Howland + Goodrich's Plan for the
Prosperity of Merchants and
Customers.
Oakes, N. D., Dec. II 1890.

| O"nSoS Az. OsS DCCs ~ AOOOs
Experience has taught US that
the credit system in a retail business
is, alike, disasterous to both buyer
and seller. Having a firm faith in
the principal. we have firmly decided
to adopt the Cash System, beginning
with this date. BY this system We
can deal justly by all and not be
obliged to charge cash and good
paying customers an additional
profit to cover losses caused BY bad
accounts. We will also save the
labor and expense of bookkeeping
and making up and collecting ac-
counts and you the annoyance of
being urged to pay. We will also
be enabled to discount our bills and
save a large percentage thereby as
we'll as buy cheaper.
We purpose to give you the ben
eft of every one of these items
and good percentage besides.
Knowing that the cash basis is the
true way to do business we shall
adhere to it strictly. Buy for cash
and sell for cash, treating all alike
and we feel confident that having
tried it you will thank US at the end
Of the year for large saving and
the fact that you have no large un.
paid grocery bill,
We make this announcement at
this time as being the most sxpedi.
ent and not wishing to have you
pay cash as long as it lasts with the
impression that We will carry you
afterwards.
We hand you here a list of prices
which is full Of arguments for a
cash business and why you should
patronize us.
We trust that no one will ask US
for credit IN the future as we shall
be obliged to refuse the request.
Wishing you a prosperous and
happy new year and that you may
be spared the annoyance Of long
grocery bill for next year. we are,
Yours Respectfully,
... Rowland & Goodrich.

which went into effect on the Mil.

dampener it must be to a prospsc.
tive investors spirits to approach
the city on a train which Marx
Twain would say should have the
cow-catcher on the hind end to
keep cows from climbing on and
biting the passengers. It is well
that the citizens have sent for arms
and are preparing to stand 4 siege
for if the Indians should approach
Ellendale's train service on sither
road would be Of no assistance in
leaving the country. An OK team
on a prairie schooner would te
about as good.

GONE TO HIS MESSIAH.
Sitting Bull a Good Indian
Now.

Now.
Old Sitting Bull is dead. Last
Sunday the order to arrest him was
given and at once Capt. Fechet with
a troop of cavalry and 40 Indian
police started from Standing Rock.
The two braves Bull Head and Shave
Head who made the arrest lost their
lives III the fight which followed.
An eye witness tells the story as
follows: ...
Despite the early hour, all was astir
in the village, where on every hand
was evidence that a hurried exodus
was contemplated. The ponies of TIE
police were pushed now for all they
were worth, and before Sitting Bulls
dazed adherents had half chance to
realize the situation, dozen Of the
police had pulled their painting ami
mails up short on all sides of the chiefs
abode. No time was wasted in cere-
mony. The proud old medicine man
was hustled out, hoisted on a waiting
pony and in thrice faced toward
civilization. He ragged and spluttered
in furry of rage for a moment, then
Strengthening up shouted hoarsely, not
for help, but command to his follow
ers, Despite the threatening of the
police Winchesters alternately direct
ed to his head and those of his kins-
men. the old medicine man retained
his presence of mind, and with a pow
erful voice continued to direct his
own rescue.
Suddenly there was puff of smoke
beside tepec and the sharp crack of
a Winchester. The.policcman at Sit
ting Bulls right, grasped the chiefs
bride, reeled in the saddle, and toppl-
ing over, was trampled under the hoofs
of the ponies,now all in the mad heller
SHELTER of retreat from the village.
The Shot was instantly answered by a
volley from the police at their blank
eted tribesmen, many of whom were
already mounted and in frenzied pur-
suit. The police volley told with dead
ly effect and the firing in moment
was general OH both sides. Sitting
Bull could be heard in the confusion,
still attempting, though captive, to di-
rect the fight, Raising his gaunt form
he was beckoninghi sons and worriors
on, when, without warning, his body
Strengthened rigidly, then dropped
limp on the prairie.
The police halted round the corps,
not knowing for the moment but it
was trick of the willy old chief. The
sudden movement and the fall of Sit
ting Bull disconserted the pursuers
who, remaining at a distance, sullenly
fired at intervals toward the police,
The latter held their ground, know.
ing the cavalry under Capt. Fechet,
would soon be at hand, To the sur
prise Of all, however, the hostiles, who
had been consulting among themselves
began Il movement to cl ose in from all
sides. The rattle of Winchester was
now redoubled from both parties, the
police using their ponies as protection,
It was at this critical junction that
Capt. Fechet's men dashed up. and the
machine guns, which had been put in
position, opened on the redskins, The
latter was to dismayed at this unex-
pected onslaught to stand even for a
moment, and all bolted for the river.
The cavalry followed onlya short dis
tance, deeming it better policy not to
drive to desperation the now leaderless
mob.
