A Bank Tellor's Lucky Dream.

The undiverted ideas of a dream
may sometimes correct the errors of
the day. A paying teller in a bank
noticed among the line of patrons one
particularly noisy and impatient indi-
vidual, who insisted upon the imme-
date payment of check for $50, as
he could not wait his turn. The teller,
to get rid of his opportunities, paid
him and thought no more of the cir
cumstance. At the end of the fiscal
year the books of the bank showed a
deficiency of $50, and, after a weeks
hard work in trying to make them
balance, he gave the matter up and
drew hts personal check for the
amount. The same night he dreamed,
and the whole circumstance of the.
noisy individual returned to him SO
clearly that he went to the party's ao-
count and found where the money had
been paid and never entered in the
books of interest

WOOL AND MUTTON.

As this is an industry that we al
ways thought well adapted to our
prairie farms, we are pleased to note
a journal is started in Minneapolis, in
the exclusive interest Of this branch
of farming. The first No. of "Wool
and Mutton" is before us. It is a
twenty-four page paper; gotten up in
good mechanical style, and edited by
clear head, G, F. Wright is bust
ness manager, assisted by corps of
able editors. It is monthly issue.
Price, 81 per year.
We heartily endorse this publica-
ton on account of the interest we
feel in our patrons-the farmers of
Stevens county and surrounding
communities earnestly hope to
live to see every farmer in Stevens
county, the owner of a flock of sheep.
Subscriptions can be sent to this
Office and we will see that you get
the paper.

Com pa tment Sleeping Cars.

com pa Cfn2Flt StSSDl1S OdTSs
Our r>aders are familiar with the
guar or Standard sleeping cars
.ns>n the Pullman Company runs on
most Ut he railroads, aud know how
.uxuriously they are furnished.
There is nothing SO good but people
wish for something better, and OBJ
lotions have been made to the sleep
. that privacy was lacking, that the
..Ya50ry accommodations were in
= tf5c;ent, and that two or three per-
Lis OF the gentler sex would take
possession of the dressing-room in
the morning to the delay and annoy
ance of other lady passengers. The
new compartment sleepers on the
trains Of the Burlington Route from
Minneapolis and St. Paul to Chicago
remove these objections. Instead of
the central aisle, with open births on
e1ch side, the car is divided into ten
cosy state-rooms, with doors opening
into corridor on the side of the car.
For half it's length, this corridor is
on the left side, then crosses to the
right five compartments being thus
situated on each side. Each COM
partment contains an upper and low
er berth, arranged in the uaual way,
but the attraction is that it constit-
utesfa room IN itself. A handsome
gas fixture depends from the ceiling
diffusing a soft light into every nook
of the compartment. In one corner
you notice handsome mirror, and
beneath is what looks like a rosewood
box set on end. In the centre of this
box is a convenient nickel-plated
handle. Take hold and pull you
have before you a complete toilet OUT
fit, bowl, faucets for hot and cold
water, ETC., and turning the box up
again empties the bowl of its con-
tents. This is one of the many COM
forts and conveniences that meet you
at every point. AS we said before,
each compartment has a door which
opens into the corridor, but they have
also doors connecting them with each
other, so that two or more can be
made into a suite of rooms, for a
family Or other large party travelling
in company. The furnishings and
fittings of these cars are as tasty and
and exquisite as money and the most
skilled workmanship can make them
and the colors of the plush and pap
ers used in decorating each compart
ment different. For ladies without
escort, or travelling in charge of chill
dren, nothing more retired and
comfortable can be imagined, and on
the Burlington Route trains two
compartments are always reserved for
ladies exclusively. Next time you
go to Chicago, buy your ticker via
the Burlington, and see what these
cars are like.

CLEVELAND AND COMBINES.

CLEVELAND AND COMBINES.
The man Of destiny is a wonder
and surprise TO many. He has
snubbed tha political rings and wire
workers; would make no promises to
heelors, aud told the power that pre-
sumes to dictate to the democratic
party throughout the nation, that he
would see them be d ID before he
would make any promises to them.
And yet he was elected by an over
whelming majority. And since then
has shown his Independence in the
formation OF his cabinet and in many
other ways, Ia short, he shows that
he IS master Of the situation and
means to Stay there. -- r..
Before his four years are up, it
looks as if he would remodel the
democratic party; breathe On tao Cry
bones and cause them TO start into

he can 10 anything with the polite

Ii this be the power Of the man, and
If his desire be 10 make this great
nation greater, why should he not
take another and new step and
tackle the combines? Combination
OF capital is the greatest ISSUE OF the
present day, and threatens the lber-
ties Of the people. We do not like to
be pessimistie, but when combinations
crush olt all competition, what is
left but combined capital to OWL

QUEER USE For A COFFIN.


Turned Into a Cupboard After FriEbt-
ening "A sool tag Wife.
At Golfers cottage in Staffordshire
a coffin is used as cupboard in which
bread and cheese and other necessaries
Of life are kept according to the Lon :
don TimsA
The coffin. 1t seems was ordered
eighteen years ago by the master of
the cottage and has been in use ever
since. He and his wife used to have
y good many words aud one oay she
exclaimed to her husband: "I'll new.
err be content till l see thee in thy eof-
fin" ~
We'll. lass" returned the latter,
IF that'll content thee it'll soon be
done"
Next day he gave directions for lis
coffin to be made. and in few days
when it came home. he got into 1t ana
said: Now, lass, art thou contentP"
She began to cry at this and waut-
ed the horrid thing taken away; bat
this her husband would not allow.
In the end she became accustomed
to It's presence and. so that it might
be turned into some account shelves

and it was thus ternsd iato a useful
and original sort Of cupboard.
And it is satisfactory to know that

ABOLISH CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

A bill to abolish capital punish
ment has been recommended tospass
the legislature, by a committee of
the whole. If this is a good law,
why not go farther and strip the
Governor of his pardoning power?
In state Ike this, where the cover
nor has the power of life and d ath
in his hands, there can be no. sur
ance that the criminal will get his
Just deserts. We have known a
governor, on the last day of his term,
to turn seventeen criminals loose on
the community.
If hanging is to be abolished, let
there be a strong board of pardons
appointed, who would be harder to
influence than oneman. There can be
so many influences brought to bear
that it is very hard for one man to
resist them all. The statistics of
Saltwater show this fact most con-
clusively, where much less than one
per cent of the lifers die in prison.
This pardoning power, in it's abuse,
is responsible for nearly ali the lynch
ings that disgrace the country. If
men knew that life convict would
remain in prison for his natural life
it would satisfy them, in most cases.
We would advise the Legislature to
go slow in abolishing hanging until a
safeguard is thrown around the COM
munitY.

Amusing Experience OF the Driver Of a

Amusing Experience of the Driver Of a

CURED on Broad street, Philadelphia,
one day in which one of the drivers for

which has caused considerable amuss-
ment among the attaches of ths estab.
Hshnent when related.
A new wagon was added to the large

abreast. Myera was pro ieeding up
Broad street with load of goods piled
within the big curtained vehicle, when
suddenly lady stepped out from the
sidewalk aad motioned the driver to
stop, which, however, he did not at
once do. Then she, in tons of com
mand, cried out:
''Hey, there, why don't you stop"
What for?" asked Ben, as he refined
up.
"Why,. 1 want to get in, of course, ("
advancing.
Now, here was a pretty pickle for a
fellow to be in, and yet not altogether
unpleasantp prospect of having day of
toll turned into an incident of romance.
It was dispslled, though, for as the
driver began to accommodatingly make
room for the fair stranger ON the seat
beside him, she said, with some show
of snap:
mo, sir: il the seats inside are taken,
I'll wait for the next bus" ek
Then it was all clear to Myers. aud
the thought Of his team being taken
for one of the Broad-street buses SO
convulsed him that he is said to have
shaken the knobs off the bureaus on
the wagon aud made the hair in the
mattresses stand or end.
