ment in this vicinity, and bids fare to

Ottawa, Can., Nov. 9--The announce
ment is made that short time ago q
charming young nun known as Sister
Colombo, who, with four other nuns,
was in charge OF Catholic institution
at Temiscalningue, suddenly took her
departure for Ottawa, where she was
married to young man named LATER
riere. 1t appears that Laferriere was in
habit OF frequently visiting the instltu-
ton in which Sister Colombo lived, os.
tenslbly to see a young servant employ
ed there, to whom he appeared to be
paying great attention. Subsequent
events have proved that the young
woman in question was party in the
plot, as the correspondence between La
ferkiere and Sister Colombo passed
through her hands, The parish priests
surprise can well E,e imagined when he
was informed on arising in the morning
that the pretty sister had left the insti.
tuition and gone to her parents In OF
tawa, to which point she was followed
by Laferriere, who married her here
privately. Previous to her marriage
Archbishop Duhfmel, on hearing of her
arrival, wrotezto her asking her to call
at his palace, but in reply she wrote thass
II his grace wanted he see her he would
find her with her friends. Additional in.
terest has been given the romance by
two of her sisters. who had also taken
the veil, leaving the convent and return

The Aberdeen News undertakes to
account for the large reduction in the
republican majority in Dakota. 1t
asserts that that many Dakotaians who
have in the past voted the republican
ticket are at heart democrats and that
their latent preferences have been de-
yeloped by the accession to power OF a
democratic administration That there
is spriukliDg of voters of this class In
Dakota cannot be denied, but they are
few in number and are very poor class
4 OF political citizens. The gain from this
source woald hardly be peroeptible il it
stood alone.
The News makes graver charge than
this when it asserts that the republican
central committee apportioned the terri
tory IN the interest OF the statehood
movement as il was emphasized through
the Sioux Falls constitutional eonven-
tion. The apportionment was made
upon q population basis, under the
census OF 1885, and the News would be
unable to instance any deviation from
the rule should it make the attempt. In
following it's own local prejudice
against statehood it indulges in an
assertion rejecting upon the integrity
OF the representatives of the republican
party which should not be given place
without evidence to sustain it.
When the News, in the third division
OF its argument, portrays the excellence
OF the democratic campaign organiza-
ton and by contrast refers to the weak
and Intellectual efforts of the so-calIed
EsRah!!ean s:i:ss.;g;i organization il
touches upon o truth which will be
recognized at a glance. Judge Clifford
was IN the field, doing what
he could to spread himself
over this immense domain, but he was
practically laboring without the sym.
pathy or support of the new central
committee, which permitted the cam
paign TO take its course uninhuenced
to any preceptible extent, by the organ
| ization which accepted the Responsible
| ties of the canvass. With local dissen-
| siens aown broadcast over the territory
the situation demanded earnest and in
dustrious labor. This il received on the
democratic side and did not on the re.
publican side. The issue of division and
statehood could have no effect
upon the result, because both
candidates were outspoken in behalf
OF division and admission and
there was between the two parties no
difference of opinion upon this point.
TO the neglect of the republican central
committee and the consequent apathy
among the rank and file of republicansm
must be attributed to the fictitious gain
to the side of democracy shown in the
returns.

London passed through the crisis OF

For the Mutual Benefit Of Both Buyer and Seller.
Y13}F4RR INTERESTS!


If we YER to ask each reader in whose interest and for whose benefit
is this sent to you,' at least nnety-nine out of one hundred would at once
reply, your own, of course and in Sc doing would no doubt feel that they
had completely and correctly disposed of the question. Yet the fact e
mains that not one of the number would fully state the truth of the matter.
This paper is issued in the interest and for the benefit of its READERS and
can only do u g good as it first benefits them.
An advertisement is generally looked upon a S a method used by a mer-
chant to draw trade that will pay him a profit, and, S o ar as it goes, the
reasoning is correct, but. leaves the reasoner in a position to fall into the
very grave erroro of considering Il advertisements as selfish devices cal
is not the case, but before w e go any deeper into the subject W e wish to
preface our remarks with the statement that we are not endeavoring to pose
as a charitable institution, conducted solely for the good of our patrons
On the contrary, w e are here to make money, we sell goods for profit and
we want to close the old year of 1886 with a good balance oil the right side
of the ledger; but all this only makes ust the more anxious to serve your in
terests, for w e realize that unless a kindly feeling toward us exist among
you feel that it PAYS to buy of us-unless you believe u fair
and honorable, then we cannot enjoy your patronage, and without your
patronage we a not succeed. Then, to way of thnkfng' it is to OUR
interest to look well to YOUR interest, which makes our interests one and
the same, as both are striving to help the buyer.
There should be nothing antagonisic in the relations between buyer and
seller; there should be no feeling of doubt and mistrust o n either side
We value your trade highly and want it. not m purchase, but many all
iey is to look to your interests to please you, to save money for you, to
have you feel that we have benefited you and that lit is to your profit to trade
with u.s.. This mea that w shall enjoy your continuous patronage, and
continuous patronage from this thriving community means prosperity for
those who enjoy it.
Although this costs the reader nothing, it will prove a valuable and timely
purpose and aim 10 scatter far and wide the announcement that there is
something good in store for all who will. avail themselves of the opportunity.
It heralds the opening sales of our new Winter stock. 1t invites your
attention to an assortment of nw styles which will long be remembered as
q model exhibition of really frstclass goods. 1t puts you in the way of
saving money by pointing with unerring finger to where bargains of unques-
toned merit will surely be found.
We have tried to tell you lin a general way OF our splendid bargains, but
to appreciate them you must see them. We ask you to call and look over
our new stock and promise you that W e shall prove by treatment quality
and price that no one has ever looked after your interests better than
