Harvey Moore, who travels this
state all over, and has keen eye for
observation, saws that there are more
;dogskin overcoats worn in the streets
of Sank Centre. than in all the rest Of
the state combined. He says it is al.

wearing adogskin coat: "How are times
in Sank Centre?" It is dollars to dough-
nuts you will get straight answer.
The Christmas exercises at the vari-
Gus churches were very pleasing to those
who attended. Special services were
held in each of the places of worship in
the morning, and in the evening the
members of the Episcopal and Congre-
gational Sunday schools each gave a
concert. The Methodist Sunday school
celebrated the day with appropriate ex-
ercises on Christmas evening, the chill
dren showing the result of thorough
training by their instructors.
The city council very wisely disposed
ofa case which promised to be both an
moving and expensive. A Mrs. Lynch
and her six-year-old daughters were
destitute, and either the city had to re-
sumo the responsibility and expense of

was adopted, and ticket was secured
for her for less than fifty dollars and she
left for her native home.

There IS possibility of STRIKE
among the employees of the Northern
Pacihc road, owing to a proposed GU
in wages after January. The officials
have caused an order to be issued from
the court, enjoining the men from inter
fering with the pursuit of the business
OF the company in any way, and tn
men are very much d1spleased at tn
move. Grievance committees are in ses
sion with the officials but nothing goo
for the men has as yet resulted. While
strike would have very little effect upo
Sank Centre, it would bring busint IS t
a stand still in many places in the NORTH
west.
