DIR. Elmer Hubbard the well
known Specialist on Chronic Dis
eases, was at the Commercial accord
ing to appointment, on Tuesday,
Nov. 10th. His rooms at fhcasakel
were crowded during his stay and on
account of his many patients here
he viii return much sooner than
expected on his next visit, Tuesday,
January 18th, 1887.
The official result of the can
vass on legislative officers is as fol-
lows. On Councilman, Sheldon's
vote in Grant, 1861, Day, 1929,
Roberts, POS, Codington, ISL, total
1899. Sullivan received in Day,
81, Grant, 900, Roberts, 220, Cod
ington, 525, total 1852. This only
1887 majority. Representatives
Cooper received a total vote of2463.
Compton 1885, Williams 1871 and
Gesley 2050. Williams majority
over Compton $50 and Cooper over
Gesley 40. BY this vote one DEM
ocrat and one republican is elected
to the house. 1t is evident that the
farmers took hand in this election
and, as we used to say in geometri-
cal OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES PROPOSE
tion.
This morning, with the genial
sunshine irradiating hill and valley
with flood of light that brings
forth the joyous song of the plow-
man, it seems strange to IFS to hear
that trains are blockaded with snow
IN Iowa and Minnesota. But SO it
is, the trains this morning are "a
hours lase, and we are compelled to
do without our morning papers that
are such necessary adjunct to our
office. Our people are certainly to
be congratulated on this magnificent
weather-it makes us SILVER when
we think Of the cold winds and
whirllng snow in Minnesota, Iowa,
Illinois, New York and even West
Virginia. Goshl We wouldn't live
in those countries for anything.
Think of it, six inches of snow in
Minpeapolis-ugh! it makes us look
into the closet and examine the old
buffalo coat that has hung there
ever since last March.
Bob Eurdette pays his compli
ments to the newspaper chronic
fault-finder as follows: ssSuppose
newspaper man, every time he hears
of a man who severely criticises him
or his paper in public, should retail
late by holding up to the public
gaze the faults and shortcomings of
said Pathfinder, what would be the
result? Why, the criticiser would
think himself terribly outraged and
would thirst for the editors gore.
Then the poor quill driver would
get shot or shoot somebody. That
patient beast of burden, the county
journalist, never does this except
under great provocatioa. 1t isn't
because he is afraid to dc it, but
because he isn't mean enough. He
allows men to go around trying to
destroy his business. He hears his
paper called a worthless sheet be-
cause its editor is doing his duty
has stepped on somebody's toes.
Such worthless scoundrels should
receive no mercy at the hands of the
press"
Our Mill is receiving an aver
age of 300 bushels of wheat day in
exchange for -four, and the beauty
OF it is, are giving general satisfac-
tion to our farmers. This will be
readily admitted when it is known
that, although they grind an aver
age of 20 barrels Of flour a day, it
keeps them hRstling to keep up with
their Exchange business. This fall
IS fully demonstrating the value of
this mill TO our commercial interests.
Already the trade it has brought to
our city has more than compensated
our business men for all they invest
cd in the enterprise. Last Satur-
day we saw, in two different husi-
ness houses in town, men from the
Valley near Langford lone man
spent s55 in cash FOR goods. An.
ether $36 and still another $25, to |
our personal knowledge. 1t is safe |
to say that $3.50 was left with our
business men Saturday that they |
never would have gotten in the |
world had not these people come
here to mill. It's g big thing for !
Webster, and our people never did |
better thing for the town, than |
they did when they went down into
their pockets to secure its location
here.
The Great American Desert" especi-
ally this pass of it, sends greeting to the
snow bound, blizzard ridden people in
the States, and extend to them hearty
invitation to come to Dakota, the land If
yernal sunshine, and mild and gentle
zephyrs. Cur earnest sympathy goes out
to those of you who are compelled to
linger in those inhospltable chimes, be-
ref of even an opportunity TO look upon
this mecca Of the American settlers hope.
Dur heart bleeds for you. when we con-
slider that you win probably never be
shlc 70 participate in and enjoy our pride
4 eeuntry- where you are, such thing
> impossible. K
