Some Dakota husbands kick because

Sir William Cunliffe Brooks has just
purchased deer forest of $4,000 acres
in Scotland. He paid 100000 for it.
Still there are people in Scotland who

Stephen A. Douglas is said to realize
only about $500 year from the planta-
tion in Mississippi which cost his father
$115, 000.' He evidently does not spend
as much time on the plantation as has
father did-too FOND of city life.

Miss Olive Buchanan, of st. Louis, is
the first woman IN the United States to
hold the office of United States deputy
marshall If she IS like the majority of
her sex she will have more to say than
the marshal himself. Give her lots of
room.
You can get, 100 acres of land in Sa-
moa for 81 81 and the taxes will be only
80 cents year. Here is chance for
Sam johnson to get rich out Of politics.
Perhaps he could carry the detunct club
of which he is president along for few
months more.
Mrs. Ann Hyde is the oldest pen
sioner in the United States She is the
widow of veteran of the war of 1912.
Recently she celebrated her 101st birth
day. She makes no attempt to conceal
her age.' She knows her business; be-
sides she does not seem anxious to get
married again, like the average widow.

1t is announced that the marriage of
Miss Winnie Davis, daughter of ex-
President Jefferson Davis, of the con-
federacy, and Alfred Wilkinson, Of SYRIA
cuse, will take place early in June at
the home of the Davis family in Missis-
sippi.' It is to be hoped the report is
true. Miss Davis will not have so much
idle time on her hands then, and the
rebel flag will not be waved SO often: in
the South.
Sam johnson has either gone South or
to the woods. for his sweet voice has not
been heard on the political platform for
many days. Sam was always modest.
but not too modest to refrain from blow
ing his own horn whenever he had a
chance. It must be that those supposed
friends of his did not come up with
funds to meet the clubs expenses and
left Sam to shoulder the responsibility
Resolutions OF sympathy would now be
in order.
Denver, Colo, has an incorporated
stock company OF women who have
undertaken the development Of sum-
mer resort at Diana park, forty miles
from that city. It is designed especially
for the comfort of women, children and
families Denver must be poor town
for dudes No wonder it's base ball team
cannot play ball. Give the women a
chance and see what they will accom-
plish. Shoestrings to peanuts that there
will be no boodling there.

Dog Catcher Lovely has no complaints
to make about dull times. His stock,
though not always in style, is saleable at
good figures, either as live barking goods
or material for sausage. Meat Inspector
Davis proposes to include this important
feature of "retrenchment and reform" in
his next monthly report. BY that time
some people will be able to say that
sausage is no better or worse than it has
always been. Tt would be we'll for Min
neapolis that the same could be said of
her city council.
