EDITOR BoTTlNEAu PIONEER,
Bottineau, N. D.
Dear Sir: Hearing that certain black
mailing tongues are giving circulation to
some SANDER about Mrs. NJ. McBain's
disease last December. apparently in Or
der to hurt her moral character. it is my
duty as her attending physician to declare
that this rumor is originating from the
degenerated brain of some shallow-minded
liar who in all probability never had an
honestly contracted disease himself.
and l am ready to throw my gauntlet in
the face of any person daring to express
an opinion different from my own about
the real cause and nature of that illness.
Respectfully yours,
LuNELL.

Commissioner Russell In Luck.

H. R. Russell is in luck despite the
hard times. On the 2oth ult., there came
to his home a young lady whose future
mission--for a number of years at least
will be to keep Henry awake nights and
hustling days. to keep Mrs. Russell from
getting any work done except attending to
her ladyship. and in fact, to lord it over
the household generally. But the genial
chairman of the county board don't seem
worried over the prospect. SO we hasten to
extend congratulations.
