A Bridgeport bride decided not to accept her husband after she had gone as far as the altar rail the other day. She had good reason, however sue was so late that the groom had become angry, and she ovt r. heard him swearing violently beneath his breath. She approached and stood very pale and still as the minister asked If she would love, cherish and obey ;" but there was no iudt ion iu her answer as sue ut- tered the words, Not by a long shot Then she walked from the church, to tLe dismay of the bridgegIoom. The groom promises never to swear again If the young woman will go through the second half of the ceremony.

 MASON < HAMLN ORGANS AND PIANos.- The improved method of fastening the strings of pianos, invented by the Mason & Hamlin Organ and Piano Company in the year 1882, is unquestionably one of the most important improvements ever made, making the instru- | mn in fAc as more durable, and much less liable to get out of tune.
 Both the Mason & Hamlin organs excel chiefly in that which is the chief excellence in any musical instrument, quality of tsne. Other things, though important, are much less so than this. An instrument with unmusical tones cannot be good musical instrument. Illustrated catalogues, containing descriptions of new and popular styles of organs and pi- amos, introduced this season, will be sent free to any one addressing the company, Boston, New York or Chicago.

TARIFF NOT 4 TAX.

A simple free trade argument Is mnde by adding the duty on foreign article to the cost of producing similar domestic article and asserting that this IS the price of the latter, and that therefore the duty Is so much tax on the consumer of the do- mestic product. The difficulty with the argument is cue that 1t Can never recover from. It Is simple, bold, intentional un- truth. The tariff duty Is not added to the price If the domestic article. H. is not paid by the consumer. On the contrary, by building mp tactorits s, stimulating en- terprise and reducing competition, prices are lowered by the tariff. Here are some illustrations of the fact tlat protected goods grow cheaper. Before there was a prot, ctive tariff on salt it sold tor 40 cents bushel; 1t is now selling for cents a bushel. In 1867 the price of ton of steel rails was $166; now steel rails can be bought for from 1928 to $50 ton. In 1875 plate glass sold for 98 cents foot, and now 1t sells for 33 cents. When tho country had low tariff pig iron sold for about $31 ton now the price is SIS. Pottery has gone down one half. We use good deal of soda ash in this country for making glass and for bleaching. In 1884, when we i'm. port it, the price was $4S ton. 4 duty of $5 d ion was imposed upon it, aud the price has fallen to 1928 ton. The duty on square yard of calico is 43 cents, more than the wholesale price of the cloth. Here Is a s a ement about pair of five pound blankets which will be interesting to m st of our readers

In looking over Appleton's new
Standard Geography, which is now
in use in VI public schools, we find
the following about Dakota.
Dakota is a large territory with a
sparse but rapidly increasing popu-
lation. It containe tho best Of wheat
lands, timber on the banks Of streams,
abundant game for the hunter and
trapper, and valuable deposits of
gold and other minerals in the Black
Hills regions. Agriculture and min
ing are the leading industries.
Yankton, the capital, and largest
city, has connections with Iowa and
the east by railroad, and with the
principal Missouri; river ports by
steamboat. Deadwood Is the depot
of the mining district"
Before issuing another edition, we
suggest that the publishers send
some one out here and find out a
little something about Dakota.
There isn't a child in the primary
room of our public schools but
knows more about Dakota than
they can learn in this geography,

The county commissioners met in
regular session yesterday, it being
the first quarterly meeting for the
new year. II is scarcely necessary
to mention the old members Of the
board, Messrs. Knudson and Will

found O. X. in all respects. They
have proved themselves capable and
efficient officers. The new member
from the first district, MI. D. r.
Pelnel, should receive some men,
ton or introduction to the people Of
the northern part Of the county.
While Mr.. Pennel is an old resident
of the county, owing to his retired
and modest disposition, he is not
as well known, perhaps, as the two
other gentlemen on the board. The
editor of this paper, who has known
Mr.. Pennel for the past fifteen years
can say that he is a gentleman Of
good education, fine business ability
and answering integrity, combin-
ing all the necessary qualifications
for a first class Commissioner. His
neighbors and all who know him
will bear us out in this statement.
We predict for him one of the most
Industrious and valuable members
of the Board.
