew
that she was committing the foulest crime
and not only running her self and bringing
disgrace to her family, but also casting the
same disgrace on Mrs. Wiseman and her
helpless children. But it must be remem-
bered her seducer has been laboring for
years to accomplish his hellish desire. He
labored hard to have her retained in the
schools when he was member of the
Board, he did every thing in his power to
| advance her interest, and by this means
succeeded in gaining her confidence. She
was welcome guest at his home and for
some time shared the hospitalities of the
family. Hez was all this time setting a
net for his victim. Her affections were
growing for him daily, and finely he ac-
complished his end. She would accom- pany
him wherever he went, and finally Mrs
Wiseman's suspicious were aroused, land il
is said that she discovered them in crimi
nal action and she denied Miss Hesse bel
home. She is now ruined girl, and will
in all probability soon be a mother. Sht
has paid the severest penalty. But shor
time ago she was honored and respected
and was looked upon as one of the mos
useful members of society. Nothing bu
disgrace, and misery accompany her now
: D. M. Wiseman, the vile seducer, liza
and scoundrel is permitted to run at larg
and glorify over the sadness and disgrac
he has caused. He will never pay tn
penalty of his crime until be reaches hi
destination in the lower regions, where hi
debased being will be disgrace to the paI
assigned him. Thousands of better me
have ended their earthly career at the end c
3 of a rope. He will yet before he dies receiv
the benefits of his crime.
