The Place For a Poor Man.

Dakota is no doubt the best place
for poor man to get a start of any
farming country on the globe, if he is
willing to put all his ambition and
energy into operation and put up with
few hardships for year or two.
Men have come here with barely
enough money to put up their build
ings-and some without enough even
for that-who are now worth thous-
ands of dollars. We do not mean to
infer from this that everyone can get
rich here in year or two-and a
great many who came here with that
idea in their heads have found it
out-but we do mean to say that for
the right kind Of {; man there awaits
him here a bollntiful harvest, finan-
cially. Some folks in the East get
the notion that they can come here
and "show these fellows how to run
farm whether they ever saw one
or not. and imagine their surprise
when they get here to try it and find
that there are just as good farmers
in Dakota as there are in the States.
This is the class that afterwards go
back east and try to run down the
country, but all they can do does not
affect in any way the harvests of the
"No. Hard" and while they are
blowing so much about the country
they are only advertising it unknow-
ingly. Then, again, there is a class
of people who are of IL rowing DISPOSE
ton, who are not contented anywhere
and this class, too, will say all they
can against the country. Those who
belong to either of these classes are
Il great deal better off where they are
but to the farmers, those who are
willing to settle down and grow up
with the country. put ont shrubbery
and engage in general diversified
farming, we say again, a golden har-
vest awaits you.-Dakota Farmer.

Notice to Stockmen.

Stock brands will be inserted in the
PRESS for one year for the small sum
of $l2, exclusive of the cost of the
cut. This is dirt cheap and any
stockman, whether his herd is large
or small, can afford the investment.
If it saves only one stray, saying
nothing of range protection, it will
pay over three years advertising.

Fire at the Tabor.

Denver, January AT 8 O'Clock
this afternoon the Tabor Grand opera
house was discovered on ere. In an
incredibly short time the flames burst
from the roof. The total destruction
of one of the finest theaters in this
country seemed imminent. By the
efficient concerted action Of the FIRE
department and the opera house brigade
the fire was soon under control. The
damage was confined TO the fifth floor,
northwest corner. Estimated loss,
$40, 600; distributed in fifty companies.
Cause, defective Hue. No serious acci-
dents. The theater proper was un-
touched. The Boston Ideal opera COM
pany gave their performance tonight
as usual.

A Desperate Effort.

New Orleans, January 4.-The Pic
ayune's Baton Rouge special says:
Valmar Rector, colored. was hanged
for the murder of Duncan Williams,
committed in December, 1882. The
murder was cold blooded and cowardly.
1t is stated that Rector also murdered
his stepfather without ~provocation, but
escaped punishment by the laxity of the
courts. On the scaffold Rector ad-
dressed the people and warned all to
avoid whiskey, which brought him to
the gallows. The sheriff drew down
the black cap, affixed the rope and
stepped off the scaffold, closely followed
by Rector. The culprit vas taken
back but refused to remain, following
the deputies when they left. The sheriff
was compelled to call on the bystanders
for assistance, the deputies being una
BILE to keep Rector on the scaffold. The
prisoner uttered terrific creams and
begged piteously for his life. Finally
his limbs were bound and the hanging
proceeded. This is the frst execution
in this parish under the civil law since
1856.

Having long been a resident of this
city, it has been my aim to ascertain
the wants Of its people, and then study
to satisfy them. In purchasing that
popular article known as 'Hale's Honey
OF Horehound and Tar" for coughs,
colds, influenza and all affections of the
throat and lungs leading to consump-
ton, my Policy'' has certainly been
appreciated as can be seen by its largely
increasing sale, by what the people say
of it, our best physicians prescribing it,
all the druggists recommending it, the
testimonials received almost daily, pro-
claiming its wonderful cures, ETC., etc.
Ask your druggists for "Hale's Honey

other. Price so cents and 81.
