Great tears came into Marie',s eyes

backed Christina. to neither of whom
could she make n return for all that
they had done for her.
Peter had soon got the mastery over
the temper. and would have nothing
to say to the money, Marie, however,;
insisted that he had bought the bank
notes along with the cradle, and would
have nothing to say to them, either.
care you silly, girl?' exclaimed Frau
Jansen. in her resolute way. "Who-
ever heard of buying three thousand
guldens for a gulden and t%hree-quar-
ters?" and SC saying she pushed the
bank notes over to the girl.
IL should Ike to see myself taking
them" said Marie, and put two of them
down before Peer, but Frau Jansen
took n and gave it back to the Girl.
So the matter was finally settled.
Cradle-Mie stayed on with the Jan
sens. Peter put her 1000 guldens into
the savings bank till the young farmer,
who had been alluded to, should turn
up. "And we won't have long to wait
for h!m," he opined, chuckling. With
the third bank note he bought himself
a bit OF land, a horse and two cows.
When anyone asked him how he had
grown so rich all of a sudden, he re-.
piled that God had blessed him -
thousand-fold;" and it seemed to him
for no other reason than that he had
taken pity on the poor, destitute girl.
Three days after Candlemas Frau
Jansen had a fine little girl, to whom
Cradle-Mie stood godmother, and the
little one did so we'll in the newly-cov.

to look at her.

too, did not fail to appear; for, when
Frau Jansen's brother came home in
the following year from serving in the
army, Cradle-Mie found great favor in
his eyes and he in Cradle-Mie's, and
they were married before the year was
out. The young couple took the old
iron cradle to their new home.

with joy."-M. Y. Star.

WHEREAS, 1t is currently and au.
tboritatively alleged and reported that
ut the general election held in Oneida
county, Idaho Territory, on the 4th
day Of November, 1884, that fragrant
and gross frauds were perpetrated
against the sanctty of the ballot, and
that violence and intimidation were
rrsorted to by the henchmen of the
Mormon Church - they being the
recognized leaders of the Mormon
Democratic party in said county-in

dictates Of the polygamous hierarchy

Camas precinct, in said county, there
were but twelve votes registered,
sIxty-two cast, and one hundred and
sixteen returned as actually cast; that
at said precinct the Democratic can

fifty nine majority of said votes.
Second l hat at Preston precinct

FINE GOODS,
Mr.. Paddock Trying to Fill "a Long
Felt Nani.'

The people of Wood River will have
none but the best Of everything, and
prefer to pay higher price for first
class goods than lower one for infe.
rior goods. Realizing this Charles +.
Paddock, sole agent in Idaho for
Wanamaker & Brown. of Philadel-
phia, the foremost establishment in
the world in the gents furnishing
goods line, has just put in a stock of
goods for gents wear that for quality
and elegance is not equaled in the
inter-mountain country. His store
adjoins Humphreys Nevada Chop
House.
This being only an experiment, Mr..
Paddock's stock is not very extensive,
but it is sufficiently comprehensive to
include almost everything that a gen
tleman may require in the way of
clothes or things to wear, no matter
how tncal his taste. If the expert
ment proves that this line Of goods is
really wanted here, Mr.. Paddock will
secure additional storeroom and order
Il stock that will fully meet the de.
mand.
AS list Of all the articles at Mr.
Paddock's would require too much
space, few will be mentioned to sat
isfy all connoisseurs of their general
excellence. For instance, there are
seal skin caps; alligator, patent leath.
er, kid and velvet slippers; embroid-
cred silk suspenders; silk handker-
chiefs; kid mitts; gloves and gaunt-
lets; fine dress boots and shoes; Is.
thread underwear; soft flannels, night
wraps, etc. All of these are of the
very finest quality and workmanship,
while the prices-which are marked
in plain figures, and the same to all
are really low for such goods. Call
and examine them.
