A CARD.-We learn that there is an impression
among some of our old friends and pa
irons that our Mr. H. T. MILLER has retired from
the business of manufacturing Gentlemen's I'm
derwear. This impression is created doubtless by
an INGENIOUS ADVERTISEMENT sent out through
the mail of the old shirt books and measures sold
by the trustee Of the late VIM. Mitchell & Co.
We will state that the trustee wanted to sell us
those books, but we did not want them, nor did
we need them at any price. What we want is
yoatr esteemed orders, NOT YOUR MEASURE, and
if we don't please and suit you it is our fault not
yours.
We are deeper in the business than ever before
and with greater facilities every way, and await
your esteemed favors.

BISMARCK, N. D., Dec. 19.-The Prohi-
bition bill was called up in the senate
yesterday afternoon and after bitter
fight was passed by vote OF 90 to 8. It
was hurried to the house where the
amendment was concurred in and the
bill passed. Before it could pass the
Senate it was necessary to strike ont tine
emergency CLAUSE putting it in ttfect May
1st. II now takes the regular course and
will go into effect July 1st.
Senator Fuller introduced joint reso-
tion for the amendment Of the conatitu-
ticn by striking out all of the Prohibition
articleg. The supporters of this resolu-
ton say the fact that the Prohibitory bill
passed by 90 large majority is not good
ground for believing that the proposed
amendment will have no strength. They
say many members who believe that the
Prohibition ARTICLE in the constitution
should be enforced are in favor of sub
mitting the proposition for amendment
believing that the proposition was not
fairly presented at the last election.

Corporations Guarding Against a
Repetition of the Patterson Rob-
berry,
The recent bold robbery OF ex.District-
attorney Patterson in broad daylight has
has had the effect OF making those who
hays 20 handle large sums of cash more
careful than ever. This is particularly
the cssa with the paymssters Of large cor
porations who have now adopted greater
safeguards to prevent the repetition o.
the Patterson incident. One firm always
sends its paymsster and one or two as.
sistants to bank on payday in coupe or
wagon in which the money. bag is securely
fastened, while the paymaster is always
eloae by with pietol in his pocket.
III fgot most Of the large corporations
have man present with revolver when
ever they handle these large Gums Of
money. There are generally no less
than three clerks present when the money
is prooured from the bank, thus making
ono Of these bold daylight rcbheriss
nlnost an impossipiiity. The fact that
in this age OF civilization man must
walk around with loaded pistol in broad
daylight to prevent his property from
beng stolen from him, does not increase
ones faith in human nature.
