Thanksgiving day was stormy and dreary,
but Notwithstanding the beating rain all the
good people went to church and offered up
thanks and .,raises N hies-si.sss- or the
past year. The sensation of the day was the
sermon preached by the Rev. DIR Newton,
of the Metropolitan NJ e. church This rev.
erend gentleman was General Grants
pastor, and received much notoriety on
account of his appointment as Inspector OF
ConsuIates duriug General Grants second
term, and subsequen ly by his persistency
in holding to a passionate of an Influential
church after the congregation decided not
to support him, unless he severed his rela-
lions with the Methodist church and entered
wholly into the Congregational fold. The
doctors sermon on Thanksgiving day was
national in theme, and savored strongly Of
Know Nothingism, and set up such stand
ard of qualifications for holding Office that
few, IL any, except American-born citizens
could be recognized as eligible to office The
doctor attracts as large audiences as during
the Grant Admi ist ration, ard has lost
none of his vim and force oftheoi0gy by the
lapse of time. .f.... .r.... ..-r.s

clans tookiplace in the Merchants the
othe r day between Representative
George F. Potter of Houston, an old
veteran, and Senator elect Keller
from Stearns county. They had ne.
yer met, and were introduced 10 each
other, the former as from Houston
county, "Ah," said Keller; "Hous-
ton county? Let me see-little
Houston county?'' Potter's face
flushed as he roared back: mo. sir!
Big Houston county. that overlays
Stearns county every time.' 1t was
Keller's turn to get mad now. He
paused moment, and then drew
himself up proudly rs he replied:

Protection Against Fire and I hieves
The safe deposit vaults of the National

people, affording an absolutely safe place in
which to deposit their valuable papers, ETC.,
such as contracts, bonds, notes. deeds. alb
stracts of title, insurance policies. life insur-
ance, jeWelry, silver plate, etc., each customer
being provided with private box to which
he alone holds the key. The boxes are all
provided with the latest and most approved
locks. No person can enter the vault eX-
cept with the cuStodin, and neither he nor
the renter can open any box except by
combined use of their separate keys. These
features provide against any danger of
fraud. A box 215X5, % incnes deep. is
rented at the very low price of SIS year,
and larger ones in proportion. The boxes
are all enclosed in steel vault inches
thick, and that in a wall 2 feet thick, built
of fire brick and closed with two massive
steel doors. Provided with a time lock,
that cannot be opened between the hours of
6 o'clock in the evening and o'clock next
morning, we know the conveniency and Sc
curity of these Vaults, and would advise no
person to keep their private and valuable
papers in a desk or bureau drawer while
they can get private box in these vaults
for such a small sum.

which grew a thrifty mustache. was noticed
in the rotunda of the Merchants yesterday,
He was en- route to New York, his head
quarters, from Cook City. Mont, in the
vicinity of which he has been for several
weeks past. Mr.. Sims is president of the
Billings. Clarke'S Fork and Cook City
railroad The proposed line will run from
Billings to Clark'S Forks and Cook City.
Spurs will reach out into the mining dis
trlcts If the road is built it will be neces
sary to carry it through the Crow reserva-
ton, and the company is only waiting
for permission from the government to
push the work. The districts through
which the line has been surveyed are ex-
ceedingly rich in agricultural and mineral
resources. and the grazing lands are extern
sive and valuable. Mr.. Sims said that the
cattle ranges were now eaten pretty close,
but the cattle were looking splendidly. In
his travels he saw upwards of 60, 900 head,
and they were all in first-class condition.

taken to publish paper in the Norwegian
language. He has hired a Norwegian
editor, and sets the type himself. He says
he has no trouble, as he only has to follow
copy and the thing balances right. He
protested to be suffering from dearth of
news, but quietly insinuated that the con-
greSsional fight in the Third district didn't
belong to anybody in particular at the
present time. The News establishment is
now publishing three monthies and two
weeklies and Joel, as the manager, has no
time to monkey with the political string.

An Agent Assaults His Employer
With n PitchfOrk and a Hatchet.
Unusual excitement prevailed at the home
of II. B. Taylor at 1913 East Seventh street
yesterday afternoon, occasioned by j. d.
Munich, an agent employed by Mr.. Taylor,
seizing pitchfork and attempting to as
sault Mr.. Taylor with it. A. n. Barringer
took the pitchfork away from Mr.. Munich,
whereupon the latter seized Ratchet. Mrs.
Taylor relieved the man of this weapon.
MIR. Barrnger called Officer Getschel, who
promptly arrested Munich and charged him
with assault and battery.
At the police station Mr.. Munich said the
trouble was caused by sale of real estate
for $500, which amount he had neglected
to put up with Mr.. Taylor, much against
the latter's will. He was vely abusive, and
when searched, S145 was found upon him.
Mr.. Taylor explained that Munich was his
agent, and had been in the habit of making
sales for him, and spending the money in
stead of reporting the transaction. He
said that Munich had received the $500
earnest money on a sale and at once pro-
ceeded to spend it, when he discovered it.
and spoke to Munich about it. Munich i'm
mediateiy attempted to assault him.
