Reatty's Organs and Pianos.

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, of Washington,
New Jersey, the great Organ and
Piano manufacturer, is building and
shipping more Organs and Pianos than
ever. Ir 1870 Mr.. Beatty left home a
penniless plow boy, and by his indomit-
able will he has worked his way up so as
to sell SO far, nearly 100000 of Beatty's
Organs and Pianos since 1870. Nothing
seems to dishearten him; obstacles laid
in his way, that would have wrecked an
ordinary man forever, he turns to an
advertisement and comes out of it bright
er than ever. His Instruments, as is
well known, are very popular and are to
be found in all parts the world. We are
informed that during the next ten years
he intends to sell 100000 more Of his
make; that means business Of SO 000,-
coo, if we average them at $4,000 each.
1t is already the largest business of the
kind in existence. Write oe call upon
Daniel F. Beatty, Washington, New
Jersey, for catalogue.

A Birthday Gathering.

Last Monday evening was gala night
at the residence of Mrs. r. NJ. Harvey
in this city. It was the occasion Of the
goth anniversary of the birth Of Miss
Fanny Russell, one of Williston's most
charming young ladies. The event was
celebrated in very pleasing and ap-
propriate manner, though somewhat in
the form of surprise party, for the
simultaneous gathering Of about thirty
young people, unheralded, at the aiore-
said residence, where the young lady
resides, was indeed surprise to Miss
Fanny-buta very gratifying one. The
birthday presents showered upon Miss
Russell were numerous and beautiful,
and all of the latest patterns and designs.
OF course, an event Of this kind could
not pass without thes!11susl,s z J. asl festivities
and therefore music and dancing were
INDUCED in until about 2 O'Clock in the
morning, when an appreciable feast was
served, and partaken of by the guests
with a relish that would have done cred
it to famishing red-skin. The occasion
was one that will long be remembered
by Miss Russell, and the beautiful pres
ents bestowed upon her will be retained
as precious mementos of the happiest
event of her life.

Speak Well of Your Own Town.

Take pride in your town, says the St..
Paul Trade Journal. There are too
many who decry their own city. Are
you one Of that kind?
There will always be croakers. The
average croaker is an unsuccessful busi'
ness man. If man finds his trade leav-
ing him he never blames himself. He
generally lays his non-success to- the
town.
No matter how one-horse your( town
ssnay, be, be thankful that h~jsp,t ! 'one-
jackass town, and put your best efforts
forward to make it a two-horse tdNt !.
If every tradesman and mechanic wotha
pursue such tactics the town would soon
be a four-horse-and-dog under-the- wag-
on town.
1t is usually the case that croaking is
unjustitied, and there is plenty of evil
dence that it is positive harm to the
town. The man who hears you speak
disparagingly of your town may never
see it, and because you belitte it, he
may be prevented from visiting it, He
may also prevent others from so doing.
There's lots of capital waiting for invest
ment to-day, Possibly some of it could
De used advantageous'y in your town,
but if that town is full of croakers, none
of that ca pital will 60 there. No capital
lSt will invest in = town whose peOn1e
have no proper pride in its renown.
Once in a while l find shoe dealer
who, when asked how business is, says
it is null. Sometimes he uses strong
and irreverent adiectival phrase to en-
pbasize the dullness. Then he launches
forth the idea that the place is dead
town any way. Do you want to know
my opinion of that man? I believe he
has done more than his share to kill it.
II he tells me that the town is unenter-
prising, believe be has done his level
best to drive enterprise away. Take no
stock in the unpatriotic man. He will
never be benefit to any town, state or
| nation.
The kicEers are the greatest stumbling
blocks in the paths OF progress. Don't
Join the ranks of the calamity hoWlers.
Don't you know that the easiest way tC

WILLIAMS COUNTY,
A Brief Description OF It's Great
Inducements to Settlers.

WILLIAMS COUNTY is the extreme
Northwest county Of the State of North
Dakota, with the Missouri River forming
it's southern boundary, and it has river
frontage Of about 250 miles. The County
covers an area Of nearly 4,500 square
miles, and embraces about 3,00D,OOG
acres of excellent farming and grazing
lands. About one-half of the County is
underlaid with superior quality Of
Ignite Coal, which is found in stratas
varying from three feet to twenty feet
in thickness. There are also numerous
beds of sulphur Of extra fine quality.
The soil is rich and durable, and BY rea,
son of the peculiar formation of the sur
face Of the country, irrigation is rendered
both practicable and cheap. Cereals of
all kinds and vegetables flourish here iL
abundance, and always pay the produces
d handsome margin for his labor.
AS stock-ralsing country WilliamE
County is equal to any other region in
\she western states. Hay and shelter are
fouVd in abundance along the Missouri
river and the small streams running
through the interior of the county
Williams County offers the most adj
vantageous inducements to settlers by
its famous stock raising ranges, and it's
OWL cheap lu6l III WOOQ ana COal. 1uG
winters are mild, and all classes Of stock
graze out on the ranges nearly the entire
season through, requiring but very little
extra feeding. All kinds Of building
material and excellent clay for brick
making can be found in many localities
throughout the county.
Financially, Williams County is abso--
lutely out of debt, there being not q
dollar OF bonded Indebtedness, nor any
outstanding warrants, as shown by the
official statement Of the County Auditol
and Treasurer on July LIST, 1895. =
WILL1STON, the County Seat of Wil-e
liams County, is beautifully located on
the Great Northern Railroad, with the
Missouri River washing its southern
limits, and situated only twenty miles
from Fort Buford.
Williston has two hotels, six stores, two
saw mills, tirst-class blacksmith and
wagon shop, two meat markets. one
newspaper and job printing Office, four
restaurants, two dress-making shops, q
carpenters shop, two brick yards, bar
ber-shop, two churches, school house.
a court house and Jail, two billiard halls.
and four sample rooms. 1t is the freight
division Of the Great Northern Railroad !,
with it's roundhouse and shops located
here. In fact, the volume of business
transacted here will compare tavorahlX
with any town Of its siZ3 in the northwest.

Governor Clough was much touched
by the visit, and his eyes were wet, but
he felt that his duty required him to say
'No''4and that same afternoon he signed
the warrant. This paper recited the
faets'of the trial and conviction, and set
Wednesday, December II, as the time
for execution. Sheriff Holmberg, Of
Hknnepin county, was directed to hang
the convicted murderer between the
hours of midnight and daylight on the

after o'clock in the morning, People
wishing to see me will have to call at
the morgue, as L intend to change my
quarters" and he laughed loud as he
said it. To the newspaper man he said ::

laughed as if he were going to q picnic
instead OF to his death.

TIE CRIME.
A Brief Account Of The Crime for Which
Hayward Suffers the Last Penalty.

A Brief Account Of The Crime for Which |
Hayward Suffers the Last Penalty.
Minneapolis, Dec. l0.-Harry Hay |
ward was convicted Of planning and in
citing the murder Of Catharine Cling, q
sl.cssLlaker, Cor The purpose Of getting
the Insurance money that had been as
signed to him in security for loans he
claimed to have made to her for the
purpose of starting new business. The
murder was one of the most famous OF
murder mysteries, although solved in a
few days. The entire plan Of murder
was most deliberate. -,Blaus RIixt, the
engineer in the Ozark apartment house
in which Miss Cling lived, and whose
owner was Harry Hayward's father,
was the partner chosen for the crime,
and he afterwards confessed to the deed
and told the full story of how Harry
planned the deed and directed him to
do it.
E;Adry Hayward, an older brother of
Harry, had warned Elder Stewart of
the plan Of Harry and BHxt to murder
Miss Cling three days before the crime
was actually committed. Stewart, how
ever, took no stock in the story and told
| Adry it was simply foolish threat. The
crime was committed as then predicted. j..
For time Adry was under arrest
charged with completely in the crime,
but was afterwards released. B!ixt is
serving life imprisonment at the state
prison, having pleaded guilty when ar
raigned. His testimony was one of the
chief points in the trial which lasted
seven weeks, and was full of sensational
incident.
The jury brought in verdict after be-
ing out only few hours, and Gov.
Clough set June q as the date for exc
cutiOn.
! An appeal was filed with the supreme
court, however. and that necessitated q
postponement. The case did not finally
come up for argument before thot court
until November 4, and it was not until
I Nov. 20 that the supreme court an.
nounced the decision affirming the case
and finally settling the fact that, so fal
as the courts were concerned, Harry
Hay ward must die. Friends of the con
demned man, however, were still moi
without hope, and presented petition,
to the governor asking for mercy. Ont
of these petitions was signed by many
Minneapolis physicians, and i'll it va:
the statement that the signers believed
Harry Hayward was at least so far in
sane that he did not know what crime
he committed. The other physician:
did not sign aud would not do so, ane
the governor was not convinced that the
mental condition of the condemned
man required him to pardon or com
mute the sentence to life imprisonment
Last Saturday morning, as the las
method of appeal, the aged father ano
mother Of Hayward called on the gov,
ernor, having made an appointment
with him. They pleaded with him earn
estly and tearfully, asking only that the
; life of their youngest born might be
spared. Even kbis was hardly ex
pressed as they saAned too much over
