If this man had known Just what
these things were that were sprung
in his face he would not have been
frightened.
Most men are ignorant Of quality
in WOODEN goods, and unless the
price is large fear they will get in
ferior goods.
We showed an old customer fine
overcoat. He liked it, but when he
heard the price was afraid it was not
very good. He took our word for
it and was satisfied.
We showed another man a suit of
fine imported goods. He could find
no fault with it except the price;
said he was afraid it was not good,
because he did not see how reliable
suit could be sold at the price. He
went away and probably paid more
money for poorer suit.

are con the make" exclusively. In his
division and other sclemes-cven when
the interests of "the people" of his
town were opposed to his own--the boss
of the Outfit, non resident himself, has
tried to move the bona-fide, permanent
citizens of this county as he would pieces
on chess-board. To argue with man
or men of this kind would be of no avail.
And on this account many of our para
graphs regarding the Outfit have been
more pointed than polite. But no reader
of this paper can truthfully say that he
has ever seen u line within its columns
of character to be denoted by the word
filth" In dealing with Douglas Minor,
however, we admit that our action has
been on the principle that ga short horse
is soon curried," and that argument with
one who couldn't comprehend it would
be casting pearls before swine"
Finally, George, we desire to say that,
although we do not profess, as you5 to
hold "the people" in the hollow of our
hand, yet, if ''Bilr' Wade runs for sher-
if, you will doubtless find that on the day
of election they will say, as the RECORD
now says, 1--WE leve him for the enemies

Miss Writ Is a daughter of the Rev. Da-

peculiarly happy one, for it gives Mr.. W.

The bridegroom is poet the easy flow of
whose meter has brought to his stanzas
much favorable criticism. 1t is said that
marriage spoils the poet; but we trust
that this instance may prove an excep-

O MY! Pumpkin Pie.

As will be seen by their advertisement
elsewhere in this issue, Messrs. Sig. Han
auer & Co., the enterprising proprietors
of the st. Paul One-Price Clothing
House, Bismarck, are to have grand
Pumpkin Festival at the Capital City on
Wednesday, Oct. 6. On that occasion the
several prizes offered by the firm some
months ago, at the time of their kindly
furnishing our farmers with free pump,
kin seeds, will be distributed. There will
be pumpkin pies of all kinds provided,
and nothing will be left undone to make
the entertainment thoroughly enjoyable
to the guests. The Bismarck City Band
has been engaged for the occasion, which
insures good music. There is no more
enterprising and public-spirited firm
in the Northwest than that of Sig. Han
auer & Co., and citizens of Emmons
County who can possibly be present al
the festival should do so.

We propose to make this the event of
the season, and this festival will be both novel
and interesting-novel because the finest Pump
kin Pies known to the skill of modern caterers
will be served alongside of those made i'll accord
ance with the time-honored custom ofour grand
mothers; interesting because it will bring to-
gether people from all sections of the country
and give them an opportunity to pass n few
pleasant hours together. The services of the
bismarck City Band have been secured, and it is
orr intention to make this grand holiday for
the people Of the Missouri Slope. Bring in your
Pumpkins at any time you find it convenient,
though we hope to have them all in before the
day of our festival, as we desire on that day to
devote all our attention to the entertainment of
our guests.

Unfair, as Usual.


The sour visaged Winchester crank
who was won't last winter to fill the col
umns of the Winona Times with malic-
ious rantings, is again con deck" This
time his twaddle is more irrational and
nonsenslcal than ever. He probably in
tends to crlticisc something said by the
editor of the RECORD; but, as usual, his
Unborn malice and natural hatred of his
ncighbor gets him off the track, and he
winds up on Bumstead. This is what he
says:
For the benefit of the public will say that 1
am informed that there is fi,mily in the Hol-
land settlement who have received provision
from the county since the fore part of last win
Ter, and that family is holding two claims and
appears TO have money, as they have purchased
a team this summer and are doing ordinary farm
work. This is being accomplished I understand,
through the efforts of Mr. Bumstead. Perhaps
the people Of Emmons County like this way OF
managing county affairs. If they do, their vote
will show IL this fall.
The above is on par with the petty
lneanness and unfairncss always to be

correspondent can get the bile out of his
systemlong enough to give his brain an d
better nature chance. he will see that
it is the DUTY of the County Board to
provide for the needy poor; that, where
q case of destitution is reported, the only
way to obtain the facts is to send an
agent to investigate that Mr.. Bumstead,
being present at the Board session, was
requested to make such investigation
that number of residents of the Holland
settlement sent word to the Board that
the family referred to we're in actual
need of the necessarics Of life, and that
they (their neighbors) were too poor to
assist them. Whereupon the Board in
structed Mr.. Bumstcad to procure for the
family such articles as were absolutely
necessary. This was precisely the action
that had. been taken in previous case,
the only difference being that an other
man than Bumstead had been sent to in
vestigatc.
Now, if, in granting relief in the case
complained OF by the Winchester CORE.
spondent wrong action was taken, it was
through the statements of the alleged
needy family to Mr.. B. and through the
representations of their neighbors to the
County Board, which it was the duty OF
any one having contrary knowledge to
deny. That is all there is to it, as it ap.
pear to US. If the complaining CORE.
spondent knew that the members of the
family were wrongfully obtaining aid
from the county, we submit that it was
his duty as a citizen to Immediately report
such knowledge to the Commissioners.
The fact OF his having kept quiet for
months, and then making charge just
on the threshold of political campaign,
certainly will not serve to strengthen his
case with an intelligent and justice-loving
public.

MY WIDOW.

She was the meehest and most docile
little parsonage you ever saw. That, of
course, was before she became my wild
ow.
How could she become my widow,
when I'm here alive and fourishing, to
tell my own story? Just wait until I've
finished, and you will see.
She was very pretty, too, with pink
apple cheeks, and eyes of that peculiar
translucent bcryl-green that you see so
seldom, slender 1.-the figure, and step
as noiseless as if she wore the famous
shoes OF silence. There was something
cat-like about her-at least, so Fitz-
Brown sand, but Fitz-Brown was always
prejuiced against Lucila.
depend upon it, old fellow, she's
married you for your money" said Fitz-
Brown. 1T doesn't stand to reason
that girl of eighteen should tie herself
to fat old heather Of lifty-four unless
there is some such motive lurking un-
derneath.
"Fitz-Brown," l broke in irritably,
"you're a fool!'
II may be a fool" answered that
gentleman calmly, "but a single fool is
not SO bad as a married fool, in any
point of view you choose to take"
There was no use arguing with Fitz
Brown. He was stubborn, opinion
ated old fellow at best, and he was de,
termined not to like Lucilla from tho
very first. How he did eXult when he
came down to my Office and told me
that Harry Sykes was spending the eve,

young good-for-naught who had beer
wont to hang around her before We
were married. And Lucilla had tolt

mother.
Nevertheless put on bold face.
"Well, let him spend the evening, u
said 1. "Vhere's the harm?"
"Yes; but-but the curtains were mo-

him to sit on the same sofa, with hi

had departed, and Lucilla was daninl

"Yes, JOSIAH" said my wife; "Harr!
is rather tiresome."

THE RIVAL WIDOWS.

She was very pretty little widow,
and, though nearly forty. with a com
pleXion as fresh as though she had been
fifteen years younger, and hair OF love-
ly golden yellow, disposed about her
head in series of curls, which was
simply ravishing.
She was evidently vain of it, for she
never passed mirror without glancing
at it, and if there happened to be any
disorder or unbecomingness, she would
hasten to her room to remedy it..
At least so Mrs. Langley said; but
then, some of the ladies whispered
among themselves that Mrs. Langley,
the tall, handsome brunette widow, was
jealous of Mrs. Belton.
There were but two or three unmar-
ried men at the Lake hotel Of an age
suited to these fair widows, and Of them
the major was by far the most import
ant.
Time and again had be appeared
smitten with the charms of some fair
lady, and time and again drawn back
just as the fact was becoming patent to
the lookers-on.
This time, however, the major was
undeniablY smitten. Some said that he
was in love with the golden locks of the
blonde widow, while others insisted that
the dark eyes OF Mrs. Langley had won
him captive.
The major himself was evidently up-
decided upon the subject, being alter
nately in attendance on one or the other.
And so the two ladies', beneath sur.
face OF politeuess, were at daggers points
with each other. Tie brunette widow
was certain that, had she the field to
herself, she could bring the major to
her feet with little trouble.
She was thinking, as with her little
pet dog beside her, she reclinel upon
her lounge at the time of the afternoons S
| siesta.
The day was warm, and the doors of
all the ladies' apartments opening upon
the corridor were ajar. Most of the
fair inmates were taking their beauty
sleep.
'"Lie still, Puck" she said, as the
silky little spaniel awoke from his nap
and became restless.
Puck submitted for a few minutes,
and then, noiselessly sliding to the floor,
slipped out into the passage and sought
amusement in his own way.
II was not five minutes after this that
Puck's mistress aroused from the begin
