Mrs. Astor's Dinner to the Bellevue Pa
tients.
New York SUM-

New York sun.
An appetizing odor of roast turkey
permeated the wards and corridors of
Bellevue hospital at noon. Active nurses
in pretty white caps and aprons and en-
ergetic orderlies darted into 40 wards and
spread 40 immaculate cloths on as many
long tables. Pale-faced women and men,
some lying at full length some propped up
with pillows, and some sitting on the side
of white-covered cots. smiled and looked
eXpcctant. Some .dilatcd their nOstrils
and opened their mouths to take in the
fragrance that came up from the Kitchen.
\ little woman raised herself ON her right
elbow, took Il long breath and exclaimed,
with an air of conviction, Il do smell
turkey \ patient in the next bed said,
so do l." All of the - invallds in the
ward made similar announcements.
/. They were all right, for 100 Thanksgiv-
ing birds were roasting in the hospital
kitchen. The patients might have caught
also the fragrance of 1000 smoking white
rolls and of fricasseed chicken, hot coffee
and celery, if the roast turkey had not
completely mOnopolizcd their sense of
smell.
After spreading the cloths, the neat
nurses and the orderlies disappeared.
After while they became partly visible
again behind big dishes laden with unmis-
taxable turkeys, winch We're deposited on
the long tables. The nurses then went
away again, and whisked back with plates
full of other good things.
Then those who were not too weak tC
leave their beds got up and sat at the
tables and eagerly ate the good things
They We're told that they We're indebted
for the feast to Mrs. William Aston, whose
youngest daughter was to be married that
day, Those who could not leave their
| beds were fed AS they rpcliupl-thp weak
est with wine jelly and chicken broth
Some of them had been there long enough
to remember "A similar dinner given tc
them by Mrs. Aston on a similar occasion
They regretted that Mrs. Aston has nc
more daughters to marry.

An ohio Liquor Dealer Murdered by "A
Mob.


A startling tragedy occurred in Bladens-
burgh, about twelve miles south of Mount
Vernon, Ohio, the other day. For many
years there was no saloon in the town. In
February a man named John Chaplin NOV
ed with his family from Mount Vernon to
Blodensburgh and opened saloon. Cha
pin took up his residence in house in the
rear of the his saloon. Between midnight
and daybreak on Sunday morning a mob
of men, comprised of leading Prohibition
lists bearing axes, picks and shovels, made
"A furious assault upon the saloon and resi-
dence. Chaplin refused them admittance,
and they pelted his house with stones, one
of which, passing through n window,
struck Chaplin on the head, fracturing
his skull and throwing him to the
floor. The mob then forced its way
through the rear of the house into the
saloon, opened the front doors and pro
ceeded to completely destroy with axes
the bar fixtures and furniture of the place,
They then took the stock of liquors and
piled it in the street Barrels of whiskey
were then rolled from the cellar and the
whole stack was made Il huge bonfire in
| the centre of the street. In the mean
time Chaplin was found to be fatally i'll
| iured, and some of the mob We're de
| spatched to Mount Vernon for medical
aid. Two physicians arrived Monday, but
were too late, Chaplin having breathed
his last. He leaves Il wife and several
children There is intense excitement
throughout the county over the outrage,
and band of Mount Vernon roughs
swear they will ayenge Chapn's death
More trouble is feared,

On several occasions the RECORD has
called attention to the absolute necessity
of Emmons county doing something
toward making the territorial exhibit ut
the New Orleans Exposition success.
Commissioner Mckenzie has been WISHING
South Dakota on business connectH with
this important matter, and everywhere
his trip has produced gratifying results.
The basis on which county assistance Is
asked should not be misunderstood. 1t
is not desired rs . gift, but simply loan
of credit through county orders, which
amount the next Legislature will bc asked
to appropriate. Our exchanges from all
sections of the territory are unit in ad-
vocating the necessity Of raising funds,
and nominees for Legislative honors are
generally pledging themselves TO the ad-
vocacy Of an appropriation by our terri,
torial lawmakers to cover the credit loan.
When past differences on the part ot South
Dakota people with the Commissioner
have been laid aside in connection with
this undertaking for the general good,
and they IRE cnergctically backing him in
his work. it will look strange X we from
his own section fail to do our part A

Orleans will be Of vast benefit to the ter.

UAV IoM Should Subscribe.
The publisher of the RECORD desires to
call the attention of citizens of every sec
tion of Emmons County to the following
facts:
1. That every cent invested in the pa-
per belongs to its founder, and that it is
under the control of no ring company or
corporation.
2. That the RECORD will use every
argument within the bounds Of truth to
attract settlers to our county. 1t will not,
however, misrepresent the facts, lclcv-
ing that THK TRUTH told regarding the
Missouri Valley is sufficient to induce
immigration.
8. That, from its subscription and adj
vcrtising patronage. the RECORD has
now reached 4 point where it's pcrma-
nency is assured
4. That any citizen of the county may
at any tf9e state his or her grievance
through the columns of the paper, gov
erned only by attention to decent lam
gunge and Y regard for necessary brevity.
5. That. while tile RECORD will ever
aim to keep outside The realm OF dullncss
and insipidity, it will under no circum-
stances become medium for the intro
ductiOn Of doubtful Jokes and question
oe the family circle.
6. That the RECORD will, us occasion
requires, state it's opinion freely and fear.
lcssly as to the PUBLIC life and acts of
county officers and candidates for Off cc,
with Il just criticism of their q,nlitic;-
tions; but will not attack, or publish an
attack, upon the private life Of All officer
or seeker for office.
Z. In the great political fight which is
to come between producers and the trans
pOrtntiOn and elevator mOnOpOlies, the
RECORD will be found 1T all times on
the side of the people.
=. That in any sectional jcalOuSies
which may exist, it should be rcnlcn,-
bcred that a county paper must he pub
lislled SOMEWHERE in the county; and
that faithful devotion to the interests
of the whole county should be the only
basis in passing Judgment upon ii.
D. That the publisher desires news from
every postotfice or settlement in the
county. A regular correspondent is
wanted ut every postofficc.
~. That the size and value of the pa per
will grow in proportion to the support it
receives.
II. That. rs the RECORD will direct
all it's efforts toward attracting settlers.

ONE of the results the consummation
Of which is dcvoutly to be wished is that
immigration may soon bring about the
necessity for Il reduction in the size of
the over-largc counties of Dakota. While
the claim may be advanced that more
counties would nccessitate the employ
mcnt of additional officers, it is also true
that the increased outlay would not prove
nearly equal to the benefits which would
accrue in the matter of economy in time
and expense to those who are compelled
to do business ut county seats. There arc
score of organized counties in Dakota
which should be halvcd.

ritory at large. and Emmons County will
receive her share of the advertising and
immigration resulting tlrcrcfrom. We
trust the County Commissioners will take
favorable action in the matter, especially
as not one cent will be taken permanently
from the county funds.
