The Hardware CHANGE.

The transfer of the Chandler hard
ware stock to the new firm of Booth
Bros. took place Saturday, G. t. Chan
dler being present to assist in the in
voice. Will Snow, jr., who is thor
oughly posted in the business and who
has been the mainstay of the old firm,
will remain with their successors. In
fact, the store would not seem natural
without the energetic Snow on deck.
Miss Chandler, the efficient bookkeeper
for the past two years, has received an
offer of fine position at Sioux Falls,
which she will probably accept. OF
the old firm, q. L. Chandler will con-
tinue his traYels for his Chicago house,
while II. e. has not yet fully decided
on his future plans. The REPUBLICAN
hopes he may remain in Mitchell where
he stands away up as an enterprising
and honorable business man.

Seven Liquor Dealers.
District attorney Hannett secured
temporary injunctions from Judge
Trip on Thursday and had them
served on Friday upon the following
liquor dealers whom he alleges have
been selling liquor contrary to law:
Fred Widmann. Harry Leonard,
Jacob Koch, Ed. Tctten, j. G. Martin,
Gus Linser. and James Gormely.
The injunctions are set for hearing
on the 14th inst, when these parties will
be required to show cause why the
injunctions should not be made per-
manent. Mr.. Hannet says that, While
he is determined to enforce the law
against liquor selling, he is not dis
posed to push an action against any
dealer who has disposition to quit
the business in good faith. Fred Wild
mann, who has been selling at whole
sale, says he thinks he has right to
under the law, but if the court decides
against him, he will give up his busi-
ness here. James Gormely, it is also
understood, will closeup at once.

Curiosities Of friendship would cover
nearly all cases of noted masculine or
feminine affinities the world has known.
The law that governs friendship has often
been stated. A general impression is that
opposites match, mate and cooperate moro
readily than similar temperaments.
Goethe could form q friendship most
readily with children. Strong natures
ike phable natures. Highly intellectual
people find necessary rest with those of
less intellect and more emotion. There
was philosophy in the keeping of testers
or tools" by those who were burdened
by affairs Of state. Walter Scott loved
nothing so well as his dogs. George
Eliot's friendships were for men. Blondes
are said to prefer brunettes, and bru-
nettes blondes.-Globe-Dem

A Suggestion for 1nventors.


The Railroad Gazette, referring to the
numerous patents on car couplers, and
the difficulty experienced by the railroad
officials in determining the lines of the
future standard Janney type coupler.
quotes the sayings of facetious master
mechanic. He suggests that car coupler
inventors should turn their attention to
an automatic locomotive engineer-one
who would never look on the cup when it
is read, never lose time, never have leaky
Hues or q hot box, and never misread Or
ders have a collision or stick in snow

vention would attract the attention of our
great railroad monopolists and fulfill q
long felt want, especially if it could be
warranted to run 200 miles after q nickel
had been inserted in the slot.-Scientifc

run into catarrh. Or into pneumonia.
Or into consumption.
Catarrh is disgusting. Pneumonia

there is trouble ahead.

Woman in Switzerland.

Some persons seem to find much COM
fort in the statement shat Swiss women
dispute the most lucrative trades with
men; but really before bowling down and
worshiping the. country of economy, It
will do no harm to remember that tho
women also dispute the work of agrieult-
ure with the men and even with the ant
mails. There is no gallantry or chivalry
about Swiss at home. He rs said 10 be
