Lucy HOlton, a colored girl OF about
p years, committed suicide by hang
ing herself Saturday night at about II
O'Clock. She had been employed a.
q waiter at the Pacific House, and be-
came the attraction OF two cOlOred
boys-alsO employed at the Pacific.
She may have had the idea that her
charms would keep both lovers at her
feet but Ii seems she had cause to
be jealous Of one Of them at least.
Her home Is IN the old building on
the corner opposite Sir. Lowers hotel
at the depot. She went TO the attic
story ofthe building, and making q
moose OF q silk handkerchief and link.
ing this to q rope improvised from
cast of clothing, tied the instru-
ment Of death to the Tafters. Then
adjusting the rope about her neck
she leaped from her bed 20 the death
struggle. She was found cold and
dead by little brother who had made
an ascension to that region in search
Of his bed. Coroner Brown held an
inquest over the body. The funeral
occurred Monday afternoon.
Jay Gould, the great railroad king.
accompanied by his son George and
wife Miss Edith Kingdom. the
actress), Supis. Frye, Newman, Cor
rigan, and other officers, arrived in
salina by special train yesterday
morning. The mayor and prominent
citizens drove Mr.. Gould, and others,
about the city, and he seemed pleased
with the attention shown him. They
examined the switches and various
tracks OF the Missouri Pacific, with
reference to handling freight, and
looked over other railroad property
All were very much pleased With SG-
lima. With reference to making Sa-
lima the end Of a passenger and
freight division there was some con
siderable discussion The officers re
quested that Salina should make q
proposition TO the company. a. nu-
merous other towns were doing, and
lntItnated that the company would
need at least 40 acres Of land for the
accommodation OF the various shops
and buildings they would have TO
build, provided they decided upon
salina as the location. Hence It is
inferred that the company propose to
make an important railroad point
somewhere in this locality. The
party went from Salina to the end Of
the K. and c. track, returning in the
eveninR.

FARM Frs WIVES.
Faithful Helpers Who Are Worn Out BY
Ceaseless Work.

Ceaseless Work.
Hard as has been the lot of the farmer
in the past, before invention came to
his aid, the wives of the farmers are
still far behind in the advantages Sc
cured. The loom has been discarded
and so has the spinning wheel, while
the sewing machine and washer have
lessened the labor of the household, yet
the farmers wife still has much hard
work to perform. We may even add
that the stove has superseded the old
broad fireplace, and soap-boiling and
candle-making are occupations of the
past but her labor is still tiresome and
combining.
When the busy season arrives the
hardest work falls to the wife, and
everything depends upon her manage
ment in order that the labor in the
field may not be retarded. The meals
must be done on time, and in unknown
quantities, while her task of giving sat
isfaction begins with her husband and
includes the young tyrant in the cradle.
She must be in two or more places at
the same time, while her duties must
be performed in a manner to please all.
Help may be secured, but as it is often
impossible to be so accommodated, the
duties must still be performed. Her
work can not be delegated entirely to
others, for, like the rudder of ship,
should an accident happen, it requires
too much time for repairs, and when
she fails to steer the household craft
in the right direction, confusion is the
result.
Woman's work should be made
easier on some farms, and she should
not be called upon to assist in any
work that is to be done outside the
house, though such is not the rule in
all cases. Too often hard work soor
wears ont these willing helpers, and
renders them prematurely old.-Farna
Field and Stockmaa.

FOR FULL DRESS.
Oriental Beauty Which Exceeds All Past
Memories.


Memories.
There is an oriental beauty in the
full-dress fashions of this season, ex-
ceeding all past memories. A skirt of
softest creamy-white satin is covered
with another of gold-tinsel lace of full
draperies across the front in tablier
design; plaits are closely laid, one
over the other, on the left side, and the
remainder of the lace is carried over
the tournure and placed in three or
four large puhs. The low-cut corsage
and short sleeves are massed with flow
ers. Among new exquisite ball fabrics
is the tufted illusion. 1t has the effect
in one style of shower of rose-buds,
or pink and white daisies caught in
great cobweb. For dancing, trains are
abolished, but there are many superb
costumes with trains; a white and
green satin CLEANED like sea-foam
through misty cloud of old point lace.
Some other toilets are embroidered
with gold in sprays of wheat in finest
needle-work. The addition is made of
airy puflings of embroidered tulle, and
there are other additions of gold-worked
tulle. Rose is one of the popular col
ors, in several shades, for both blonde
and brunette. A charming reception
costume of heavy satin is brocaded
closely with perfect, full-blown roses
on the rose-tinted lilac ground; the
graceful buds droop over the pale-gold
foliage-all most exquisitely shaded.
The open front of the skirt is drawn
back to disclose the petticoat of Parma
violet velvet, which is profusely trimmed
with bands worked with pearl, violet
and iridescent beads. Foreign designs
have introduced into some of these
magnificent fabrics the fashions of
Saracenic textures wrought in Spain.
Specimens of old silk from the looms Of
Palermo are copied, having the ground
covered with curled serrated leaves,
vines and the Undiscovered centaliry.
India silks of the gorgeous medieval
| period are reproduced with flowers,
shells and vines in silver and gold, and
hecks of scarletsand of gold and Opal
standings. Good Housekeeping.

a Mysterious Physician.


A Sicilian doctor. who asserts that he
has discovered sovereign remedy for
cholera, saves the expense of patcnting
it by simply refusing to make its nature
known to any one, and administering it
in q private room where he and his pa
tent are alone together, This air of
mystery, no doubt, tends to stimulate
the faith of the simple Sicilians, and on
that account it is quite possible that the
virtue of the cure would indeed vanish
if the secret were revealed. Meanwhile,

DUTCH HOUSES,
The Clean and Comfortable Homes of the
Steady HOllanders.

The Clean and Comfortable Homes of the
Steady Hollanders.
In the streets of Amsterdam one may
remark here and there passage about
a yard wide. Enter this passage, and
you find yourself between double
range of little coquettish brick houses,
with garden divided off by hedges or
by palisades slightly raised, and num-
Der of little pieces of ground three or
four PAGES square, each belonging to
the house which faces it. This is inval-
liable to the Dutchman. 1t not only
serves as drying-yard for the family
clothes, but as a place to dry and
sweeten the pots and kettles and
kitchen utensils, which are secured I'M
ceasingly, and which constitute the
pride of the Dutch household. Enter
one OF these houses and you find your
self in the middle of room about fif-
teen feet square, having a front win
dow, in the corner fireplace, provided
with small stove sufficient for warm
ing and cooking purposes. One or two
cuphoards do duty as pantries, whilst
a deeper one, inclosing bed and hid
den by curtain, is the bedchamber of
the father and mother of the family.
The ground is generally fioored, but
not always; the walls, eight or ten feet
high. are whitened where the tenant
has not papered them. The furniture
of the apartment is generally sufficient
and well kept. There is no back door.
In one corner of the room a straight,
steep staircase leads to the higher
room, where the younger members of
the family sleep. An air of order and
cleanliness reigns all over the house,
and witnesses that care and cleanliness
are considered to be the first of domes-
tic virtues. For house of this kind
the rent is fifty to sixty-five cents per
week.-Sat,rddy Revieic.

Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1886-12-31

EVERYTHING seems to point to the fact
that the year 1887 will be one of great
prosperity tor Dakota in general and the
Missouri Slope in particular. The deluge
of inquiries now being received in all
parts of newer Dakota from eastern peo-
pie who want to 'go vest denotes that
the next season will be one of great activ-
ity in the matter of immigration. Nor is
it strange. The truth is that Uncle sam's s
free farming lands are narrowing down
to comparatively small area. In Kan
sas and Nebraska there is no good public
land worth mentioning. In Dakota
nearly every arabic quarter in and between
the Red and James River valleys is taken.
Claim-seekers who have come to Emmons
County across the country from the
south and southeast say that mostly every
thing below the forty sixth parallel has
been entered. From lack of railroad fa-
cilities, the country within a hundred
miles OF Bismarck and few miles distant
from the Northern Pacific, has remained
sparsely settled. But, now that it is GER
tain that the part of the Slope referred to
is to be the principal field In Dakota for
railroad building next year, its population
will increase us If by magic. The season
of '87 will be lively one, and no man
who wants TO work need remain idle.
